Again as for the grey it was still a learning curve for the devs but it gets sorted you just have to look past it for the time being, i honestly didnt think it looked that bad, her transition makes it all worth it. She is very smart as you'll notice but i personally think that because she is a hermit she's not so street smart, so she seems to have a bit of naivety to start with certain things.
A learning curve that was corrected (kind of unfortunately). The greyish that was used probably wasn't the best idea but I like pale skin myself. It set her apart for me in the beginning. She's still my favorite but I miss zombie girl, I even told her that I preferred it.

Another learning curve is obviously the animations. They get so much better it's hard to look at the first ones. I'm hoping that after it's done the older ones are brought up to the same level, especially Debbie and Wanda's first. Those two are the worst I think.

I also don't personally care for the very third person renders that have been starting. It's just a personal preference but it's much more immersive for me in first person. All the birds eye kissing and almost the entire sex scene with Angel may as well have just been another character in the the game, not the player. That's how it is for me anyway. I almost expected Natasha to actually show a picture of the MC's face. I'm glad she didn't.

Hi! From your comments, I presume you're one of the developers of the game. I don't know if someone commented about it before, but I think I caught a bug: I'm not pursuing any relationship with Monica, but, after the movie session, when I'm with Katie later that night, she shows up dressed as a nurse and my relationship with all of them is over. I don't think this should happen if I'm not having an affair with Monica, so I'm just reporting it. Other than that, keep up with the excellent work. It's one of my favorite games and the best-crafted story I've seen around here. Cheers!
not sure how did you manage to achieve that:LUL:
in my plathrough mc even fucks monica dressed up as a nurse (while waiting for katie), and with katie everything remains as peachy as ever.

I had that happen to me but only when I had the cheekyGimp mod installed when I removed it the Katie scene proceeded like normal without Monica appearing.

Yup, that bug is fixed in the updated version, which is hosted on our patreon.

And here I am... looking at the script file trying to figure out what goes wrong in that scene and then sloppily editing the script so that scene can no longer trigger if Katie is with the MC in the room. I am not even a modder (I was a web developer in a different life though, so variables etc don't scare me). That such a complex game has relatively few bugs is impressive.

I'll sometimes create a green colour variable...
Python:
default grn="{color=#0F0}"
and then go through the code searching for "menu:" and then adding that colour to the correct choice after examining the variables, so if you had a menu that was like...

Python:
menu:
    "Accept her offer.":
        #stuff happens here
    "Reject her offer."
        #more stuff happens here
And if the second choice was the best one, I would alter it like:
Python:
menu:
    "Accept her offer.":
        #stuff happens here
    "[grn]Reject her offer."
        #more stuff happens here
...and when I play it, it is in green. Simple, works well, no outside mods needed. Most games are fairly simple to figure out this way.

it being a learning curve is the whole reason i am staying with the game and suggest it as a update later on ;)

Yes, it's not rocket science :D

But your approach would also spoil things maybe, so I usually don't look at the script files unless something goes wrong or I encounter content I really don't like - not in this game, but another game I played resulted in a scene that came out of nowhere based on how many points you have with a character, I rolled back, saved, quit, edited the script, nasty scene was gone, which was completely out of left field, was never talked about after and never even referenced, no idea what the dev was thinking here ;). It just made no sense. So in these instances I may have a look at the script. But this doesn't happen often.

Thanks, we do our best. It also helps if players are playing our most updated version, F95 has a habit of only updating for our initial releases and not any following bug fixes.

Even so, there are things we don't catch or end up expanding later requiring some questions occasionally. You see most of that in the quickstart though.

Yeah, I always do a normal play through and I don't always do this, mainly for games I have replayed. I have also, on rare occasions, added in code at the start to disable the walkthrough like...

Python:
"Enable Walkthrough?"
menu:
    "Yes":
        default grn = "{color=#0f0}"
    "No":
         default grn = ""

It might help if you added some sort of rev number to the release. It's difficult to tell if one copy of a given episode is more recent than another copy when they both have the same name. Even within the game there's rev or patch number, just the total number of episodes available.

I just changed that line that was on "Episode21.rpy" file (line 5481 on my editor) from this:
I tried that, for some weird reason I still got that scene. I even dabbled with the "Mdate" variable... still got that scene. Must be my permutation of the story. I just excised it entirely from the script to get the intended Katie scene (I also ditched Monica, so that created no issues for me) and things were good after that.

I think Cheeky prefers with just going by timestamps and notifying patreons when there is a patch.

Ohhh, Just tried a bit... So much freedom in interactions, serious game indeed, but not sure I really want to play it now, I already feeling too much stress (that feeling... like a kid in Toy store with all the toys you're dreamed of but must choose only one and not even sure parents Will have enough money to buy chosen one...)
Really surprised there is no Ntr tag in such kind of game...

I think more games should give this kind of freedom. So many others are little more than KNs pretending to be VNs or games. You just click through the story and watch scenes you have no real control over. This one actually lets you have a say in a great many things.

I'm not sure what type of game you think this is but NTR doesn't fit it at all. It doesn't sound like you got very far into it. You should play it some more and then come back to that statement. I can't tell if you personally are pro or con when it comes to NTR but it seems likes like people will say it's appropriate to every AVN regardless of the setting.

Ahah, I've played Just a bit indeed)
I Will surely play it in future, when I'm in right mood and enough time for it, it's a waste to play it with some quick and humble sessions like avg harem time killer imo
And I'm not really a big ntr fan but I Just like when ntr is present at least, more different emotions makes it more interesting but nevermind Me)
Not bitching even a bit, Just thoughts
