It's not Cheekys Official one, So I said no

Cheeky hasn't made an official one since Episode 5, if I'm not mistaken.
EDIT: Okay, guess I was mistaken. Somebody should link that shit though.

Nah, Episode 8 WT is out soon.

 

[DrFog]

Nah, Episode 8 WT is out soon.

Oh yeah, I guess you're right. Wonder why nobody's linked the official ones on here yet...

 

[CheekyGimp]

@CheekyGimp Did you add animation at 08?

Yes, one short one in 08 and two in 09. Credit goes to @Aeilion

 

[aweriel]

No

Here's my crunched versions.

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make shit smaller. You've been warned so no bitching.

Thanks for a very interesting and rewarding update. I'm pretty intrigued to know the undisclosed terms of the will, as well as the identity of the 2nd gold-digging bimbo (I'm sure it has something to do with the coffee shop)!

 

[MrRick]

Thanks - Every time I try to create an android version, it crashes out on me and I never took the time to try to figure it out. do you mind if I post this link ?

I dl'ed the android version and made a wrong choice and I'm in a continually stuck in the end credits and can't get back to the main menu to reload. I even deleted the game and tried to reload it but every time it boots up it's back to the end credits. How do I fix this?

 

[UncleVT]

Yes Compressed means image quality sucks

Also false.

darling, post every link of your game as you see fit.

delete _reload-1-LT1.save or _reload-2-LT1.save

OK first I really love this game. The story is excellent, dialog realistic and it hits a lot of buttons. But the graphics are gorgeous. I know we all know this but playing the compressed version first (patience not being my long suit ) then looking at uncompressed really brings home how gorgeous the work here is - Monica in particular. Great job Cheeky. Sorry you didn’t get what you wanted on timing but like you said let’s comment on it and appreciate it

I could say finances are causing releases to be far apart (and hopefully drive some extra patrons), but.... it would be a lie!
The main reason updates take so long is because of the amount of work involved. I have a full-time job, so I spend about 5-6hrs per evening (weekdays) and about 10-12hrs per weekend working on it and still barely manage to get an update out every month. sometimes I take an evening or weekend day off for RL shit and sometimes I cram extra time into the game, but overall, it's around 60hrs per week. I managed to cope solo for the first few months because I had been working on stuff in the background before I ever released, so I had a bit of a stockpile to pull from, but now I wouldn't be able to get an update out monthly without Aeilion on the team! So without him, I would have had to switch to an update every two months, rather than one per month.
The delay before this episode was the longest since I started because a good chunk of Nov/Dec were a write-off because I had too much other shit to sort out (Girlfriend QT, exams and I changed job).
So, in short, more money won't increase release speed. But eventually, would like to continue to expand the team, so that would be the next financial goal! But even if I expanded the team, I wouldn't move to updates shorter than a month. I'd work on improved quality / possibly more features (one good example would be the ability to add short animations since Aeilion cmae on board)

I appreciate the candid reply, certainly reinforcing the belief that you care about your project and indeed audience. Nice to know how it began and where you are at now.

Consider me yet another convert when Ep 10 is on its way!

With that being said, as a current non-patron, what is the best way to report bugs/typos or grammar issues? For example I see "thrash" talk rather than trash-talk being used (also in one of your comments here).
I type up transcripts for a living, so my eye is drawn to this sort of thing and while I can read through it, I'd be happy to shoot you a message when I spot them if it helps?

You can still join his Discord even if you are not pledged to him, So would be best to do that. Then report it in the "Feedback" section of his discord.

Good, solid update. Enjoyed Jenna's time to shine.

 

[lordofhirunds]

I played this game four times without ever getting tired, I love Monica's character, but I also like Kate and Jenna. The story is compelling. thank you CheekyGimp for the beautiful moments that you give us.

 

[asgardtipar2]

Really fun update with a lot of sexy scenes.

Two scenes left me with a sense of unease. One was almost certainly intentional. The second, I can't figure out if it was an intentional plot point or throwing a bone to the incels.

I downloaded compressed version when I downloaded, dont know if I accidentaly clicked compressed or if there were "full" version.. Just writing this now, havent checked.. What is the dif, and will I miss some content if I keep the compressed

You won't miss any content between the compressed version and full. It's mainly file size and render quality.

 

[acewinz]

Nice update even with the minimal Monica content.

 

[Jackbite]

Cheeky Gimp has found the right ingredients Compiling story, Great characters, Dev's out there need to take a leaf out of his/her Book!
