So tell me again how the Sabotage works? Because I can't stop it either and frankly this is feeling more like NTR. I read you are supposed to get 3 options to stop it, starting from chapter 19 Lily romance only, I'm only getting 2 sabotage options.

This "Beta" should not have been posted IMHO... there's missing content with placeholder images - it's more of an Alpha release than a true Beta.

By our usual standards you are correct that the beach house at least is semi-alpha. But compared to the usual standard... The other two scenes in the game are complete with the exception of an issue with

The reason this was released as is was because Cheeky had some rl work issues come up and it would have delayed the release more than it already was. So we made the choice to release it as is so our patreons could enjoy the majority of it if they want over the weekend, while we have the opportunity to fine tune it with feedback. Maybe not everyone likes being teased with an unfinished product, but considering the game has been in production for a couple years now... Oh well, we do our best.

We don't do NTR. The scenes pathing isn't entirely finished, but it's still avoidable as is.

I gotta say Lilly and Bella where my top 2 romance options, I read that you can stop it from happening but frankly it happens no matter what for me. She just let's it happen, Debbie is taking Lily away and having a Romantic scene and as I understand Netorare and NTR as defined by the site, this is in fact an NTR scene.

Not really my thing and this basically kills alot of the joy on a Lily love route. You should be allowed to interject more stop it or at least break up the moment it happens. You get nothing, you just have to like it. I'm still in love with this game but the joy was just significantly reduced for me, we at least need a well detailed writen walk through for this scene or at minimum it should be made clearer what choices you need to make to prevent this other than just leaving.

That's my opinion at least.

Now that is just bait.

Yeah, I don't get that, instead Debbie pounces Lilly, Lilly let its happen and you have to watch.

Let me be clearer, I'm using the start at episode 19 feature,

I go from this scene

And I'm not trying to bait here dude, it's just if this is an error or misunderstanding better it's fixed during beta?

Now that is something constructive I can look into. I just don't want us going down the rabbit hole when people start tossing out the 3 letter word. No mods?

No mods, I like the game as is, I'm using an android version made by the66

 

[MikyChan]

Save?

 

[Ranting Old Man]

Yeah I've tried everything I can think of, every combination from that state and it always ends the same.

 

[acewinz]

And how "do I not allow it"? I went back to a save before Katie asks for the use of the beach house and there is no option to refuse to let them go there. There is no option to not go with bella - so im forced to leave the girls alone in the beach house and by the time I get back they are drunk. And I also dont see an option of forbidding them to get to the drinks.

You are talking like it should be painfully obvious what to do to prevent it. It is not - and looking at the comments im far from the only one who doesnt get what should be done to remain on a Lily only path. I started a whole new game just for this - opted at every opportunity against this - just to be sure. And still cant avoid it. Its incredibly frustrating because this IS a really great game - and usually is very open about the consequences of your choices. Except here.

I tried it again, just to make sure, and the following option after the two sabotage options is just Say Nothing/It's hot. Nothing about telling her no, the MC tells her it's ok by default. Didn't redownload it, I'll just check the final version. Thanks for the help.

Edit: I think you are thrown out only if you are in a relationship with katie (and/or maybe fooled around with Debbie?), but if you are soloing Lily, you are not thrown out.

Found it! Yup, the line indentations weren't right at one point and it skips the player exit under some specific conditions. Also found a missing variable where you still wakeup at the beach house after getting thrown out lol. Thanks! Here is the up to date rpy for the help if you'd like to try it. (But it may not be easily applied with android, but with a file manager maybe, it doesn't add much just bug fixes so far and that pathing issue.)

I don't know how to fix it myself but it's more than enough for me to know that it was a bug that will be fixed in the futute. Thanks man. Saves me alot of grief.

 

[Azazeal]

ever get the feeling your repeating yourself alot ....

That generally when you leave, grab a cup of coffee or a soda, and just stare at the screen and question ones own sanity. Then again, some like the attention of repeating themselves. xD

Okay, I'm out into the official release. acewinz does your patreon page have yearly billing activated? I feel it's time I pledged but I prefer to make one payment instead of 12

You know I'm not sure. CG handles the patreon. Thanks again though.

Old mods don't work with new updates.....
Modded saves will most likely not work with unmodded game....
Mod is not supported here....ask author in his thread to update it (Which he likely won't as it's a beta release).

That's kinda what I thought.
Thank you, friend.

This reads like some sort of Sex Matrix

when will the complete ep19 be released?

Depends on CG's rl work. Usually I'd say two weeks so we have time for feedback/bugfixes etc, but can't be sure right now.

My eyes must device me but... Debbies new workings looks great. Not so much Katie... Still love her, but the hair or eyes just looks off to me...
