Bro, I don’t think this is progress at all. The updated content is completely out of proportion to the time spent.
I don't disagree with you - I'm simply saying if I were served both the current update version of Melissa dark path side by side to the older version at the same time - I'd opt for the updated version.

I think people here are confusing story progression with new content. While there isn’t much progression to stuff we have already seen in past versions. There is lots of new content. The whole chapter is pretty much been rewritten. There is lots of new renders and story scenes. The story has been changed slightly also.

Just because it’s chapter 1 still, doesn't mean there isn’t new content in the chapter. So I’d argue that there is progression in a content sense. There are some really hot Sunday event scenes for light and dark paths for Melissa and Nora, for example.

Some things in that update give me hope, but more things make my head hurt. I won't go into all of it as it will just be a waste of time. But I will talk about the possible need for a crack. If I read it right, the game will have code that will check against support tiers. I am actually surprised more creators don't do this. It wouldn't be that hard to tie the code into a tier or purchase from wherever. Buying from itch.io would generate an email that contains the registration code that the game would need to run. But if so, that will make simple re-posts of game releases more challenging for most folks here.

Time will tell...

I have no idea what version this technically is.(The game says it's 0.1.9.7 but that's also the name for an older version)
No clue if someone wants to update the main page or not since this is a test build but I suggest someone else make a mirror, I'm to lazy to re-up it when it goes down( I do not have premium so it will go down).

Is it really the new test build? After dinner I can't do anything and there are no dark scenes on gallery :(

there is some chapter 2 stuff added, just not all of it. there's lots of new content in chapter 1. its a rewrite and remake of chapter 1 though mainly yes.
What I've played it's significantly better but I can't help but think the strategy for these updates is awful haha, all this time and barley got chapter 2 done.

Appreciate the share, but as expected, it's pretty broken. Took forever to get Evelyn and Damien into the house, then I just never see them again. Like the Ava stuff hinted with her classmate at least. Maybe one day this'll be playable.

But fuck me, do they make this hard to play. Took me like three hours for all that shit there's just so much fluff and repeated scenes.

Go try it now.... So this is THE UPDATE testbuild?
How come its 2 files now? Before it was only 1 exe file, now its exe 78 MB and pck file 4.3GB.... ?

Well, it started :D Lets see, no saves, starting from scratch :D

Earlier PCK file was included (packed) inside EXE. They just changed approach. Both ways are available for Godot 4 Developers (engine game is based on). Saves are not working yep, the whole structure of persisted files is different (godot 3 vs godot 4).

1. Old saves won't work as this is a newer Godot engine and this release is a *remake*. So forget the old game. Some of the CG is the same, but otherwise it's a new game.

2. As mentioned, the .pck file can be included in the exe or separate. Previous releases have been done both ways.

3. The dialog font size is too small...tiny! On a 4k monitor I need a magnifying glass.

4. Maybe I skipped over all the prologue dialog in the previous game...or maybe I just don't remember, but the dialog is C level at best. Certainly not how one would speak in the US. Are there not any native speakers on the dev team? If this is going to be an A level game someone needs to either write better or find an editor.

I also just fundementally don't like how the powerscore is linked to being beta and humiliated by seemingly all the girls. I don't hate it for some of them (Mina, Evelyn), but for others it feels like no amount of character development could justify them calling MC a pathetic beta cuck and treating him like shit.

It makes sense for the powerscore to convey a feeling of helplessness, but like I say, I wish that didn't mean that my character had to be a pathetic little bitch in order to have NTR. Tbh I just hope there's lots of Ava content coming where she is simply seduced by an attractive guy with a big hog, no extra beta-bitch baggage.
