Hey before everything else; you can jump to any chapter you'd like by going to settings and clicking Chapters, this way you could have jumped to Dimitri's latest chapter, or vice versa :) only works for chapters you've unlocked though! Which, if you said 'yes', would have unlocked them for you.
I wanted to force the player to see the intro - which is a one-time thing only anyway. I didn't count on people starting a new game haha.
The minigame of is set up in a way that you can easily breeze through chapters if that's the only thing you're interested in. It becomes harder the more items you buy. Considering you didn't buy anything, it is pretty darn boring, yes :) It should also scale, the more you make, the more gold you earn. I believe you stopped pretty early so you didn't see the increase in gold. Someone else managed to score a nice 70,000 gold, sheesh. I actually lowered the amount of gold you'd earn based on exp, since it was a liiiittle too easy.
Do you remember doing anything special before trying out Neil's chapters 21+ due to it not costing any gold to proceed? I can't seem to replicate the bug.
I will see about a preview in the shop, but don't count on it, I'll have to pay my programmer money to change it, and he's out of commission at the moment.
Any beta version means the next one won't work with your old save file. Not until I can finally call it a 'demo', at which point I will stop changing around core mechanics of the game and your old save file will work. Beta versions will be drastically different each time, so old save files will not work.
Unfortunately, nothing is going to happen between the MC and any of the guys. Rating and all! However, I may release some 18+ stories in the future :) As for Dimitri ... for some reason, his next 3 CGs are all of him basically shirtless/naked haha. I think I enjoy torturing him a bit too much. His route won't be as steamy as Neil's will, but I've definitely included at least one!
I'm happy you liked the moan sfx XD picking out which soundbite they should use for each line is pretty fun.
Next update shouldn't take as long as the previous one, considering I took a long break last time. And now most of the technical stuff is finished. I'm going to re-haul the main menu for the next update, and see if I can include Dimitri's chapters up till chapter 10. Neil's passionate ending is finished, but his innocent ending still needs to be written and I'm having a bit of trouble with it. No worries though, I'll manage :)
