I feel like opening this alpha was a mistake

Don't give up. I'm rooting for you. No rush, I've seen good progress since the previous 0.2 version.
Since I'm a Linux user and enthusiast of FOSS. Can you please check the Linux launcher for it. It does not launch, I'm using Linux Mint cinnamon 21.2
I had to get it to work by using a recent Renpy SDK (8.1.3).
I don't know if you'll make a thread for it but here are some things I've noticed.
- I was getting a bug where Milli repeatedly asks for you to take a shower with her. (after completing alpha story and raising stats enough)
- There's another bug that I got near the end, but I need to locate it and report it when I can.
- "OSError: Couldn't find file 'home/user0/game projects renpy/LivingInViellci-0.3-pc/game/ItchPageImage/6p6GhW.png"
That error happens after you click continue to go on to the main screen.
Opinion:
-- The walking on foot system can be a bit confusing. I've gotten lost several times, I've loaded the game twice just because I lost enough energy and time from trying to navigate.
There's no thread for bug reporting so far for your game. I think there's more but I'll need to check again to confirm.
I don't use Discord, I hate it and it's not FOSS. There is Lemmy as a alternative to Reddit to get your game out there.

Also, good luck with your game.
Thank you so much Lord Voldy! ^^
Ohhh, Aight I'll see what I can do about the Linux version later! thanks for the feedback!
Also, since you got the game to work by using renpy 8.1.3, can you tell me, when you hover on Millie's sprite, does she reset the animation?

I went back and found another error that was initiated when I clicked on the shutter and pressed S to take a screenshot. I have the log for it. Hopefully I can message you it through Itchio.
I don't know if it's by design, but after Millie takes a shower, I patted her head and her clothes changed into the night set.
I've also seen that she keeps that on in the morning of Sunday instead of her daytime outfit. In another instance, she was wearing her day time set at night. Even after taking actions they don't change to the night set.
As for the Sprite animation, I'm not sure what the sprite set is supposed to transition to. It seemed fine for most actions.
In my opinion, I would switch out the S button to go back to being a screenshot key. and use another key for the inventory. I had to use my screenshot software to get this screenshot for you to see Millie's outfit not changing in the morning.
I also have to go through the entire intro and starting point before I can touch the load screen. Will there be a skip option in the update for that?
Heya Lord Voldy!
can you tell me more details about this part?
"I don't know if it's by design, but after Millie takes a shower, I patted her head and her clothes changed into the night set.

I don't quite get it, can you tell me that you took a shower on the weekend morning and pat her head but turns out the clothing is night set ... or?
and please, if you could, provide me with a video of how you experienced the clothing issue, thank you ^^
Right after showering, Millie just has her towel on. The next thing I did was pat her head and she changed into her night set right after.
- I've noticed that Millie does not change her clothing set to the appropriate time of the day. For example, when going from night to morning, she still had her night clothing set on. She still remained in her night set even after some time has passed.
Sorry, I don't have too much time to spare on bug testing for you. I'm currently busy with other stuff.
As you can see here in the morning with her daytime clothing set on. I took a few actions after napping and she still does not change into her nighttime clothing set.

It's okay! Thank you for the input! (I know you also have a game of your own to develop! ^^)
So that's is normal by design, she will wear the night / day clothing set once she took a shower (for example: take a shower at night, day -> night set, take a shower at day, night -> day) so, she will keep wearing the night / day clothing before she take a shower
so in that screenshot, if that time you haven't take a shower with her, she will keep wearing the clothing until you take a shower alone or with her~ and the towel is like a transition to change her clothing set!
Unless... you already take a shower and she doesn't change her set despite the towel or doesn't even change to towel at all, then it is a bug!

By mistake i don t mean that i don t like it, i do because i played previus version, but for a new player downloading this version it might be a bad experience because it just has less content than the old one, shower events for example.
