You should be able to unlock this scene no matter when you find the telescope, it just might not be available the first time you interact with it, but after some time.
The chance of persuasion depends on the level of Eloquence, the higher it is, the higher the chance that persuasion will work successfully. But you only get one try, so if you fail, you either have to reload or find other ways.
In this particular case, you can give the cop a donut, which you can buy at a cafe in the Suburb (the first building next to the road to the Park Area).
Hey! To open the suitcase in the Red Light District you need the code. Take a closer look at the walls of the building on the roof of which you found it :)
Let me know if you have any issues running the game or encounter problems during gameplay.
I'll keep this post up-to-date with known issues and their potential resolutions:
(On Windows only) Some antivirus software can affect the performance of the game, causing stuttering and freezes. This is due to the peculiarities of extracting game data packed in exe file. If you encounter similar problems, try disabling your antivirus while you play and see if it helps.
There are eight possible encounters as of v.0.3.0a, and you need seven to ulock the scene. There are two left for you, both in the RLD. One near the parking lot during the night, and one near the northeast road block during the day (only available if you ever paid to any of the local hookers)
She appears in the Cafe (Suburb) three days later. After that in v.0.3 you can meet her in different parts of the city. After a number of these encounters there will be a bonus scene
v.0.3 means that solid progress has been made since v.0.2.0 release (and also that I wanted to reflect my new start after the hiatus).
It's impossible to say exactly how much of the game is ready now. Largely because I don't have a strictly scripted plot ready for each of the stories, I go along and see where it takes me, trying new ideas in the process. Something then goes into the release, something doesn't. Of course, I already know how I want to finish some of them, but there are different ways to get there, and a lot can be changed in the process.
The final amount of content in the game will depend on various factors, but I definitely don't plan to develop it forever. The project will have its finale. How long this will take, I don't know. Like you said, I do it alone. And unlike the guys whose income from patreon allowed them to make working on their projects their part-time or even main job, I can only afford to work on mine at night or on days off.
Releasing the game on Steam is very unlikely, because they are constantly tightening the rules regarding games that have adult content. But who knows, we'll see :)
Hey! To start Jinni's story, you need to get a treasure map from the Pawnshop. That scene in the gallery is also from her side story. You can check the walkthrough for details.
Yeah, the plan is still the same, I'll release an update before November ends, will unfreeze my Patreon after that happens and starting from December I will return to active work on the project
I plan to continue her story in a one of the future updates. There is nothing new planned for her in the upcoming update, apart from some changes to the existing content.
I'm alive and planning a comeback, I guess in my situation that can count as okay. But I can't give any specific dates this time, it happens when it happens.
It's almost ready. I was planning on releasing it a long time ago, but in recent months I've been: 1) Overwhelmed with work, 2) Confined by post-covid fatigue. So I'm not sure about anything anymore. Still hope to release it before the end of this month.
Fishing doesn't work with the save files transferred from the old versions, sorry. It only works for those who started a new game in 0.2.2b or one of the later versions.
You are the second person from whom I hear about that site. Just to be clear - I have nothing to do with putting releases there. And I've never made Web version of the game, so it's no surprise that it works terribly bad, it's just not designed to be run in a browser.
Unfortunately, I can't help you, because I don't know exactly how and in what format their site stores saves, and if the data is stored locally or globally. I suggest you contact the site admin. But to be honest, I don't think you can move your saves from there.
