Family first; the rest can be put on hold.
Your dedication to this game will eventually see it to its conclusion -some day.
We all can wait.
If you free the slaves, maybe simply allow them to stay with you, as they probably have no -safe- place to go to. Then allow a possible relationship to develop, if that is what both parties can agree with; more consensual. With the male freed slave it can still some sort of a dom/sub relationship -if memory serves me- but more like roleplaying in the bedroom. I don't know how much work that would involve, but it may require setting up alternate dialog while still using the lewd scenes that are already there. Or maybe, my approach is too simplistic?
On a new topic: is there a spell list of the available spells in the game; and how and where to acquire them? Are there more trainers in the game than the Fire Wizard and the guy in the Adventurer's Guild (not counting Carla).
Does using your different combat skills (like Guard) increase them? I rarely use anything but spellcasting.
Ah, okay; thanks for the clarification -love the game.
And while I understand the reasoning as to why the MC's Willpower and Intelligence decline in such an extreme fashion when following the Zanti path, I always wondered whether it could have been more akin to what the circus hypnotist does: breaking the MC's will with a sort of fixed reduction of her stats. If the MC is bimbofied by Sonya, the INT drop is far more dramatic than what the hypnotist does.
In a nutshell: my MC has the Tease background and Santhora as a deity, leaving her with max WIL of 100, 60 INT -which I jack up to 100 using the hypnotist and the library of the Mage's Guild- and 40 INH. If the Zanti's would simply kidnap her from her home after the first time she has worked at their farn and then inject her with the breast enhancing drug that would make her more susceptible to their hypnosis. If they implant a trigger a la Manchurian Candidate to turn her, they could leave her INT at a 60 MAX just like the Bimbo Trait and do the samae to her INH -also 60 MAX, but with a 20 point reduction because of her starting stat,so it'd be 40/60. Then also leaving her WIL intact, the Zanti's would have a very powerful tool at their beck and call; OR simply make her stats decline as intended for the Zanti path, and if the MC chooses to be their field agent, reset her stats to 60 MAX for both INH and INT, resetting her WIL to her starting stat and adding the BIMBO Trait if she didn't already have it. This way their agent will be powerful enough to get her jobs done and being able to improvise as the situation would require, while still being a loyal Zanti agent.
In short, I really love the Zanti path, but the massive stats drop makes me steer clear of it. So this is me just ramblling about an alternate approach -I fully understand the unfeasibility of it, so no worrries. Just my 2 cents really.

2.36 pc version:
During nocturnal masturbation scenes -when horny enough- I get this red lettered message about "Image" something, something; I cannot fully decipher the text as it is in red colour within the time and date bar at the top of the screen (blame my red / green colour blindness). On a side note, the cosplay Elf Dress has no menu image / image is missing.

Playing former male MC; every day clothes purchased, colours modfied. When talking to Dr. Nikolas during first body alterations (the freebie), once concluded and exiting the body menu, MC is immediately fully clothed, then stripped down to underwear, only to be fully clothed again; I'm guessing the proper sequence ought be when exiting body change menu: naked, underwear, fully clothed?
Maybe some glitch on my end; or something you might be able to reproduce?
Greatly enjoyed 0.4; fascinating story development and refreshing not to see sex everywhere. Love the characters, the tension and the choice you can make.
Just a quick question: I anticipate that it would take a lot of work, but are you planning [someday] on giving the MC -and others characters- some more facial expressions on their character portrait (that shows who is talking). Right now the MC's portrait look a bit too static.
Otherwise: great fun! Feels like any adult content will serve the story -not the other way around.
The illusion of freedom of choice quickly dissolves when certain choices are rejected, (trying to sneak past the old man is a no-go, meaning only 1 viable option is ever available) or your refusal to accept propositions will not allow you to progress through the story.
I would not have minded helping out Sun with his pictures, but I find his immediate abusive response to be off-putting. As for the cursed git; I don't think the protagonist is that gullible. And then I'm stuck; no other options left.
If the only way to progress, is to let others take advantage of you, I do not consider this a VN; it should just have been a slideshow instead -no need for choices of player input. Simply watch the predestined path unfold.
Nice graphics, good music and easy UI; but ultimately, in this particular form, not my cup of tea.
Nice to know it's still being worked on; sorry to hear about your hectic workload, but some things in life take precedence over stuff like game development in your free time; priorities and all.
So welcome back; imho it should remain fun for you to work on your game and not be some additional burden to bear, so please take your time.
It depends; if you start a new game, there is an option to edit your stats and your money (although not recommended by the creator, if you want a more full game experience). Or if you're willing to cheat a little during an existing game there is: https://www.saveeditonline.com/
