Hey, I actually reloaded the choice after seeing this reply, picked Lily first and then talked to Mallory, but once the Mallory call ends I get the same error.

Don't worry about such mistakes haha, part of the reason I like to play WIPs is to find and report such things, so future players can have a smoother experience - it's rewarding on its own way!

I downloaded the game this morning, did you upload the fixed version just today? If you haven't imo you should, or at least add the patch as a downloadable file so players can patch the game. 

Heya, on the choice between calling Mallory or Lily, I called Mallory first and when the conversation ended and I was meant to get the prompt to call Lily, I got this error (seems the choice menu that has only "Lily" on it is missing).

I've played a couple of versions, and I think I came across a bug I never noticed before, so I assume it was introduced recently-ish. Before Yuriko "takes over" the plaza and starts hanging there every evening, if you go to the plaza on that time of day - evening - the game acts as if you were clicking on the Bio AI lab instead. From what I could tell this doesn't happen at any other time of day, doesn't impede triggering events, and is fixed once Yuriko starts hanging out on the plaza, but still caught my attention.

On the topic of bugs, this has more to do with pathing/choices and consequences, but it has been the case for some time that even if I refuse to let Katsue enter the shower, MC still has the dialogue saying her idea to relieve stress was great when doing the repeatable "talk" with her. I bring this up because if you reject Effie on the pool, when repeating the "talk" with her she correctly references the fact that you turned her down (same as Aresianna after the beach event). I did spank Katsue when she burnt the food, in case a variable there has something to do with it, but I've otherwise done nothing lewd with her. EDIT: Also, on the Vess event Katsue says "you claimed me just the other night", even if I did not have sex with her, so now I'm pretty sure there must be a misplaced variable somewhere.

This is more of a suggestion, but... now that there's a choice to change your stance on being FAI/SAI later - great decision on your part, by the way - imo the warning given when making the first choice should be removed. Right now it still gives new players the impression that they are making a super important choice early on, so if the text that said the choice is super important was changed to something like "while your stance on AI is extremely important, you will get a chance to change it in the future", imo it'd help new players be more at ease.

Haven't exhausted the update yet, so I'll keep playing - props on the great game so far, you made a lot of endearing and sexy characters!

First things first, I completed chapter 4, and what a jump in intensity and narrative chapters 3 and 4 were, good work!

I understand such bugs being low priority, since their impact in the experience is minimal, if existent at all. That said, as a player who has no access to the "backend" of the game, seeing such gallery errors always makes me a bit queasy, because if a trigger was misplaced there to wrongfully unlock a scene, I start wondering where else there may be wrongfully placed triggers - in the choice pathing? If I see a scene unlocked that I didn't actually get, I start wondering if the game is tracking that variable right or wrong.

 To fully follow this case, in chapter 4 there's a scene where the friend is asked about MC being with others girls, and she says something like "I don't mind when it's with Edna since it's feels as if it's it were with myself" - yet both times I turned Edna down. Is that a phrase everyone sees regardless of anything else, or did I see it because of that one scene that wrongfully unlocked in the gallery? 

That's the type of "doubting the experience" such small bugs can cause, at least for me. Hence why I would recommend you to go back and fix it at some point, by all means, whenever you have time to spare. In the end, I think the game being "bulletproof" from a technical point of view can only benefit you and players both.

Interesting game so far (I've completed the first two chapters, will likely come back with deeper comments once I've played more). Wanted to report a small bug though, before I forget: even if you tell... Edna? The feral one, that you don't want sex with her, you still unlock a scene in the gallery!

I look forward to playing it over the weekend!

No, dev. For too long the AVN scene has been under this false dichotomy, that games must exclusively focus on NTR, or not feature it at all. No other tag or "flavour" is treated like this. Imagine if this applied to anal, cheating, incest, BDSM, MILFs, or any other kink widely present in vanilla harem games without isssue. 

You are entitled to have NTR be present in your game as just one more flavor, without being pushed to removing it, or focusing your entire game on it to include it. More than that, I feel such games being made would enrich the AVN scene, and allow it to "heal" from this malady it suffers, where NTR is treated as the plague.

I hate unavoidable things as much as one can dislike them, but when players are given the choice to get or avoid each piece of content, I feel they should simply shut up and play.

New chapter incoming? Let's go!

I think a bit of pressure can be healthy, so hopefully we can play update 2 in March!
I'm looking forward to it, so keep doing your best, but always taking care of yourself!

Is it normal to get an Emma scene (on the parking lot) after Grace says her goodbye? It kinda feels very out of the place, and I didn't even tell her that I'd "help her with anything" when I was serving her the previous day.

The update where you can avoid it is now live btw

I second this, we want Leah!

Let's go, had been waiting for this since I woke up!

The introduction was amazing, had to name MC "Hunter" haha

Can confirm I also got "Cory" instead of the name I choose on the dialogues

Honestly, I am a fan of short fight scenes, they make it so each attacks carries satisfying weight behind it. Like, in a death battle each attack should feel like it can be life/battle ending, like things could end the very next instant, and if foes keep fighting for a very long time it's easy to lose that tension. Short fights also make it believable that no one else has time to notice and intervene. So imo, keep doing what you're doing!

Certain developments - sex with the friends - are a bit rushed I'd say, but I can tell you are putting a lot of heart into this, so keep going. The two fights scenes we have gotten so far have been top tier, very hype.

Will/does this game feature choices, or must MC sleep with everyone?

How about devs updating on their game pages?

To give signs of life here should be their onus.

You and me both - hope is never lost!

Happy one year anniversary! 🥳

First, please add some download mirrors! If you can't have the game hosted natively on Itch, Mega and Google Drive are very welcome options, at least I don't like sites that give pop-ups after clicks.

Second: please don't be discouraged! Your game is enjoyable, keep making it, and include all you want on it! I would really enjoy avoidable flavors like NTR and all the range haha - some won't, of course, but isn't that the beauty of games? Something for everyone one, and if yours offers just that, then amazing, we need more games like those in the AVN industry! Keep fighting and creating, dev!

For sure, I will make sure to play 0.4 when it's out!

Best of lucks on the development of it, you've got this!

For anyone curious, the game does feature lesbian scenes, but they can be skipped on a clearly labelled choice.

You've done more than enough to prove you're an ass man, dev.

Was enjoying it, until it became a bit on-rails with Ashley, no option to turn down spanking her, no option to remain sitting instead of following her...

I also would like to report a bug: I didn't peek on Jade, yet her shower scene still appeared unlocked on my gallery. Also, I don't know if this is a bug or not, but flatering Nicole upon meeting her doesn't net you hearts with her.

I'm sorry for making this a technical comment, because there are many things in the game that I want to praise, and I hope to do so in the future. But I feel you really need to check and improve the way you are programming/coding the game.

Now, for full disclosure, the laptop I own is quite old. However, this is the first AVN I've played on it that has crashed, and multiple times at that. At first it happened during the Miss Rose scene, and I thought it may have been a combination of having music, animation, and sound effects going on at once, however then - the next day for me, so the laptop had time to "rest" and wasn't overheated or anything - it started crashing on the conversation at the Cafe scene. This to me, who knows nothing of programming, makes me think it may be a thing with the way you are making the music loop (like, the first time the track plays, it's fine, but it may start "accumulatinh" loops that make the program collapse, if that makes sense). I'm not one to obsess over graphics, but I have played many games with better ones that do not crash, and even the animations they play run smoothly, so I can only conclude it's an issue with the program. I tend to make a massive amount of save files, and I'm on page 50 for this game, however that has never given me issues on other renpy games, so if that's the issue there may be too many unnecessary information coded into each save? Of course, the game having a virus within its files is also a possibility. I would recommend you check it thoroughly and try to make it kinder on the processing to stop it crashing.

I see! That's nice to hear, that the chance to turn it down  will be implemented, I was going to suggest that myself haha.

Hey, I can confirm that does work as intended now!

I have another question though: is the scene with Yua post fight in the old battleground meant to always trigger, or only under a certain combination of choices?

Thanks for looking into it, I have hopes the issue will be resolved with that update! I will be sure to check once it's released, I'll delete all the files and persistent data and play the game from the start to be sure, so I can confirm to you if it was fixed or not.

I got the sense - due to the apology scene mainly - that he's acting polite to lull her into thinking he's actually a good guy/repentant, right? Imo that is fine, to have the MC outwardly acting and saying "vanilla" things, but, just as the apology scene goes, his internal thoughts should still be wicked. If him berating Jane to her face on each scene wouldn't be believable, and you want MC to act normal for a time with her, imo he should still totally berate her on his mind every time he sees her haha.

Honestly it is a tag I myself like haha, but you should do what you want, I'd rather see games that reflect each author's tastes and preferences, than to have a mass of similar games all chasing after the same things that the AVN fanbase tends to like.

Super valid of you dev, having a child is a life-changing event, and it's understanble if you don't want MC to have to deal with that, or to have any of the heroines deal with that as a consequence of romancing MC either, even in an epilogue type thing. It's your game, and what type of outcomes the characters get is up to you!

Hey, just to update you a bit, I reached the part with the sky boat, and after taking the commission Layla talks about what happened in the bathouse, so it isn't just that the gallery unlocks the scene despite not seeing it, but that the game treats it as having happened though it didn't.

Hi, new player here. Currently playing and enjoying it.

However, I would like to report a bug: in the private bath, I hid behind the pillar and didn't peek, so I got no scene there. However, the scene is unlocked in the gallery regardless. I choose to enable lesbian content and did peek at the girls when the two were bathing on first arrival, in case there's an out-of-place variable hiding somewhere for you to check that makes it be unlocked.

Hell yeah lol, loved seeing that, I play that with my nephew a lot!

Would you say the rework has more content than the old version now, or are you still catching up to the amount that was there?

One in-game day was indeed too little!

Honestly loving the amount of choices, for the game with the "sister" for example, lesser avns would have had just one choice, on wheter to play or not, MC asking for something spicier automatically, but giving the player two choices, one on if to play, and the other on what to ask after winning, is the level of interaction I want and appreciate, props for it!

As to what to improve, imo you should make so (most) animations don't loop back to the start, but stop once they reach their end point. For example, it's weird to see the "mom" walk out of the bathroom, stop in front of MC, then reapper in front of the bathroom to walk the hallway again. Such animations should just play once, and freze on the last frame until the player clicks.

Loking forward to playing future releases, best of lucks with the game!

EDIT: Also, maybe you should wait until the next release so the game has more content, but consider promoting it on the AVN subreddits!

Hey, does this game feature choices or different outcomes of any kind?

If it does not (or even if it does), is it possible to avoid a girl entirely, or
is it one of those games where you need to progress A to continue with B?
