No, doesn't work. I have restored the original price so you will be able to download the new version. I will have to work out another approach to align the pricing with Steam. Thank you for making me aware of this issue.
I think I found the issue: I raised the price with 99 cents in order to harmonize more with the price level on Steam. This means that you might have to add another 99 cents in order to unlock this content. Sorry for the inconvenience, I wasn't aware of the fact that this would influence people who'd already bought the season.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I see this comment ever so often - the projection of the full amount for the full 6 seaons. The comparison to AAA games is understandable, at the same time, these developers have tens or maybe even hunderds of millions of dollar budget, where as The Builder is a cottage industry. So you have to look at it in terms of handcrafted goods - with its beauty faults and its personality.
Having said that, I totally agree that with the present amount of content for the two seasons the pricing of the full six will be too high. If you go to Steam, you can buy the two seasons as a bundle - and I agree that when the story is brought to its conclusion, there has to be a price / value adjustment.
This is my first game. I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn when I majored in literature, including tech stuff, pricing mechanics, 3D rendering, automations and customer care. It's extiting but also demanding. For that reason, I am very grateful for your input, and to summarize: Duly noted. The full price of the six seasons needs to be lower than an AAA game by far.
How to get there is a process, and any ideas are most welcome.
Thank you for your question. I still haven't worked out how to make this work in an automated way, but I'll post and update as soon as I work out if it's doable.
Thank you for your input! I will try to adress your comments as good as I can - and I would love your thoughts on this:
Pricing
It's been hard for me to assess the price level on this - but I take with me your input - thank you
Screenshots
It was a long process to get the game approved with several changes of plans, so this needs to be cleaned up. As for the quality of the overall game, that is of course done to the best of my abilities.
The narrator screens
I guess this is a question of taste - Not all images are that fun to create either. But okay, noted.
Achievements
This is work in progress - a lot more is planned on being added - as mentioned in the release notes.
Thank you for playing and for taking time to give feedback.
I am constantly working to improve the game, and your input is duly noted.
As for the paranormal and spiritual stuff of S2, It's just the expression of some of the character's views. Not something that influences the bigger story line.
I'm dissapointed too - I'd love for ep 10 to be done by now - but S2 on steam is early release. Steam has taken a lot of focus away from ep 10 unfortunatly. Hopefully It'll all be worth it in the end
Hi, Ep 10 is still some months away. I might do a mid-episode release across all platforms. If you buy the season pass here all releases will be included. As soon as the Steam release is stable, I will release the enhanced Season 1 here and on Patreon/SubStar.
I will see what I can do. The joints are beyond me, but the breasts and the skin should be within reach somehow. Tears are always a hazzle, but there are assets for them, so it should be possible.
Won't be this month though, as I'm working hard with the Stream release.
Thank you for your support and feedback! I needed to remove the AI images so the game can be AI clean, but I have noted your feedback and will bring that with me in further revisions.
If you can specify what aspect of the new images that creates what creepy feeling, that would be of help.
In Season 1 there's the MC having sex with two pregnant ladies and they happen to touch each other too - kinda naturally given the situation. Not much of this in Season 2, but there's one lady touching the tits of another.
I have noted your request and can try to remember to do lesbian content skippable or optional moving forward.
I agree with the lack of agency, and it has become more apparent to me as Season 2 progresses. As this is my first VN (I've worked only with linear storytelling earlier), I'm kinda learning the ropes on this one. My ambition is to go back and rework bits once the Steam release is done. Introducing more choices and branching is on the top of the list. For Season 3 I'm planning an even more player driven progression, where you have to make more of an effort to bed the ladies. But again, this has to be weighted with writing and visual work. The more advanced programming you have, the more time it takes away from the other stuff.
Episode 10 will also have six different experiences depending upon one choice made in ep9 and one branching in the beginning of 10. But branching is a lot of work, so the scenes will have similar content with some variations, and the second to last scene will be diferent depending upon the choice of path.
Re stats: I've fine tuned the threshold levels of each season so that some choices need certain levels to kick in. If you carry from S1, it will become a bit too hard for my reach. I'm first and foremost a writer, and not much of a programmer, unfortunately.
The final episode in Season 2 (Ep 10) is included in your purchase of the season 2 pass so the files will be available to you. Thank you for your support!
Ah thank you for clearing that up! I will upload the newest releases to the episode 6 product. Might be a bit later today, so I can get back to my dev environment
Allright, I then need to know what version of Season 2 you purchased! Because I hope I made all the early episodes into Season pass... Obviously I must have missed something
