Episode 3 will be released alongside the Benchwarmer tier on Patreon (as will all future Steam updates). It'll be on Itch the 24th of this month.

But will they still get future updates? It's entirely possible possible that I'm just misreading it, but there's conflicting information that's not really helping. The Pricing page on Itch says you're free to change the price and people will retain ownership, but it doesn't specify anything about future updates.

From another dev (paraphrased from what I remember): "I can tell you think of a price and stick with it throughout development. I found this out the hard way when Itch blamed me for raising my price and said it was why people couldn't access the latest update."

I'm looking to raise the price of my current game from 10.99 to 11.99 to match the Steam price, but from everything I'm reading, it basically locks out anyone who previously purchased the game at 10.99. Is there any way to raise the prices without locking users out?

1. Working on that currently. Still trying to figure out what the best overall approach is for German audiences and Steam.

2. It will. Most of the code and such is already done. It's being graphically touched up and being made a bit more user friendly.

3.  Soon. Some of the basic ideas will come into play in Episode 3. The Superstar Trait will be introduced. There'll come points during each episode that you'll have opportunities to train a certain aspect. There's going to be a limited pool of points. I haven't played Unbroken, so I'm not entirely sure. Will have to take a look. But there will be varying levels of interactivity during games.

Hi, I'm using the code for something similar to this. But I'd like to hide it during certain scenes. Is there any way to hide it manually as needed?

While we try to keep everything as clean as possible, there's always few bugs that'll find ways to slip through the cracks. Especially with one like the Episode 2 update, where the entire UI was changed. If you come across any, no matter how small, please post them here. The quicker I can get them fixed, the better the experience will be for you and everyone else.

Note for Android Bugs: I'm aware there's a number of them, and as I've said, this is currently the last Android update coming from me. I'm looking into options for people to make them, but I'm not in a massive rush seeing as only a small percentage of my users are Android. JoiPlay will be fine for the time being. :)

Sorry if this is the wrong area, but saw that Void Star posted here some time back. Figured it was okay.

I'd be fine if it were just one or even two. But the fact that there's 4 reviews, all within a few days of each other and more or less all saying the same thing with similar verbiage, is pretty fishy smelling. All of their accounts are curiously not accessible.  The said content has both a toggle to turn off any LGBT content at the very beginning - before you even start playing. That's not even getting into there being zero LGBT content in the most recent updated version. So, why all of a sudden and not during the initial release (that included said content)?  It doesn't make a lot of sense. 

I'm not really whining about reviews, I couldn't care less. But just wondering if there's any way to combat obvious trolling/review-bombing (either via other developers or some anti-social group of morons) without having to turn off reviews? Beyond reporting them and letting them stay there for months, that is.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you! Hope you enjoy what's to come!

Ah, sorry about that! 

Reposted the links. They should be up now! :)

Regarding Android: It may or may not work. It wasn't personally working for me until I installed it via SAI/Split APKs Installer (on the playstore). But I've had people say it works.

Yep. Solo routes for most of the girls, as well. :)

No. Should be out mid-April (23rd-ish) for Itch buyers. :)

LOL. I thought of including options for cheap shots, but it doesn't really fit with the story.

Sorry about that. It's been noted and fixed for Episode 2.

Gotta love these Itch notifications sometimes.

It's not necessarily abandoned, just on a temporary hold. Largely due to the financial investment nearly doubling the return. Once I have a second system up and running, it'll resume development. Likely slower, but resuming nonetheless.

As for the link itself, I wasn't aware it was down. I'll throw another one up in a few here. Apologies for that.

Edit: Should be working now.

Android wasn't affected by this bug, as far as my testing went. The android version should work fine, as the only difference between this update and the android version are the is bugfix.

I'll see what I can throw together. :)

Not currently, but soon.

Oh, wow. Got a bunch of comments that Itch decided not to notify me of. First and foremost, thank you for the kind words. <3

As for Steam, it's a plan. I'm currently reworking some earlier parts of the VN, specifically renders, for this reason. Aside from just improved render quality, there's some copyrighted content mixed in there (posters, shirts, etc.). Along with Steam being pretty strict with school stuff, which I'm changing to look more college-esque. It should be on there eventually. :)

Thank you for the kind words! :)

Just sort of unrealistic and comes off contrived. It's not being outright removed, just changed in a way that allows character and relationship progression to happen more naturally.

There's some lesbian/girl-on-girl femdom with the (Spoilers for anyone reading ahead) female protagonist and Eden/Lily. There's another girl on girl (female protagonist/Reagan) scene early on that plays with sub/dom tendencies, but will be removed in the next couple of updates.

There will be no female-on-male femdom (technically speaking, at least.).

Sorry about that, meant to come over here and post the new links for the update, but had a work emergency pop up. Will try to get Butler going as well at some point.

First and foremost, thanks! Much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it.

I'm aware of the issue(s). I believe I've got it fixed (appears to have been an oversight on my part.). Will have to go through a couple playthroughs to confirm it, but hopefully it's all good by 0.3. 

I'm aware, some twat seemed to have reported it and it seems I have myself an IP ban of some sort. Trying to get it worked out. Here are some mirrors. :)

Sorry for the late response. Must've missed the notification. :)

That said, I don't really want to give an exact date on when updates come because I probably won't be exact with it. It shouldn't be very long, however. If you'd like to stay updated on it, progress reports are free on Patreon. 

To answer your original question, it is automatic. It switches as the story dictates, though I try to avoid needlessly head-hopping.

Just to clear up something Starset wrote, Luke (the female protagonists ex) is not a character you control, which I admittedly made him seem like by giving him a choice. It could've been better implemented. Aside from the main male and female protagonists, the rest of VN was supposed to take on a third person omniscient POV for the other characters, while the protagonists took on something of a pseudo third-person limited. 

Without spoiling too much, Luke is connected to something revealed at the end of this first release, and thus the female protagonist (Rainn). The choice made with Luke directly affects whether he has a chance to get back together with the female protagonist (player/viewers choice, of course.) or not. The reason maybe be obvious to some.

I felt it was necessary to make the connection early, so I didn't have to infodump on everyone later on. That being said, Luke won't be appearing again for some time as it's currently a side story to the main storyline (but will eventually become one of many conflicts.). Hope that clears everything up for you (and anyone possibly reading.). :)

TL;DR: It is automatic and Luke is not a playable protagonist.

I'm downloading it fine myself. I'm not sure what system you're on, but here's a mediafire link for PC/MAC/Android. Let me know if there's a mirror you'd prefer. :)
