itch.io

Judging from the last Patreon update he managed to get a job as a game developer & from what I've heard from people who've worked for game studios, many studios ban side projects and even when they dont, it often sucks the life out you and leaves no mental energy to do anything other than vegetate when you have free time.

Works on Win 10 for me (and Android 11)

Apparently despite removing or changing all references to school Steam rejected the game and refuses to reconsider.

Considering some of the Japanese & Western games on there their decisions can be extremely arbitrary.

Unfortunately Victor died of cancer late last year, the SimRealist team mentioned something about taking over his mods, but Im not sure if they keep an eye on this page.

There's apparently a TS4 bug involving mod menus, TwistedMaxi has a patch for it in the latest hotfix for Better Exceptions, try that

TY for the quick update

Yeah I don't know what the story and I suspect there's a lot to it, but for a long while, at least since 2019, Deji was the only one working on the project. Last update from her about it was in 2021. I thinks she's given up on it, or had to give up on it. 

If you look under the "Female Protagonist" & "LGBT" tags you'll find a massive amount of free or pay what you want games. Some of them are actually quite good. Like NPCKC or nomnomnami's stuff. But as poison.ivy.maze said, creatives deserve to be paid. So if you see a good pay what you want game, try at least give something.

You can find a refurbished computer for decent prices these days. They are usually 5th or 6th gen i3 or i5 desktops & laptops. While obviously not as powerful as a modern machine they will come with plenty of storage, 64 bit windows or Linux, enough RAM and a graphics card decent enough to play visual novels and older games.

And refurbished android phones are a thing, but seem comparatively more expensive

By the way, thanks for that post about DForce, I found it more useful than most tutorials out there, I'm one of those people who prefer written to video and most are video these days

If youve already paid there should be a bar at the top of the page saying 

"you own this game" and "Download"

If you are using the Itch.io launcher, for some reason it will try to install .10 by default so pay attention to the page that pops up after you instll, click the drop down arrow and choose the latest version. 

Oooh, I was just wondering if any of these stories would ever be available again in any form

ED: My old phone is around somewhere and that should still have the app installed, I only completed a few routes of some of the stories but if its still on there and if I could figure out how to copy it off  the phone would there be anything there that might be of use?

This isnt a Unity game, not sure what engine it uses, but I dont think its Godot either. There's a few Open Source 3D engines out there, and from looking at all the Open Source DLL's linked, its probably one of them

Yes, but you should also encounter her in the graveyard 

Ooh, thanks! I was wondering about this myself. so check in the graveyard, the sewers and the tunnels under the lab, then?

From what I recall you have to go to the inner graveyard to the left, then down into the caverns then down another screen then I or 2 screens off to the right. You get to it from the screen  where you encounter the horny kobold girl and the grumpy goblin (put that ring on before you talk to her, the one that negates healing). You'll probably run into the cat boy and the moth at least 3 times before you get there, though.

DRM tends to inconvenience genuine users more than  pirates. Unless its Denuvo, which pisses off users, pirates, devs, AV makers and Microsoft.  Everyone except publishers.

Also, games playable only online can still get pirated. DFD and others were originally only playable on the creators website and encrypted, but someone still cracked it. And it was a very clunky experience. While their latest game, Shale Hill Secrets, still uses a version of the same engine, its a vastly improved experience.

Or just Parliament

Technical colleges arent the same as tech universities like MIT or the École Centrale Paris. They are like community colleges. You would study stuff like car mechanics, hair dressing, or catering. These days you will find computer courses too, of course.

Thats great to hear, thanks

Steam is big enough to dictate term to the payment processors. Itch.io isnt

They've mentioned several times not until the first part is complete, which will be sometime this year

Probably because the big payment processors, VISA & MasterCard dont like Payoneer and if a company makes any electronic transactions outside of Russia & China they will be working with them. So if they hint heavily at a company they might want to think about their support for Payoneer, they don't have much choice but to drop them.

And crypto wont win, the cryptocoins & cryptocurrency exchanges banks & payment processors will accept & do business with shrinks daily. And crypto exchanges imploding regularly really doesnt help matters.

If you are looking for AVN's that avoid a lot of the AVN tropes like those, then Our Red String and Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story are a great place to start. There's also  Paradise Inc, Rise Of The White Flower, Price of Freedom, The Last Sovereign (also one of the 2 best RPGM games I've played), Starship Inanna, Out of Touch! and Rogschard too.

Probably Window Defender gone haywire, especially as a factory reset fixed the problem. Its a known problem with Defender that Microsoft can't or won't fix. The only permanent fix is to install another anti virus.

Thats sad to hear, but better than flogging a dead horse. I do hope you come up with a new project with a similar sense of humour, though. I really loved it.

For some reason Windows Defender has decided to hate stuff written in Python in general and RenPy in particular. 

The pricing of this game is confusing and has become more confusing over time. The dev should work for Oracle's licencing department. 

Thanks!

The first graveyard fight you need to talk to her to find you need to learn chitterspeech. Its hard to win but no big deal to lose.  2nd after learning it is mostly talking, IIRC. Always try talking to the bosses.

Hi, at the moment Im totally lost in the Orcmin Labs, cant figure out how to open all the doors, checked in the 2nd floor and basement and looked at the Wiki, which doesnt seem to match the actual layout. Any tips?

ABO? Is that Omegaverse related? Can see how that could make someone who doesnt like that reaally uncomfortable

Android 6 is ancient, Its possible that the engine doesnt support it. IIRC the game uses some form of Twine

Awesome that you are consolidating all the games into one. Are you still using RPGM? I've always thought the games were the one of best uses of RPGM I've seen, despite or especially because they are visual novels, not JRPGs.

I will be slinging some money your way for when yous start charging for the complete version

Couple questions. First do saves continue over from Chapter to Chapter & if not will you ever release a version combining all 5 chapters?

Also like the look of the characters, will they ever appear in a future game. And finally do you think you might revisit As Above So Below, I really liked the demo for it.

Hi, was just checking if this worked in the Itch app. Anyway I see that in the app there are 3 packages available, the assets and html downloadable from the web page and a zip file containing both which seems to be meant for the app. But for some reason the app by default installs the assets zip when you press the install button not the other zip, which is rather confusing. Might want to have a look at that.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, dont want to lose my save if i have to clear my cache.

Is it just the relationship with dom (or sub) Mason thats exclusive, or are all the romance paths exclusive? Really enjoying this game so far, BTW

Just noticed, in the web browser version in firefox on an android phone there doesnt seem to be a way to save locally. Is this a android thing, a bug or Firefox weirdness?
