The next update is 0.10, not 1.0, and it won't be the last.
Mathmatically speaking, isn't 0.10 lower than 0.9? Hahaha

I tried the game for the first time and i really liked it, there isn't many games with a decent story and content and graphics and to be honest i decided to become a donator just to help the dev a tiny bit but then i checked his patreon page and i checked last 3 release dates (0.8, 0.9a and 0.9 steam version) and i realized there was like 7 months in between those release dates. Tbh i think 7 months between releases is a very long waiting time especially when i consider the updates are not very big (mb/gb wise) and the difference between 0.9a and 0.9 steam version is very slim (content wise) i decided not to. Now i didn't type all this stuff to criticize or anything like that, i genuinely liked the game and i wanted to express my only discontent about it. I saw the same pattern in other good games (good games but very slow updates for example a wife and a mother) the problem is , most developers want to reach to a bigger audience/player base but when there is such a huge time gap between patches only the most dedicated fans will remain loyal and majority will lose interest over time and as they lose interest -> the dev will get less support and he will also lose interest/will to develop the game faster etc. So i believe if he spends a lilttle bit less time thinking about very tiny details in the story and/or posing and stuff and focus a little bit more on delivering the episodes faster both the dev and most of the players /subs (you can never please everybody) will be happier. I know , i'd sub his patreon if he'd deliver more episodes each year... nothing crazy i'd probably sub for 10£ but i think some other ppl would do so aswell.
If you read some earliers posts, you'll see that there wasn't much content added because he was busy getting things ready for Steam release, and he paused payments on some periods he wasn't working on it.
And if you buy the game on Steam or Itch.io, you'll have the updates without having to spend more, and also he give the games for those whose total money spent on Patreon surpasses the game price.

I've discussed with him a few times about doing smaller, but more frequent, releases. The idea is not off the table.

The problem is that the ree-rees will piss and moan regardless. They will expect the same amount of content he puts out in 6 months in a 3 month window, for example. I've seen it happen to other devs who gave it a try. I still think the smaller, more frequent, release cycle is the way to go, though. People who want to wait to download until there's substantial content can do so, while everyone else can play sooner.
I don't mind waiting more for more content, the only thing that annoys me is having updates for specific routes only.
When I see there have been an update, I get very excited to play, only to see my prefered path have no new content. :cry:
But this is a personal opinion, don't know if anyone shares it. Hahaha

lol yes, but software/VN versions aren't math. There are various versioning schemes developers use. TTrick increases the number as if counting from 1 to 100 (or higher). So, next we'll have 0.10, then 0.11, 0.12, and so on.

I know, but it's understandable that people get confused.
It would be easier if this version was 0.09. Hahaha

For everyone that looks for working Gallery Unlock for 0.9 Final, i remind you about mine approach. You will probably not find same hash as i attached (game was rebuilt multiple times since then), but feel free to use second part of post, where it is explained how to DIY unlocker.

Gallery Unlock for 0.9 [FULL]

  • How to apply:
Replace existing file in [LongStoryShortDirectory]/resources/app/dist/static/js
where [LongStoryShortDirectory] can be found like in screenshot below (Browse local files option) if game is installed from Steam

View attachment 4167162

or [LongStoryShortDirectory] is just a game directory (where .exe/.app is placed) if it is NOT a Steam Release

  • How to fix it yourself when game gets an update:
Open freshly updated main.[someHash].chunk.js file in the same directory as described above in any Code/Text editor and REPLACE ALL OCCURANCES of seen:false to seen:true.

  • Why should it be fixed in future releases?
Because [someHash] is a brand new one every time game is built/compiled again.

Your attached file works for the v0.9 at the top of the thread (y)

How many people work on a game like this, also, huge respect to the Ren'py dev for making a version based on it!


This game is weirdly one of my faves. I say weirdly as the girls are all same age, with no milf action to speak of.
Also, love how Ann is the least classically attractive girl, but gets to enjoy herself in plenty of scenes.

So, I wouldn't call this a walkthrough, as many of these may be out of order. Maybe more of a choice guide. When you come across choices in the game, look them up here to see what they do. Some of these are obvious what they will do. I've left out even more obvious ones, like letting Chris get Ann's number.

Anyway, if you want to know how to reach a specific question, I can probably figure it out. Just ask. If you come across something that's not in here, but think it should be, let me know.

Updated to version: 0.8 Alpha

Hopefully the VN continues long enough, the version number is deceiving, and there are a LOT of things left to explore with each and every character, and why not? Maybe include one or two new women on the long run, TTrick has an amazing style and the more the merrier!

The only thing I dont understand ( i see this quit often) if you are a dev and you know your limitations ?? Why adding more and more people and path instead of focus on main story of ann or whatever.....

I see this often which devs who have limitations but thna have like 10 love interest inatead 1 or 2 ....

Or they start add more and more cheracters.... which they cant develop...

Your main distribution channel is the "latest updates" tab on f95. If your game appears there too often with disappointing amounts of content, that fosters a ton of resentment. You won't see it in comments, but it's there.

some of that may be true, but you gotta understand, many devs do this as a passion project. They have their jobs, their families, whatever. They do this in the little free time they have. Most of them can't make a living out of it. We get what we get, especially here, where it's free.
Indeed, beggars can't be choosers. Sure I personally want more frequent updates as well, but you can't always get what you want. Especially if what you want isn't realistic. I'm willing to wait either way. This kind of feels the same with some authors on webnovel who write the novel also as a passion project. One author in particular, he even wrote some chapters while doing his bacholor's or master's degree in uni. Sometimes he doesn't write because he's too busy. I may not like that but I'm not gonna complain that he should write more, no I wish for him to succeed so that I can read more eventually =P

I don't think having 5 LIs is all that much. This game would be so boring if it only focused on Bobblehead and Slutnessa. The problem is the distribution of content between them had heavily favored those too. Any other girl in the game is plot advancement, I suppose, and offers content for non-NTR players. Amber with Mario. Angela with Grandpa. Ivy as an alternative to whatever Ann would be doing with guys while on campus. There will probably be more side chicks (hopefully hot ones) that Chris will offer for the sharing deal. Those won't make much a difference because they're one or two-offs.

As far as branches... yeah... We have Vanessa, Vanessa (with blackmail, which is thankfully closed off now), Vanessa/Joe Rival, Ann non-corruption, Ann corruption, and Ann Hate. Three routes dedicated specifically for bobblehead is a bit much. I've told him as much, but I would have not even done a full Ann hate route. It would just be where she shows up as a friend, but no extra scenes with her slutting around with other guys. I see the value in Joe rival where he could NTR MC, but it's not very well utilized so far.

However, if looking at long-term, it's nice to have multiple routes where people can replay and enjoy the game in different ways.

I don't think most sensible people would complain about 3-4 times per year.

aye the branching can be a bit much, not enough time to satisfy everyone with the content they want. I like most of it, different situations and perspectives, all good. But I have my favorite routes and wouldn't mind seeing more of them. Like you said, the Ann hate one is one of those that I play, but not a huge fan of it. Replay value is a good point. What I wouldn't mind is an easier system to get on the path you want, not easy to figure that out blind, especially for a first time player. Even I had to fuck around a bit until I managed to sort them out.

By the way, what sets up joe rival? If you cuck him with slutnessa instead of having a threesom? And whats the sharing deal? I've seen Chris the last time when he distributed Backdoor Merry...
