Notes

  • This hotfix mainly addresses a pair of game-breaking bugs from v0.3.1.1, but also a few other minor things. There is no new content.
  • Starting with this version, the MacOS builds will be compressed with the executable attribute already set.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where using Open Map, Teleport to MC Bedroom, or Fast Sleep actions while viewing certain closeups could freeze MC, making him not able to move.
  • Fixed the long-reported, but newly understood forever hourglass bug when rapidly taking wine from the dining room cabinet.
  • Using the Rest button in the Kitchen and in Brooke's room now gives a "You can't rest here" message instead of doing nothing.
  • Fixed Meredith's hand overlapping MC's thigh in the BJ scene (graphical issue)
  • Fixed several issues with Dirty Talk during Meredith's POV BJ scene.
  • Fixed several typos.

Yo. Got around to playing it and... we got some problems. Some of this may be due to having re-installed Windows 10 after getting hacked but a few things are bugs. Some of which I'm surprised haven't been reported. I'll start with a handful of things I've noticed.

First things first, you cannot change the resolution of the game especially during windowed mode. It causes the bottom part of the screen where text sometimes appears there getting cut off. Because of this things load slowly or improperly like the door being open or closed with one or the other being stuck with that visual. I went from having the door always closed to now always appearing to be open with the animation no longer playing properly. 

Audio bug: When all audio sliders are muted (or as low as it can go) the zipper sound effect used for Irene's scene is still heard. The same applies to when Meredith provides her reward for helping pay off the bank, her moans can be heard still in spite of the SFX being muted/lowest.

Softlock: When asking Meredith for a kissing lesson, attempting to hug her after asking will cause a hug to occur but never finish leaving a soft lock (unsure if due to low performance). The time it occurred was after one day of handing over the money to pay off the mortgage.  I had talked to Lucy just before she "vanished" after being comfortable with the fact she was a ghost. Not sure if replicable under the mentioned conditions.

That's about all I can report for now. The new stuff is quite nice and makes me look forward to what comes next. I also like how the Spank Bank was updated in a way that was less cluttered from the previous. However, performance though I am unsure if it is my fault or something to do with the game's resolution I hope gets remedied with the next update. (I had it on the lowest setting which didn't do much by comparison)

I will look into these. I don't have numbers to back this up, but I think most players don't truly play the game. They just follow a walkthrough or load from someone else's saved game and therefore they run a well-trafficked, optimal path through the game and never risk encountering any "off the beaten path" bugs. The remaining minority of players that truly play the game, a large chunk of them encounter bugs and then either find a way to work around them or otherwise don't report them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is "Thank You for being one of the rare players that actually plays the game and also reports issues that they find!"

Oh yeah that's right almost forgot. After writing up the feedback, I was a bit surprised to hear the moaning during a few scenes still being heard at roughly 50% or so audio. These scenes were to memory at least: Bonus Meredith and Brooke. Dirty talk II as far as I've played with it, hasn't really made much of an impact on decisions made during interactions. Though I suppose I will have to wait for the next update to do some more testing since there aren't really a whole lot to put into practice. And man, I appreciate the level of work put into the dialogue because it makes the characters both endearing and grounded in their respective time periods. What caught me off guard were the tits I could grab from the wall. The only scene I couldn't find from various attempts was Brooke changing. Had found her on the phone and in the shower but never changing.

I'm more than happy to help find these sorts of issues. While I don't think I'll have a lot of time next year to continue aiding and providing feedback for future updates. I will play then when the opportunity arises. The one thing I had to remember when playing it again after not having access to it for a month was how to fix the toilet. I figured it out pretty quickly once I checked the guide which makes sense if I'm honest. Though hopefully the tools available get more use and opportunity to be used.

I look forward to the next update and I hope your Christmas and New Years will be cheerful. I wish you a Merry Christmas and to a Happy New Year. Best of luck Jorogr, I'll keep you posted whenever I get the privillage to play your next build. Peace.

Dirty Talk is imagined as a stand-in for a Confidence stat. The idea is that the higher the Dirty Talk, MC will go from a timid, "dead fish" lover to having the confidence to saying dirty things to his partners that causes them to say equally dirty things back to him in response (which is where the true value lies, imo). As is, the skill is underdeveloped and only implemented in a couple of scenes [Meredith BJ, Meredith Titjob, Lucy Cowgirl].

Of note is that Dirty Talk II is required if you want to give Lucy an orgasm during her scene. Each girl will have a "trick" to give them an orgasm. 

I've had limited success recreating the sounds when sliders are off. I notice it happens when opening up the Quest Journal, you hear the Velcro scratch sometimes, but not always. I suspect this is going to be a difficult one to isolate and fix.

Belated Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year! I hope you have a wonderful 2023!

Merry Christmas dude, I am glad to have been able to help you figure this stuff out.  Happy New Year, and thank you for expanding on Dirty Talk. I look forward to what you'll be able to pull off next year.
