v0.11.0 Release Date Announcement!

Indeed it is! I'm tidying up a few things now and making a few last minute additions, then I'll be uploading it and putting out all of the normal announcements. Expect it to be live in 6 hours.

Vren

Is 0.11 still coming about today?

I've just gotten into your game and I gotta say you did it right. It doesn't feel excessively grindy and there are not many wasted times. Bravo!

These errors happened at the end of the game from 509-513 when talking to Nora just before she normally has you fill out the paperwork. It then jumps to the sister pregnant, I'm guessing skipping the mother being pregnant as it stated she was pregnant at the end but I didn't see any scene with her being pregnant. [code] I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

True, that's why I just ? Instead of a complaint.. to see what was up as from my perspective we were way past it :)

"The night of" isn't pretty vague, it's as vague as being a 24 hour window world wide. Where does Vren live verses where do you even live Ed Jeers. If Vren lives on the eastern side of the planet than yes he is most likely late from his perspective, but if he lives on the western side of the planet he still has plenty of time even though its been past the four hours since he said ABOUT, key word meaning an estimation or most likely but not definitely, four hours. Ed Jeers do you by any chance do any programming? If not you are probably unaware of how much can go wrong in four days of coding. I may not like it when an author is wrong about posting time but I do understand it, Its better to be a little late in posting and have fixed a major bug than to post on time and have an unplayable game.

Yes Scott that is the logical thing to do however, all of these people complaining because as in RL they now have consequences to their actions aren't using any logic. Vren stated exactly how the pregnancy system works. One must cum inside of a girl 100 times to get them pregnant, unlike RL as there is no fixed amount. That is equal to a little more than once per day. A girl must be around 60-70 corruption I think in order to have sex with her. That takes about 15-20 days leaving about 100-105 days to even get a girl pregnant. So lets face the fact that means you would have to giver the girl full focus of having vaginal sex with her and cumming inside her for the entire length of the game, w/o turning off birth control, or turning her into a public slut for about probably half the time, as I don't know the formula that Vren is using to figure that out. And yet most of the girls you don't see on a daily basis, except for the family and even then I have never seen the family every day within the game, even when I have tried. From the sounds of it Vren has made it very challenging to get pregnant but most of the people posting on here are complaining that they may accidentally get a girl pregnant. Yet all of these people simply can avoid the issue by as you said pulling out, unlike RL. All of this said is there any reason to complain on this site because Vren finally has done what most authors seem afraid to do. I for one give kudos to Vren for adding in pregnancies as now I have a reason to have sex with a girl more than once.

Thanks for the update, can't wait for this release :D

Ed Jeers

I'll admit, I'm cheating a little and staying up late to do a few more last minute tests to make sure nothing is too broken. The release should be up and ready to go in about four hours.

Vren

"The night of sept 8" is pretty vague but wherever you are located I am pretty sure we're past it :P

Ed Jeers

?

Don't want to knock them up, choose not to cum inside. Works the same way as RL, except that in RL you still might knock 'em up even when pulling out. To me, saying it isn't clear enough would be akin to explaining to your player how to choose a dialogue option (really - you just click on it). The only people who may not clearly understand how pregnancy works are too young to be playing this game.

Scott Snelling

Let's all bitch about those people.

Dubsington

Perhaps you could put an option in the options section to enable/disable pregnancies and change it to a percent chance of getting pregnant. This way it would make it easier for people that want it but prevent any chance for those that seem to dislike the idea, seeing as people can't seem to read your previous posts where you clearly stated how it works.

Be careful what you wish for, there are those in the world who complain just to complain. :P

Perversity

Never! Complaints are how I know people care!

Vren

Gotcha. Sounds totally manageable. I'll stop complaining :)

Dubsington

It's not a probability, I've specifically designed that way to avoid forcing it on people. It's a threshold, if passed the girls are considered pregnant. So if you built up 99/100, nothing special happens. If it turns out to actually be a problem once this version is live I'll revisit the issue, but I think everything is going to work out fine :)

Vren

If it's easy to avoid, we're good. Is the 100 a minimum, or does it represent a probability? (In other worlds, are the girls able to get pregnant at 99?) It has sounded like the intent is squarely to make it possible even if players don't want it, though, and the only way to reliably avoid it is to not enjoy some of the best content. Doesn't really matter though, we'll all know for sure in a few days. I'm looking forward to it.

Dubsington

Indeed it is! Ignoring the different endings (which would require 4 different playthroughs to see them all if you were clever abut it) there are now three different training paths and a whole lot of variation in the various scenes depending on a girls influence score. The game certainly wasn't designed to be finished completely after a single playthrough.

Vren

>forcing players I find it hard to imagine you are going to get to 100 pts in 120 days with any of the characters without enabling cum-slut, public, and disabling BC. Seems easy enough to avoid, don't CP Lilly 100 times.

Blackhalo

too many content to explore in 120 days

Still hoping you will reconsider and make the birth control a hard stop. It's awesome to have fetish options, but I don't see how the game is better by forcing players into a probability of one they don't want. Other than that, I'm pretty psyched about the update-- sounds like it will be fun.
