Update 0.20
🕑 Added 2019-06-03 22:18:58 +0000 UTCAlright, alright, alright. This baby is finally ready. And what a battle it was.
It ends a little abruptly, because I want to add another scene when Jessica gets home. I'm not sure if I'll add it sometime during the month, or just leave it for the next update... we'll see. For now, enjoy it. And make sure you hit me with some feedback, good or bad.
NEWER VERSION AVAILABLE
Last time there was some issue with the saves, no idea what was causing it. If it happens again... well, start a new game and just use Ctrl to fast skip, it takes less than 5 min to scroll through all the content.
EDIT: I added the sound effects and voices, and fixed a couple small issues. You can lower the volume if you don't like any of those from the Preferences.
EDIT 2: Fixed a couple of spelling errors and added an animation to the scene with Heather. I also updated the walkthrough.
EDIT 3: I added a couple of images to end the day properly. The scene I had in mind is moved to the next morning. I also made some structural changes, hopefully that will help with the save incompatibility in the future. Old saves may not work properly though. There is a new folder for the saves, so you can try moving your old files to the new folder, but it'll be better if you start a new game. If you insist on trying the old saves, start this new version to create the save folder, go to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\RenPy and move the files from Hardews-1515778577 to HardNews-1561049325.

For office scenes you can make a choice of 2 scenes of male lead and female lead roles ? And even in the mayor and the reception roles of different choices ?

Try this version, if you want. And let me know if it works. https://mega.nz/#!2s5C1CwD!2yyX6Kk2eRSh3tWq2i-PPxmJeaGq8NM2Opw-800jlLk p.s. While testing it, I had an issue with images not showing after a long skip forward. If it happens to you as well, just scroll back to an image that's visible, save the game, quit, start again, and load the save. The game also crashes when you do long fast forward skips. So if you do it, make sure to save every now and then. That way when it crashes, you don't loose all the skipping.

I had another user reporting the same issue. According to them, the solution could be converting the images. I'll try to do it at the end of the week. Write me a message and I'll send you a link so you can test it.

Yes hi, I'm having trouble with the android build. Whenever I reach the start of day 3 the game stops working. It's like it can't see the images it needs. If I click ignore several times it throws me into the shower scene which plays fine, but then it goes back to the same error screen and no matter how many times I click ignore nothing ever shows up again, it just keeps making it's way down through the day 3 script failing to load one image after another.

than you have no brain matt sorry to say that there is no story anymore only braindead hardcore scenes by elena the story was down after vs 0.8 thats why such games the best for guys like you who want only action and rpg maker games not so bad better ´than most of the renpy games .

I think the pacing with Jessica is good, and it feels natural. There are enough slut games out there where the women just open their legs to anyone, Jess on the other-hand is becoming open but she's also conflicted. I felt the scene in the bathroom was really good, and while I would have loved Jess to have interacted with them it would have been slightly out of character for her.
stoperArt
I see. You can skip quickly with Ctrl, btw. RenPy's skip function is pretty fast and scrolls through the entire content in minutes.

The earlier version - last update.
stoperArt
Thanks, mate.
stoperArt
Damn. What saves are you trying to use? From the Alpha, or earlier version?
Matt Gorman
It could be faster/more sex but still better than a lot. There are ones who have been on more than ONE YEAR with no sex whatsoever (ahem AWAM.) My favorite is still Good Girl Gone Bad but this is a better one.
Matt Gorman
Fuuuccccck! It does need to start from the beginning. Dammit. Back through all the early parts. The early parts in almost all adult games are boring.
Delta
I can see where you're coming from, but Jessica has let others touch her. She's let the older man grind into her, enjoyed being gazed upon during sex with Conor, a Police Officer; in order get more information, let the officer touch her breast, and on more then one occasion she's made out and has been fingered by Heather. And I almost forgot to mention, she gave a handjob to a stranger for information. I don't completely buy she is under morality choices. It's quite obvious she enjoys being/acting slutty and dirty. I don't expect the next update or even three after the initial one for her to be banging all sorts of random dudes, but I do think the relationships she has currently should be explored and acted upon, considering how much she's allowed to happen thus far.

I played through with a new start for this version. The artwork and animations are incredible. In some ways I agree with Delta and Simon, however I think speeding up Jessica's corruption would feel off. I like the pace as it helps show how torn Jess is between her initial morality and her feelings of being dirty. The fact that, in the restroom scene, she thought Heather was a SLUT says a lot in itself. Does Jess want to just tease and experiment innocently, or does she also want to be like Heather? Or will she completely give herself to her carnal side and be the best SLUT ever? Keep up the good work, and follow your own story arc.

@Delta I agree - well articulated. There's a bit too much tease for the Jess cheating that we're feeling a bit frustrated when it's not with a guy. The Heather scenes are hot, but it's been done. Although, stoper has said that Heather acts as a gateway to cheating with men, so I'm looking forward to that.
Simon
Yeah steini we pledge like everybody else where just expressing what we think no need for profanity
stoperArt
Chill, guys. I appreciate all feedback, positive or negative.
Delta
Steini, I wish you would have used valid points to defend your position; instead, you started calling others names and trying to insult them because they offered constructive criticism. I plead you to reread my opinions on the newest update. I hope in the future we can have a civil conversation.
Matt Gorman
Elena's life has a story, but it's that crap RPGmaker. There is a new Renpy version though. It's actually pretty slow for anything happening.
Matt Gorman
I think I'll just wait until tomorrow and have the fixed audio right away, rather than downloading again a day later.
Steini2306
every time again the idiots cry for faster and more content there are enough other brainless games to play for such dumbs.take your time to go forward and let the game not end in a useless game where every secene is a other fuck thats are games for guys like SIMON or Delta. to that both dumbs play elena life or anna or other games without any story.
Simon
I agree with the first comment of course we dont want a rush story because we all have invested time in to playing the game but we wang jess to do more instead of teasing all the time but he is 100% right your renders are amazing i just wish we can see more content kind of uoset know thinking i have to wait a couple of months for the next update but i hope it is jam packed with content
stoperArt
My initial plan was to have Jess join in during that restroom scene. But as I was working on it, it just didn't feel right. There wasn't a proper buildup during the conversation at the table, and Jessica state of mind, so I didn't make it. I understand your frustration with the slow progress, believe me, I feel the same. I'll try to speed things up as much as I can. I'll make a post in the next days with some details about it.
stoperArt
I'll add the audio for the $10 release tomorrow. But I have to render that last scene, so I'll need more time for that.
Delta
stoper, I think you do a fabulous job with your work. I don't understand the work which goes into making these renders but clearly, you're several hundred steps ahead of what other artists do when it comes to them working on similar games. This update did kind of have an abrupt end, and even during the event scenes, I was a little let down considering how well you've been teasing the main character eventually delving into certain acts. I think you're teasing your audience too much and the pay off with each update leaves something to be desired. I usually end up wanting more then what was given because the build-up was so great, and it can leave others feeling frustrated or maybe even cheated in a way. Again, I don't understand the work which goes into this. I stand by what I said before, your work is so much better than others. I hope the further you go, with however long it takes you to release episodes, they become much chunkier in content. I am a little let down that I have to wait several months for another story update which I hope delivers on some of the events you've teased thus far. Having said all this, I have zero plans to unsub from you. You do quality work and I believe you deserve it 100%. I think your character models are top notch and your animations are supreme. I think more content per update and toning down the teasing and just delivering those things to us will definitely work in your benefit. I wish you nothing but the best going forward. You have my support as well as many others. Keep up the good work!
Qprime
Loved it! Looks like you'll be re-releasing update 0.20 with the fixed audio, would it be possible to add the scene when Jessica goes home in the end? Much obliged!
