Several people reported issues with the old saves when playing the Alpha version. Some saves won't load, other would load at a different point. I tried making some test, but I don't really know what is causing the issues. For now, if you're experiencing such problems, replaying the game from the beginning (or a working older save) seems to be the only solution.
Many people also missed half the content from the Alpha. Without spoiling anything, the choice during the event with Victor on Day 5, leads to different events later. There's also an event with Heather that depends on what happened during the evening dinner on Day 5. I'll update the walkthrough when the final version of the update is ready.
Speaking of the full update, I'm working hard on it. At the moment I'm not sure if I'll make it for the end of the month, or a week or two later.
I was wondering, do you want to see renders with the characters and outfits I prepare for the upcoming events, or you prefer to see everything in the game? Let me know.
Have fun, and thanks for the support.

It will happen. Not this update though.

I'm hoping for a full parker and jess scene

Yes, please, I'd like to see more renders with characters and outfits.

Take all the time you need. You're putting out quality work so far so I'm sure we'll all keep waiting.

I will not post direct renders from the game, that's just too much. But I often prepare the characters I'd need, and the outfits, so I can post those. I'll share them as external links, with a warning for those who don't want any type of spoilers.

The thing is, it's really hard to tell how much time an update would take. With only about 10 days left of the month, and with the remaining content, it seems very likely that I won't make it. Sometimes I make 5-6 images a day, sometimes just a couple. Same goes for new environments, characters, and outfits - the time it takes is never consistent.

I'm still not 100% sure I'll delay it, but looking at the current pace, and the content remaining, it seems very likely :(

You can find it on the post for the last full update (0.15). <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-0-15-24353203">https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-0-15-24353203</a> I'll add a link for it to the Overview page as well.

I'd never really thought about the effect that previews have, but I suppose it's quite nice to see everything in the game for the first time. I think minimizing deja vu helps with creating a sense of realism and immersion on your first playthrough. On the other hand, using one element at a time reinforces the immersion: for instance, a render of a character or place that is not a full scene from the future is like seeing a post on social media from a friend in unfamiliar places or outfits or company, or going to your favorite bar without seeing anyone you recognize. It's a familiar experience and stimulates your recollection, without prejudicing future experience. I do love updates and I am a sucker for eye candy though, so if you really want to share, don't let me stop you! ;)

So update will be 1 or 2 weeks delayed? The sentence was kinda weird, but that's what I got from it. Also, non-spoilery previews would really help with the wait for future updates. I think it generates a great amount of hype and keeps fans pleased for a little bit :D

I'm good either way. Also nice job on the Jessica art. Excelsior

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I am okay with waiting for the full release – have also held off on checking out the alpha, so when the full update comes out it's sure to be a good time.

I may have missed it, but where is the current walkthrough?

And as for all the requests for "spoiler free", I would suggest still meshing together character and scenes that may or may not be canon. For example, the Secretary and Mayor shot was one of stoper's most popular. Who the fucks knows if that was canon or not? Did it matter? It was a sexy shot in a time when there's a lot of narrative focus and the kink is spread apart by months. I, for one, would like some teases beyond pin-ups. But that's my two-cents. I love this genius' work regardless!!
Dashole
Yes, some shots would whet the appetite for future updates for sure, considering the long waits in between. It will also likely attract and keep new patrons who might feel the drought between updates. Great shot of Jess, BTW! Thanks!!
Julian Harper
Some non spoiler previews would be great :)
Qprime
“Sigh” this update was the highlight of my month, well, if showing some pics will be enough for us to wait till the middle of May, I’m sure some people will appreciate it.
EchartC
Just some lol
Cloud Strife
It would always be nice to see some renders of Jessica, and ones of Rosa I'll just die of happiness:)
Bailey Nelson
Yes, please, I'd like to see some renders
