Money Troubles V0.1 is officially released!

After a lot of testing, bug hunting, and polishing, I'm finally happy to put the first public version of Money Troubles out for everyone to play.

Since this is the demo version, here are a few tips before you jump in:

If you encounter any bugs or error messages, please send me a message here along with the markdown error log. Depending on the issue, I may also ask for your save file so I can investigate it.

For Mac players: I don't currently have access to a Mac for testing, so if you run into any Mac-specific problems, please let me know.

This is only the beginning, and I'm really excited to finally have V0.1 in your hands.

I hope you enjoy Money Troubles!

THE WEBCAM ROUTE

Here's a small teaser from one of the job paths in Money Troubles.

With money running out, one option you can explore with your wife is webcam work.

But the webcam job isn't meant to be a simple "click to work, receive money" system.

HOW IT WORKS

One morning, you open the newspaper on your kitchen island and come across an article about LuxeLive, one of the largest camgirl platforms online.

As the player, you can choose to do a little digging... or leave it alone and look for another way to make money.

If you decide to investigate, you'll eventually meet a specific NPC (no spoilers) who helps guide you through what you'll need and how to get started.

From there, you help your wife set up her streams, establish her boundaries, and decide how far you're comfortable letting things go.

During a stream, viewers actively interact with her through chat, make requests, donate money, and begin pushing for more.

Your choices help determine how those situations play out.

Does she play things safe?  
Do you encourage her to give the viewers what they want?  
And when more money starts getting offered... where do you draw the line?

_______________________________________________________________________________

The webcam route also has its own story and progression outside of the streams, including new equipment, outfits, and escalating opportunities.

What begins as another way to help pay the bills can gradually become something much bigger.

Here's a little look at one of her streams in action.

The Demo Is Almost Here!

Money Troubles is currently in the final stages of getting its first public demo ready.

Right now, most of my time is going into finishing, testing, and fine-tuning the demo before I put it in players' hands.


What's Happening Right Now?

The main focus is on getting everything cleaned up and ready for release:

- Testing and hunting down bugs
- Fine-tuning existing systems and mechanics
- Cleaning up dialogue, scenes, and progression
- Making sure everything flows properly from the beginning
- Finishing the last pieces needed for the public demo

I don't want to rush the demo out just for the sake of having something available. I'd rather spend a little more time polishing it and make sure the first release gives a good impression of what Money Troubles is supposed to become.


What's Next?

Once the demo is ready, it will be available here to **Free Tier members**.

After that, I'll continue posting development updates, screenshots, previews, new content, and whatever I'm currently working on as **Money Troubles** continues to grow.


Thanks for checking out the project this early.

Whether you're just here to follow development or you've decided to support the game, I appreciate you being here at the beginning.

More soon.
