New update on Itch.io, link is above.  It's small, but it's what I could do over the weekend.  As stated on Itch, I plan to stop posting there until the game is closer to done.

I'm the last person standing on this project, so updates are all on me for now.  Thanks for supporting the effort, I plan to keep working on it, but I wont be posting another update until the main quest is complete and actually playable...  right now its a mess.

Thanks

Update coming after this weekend.  Fixed a few things, shrunk the DL file, fixed the spa sequence and you should be able to push out from there.  

There are still problems with the day/date not shifting correctly and or getting overlap when you advance time (screen says its both evening and night... very annoying).  There are also dead ends that still need work, so we marked them as under construction, so you know your system didn't hang or the game didn't crash when you hit them.

Thanks for sticking with us as we build this thing :)

Good(ish?) news!

There is an update on the Itch.io site, has some of the animations running.  Still stuck on Sunday and the spa day is not working, but we are getting there.

The good news is that I am going to have a lot more time to work on this pretty soon!  So we should have some updates coming a lot more quickly.

Bad news is that it's because I found out yesterday that my job is going away.  Lot of fun right?  I have been spending the weekend calling in favors to find new work, so I should be fine.

Noticing a bad trend with the new images...  they look like shit.  I tried to speed things up by rendering them at 720X405, but you can see the results.  I'll send them back out to be re-rendered in HD,  I'll swap them out when they get done.  Also going to take a few days just to work on the story.  Work IRL has been keeping me away from working on this project, but I'm going to finish this if it kills me!​

I have to travel for work again next week, but I'm going to try and get some work done on TF while I'm away.  Apologies for not getting more done!

So much more to do, but you can take a look if you'd like.  UI is in, several destinations are working.

*DO NOT TRY TO USE THE CELL PHONE*  It will lock the game...  fun times right?

Play testing right now, has some bugs.  We plan to release it anyway just so you can see some of the progress.  It may be tomorrow afternoon, we are clearing some dead links and they take forever to root out.

Whats in it:

UI is up 

Main map is up

Links to most areas working (edit-  Some areas*)

Main quests are in, but limited

Side quests have starters, but no detail

New art

New characters

Very short UI tutorial 

We were shooting for the first animation, but don't think it will make it in...  maybe by the end of the week. (Edit - First animation is in and frankly, I think it looks great...  but the quest to get to it is screwed up.  These are a priority after the rest of the locations are fixed and the quest FSMs are actually working (they should be...  not sure why they are breaking right now!)

Working to get the next update by Sunday!!  Very exited to have it moving out, made a lot of progress.  Somethings are still kinda ugly,we have delayed looking at some of the fancier details to move all the big things forward and it is working very well.

Also - extremely exiting news!  We got a new PC to manage animations and it is taking a huge load off of our team (who are using laptops and older systems that take FOREVER to do even 1 animation.  So the update after this will be focused exclusively on adding the animations to the game.  

What the heck?!?  What are they up to over there??

Never know who may be watching...

The Gym
Staying fit is important!

Daisy - The Hygenist.
Daisy works for Dr. Jackson's partner, Dr. Kim.  

Amy - The best friend

If you've played the intro, you've already met Amy...  and know she can get you into trouble if you are not careful!

Amara - The Librarian

Amara is a shy, bookish introvert that has been working in the local library for most of her adult life.  She's also the shortest adult character in the game

Because of the delays, and after a request on Itch.io, We've decided to push out some of the art so you can see a little bit of what we are working on.  Thanks for your patience!!

It's been a tough month, but we are still working.  Our planned update did not go as expected.  We have a couple folks working this weekend to try to move it out.  We finally scrapped some of the old systems (we may revisit them in the future) so that we could break free from our current bottleneck.  Apologies for the delays!

Well, we didn't make it.  Still working on the latest update.  This update is pretty big and has more moving parts than we expected.  We are still having a problem with clickable objects in the he game and have been moving to menu type selections as s stop gap while we sort out the issue with why the clickable just don't work.

What to expect:  You can actually (finally) explore the town, go and see the different locations and meet more of the cast.  You will progress your lawsuit and either do your own investigation or work with your private investigator to move things along (depending on your choices).  You will also progress your story with Amy and meet a few new and interesting friends along that path.

Sorry for the delay, we are getting there!

Just a quick update:  It's been a slow week, but we have fixed a number of the scenes that were transitioned and broken in the move from Unity.  As you saw from the last update, the UI is up and working, with the time/date and "frisky" meter on line.  We are still having issues with the Drunk meter, but we will figure out why it's note functioning eventually.

This week we are focusing on parts 3 and 4 of the story and connecting them together with the current version.  That should open up about the first 2 weeks of game play.  We are targeting June 1 for the next real update.  A couple of our contributors have been tied up on other projects, but if I'm lucky I can get some content from them and the next update will be a huge improvement over the basic intro that you have now.

Couple screen grabs of the UI after you complete the intro dialog.  We got some help fixing a couple of issues that were not letting us have the main map and date/time systems report and run correctly, but it looks like they are working now!

Still working out an issue with clickables - something that you'd think was super basic, but right now the game pauses and makes you hit enter to get to clickables - which is just not functional.  Once we fix it we'll be making another update.

Thanks again!

Running a poll over on the Patreon site.  No clue how to do that here, so I'll drop a link.  No need to sub, it's a public poll.  Let me know your thoughts on sound effects and music.

Dev update is out - Don't bother with it if you are looking for a complete game.  It just has some of the fixes we were able to make.

More to come!

We missed last week, but have been working all week to get a fix out.  Schedules have been working against us but we have made some progress.  I am going to push out an testing update tomorrow, just so you can see what we've fixed.

Some of the fixes:

- Corrected hangup of shower scene

- Fixed the intro to Amy's Quest

- Fixed time/day and money UI issues

- Partial fix to main map - still having game breaking issues, but working on it!

- Fixed corruption FSM, but UI is still not functioning correctly (so you can't see your corruption level as you progress).  May replace this completely, but right now we are trying to make it work.

I am going to be working on this for most of the day tomorrow and releasing an update tomorrow night.  Will post the update on Itch.io with links here.

Thanks again!

Well, we were testing yesterdays release and when we got tot he godforsaken shower scene it STILL FREAKIN' FROZE.  So we had to blow out a huge chunk of the variables to unlock it.  The result is that you will be able to progress, the bad news is that some of the options had to come out.  

Don't worry, nothing good was dropped - but for now the early access will just be the "corrupt" story.  Once we fix it we will add the other threads back in.

Thanks for you patience!

New update scheduled for tomorrow, fixed some of the problems we were having with variables not functioning and locking up the story.  Will pin the update here.
