0.08 Follow up post and short FAQ! (Patreon)

First of all, I'm shocked to receive so many loving, kind and awesome "welcome back"s from you guys!

The last couple days were crazy and emotional. It's good to finally do the one thing I love again and I'm also happy that I'm feeling confident enough to go public.

I'm feeling much better and most importantly I am more aware of what's going on with me as a person.

Since my timing is quite funny (April fools + Corona Virus), there are some folks out there wondering if this comeback is real or just a result of the pandemic.

I totally see where those people are coming from and I can happily say:  No, I didn't came back because of the Virus.

I actually worked on 0.08 and implemented all those features (complete game re-coding, qlog with hints, gallery function etc., *don't forget coding isn't my strength*) way before the whole virus even was a thing.

By doing all that, I did improve on coding a little, at least in terms of keeping things overlook-able for myself.

For now, I compiled a short FAQ to hopefully answer as many question as I can, if you guys have any questions besides these, write them in the comment section down below and I try my best to answer them.

Q: In the changelog you mentioned that you removed quite a few choices, does that mean we have less content now?

A: I removed mostly choices that were complicating the whole game or didn't make much sense.  Here is an example:

Imagine you are on the Amy love path, but you chose the Carol movie in the first movie-night. What happens is that you would have essentially missed out on that Amy scene which would have complicated future interactions with here.

The game now needs to be aware of a scenario where you watched or didn't watch a movie together (which had an impact on the progress on Amy) and I have to write different dialogue.

Looking at how many paths there are already in the game, this could cause way too much variety within every path. So I decided to streamline things and let you directly (in this case), choose the movie with Amy so you progress normally.

Q: I have trouble unlocking several Gallery entries even though I went for a certain path with a character. What's wrong?

A: The way how paths work in LaS is that they can be excluding. Every character has a SOLO path and this sometimes requires you to dedicate to this person only. 

For example, Carol Love solo requires you to not interact with Amy, since once you show LOVE interest to Carol and Amy at the same time, the game will start the FFM path, which is where the MC is on path with both Amy and Carol in a threesome way. 

The same applies to the Baron girls, where showing interest in both, triggers a threesome scenario. (With that being said I have noticed a few bugs where you can be stuck with a character even after just giving a compliment and I am fixing this as we speak).

For now make sure to only focus on one character per household. Different Path styles on the other do not interfere. E.g. Amy Love and Carol Voyeur work at the same time.

Q: I see that the Tier rewards are subject to change, what does that mean?

A: I have plans to rework rewards for the current Tiers and will go more into detail in another post!

Q: Saves of 0.07 and older aren't working. How about 0.08 saves?

A: Having players to start a new save-file is something I never really wanted to do. Unfortunately so far I didn't had the coding confidence or structure to keep things compatible (I'm a coding newb!). But this time I am super confident that Saves are going to compatible. I'm not making promises here (learnt from the past) but I can say with confidence that it's very likely that you will never have to start from scratch again!

Q: So when is the next update?

A: I'm already preparing works and will go more into detail in another post, on what to expect in the future update and generally how things are going to change around here!

Q: Will you keep us updated?

A: Yes! Even though it's really weird to post here again (absolutely not used to it anymore), I will focus on posting on here frequently and regularly (I believe both mean the same but you get the point)!

Again if you have any other questions or questions about a question in here (hehe), write them down below!

Also, wash your hands and don't touch your faces!

Cheers, Veq!
