Added a way to repeat an earlier scene for Bridgette.

Public 0.6.3 Patch Notes
Features:
Added Gallery Hints - Locked items will give you a hint on what to do in order to unlock that item. Locked items for a higher version of the game will show what version they are available in.
Changes:
Changed the way the Gallery items are counted, Only items accessible in your current version will be tracked for the total count, so that you know when you've completed that version's gallery.
Establishing shots which do not feature any characters are no longer included in the Gallery. They're helpful for storytelling but are just padding for an already sizeable gallery.
Fixes:
Fixed an issue where character states were not reset when loading a save from within Dialogue, which could cause events that happened before you loaded a file to fire on the next conversation.
Fixed an issue where I forgot how a 24 hour clock works and put 11 instead of 23 for 11pm. "The night is cool" was happening in the middle of the day as a result, yeesh!
Fixed an issue where duplicate files were included for Gallery items, but only displayed once, leading to an incorrect Gallery item count.
Fixed an issue where choices were not appropriately translated when translated options existed.
Fixed an issue where translated names/titles were not being translated, and instead were being added to the spoken text box.
Fixed an issue where localization wasn't applying to locations, character profiles, and hints.
Fixed an issue where localization wasn't applying to menu items due to extra whitespace characters in some fields.
Fixed several typos.
Private 0.6.2 Patch Notes
Localization and Language Packs:
The Localization System and Language Packs have been added.
You can download the English pack on the main page and apply changes to it.
The included ReadMe file will inform how to edit the text to build dialogue for your preferred language.
To load a pack go into the setting menu in-game and click the folder button to navigate to the languages folder. Put the language pack here.
Android users will need to connect to a PC or use a file manager to put the pack into the correct location.
The Languages folder is found in the same location as your save files, putting a valid pack in there will allow it to appear in the game.
Use the refresh button if this is done while the game is running to refresh the list of packs.
If a pack doesn't appear, check the manifest.txt to ensure changes were properly made.
Fixes:
Fixed an issue where deleting saves and then making new saves would prioritize save number over write time for sorting.
Fixed an issue where AutoSaves and QuickSaves were chosen for "Continue" at the main menu. Those files should be selected manually to be loaded.
Fixed an issue where returning to main menu could result in characters being shown in the menu.
Fixed an issue that prevented variables from being reset when returning to the main menu.
Fixed a section where Lilly's profile was applied to Gigi's profile. You'll need to update Gigi's and Lilly's profiles through gameplay for this fix to apply if it is already incorrect for you.
Fixed an issue where part of Summer's dialogue was improperly routed.
Fixed some typos.

Not getting the prompt for project participation after meeting Melony. Is there some other trigger?
Nope, once you meet Melony the flag that allows you to ask Bridgette about it is set. What is it that you're currently seeing? Does "Project Participation" not come up as an option?
Bridgette is never in the office. Sometimes she's at the bar and sometimes she's just gone and Mel and Sammy don't have their "where's Bridgette" option.
Gotcha, I found an edge case that can cause that to happen, Bridgette not being there at all was the key to figuring that one out. We'll have a patch out later today.
Hey, just wanted to comment the following: Thank you for making the protagonist someone I can genuinely root for. Sauve, charismatic, good everyman. A real keeper.
Now I may have a soft spot for Bond, for the Nathan Ford bad boys, and so on. But this character's nice. He's also not a push over, which is another archetype I dislike, firm when needed, funny when needed. Good dialogue, good job. 5 stars. Hope you get lots of support!
I had to approve this comment (no idea why), so sorry for the late reply, but: Thank you! This is my first big writing project (ever) and I appreciate it greatly!
What kind of artist are you looking for? I'm a furry NSFW artist, but I don't think my level of skill matches what I've seen from the game. Thought I'd ask just in case.
Any kind really, Project T.H.R.U.S.T is wrapping up in 6 months or so, but we have other projects in mind going forward and we'd love to have an actual artist working with us, and we can start on the next game early as well. What's the best way to get in touch with you for a longer convo?
how do you start with lilly?
Her content is part of 0.7.0 which is currently in testing, so you'll have to keep an eye out for the next public release. Alternatively you can join our patreon to become a tester and help us find problems (while also seeing the latest ladies! )
what file(s) would I need to transfer over to keep my save files?
The new update won't install for it says package failed this is the first time I had this issue
You may need to uninstall older versions if they're present or restart your device.
Unfortunately, uninstalling will remove the saves, so it's suggested to connect your phone to your PC to or use a file explorer app to make a backup.
This issue should be resolved in future versions as we have finalized the appropriate APK settings in Unity but any change there, even necessary ones, kind of screw up the package update process. That system won't change going forward (we hope).
Is the faucet puzzle bugged? It says "its closed" no matter what I do.

No saldrá una actualización con más idiomas? Cómo en español o portugués?
Esperemos que la versión 0.8.0 incluya el sistema de localización que permitirá el uso de paquetes de idiomas creados por la comunidad. (Traducido con Google; disculpen si es difícil de leer).
0.8.0 will hopefully have the localization system which will allow for language packs created by the community. (Translated with Google, sorry if this is hard to read).
i cant seem to be able to progress physical therapy, every time i head over no matter the day of the week or time i can only ever tell Nerina that im "just stopping by". is this a bug or am i missing something? and once im free to 'fool around' with the other characters does that mean there isnt anything else to do with them story wise? and am supposed to not be able to progress anything with Lilly? i know thats a lot of questions but i feel like the game has come to a standstill with nothing to progress.
Hi!
Nerina and Summer's content is in 0.6.0. What version are you running?
Lilly and Mercedes' content is coming in 0.7.0.
Our patreon page has details on the progress for that if you're interested.
I stuck on moment when i have to search clues with UV light but i only found 2 in lab and 2 in storage, there's nothing more. And another problem that Bridgette's office is too dark in UV mode, but left and right corners are just toned. Version 0.5.5
Same, 6.1 for me though
Clues are in the Lab and the Store room only. Make sure to check every surface, including floors!
what file do i need to move to keep my saves?
The saves should be at /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/Game Name/files for Android. You should be able to back those up.
Doesn't let me update the game to 0.5.5 on Android for some reason. Is there a way to copy the save so I don't lose progress from a fresh install? Great stuff btw.
I believe the path is currently default so the saves should be at /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/Game Name/files
You should be able to copy what's in there and then put the saves back in when you uninstall/reinstall the new version, but I admit I didn't have much luck trying to do it on my device. You might need a specific app to see it.
I'll also mention that 0.5.5 is the first version to have the appropriate Android keystore configured so you shouldn't need to manually back up your saves in the future.
Thanks for your patience!
I managed to access the data folder using mtmanager and copied the save without a problem, thanks!!
In 5.5 the mobile app is to large for the screen and tne sides are cut off
Do you mean the sides are blocked or do you see black bars to the sides? What model do you have? What is your screen resolution?
I'm trying to ensure it works for all resolutions wider than 16:9 but it depends on the device.
This game was already pretty high on my list, but the lewd story scene with Dana kinda skyrocketed it up to the top, or very nearly the top.
Thanks! We hope you like the coming updates =)
If I didn't seem to get to Summer route in my save + there's a bunch of art in the gallery missing. Do I need to create a whole new save just to unlock those? (My game seems to be "stuck" so there's no new missions or dialogues)
Summer's in 0.6.0 so check your version. If you're on 0.6.0 and you're past the prologue, you'll need to start Sammy's route in order to meet her.
Ok, thanks for the help! Is this the same situation for the shark girl (I forgot her name)? So far there was only one interaction with her.
Yes, she is also part of the 0.6.0 update
Two bugs I found on 4.31,
1. sleeping after midnight sends you to the day after
(Ex: go to sleep fri@12, wake up Sun@7)
2. game freezes when Emma comes to talk to you after you have been working with the sequencer for some time.
Also, some of the areas do not have a nighttime background.
Just a bunch of ai slop, probably written by it too. Dont play this
Everything with the exception of the art is made by myself, and I don't prefer the art either. That's why we've been looking for artists. If you know one, please let them know =)
With the new update 0.3.1 on PC i could not even click on something. The main menu is there but clicking on something like continue, new game, gallery even exit is not possible.
That's strange, I haven't seen that issue. What is your system specs and OS? Also, I would suggest downloading the files fresh and extracting the folder completely. Once that's done, when you run the game, see if you can skip the opening sequence or let it play out completely. Please let me know, thanks!
Thanks for your reply.
I use Linux Nobara 43 KDE based on Fedora KDE Plasma.
I start the game with winetricks an tried it at setting wine on virtuell WIN 10 and WIN 11, I also downloded it a few times but always on main menue I couldn't click anithing like i told befor, the previous version worked fine i'm also perplexed.
Ah, ok. That may explain it, I recall that there was a warning in Unity that input types might not work and I imagine that Wine might not be handling it well.
I'll look into a Linux native port so that you don't have to use stuff like Wine to play. Native will always perform best, and since I won't need to develop any new input methods or screen inputs or whatnot, it should be a relatively easy go of it.
I'll let you know what I find out!
Best workaround for the time being is to add the exe to Steam and run it through Proton, works flawlessly
Yes that worked fine, I chose add new non-steam game searched the exe and added it to library, then right klick on the exe in the library and select properties than compatibility and finaly search for proton experimental.
Thanks for your help
For some reason when i try to install the game on my phone it says app not installed. It could just be my phone giving me the middle finger so ill try again later. Also i installed it before and it worked but instantly uninstalled it for space reasons to update apps.
That's odd. I've mainly used my phone (Samsung S20) and Bluestacks to test and I did notice that Bluestacks gave me install errors with certain android versions. If there's a pending update for your device, updating may resolve, but if not it might be a waiting game =(
Finally android version ima download it rn 😆
Yup! I'm super excited I was able to get it working. I did notice a bug: Sometimes the game starts up on a black screen and you need to close and re-open the app. It's weird, I can't find why it does it but it's not too difficult to recover from.
I have not seen that issue yet
I downloaded the 0.3.1 for windows, but when I finish at the gym it says the end of the prologue. Did I do something wrong?
If you're using a savefile generated from the demo, that may occur. Make sure the game says "EA 0.3.1" on the bottom left, if it does, when you finish at the gym it should just leave you on main street.
You can start a new game and use the autoskip to burst through the prologue and that should help confirm if it's due to an old save or not, but from my testing it appears to work without issue. Keep in touch, I'd like to make sure you can play!
Thank you, I hadn't noticed the bottom left corner until after I posted the comment. Redownloaded and fixed.
Thank you for your time.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the full public release, and if you like it and want to see more, please consider supporting to access the private release, there's nearly double the content in that one!
the AI art is actually really damn good, the consistency is nice.
For it to be art, it would have to have been created by something capable of imagination rather than something trained on an algorithm
We don't have machines that can make art yet because we're not that advanced yet
This is just generative ai imagery
This has no downloads that can be accessed via the Itch app just letting you know
I think it's because the app expects an android version and that's not currently available and may not be for some time. Sorry!
From what iv seen its usually a Zip file not sure if that is android or something else entirely either way the game looks great keep it up
Android is apk
"Some time" is turning out to be like "A month" by the way. I got scaling working appropriately and added some controls that Android users may be able to use. So fingers crossed, an Android version may be available with 0.4.0.
Woot!
Just wanted to come back around and mention that, if you haven't seen it yet, there is now an Android version available! =)
HECK YEAH AWESOME
i like it so far. its just hard to figure out if i have found all the scenes yet.
Feels nice as far as I can tell with a drink in my hand, it's a birthday from someone and all that.
Where does the story end currently?
I hope one day this goes to mobile.
Just wanted to come back around and mention that, if you haven't seen it yet, there is now an Android version available! =)
pressing space would be great, if I remember it right that's actually normal, anything that takes away from pressing the mouse everytime.
Ok, done. 0.3.0 has it now. Thank you for the feedback!
Just a heads up, I moved this feature to 0.2.2 which is live so that functionality is there now for you =)
Thank you
I think I find time today to finish it.
Just wanted to mention, Sammy got so excited she changed clothes. That is honestly the only thing that makes me questions if AI is used maybe I don't care I guess, I have my opinion but I don't mind the use.
That is just the only reason I could think of for the clothes change.
is there / will there be futa content
It's a consideration but we haven't come to a decision on it just yet.
would only make sense if theres a cute hyena ''girl''
I hope for android
Working on getting it set up. Testing is going well but aspect ratio for phones makes things tricky, a lot of the game is set up for 16:9
Just wanted to come back around and mention that, if you haven't seen it yet, there is now an Android version available! =)
