Alright guys, just reached the part where I can buy certain elves for a ton of money? Do we have a money cheat or does anyone have a more convenient money making strategy then just skipping days? Thanks guys

Quick thing here before Runey starts work on 0.7. Can we maybe not post the betas this time? I feel like it wasn't worth it what with the broken saves and massive pile of confusion. Which, y'know, Runey warned us about. The spoilers being posted were also pretty annoying.
In a perfect world...
I agree it would be great if there weren‘t any beta leaks. The same situation happens with other games and you can‘t really control people who leak earlier and unfinished versions. But it‘s nice to ask, though:D

I appreciate it.

Well, if you don't want to be a dirty cheater and buy those elves with blood money, you can do pinups, and upgrade your bar. The bar will get you roughly $400 a week (passively) maxed out.

Also, if I remember correctly, Kali can give you some of her tips from her pizza delivery job.

BTW, Runey, will there ever be some other sources of money, besides photoshoots, bar and Kali's tips? I think that Ashley and the twins/clones should also get a job.

Or at least when it happens and they update the main post, maybe not get rid of the old version until the real new full is ready. That way people can still get the working version.

I'm not sure. I believe pinups and the bar are plenty of sources to gain money.

Well, there are some of the exhibition events, like Android being milked in the cafe, or Lin getting tips for a certain event. There could be a few others like that, such as the stripping in the bar event we talked about a while back. They would not be regular sources of income, but a nice way to get a small bonus, without being too repetitive. Basically, it would be the same as redoing those other exhibition events, but with some variety, this way you can expand the options when you get around to doing more exhibition events, without really changing the in-game economy. Maybe a random $5-20 tip, could even be $0-20, or something similar.

So I've completed it all. Took me a whole day... Honestly, I'm not into this kind of games, but I must admit the story, characters and situations are wrote really well. It's rather a rare sight. The way of corruption also is something rare to see (at least for me). I would really recommend it even for those who (like me) don't like this type of games.

Keep up the good work!

That isn't really all that much; it's more than pinups or rent, but even with all three I estimate it'd take you several months to reach a target of $12,000 (assuming you don't spend anything on dates, outfits, etc.). I think you mentioned that they're supposed to be a long-term goal, but that's pretty long term.

Right now it might feel 'long term' in a bad way, but remember when the content will be increased by a factor 3 or 4, will it really feel that long term again? I think you won't notice the time you save up, and one day you just have the money, and can by you favourite Elf.

This is also one of the bad aspects of developing on the go, we consumers/players only see things as they are, but in development you rarely create the game linearly. Have you ever thought why 'bloody VN's' as I call them have become so popular on Patreon, I urge all that have given it a thought and those who have wondered about it, to see the following youtube video with Jonathan blow! :)



PS. Everyone else ought to watch it too xD

is there a difference between beta 3 and pre release 1?
Yes.

So it turns out Renpy supports updates:

("Build Updates" was a feature I had to enable in the script)

I don't know exactly how this works, but I'm assuming I would click that button and once it's built, and when you launch the game, it'd ask you to update. This means you wouldn't have to redownload the full game every update.
