Trish and Emily are neighbors by default with Trish being Emily's mom.
I will take a look and fix it. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey reinman2001, perhaps you know this guy already, if not he has some great stuff using daz3d, unity,...
If your having some troubles like lighting
lol you can find a lot of useful stuff.
I was following him when i tried my hand at daz3d.
I'm not sure if he still do's lifestreams, but if he is, you can even ask him directly, most of the time you get some damn good answers.

All of the audio that will be in the game was added. It seems like a lot now, but will be around the same size when the game is finished as well, since for the most part, I have included all the background audio/music.
(PC version)
When I get to the step to change relationship with the neighbor woman, it won't accept anything I enter and says "neighbor" regardless. Then if I change her daughter's relationship it looks like it takes but when they show up in the game she is back to being the neighbor's daughter. So relationship changes work for the characters living with the MC, but not for the neighbor woman and her dependent character. FYI.
[Too tired at the moment to read all the above posts, so if someone already pointed out this bug just slap my ass and call me Sally.]

I'll take a look at it. Thank you for pointing it out. If it is letting you change it, the problem seems to be with Ren'Py or a script not entered correctly by me. As I stated, this is my first Ren'Py game, so I foresee lots of "oops" on my part.
I do appreciate all the help in pointing out my mistakes. Helps me pinpoint them and fix them. So thank you.
I have been real busy with work and family. I am working on the next update, just not as fast as I had planned. Getting it done though.
Just letting you know because it's right at the beginning and could obv cause cascading issues throughout the rest of the game, at least in terms of players being able to play it the way they would prefer to play it. Not complaining, I promise.

Neither really. It will be a choice of whomever you choose to play with or not. Once I can build out the relationships the way I want/plan, each interaction may have consequences (may be good or bad) with other characters. I will also add the ability to "soft reset" relationships as you see fit. I never liked the games where one choice ruins the way you want to play the game. So, it will be choice driven, actionable consequences, but nothing "permanent" you don't want.
Thank you. Working on it. Adding free roam is much more in depth than I thought. I give a mass amount of respect to others who have seamlessly implemented it in their games. Just adding pictures to click for rooms is simple enough, but adding in the highlight over, changing the way it responds when you mouse over etc. is very tedious. I think this will be my longest wait update, because I'm building the entire "map" portion of free roam etc. The rest should be rather continuous after this build, as I have 90% of the "story" written.I must say... Great fudging teaser first release, cant wait for update
I do appreciate the support and kind words.

Not to many people are following yet, because of the lack of content in the game thus far. Understandable.
For those who are curious about the next update... It may be awhile. I'll explain.
So the beginning of the game was a simple linear story, easily coded into Ren'Py. What I am working on now is a bit ambitious. Some would say "Too ambitious for a first game". I agree, it is, but... Why limit myself down the road? Why not learn and make this game like a pro? I am not charging for the game, so I can take my time and not be like those Patreon guys who leach money from their supporters.
That being said, I am diligently working on the game. Learning, coding, getting frustrated, learning from mistakes, throwing my keyboard, going to the store to get a new keyboard, learning some more.... Yes, to implement time, a stat system, sandboxing/free roam, items to buy, ability to make money (or cheat if you want) etc. It all seems trivial reading it, but if you have made a Ren'Py game, watched a tutorial on these things, you understand how tedious it can be. Then getting all the code to be friends and stop fighting is another fun task.
Enough with the novel (not the game, this post). I have made promises to get a game out at a certain time. I will no longer do that. It feels like empty promises, that I cannot fulfil, due to my lack of Ren'Py skills. So, the next update will get done when I get it done. I can only promise that this next update will be more worth your time, than the initial release. Once all things are added to the game I want, I will go back and clean up some of the renders, now that I understand Daz lighting a bit better.

Just a quick update. I am still working on the game. Mostly done with the free roam. The animations are kicking my but, so I may release without full animations and more of a two position affect, just to get the update out, but still work on them.
The main reason for this post.. Wife and I are at ends. Depending on how bad this divorce gets, I may not have internet for a bit while finding a place, moving, etc. Rest assured, I will still work on the game, just may not be able to upload it until I get internet back. That is, if I even lose it at all. Things are still up in the air.
Also, don't feel bad for me or pity me. I kinda knew this was coming for the last year and prepared myself "emotionally" for it. Already 50% moved on. Life goes on and porn games get better!

. Life goes on and porn games get better!First, I never cared for free roam/sandbox games. They tend to add time fluff that is just frustrating and takes away from the story and at the same time can require more time to implement and deal with branching. But, as you already are deep into that, I digress. Be more work to change away from it now, I suppose.
As for animations. You are much better doing still poses with attention to detail rather than having janky animations. I have seen too many animations attempted on this site that end up with weird limb movement, mesh collisions and horrid loop or reverse points. I have also seen games that use still pictures that end up way more erotic than 90% of the animations you will see here. It is almost like the uncanny valley. With animations you have a huge gap you have to leap before it becomes worth it.
If you are at the point where you are still learning lighting, I would avoid adding the complication and hassle of animations altogether. Just my $ .02
I'm always disappointed when games have sex scenes that end in 2-3 clicks because they only consist of a short animation looping and then they're over. Between the two, I'd much rather have longer fleshed out scenes with stills than short animated ones.

Thanks for the input. It's always appreciated. I do agree in some form. I do enjoy well maintained pictures over jary animations. This is my "kicking my butt" portion. The animations are there, but they look crappy when imported. So, I'm leaning more towards stills, as they just look better overall. I may add some animations, but optional for those who would want them, and just continue building with beautiful and erotic images that mesh well. Still in the early stages and many things can and have changed. As for the free roam, it's not going to be like "world" free roam. I'm only doing house roaming. This way the player can mange the story or stories they want to progress in. There will also be more NSFW options at night, etc.
Some scenes may be shorter than others and some longer, depending on what is happening. For example, if the player chooses to stop in a molesting situation, etc. I don't want to spoil to much. I do understand what you are saying though.
I agree and appreciate your kind words. I will not "change" what I want, but I will incorporate ideas that I like and didn't think of, if I believe they will add to the story or make it better. In all, it will always be the direction I personally want, but I'm always open for cool ideas!
To end, I do apologize this is taking so long. The divorce has left me a little "out of resources". My PC that can handle DAZ is in storage and I'm working from my phone and laptop. My laptop really struggles with DAZ. I am still coding in renpy and adding to the story, as well as working on the whole game altogether.
So, for informational purposes; I am working on the game, at a very slow pace. It's the fastest I can work on the game until this divorce is done and I have a place of my own with good internet. This hotel internet is slow and shared, so I'm not uploading anything with the risk of this shared network. Once I have a good office again, I'll push out some good stuff. On the bright side, the single life will give me more time to work on my projects with less distractions...once I have the space to do so lol.
Thanks for your patience, praise, thoughtful words and pointers/opinions. I do appreciate them all.
