New Dev Build! Club Update v0.1.5.3 - Asher path & the first hookup

Hey, friends - the third (and last) dev build is now ready to play!

You can download the build here:

PC: Google Drive 

Mac: Google Drive 

For those newer to Patreon, dev builds are work-in-progress builds that let you play through new content before the final release is ready for early access. This dev build lets you go to the club at the end of the Day 2.

What's new in this build?

Version Dev-0.1.5.3 adds the Asher & Skinema story path as well as the first of three hookup scenarios.

The Asher & Skinema story path lets you spend your time at the club with Asher, which includes some backstage drama and the potential for sparking a romance. This build also adds the Skinema performance that marks the mid-point of the evening.

I'll leave the hookup scenario partner vague here, but I'll go into more detail below for those of you who don't mind spoilers. This scenario is the first in the game to let you go beyond just oral to experiment with other positions. This being Connor's first time, it may not go quite as planned, but that doesn't mean it won't still be fun to try...

This story path and hookup scenario have added 47 new CGs to unlock, including some bonus CGs of a certain fan favorite character...

What else is in this build?

This build completes all the story content that'll be in the Club Update as it joins the story path options for Alex, Isaiah, new main character Griffin, and a solo story. 

You can stick with one storyline the entire night or jump between them, and each can branch in different directions based on your choices before and during the night at the club.

What's not in this build?

Although I'm getting very, very close to finishing the full release after many months of work, there's still some significant content to be added before I'm done:

• The two remaining hookup scenarios
• One hookup-adjacent scenario
• Replacing a few placeholder backgrounds/CGs with the final art
• Adding sprites for the few minor characters who still have a single expression

Once this content is done, I'll do thorough bug hunting and polish everything up. And then we're finally there! I'll have more details in my mid-month game status update in a few days.

Accessing the new content

To experience the most of the Asher storyline, text him to hang out after Will's class on Day 2. Stay at the club and then spend as much time with him as you can. 

To experience the hookup....

*** SPOILER START***

...you'll need to head to Griffin's apartment at the end of the night. If you haven't played a Club Update dev build yet, Griffin is the final new main character to be introduced, a bartender with ties to Matt.

Below I'll detail how to follow the Griffin path. Once you have the option to kiss him at his apartment, go for it. 

There are a number of ways to navigate through what follows, letting you focus only on oral, experiment with bottoming, experiment with topping, or a combination of the three. If you stick with one position preference the whole time - side, bottom, or top - you'll unlock a few CGs exclusive to those paths.

*** SPOILER END ***

For Isaiah, hang out with Isaiah after Will's class on Day 2. At the end of hanging out, you'll be invited to go along with him to the club.

For the solo path, choose to go to the club after spending the afternoon with any character who is not featured in the club update: Matt, Owen, Riley, Marco, or Dominic.

For Alex, the steps are essentially the same as Isaiah - hang out with Alex after Will's class and agree to go to the club with him.

For Griffin, choose to hang out with Asher after Will's class. You'll briefly meet Griffin during the hangout with Asher, and then you can continue interacting with Griffin after Asher goes to prepare for his show.

Some tips for finding the most content:

• Always shower!
• Take the opportunity to explore when it's given, and look around thoroughly
• Depending on who you hang out with before following the solo path, you may discover some extra dialogue with or about that character
• Your version of Connor absolutely doesn't need to drink, but sometimes getting sloppy drunk can lead to entertaining or intriguing scenes (never overly sexual scenes, though; guys in this game will always turn you down if you try to hook up when too drunk or high!)

Possible issues

Although I try to test thoroughly before sharing a new build, it's very possible - likely even - that I missed some things during my testing. This could include:

• Connor's image in the bottom corner may appear to have two images layered on top of each other or disappear entirely
• Someone may become shirtless - or put clothes back on - when that shouldn't happen
• A scene may link to another scene incorrectly
• A scene may repeat before linking to the correct next scene
• Someone may make reference to something that didn't happen or ignore something that did happen
• Typos!

None of these are necessarily game-breaking outside of scenes not linking together correctly. If you happen across something like the above and would like to let me know, feel free to leave a comment or DM me!

Important: A common error can happen when loading a saved game that mentions a variable cannot be found. Although saves usually carry over between builds, sometimes they become incompatible.

The only way I know to fix this is to start a new game, then use the skip feature to fast forward through. It's a bit of a pain, but as someone who has to skip through from the beginning a lot, it really only takes a few minutes or so.

Thank you for your support!

This particular update has taken quite awhile to put together for many reasons, some too personal to share here. I appreciate your patience while I worked to create this - the faith all of you show in the game makes it worth all the work!

I hope you have fun with this build! I'm looking forward to sharing the full, final release with you very soon 🙂
