Please please please make some sort of gallery where we can see all the scenes we potentially lost due to dialog or the scenes we want to visit again. Also I think it's kind of unfair to not let the player know when they made a branching choice, especially when some of the chapters are long and there is no save and loading within them. Otherwise amazing game. Can't wait for the update
Haha a lot of feedback I get is people asking for less work, & more chatting with the characters. But also people ask me (just like you) for MORE work & less chatting with the characters. I think I have to keep it balanced!
I think the current balance between conversation and work is nice and I really like the conversations. However I think an endless mode could also be fun and could be a way to play while waiting for the next update.
The only bad thing now is that it's probably a month+ until the next update.
I have a question, though. During the "Don't get distracted" part in Day 25, will this have branching romances later on? Like, does Ingrid stop sending any pics in the next episodes if I go with Ellie?
In Day 25, you're essentially choosing who you get photos from, Ingrid or Ellie. Your decision in this day won't affect future days, because I think that's probably unfair, and a bit confusing because I expect a few people will play through this day several times to get the different outcomes.
You can see Ingrid's photos by choosing to tell Ellie that you need to get back to work. This pleases Ingrid & she shows you some photos. All the photos are uploaded to my Patreon if you miss any.
Makes sense but wondering if there for example I can see on the chapter select screen what chapters have 2 paths I haven't done and the pictures / story path I've missed.
I like this game the hot woman naked, is good game and enjoys playing just download the links to this game be totally free, wish see more upload this games
Congratulations on the game, man it's fun, dynamic, unlike anything I've ever played, a hell of a game, keep up the great work! Success always. When I get the money, I'll support you on patreon, I swear.
So I purchased 1&2 last night and powered through them. I love the set up of how you have designed it, it has a classy approach and It's not overly sexualized like some games. I will be joining Patreon tomorrow! Great job!
I'm a big fan for this game but it's been a while since the game had sexy conversation with Sophie and the relationship with lingird is very slow to improve. Don't get me wrong but most of time i'm waiting more than a month 😮💨 and i'm getting disappointed and the days become without lewd moments to turn me on. Thanks for listening to me.
Thanks for the feedback! Sophie will be in the next Day that I'm creating (Day 26), & I'll be releasing a new chapter of "Sophie's Hot Vacation" on Patreon soon!
hello all right? I know that the game is based on the actions we take, but just out of curiosity you plan in some future depending on the actions we take. Join Sophie, Ingrid or the other girls together with the protagonist?. Or also place things like they can show more closeness with the main character, like going out together, marking depending on our interactions with meeting, interacting more with him and that kind of thing? It's just doubts that came out of nowhere, and thanks for such an entertaining game :)
Any plans to add a gallery mode to images you've unlocked/seen? I simply haven't played this in months and I no longer support the Patreon because of how ridiculous it is to keep track of favorite images & when they happen, & having to go through all of that dialog again just to see it again.
I also think it'd be more enticing to see explicit images more often. I truly believe you've hti the nail on the head with the artwork you have to 'moderate' but I can tell that it's detracting from the story experience. It's clear people love the main characters, I'm generally just surprised you haven't taken much advantage of that outside of other mini-games and reskins.
There definitely needs to be more of a focus on the main girls, & perhaps with hardcore routes that result in pictures they've taken with their SOs or even meeting up with 'you' for something as simple as a blowjob. It would be interesting to have the MC transferred to Sophie's office, & with how things are all virtual today it'd be the same sort of feeling. You could have the MC or Sophie even working from home to explain that.
The version on itch.io is Day 25. The very latest version is Day 26 which is available early access on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/53020410
I enjoy this game, but something I've been uncertain of is just how severely branching the paths are. Sometimes when I'm given a dialog option, the response I get is ambiguous enough, I can kinda assume that either choice I made would have led there. And I expect that saying "no" or something rude in most cases ends the encounter.
But with less obvious options, it's hard to sense just how much the game is actually responding to my choices. That gets a little frustrating or confusing when, like, I can't tell if being a little snarky or flirty with Ingrid will actually work, or if it's damaging my relationship with her and making it even less likely we'll hit it off.
I think what I'm running into is a lack of meaningful feedback. I don't know when my choices matter, since many of them don't seem to, and it's not clear when the game is actually responding to the choices I've made versus when it's railroading me. As a result, playing the game, while fun, can also be unpleasantly surprising or even frustrating.
I'm enjoying it, still, and I hope I haven't inadvertently locked myself out of Ingrid content. I'll discover as I play more. But I think the game would benefit with tighter feedback, so I didn't quite have to cross my fingers and hope for matters like that.
Hi thanks for the feedback! I don't want to give away too much mystery, but I will say that any rude/dismissive option that you choose won't usually last very long. You might get an upset or angry message back, or miss out on some photos, but there's not many decisions that will be carried across to the next chapter. This allows everyone to pretty much experience all of the content, or it'd be really boring if the wrong decision in Chapter 1 meant that you miss out on ALL future photos! So that's why being rude doesn't have much of a lasting effect.
Also, if you think you've missed out on something, you can restart the chapter and play again. Everything will be reset at the start of the chapter.
In the future I'm going to add more choices, more story paths, and decisions with more lasting consequences. But it's a balance because it'll take longer for me to create, test and write all those outcomes.
Just curious, is there a way to miss out on certain scenes? I mean, I can figure out the "ok fuck this I'm out" button will maybe ignore stuff, but taking day 22 as an example, is there a way to get Ingrid to bend over?
You can skip chapters (The chapter select is in the menu), but the chapter has to be played through. Some options will skip huge chunks of dialogue, like if you say something unkind, or dismissive.
There isn't any photos of Ingrid bending over in Day 22, but there's a lot more content with Ingrid still to come!
i understand that these things take time and effort, but with all due respect i think its not the best idea to split the games into 2 for more money. the games arent bad, but i dont think this is needed. you would not have to reintroduce concepts in part 2 if it carried on directly from the 1st, and it would give for a greater sense of continuity which i feel suits this story driven game more (because lets be honest i dont think anyone is here to push buttons and enjoy it). if you want more money out of this and feel that 2 split games and a patreon isnt cutting it for you, you could always collapse this game into the 1st and just up the 1st game's price.
anyways thats my 2 cents, best of luck in future endeavors
Hi! I really enjoy all of these games. Ive played lewd mod 1 & 2, face mask mod, and xmas mod. All great games. In my opinion i feel that longer conversations with the other in game characters (for example sophie and maddie) would definitely help the game be a little more interactive/immersing. And possibly more options when possible. Just for my opinion as a fellow game maker. Thanks!
Thanks very much for the feedback, very useful! Glad you like my games! I made another too called Maddie Goes Shopping here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/59758787
very cool and creative game, love the artworks and style ,
i know you're alone making this game but in my opinion, i find the dialogue with each character too similar and too repetitive (listening to her, they take pictures or asking pictures or "what are you wearing"), i think the event in the first game with darla is a very good idea we don't expect it so it's break the routine and make the game more exciting and interesting (sad it didn't continue), also ellie was a good idea too but the relationship seems unrealistic, it's escalating too quickly.
So in my opinion i would say:
keep doing more unique and singular way to get or received picture of a character
make events that you don't expect
and maybe try give more importance to the choice of dialogues
the game have a really good potential, keep going and stay creative :)
bought both games but still dont appreciate the bait and switch. I don't care if you need the money to support it, lying about people having full access to future content and then locking the rest of the days behind a second game is kinda scummy. a save option would also be great, other than that great work.
I love this game and the interactions between the characters, but I wish my actions had more purpose. Like, I had a slight feeling that if I ignored Ellie, I could interact more with Ingrid, and vice versa, but it wasn't the case. I don't know how everything works under the hood, but I wish I had more of a purpose in the story. I hope you can move the interactions in this direction more, depending on the limitations :) Still love it though!
I've played the first game and I loved it, now I'm playing the second one and I like it so far. My only complaint is about the responses being in ALL CAPS. idk why, just makes it feel like the responses are way too excited or aggressive when in caps.
But overall, it's a great game, very fun to play! And I love the art!
Haha I'd not even considered this! It just looked better to have the text in the buttons in all caps, you're the 1st person to point out that it might be shouty! Thanks for your compliment tho, & glad you're enjoying the game!
Wow this is so weird, I've never seen this happen! Have you got dark mode enabled or something? What phone is this? Does it only happen to images in Day 17, or all Days? What phone is it?
nooo, the game ended just when i got really into it :( oh well, im looking forward to the next days :) (great game btw, definitely worth the small price you're paying for it)
You've said it's a sequel and you've said that you only made a sequel because the file got too big, therefore it isn't a sequel it's updates of the first game. You can add another file into the original. People who already bought the first one will have access to it.
If you don't want to pay for the new content that's fine. But I need to charge for the time I'm spending on this because I can't work for free. I spend a lot of time making these games. I don't think it's very expensive for the amount of content you get.
When they pay you recived for lewd mod 1 wasnt enough the normal thing to do is raise the price, not break the game up into pieces. Especially since lewd mod 1 promised all future updates to buyers. At best its false advertisement and at worst bait and switch.
I run a small construction company and if i take on a job too cheap (have happened once) i have to eat the loss, i cant lock up 2 rooms and demand payment to give them access.
And while i agree $5 is a good price for the current content thats what should have been charged for lewd mod 1, maybe even $10 so you can continue the work.
To be fair, when you build a house, there is a defined end-state and you're getting paid by one individual. You can negotiate an agreed amount and you are guaranteed (at least contractually) that you will receive that amount. This situation is quite a bit different, his work is ongoing with no defined end-state, and whether or not he makes enough to cover his costs is down to whether or not enough people buy.
If double the number of people had purchased LewdMod1, it may not have been necessary to split it.
That "Eat the loss" is a lot easier to justify when you're talking about a project that can take a year at most, not when this may be a commitment that you keep for years into the future.
All fair points, but again, dont promise the full product if you dont know if you can deliver. If LewdMod1 hadnt promised all future updates off the game then the split would have been fine.
Glad to see one of my favorite series coming back! Always love coming back to this game.
Now, I did enjoy the 1st day (or 15th day?) of this new installment, but I gotta say it's slightly confusing the way it's set up currently. It seems like a mix between a sequel and a continuation of the previous story. And it conflicts in a way that just sort of left me confused, like it almost seems like all these characters I've known for roughly 2 weeks ingame suddenly were stricken with amnesia and forgot who the mc ever was. And you're left in weird state between the old and the new.
And I think that's the problem, as much as I love this game, and believe me, I love it a lot. It's neither a continuation or a sequel, It's just a weird mix of the two. And honestly, I like both ideas, I wouldn't mind having either one (both preferably!), But I believe one must come first and then the next.
I'm not sure if the dev is up for suggestions, but I'll give my piece.
If the dev truly wants to start fresh with a sequel, then I would say the best way to do that is to wrap up LM1, and a simple way to do this is to maybe fire our player, in fact, day 13 & 14 put us in a spot where we broke several rules. maybe the dev could work off that? And then start LM2 as a new employee. that way characters don't need to seem awkward explaining how to do a job I've supposedly been doing for 2 weeks.
But if the dev wants to continue the current story, I would say to drop all the new introductions and such and bring us back to where we were, and give us a true day 15 instead of a day 1.2.
I know the dev has been getting a lot of negativity for this release, and I think the main reason is because of "price" issue. I have to say, first off, that 4.80 is not a bad price at all for this game, but I think the confusion lies in people not sure what exactly they're getting. I would say the dev's best bet is to A) Merge LM1 & 2 and just make it $4.80 or B) Make the game a true sequel so people don't believe they're buying the same game twice.
And lastly, I hope you're doing okay dev. I know this is probably a sucky situation for you. A lot of people truly are unjustly upset over something small. But it seems like a lot of people here just want what's best for the game. Including myself. I'm sorry if any of this seemed like an attack but it is not in anyway! I know a lot of hard work goes into this game, and it seems like a series you care about, so I'm sure you'll make the decision you believe is best for the game.
The issue isnt "Price", i agree that $5 isnt bad, the problem is the shady business practices.
The page for lewd mod 1 promised buyers all future updates to the game. (And it was removed when lewd mod 2 released so basically a bait and switch)
The same promise was on this page aswell until it was pointed out in the comments that if the games is broken up into more installments it would be a bait and switch again.
The normal thing developers here do when their games get bigger and more content is raise the price, not break it up into several games.

I would love an endless mode of just checking pictures without chats in between. Maybe with a health system and high scores
Haha a lot of feedback I get is people asking for less work, & more chatting with the characters. But also people ask me (just like you) for MORE work & less chatting with the characters. I think I have to keep it balanced!

Your decision in this day won't affect future days, because I think that's probably unfair, and a bit confusing because I expect a few people will play through this day several times to get the different outcomes.
Side question here. Is there anyway to know when the day branches. So I can see some simple or a photo album that shows I'm missing x from day 25 etc.
You can see Ingrid's photos by choosing to tell Ellie that you need to get back to work. This pleases Ingrid & she shows you some photos. All the photos are uploaded to my Patreon if you miss any.

When will next day be available? The last day was downloaded from month and half 😪. The waiting time was too much from day to day.
I've just uploaded Day 25! (and Day 26 on Patreon)
Congratulations on the game, man it's fun, dynamic, unlike anything I've ever played, a hell of a game, keep up the great work! Success always. When I get the money, I'll support you on patreon, I swear.

When it's finished yes I will 🙂

Hi, how do we get the latest updates on itch.io?

Day 24 is out now on itch.io, & Day 25 on Patreon

Can you put your game "Maddie goes shopping" here because patreon doesn't open in my country and i really wish to play it
Great. I'm waiting for it HOPE it will be very soon :')
You can get Maddie Goes Shopping now here: https://hhrichards.itch.io/maddie-goes-shopping
If I could take these games for free I would be happier (full version) but the demo is ok great work
Hi! I really enjoy all of these games. Ive played lewd mod 1 & 2, face mask mod, and xmas mod. All great games.

Does the autosave not work for you? Or do you mean you'd like multiple save slots?
multiple save slots would be nice so i dont have to redo the entire day to test options. or a gallery or something
Ok sure, I'll have a think about this. Thanks for the feedback!
any plans to add linux support or play in browser support?
I'll have a look into Linux support, but it might be a while tbh. I think you can use an Android emulator, but haven't try it personally
how would I download it on iPhone
Hi, this is for Android & Windows only unfortunately. I'd love to support Apple products, but right now it's just too difficult for me to do that.
Great game! Is there any chance in the future, the mc send nudes to sophie?
When does day 20 come out for itch?
Day 20 is out now :-)
Is there any lewd scenes planned for Ingrid in future updates? I would love to see more of her.
Yes absolutely! Got lots planned for her!
Sounds great! I'm looking forward to it
Hi i really enjoy this game was wondering if anyone could recommend me any game that has similar concept to this game? i really enjoyed it.
Have a look at my other games, I have a few, and more on Patreon
Any plans to release them here? Would happily purchased them but unfortunately can't afford Patreon at that level the moment.
When is the next update?
In a few weeks!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas
Thanks! Day 19 is out now!
I love this game and the interactions between the characters, but I wish my actions had more purpose. Like, I had a slight feeling that if I ignored Ellie, I could interact more with Ingrid, and vice versa, but it wasn't the case. I don't know how everything works under the hood, but I wish I had more of a purpose in the story. I hope you can move the interactions in this direction more, depending on the limitations :) Still love it though!
Thanks for the feedback, I'm planning more interactions with Ingrid in future updates!
Just asking why is the window version has 152mb and the Android version is just 4mb? Is it because of the quality?
I honestly don't know. It's due to the software that creates creates the file. The images are the same.
When is the next update?
Soon.Day 19 has been released now 🙂I've played the first game and I loved it, now I'm playing the second one and I like it so far. My only complaint is about the responses being in ALL CAPS. idk why, just makes it feel like the responses are way too excited or aggressive when in caps.
But overall, it's a great game, very fun to play! And I love the art!
Haha I'd not even considered this! It just looked better to have the text in the buttons in all caps, you're the 1st person to point out that it might be shouty! Thanks for your compliment tho, & glad you're enjoying the game!
The colors of the released version are all wrong, blacks are whites...
This doesn't sound right. Any chance you could send me a screenshot on here? Also are you playing on Android or Windows?
Android, will send you the print
Wow this is so weird, I've never seen this happen! Have you got dark mode enabled or something? What phone is this? Does it only happen to images in Day 17, or all Days? What phone is it?
New version has the same problem. This was not the case for older version...
Do you have dark mode enabled? Or low battery mode or something?
Just want to say thanks so much to person who just left a tip when buying, it's much appreciated!
Also just want to say to everyone, the next Day is coming soon!
I really hope the next chapter is coming out soon, I can't wait.
Yes I've been working on Day 18! That'll be coming in a few weeks to Patreon, then I'll put Day 17 on here.Day 20 is out now!
I would like the game to be in more languages and not have to use an external translator to play it
nooo, the game ended just when i got really into it :( oh well, im looking forward to the next days :) (great game btw, definitely worth the small price you're paying for it)
Glad you like it! Today I've just uploaded the latest version to Patreon, which I'll upload here when I finish the next chapter :-)
You've said it's a sequel and you've said that you only made a sequel because the file got too big, therefore it isn't a sequel it's updates of the first game. You can add another file into the original. People who already bought the first one will have access to it.

I agree with you but are you atleast releasing the next day on here then? It's been a very long time on patreon already. We also paid for it.
Yep, will upload soon! 🙂
I've uploaded Day 20 here now :-)
Day 21 is on Patreon, & I've started working on Day 22
When they pay you recived for lewd mod 1 wasnt enough the normal thing to do is raise the price, not break the game up into pieces. Especially since lewd mod 1 promised all future updates to buyers. At best its false advertisement and at worst bait and switch.

And while i agree $5 is a good price for the current content thats what should have been charged for lewd mod 1, maybe even $10 so you can continue the work.
To be fair, when you build a house, there is a defined end-state and you're getting paid by one individual. You can negotiate an agreed amount and you are guaranteed (at least contractually) that you will receive that amount. This situation is quite a bit different, his work is ongoing with no defined end-state, and whether or not he makes enough to cover his costs is down to whether or not enough people buy.
If double the number of people had purchased LewdMod1, it may not have been necessary to split it.
That "Eat the loss" is a lot easier to justify when you're talking about a project that can take a year at most, not when this may be a commitment that you keep for years into the future.
All fair points, but again, dont promise the full product if you dont know if you can deliver. If LewdMod1 hadnt promised all future updates off the game then the split would have been fine.
Glad to see one of my favorite series coming back! Always love coming back to this game.
Now, I did enjoy the 1st day (or 15th day?) of this new installment, but I gotta say it's slightly confusing the way it's set up currently. It seems like a mix between a sequel and a continuation of the previous story. And it conflicts in a way that just sort of left me confused, like it almost seems like all these characters I've known for roughly 2 weeks ingame suddenly were stricken with amnesia and forgot who the mc ever was. And you're left in weird state between the old and the new.
And I think that's the problem, as much as I love this game, and believe me, I love it a lot. It's neither a continuation or a sequel, It's just a weird mix of the two. And honestly, I like both ideas, I wouldn't mind having either one (both preferably!), But I believe one must come first and then the next.
I'm not sure if the dev is up for suggestions, but I'll give my piece.
If the dev truly wants to start fresh with a sequel, then I would say the best way to do that is to wrap up LM1, and a simple way to do this is to maybe fire our player, in fact, day 13 & 14 put us in a spot where we broke several rules. maybe the dev could work off that? And then start LM2 as a new employee. that way characters don't need to seem awkward explaining how to do a job I've supposedly been doing for 2 weeks.
But if the dev wants to continue the current story, I would say to drop all the new introductions and such and bring us back to where we were, and give us a true day 15 instead of a day 1.2.
I know the dev has been getting a lot of negativity for this release, and I think the main reason is because of "price" issue. I have to say, first off, that 4.80 is not a bad price at all for this game, but I think the confusion lies in people not sure what exactly they're getting. I would say the dev's best bet is to A) Merge LM1 & 2 and just make it $4.80 or B) Make the game a true sequel so people don't believe they're buying the same game twice.
And lastly, I hope you're doing okay dev. I know this is probably a sucky situation for you. A lot of people truly are unjustly upset over something small. But it seems like a lot of people here just want what's best for the game. Including myself. I'm sorry if any of this seemed like an attack but it is not in anyway! I know a lot of hard work goes into this game, and it seems like a series you care about, so I'm sure you'll make the decision you believe is best for the game.
I can't wait to see what's in store for LM! :)
The issue isnt "Price", i agree that $5 isnt bad, the problem is the shady business practices.
The page for lewd mod 1 promised buyers all future updates to the game. (And it was removed when lewd mod 2 released so basically a bait and switch)
The same promise was on this page aswell until it was pointed out in the comments that if the games is broken up into more installments it would be a bait and switch again.
The normal thing developers here do when their games get bigger and more content is raise the price, not break it up into several games.
Can't wait for the next update !!
Great! Day 19 is out now (and Day 20 on Patreon)
