Update 1.51
Added 2018-02-02 01:00:37 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Update 1.51 is ready! Long post incoming with a lot of information!
- Darius Day 17 - Will it stab you in the feels? Will you have fun? Will you just want to bone him? Who knows? There are so many things to explore with this pain in the ass.
- Chester Day 23 - Interesting developments with Chester. Some realizations and stuff... You'll see!
- More backgrounds! Holy cow guys, Gavel has been on a roll! We have an updated Locker Room, Locker Showers, Spencer Living Room, and even a second shot of the tennis courts! He's really putting Mark's sketches to good use.
- With that said, I've finished going through Spencer's route to update backgrounds and music, and I even went through Darius's route to add these things in. Current me is really hating Past me for not thinking further ahead for these things, but hey, it's getting done! And going forward, I'm adjusting my coding a bit to take this into account.
- Speaking of coding... I might have solved the issue with having to restart whenever I add in new variables! This is -huge- for me, and I'll be experimenting with that going forward. On top of that, I learned some other neat things and have reduced the overall file size for the ZIP. I had originally cut out 100MB of data, but after adding in a bunch of new BGs, I'm down to about 40 less right now. Still, it's a smaller file size, and I hope to trim it up more!
- New feature! So, I learned a little trick to naming save files (gasp!). Currently, it only works when naming your MC though (it's an option right after that). I'm gonna have to play more with the code, but when you start a new game, you can name your files now!
- You guys will notice some inconsistencies with the side-images too, but don't pay much mind to that. That is going to get a huge rework soon, and the current images aren't going to matter at all. A lot of huge image changes coming within the next month or so~
- The credits do still exist, for anyone that wonders! I keep forgetting to mention it. If you hover around Spencer's foot shadow, you'll hear the click of it, and you can still click on it. I just forgot to add the text when I updated the title screen buttons.
NOW, I have some bad news.
As much as we wanted to believe otherwise, we have to put an end to the production of the IDEKA 2017 special. It's really unfortunate, and we can't just keep beating around the bush about it. We hit some really heavy snags along the way, and as hard as we tried, we weren't able to get through them. It's led us into a complete developmental deadzone, and we just can't continue with it. Bear in mind, CM and I are not the only two people on the team for the project either. What we're doing at least, is making the artwork was done available to everyone. I HAVE INCLUDED THE FILES WITH THE NORMAL DOWNLOAD FOLDER~
It's with our deepest apologies that we do this, and we hope that we'll be able to make it up to you in the future as we continue with our work. In some other attempt at redemption, we're offering those of you that haven't had the chance to play it yet, a copy of the 2016 version as well. Everything will be contained in the link provided. As well, for anyone that would like to request a refund for the -month of October-, please send me a private message, and we'll get that handled as well.
Again, we're deeply sorry about this, everyone, and we'll do our best to make it up to you all. It wasn't a decision we treated lightly.
- General Information!
- Don't forget, guides can be found here. Please, don't ask me when I'll be updating them again. The time spent updating them is time I can put towards real updates, so they are low priority for me.
- Extracurricular Activities has its own store page on FurryDakimkura as well! You can get the Dakimakuras, Mousepad and WallScrolls there! Be sure to check it out, and grab something fun for yourself.
- Coach's Bear Belly shirt is still available for order! They print every three days. I don't control the printing/shipping of the shirts. All questions in regards to that should be directed to the Teespring site.
- Huge thanks to anyone that contributed to the typo page on Google Documents again! I really appreciate keeping things clean and orderly. You guys are finding some things I'd never notice. You can also post images in the same way there!
- For all of my new folks, please be sure to check out my FAQ on my blog for questions regarding Extracurricular Activities!
-Don't forget, the links and passwords for the update will be my first comment on the post!
Comments
I admit, it will be sad to see CM's art go, but CGB's art will be quite a suitable replacement. At least you were able to keep your friendship strong, as opposed to having things get to the point where your personal relationship dissolved. Though, I admit, I am a touch nervous that some of the guys might end up looking a little too soft around the middle (for some reason, I always imagined Dozer's gut being very solid, instead of soft, while Harold's and Chester's are, obviously, more the soft type). Not to say I won't love the game, regardless. I'm still looking forward to seeing how this progresses!
Kusho
2018-02-16 21:14:28 +0000 UTCI have zero problems with it, even with using it to update the game. Maybe the download doen't complete for any reason? I needed to download it on my computer then transfer the apk to the device via USB.
BassPuppy
2018-02-15 15:05:50 +0000 UTCHeh, thank you for that! As long as it works, I'm typically happy, but later on, I learn ways to take what works and make it better, so that's always nice too ;3
DyneWulf
2018-02-11 17:47:51 +0000 UTCThanks so much :D
DyneWulf
2018-02-11 17:46:56 +0000 UTCHAha, animations in EA would be marvelous, I'm sure. It's definitely something I'd not mind either.
DyneWulf
2018-02-11 17:46:14 +0000 UTCStupid, charming face, right?
DyneWulf
2018-02-11 17:45:21 +0000 UTCRight, it's just not dependent on the previous day. It's more of a combination of the past week or so that leads to a variety of different dialogue paths. I think there were 4 different routes, max, that the certain blocks of dialogue could spin off to.
DyneWulf
2018-02-11 17:43:20 +0000 UTCAnyone else having a problem eith the apk? EverytIke I go to download it, it says permanent failure, or there was a problem parsing the package... :/
2018-02-10 01:23:56 +0000 UTCyeaaaa boiii
Love God
2018-02-10 00:26:22 +0000 UTCQuestion, is there a sex scene on Harold's story line? I don't need a specific answer, but I want to know before I replay it.
Arcaevius
2018-02-09 13:23:20 +0000 UTCi don't know about the routes with less love points but for my playthrough he's just getting more physically intimate while actually dialing back the crudeness (or maybe i'm just used to it lol)
Vivienne
2018-02-09 02:10:12 +0000 UTCIs Darius getting more aggressive the longer he goes without sex?
Chris
2018-02-06 17:44:57 +0000 UTCHey is there any way to permanently delete save files? - Never-mind; figured it out.
TheBoldCharr
2018-02-06 03:54:25 +0000 UTCHey dyne is there any way to track the point systems in the game. I am not sure how hard that would be to implement but if love to help with the guides bit there isn't a real way to see how effective one choice is over another. Is that even something that would be possible to add?
timothy ballard
2018-02-05 22:07:23 +0000 UTCwell obviously azaghal bottoms for him
Hyou Vizer
2018-02-05 05:45:10 +0000 UTCliterally the last section of their update posts always state this and I quote "-Don't forget, the links and passwords for the update will be my first comment on the post!" - DyneWulf

2018-02-05 05:41:40 +0000 UTCwhere do you download 1.51, I pay 3 buck a month
Bloodmage77
2018-02-05 02:29:39 +0000 UTCsame here even when i restart fresh, for me it only happens when i continue to Day 21 if I've had the MC be the Top and Spencer is the bottom. I've seen Dyne just say to click "ignore" apparently, but still skips dialogue like you said :/ also love your artwork btw @__@
Hyou Vizer
2018-02-05 02:02:36 +0000 UTC<a href="http://prntscr.com/i9v63j" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://prntscr.com/i9v63j</a> been getting this error for the last couple patches during spencer's route exclusively. have any others reported this kind of issue? and is there any possible fixes to it? think it ends up skipping over lines of text so i didn't wanna continue and miss out on some dialogue
Troy
2018-02-04 07:22:46 +0000 UTCHi Dyne, don't worry about the coding issues. Take it from a developer: As long as stuff works, and you're having at least some fun coding, everything's alright. "Done and working" is sooo much more important than "perfect". Enjoy your journey!
BassPuppy
2018-02-03 11:40:09 +0000 UTCGood guy Darius, always ready to help a friend in need! Chester route was sweet as always, but I really enjoyed the Darius one once again. You made such a great work with developing his character... I just can't wait to see more of him. Backgrounds are amazing, Gavel is doing amazing job as well. Good luck with the coding!
Hyao
2018-02-03 10:43:17 +0000 UTCGorgeous visuals on IDEKA, love the animations and pulsating gifs, WE NEED animations on EA! More visuals of the characters! Omg, dreaming of Spencer animations... im feeling faint ^_^ loving the new BGs as well
2018-02-03 10:23:09 +0000 UTCi didnt like darius in the begining but with his new maine and getting to know him a bit better, im starting for fall for the cat
M1Frank
2018-02-03 05:04:04 +0000 UTCIf Darius doesn't bottom, what does he do with Azaghal?
Chris
2018-02-03 03:51:36 +0000 UTCAhhhhhh *Kermit flail* I was super excited when you mentioned a while ago that this would be a Darius (and Chester) update and once again you haven't disappointed. Darius has definitely become my fave story path out of all of them - I cannot wait to see more of where this particular route is going! <3 I noticed the comment at the end about the many branching paths and wondering which outcome we all ended up with. I'm guessing a lot of those will be affected by previous days, and not just day 17? And (he asks curiously) do you have a definite number as to the quantity of the different outcomes? Enquiring minds are interested in finding out (especially as I think I have replayed Darius' route sooo many time for different things already) :-)
Moridin1972
2018-02-02 23:39:09 +0000 UTCOkay. I'm playing the game and on Darius' route (Day 4/5) A comment by the MC says he doesn't watch much TV.... Yet there is a flat screen TV in the living room, where he could watch TV. Granted, they might not actually subscribe to cable at the Shelter or have Local Channels. It just stuck in my mind when I re-read that comment lol.
Griffonheart
2018-02-02 21:34:51 +0000 UTCdonated just to get the Darius update....wasn't disappointed, now sad that he won't get more for a while,..and now i cry.
Emmanuel Greene
2018-02-02 20:46:06 +0000 UTCAh, Darius... But he was right. It *was* an important call to make XD
Kernog
2018-02-02 20:27:00 +0000 UTCThank you, glad to hear it!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 18:02:24 +0000 UTCReally loved this update for Darius!
Ennykins
2018-02-02 16:40:53 +0000 UTCAlso, Darius and the mane... <a href="https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/392614943876317185/408912687897116672/OzRzU0t.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/392614943876317185/408912687897116672/OzRzU0t.jpg</a>

2018-02-02 09:46:42 +0000 UTCTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!
Brian Damiani
2018-02-02 08:34:27 +0000 UTCDarius's character is certainly something to behold now. He's growing a lot in all sorts of ways across a variety of routes. It's really something ;3 Annnd, irritating as it is, since I'm reworking the side-images (as I stated in my post), my aim wasn't to waste time making sure they were all correct x3 They will be obsolete soon~
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:17:39 +0000 UTCHehehe, well thank you!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:15:34 +0000 UTCHaha, I was hoping the start of his route would cause some feels there! He's definitely a complicated route to handle. The side-images aren't all correct this go either (as noted in the post). I'll be rehauling how the side-images work soon, to hopefully make life easier with them. And it's fun seeing where things are going with Chester too ;)
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:15:24 +0000 UTCAll pluses :D
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:13:20 +0000 UTCDefinitely lots of lessons learned through this one. And if anyone else could follow-up on the 2016 file, I'd appreciate it! It seems to be fine on my end.
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:13:07 +0000 UTCAhh, thank you! His sprite is gonna get an update soon too, so that will hopefully not be an issue for much longer ;D
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:12:21 +0000 UTCAs noted in the post, the side-images like those will be wrong for now. I'll be updating them soon, so I'm not as focused on setting up new ones right now.
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:11:42 +0000 UTCGavel is working wonders with them!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:10:41 +0000 UTCIt was a worry I had when we put our the demo too, but man, there was still so much more to do!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:10:30 +0000 UTCYup yup ;3 I made note of it in the post. I'll be updating that stuff soon too, so I'm not gonna waste too much time trying to get it all right at the moment. And thank you as well!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:09:39 +0000 UTCHe didn't not ;3 He does remind you of it, depending on your choices and whatnot. His route has a lot of alternate dialog paths.
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:08:22 +0000 UTCHahaha, best time to download!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 08:07:40 +0000 UTCno spoilers, this was a very sweet and fun update. chester's route: it's refreshing to see the non-asshole side to darius on other routes (though i suspect this is his way of apologizing for his exceptional dickwad moment on the courts several updates ago). chester continues to be adorable and it's nice seeing developments in both mc's job and love life. darius' route: i haven't seen the variations but let me tell you i completely love this not-as-punchable darius, his character development has probably been the best of all the love interests with his outward brashness toned down a bit (partly due to certain events and partly because he's just generally less of an asshole) and some genuine sensitivity and respect and, dare i say it, affection peeking through. only complaint, darius' dialogue icon was shaven even though his sprite had the mane, that was a little irritating, but that's a technical issue not a problem with the writing and it was pretty easy to ignore.
Vivienne
2018-02-02 08:02:14 +0000 UTCI've said it before and I will say it again. GOD DAMN I love a Darius update! Bless you Dyne this one was really great as usual and keep up the fantastic work.
Drewihd
2018-02-02 06:52:57 +0000 UTCDamn. Those BGs are sweet. I just restarted Darius' route again. Plus I love the renaming saves. It will help me know which route I've got saved.
Griffonheart
2018-02-02 05:21:17 +0000 UTCokay my opinions on the updates, first off Gravel's backgrounds are so lovely as usual +___+ SPOILER WARNING (seriously why read comments before doing the update >:P) darius: wow that song to start his day geez insta-feels, love that track. i'm doing the i guess romance route where MC won the bet and I like it so far especially him asking what kind of guy MC would be into, I'm assuming threesome since you've teased it before but I won't get my hopes too much heh. i do plan on going to make another darius file just to see the other goodies you've added if MC is distance and doesn't like him that way, losing the bet etc etc. this route has so much depth you put into it, it's insane and I love it so much for that @__@ btw darius profile pic the bottom left, its mixed up. when his main sprite has no mane, the profile pic does and vice verse main sprite has the mane, the profile pic doesn't. chester: ughhh~ the banter between MC and chester is so genuine, i love their romance dialogue wise the most of the five routes I think. him forcefully picking up MC outta no where fucking scared me, and it was so hot i love that yes more of that please o///o also how the hell does berkley stay in business......seriously haha. finally a tough call, idk which to choice "bottoming" from darius help OR not heh, really like how this is panning out tho wow
Hyou Vizer
2018-02-02 04:20:34 +0000 UTCThe Halloween2016 lnk file doesn't work for me, anyone else able to get it working? Shame you guys didn't get to finish the one last year, it seems like you bit off a bit more than you could chew. But that's something learned I guess. I hope you guys are able to get something out of it in the end!
bigfootgolem
2018-02-02 04:14:27 +0000 UTCReally enjoying the update so far, and the backgrounds are really adding to feeling of life in the world. I did notice some things with Darius' sprite, for facial hair. If he decided to keep it, there are some image errors, where it overlaps with an image, of where he'd be seen in the event where he chose not to keep it. Just thought I should let yah know Dyne.
2018-02-02 04:05:56 +0000 UTCIn the new day with Darius, I'm seeing the old picture where he's in the hospital with the bandages as a small avatar when talking with Maria.
Grawl
2018-02-02 03:51:31 +0000 UTCDamn props to the background artist really brings life to the scenes we get.
Alex
2018-02-02 03:44:03 +0000 UTCThanks... one could tell when you released the demo, that that game would take a lot more than 1 month to be developed. That was an ambitious project and I hope your team will manage to make games like that in the future.
Ron
2018-02-02 03:43:09 +0000 UTCLol, not sure if others are having it, but when Dar is supposed to keep his mane he doesn't have it in his icon, and vice versa when he gets rid of it. Always love a Darius update, thanks Dyne!

2018-02-02 03:40:38 +0000 UTCDid Darius forget about the bet? I was looking forward to... ahem... sending him something.

2018-02-02 02:28:39 +0000 UTCThanks so much! It was a lingering stress we had, and it's a bit of a relief to have it out there now. It's still sad that we had to go that way. I think we all learned a lot from that too!
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 02:25:14 +0000 UTCAhhh, thank you very much. I'm glad that you find my work that enjoyable <3
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 02:24:29 +0000 UTCAwesome update as always Dyne <3 , really enjoyed seeing more deeply into Darius and I'm really curious as to who the thief is at CritikalStrike and whether there's gonna be any big confrontations with the other staff members. Its a shame about IDEKA but just the way it goes sometimes, just gotta keep moving forward.
Naesaki Ashwell
2018-02-02 02:24:07 +0000 UTCHmm, what places? I had to readjust the clicking for say... Spencer's home and the Locker Room on Coach's scene, but I havne't adjusted anything elsewhere.

jovuan Jackson
2018-02-02 02:04:39 +0000 UTCit's probably for the best that the project's been axed instead of staying in development hell, it was a really ambitious project and those sometimes don't work out, but you should be proud of yourself for shooting that high! it's like katya says: shoot for the moon. if you miss, you'll die in outer space, which is cool.
Vivienne
2018-02-02 02:02:59 +0000 UTCI'm sorry about your project, but thank you very much for your work, I know you work hard, and I do not intend to ask for a refund. This story that you bring every month with extracurricular activities is more than enough for me so thank you again
Chema
2018-02-02 01:53:56 +0000 UTCFor some reason it is now necessary to move the mouse a little with the mouse button down to get some of the game's buttons to work. Clicking is ignored otherwise in many places.

2018-02-02 01:53:15 +0000 UTCAhh, thank you so much for that :)
DyneWulf
2018-02-02 01:47:29 +0000 UTCI glad for the update and even more new addition of BG's and Music... can't wait to see it!!! Apologies to the unfinished work and the efforts. Just knowing everyone is appreciating and loving everything you are doing.

2018-02-02 01:11:34 +0000 UTCThank you Dyne. It is unfortunate it would not be finished yet the work done on it was more than phenomenal. You all work very hard and we all appreciate it. Thank you once more for the update and your have a wonderful evening, as you have just made mine.
