Update 1.25

Hey guys! Here's my middle of the month update. Please keep in mind this one isn't like a normal update due to the Halloween Project I'm working on with CursedMarked. With that said, what have I done then?


~ Spencer Day 13 - Decided to go ahead and work a bit more with Spencer. You guys get to have a little bit more fun on his route, so here you go. Kinda see some of his... playful side if you play your cards right.

~ UI Tweaks again! I had some suggestions come through from SBlake (Be sure to check him out on Twitter~ https://twitter.com/SBlake_FA), and I really liked a lot of them, so I've implemented some big changes to the UI (like the Day counter he did!). Most of them you'll see just by playing through Spencer's newest day, but one you won't see unless you hit up Spencer's Day 3 again. But, if you do that, you'll see a few other tweaks along the way with the names. I got to learn some new things along the way, so there might be some issues with it here and there, but it's still a work in progress! I really would love to hear what you guys think of the changes as usual.

~ Hopefully, most of the image issues through Chester's and Darius's routes, I got knocked out, and I fixed that one variable issue from Day 4 with Chester as well. Lots of typos, a few inconsistency errors I fixed, and I added some Andrew sprites through Chester's route. Some minor stuff fixed for this update.

That's about all I have to report for now! These next couple of weeks might be nothing but work on this special project. I have a lot to get done, so I might not have an EA update at the end of the month to go along with the special we are doing, but I'll try to get something put out with Extracurricular Activities as well!

Thanks a lot guys, and as always, be sure to let me know what you all think (especially on the UI changes!).

Here ya go! https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2n2iholttf7w7x/ExtracurricularActivities-1.25-allz.zip?dl=0

For the new folks, please be sure to read my FAQ before sending me questions.

Well, you can delete your save files by just hovering the mouse over the save and then hitting delete. After that, just starting a new game will start over like you've done nothing.

DyneWulf

hey i was just wondering, is there a way to do a full reset of the game? everytime i download a new version and want to start from 0 i cant , the saves are still there and i just kinda want to be able to wipe all input i had

Diego Garza

Normally, Spence and Coach get updated at the same time, buuuut since I only did one this time around...!

DyneWulf

and on that note, it's neat how spencer reacts to mc accepting bam's invitation, that could mean so many different things; on the surface it looks like he just brushed it off and then decided to be playful and flirty, but it could be his jealous side coming out in a sexual territorial way rather than an angry way, or even a slightly insecure side reacting to the realization that mc is a horny pervert and that he might have to up his sexiness lest he lose mc to someone like bam or darius (oh the potential drama if that's the case). idk how he reacts if mc is lower on the love points but that'll be interesting to find out

Vivienne

can't say much more than what everyone else has been saying, (eg loved spencer's update and think the new text format is very nice). what i mainly loved was that this was mc's first time working again in any route! i'm slightly tempted to see what happens if he screws it up but the secondhand embarrassment is too much to even try, especially since i've been in that situation of going into food service after a long time not having a job. idk, it's just really nice to see mc somewhat back on his feet. now onto spencer's night, i loved how much variety there was, so many different outcomes to different choices; wear charlie's hat or not, accept bam's advances or turn him down, keep going with the act or surrender, this was a pretty packed update!

Vivienne

many expected to see something on coach, but fine I gonna try more on Spencer route ^ ^ I still have no feed back cause what I expected is I was told you last time.(1.24), cya dyne XD

Edgaa

Really ? I have my name in white with a black outline.

Vic Viper

Short but pretty sweet update overall I think. Would love a sprite for Charlie, but oh well. The new UI does bring some more air into the overall look of the screen which is nice. I do have one problem though and it is that MCs name is in black, making very hard so properly see in certain environments. I like the idea of different characters having different colors helping to quickly identifying who is speaking. But I would request that MCs name changes to a more clearly visibly color than black. His name does come up the most after all. :)

Rahal

Woo boy, another good post. Well, firstly, thanks for choosing to support me! Glad to see you enjoy the UI changes, and when it comes to the music... that's still a really big endeavor. I haven't focused as much on it lately, but I really do need to get some more put in. A lot of good input here too, and it makes me think I should add more in about the MCs family. It really is past time to introduce that little bit I suppose. Thank you for all the feedback here! It's nice to see what people like about each route and things they'd like to see in future updates.

DyneWulf

Hmm, Chester's last one should be the one of him holding the towel. If it isn't showing up, I might have messed up the code for it.

DyneWulf

I can't get the last outfit for Chester. I got the extra scene, but no outfit. Did I do something wrong?

Zachary Maynard

I never said "please change it", plus I'm not upset by the turn itself, just puzzled and interested by how it will turn out to be in the next updates. If I'm upset about anything, it's the lack of choice in a setup where anyone could object to, this could've been the other way around. And yes, they're 20 year olds. So what ? It doesn't change anything. Spencer's entire character is not defined by the term "young gay adult". Spencer being pervy is not a problem as long as it makes sense in his characterization, and my previous posts are trying to make that have some sense, if you've followed. Also it's called "criticism", and criticism help artists, you can't help an artist by saying that everything is pitch perfect. Pointing out things like that might help artists think of some things they haven't thought of before and giving them new ideas, even if it's just anecdotes it helps, hell if I was truly that upset I wouldn't have pledged like 110$ since last year.

Vic Viper

I'm interested in reading the story the the artists makes it. Not in others influencing It. if that's the case I'll pay more money for it to become ball slapping barebacking hardcore furry porn lol also when u get upset that there being pervy they aren't 50 there in there early 20s yeah. Have u ment gay 20 year olds.

furry81

You think it might be possible that Spencer thinks that MC is more in love with his "bad boy" persona than he is the real thing? That the MC might get bored with him if he doesn't put on a show for him? I mean they knew each other for years and only now that Spencer has broken out of his shell and embraced something that wouldn't be attributed to his character in a million years, that he's now able to move forward in any type of romantic relationship with MC at all. Although I do have to agree with your point on how the MC just kind of accepts what Spencer and Charlie do to him, I do think the bit of alcohol in his system (since all drinks made at Dynamite Springs are harsher on the alcohol) might have had a bit of influence on him. I'm just hoping I'm not right about the speculation of Spencer feeling like MC is more interested in his pervy side than he is the outward best friend he's had for years. Also thought I'd bring up that he openly called MC his boyfriend in front of Bam at work, even though he expressed that not everyone needs to know, and with him then comparing Darius and Bam, I feel like he might just be more open to doing these sorts of things in his work setting. I mean, why hide it from Darius to then compare Darius to Bam, stating their similarites and letting Bam know that you're in a relationship with them.

The UI is simple but nice, and more Spencer ? What else ? ...well I gotta admit, I'm not much of a fan of this update, even as a Spence fanboi, I'm kinda starting to see some cracks here and there. To me, there's no better example than this day that MC, on any choice, is waaaaay too okay at being involved in Spence's job by default, and I don't mean I want the MC to call it a "whore job" or have simply the "Bothered" choice content, but something more along the lines of "Look, Spence, you like this job, good for you, you want me around for personal support, I'm not jealous, I understand, totally fine, but it's definitely not my thing, so stop having me be involved in these shows." Also there's a bit of a dissonance between him at the club and him during the day, which makes me wonder ; how much of the real Spence is there before me at Dynamite Springs ? I don't know if him being all naughty is a part of his personality now, or part of his "try-hard to be a bad boy" shtick that's maybe being used to attract the MC (after all, MC admitted his love for Spence right after he was introduced to his work, maybe Spence got the wrong idea), in the latter case it definitely has the reverse effect on me, I'm under the impression he's trying too hard to be something he's not. This day he doesn't hesitate putting himself & the MC on display in a public place without the latter's approval, and no hesitation about groping intimate parts (inside the lounge or on stage), and the day before he calls you out for making a simple bad pervy pun and calling you "Darius" for it. It's probably part of "keeping up the act" for people not to recognize Spence so the naughty personality at the club is all a faΓ§ade, and.. it's probably working too well. I don't mind the little slaps on the butt at all, of course he's a tease if anything it's funny, but I really feel for MC in the "I didn't (have rush at all, if anything I felt embarrassed)" choice, even as a naturally shy person and with all respect I have for him, I almost wanted to slap Spence for this. It's not a question about being confident or not, it's just that Spence assumes the MC is totally fine with the club, while he could only be here for Spence and not the attractions, much like the MC can be totally disinterested into Dozer's interests. Now if I was in the MC's shoes during the whole thing with Charlie & Spence, either my face would've screamed "TERRIFIED", or I would've not let myself be dragged on stage because I don't like the practice, so anyway it's a loss for me, Spence, Charlie, and the audience. I dunno, I'm probably the only one who's growing indifferent towards Dynamite Springs, I find myself liking the club less and less as the updates get released. I'm sure most people liked this update so for once I'm the odd one and the buzzkill, just saying Spence, you don't have to play the bad boy to entice me. In fact that could be the basis for a "conflict", since some people have problems with this route because of that ; What one expects from the other Vs what's actually there, what if Spence is actually idealizing the MC and being blinded by the past image he has of him ? Well, maybe in the future this day won't bother me, maybe I'm simply overreacting now and on a second reading I won't be bothered by it.

So, having gone from the public demo to 1.24 to 1.25 in the past few days, here's what I've got so far. Apologies for the length of the post. The UI changes have been great, with the latest text box change looking really good, and the day counter being a nice touch as well, giving everything a better feel bit by bit. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the "Theme of Maria" kicking in during Dozer and Darius' routes, only to be a little bummed when it didn't appear in any of the others. More background music/ambience in general is always nice, but that's just me, and I know it's hardly a vital thing at this stage. As for the routes themselves: Dozer: Been nice and mellow so far. Down-to-earth and enjoyable, though it's a shame that Dozer practically drops off the face of the planet in every other route for the most part. One thing I liked is that Dozer is the only one so far to directly ask about the MC's family, which is quickly shut down. I hope that it comes up again, at least in Coach's route, where it's slightly hinted at, and Spender's route, who would likely be aware of any issues with the MC's family. Nice range of locations and topics, even for a short route. Looking forward to more! Darius: Darius does certain things in other routes that make me want to punch him sometimes, be he seems a bit less abrasive to me in his own route. It's nice to have the option of giving the MC your own approach to the situation with Darius. Though Spencer eating at the cafeteria and the MC not getting the chance to help Maria at the shelter seemed off, given all the other routes, but I'm guessing that each route is self-contained and allow for slight differences like that. It was nice to see Spencer in a support role in this route since Darius tends to be in a secondary "support" role in some of the other routes. The brief bit about his past and why he views sex the way he does make me interested to see more in the future. Chester: This route was a pleasant surprise. I played the route first on my own, and then again with the guide. Both were very different experiences, which makes me happy to know the game will have a good amount of replay value overall. Makes me want to go back and try some of those other options I passed up, even if they might end up being super awkward. Glad to see that the relationship with him is a slow burn, and that they actually discuss future...Activities given his size. Given all the different "morphs," as the game called them, it's a believable conversation to have since they might not all have similar equipment. Just a big, sweet guy all around. Curious to see how the relationship and future run-ins with Vernon and Andrew go. Plus Maria still needs to meet him. Coach Grifter: Like with Chester's route, I played this one first on my own and then with the guide. Two very different experiences, along with events that I flat-out didn't see the first time around. The line "It made your heart swell to hear someone say they were proud of you" really makes me hope that the MC's own family gets brought up at some point, especially since the MC has seen a bit of Harold's past relationship at this point. Struck me as a little odd that one of Dianna's reasons for leaving was Harold's bisexuality, and yet when he mentioned to her that he's started seeing the MC, there isn't really a reaction. Granted her mind was elsewhere, but for some reason that stuck out. Darius kinda makes me want to punch him in this one, first with the jealousy attempt, and then his seemingly blithe reaction to everything when the MC and Spencer explain the situation before investigating Harold's second disappearance. I could be missing something, though. Overall it's nice to see the MC taking on such a caring role, and though Harold asking MC to be his boyfriend when he's at his most emotionally vulnerable was worrying, the scenes between them were handled pretty well overall. A lot of interactions between the two are sweet, especially with Harold's occasional child-like enthusiasm about certain things, like food. Can't wait to see more of the big guy. Spencer: Probably my favorite route so far. Might seem a bit on the "safe" side and a tad sweet and sappy at times, but I like sweet and sappy. It probably wasn't the intention, but I can't help but imagine the MC as having minor psychic connections to Spencer in his sleep, as during the third dream it's revealed that Spencer has been having similar dreams, and there's no way the MC could have known about the lumberjack get-up by the first dream otherwise. Again, probably not the intention, but I like to imagine there are hints of the supernatural there. I like the overall theme of coming clean between them, and the understanding between them is refreshing. It did seem very odd to me that Spencer never once brought up the MC's parents when he revealed he was living at a shelter, but in Spencer's case I suppose he would know about any issues with the MC's family. Even still, I hope the two discuss it at some point. Also looking forward to the guide for Spencer; I got drastically different results from Coach and Chester upon using their guides, so I'm curious to see how it effects Spencer's route next time. A few things I'd like to comment on that I noticed across all routes. Maria: You have a great support character here. Thoughtful and quick on the uptake, but also a tad mischievous in a way that doesn't seem obnoxious, at least to me. It still makes me grin when the MC tells her that he and Spencer have been friends for a long time, and her face lights up as she puts it all together that Spence is the one he's crushing on. She and Darius are nice different takes on the support role. I still think she's more helpful, though. A little surprised that she didn't see through Darius' facade on his route given how quick on the uptake she tends to be otherwise, but then his route still has a ways to go. As much as she tries to play Little Miss Matchmaker, she does seem to genuinely want the MC to be happy, and she works well as a support. MC: I like the MC's overall attitude. Decent mix of pervy and thoughtful. I do wish more about his own life was revealed, especially about his family. And possibly interactions with the rest of the team if he hasn't tried to romance them to see how they normally act around one another. Overall, the whole thing has been a nice experience. Very much looking forward to more!

What are we gonna see from him next? x3 And yes, it will be!

DyneWulf

Mmm, it is about time for Coach to have an update, huh?

DyneWulf

Should be Darius. Day 4, I do believe.

DyneWulf

Which character is that 6th special scene with?

Dkrewe

Another update that isn't coach husbando ; v;. Well,I can play with the other husbandos for now >w

Myokuju

Woof!! spencer is a hottie its a fun story to play. the clean cut dog is as naughty as darius but dosent admit it. hes still shy tho he rubs the main guys hard on on the stage then kisses him on the cheek after lol good update look forward to more. will the halloween project be on your page??

furry81

Good to know! Sadly, with the Day counter, I have to go through and edit each day for it, and I just didn't get around to doing it for every day yet. I wanted to test things first to see what people thought ;3 So far, it's been good!

DyneWulf

I love the UI update! It looks super slick and you can see the characters much better. I also like the day counter on the top right. However, I was recently playing through Coach Grifter's story again, and when I went on to Day 3 Wednesday, the day counter didn't update

Thanks for the input on the UI. I don't know if I'll use a visual for the point system though, since it's more of something hidden ;3 As for the Day counter, I have to manually go through an add it to every day, and I only got so far into it. That will get fixed! A guide for Spence will be coming soon. That'll be something I start to work on in my free time.

DyneWulf

I plan on doing one!

DyneWulf

HAha, glad you liked that! I really wanted to keep working on both projects, but with how much focus I need to put into just one... I just don't know if I can divide my attention.

DyneWulf

Would it be possible to have a Spencer guide like Chester had in the last update? Only when you'll have the time of course :)

Archangel

Talk about improvement! The new UI is very good. It gives breathe to the screen and allow better look to the character sprites. I also saw the notification of 'item get' when MC get money from Maria, it was also very good and welcomed. Maybe something like that could be added for the point system at some point? Also, I know it was just implemented but I played Spencer route again, and the Day counter as missing in all the middle days, but present at the starting days and day 13 of Spencer. I don't know if it was because it wasn't implemented in all days or some bug. Also, maybe because I played the route again in a rush, but I couldn't trigger Spencer extra scene in the dance class and Tai giving MC money at the club. They didn't get removed weren't they? Probably it was just me getting the wrong choices. A guide for Spencer's heart could be useful by now ;]

Brooding

New UI looks great, but that Spencer update killed it. *Husbando wars intensify* Seriously though, that scene with Charlie and Spencer was pretty great. Makes me feel like MC could come to understand Spencer better through having experienced a showing like that and lead to a more open relationship between them. (Since it began with them not really being able to fully talk). Even though I'm sad there won't be much EA for a while, I'll keep my hopes up for mid November to come quick, and for the extra bit of content come Halloween.

Thank you ;3

DyneWulf

Good good! Glad to hear it. Thanks :D

DyneWulf

Well, glad there's something to help while you're feeling under the weather then! Those two would certainly cause trouble for Spence. What kinds of errors and where? I ran through several times, and didn't get any myself.

DyneWulf

And I thought this was going to be a Dozer update xD I enjoyed it quite a bit! To see this playful side of Spencer was interesting and a blessing as well, especially since I'm a bit sick today. If Bam and Darius ever team up to tease Spencer, I think he would totally lose it. Either that or go incognito for a few days! x) Although I do have to mention that there were quite a few times in which I'd get errors that made me skip a few dialogue lines and such. Other than that, everything ran very smoothly. Liked the new aditions that were added such as the Day Counter. It fit really nice ^^

Blueferreira

Definitely loving the new looking UI, very crisp! Loved the update as well, I knew Spencer wouldn't like to share, really adorable. Keep up the amazing work!

BadTech Games

I just saw the word Spencer and I knew my night was going to be awesome. You're the best DyneWulf, I love your work <3

Archangel

Happy to see that even with the project with CursedMarked, there was time to give us some Spencer love. And UI tweaks! Nice!

Brooding

You had me at Spencer <3
