Is the neutral Path the same as Love Path??? If not, what is the difference because as a Player i felt left out with the last few Scenes with Karl and Lisa (no choices with impact)...! I want him to leave her alone and i want her to distance herself from this A**h**e. :unsure: Can someone please make a mod with a "faithful only" switch?? :LOL::LOL:
hello, I will rename both options in the future
Karl's way will become-the way "Karl blackmails Adam"
Neutral way-the way "No blackmail"

In other words, if you choose a neutral path, then regardless of your game branch (NTR, NTS or love), you will not have Karl's blackmail, you will play on your own branch without this event.

Yeah, I was honestly surprised when I saw the game here because I remember it should only be available at the end of the month, but I guess those are the risks of having the game on a pirate website and I would probably guess it will not be last time it happens. I remember the same happening to Netorase Phone and then it wasn't leaked for a few updates only for it to get leaked again last update.
In any case, I will release 0.6 with all the fixes and new technical mechanics (changing the names of MC and FMC ) on March 25th, so if it is interesting to play without bugs and errors - welcome

Hey Tap. Thank you for your response. I did try out the "Neutral Way"....but i wasn t sure what it exactly means. I thought that the Neutral Way would be a Path where the Status Quo were reached (no ntr/nts; love at minimum; both parties (husband and wife) doesn t care about eachother); Thats my definition of a Neutral Way! :D Thanks for clearing that up. So..if i want to stay on the faithful path, sometimes i have to choose the neutral way. Check! (y)

Hello and thank you for your extensive feedback!
Can you tell me what you mean by better content in my case?

Regarding point 3, yes, there is a bug that I haven't fixed yet with the wrong dialog in the neutral branch. But at the expense of thoughts I did not understand, please reveal exactly where the bug is, and better with screenshots in the BOS as you did last time, it helped me a lot

Regarding the cheat code, someone already suggested this idea above, I'm still thinking about it, I'll probably make a vote on petreon whether to introduce this into the game
The best content is like a figure of speech, it's just that if you want to, for example, raise the prices of your product, you have to raise the quality, the same one path for example the Love Path in this update took 10 minutes and as i said above the clifenger has one and OG for all paths, but these are options, its for you to decide for yourself what to do!

The thoughts of the MC that pop up during the deals at one point in the NTR path he thought about Lisa squatting in front of Karl and her eye at the level of his dick, but this picture appeared only after a couple of lines of text, at another point the thoughts on the black background did not disappear as usual, but hung and the text according to the plot goes further
I'll look it tomorrow and send you PM!

Taptus, just do your thing. You can learn technical stuff etc., but it's your vision as far as the content is concerned.

GL and do not be discouraged. Uphills and downhills are all part of the process of getting anything worthwhile done.

For those guys hating the "blackmail" surprise. Would it have pissed off you less if the path wasnt called "karl path" but "blackmail path"? So that you know what you chose?

My sentiments exactly. Keep up the good work and do not be discouraged. Your work so far is very promising and it will get better with each cycle.

Look into previous comments. Taptus already said that it was pointed out by the patreon subscribers and that a rename would have been made in time of the public version releasing, but since it got leaked the paths name remained unchanged.

Nice, but the plot will develop for a very long time. Aaron, talk about open relationships, etc. 2-3 parts or more will pass before Lisa becomes ours

Can you tell me how I can get this tag? Where do I need to contact?
First way is to simply PM a System Admin or Moderator, there are usually several Online all the time. Secondly you can always open a ticket with the button at the top next to Forums. In my experience F95 staff is generally very fast, as in hours instead of days to respond to a ticket. I think they'll ask you to link your Patreon page and perhaps verify via e-mail, don't know the whole process since I've never had to get that tag before I only read about others getting it. Hope you'll get it sorted soon!

Phone Story is an interesting, well-written game that captured my attention as I went through it the other day. Despite some hiccups with consistency, the story mostly flows naturally and deviates slightly with different choices. There are some bugs such as, but not limited to, the thought bubbles popping up early or erroneously remaining on the screen for too long as mentioned by others earlier, but overall it's been mostly a smooth experience. Images are sprinkled into the phone conversations in an adequate pace in a believable manner, but would still prefer to bump that up a notch. There were some fascinating revelations in the story such as Adam's report from last year, or Lisa's behavior in college, or just the character of Mark in general. For their first foray into h-game development, Taptus is doing a pretty good job! Looking forward to see how they'll take the ball from here!

In addition to what Darth have said, arguably the quickest and easiest way is to simply self-report yourself (using the Report button on one of your posts) and state that you're the game developer of Phone Story while linking your Boosty and Patreon pages in the additional space provided on the popup. Usually takes a day or two for the staff to verify. Cheers and good luck!

Dont... You're doing a good job on your own. Dont try to apease everyone you'll end up apeasing no one. I would advise yout to hold onto your creative integrity.

one more thing. If the game is worth pirating you have a good product on your hands. Consider this a compliment not something to be demotivated by.
Correct. Taptus: Don't get in your own way. Your game is very good. I know so many developers whose games are leaked here early on and whose supporters still increase from month to month. I would perhaps think about the level prices. For a (very good) phone game, $15 is quite high for some people, but that way many people who don't know your game will get hold of it and you'll get more supporters. Watch that.

That's a good change, because me as the player choosing freedom and lust, while keeping love high and then just get hit with that is honestly bullshit.

I mean, aside from the fact that there is no reason either? Feels like there were quite a few hints that he could make a move without me being against him, so him just coming out of the blue with the blackmail was kinda like "The fuck dude, you get a free road without speed limit, why you shooting at the police?" ...

Hello! Thank you for your extensive comment and kind words about my game! I will try to make more pictures in new additions, I already understood that it is very important for people. Thanks for your advice on getting new rights on the forum, I will work on getting them today.
