My New Household

Kinda weird how the unpatched version of this game has done some sort of search and replace magic and changed everyone to tenants and landlords and old landladies (whatever the hell that is) and a television show called "Household Guy" which looks oddly familiar.

I mean, if itch has a policy against publishing stuff with incest content, honestly, that's fine with me; I don't really see the appeal. I mean, I don't fantasize about tribbing with my sisters.

But here's a suggestion (take it or leave it) on how your game could be playable (and actually make sense) out of the box with minimal effort:

In the non-incest version, add in a line about how "your parents thought they couldn't have children before your mum realised your dad was an asshole and she adopted you." Or something like that.

And boom, no longer technically incest, but you can still call your half sisters "half sisters" and your mother "mother" and it's still kind of taboo to sleep with an adopted sibling, so the story doesn't even have to change. Except maybe that one scene where the protagonist and his sisters wonder why he doesn't have red hair.

Like I said, take it or leave it. I like that the incest is optional but as it stands, while the story is pretty good, it suffers from the readability issues you get when you just do a mass find and replace.

Like seriously, it's an unreadable mess that only makes sense if you translate the words back to what they probably were originally as you read it. No offence.

Dude, I literally posted the patch for it about 4 or 5 posts down from this one, I'll post it again:

You're right about incest being against Itch rules, therefore the Dev, Killer7, can't post the link on this page so some nice friendly internet-dweller has made this one.

Hope that goes some way to helping you get over the 'readability issues' it caused you :)

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, but I actually already saw your post before I commented.

I'm not complaining that there's a patch to enable incest content. I'm not gonna kink-shame anyone that's into that.

My point was that it's borderline incomprehensible without the patch. Like, isn't it frustrating that everyone on here is like "what the hell, this don't make no sense" and you're like "here's the patch that fixes that, yet again"

If some people (including Itch and Patreon, apparently) don't like the idea of inbreeding, all I'm saying is fixing it without making it unreadable is actually easier than what Killer7 has done, and you can still have a patch to make it actual incest if that's your thing (no judgement).

ahhh, my bad then dude, I misunderstood where you were coming from with it, my apologies if I caused offense.

I guess part of the problem is that Killer7 would have to remake pretty much all the code in the game to accommodate a 'SFW' version and rework the android versions as well as the PC/Mac ones whilst simultaneously working on his other game, My New Memories. Looking at it, it looks like it might just be a bit too much (at the moment - who knows what will happen when My New Family is fully completed after the Epilogue update that is coming next) for one Dev to do.

But again, my apologies for my misunderstanding you.

No offence taken. You're just trying to help, after all.

All I was saying is that he's obviously working on the incest version and replacing the dialogue with incomprehensible sanitized dialogue after the fact. Your patch just changes it back. How about instead of replacing all the dialogue, he adds one or two lines at the beginning and deletes a couple lines elsewhere and leaves everything else the exact same?

Seems like less work to me than sanitizing every line of dialogue in the game, but I may be wrong. My Python is not that great.

<"it's still kind of taboo to sleep with an adopted sibling"> well that depends on the country you live in and the Green Party in Germany has tried for years to make sex between family members a legal thing.

As weird as that sounds to me, I can't help wondering if maybe I'm the unenlightened one.

Relax. Its weird for me too, also I have to admit, that I had some dreams about my aunt  when I was a young boy and many of my friends told me that they had sneak peeks on their sister.
