If you purchase the current version here on itch.io, you will get access to all future updates here (if there are ever going to be any).
As far as I understand Patreon's purchase mechanic, it will be the same over there.
From my own experience, if you're a Patreon supporter, you will get access to the game download on Patreon for as long as you are a paying supporter. After that you won't have access to the download.
The versions are identical on Patreon and itch.io.
This game is finished. There are no more updates planned. (Only if one of the characters wins any of the yearly community votes, they'd get a new special scene.)
It's a known bug. However, it seems to be rather elusive. I don't think it's going to get any better (in terms of bugfixes). When you notice your cursor missing at the start (it should be visible even in the startup loading screen), try reloading by pressing F5. Repeatedly if necessary. (That way you can restart in quick succession.)
Translated with deepl.com: Does anyone know what the final scene says?
Why ask this in a thread that's over a year old and about a different topic? Which scene do you mean? The pool party scene with all 3 women lined up or the image when leaving the pool party? The pool party scene itself has dialogue that's rather irrelevant to the overall story.
When leaving the pool party, Julie reveals that she bought plane tickets for everyone to some tropic place. As it turns out there is also a ticket for Linda's mom. This entire scene is basically a teaser for a continuation of the House Chores story.
¿Por qué preguntas esto en un hilo que tiene más de un año y trata sobre un tema diferente? ¿A qué escena te refieres? ¿A la escena de la fiesta en la piscina con las tres mujeres alineadas o a la imagen cuando se van de la fiesta? La escena de la fiesta en la piscina tiene un diálogo que es bastante irrelevante para la historia en general.
Al salir de la fiesta en la piscina, Julie revela que ha comprado billetes de avión para todos a algún lugar tropical. Además, también hay un billete para la madre de Linda. Toda esta escena es básicamente un adelanto de la continuación de la historia de House Chores.
If you purchase the game on PayPal you will have access to a download link there. Updates are always published on itch and PayPal simultaneously. You don't have to pay for future updates.
I can't comment on why the last free release (that being v0.20) isn't available for download. But everything from v1.0 and onward is paid only. (However, you only needed to pay once and got any further updates as part of that payment.)
Interactions & Transitions: You are asked to type in a name for Linda at the very start of the game twice in a row.
Interactions & Transitions: Time doesn’t advance with most variations of the v1.2.1 epilogue scene.
Graphics / Display: Part of Emilies floatie in the pool party is missing.
Text: Typo at the end of the nighttime pool variation of the v1.2.1 epilogue scene.
Issues have been changed.
Graphics / Display: Location change when continuing the "admiration" scene with Linda in the maid outfit in the day.
Graphics / Display: Missing text box when arranging a date night with Julie in the morning.
Text: Variables n[11] and n[12] sometimes not making sense when they’re set to "me" has been reworded.
Addressed / fixed issues have been removed.
Continuity: Interactions in earlier scenes not reflecting the current relation with that character.
Continuity: Multiple instances of characters not responding to story progression with other characters during scenes (especially worrying about being caught by others even after already being found out)
Graphics / Display: The "admiration" scene with Linda in her maid outfit in the day showing the wrong clothes. Finishing this scene without a full scene not updating the dining room graphics correctly even though time advances.
Graphics / Display: Dialogue box and info box errors when talking to Emily directly after being caught by Linda.
Minor issues: Character info being outdated and/or inconsistent was removed due to clarifications by the developer.
Minor issues: PC’s relations to the women being unchangeable when their relation to the PC was a specific word.
Minor issues: Complete absence of Linda’s husband has been removed due to lack of importance.
I can't comment on why the last free release (that being v0.20) isn't available for download. But everything from v1.0 and onward is paid only. (However, you only needed to pay once and got any further updates as part of that payment.)
Thank you for the clarifications. I will take another look in the following days and update my feedback post accordingly. It's always nice to see a project finished but I'm going to miss the new content updates. I will keep waiting to see these characters again sometime in the future, especially Emily. :D
As far as I know, 1.2 will be the final update. However, Siren has stated that they want to re-visit these characters eventually. Additionally, there are works for another story within this neighborhood that takes place some time before House Chores.
As far as I know, the animations are only available as part of the Legendary Patreon supporter tier. So you would need to "subscribe" to that tier at least once to get those rewards.
(Translated into English using deepl.com) I think the game has come a long way, so it shouldn't only have one language. Spanish and Portuguese speakers want a language section where they can change the game's language. I think you could collaborate with third parties to add other languages. I wouldn't mind paying more for that.
As far as I know, there are currently no plans of adding official translations to the game. Por lo que sé, actualmente no hay planes de añadir traducciones oficiales al juego.
As far as I understand it, as it currently stands, the game still awaits its manual review. Until then, downloading the game from itch seems to be a game of chance (apparently the current version is supposed to be downloadable from your library if you've purchased any v1.0 or later version. But several comments have pointed out that this doesn't seem to work...)
Therefore it's only available on Patreon right now. Since there's apparently no way for Patreon to know wether you've already purchased the game on itch or not, you'd need to purchase it on Patreon again. Siren is aware that this affects a lot of people but unfortunately there's nothing really they could do about this problem. (However, once you've purchased the game on Patreon, future updates will be free, just as they were here on itch.)
I'd guess, wait for the 1.1.5 update, then take a look here and on Patreon if the new version should be available on itch and if it actually is. If it turns out that Siren can't update the game here on itch while it's delisted, then the only other way would be to purchase the game again on Patreon.
As Siren stated in their latest v1.1.5 First Look post on Patreon, they don't know themselves if it's possible to release updates for the game here on itch at this moment.
As far as I understand it, as it currently stands, the game is only available on Patreon. However, from what I've heard, users should still be able to download the games they've purchased here on itch. But I'm not sure if Siren can actually push updates here anymore as long as the game is blocked.
Continuity: More examples of characters not responding to the current state of story progress.
Continuity: Different voices has been condensed.
Text: New instances of Julie being referred tob y n[12] instead of n[6].
Suggestion: "Continue" option for Emily’s visit scene in player’s bedroom (and the same scene in her bedroom at night).
Adressed / fixed issues have been removed.
Continuity: One example for characters not responding to the current state of story progress was removed because it was resolved (Emily’s v0.14 scene after events of v0.20).
Graphics & Display: Golden apple in player’s cupboard not changing colour during nighttime.
Text: One instance of Julie being referred to by n[12] instead of n[6] was resolved.
Minor issues: Length of routes (e. g. player’s bedroom to the laundry room) being tedious was removed due to lack of importance.
Suggestions: Interactions for all women in player’s bedroom.
I'll just leave it at "play the game completely" since I don't want to spoil anything. However, let's just say that at least some of your expectations will be met. ;D
I more or less agree with basically everything you wrote. There's a pool scene with Julie in the daytime, a scene between Julie & Linda at night, and that's it. You could count the "Valencia" special scene with Linda because it obviously takes place in the equivalent of the pool, but in my opinion that's a stretch since the pool isn't of any interest during the actual scene.
More scenes for any of the 3 would be nice, no matter if before or after reaching a certain point in the relationship. There are only scenes with Linda in the bathroom and the dining room technically has none (there are Emily's RPG-inspired scenes and Julie's date night, but none of them actually take place in the dining room). There is no option in your bedroom to fantasise about Julie or Emily and Emily doesn't have a visit scene in your bedroom. A real scene with just Julie & Emily would also be nice.
There's still so much potential for more scenes, and there are even hints for new content in the dialogue. And a lot of sketches in the gallery look really nice and interesting. I just wish that all of this doesn't stay as "an idea for possible future content that was never expanded upon".
This is a known bug in low quality mode and is said to be fixed with the next update v1.1 which is currently planned for late June. Until then, try switching to high quality mode for this interaction.
