I appreciate it, but I thought I'd leave it so I could let people appreciate the comment.

Six seeeven!

The nice guy/asshole endings are the plan, but I actually wanted to make the asshole path begin sooner, so the next update I'm working on now will be called The Bad Reputation update where you can be more of a jerk in the game, especially within the club.

The two paths will offer some different interactions with the girls, and will lock a few of the girls in one path vs the other, but most will still be available on both.

Yep! It's not available yet and will be in a future update.

Happy to try! What's the issue?

Hell yeah!

The download works for PC and Mac, but on mobile the images don't load, as the game is built in HTML.

I tried several times to convert it to a version that works in Android, but it got too technical for my dumbass.

There was before the recent payment processor fiasco. Itch is still looking for a new one, but until then it looks like we're stuck with only PayPal.

My friend, I believe the web version is going to make you pretty happy.

Finally, some focus on the booty!
Well done, can't wait for more.

Currently I'm working on the next Endowed update, after which I'll be getting back to work on Hypnosis.

Glad to hear it! 

Yeah the premium version stays one update ahead and has some bonus content like an in game walkthrough and whatnot. 

When you're playing a new version it depends on the platform. On Android I believe you can generally replace the version in order to carry over saves, but for PC and Mac you generally delete old versions and download the new one, and saves carry over (for both the premium and public versions).

Some games are back in the search option, but itch is working to bring back more of them.

I'm hoping the game page is restored, but if that doesn't happen I plan to find some way to get new updates to people who purchased the premium edition. 

There is, it's available for early access on Patreon and Subscribestar

I was talking about Ash, as she has blue hair, yeah.

She's introduced through Cat later in her path.

You mean are there other games featuring cumflation and inflation? There are a few, and the first one that comes to mind is the game Insatiable which is linked under "similar games" on my creator page.

Ah, sorry to hear it. Not sure how that happened though. Were you trying to purchase the premium edition? If so, I'd be happy to send you a download key.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Ha! Somehow I didn't see this comment until now. I like the theory, and I think could maybe hold weight? Personally, I've always viewed the watch as only working so long as the character believe it works and not necessarily having magical powers beyond a basic placebo effect. First Leah believed the watch was working, then all her classmates did too. This is why other objects wouldn't work, as the characters didn't believe in it.

Thank you! It always makes my day to hear kind words.

The premium version gets the latest updates as soon as they are tested and ready.

Aww, man. Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to figure out a fix and remove the Android icon until I can.

In the meantime, it should still be playable in browser on this game page by pressing Run Game.

The images and animations are more compressed. 

To make it work. Android has a 2gb limit.

I can't really black out spoilers, so I'll post a few images here to make it so people can avoid my response. 

Without too many spoilers, Kassie will still play a fun part in the game. 

In Chapter 6 we'll be introduced to Kassie's on again off again girlfriend who will be romanceable, and let's just say that Kassie will be a key to unlocking a harem later on.

It's been a while since the last update, but the next one will be available for early access in the next few days!

I appreciate it!

That's no good! That kind of error usually occurs when a variable gets missed on a playthrough and doesn't have a default set, but that variable does have one.  

I imagine some change in a recent update made old saves forget the variable, since a few other players have run into similar issues. Have you restarted the game from the beginning? That should solve it.

Does it seem to be animations that cause the issue? I've been trying to find ways to get them to play better, and have been making progress lately

I think that's a great idea! I've actually suggested something similar to other devs in the past. I'd totally play a womanizing James Bond type of character (whether old-school or modern) and follow their adventures, or do an amnesia based Jason Bourne, or even a spoof like Archer or Austin Powers. Great potential in the genre by mixing it with adult games for sure.

Thanks?

Yep! Need some bigger booties for sure.

Currently working on an update for Endowed, after which I'll get back to Hypnosis.

Making a gallery has been high on my to do list for a while now. I decided to do it at the same as another big project I've been planning on doing, remaking the scenes with animations in the first six episodes of the game. This is mainly because they often don't loop correctly, and several of them are against a genetic 2D background instead of interacting with a 3D environment, being as how I didn't have one to use at the time and was still learning how to make animations. So ideally I'll be able to do both of those at once, which I'll start doing with the next update.

Meanwhile, as I'm working on my other game Endowed, I'll be setting up a gallery there, as the game has a lot less total scenes to keep track of, and will serve as practice for when I'm able to tackle sorting and organizing the dozens (hundreds?) of scenes in Hypnosis to make the gallery.

That's correct, the game does not contain music. I took a poll with patrons a few years back asking if they wanted music, and 95% said they didn't feel it was worth spending the time on it. However, recently people keep mentioning it, so perhaps having sound in AVNs has become more common.

My other game Endowed does have music and sound effects, which I do enjoy doing, but it does end up taking a lot of time and effort. I thought it made more sense in Endowed being as how it takes place in a club with diegetic music playing, compared to Hypnosis where music would not actually be playing in the majority of scenes.

Obviously I could just play a few songs on loop, but personally I'd rather just play my own music than have to listen to something on repeat.

Originally I planned to make the girl's sizes optional after a certain point, but soon realized making double the images and animations to account for that would not only double the time spent on visuals, it would double the game's size. 

That made me change course and focus on making it optional for the endings. The Broken Watch Branch accounts for this, and was voted on by patrons to complete first, where the girls all continue growing uncontrollably. Several of my patrons say it doesn't go big enough, but that's a topic for another day.

Now back on the main path there are around six updates left, and will be multiple endings throughout. At least one ending will feature the girls with reduced sizes to give a happy ending for those who don't enjoy their ladies quite so... blessed. 

Cheers!

Thanks for the report. Is that for the PC or Android version?

Found an issue? Post it here.

Thanks!
