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!

With all the comments adding up, I figured it was time to organize a bit!

No idea how a message board works, so it's time to play around with it.

The true route is through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that we could have eternal life. 

Yep! Here's the link

Yeah same for me

That's where I'm at, I love the writing process but always end up behind with visuals, which is why I've been working on converting a few of my stories into Twine games as well. 

Sure, you can send me the document at expandinguniversegames@gmail.com 

Thanks!

Glad you're enjoying it!
And yeah, most of the inconsistencies are due to adding more paths/options over time, and as much playtesting as I do, there are always more to find, so I always appreciate people reporting them.

If you're a Lydia fan, you're going to like the next update!

Thanks! 

It doesn't seem like it so far, but both Beth and Aera's paths will still be available when the MC continues to be a good guy. He'll just have to work towards it.

Looks like the nickname the MC tells Grace and Laura to call him in episode 6 wasn't set, maybe your playthrough skipped that scene? Not your fault, I'll set a default for it in the next bug fix. Thanks!

Great memory! Yeah I originally planned the game to finish the story quickly, but once I started continuing it, the characters all came back to life.

Sure, it happens twice. Once with Leah when you drop her off at school around episode 7, I believe it is, and once with Jenn after her party, as her desire to get pregnant sets her on her own personal path.

Yeah, the Main Character dates Ashley and Leah automatically, as so much of the story revolves around them, like him living at their houses throughout the game. 

In future updates I plan to give each of the main girls their own endings early on around Episode 3 to make it possible to choose them and avoid dating the others.

Ah, so you're referring to the broken watch branch, where the girls insist the Main Character be loyal to them. 

In the main game the girls will be more relaxed, as they won't be worried about growing uncontrollably.

Visually the majority will be, but it will play a role throughout the game and can already be found in the Going Home Ending.

That's no good! Is that from loading an old save or starting a new game?

That will be a big focus in the next few updates as the MC tries to figure out how to convince the girls to share him. But basically the main five and the ladies they introduce will be possible to end up with. Otherwise, several of the girls like Tiffany, Brandy, Shelby, Kassie, and Lydia will be carried over to Endowed.

Thanks for the detailed info! I'll go back and fix those issues.

Not much mention of it in the first half, but there will be in the second.

All the main girls continue to grow larger, but no one is as big as Haley was in the broken watch branch.

For PC or Mac you should be able to load up the last save and pick up where you left off

Working on the next update currently!

The scene in  Episode 12 where you are introduced to Tiffany is the next day after meeting up with Brittany, after the date with Haley when you are talking on the phone with Rachel in the hallway.

That's odd, I've never heard of that happening before. Apologies, that's all the suggestions I have.

Could be windows defender or an antivirus being overprotective, maybe? Sometimes it doesn't like to load from "unknown developers". But if you don't see anything like that, it might need to be downloaded again

In Episode 12 you can't be dating Hottie Bartender, otherwise you're busy on the phone with her when Tiffany walks by in the hallway of the apartment, and you don't get the chance to say hello.

Saves should carry over automatically with PC. It saves in a hidden file in your windows username folder, so Users/username/AppData/roaming/Renpy/Hypnosis

In the premium edition version, go to preferences and make sure hints are enabled.

Yep! There is one built into the game, and a downloadable pdf file in the bonus content folder.

Thanks!
