Yes, you'll eventually get most of the versions of the game EVENTUALLY. I think at some point in the future, my publisher would want me to stop updating the free version as so it acts more like a demo for the full release though.
As for H-scenes, the scene animations are what you get. The assets and how we animate it is kinda formulaic so changing it means changing 2 years worth of that content. So no, we're unable to make it smoother. I also tried different like transition techniques on renpy but it just looks blurry and gave me a headache.
The beach and birthday events, if the characters are not inviteable, you'll need to take them out on more dates and level them up. If you're inviting the right girls and doing the event story but at the end, there's no sex scene, it's because your outfit might not be appropriate.
The stocks feature, basically buy low sell high. Markets only open in the late morning and only some stocks are available to trade in on differet days. This was done mainly to deter save scumming a fortune.
no sorry, the MC is their own character. I did consider adding that as a possible feature during the concept phase but ultimately decided not to as with the hand-drawn style, it would've multiplied the number of assets needed and heavily slow down progress. I wish we did have it and were able to do it in an effective and efficient manner
I appreciate you so much! Thank you for enjoying the game :D We do our best and want to provide the best possible experience. Definitely proud of implementing the card game, definitely not as complex as balatro but we wanted it to be simple enough that anyone could learn it quick. You playing, commenting, and rating is a big help to our ranking and team morale!
The birthdays are not yet available in this game, we plan to add them as events. So far in 0.17, there's the MC's Birthday event and the Beach Day event. Threesomes are unlocked via those calendar events and any other future ones that get added
Some cards obviously don't have art yet, the logo is a placeholder. We're slowly implementing them over time since I commission other artists for them.
The one specifically in the game is Netori and that is the MC cucking other people as opposed to the other NTR which is Netorare meaning the MC is getting cucked (which is not in the game).
The Netori fetish is toggle-able and only really affects dialogue that mention's a woman's husband, if that's toggled off, it changes it to ex-husband.
What version are you playing? I think you need to do more SMS dates and level up. Selling cards is also another way to gain exp. And if your tips aren't high enough, you need to invest in your stats in the health app.
Again, I understand your frustrations and perspective. From my point of view, the growing gap increases the value for new supporters. Would you rather pay x amount for 2 hours of content or the same x amount for 20 hours?
Fairness is subjective. What I see as fair, what paid supporters see as fair, and what free users see as fair are all different. Simply put, you get what you pay for, and I believe a reasonable update schedule and hours of content already provide more value than $0.
The system is designed to cater more to paid users because they provide the resources to keep development going. Free users can play and rate the game, and as much as I appreciate that kind of support, if that were the only support the game received, it would not survive.
Free players still receive consistent updates from us, something many other developers do not provide. When they do, updates are often several months apart. Some release a demo and never touch the free version again. I also acknowledge developers who provide what you are asking for. If it works for them, it works.
Our schedule balances fairness for free players while rewarding those who fund development. The gap also acts as an incentive for players who want to stay current with updates. The project’s growth, especially recently, shows that this approach is very effective. Paid supporters and the team are happy to provide free players with regular updates, all made possible by their support and hard work.
If down the line it becomes less compelling to have 20 hours of content versus 2 hours for the same pledge amount, I will readjust and adapt as best I can. The schedule only feels like a disadvantage if someone chooses not to support the game on Patreon but still expects the same benefits as those who do.
These choices are not made on a whim but after careful consideration of pros and cons and what is best for the project’s health.
I respect your decision if you choose not to support Sugar Service, and I hope that whenever you return, there is a massive amount of new content ready for you.
I understand why the gap might feel unfair at first glance, but it actually exists to keep things fair for the people who actually fund and monetarily support the project. Without their support, there wouldn’t be new content at all, for anyone. Free players still get everything without spending anything, just on a delay, while supporters get "early access" as the benefit they’re paying for. That’s the system that keeps the game alive.
Right now, free users get updates roughly every 6 weeks, while patrons get them every 4. And from the Patreon side, the larger gap actually increases the value. For the same pledge, future supporters get far more content upfront instead of a small trickle. New patrons instantly unlock a huge backlog, which makes their support feel more worthwhile.
And if you never intend to pledge, I still appreciate you playing the game. I hope that clears up the reasoning behind the schedule.
It's on hiatus at the moment, I missed the Halloween window this year because I was too busy with Sugar Service but I may or may not get back to Detected After Dark sometime, I won't promise when though.
The H-scenes could be the 2x masturbation scenes for each girl or a threesome scene needs to be officially unlocked via the events. You can only officially unlock a H-scene in an event once an in-game year.
It should be fine, there hasn't been any complaints about the apk - you'll have to just look into it yourself for your specific device. Make sure you're allowing permission for everything.
I completely understand your point, and I have many trans friends that do NOT vibe with the term 'trap' because I agree with the OP that it implies that they're deceiving people of their true identity. They'd use it jokingly amongst each other but they would not want to be actually labelled as such by others. And that's not to invalidate those who are fine with the 'trap' term.
If we're just looking at Quinni as a character, I made her canonically trans. Never in the dialogue do I use the word 'trap' once except in the options menu when I allow the player to choose her genitals. And if I’m being frank, I only did that because it’s the commonplace H-game terminology — which is why terms like “futa”, "femboy" and “trap” appear on the page as shorthand genre descriptors. So I felt omitting one mention of the word in the actual game was worth avoiding offence.
By setting the options to "has a penis (intended)" and "has a strap-on/vagina (alternative)", it leaves her label open for anyone to self-insert what they like to view her as most. You are free to label her as a 'trap' if you so wish just like how you can choose for her to be a cis girl with a vagina if you so wish, the dialogue does not change a single bit with that decision. I've previously encouraged anyone who questioned Quinni's identity by telling them that she's whatever they want her to be and that's okay.
And you’re absolutely right — I shouldn’t let one person dictate how I dev the game but I’ve turned down plenty of requests before. This time, it just happened to be something I genuinely agreed with and had the power to change. People can disagree, and that’s fine — I’ll always make the calls that feel right to me. I just make games that I wish existed and I'm just glad people enjoy it too.
I do agree with you, and I'm glad you brought it up. I'll be removing that term and honestly just leaving the options as 'huge cock' or 'huge strap-on'. That already implies the physical build.
