Hi Everybody!
It’s been a week since the last Patron release, which means it is now available to everybody!
You can either get it from the attachment in the Patreon post, or you can download it from this Mega link
This release includes fixes for the bugs that have been reported over the course of the week. It also includes the art for Strip Tease, which wasn’t quite done in time for the Patron release. For $5+ tier Patrons, I posted an update for the Premium version that contains these additions.
Like I mentioned last week, there’s a forum now here: http://www.silverbardgames.com/forum/
If you want to talk about the game or report bugs, it would really help me out if you posted there. If you want to talk about other games, that would be great too. Really anything to give the forum some traffic.

How do you actually Yui to join, I have high Ninjitsu and have done quite a few sessions with her, but nothing.
Talk to Aesop about more competitors and she should be an option.
I don’t get that option from Aesop, I just get the “competition” option that gives me everyone’s else’s stats
Oh, I found an issue. That option won’t appear if Yui is the only unlockable NPC available. I’ll fix it for the next update.
If you haven’t unlocked all the other NPCs, Yui should still be offered at the same time they are.
Sweet, thanks!
I don’t know if these are intended but increasing speed is too hard. Also, my arousal increases too quickly even when I am clothed compared to my last year play through.
Lastly, I really would be glad if you add stats for clothes.
There’s a typo in the Video Games code that makes Speed increases way less likely than intended, I’ll fix it in the next update.
Yeah, I should be able to display the clothing stats in the store and Clothing Change menu.
I’m at Rank 3. For some reason, seemingly at random, during a match the description box will go “blank” and I can’t move to any of the other rooms or get in any fights. If I click “Dorm” for example there is no description, and the button will stay there as if I didn’t click it. I can click “Dorm” dozens of times and nothing will really happen, and the match will never end. If the map is up the other competitors still seem to “move”, as in the map will highlight areas in red that change every time I click “Dorm”. Oddly enough I can also still use consumables. During the match against Maya this seemed to happen more frequently than usual.
That’s as close as the game gets to a hard crash, since it’s almost impossible for the GUI layer to actually crash. If it started occurring at Rank 3, I’ll focus on checking the high level skills.
Does increasing seduction makes you take less arousal damage?
No, it causes you to deal more arousal damage with most pleasure skills
I’m not sure the combat reports are reporting correctly when using masochism and inflicting pain damage
Hey, has anyone else found a constant bug where once a certain point in the game is reached (not sure if it’s anything specific causing it) any fight just ends with no buttons or options. There’s no text or buttons, just the portrait of the opponent. The only thing to be done is Quit Match, but it keeps happening.
I’ve tried redownloading the game, reinstalling Java, installing the x86 version of Java instead of x64, but nothing works. I’m using Windows 10, if there’s any sort of incompatibility.
Thanks!
Can anyone else confirm this? I do most of my testing in the early game, so if this only happens at high level, I could see it slipping past me. However a crash after every fight should be generating a lot of bug reports.
I’ll try to remember everything that seems to trigger it, maybe there’s a pattern you can see.
Usually in the late game I think it might be when the first two unlockable opponents become available to buy. It’s definitely after the main characters start unlocking their abilities and their outfits update. The only time it’s been in early game was when I started increasing max arousal. That only happened once, though.
Also it seems to come alongside a bug where if I run into someone and choose “Fight”, if I’m about to get doubleteamed, it’ll show both characters portraits, but it’ll just repeat the line of text saying they’re ready to fight. After just testing, I ran into Cassie, and angel showed up to help her. But all that happens is it repeats “Cassie looks hesitant for just a moment, but can’t contain a curious little smile as she prepares to face you.” every time I press “Fight”.
Both bugs start occuring at the same time, but I still haven’t found any one concrete thing that reliably causes it to happen.
Let me know if there’s anything else you want to know that might help,
Thanks!
It sounds like you’re around level 10, which is where I do most of my testing, but I’m not seeing any crashes. Do you mind emailing me your save file at thesilverbard@gmail.com so I can see if I can replicate the issue?
Ok, I found the issue. When you lose, it attempts to give your underwear to the NPC, but your outfit doesn’t contain any underwear. I’ll add a check for it to prevent crashing.
Ohh ok! Awesome, thanks!
