really how do i do that?? Because if i pick the pc version and then on "i want this" it just show me the option to pay with a credit card usually it should show the pay pal option as well.
Just bought the latest android version on gumroad and I keep getting tons of errors because the file "publicpark04.jpg" is missing. I feel like I'm missing whole scenes because of this.
The file is there for Version 2.11 so it could be something else. If you have the chance, please send me here an image with the error so I can see what could be and fix it, so I can upload the files for the product you bought on Gumroad and you can enjoy the game!
The first image is the scene right before the error. The next two is the error page, top half and bottom half. If I press [Ignore] several times it eventually goes back to the story, but then further down the error occurs a few more times.
I think because you have downloaded game from itchio & stored in another folder. To solve this, you shold download from the web and direct it into the other folder in your computer.
I can't get the Itch app to download or recognize the game. Anyone else have that problem? I can download it manually from the Itch.io site, but not the App.
Hello! Apologies! The bugs were due to a mistake trying to use code from a later update. I updated the public version so I hope the bugs have disappeared.
I found 2 errors during Fernando and Harry's poker game. This is from android version 2.09. Not sure if I should report them here, since the public version is 2.04.
I'm really enjoying the story so far, and most of the characters are fleshed out and fun. My only real issue is the unbelievably bad English.
I really mean no disrespect, especially if English is not the writers first language, and I understand that grammatical and spelling issues is part of a ongoing project like this, but it ranges from bad to actually unreadable.
I would use the corrections form to report it, however, it's literally in every scene. It honestly reads like it's been translated through something like Google Translate.
If English is your target market, I would really recommend having your script proofread and edited.
Hello! Thanks for your recommendations! My apologies for the bad English. I have been trying to get some help in that area but it is hard because I don't want to ask friends to proofread for free every month and the project right now is not making the enough profits to be able to pay someone to do that job. And there is another issue I prefer not to mention here that makes me have more errors when writing and it is hard to notice them. I'm always trying to find ways to solve this issue.
I would recommend instead of using the questionnaire to have a Google docs that patrons or everyone can edit, and you let them post all the typos there. Then everyone can see what has been suggested yet, and you have many people correcting each a few things.
I think that would help. And you can create a new page per chapter on the Google doc to make it even more accessible.
I know the English you use has issues, but you can still get the emotions across exceptionally well, so congrats to that already!
tbh i don't find it that bad... english is not my first language too, but I can't find that much problems it most of the writting... maybe a few typos here and there...
Do you think script proofread and edit jobs are cheap? A small indie game like this will not have enough fund to afford that kind of services tbh. "from bad to actually unreadable" isnt just over the top? I have seen worse.
I wonder if Samson is bisexual? If he is bisexual, i hope you can make him make a next move towards Rhogan. Samson and Rhogan wil absolutely be a nice couple.
I have a sneaking suspicion that he could be, if not maybe even demisexual (who knows though). Either way, if he is I'd agree that Samson being with Rhogan would be a pairing I'd be guilty of wishing could happen. I'd love to see that as the pairing. Although based on everything in the storyline thus far, I'm thinking they are likely aiming for Samson and Zvaler to end up together. Which I wouldn't be against as they seem like they'd make a great pairing. But I'll have to agree with you that it'd be cool to see Samson and Rhogan end up together. Especially after that one scene in the locker room.
Or maybe he was completely straight before coming here, and his brother was somehow correct in thinking that it would only be a matter of time before he turns gay just by living here long enough (which has weird implications imo).
Hello. You have to download the APK file (Android), install it with an special permit (since you are dowloading it outside the play store) and it should be good to play.
Don't know if this has been brought to attention yet, but with the latest public release, whenever I try saving anywhere in Chapter 2, the game errors out.
Hello. No, we haven't had been noticed about an error like that. I have tested the game on computer and phone and the saving seems to work. Please let me know if that error remains with the new public update.
Love the game! It's very well thought out, the storyline keeps you engaged and the sexy CGs are great! Unfortunately I can't support Patreon right now but I would like to contribute somehow, if there's a donation option. The only drawback I found is that there are a lot of grammatical errors, too many to report one by one, and a few lines with the wrong character. Also, I wish there were more animations. But great job so far, can't wait for Chapter 2!
Hello! Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you love it! ^_^
I'm always trying to find all the errors and and fix them whenever I can.
The other site where you can support is Gumroad (https://gumroad.com/strongerbonds). You can buy there the latest version, which is right now four updates ahead of the public release. Thanks for considering supporting the project! ^_^
Yes. Every month we create a new version with more content. Since this is basically an indie visual novel all the monthly profits (from Patreon and Gumroad) are used to get new art and paying for other stuff.
We have fixed that bug and many others. Now the current version is 2.03.2, which is already uploaded in the links sent to patrons and on Gumroad!
We apologize and we hope you enjoy the new update! Also we added a new special mini scene within the new adult scene to make up for all these inconveniences.
Hey there, I'm still getting an error with ver. 2.03.1 It always crashes after I finish the four choices in chapter 2, I can't rollback or ignore it either as it just crashes and closes right after. Any chance you could help? I got the copy from gumroad.
sorry I couldn't get the image to upload, this is the text from the error, if that helps?
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

You can connect your paypal to Gumroad.

I found this article. Maybe it can help you: https://help.gumroad.com/article/275-paypal-connect
I was able to connect my paypal with Gumroad but it still show me just the credit card option if i wanna buy it.
Could you check now, please? We completed a step needed to activate the option
omg, Sam is finally felling that very familiar feeling, the gay panic. Loving it

That's what I was going for, a gay panic caused by body reactions out of control. I'm glad you are loving it! ^_^

Hello! It has been updated right now.
I love this game but it make me cry happy tears
Hello! I'm glad you love it and I hope the happy tears are not a big problem! ^_^
hehe they are ^_^ keep up the amazing work
Itch isn't letting me install the game for some reason. Can't figure out why not. (cannot read property "build" of undefined)
I think because you have downloaded game from itchio & stored in another folder. To solve this, you shold download from the web and direct it into the other folder in your computer.
I can't get the Itch app to download or recognize the game. Anyone else have that problem? I can download it manually from the Itch.io site, but not the App.
Hello! I have updated the public version and its files. Try again if this fixed that problem, please.
Itch just seems to not even see there is a version to download. Manual download works just fine. Just not through the App.
me too, itch just don't know there is a version to download at all. the manual download button works just fine in a browser
There seems to be alot of errors in this update. The entire Samson and Tristan conversation is completely bugged. I had to skip over all of it.
I can't even get to the new update. The game ends after the first part of chapter 2. Please help me, l really need my Samson. Thanks
Hello! That is weird. What is the last lines you can see and who says them? Also what version can you see in the main menu?
Hello! Apologies! The bugs were due to a mistake trying to use code from a later update. I updated the public version so I hope the bugs have disappeared.
it let me install it
I found 2 errors during Fernando and Harry's poker game. This is from android version 2.09. Not sure if I should report them here, since the public version is 2.04.
Hello! Thanks for the report. I'm gonna check that part when I can and upload a fixed update if I find those errors.
I think Tommy is corrupted lol
I can't wait for more heh
so when does the new patches usually get posted up on patreon/gumroad. i know the date wise but time of the day is it like a midnight drop usually?

btw what language is your main one?

i don't think the english/grammar is that bad anyways, if it was so bad i'd prolly have just stopped playing, ya know?
dude i love this game, how often does this game/chapter's get updated?
Hello! The public versions are released monthly, just not as strict in the dates as the newest versions.
Is there a guide anyhwhere?
Only Tutorial - Ralph and Steve gym scene
Strange, but when Samson and Zvaler meet at the police station after the first turn, an error occurs.
Hello! Thanks for you report! I'll check that error.

wow so hot

Especially after that one scene in the locker room.
Moreover, Rhogan is a wicked badass, which fit Samson really much.
Very soon you will see what happens with Samson. After all, the title of chapter 2 should give you a hint.
Or maybe he was completely straight before coming here, and his brother was somehow correct in thinking that it would only be a matter of time before he turns gay just by living here long enough (which has weird implications imo).
