In for a Penny

Why is the game file size large?

The developers were rushed towards the end and did not resize images properly. The next update will be smaller in size without losing quality.

What engine was used to create the game?

The game was built using VN Maker, which is a Ren'Py system. However, it's not RPGM and the developers are considering switching to Renpy for future updates.

Why can't I start the game after downloading and extracting files?

There might be an issue with your specific setup or download process. The developers will look into this for the next update, along with potentially switching engines from VN Maker to Renpy.

When is the next update coming out?

The next update will be released on Friday and will include 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac, and Android.

Why are some download links not working?

There was a mistake in setting up the WorkUpload and Mediafire links. The Gdrive links should work correctly now, but if you encounter issues, the developers have rechecked them to ensure they are available for downloading.

Is there an Android port available?

An unofficial Android port is available for v0.02.5. It includes a second persistent save location so that saves remain intact even if you uninstall the game. The Discord server can be used to provide feedback.

What are some issues with the current version of the game?

The story needs improvement and proofreading, and the cover art is not eye-catching. Some players find it too cheesy and over-the-top in terms of visuals and content.

Unofficial compression can reduce image/audio/video quality and potentially break the game. It is not officially supported or recommended.

Why am I being called 'John' instead of my chosen player name?

The issue where the character is referred to as 'John' instead of your selected player name appears to be due to hard-coded references in the game files, specifically in MyScreens.rpy and Quests\Day 3.rpy. This problem was observed after the 0.9 update.

Why do some players think the main character (MC) is gay or that the game is trolling?

Players have noted that the MC's reluctance to engage in sexual activities despite being surrounded by many women who are interested in him seems inconsistent with his situation. The MC was thrust into a scenario where he is expected to satisfy numerous women, but he appears more focused on personal connections and respecting the women rather than engaging sexually immediately. This behavior contrasts sharply with the experiences of the women who had been abducted for a year prior to the MC's arrival, enduring significant psychological and physical stress. The game’s narrative suggests that the MC’s hesitation might be due to his background as a 'loser' before being abducted, making him more cautious about his new environment and relationships.
