Матери и Дочери / Mothers & Daughters [v.0.6.2 Fixed Alpha] (2022) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [mad] [Spin256]

v0.6.2 Alpha - 2025-03-08
A note on the alpha/beta builds. These development/experimental builds may be used to test features or content. Not all features/content in a development build will make it into the live version or may be postponed to a later live version.

To test features or content, you can open a save from the live build in an alpha/beta build. However, if the build is for a different branch than in your save file, you may not see additional content.

Taking a save from an alpha/beta build into the live build is not recommended. Although it may appear to work, the development builds may change variables for testing, which could cause unexpected results (such as breaking branching paths) in the live build.

v0.6.1.1 - 2025-01-11
Version 6.1 includes 6.0 (morning events) and 6.1 (afternoon events) for playable day 6, Wednesday.
This is a quirk with how the college events work, with them either in the morning or afternoon based on player selection.
Events included are:
Fashion with Mrs Anderson on the Creative course.
Marketing with Mrs White on the Business course.
Structural Engineering with Mr Carter on the Engineering course.
Philosophy with Mrs Anderson on the Humanities course.
Lunch with Dean Stuart or lunch with Keira and Natasha.
In addition, there are changes to the in-game smartphone, with it now accessible almost all the time. It also adds a new Favorite app to the smartphone, allowing you to save almost any image to a gallery. Like the computer app, the smartphone calendar app now displays the week ahead.

*Bug fixes
*Choice screen updated.
If you saved in V1 on a menu screen you will see additional blank menu items when you open the save in V2. This is a side effect of the menu changes to allow for disabled items (prerequisite not met options). You either need to roll back a screen or just don't select a blank item. The game uses an if/else block for menus. If you do happen to choose a blank item you'll get whatever is the else path is (usually the last option, but not always).

This is a Visual Novel with a small amount of free roam.

This is my first game, I hope you enjoy it.
I am a freelance developer and this game is currently a hobby development. If you want to support, great. Obviously, I'll be able to spend more time on it. Otherwise, I'll just enjoy doing this as a hobby.
It's currently just the first playable day. I wanted to take the time to get the features implemented and working before doing too much rendering.

All the female characters (excluding your vanilla mom) are love interests.

The game uses two mechanics to track your progress with each character.
Affinity is a percentage-based point system. It is calculated based on the points you could have earned with that character. For those LI's you're interested in you should aim for High Affinity.
Persona is your attitude to each character. Either a Bad Boy or Nice Guy. Each character has a preference for Bad Boy or Nice Guy.

The difficulty system doesn't change the content of the game, just your journey through it. In easy mode, the threshold for attaining high affinity will be lower than in harder difficulties.
A walkthrough hint system is only available in easy mode.

Certain tags are for specific LI's. If you don't like tag you can avoid that LI.
I know NTR can cause quite a stir, so I'll be as honest as I can regarding this content. This is specifically related to you witnessing a sex act between a LI and another male character.
There will be two-story threads that can involve NTR.
A specific LI will get very jealous if she sees you dating other women, or if she thinks you're not all in with her. That will cause her to sleep with another male character to make you jealous. You can either avoid this character or be careful in how you approach her.
A main story thread involves a male character (not the player) blacking women for sex. One of the solutions to ending the blackmail is to film him and blackmail him into stopping. There will be other solutions to end the blackmail besides that.


Android version:
This is my first attempt at an Andoid build. If you find bugs, please let me know.
