Love the game! Keep up the great work. Just FYI, the revisisons to the doll scene are just creepy. I enjoyed the original scene much more and without getting the ick.
Thank you for your support and feedback! I needed to remove the AI images so the game can be AI clean, but I have noted your feedback and will bring that with me in further revisions.
If you can specify what aspect of the new images that creates what creepy feeling, that would be of help.
Looking at the scene now, in relationship to how young Rob looks, the doll looks similar to how I imagine a child might look like in Fjorda. The doll blinks it's eyes (as if it's alive). So when the scene cuts from Rob describing how his dad destroys the doll, to the scene with the broken doll in the trash - it's horrifying because it looks like a mutilated child - who is gasping for breath. Things to consider: 1. Can you make the doll look less realistic and more toy-like? For example, many children's dolls do not have developed breasts. Maybe the skin texture is more porcelain or wood-like (which I think the original was). 2. If the doll's joints were more doll like -(gaps where the shoulders and elbows articulate) you could maybe show the limbs "akimbo" and see the thread/band that connects the elbow or shoulder joint. So the doll parts in the dust bin look less like a mutilated child and more like a broken toy. 3. Some dolls cry. With your current animation, you could change the script from how life like the doll breathed, to how life-like it's eye's blinked and cried. I notice the doll in the story blinking, but not the rise/fall of it's chest. Add tears to the animation, and in the trash can scene replace the gasping face with a tear-stained crying face and it might be just as moving, and less creepy. Hope this feedback helps!!
I will see what I can do. The joints are beyond me, but the breasts and the skin should be within reach somehow. Tears are always a hazzle, but there are assets for them, so it should be possible.
Won't be this month though, as I'm working hard with the Stream release.
before i buy this it says ep9 is out but when i go to download its 1-5 on anroid on all platforms and is season1 harem edition updated same time as season 2 cause iget notifications and i the only difference i see is that the picture colors are different
Thank you for your purchase and your feedback. Normal autoplay speed for Season 1 gives at least 2.5 hours of gameplay. If you have fast forwarded your way through the season, you might have missed quite a lot.
Could it be that you are referring to the free public version of Episodes 1 - 3?
I am a little disappointed. I like this game bacause you really did a good job, but paying 11 $ + tax for every season, is a bit too much for me. I really did hope to be able to pay the price one time and be able to play it all. I get it, you have to be paid for your job, ut for someone like me that does not have much money in bank, being able to enjoy this great game without paying thta much every time would've been wonderful. Plus, are just 2 ep added, not 5 or 8. I don't know, it seems quite small for more than 11 $. So yeah, except for the price, it is still a great game.
Thank you for your purchase and support! The Builder is in constant development, and I have noted your wish for having the entire game as one big release.

Thank you for that thorough and inspiring input!

Thank YOU for your great work! And for asking me for more information. I really love The Builder (especially Synne). Keep up the great work!
Was playing the season one and it constantly closed on me Ave i had to reopen it. Android version.
Thank you for your bugreport. This issue might be adressed in this thread:

The best advice I can give is to be sure that you have the latest version of your OS.
I will look for more answers in other forums.

I think you should head over to the season 2 page - that's where the new episode is released :)
I've updated the description in the announcement post to clarify - thank you for letting me know.
Overpriced season 1 finished in hour. 10 bucks for 1h is too much.
