The Builder - Season 2 pass
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
The Builder
Season 2
Season pass
The new season of The Builder kicks off with the game's first proper impregnations - all for different reasons. The patrons of the game have voted for their top four breeding targets, and this where we play our way to their wombs.
By buing the season pass, you'll get the latest releases of Season 2 - Episodes 6 - 10 as soon as they are created.
We are currently on Episode 9 - so one more to go for this season.
On this page, you can download the latest public episodes of Season 1 (1-3), but you will need to play through the full Season 1 before there's any point playing Season 2.
New: Wishlist on Steam
This will help the game get a bigger following and increase the speed of new releases.
Remember to play Season 1 first
By becoming a patron, you get access to the game's Discord server
The Season 1 page has more (a lot) info about the project

Why did the release date drop from Steam today? Now it just says coming soon? Whats going on for Steam ? Thanks
They are reviewing the builds so I changed the dates in case I dont make it in time
is any lesbian/bisexual stuff avoidable?
In Season 1 there's the MC having sex with two pregnant ladies and they happen to touch each other too - kinda naturally given the situation. Not much of this in Season 2, but there's one lady touching the tits of another.
I have noted your request and can try to remember to do lesbian content skippable or optional moving forward.
Chris
apreciate the answer if it dosnt go beyond touch it wouldnt bother me to much still prefer to be able to avoid that though. As for skippable vs avoidable i hope you choose to make it avoidable/optional if there is only a skip option if its something i really didnt like i would still probably stop playing at that point.
Just Completed Season 2 and I enjoyed the Twist in plots for sure. I thought your Artwork is just Beautiful and the animation has a lot of attention to detail Triple-A Quality. GREAT Job!
Sometimes I felt a lack of Agency like I got carried along with the story without ways of directing its progress.
Also, is there a way to carry my Stats from Season 1 (I don't know some kind of editor or config file to edit)
Looking forward to Episdoe 10 whenever its ready and Happy Holidays to you!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback!
I agree with the lack of agency, and it has become more apparent to me as Season 2 progresses. As this is my first VN (I've worked only with linear storytelling earlier), I'm kinda learning the ropes on this one. My ambition is to go back and rework bits once the Steam release is done. Introducing more choices and branching is on the top of the list. For Season 3 I'm planning an even more player driven progression, where you have to make more of an effort to bed the ladies. But again, this has to be weighted with writing and visual work. The more advanced programming you have, the more time it takes away from the other stuff.
Episode 10 will also have six different experiences depending upon one choice made in ep9 and one branching in the beginning of 10. But branching is a lot of work, so the scenes will have similar content with some variations, and the second to last scene will be diferent depending upon the choice of path.
Re stats: I've fine tuned the threshold levels of each season so that some choices need certain levels to kick in. If you carry from S1, it will become a bit too hard for my reach. I'm first and foremost a writer, and not much of a programmer, unfortunately.
Again: thank you, and happy holidays to you too!
Completely Understand due to issue of Branching which is a whole other Kettle of Fish and difficult. Don't worry too much about the Agency if it is going to put you into"Feature Creep" which will add to the complexity of your Code and Project in general.
Once you have the Season 1 and Season 2 Build on the same code base maybe you could work out the Carrying over of Stats from each Season or allow the Player in Season 2 to input their Stats.
Keep up the Great Work and your Writing, Pacing and Characterization / Artwork are ALL Excellent!
Yes, that's actually a good idea. Thank you again!
If you have ideas for the plot, please head over to the Discord discussion - invite in the comments of the Plot Fest thread https://lewdrobotics.itch.io/the-builder-season-2-pass/devlog/851505/the-builder...
Thank you for the invite but I want to leave the Plot to you and avoid spoiling it for me. I'm sure it will be interesting
Lewd Robotics Great Work by the Way .
I purchased Season2 Ep. 6-9 but I noticed that there will be One More Episode, The Finale. Will I have to pay another $11 just to get that Final Episode for the Season?
No, you don't have to pay again
The final episode in Season 2 (Ep 10) is included in your purchase of the season 2 pass so the files will be available to you. Thank you for your support!
No Problem and thank you for the quick response.
I have season 1 and episode 6, I encounter problems with both which I've messaged you about previously, the balcony scene and then not having enough lust points to allow choices. You say the episodes are separate, so how come the points issue in ep6. If I buy season 2 pass will it work ? Love the game just a tad challenging when it crashes or won't work. I'm on an Amazon fire tablet.
Thank you for your continued interest and patience! The issues with the balcony scene should be solved now. I haven't had any bugreports since last release. I've also added a skip option to circumvent the part of the scene by the railing entirely, as it's those animations that seem to cause the memory problem on Android devices.
With Episode 9 i have also cleaned up the parameters settings, to streamline them more with best practice. That might also have helped.
Please let me know if it works out!

Hi Chris, do I download from new or my library already purchased option ?
Use the download option on the Season 2 pass page - https://lewdrobotics.itch.io/the-builder-season-2-pass
Yeah, I meant for the new improved season/episode that I've already paid for, I'd like to experience what I've been missing. Obvs if I go to new post, it asks for payment, if I go to my library it downloads a historic version, that has the same faults I already have ?
Allright, I then need to know what version of Season 2 you purchased! Because I hope I made all the early episodes into Season pass... Obviously I must have missed something
if you have the builder ep. 6 with the season 1 bundle do you have access to ep. 9 or so you have to purchase it?
Hi, thank you for your interest! Each season is a separate product. I had to split them up at the time of the launch of Season 2 because of file size limitations.
Your best deal for both seasons would be to head over to the Patreon or SubescribeStar sites.
ok thanks for the reply
Now, I've updated the old ep 6 files with ep 9 - so it should be included in your purchase - thank you for your support!
I have season one, do I have to start a new game or would my save data be transferred over
No transfer of save data, it's a lot of programming and not much to gain from it. With Season 2 you just have to re-enter a name and you're off. The season has its own parameters.
Does the game include a steam key upon release or no?
Not for the moment, no. I haven't looked into the coding required for the Steam release yet, as I'm working non stop with Ep 9. I have noted your input, thanks!
Ich hab dich bestimmt schon mal danach gefragt, weis es aber nicht mehr. Wird es jemals eine deutsche übersetzung geben?
I'm hoping to look into German, French and possibly Spanish versions of the game once Season 1 and 2 are released on Steam.
how do I download the other episodes, if Im already subscribed its not showing me a link anywhere only the pass for season 2.
You should see the "Download now" button above this dialogue.
Season 2 pass currently includes episodes 6, 7 and 8.
Episode 9 is close to release, and will be part of the download package here.
Ideally every month - head over to Patreon if you want to support this development.
I liked the old proposal of getting all women pregnant, could it not come back in the future?
It's still there as the main plot :)
wowwww impregnant them all
Again, Such a good game!! I can't praise it enough!! Very sexy, nice that every girl got her own little kinks, makes it interesting to see what's coming next! When i found the game I played all available episodes, coulnt pase myself. Can't wait for more..
Thank you for your support! If you want to promote the game further, please head over to Steam and add it to your wishlist :)
I found that in the macOS version, the text-speed setting reverts back to default everytime. I like it max, but it only stays there for a few screens.
it is with the version downloaded today
Noted, thank you.
Hi Chris, I was hopeful you'd fixed the balcony scene but still crashes. Playing episode 8, I miss a lot of content as not enough perv points. Can anything be done ? I'm playing on a fire tablet.
I'm sorry to hear about the crashed balcony scene in the Android version! I've re-done the whole section and compressed the animations into movie-files. I will launch a workaround asap, simply with a jump past the scene, but honestly, I'm at a miss about why this happens now :(
Thank you for your continued bugreports!!
cheers Chris 👍 anything you can do about the p points ?
yes, I'm looking into it now, and hope to get a fix out asap
yes, I'm looking into it now, and hope to get a fix out asap
The new Android release is out, with a very unsexy workaround: skipping option. I've been over the code again and again, and I can see no reason for the game to crash at this point. I have also compressed the animations on the Sally impregnation run.
The only other possible option I can think of, is to compress the animations leading up to this point of the episode, but they are already converted to a smaller file format, so it would surprise me if this made a differene.
Anyway: Hope the episodes 6 - 8 now can be enjoyed also on the Android platform!
My Game Crashes hard during Sally impregnation, exactly when following dialog appears "a destiny changing load" . Game freezes and Crash on Android
I'm getting an error about ep7_cscore not being defined. But it's defined in script_shell.rpy just like perv, karma and all other variables. It happens if I load my save, so I tried starting fresh from ep 6. Same thing happened as soon as I got to the first time the variable is used in episode 7.
Only thing I can think of is maybe a ctrl character or something in the definition line. Will try deleting the script_shell.rpyc file and replacing the definition line and those around it, and then re-run.
That did the trick. Still get an error with saves but starting a fresh game now works fine. Maybe there was a linefeed or something in there. Do you code on a Linux device?
I code on a PC. What platform did you run the game on?
Hello, can you please add a a clear title that says that all characters are over 18+ because the triplets age is not mentioned and I assume they are college girls above 18 but I just want to mention that you have to make it clear in your game. Respectfully, I dont mean no harm by this comment but just wanted to bring this to your attention.
Thank you for that point.
Added in the latest release
Keep getting exception errors that instruction to ignore is enabling me to keep going, but happens at every decision point.
Did you play from previous saves? This usually happens when you don't start "clean" from the beginning.
Yes..anything I can do or have I to just live with it?
Just play from the beginning. Use the skipping to increase your speed :)
Why there is no free android version
Good question! I'm currently upgrading the Public version, and upon the release of that there will be a free android too. But first, I need to fix a memory issue in the Ep6-8 android release., Good news is that my java installation now works without hickups, so the builds don't require me to pay someone to fix them
The memory issue for the full Android version should now be fixed, and the free version should run smoothly
So i think you need to rethink the jump to current chapter option. I tried just starting from chapter 8 and it sets all stats to 0 so you litterally can't do anything. What's the point i was hoping it'd let me replay the chapter assuming i did everything prior.
Also i would love a kind of gallery or something that would help me know if i'm missing any hidden or optional scenes. As chapter 8 felt kinda empty just the one imagination scene and then it was over so i'm wondering if i'm missing something.
Absolutely. The jump function was wasted on Ep 8 because you need the perv score to unlock some of the lewd stuff.
Gallery function is planned to be unlocked at the end of the season as with season 1 - based on your total score.
There are three sexual moments in ep8, two of them "hidden" behind perv scores and options. The third one is unavoidable.
Thanks for the fast reply.
I bought season 2 all the way up to ep6 how do I get the new ep
I will distribude eps 6-8 on the now restricted ep6 page for those who bought it there
Eps 6-8 are now available for free for those who bought Ep6 - or if you want to tip a bit, that will help the further development of the project.
Do you have a Discord page for Error message submissions?
Please post it here - the discord is linked to Patreon and SubescribeStar, and I'm not sure how to handle the itch purchases
Show post...
Hey Lewd Robotics. I purchased the Episode 6 version here on itch for the $11. Will I be able to get the whole of season 2 or will I need to pay another $11 through this page? I purchased it on the old episode 6 page. I have really enjoyed both season 1 and the first episode of season 2. Looking forward to the rest. Thank you.
I'll offer the Ep7 and 8 for those who bought ep6 at a minimal charge - let me just get around to it.
yeah the bait and switch with episode 6 at 11$ and now another season pass that will still costs me the same smh let me know whatever it is that you decide to do for us if anythin
Thank you for your patient support of The Builder. As stated, I will find a way to reward those who bought Ep6 before I figured out how to deal with Season 2 as a season pass.
See above - the eps 6-8 are now available for those who bought ep6 only
i bought season 1 yesterday, is this a separate game, that requires another 11 dollars ?
This is the Season 2 pass - so once you've bought it, you have will have the releases of eps 6-10 as soon as I finish them.
