Starter Marriage, Phase 4.1: Relationship Goals, Part 2, coming May 14, 2025!

w00t!

Lets goooooo. I cant wait for next week now.

Seriously exciting. This 1 teaser/title card whatever you wanna call it is also super hot.

Any chance we can get a small spoiler (as in what day does this all end on)

If I had to guess, I'd say that we are not yet going to see Annie (but perhaps we'll arrive at a distant airport)

The numbering scheme we've adopted is:

Phase 4 -- Starts on a new day.
Phase 4.x -- Adds to that day, but doesn't start a new one (it may or may not go to the end of the day).
Phase 4.x.x -- Bug fixes and (possibly) in-fill content, but does not add to the day.

thanks for clarifying

this will be helpful going forward

Just a reminder that when 4.1 rolls out, all savepoints, current position in the story, and the saved position will be deleted. Generally, this will happen on any minor or major release ("phase 4" is a major release, "4.1" is a minor release). Unless there is something really bad that needs to be fixed, a bugfix release ("4.1.1") won't need to have this kind of reset. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

What time/timezone is release?

Before noon US Pacific time. More detailed than that we dare not say.

Starter Marriage 4.1 has been released. Have fun!

I'm still not able to access the new content

The version shows as 4.1, but it still reads ad To be continued when I am at the door

I have the same issue. The anticipation is intoxicating I will say.

very much appreciate the "Path" option

Small glitch during deploy, should be fixed now.

In my current preffered route, it ends after having dinner without any sex. Is there another bug perhaps? Or my current route is just shorter. It is effectively a boon route, and without spoiling what has been revealed in today's release I ask Lorelei to make Allison bigger up top. Just curious what others have encountered.

While there is sex in 4.1, it ends as the scene transitions to the bedroom.

Thanks for the clarity! Yes, if I go back and try some other routes you can definitely trigger sex prior to the bedroom. Exciting stuff, looking forward to seeing many of the different ways the story can go.

I was gonna say!!

A couple of things were, well, bugging me, so I pushed out an early bugfix release. No content or flow changes.

The Path option is AMAZING. Thank you, Daphne!

I am massively failing an IQ test here, it seems completely boring/mundane, nothing about MC. I see all the praise here, though, so I must be doing something wrong.

If you make certain choices, you can "dodge" the mind-control elements almost completely. I would recommend experimenting, and bear in mind the MC elements gradually become more explicit.

Having played this since it first came out, I've found routes that I *never* saw before this current one, including MC opportunities for every female character physically in the story thus far.

Experimenting with the Lorelei scens has been quite fun, since she puts up a bit of a fight.

Bug fixes and typo corrections only.

(I merged all of the various 4.1.x threads into this main thread, and will add new releases of 4.1 to this thread rather than create a sprawl of new ones.

Starter Marriage 4.1.3 is released. This is a bug-fix release, but you might find a touch of new content (at least one bit of blocked dialogue in your conversation with Emma over coffee has been unblocked).

Starter Marriage 4.1.4 released. This lifts the limit on the number of savepoints from five to 15. It also includes some bug fixes, as always. You may also notice a difference in some storylines after your conversation with Renée over coffee, due to a fix to a really-really-really sensitive part of the code.

Starter Marriage 4.1.5 released. Fixes that very odd bug in the shower scene that jwik01 reported (thanks!).

Starter Marriage 4.1.6 has been released. Typos and dialogue fixes only in this version.

Starter Marriage 4.1.7 as been released. Bug fixes (including one "Bad Place" that would pop up during your coffee with Renée), and a few dialogue changes to align phase 4 with forthcoming plot developments.

Starter Marriage 4.1.8 released. Typos, small bugs, etc.

Starter Marriage 4.1.9 released. Typos, small bugs, etc.

Starter Marriage 4.1.10 released. Typos, small bugs, etc.

I was wondering for starter marriage do you story board where you want the story to go, and if so how far do you normally storyboard it. Or do you only start working on the next part of the story after releasing an update?

I have a pretty good notion of the overall plot. The closer you get to the end of the most recent update, the more detail I've planned out.
