In Plain Sight: Operative V0.4.0.0

Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words.
In regards to spicy scenes, I’m a lover of spice as much as most other people, though I doubt I’l be writing in detail what goes on between MC and the ROs behind closed doors.
This means that yes, MC does do stuff, but it won’t be explained in detail.
I hope you’re fine with that, and that you’ll continue to enjoy the story regardless!

I cant get this to load chapter 2

Heya! Apologies for the confusion, but C2 is very much a WIP and not yet released for the public demo!
The reason this bug happens is that my checkpoint system which I keep updating forces the game to load a chapter which doesn’t exist yet, so if you reach infinite loading - Congratulations! You’ve found the end of the current playtest version.
Of course, I see how this could be confusing, and I’m working on a possible solution to this.

UPDATE!!!
The very beginning of Chapter 2 is now out for public enjoyment. It’s short, but you have a hangout with Cheryl now! Your boss at your cover job also now knows you work for the United Government…

I’m releasing this early to fix the issue with infinite loading times as a result of the checkpoint system.

Have fun!

This sure was a little teaser. Looking forward to more.

The first update for C2 will include hangouts (and dates) for Jane, Alicia and Silver.
I won’t just follow the top 3 based on the poll since I do want a reason for you to be excited for the second wave…
Also, just a minor update on the hangouts!
I’ve more or less finalised the rebel side ROs who you will meet in C4. Don’t worry, you will still be given time with them to make up for them not appearing in C2s hangouts sub route.
I also want to stress - Yes, they will in fact balance the genders between the ROs. I know that some of you have been waiting for this particular announcement, so here it is!

Hey there! I have news, everybody!

First of all, I want to thank you all for the support you’ve shown me and IPS. I know it won’t ever be perfect, but I want everyone to know that I’m very grateful for the support from the community, and that it’s my top priority to make sure that any version of IPS that I release is something you can look forward to… or at least not completely broken. :sweat_smile:
Thanks to your continued support, I’ve even received the New user of the Month award for the month of April, 2024! I couldn’t be more ecstatic to have received so much support from you guys. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

But I digress! Here’s the update you’re actually here for!

IPS V0.2.4

Chapter 2 has been progressing well! The first batch of hangouts (and dates) is now done for the following:

  • Jane
  • Alicia
  • Silver

Some other miscellaneous :bug:s have also been found and squished.
Additionally, I now have a few more cheat codes ready in my discord if you’re interested in them!

Additionally, there is now more text in the chapter 1 post-mission hangout with Chris and Jane.

All in all, this update takes our total word count to 54,898 excluding code, which scares me a bit considering we’re not even done with half of what’s planned for chapter 2.

Thank you again for your continued interest in IPS! Here, have an apple. :apple:

If we can hang out with Silver and ask him on a date, why does he have no stat bar?

My bad! Found and fixed.
I forgot to tell the game that you met Silver when you did :sweat_smile:

It wasn’t easy to get to Silver but papework was worth it. He’s cute and sweet. :wink:

Oh, I’ve noticed that option to flirt with Jane are greyed out but to flirt with Alicia are not. If it based on MC’s sexuality then for my MC both should be greyed out.

This is really good so far. Finally, a military story I can sink my teeth into. Will favorite this, and hope you’ll continue to update!

Hey! Found and fixed (I think?)
The code should work, but I’m not sure if I uploaded it properly the first time.
Should you encounter this issue again, mind DMing me the exact steps to replicate this issue?

Buch obliged!

What a good way to start weekend? Playing this

I think the dialog should be changed for the military background when your reminiscing on meeting chtis and Jane bc the tear gas, trench, and rubber bullets should be standard exercises in the military so having mc not sure what to expect from them are weird. Correct me if I’m wrong bc i even looked it up to be sure

when hangout with alicia there is bug when choose dialouge her number, can’t go to the next text

Not everything that was mentioned in the training scene is included in conventional basic military training exercises, as most are for reserved units and special forces. CIRS basically takes all the best trainings in the world, and takes them to another, perhaps even illegal extent (beyond what any military character would consider as ‘normal’ in any sense of the word).
Also most people going into these trainings would have no clue what to expect at all anyway, despite their respective backgrounds. You were just plucked from… well, wherever you were, after all.
