Others Abandoned Ways of Life [v0.88] [RALX Games Productions]

[GrizzlyUK]

I think this kind approach is resembling at first any previous and current PC game that needed and still does that "FUCKEDUP ACTIVATE ME ONLINE IN ORDER TO PLAY EVEN OFFLINE CONTENT " that parasites like steam, ea, acti-blizz, valve and so on added to their games. In this case its some of the premium stuff that of course supposed to be only for thous support the dev (I can respect that ), but it also worries me that once the game is at its final stage it might entirely become full on premium only thing.

I don't have a problem with one-time activation systems, but we each have our own opinions on such things and that's fine. The one that really does annoy me the most is the MS garbage "Games for Windows Marketplace"! It was awful right from the start and was obviously Microsoft's attempt at grabbing a share of the market that was, and still is, dominated by Valve's Steam. No surprise then that nobody liked it which resulted in it's complete and utter failure! Now the GfW servers are dead and nobody can access any of the content they may have purchased over the years. But let's not derail this thread with such discussions.

As for the pay wall that the devs have added to Ways of Life, not a good thing imho. People have the option to support the game via Patreon and people would do that if the game was good. Reading all the comments here it seems this had some potential but has problems that aren't being addressed (the misspelling of Strength being an obvious one). Adding a pay wall that hides all the "good" stuff just results in annoyed people that ignore the game and move on to one of the numerous games that don't have such stupid restrictions. As I said, I was looking at checking the game out, see what it's like etc but now I simply won't even bother wasting my time to download it. That's the direct result of the added pay wall. *shrug*

CGrip anyone?

There's gotta be a way to crack this through those save data or preference files. Just gotta figure out what the flag call for those blocked events is, then set it as true prior to the call.

Fuck this dev, but, weirdly, anti-cheating measures end up teaching me more about code than almost anything else.

Cracking json web tokens its not a hard job ... but would take you some time ... however this game is rubbish so doesnt worth the time lost to crack it ... To be fair from what i remember this game was so bad i wouldnt play not even if was for free .

Cracking this is a serious pain lots and i mean lots of files to go through. And if its anything like the ingame cheat system several differant code files will have multiple lines all over the place in regards to the system. Took me a week to crack the damn cheats, then the douchebag overhauled it and added the damn paywall. In all honesty looking at the cg this is not worth cracking, maybe in about 5 years based on the current pace of development it will be worth cracking. But for now i dont think anyone will be insane enough to crack this, plus im guessing dev visits here seems odd i posted a crack for cheats and next update the cheat system was changed and this paywall crap installed.

One word to describe this. Garbage.

not only can u not edit save files as when u do and mess up the events ingame crash the entire save file afterwards no you actually have to be a patreon and the game checks to even watch the damn gallery.

Thats basically saying if you dont pay me you got no right to enjoy my game. While that is totally fine and understandable it also has a huge downside. There are tons and i mean tons of free porn games out there who if a player gets hooked attract new customers for patreon.

This will never be the case here as we can not even verify if content presented is any good or not as you would have to pay to use someone elses save and not fuck up an event in the process.

My advice. Avoid this.

 

[Acesaw]

The cheat doesn't work.

 

[Lonewolf007]

I will only become a patrion if and or when the dev add's in the teachers love and corruption paths . Until then I will wait until then before becoming a patrion for this dev again .

Any way to at least get a cg rip? Or should I just write this game off since I have no desire to spend actual money?

 

[Bakkis15]

Waste of time. Deleted.

 

[fernandopoo]

So grinding... and then pay for it? Sorry, dont expect to get rich with my help...

Probably best to just write this one off and move on to any of the other games that don't have a pay wall hiding all the good stuff.

I don't mean to quote a post from over a year ago but the author has clearly moved the save file location.
Anyone know where it is?
The Paywall is annoying asf and I cba with the grind.

EDIT: Found it under AppData\Local\Ways Of Life\User Data\Default
SaveGame_0.vndata
If anyone could figure out money and other parameters, I'd be grateful.

 

[Deleted member 2738]

If you have look back 1 PAGE, you hade found that exist a newer save.... PAGE 114 # 2267

My bad, I've managed to edit my save to my liking now.

 

[JiltedBoy]

We fuked mom after first night or first update, and whats the god damn point after main goal to play anymore ??

(btw I luv this DAZ model mom, from Big Brother and Tyrant - but c'mon man same plot same shit, give us little creativity)

So am I wrong or is most of the content behind a pay wall? If I am wrong then maybe i'm missing something. However if im not wrong then this game truly is a lost cause as it wasn't even good enough to be a patron in the first place.

There is a bug when watching TV with Victoria. When choosing a movie, it plays that selection and each selection further down the list. This ends with a porn movie which, at the beginning of the game, makes her mad and ends up losing you points.

The hack I posted earlier still works in 0.5.5r:

To enable cheats (as of 0.5.5r):

1. Open data/SCRIPTS.js in a text editor.
2. Change line 44975 to read GameManager.variableStore.numbers[input] = 1850; (this is inside the getPatronPledgedStatus function).
3. Save SCRIPTS.js
4. Open the game and start/load.
5. Open the Other > Cheats option and click through.
6. Select 'One Factor' when prompted and then close the browser.
7. Click inside the game window until the "Waiting for response" message changes. It should say "You have pledged: 1850".
8. Enjoy.

This should also work to unlock the paywall'd content, but I haven't tested that yet.

does this game have a hint system?
