Leaving DNA News

Hello everyone. For everyone who has already completed Episode Four, I've found a bug that will be a big problem for Episode Five if you are on Emmeline's path. If you haven't played yet or if you don't want to be on Emmeline's path, then ignore this announcement.

If you've already played Episode Four and you want to be on Emmeline's Path, then in the final scene of the episode (i.e. when you and Emmeline are in your apartment) you need to go back to at least the following choice while you are eating together:

"She's right, you're too different"
"She's perfect for you"

You must make this choice again. Otherwise when Episode Five is released the game will not recognize that you are on Emmeline's path.

I apologize sincerely for this mistake.

Fixed a bug where animations from a lewd scene weren't showing.
Fixed several other grammar/typo issues.

I'm very happy to announce the release of Leaving DNA: Episode Four! Thank you for your patience. I know that production of this episode took awhile, but I'm very happy with the final product. I hope you have a memorable and engaging experience with this new update and that when you finish you will already start pushing me to finish Episode Five!

Edit: I am getting some reports that a few players are finding some of their old saves don't work. I sincerely apologize if this happens to you! You can try reloading a different save, but if you do have to start over, remember you can use the "CTRL" button to skip through content you've already seen.

(Buying Leaving DNA now gives you access to all future episodes.)

Changelog Episode Four:

35,722 words of dialogue
3,751 still renders
4 unlockable bonus renders
70 lewd animations
3 story lewd scenes
1 unlockable bonus lewd scene
31 music tracks
Updated walkthrough PDF

Also see this previous announcement re a bug.

Leaving DNA: Episode Four will be released on Steam on Tuesday, February 4th. I'll post an episode changelog on the 4th, but the game now features nearly 10,000 still renders with over 100 lewd animations. There are over 110,000 words of dialogue for Episodes One through Four.

If you have already purchased the game on Steam, the new episode is already included with your purchase. All you will have to do is login and the Steam client will automatically update your game.

I do need to make you aware of one bug I found and have fixed for Episode Four. Remember this choice back in Episode Two?



Unfortunately, due to a typo in my coding, the game did not save your choice for this menu. If you are only interested in dating one of the four LI's, then don't worry about this--she doesn't do much regardless of what you chose. But if you are interested in getting to know her a little better then you will need to reload a save from the very beginning of Episode Two or end of Episode One to make this choice again. Remember that in any Ren'py game you can press and hold "CTRL" to quickly skip through content you have already seen. I apologize for the bug.

I will talk to you on February 4th and thank you very much for your patience!
