Cicada Springs (v0.9.6.3) / Public Demo Available!

The demo version caps the players at a week, but the full version gives you the full thirty days! Those thirty days are all that you’ll have before the game ends and the epilogues start. There are 5 planned secret endings, among the other “normal” endings that change depending on the players’ actions and can sort of overlap with one another.

Is there any other way to “pass time” than working/sleeping? For some reason i feel like i’m missing something obvious in making money, even freelance coder barely earns enough

Unfortunately, the only ways to pass time to the evening are working or napping until the evening. You should be getting more money every time you put in a few extra hours - I’ll see how bumping up that extra rate affects things.

I think that capped freelancer earns 12 money every day, it’s not enough to fatten up all girls during one gameplay, especially if you consider that “odd” food is pure RNG when it comes to gaining and if i remember correctly, some girls eat only odd food.

At long last, I have a playable demo again!

After breaking and rebreaking (and then rebreaking again and again) this game over the past few months, I’m at a place where I’m happy to have something publicly available for all to play!

This has been a long time coming and, thanks to the support of my patrons and the help of a team of bug-squashers over on my Discord server, Cicada Springs finally has a demo that’s worthy of playing! I think the last time we had one of these was in version 0.4. - and we’re at version 0.9.6. now! So much has changed since the year I released the previous demo, you guys.

The most recent version of the game is not finished yet. But it’s also in a much more stable place, where a demo build is possible. If you would like to help support me as I make fun fatlit games like Cicada Springs, Coven of Calahree, or even just get full access to all of my stories, consider subscribing on Patreon!

This is a free version of the game designed to give folks a sneak peek at what I’ve been cooking, and get a better idea at where this game’s going to land now that we’re inching closer and closer towards the finish line.

Thank you all again for your continued support as I continue to tame this beast, and I hope you enjoy what you play of the new and improved Cicada Springs.

I’ve gone ahead and updated the main post with the current build and the new demo. Go check it out!

The Mega download of the new demo doesn’t seem to work, just keeps erroring on loop. Is it just me or do other people have the same problem?

Hi!
How or where can I find the code for the vending machine? Or better: Is the code for the vending machine in the demo?

Hey, I just checked the link from two separate devices, logged in and logged off. It seems to be working so far, but there was a brief window where I edited the link. Maybe that’s it? Sorry about the trouble!

The code will be dropped through breadcrumbs in the final version. Right now, it’s not programmed in. It won’t do much for you in the Demo mode, but the code is all 9’s (for now)

Thank you for the fast answer and for sharing the current code.
