Glad to see you've come so far with your game! Now that this games more or less finished, and when you're done moving and all, is there going to be a resurgence in The Manifest? definitely got hype on that one!
I released it as the individual update only file as I have restricted mobile internet only (soon to be resolved, moving office ASAP) and was saving the big uploads for v.0.16.2.
v.0.16.2 is out now, and that has been uploaded fully to all the versions so if you used the Itch app it will automatically update now.
Hi I'm on android and am trying to download the new update. It's asking me to copy the "DefendingLydiaCollier-v0.15.9-assets-the66-rpa" asset pack into "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.defending.lydia.collier.the66/files/game"
I'm not too sure on how to do this, could you please assist me with this.
Because the game is now bigger than 2GB it won't work as just an .apk anymore so you need the second file.
Download the second file (the .rpa file labelled as "2/2" on the download page) and then move the .rpa file (just the .rpa asset file, don't move the .apk file) to "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.defending.lydia.collier.the66/files/game", then launch the game normally as you would via the apk,
How to move files can depend a lot on the specific device, here is a guide from Google and a generic video from YouTube, if it seems different on your phone you might need to search your phone's make and model and then "moving files", but this should work on nearly all devices:
Could someone give me a step by step on how to download this on Mac if possible please. I've never had problems with smaller downloads in the past and the demo works, but i think because of the size of this one its being a bit more difficult. Basically once I get the zip file and try to open it archive utility gives me an error saying "unable to expand into downloads error 1 operation not permitted" If anyone could help with this it would be much appreciated thanks.
Generally the Mac build should just work as long as you have applications by unknown developers turned on.
I occasionally have problems with the Mac build pop up. At the moment I can't help with this as I am PC only and generally it works, but because of these I have bought a refurbished Mac that is due to be delivered between the 20th and 27th of July so I can be a bit more useful on this in the future.
Once I've figured out how it all works I'll send the game over to myself, get it up and running and I'll reply again if nobody else does beforehand with a step by step guide on how to get it working.
Yes the walkthrough will be updated soon, probably with v.0.15 as it will spoil a ton of the story stuff and I want people to have a playthrough before they know all the best answers. Is there a specific scene you're looking for in the gallery though and I can tell you how to unlock it?
That one would be Scene 7, if you have the walkthrough that one is in there, only the new v.0.14 is missing.
In order to unlock it you need to go back to Steph's house on Day 9 when she invites you to stay over, but do not have anal sex with her when she cannot find the condoms!
She'll give you a blowjob instead and it will unlock that scene.
My first purchased game on Itch.io! The demo is a solid game in and it self and I feel like the quantity & quality of content was well worth the ticket price after enjoying the demo so much.
hi i have v13.0, i read that i have to download 13.1 then to 13.2 thats located in the v13.0 file, but i cant find where it is. can you help me locate the 13.1/13.2 located in the 13.0 folder pls. ty
Please just download the "Defending Lydia Collier v.0.13.2 from v.0.13" folder, unzip it and drag and drop it into your "game" folder and overwrite/replace the conflicts.
This will apply v.0.13.1 as well as v.0.13.2 and bring you up to date.
Currently being worked on, next update will be over 4,000 renders long and bigger than my own previous update and most Adult Visual Novels, but it does take some time! Feel free to follow me on Twitter (@WhitePhantom18) or join my Discord https://discord.gg/qEB2mcK to keep up with all the latest updates!

Hello, thank you, you should be able to "Ignore" this for now and proceed, or alternatively edit the script in notepad by adding default OFFICEBETA = FALSE at the start to fix it permanently, but it has been fixed for the v.0.13 update.
This is one of the best AVN games I've ever played, and it's only a 10th of what would be in the full game! Characters are all easily identifiable but not one-note, your choices have a genuine impact, the sex scenes are great and you actually care about the story.
I'm unsure whether this is an issue or whether it's simply to simplify earlier production by having hard-stop choices, but some paths end because you didn't take the option to *go out of your way* to impress them feels strange. For example, [SPOILERS] if you go to the pub with Steph instead of Ellie, suddenly Ellie seems to have no interest in you anymore? Or how you can contact Jenna on Steph's romantic route, but not her bimbo route? [SPOILERS]
Once again I'm assuming it's just a case of simplifying for early production, but just wanted to point it out as a bit confusing. If anything, it speaks to just how good the game is that what may be expected in other games feels strange in this one.
Hello, yes this will be fixed in the final version once the last new update (0.16) is done. Then I'll go back and add/edit scenes so things like closing a path and the character reacting makes more sense and are more fleshed out.
The reason with the Bimbo Route is simply the opportunity, if you make Steph a Bimbo, she is with you virtually 24/7 for the rest of the game as she quits her job. Whereas non-Bimbo she will be working as a Police Officer still full-time, giving you the opportunity to see Jenna.
So you'll be definitely closing them off rather than allowing them to intertwine? I know that obviously intertwining them would be a lot more work, but for some characters, it feels like it could work. For example with Bimbo Steph and Jenna, it feels like Jenna could be the side-chick and eventually be brought in once Steph has been totally 'bimbofied', or that Ellie could become a side-chick with Connie (I assume that since Connie and Steph are very much one or the other that the possibility of them together would be difficult). Either way, excellent game as I said before.
Some may intertwine, but most will be closed off. There are already two different paths for each girl, enabling these all to interlink would be too much for me to develop without years between updates. The Game also is set to have its finale Tuesday Evening (next update is Saturday) so there isn't a great deal of time left for those relationships to now develop if they haven't already been started.
There is no much room for improvement as the game is really great but the mechanics could be improved by adding some building MC character features through tough moral decisions.
Whats going on with this phone passcode thing? I started over because i couldnt log into the phone and thought i forgot my username but i still havent seen anything to lets me even make an account yet.
Hello, sorry about that. The Android Port is provided by a member of the community and they had some trouble with their link. I've updated a new one they provided me and it should now be up and running. Let me know if there are any further issues with it!
Just wanna say I think your games are awesome! really enjoyed the writing and the art style is amazing too, can really tell a lot of time and effort goes into creation! The characters are gorgeous, and it's kinda nice to not have the same old macho MC that a thousand other games have. Looking forward to the next update :)
there is a bug with one of the TITAN articles on the browser that prevents the player from reading it, gives a bug prompt and we have to rollback. i did two different gameplays and it only happened in one of them and maybe it is related with the lydia route. idk

I have yet to get the Mac version 16.2 to launch, even after doing a chmod -R 755 to reset the permissions. The demo worked fine. Ideas?

Hey hope you had a good break, is the week 13 update coming at some point as I have noticed a couple are missing on my list.
Sorry I appear to have missed a few here, I've just posted one detailing where I'm up to with some new previews.
does the game has walkthrough for latest update 0.15 walkthrough?
Hello,
I think it was the correct, up to date one, I'd just labelled it incorrectly.
To be sure I've reuploaded the v.0.15 walkthrough and labelled it properly this time, its in the downloads.
Thanks for pointing this out!
WP
Whistle id codes ?
Hello,
Check Chloe's Our Moments page!
She posts a picture of her holding a sign with them on when her private page becomes unlockable.
Thanks,

I thought V.0.15 was getting released on 12/10. Do we have to wait for it with the itch version?
Hello,
The Update Only Files were released yesterday on the 10th, download them and unzip, drag and drop to your game folder if you already have v.0.14.1.
Full builds have now also finished uploading and are all available!
WP
I m very happy I bought this game, absolute worth it, great work!
Yet some scene I just cant get to them. Will there be an update to the walkthrough?
Hello,
Glad you are enjoying the game.
Yes the walkthrough will be updated soon, probably with v.0.15 as it will spoil a ton of the story stuff and I want people to have a playthrough before they know all the best answers. Is there a specific scene you're looking for in the gallery though and I can tell you how to unlock it?
Thanks for your support,

Hi,
it is a Steph scene.
In the gallery it is first page, the first one in the thrid row.
On the picture you can see her wearing the slave collar.
I got all the other scenes, just this one I seem to miss somehow.
Thanks for your replay, have a nice day!
Hi,
That one would be Scene 7, if you have the walkthrough that one is in there, only the new v.0.14 is missing.

any femdom in this game?
Not at present, female on female domination is planned but female on male domination is not going to be added.
Totally awesome game. One of the best I've played.

1. Android version cannot be downloaded (missing file).
2. The game ended suddenly before the flight to the vacation
Hello, thanks for letting me know, a new android link has been added for v.0.12.1.
what about the game ending suddenly before the vacation?
The first day of vacation is fully included in v.0.12.1 from the morning to flight then arrival and the first night at the villa.
This game is currently sixth in my Best VNs ranking (you can see my full ranking here: https://vnrank.blogspot.com/2021/11/ranking.html)
There is no much room for improvement as the game is really great but the mechanics could be improved by adding some building MC character features through tough moral decisions.
Is 0.12 gonna be available anytime soon or will the new update talked about in the news be the only one released to the public?
New updates are available to the public seven days after release to Early Access, so the Defending Lydia Collier v.0.12 BETA is now available here.
Hey. When is the next update for the game? Still waiting after 11.3
