Overview
Welcome to The Fosters! You play as a young man trying to rid your life of the abusive man who has moved into your home and is taking advantage of your family. Will you be able to save your mother, sister, and the foster children who live with you or will you become a victim of Big John?
Big John can't get it up and he's gay. He's not touching "your" girls. Linda isn't a love interest. You can rape her in her sleep, if that's your thing, but don't complain when you get punished for it. You don't have to work for anyone. Don't want to work for Big John? No problem, it doesn't happen. Want to work for Big John? Too bad, you never get the opportunity. Will all of the girls be safe? From who? From other men? Yes, always. From you? Depends on how much of an asshole you are.
There, you happy with yourself? Can you be safe in your little life, knowing that an imaginary man isn't going to hurt the girl you like?
So, here's the deal with the points. They may not seem like what you expect from alpha and beta behaviors, and you'd be correct for the actual philosophical definitions of alpha behaviors. However, many of the people who consider themselves to be alphas are warping the behavioral characteristics. Where the behaviors include self-sufficiency, pride, and ambition, many turn to selfishness. Where there should be inner strength and boldness, they become bullies. These individuals completely ignore the inner reflection, learning from mistakes, and most importantly, putting the tribe first. This is what Jack has observed throughout his life, both in person and through the media he consumes.

Jack's points are being awarded based on behaviors he has seen being attributed to alphas and betas (which are also warped). Remember who his male "role-model" has been for most of his life. Much like what he may think is acceptable behavior with women is warped by his past, so is his idea of how a man should act and treat others.

This is my first project and my first time using and learning Daz3D. I'm sure you will see problems with the images. I apologize for that and I'm trying to get better as I go along. Trust me, what you're seeing already includes several redone images. Let me know if you see ways that I can improve.

The Fosters Song Hunt!
Chapter 5, subtitled The Musical, is full of song lyrics. Some are sung by a character and others are thrown into the dialogue and narration. Sometimes the words are straight from a song and sometimes they're slightly different, but still recognizable. Your task is to find the song references and lyrics in Chapter 5. If you can find them all, there will be great* prizes available!

For my subs: If you are already subscribed to SubscribeStar, Patreon, or Discord Membership, the first person in each tier will receive a 2 month upgrade to the next level for no extra cost! Blackest Black tier members will be able to personally decide** the content of the next 4 special renders!
If you aren't a sub: The first 5 people to find all of the songs, will receive a free Fan tier subscription, to the service of your choice, for 2 months!

So... Once Chapter 5 drops, don't delay, download it and get playing! Don't forget, you'll need multiple paths to find everything. Itch.io early release sales of chapter 5 will not happen, to put all tiers and non-players at equal levels. Submissions should be made on my Discord server, in the #contest-entries channel.

*Greatness of prize is relative and value is dependent on the current status of each winner.
**13 will have final approval of special render concepts. Though he doesn't foresee any likely issues, there are a couple things he's not prepared to subject his girls to.

The contest is officially closed!

Known Issues-
If you load an old save and then open the Profiles screen for the first time, it could return errors or missing images. I suggest, before loading a saved game, you start a new game and then open the Profiles screen. After doing that, and loading the Profile baseline at the start of the game, you could try loading your game. Maybe... that might work. Or, and this might sound crazy, play through the game again, but choose things you didn't try before. Then after that playthrough, go back and load your old saves.
If you do get errors on the Profiles page, try the Reset button on the Profiles screen.

v0.04c
This fixes a few flag errors. There might have been a couple typos fixed, too.
One of the flags was with Linda's night visit, which may have given you problems. Another wasn't used in chapter 4 and a fix is coded into chapter 5. If you don't visit Linda on the 4th night, you don't need to download this. No new content in this one.
