The variety on offer here is astounding.
Several of the characters are my jam, so I'll be giving this one a whirl.
People that badger you for anims don't actually seem to care about the game YOU want to make, supplanting it with the game THEY wish they could make but lack the ability. I agree with you though; Animations != Quality.

Its not that I dont use Quality... I render allways in 4k.. since Day 3
why I dont make "Full Animations?" I have only 1 Pc and its stupid to render HQ Anims and do nothing else in this time.
And Animations are not a pref for Quality.
You have the following you have because you had a vision and you created it, no one else. You stick with it and don't be swayed by anyone who want's animation for their instant gratification. This VN is a stand alone gem, and for that reason don't side with the crowd and let the creative juices flow... eh ehm. Pardon the pun.

bugfix for the missing labels when playing the censored game:

either place the attached file in the game folder or if you've extracted the rpa files, simply delete patch_init.rpy + patch_init.rpyc.
this should solve your problem.

use this file only when playing the here posted censored version of Week 2 Day 10!
If you search it, you find it.
D11 release with all fixes will be out this week for Patrons and Subscriber

I read the premise and a couple of comments and got exited about the game. But I expected a lot more than i got. i'm done with day 3 from week 1 and to be honest it's hard to continue...

the storytelling is terrible. some sentences don't make sense at all, but i guess english may not be strongest language of the dev, so i don't hold that against him. but even if we ignore that, the story is still badly told.
story scenes are jumpy, you have to constantly fill story beats with your mind. it's like a kid trying to tell a story, and is constantly forgetting to tell things and you have to ask him yourself, with the exception that here you can't actually ask. and just to be clear, i'm not talking about foreshadowing and plot points that are held back intentionally. those are ok. i'm talking about regular stuff.
i will give the freshest example for me - so MC is talking with Amber, she is telling about her backstory and his dad being a horrible person. then suddenly, Zeus appears (and appears is actually wrong word, if she ACTUALLY appeared it would help, but she is just there, among more characters) talking about wiping his memory and whatever, and you are reading like a whole new scene. by the end of it you start to grasp what they are talking about and you see MC on the ground behind them so you put two and two together. i mean ok, at that point you connect the dots, but that's still terrible storytelling. there is no transition. add a bit of narration, how they appear and freeze time (if that's what actually even happened), lead the reader in their thinking - why they appeared, why they want to wipe his memory, how they do it. yes the reader would eventually understand things after like 10-15 sentences, but when you are doing this constantly it's frustrating and exhausting.
and this happens ALL THE TIME. even during mid scenes. i'm constantly thinking i have skipped something and i return back, only to find out i didn't. it's like someone took the text and deleted like 30-40% of the sentences at random and you are left with one hot mess to read.
another point is that everything happens way too fast, all characters are basically naked from the get go and they want your dick. no foreplay, no winning them over, nothing. yes some say "i don't want now, maybe later." but that's it... I get that some people prefer faster games, with not a lot of reading, hell i hate the games where you have to read like 4 hours just to change the scene, but this is on the other extreme.

the characters - there are a lot. but as of now, i don't see the point of it, except for having different models. most characters feel the same, they act the same. only their appearance is different. none of them have any personality whatsoever, at least not as of end of day 3. even with the backstory we are given about some of them, they still feel hollow and uninteresting.

the graphics - the models are nice, they feel cute and sexy. the strange is that they are sexy until the sex scene happens. the sex scenes themselves are not very good and don't feel that sexy. partly because of the writing (lick, lick, moan, moan) partly because of the images themselves - they just feel very lifeless, and i don't think smoother animations would help. it's more of placing of character, camera angles and again - writing.


usually i try to give more of a constructive criticism. but here, there is no foundation on which i can stand on and be constructive. other than advising the devs to take some classes on storytelling and writing. focusing more on the quality of the characters instead of their quantity. just ditch some so you can focus more on the others, and i don't mean 4k rendering and things like that, i mean fleshing them out as character. so they feel different and interesting.

at this point I'm more willing to just look at at this as a pictures without context, than actually playing/reading it.

I haven't played this in a long time and decided to play again, I shouldn't have stopped playing it, it's a really good game. It would be perfect if the animations were a little bit better. But still a great game. Can't wait for the next update.

A friendly warning to anybody playing Week 2 day 11 (still in patron-only release): lewdpatcher.com is currently showing the WRONG patch as the most current patch. You have to click on "Show Previous Versions" and select the week 2 day 11 patch.

Also, don't be surprised if you have difficulty importing your week 1 saves. The code is incredibly finicky and will refuse to import a game if it finds ANY saves from the wrong version (has to be final and match the censored/uncensored status of the week 2 install). There's a fix available in discord in the supporters section (bugs channel).

The cool thing about this game is that you never really know what is going to happen next. I just wish we could spend more time with the girls, it feels like the mc just jumps from place to place and you never really get to know the characters that well. We didn't even spend that much time in the school and we met a bunch of characters there.

Does anyone know how close is this game to being finished? Just curious, the MC seems to be really close to finding out who his parents are, and I feel like when he finds that out, we are at the endgame. Or maybe not this game is very unpredictable. With so many characters it would kind of suck if it was a short game.

Seems like there is a lot more to go.

I realy dont know, it depends on my targets at subscribestar and patreon.
Yeah that is understandable, with so many characters there is still a lot you can do, I feel like we only explored the tip of the iceberg with this game, but the funding has to be there for it to continue.

I would like to know if someone managed to change the language of the game, both 1 and 2 and if they could help me, because I'm trying to translate the game to PTBR and I can't enable this option
