Looks interesting

 

[TiffanyMonroe]

What gift is reading people? Is that translated from reading minds or some actual power?

 

[Johnny Bravo.]

Another anime VN it looks pretty interesting.

 

[rKnight]

Any similarities to real life is purely coincidental:

"Welcome to F95zone, a place where those who feel like outcasts can belong.
Here, you’ll meet various other characters with extraordinary jerking-off talents," ...I leave it there.

Nice start. Good luck and a lot of motivation with your future game development

I've got some events that I can't complete or that won't show as complete.

Hi everyone, actual game dev here

I wasn't expecting the game to end up on F95zone so quickly. I actually wanted to wait until Chapter 1 was finished, because a few more things will get clarified and refined.

First off - thanks for all the reports about events. I'll look into it. There might be something off with how the menu itself checks for triggers.

Spoiler

I think the others were answered, but events becoming unclickable is definitely something that shouldn't be happening! I'll do a fresh playthrough for myself and see what's up. If you can list the events that became unclickable, it would help a lot.

I'm also planning on putting out a much more specific guide for supporters with the release of Chapter 1. The hints should remain somewhat cryptic for those who wish to explore, while the guide will give straight answers to those who want to get through the story. For now, I'll just tell you that Trust doesn't need to be above 10 for any of the triggers. I'm not planning on making the game a point grind.

Spoiler: Superpowers?

Thanks for anyone who's taken an interest I'll address all the issues listed here and... There will be a post about future plans on my Patreon page eventually. Let's just say, this is the start of something I hope to turn into a very epic story with more characters, more mystery and obviously lots of fan-service.

Well if you want I can remove the superpowers tag. You know better than me about which genre the game fits lol. Also let me know if you think some other tag is misleading or if some tag should be there but is missing.

Let me just say thanks for actually doing the work and posting the game here - Thank you!
Though I wasn't planning on it yet, you did save me the hassle of putting the post together and I appreciate that.

As for tags, I'm not too familiar with what floats around on the forums. For now, I would remove the "superpowers" tag, "sci-fi" tag and the "monster girl" tag. I feel like players expect something unnatural when it comes to powers and sci-fi might have them expecting aliens, space and the like. There are definitely no monster girls in the game, though.

There are and will be plenty of psychological horror elements.

Not sure if there's a tag for that and what sort of expectations come with it.

Someone on itch.io suggested I add "harem" on there, because you eventually do get with all the girls. Not sure if it's relevant here. There's also humor, teasing... One of the characters could be considered a loli... A bunch of other tags will be added with updates.

These are my initial thoughts, but I'll let veterans of the forums who enjoy the game chime in

This is really weird. That one should absolutely be unlocked if you've managed to progress this far and as such, should be clickable for a replay. You also mentioned other events becoming unclickable and having to repeat them. It's like the menu suddenly decided to disregard your progress.

This hasn't happened to me during testing. if you can remember anything about the circumstances of when it occurred, that would be helpful.

I can't tell you what I actually did to trigger it, since I only looked closer at the events when nothing new happened for a while. No other events were unclickable for me and don't worry about that one. I will start a new playthrough with the next version of the game.


One minor thing I disliked about the game so far was that it had me visit the same room up to 21 times in a row, to check if I missed an event there. It's a bit tedious, even with skip.

 

[The_Lost_One]

I'm checking it now and indeed, Luxe's events seem to be bugged. I'm not yet sure why yet. The other characters are all fine.
EDIT: It's actually only the events related to her conversation options. They don't register until they're triggered a second time. This is definitely something I need to fix, so thank you for pointing it out!

I can see the constant visits becoming tedious. The girls do have a fixed schedule, but they only appear in their room outside of specific events, which probably defeats the purpose of said schedule. Thanks for the input, I'll think of a way to make the experience smoother for the next version.

 

[Jeevant]

thanks for actually doing the work and posting the game here - Thank you!

No problem!

As for tags, I'm not too familiar with what floats around on the forums

You might want to check this for getting an idea of what tags we have here and for what they stand. And only the current in-game tags are counted.

There are definitely no monster girls in the game, though.

Removed monster girls tag.

I add "harem" on there

Harem can not go in the tags over here:

but harem can be added in planned tags category if there are more of planned tags not in game yet.

Not sure if there's a tag for that and what sort of expectations come with it.

Well there is a horror tag but the question again is--- is there horror content yet in game?

humor, teasing... One of the characters could be considered a loli.

Added.

 

[The_Lost_One]

Thanks, I've read through the rules. Lets leave the tags as they are now. There is a bit of psychological horror moments in the prologue, but they'll be more prominent in Chapter 1.

Speaking of, I can take over the thread when I release that version (if possible), so you don't have to stress yourself over further updates

 

[Yoru]

Looks interesting. Thanks for the share!

 

[The_Lost_One]

For those of you who noticed a bug with Luxe's conversation events not registering correctly in her profile - I believe I've found the reason!

Because of the huge window in her room, I felt the need to make an evening version of her events for the sake immersion. I'm almost certain this duplicate set of events is what's causing the triggers to not register correctly. Technically, if you trigger something in the evening, the game can't replay the day scene, since it hasn't occurred yet.

I can't do anything to fix it now, so either avoid talking to her in the evenings or make sure to trigger the events during daytime as well. In the next release, I'll be replacing the evening conversations with something you'll enjoy a lot more anyway
