Christmas isn't that well-known around the world, and the tree became common (in christian world) at about 19th century. So it is quite possible they do not know about the tree.
Besides I doubt someone like Jesus would be famous at all now that there are lots of magis. Most of Jesus' miracles, except maybe for resurrection, could be quite common back in their world. In fact most of them celebrate some winter holiday (and Blair actually celebrates Yule) is quite enough for echo.
What I don't really understand here is, what is with Lyriel and Yona.

Dev indeed does a great job remaking most of the xmas scene to add in Blair. The only problem is, now the cuddling on soft is a bit crowded. It was already crowded without Blair, squeezing Blair in makes things worse. In 21 version, MC only have Rae lying on him, now he has Rae and Blair.

Seriously...It depends on where you are. Christians amounts to about a third of population. For the rest Christmas is probably discouraged and sometimes even banned for various reason. Some might know very little about Christmas except it is a big holiday and maybe also the tree.
But really I probably should write "wasn't that well-known"...

Just realized from your post that there are new pictures in gallery......
Quite frankly, if someone just shows them to me without any background, I probably won't recognize them....

While that is true, for the "isn't" instead of "wasn't": since Christmas is very prevalent in the US culture exported around the globe, it is very often adopted as a secular holiday (often with its own regional traditions by now) in many not-at-all christian countries. Of course they may often not really care about the story behind it, as with many other secular holidays (like Halloween, while we're at specials, how many celebrating it can tell how it came to pass?). Or even their own religious ones: what was it about Pentecost? I guess many won't really know even if they are Christians.

Christmas may not be widely celebrated in some countries, but do you really believe that they don't know anything about it? And as for "was", half the girls appear to come from late-medieval to Renaissance European backgrounds and Naomi is Caribbean. Why should it matter whether Christmas was known or not in parts of the world that they are not from?

The real christmas gift would be a Yona scene.

pls

This should probably say "thought" its during breakfast scene with Rae

Is this game somehow hidden in this forum? I check the "latest updates" very often and no a house in the rift showed up. Even after searching manually multiple times I could not find this thread anywhere

It was there in LATEST UPDATES yesterday (which I how I knew it had been updated) but now if you search by name it shows up as "3 weeks ago" despite the OP being marked as 2022-12-24.

Now finally shows up in latest updates!

outside of some extremely disconnected places with people who definitely aren't on here because they live in a jungle or island or dictatorship, most people are aware of christmas because most of the world consumes american media to some extent... that includes china, india and much of the middle east. christmas music, movies, references to it in books, cartoons, tv shows, news pieces, whatever... i'd even say a far greater number of people know about christmas through those means than the number of people who celebrate it

With Naomi talking about kids/pregnancy in some of her scenes, I have to ask, is it bait or foreshadowing?

Probably in the endgame. Naomi is very much someone with strong maternal instincts, as evidenced by how she treats Caitlin and her crew. And therein lies the core of her problem, Naomi can only see them as "her gyals", not as partners or equals, but someone to be mothered and looked after.

Been playing and following this game since the first version, and what a journey has been so far, improving the game, the animations, and also having an interesting story that make me care about the characters.

This game is great and this update was amazing.

Happy Holidays you all reading this.

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays, folks! In the spirit of the holidays, v0.6.8 went public a little earlier than usual, and the master post is now updated!

And sorry about being absent from the thread for a while, been meaning to do one of my big reply posts for a while, but a bit swamped with stuff right now.

Hello, i still cant seem to save on joiplay, you mind giving some help if im doing something wrong?

 

[rcop101]

Is there a dark mode for the Menu? I'm asking for a friend.

My eyes kinda hurt after a while, I mean his eyes.

After a while? How long are you staring at the menu instead of playing the game? To answer your question, AFAIK there is no "dark mode" for the menu.

So, here's a question: why the hell are 2 elf girls in the christmas dream named after guys? is it some sort of an inside joke? did someone play a prank on the devs with the names? seriously, the second i see their names, any thought of a good time is gone in a flash. or is that the intended purpose?
for those that don't get it: Irinel and Viorel are male names. have been since the times of the roman empire, as far as i know. they have female counterparts but these 2 are specifically used.
