As for the periodical harem discussion, let me bring back a couple of my posts from earlier this year:





Now, after reading again the definition of the "harem" tag there's something that just dawned on me: Wouldn't it be necessary for everyone to have sex at the same time, that is, an orgy?
"all engaging in consensual sex simultaneously."
According to this site's definition, there wouldn't be a harem if the MC has simultaneous romantic relationships with 3 girls but has sex with them only separately, 1 by 1.
Phrasing is poor. Harem indicates consensual relationships with 3 or more persons simultaneously - no requirement for sexual acts with multiple partners simultaneously. The latter would be 'group sex', but that tag is not always applied on this site.

I was thinking maybe English isn't the Dev's first language. maybe it's outfit instead of dress.
Dunno. But I do know that gooooooogle translate did NOT produce this from the dev's patreon post here and it's sentence structure and grammar are just fine. Considering how long the mass amount of grammatical issues have persisted, it would seem prudent to hire a proof reader. It is what it is.

It may very well have insulted TLG, but I basically stated that the game could be great and offered my services to edit and proofread. Also to fix some of the terrible plot holes. You know it is weird, I usually hate games with plots that have issues, and bad writing, but I was sucked in on this one a fair bit. I blame Jenny lol.
Peace

Well, I think I seriously fucked up my save haha. I accepted all possible paths, even though I noticed in the cheat option once a romantic option of a character enabled, and another disabled lol but I only had sex with one of them. I've got a soft heart, man. I don't want to see them sad lol

Yeah, that seems indeed like the most plausible and logical explanation.
In any case, I stand by what I wrote months ago: this site could use a "full harem" tag separate from the current harem tag to point out that in the former you will be able to have relationships with as many women as you want from the cast, while the latter only allows a restricted number of simultaneous relationships (at least 3).

I've also mentioned that before: the dev's writing skills in English are mind-boggling because he's capable of the best and the worst.
I would venture to say that he has a pretty decent level of English, yet during his learning process some grammatical or syntactic errors became fossilized (that's the exact term in linguistics) and he can't for the life of him get rid of them, e.g. past simple instead of present simple and vice versa.

Again,
I reached out to him. I would not re-write this thing for free, but I have experience in cleaning up AVN. Furthermore, I know of two ways to make his scenario a bit less flakey and far-fetched. I believe I, or any half way decent author could salvage the mess that this is plot and linguistically speaking, and turn it into a huge money maker.

For one thing, the MC is a lot more likeable, at least potentially, than 99% of the college boy meets college girls and assorted milfs stories- Looking at DPC there. The basic bones of the story are there, and could be salvaged. If TLG reads this, I hope he considers my offer to help.

This is not currently a true harem game, and the way it seems to be set up with the various variables, I really doubt that without some serious re-scripting, it just won't be possible for a full on harem.

Now, personally, I am good with that. Those who want a true harem though, are going to have to either wait and see if there is some serious modding-looking at you Sancho1969 :D or just plain or rewrites.

I think it is far too much work to do pro bono. Certainly I wouldn't want to take this on unless I got a percentage stake in the game. Who knows though!? If Aristos is right and he actually knows English as a second language, and can fix the pickle his scripting has created to try and salvage the good bones and turn this to a platinum award winner, then maybe....... Naw... Fuck that. If he could do that, why would he have it as sloppy and fucked up as it is now LOL?

Well, we shall see!
Peace my friends

Nah, I'll pass. The dynamic ChoiceGuide will always let you know what the choices will award the player, and what it could have awarded and why it won't. That's philosophically different that a script story plot rewrite. I haven't (to date) ever changed any scripting of any dev as my purpose with SanchoMod is to enhance their product vision not deprecate it into some other beast entirely. It's just my MO with my particular current mod product.

At the end of the day if someone wanted to make this a kinetic novel out of this VN then take out all the jumps and synchronize the scene orders then... bam, instant harem-fest :ROFLMAO:

BTW folks, I apologize for the delay releasing the mod but other VN's I already have distributed keep dropping updates so I had to pause and work on them. I've been at it for 14+ hrs a day so it's not due to lack of effort for sure. I have another that just fucking dropped a couple hours ago so I have to know it out but if I remember correctly I was simply honing the SanchoCheats section (which was giving me a few fits, ain't gonna lie) but was relatively 99.9% done. It'll be soon so folks can play around with it and insure it's bulletproof in preparation for Ch6. That's the goal anyway. Regards.

Hey guys...do you have the original walkthrough links, from dev's patreon (not the fan walkthrough)

The original walkthrough is not as detailed as Meushi's.
Believe me, you don't need it. The official one is quite superficial and doesn't always explain all the consequences of your choices.

I will say, and I am not shitting you, that I went in without a walkthrough for my first play in over a year, nor did I peak at the code myself, I was proudly an utter failure, making the choices I thought I should make for Jenny... I had ZERO girlfriend types after that disaster.
Peace

So I play the game from the start again and after the call with ashley for the first time a skip button appeared on the top left of your screen and nothing shows up than the skip button. Is this a bug? Because I think there has to be something to show up but nothing is showing up.
I have this problem too. Is it a bug?

Valery is my personal favourite but Ashley is just the perfect heroine for this VN, I almost always never consider the childhood friend as the number 1 girl so the fact that she stands out so much says a lot. The only reason Sung Ji is so low is because she is Ashley's best friend so the route hits me with so much guilt.

yeah, there really isn't a harem. If you go digging through the script you can see all the shit that happens when you choose to do some action which favors one girl and shuts down all but 2 side romances, which never (to date) go beyond side romance stage.

SanchoMod final teaser (hopefully)

After way too many days sidetracked updating other VN's that dropped updates I already have published mods for and getting those squared I got back into finalizing this mod. I last left off with the SanchoCheats and now have it's final version coded for initial distribution:
1654376325319.png
Anytime you change the routes it automatically turns On/Off (True/False) the necessary other variables to keep your playthrough as pure as possible while cheating. This was a bitch to code and get right due to many 1/2 routes with some LIs, full routes with some, and zero with others. I had to account for every single possibility to do this accurately which proved to be more of a challenge than my BaDIK cheats. But anyway, it's done. I fixed all the bugs I ran into but there's a lot so some may have slipped by. I'm wrapping up final minor GUI tweaking here and there while speedrunning a few more times to insure integrity (as I always do). After that passes I'll compile this sucker up and chunk it on two or three testbench systems to insure integrity there, then I'll distribute.

While doing all that I'll start making a mod thread to post everything in like my other mods. This is usually where the longest delay for public visibility occurs. The new threads don't pass moderator approval without links (so the mod has to be done and updloaded before I can submit the thread) AND once that's done it usually takes overnight for the threads to be approved for public viewing. I have no idea why it always takes up to 12hrs to get threads approved but it is what it is.

Sancho1969 With the quality of your mods you make it almost impossible to start a new game without waiting to see if you make a mod for it xD

Joking aside (although there's a lot of truth in it) I can only thank you for your good work and I'm looking forward to being able to play the next game with your mod

Damnit!

I forgot to add a SanchoMod first... To be included on the mod's page will be access to my very first exclusive DLC! Yours for the extremely overly inflated high price of absolutely nothing! (Hint: If you have the DLC installed my normal stat screen music is changed to a certain particular Tutone fitting song) ;)
