can someone confirm me if the last scene of this update and the pool at the weekend? where do you make a snack for mom, because after that, i don't know what to do anymore ... the game didn't say if all the content is over so i wanted to know if there is anything else to do in this update
yo is the pool thing with the mom the last thing?? ive tried skipping days and talking to everyone
You can do different things with Meg on the weekends so it depends if you completed her other quests as well. You also get different dialogues with certain characters on different times of day.

I can't play the game. The screen is getting dark blank and then game popping suddenly. Any advice? It's just keep repeating.
What are your computer specs/platform?

Characters kinda remind me of those Fear Effect games back in PS1... What're they made it? Modde-up Illusion game?
Nope, these are 3d modelled from the bottom up.

This is the best art in any game I've ever seen. I can't wait for more content!
best game
Thanks! :p

"A lot of anime and cartoons do this, so it's ok if we do it too"
The faces, textures and 3d models are different. Due to the cartoon style of the game I removed the facial lines and skin details that makes the real faces easier to be distinctive, although they are still pretty clearly different faces with a different combination of bone structure, nose shape, hairstyles, hair and eye colors, etc... The only thing I'd say very similar are the eyeliner makeup texture which doesn't vary alot from one character to another but that's about it.

I wasn't concrete towards this or any other currently active project. There are plenty of abandoned titles (help yourself with the f95 search engine) with years of "paper development" and little to no content while begging to support them. It clearly screams scam to me over "I'm passionate to work on this [insert concept] project, because I believe it's an experience other players would enjoy too" intention. If they have a short term idea poorly planned in the stacks of a roadmap, then there is clearly an indication they don't care about the game other than to receive some revenue. Indie games regardless of genre and market are pretty much hobbies, you enter with passion to build something amazing, not with the primary intention of making money. If that's the mandatory objective then the project will face a development inferno, eventually.
While you are correct about the dozens of abandoned projects we all see everyday, trying to treat every new project the same way and misinform others in the thread as if that project will get abandoned too is contributing to why devs can't get the support they need to continue their projects. Which is why those troll posts and reviews get rightfully removed.
If you have concerns, the right thing to do is to wait for their deadlines without necessarily making positive or negative judgements and see if the devs consistently live up to their premise.

sorry if it has already been asked, are you guys planning to make this game on mac too?
Yep. We are prioritizing sorting out the issues with mac and linux builds at the moment.

It looks amazing, but ... Is it a porn game? Any spicy image? I can't see anything... I lost something?

"A lot of anime and cartoons do this, so it's ok if we do it too"
This guy... not only are you paraphrasing, putting words into other people's mouths (Implied by quotes), but clearly missed the point. For example if the most read piece of literature, barring the BIBLE, a Manga called ONE PIECE by Eiichiro Oda, can get away with the 6faces trope (Pre Amazon Lily arc, and, well, pretty much post) as far as his attractive characters, then any critique about it towards indie/amateur artists really falls flat. Let me fix that preemptively: any Negative Feedback without a modicum of constructiveness to it, falls flat; when millions if not Billions let Oda get away with it without batting an eyelash.

I was just trying to expand peoples perspectives, offer up enlightening lil factoids (whether you find it interesting or funny) in case you/they didn't realize the industry does it all the time. Even outside of Anime: AAA game titles like FARCRY use literal clone models for NPCs, often found yards from each other. The broader your horizons, the less (overly) critical and pessimistic people tend to be, food for thought.

But one thing I'll never understand is why devs use Unity, and then try to code features like rollback to make it more like Renpy, instead of just using Renpy in the first place. From the dev notes, this doesn't appear to have anything that Renpy couldn't handle.

If the devs want to make this game good in Unity, I'd look at Faerin's games and Timestamps on how to do sandbox games in Unity, they seem to have a lot of what this game wants to have, especially Man of the House. Also, Timestamps has rollback, you can consult it for that feature.
I can think of two reasons:
  • They already know Unity, so the idea of using something you're familiar with so you can start making your game that much faster is more attractive than having to learn a new engine with its own abstractions and such, and then make the game w/ it.

  • Even if they don't know how to use Unity, they want to use it to become proficient in it as it's more valuable in the long term: Unity is a generic game engine, it can be used for all game genres (and there's a lot of Unity-related gamedev jobs out there), while Ren'py is limited to VNs. So in terms of making the best of your time --creating that adult game while adding a "Proficient in Unity" skill to your resume-- Unity beats R'py.
The problem is, as you've mentioned, that some don't really take the time to make a proper visual-novel UX/UI.
Ren'py, with its rollback/undo action, the saving system with thumbnails etc. is the top reference in this.

The height is telling the different. At MC height, he look like a kid. MC is what 4 ft tall? I think the height need to be adjust little bit.
