New addition of me playing around with overlays - sorry not sorry :ROFLMAO:
Was actually looking forward to seeing more of those tests -- it would make sense since the whole purpose of the meetings is remedial lessons (though i can understand not everyone may enjoy them). Hina geeking out over the various types of pencil was funny too. Are grades planned to be a thing or will they remain on the setting's background?

One suggestion i would have is when you pick a club to visit in the afternoon at school, that there should be icons indicating which students are present in each of the clubs (and cafetaria) if you need Affection with specific girls.

Yeaah I did shy away from some of the interactive quiz/game like stuff since Kasu's E1 didn't get the best reception - though that's likely because I ended up coding in the wrong answer on one of the questions o_O grades are gonna be more of a background element than a main story beat though.

The Clubs suggestion is great! Will try and implement something that makes it clearer :)

Small criticism or idea, whichever. I've noticed there is a lot of inner monologue's referring to X character glaring, looking away etc. Sometimes these feel awkward or unneeded being that we can see X characters reaction to things without it being told to us. Also, in these scenes, when X character is looking at something or someone, often times what they should be looking at, they aren't.

Here, Saori never actually looks at MC until Ami leaves but in the monologue, it says she glances at you. Which would make since being that you agree to help someone she hates.

Here Sakura actually does look away as pointed out (Sakura is hot AF)

Lastly, Kasu's eyes never actually narrow as stated here screenshot0184.png


There's other places to but these are the ones I actually screenshotted. Changing room scene with Sakura (did I mention how hot she is), I feel her pupils should lower some when it says she glanced down. Nothing game breaking, just something that I noticed.

You raise a good point there. In my writing process, I tend to write first, then render after. This can occasionally lead to a bit too much visual description, and it's something I'm trying to reduce the use of.

As for some renders not exactly aligning - call that me early in development rushing all my renders to work to deadlines o_O

it was getting interesting until it got to the point where I HAD to choose where to go. I would've enjoyed it better if the game chose where to go.

There's not that option unfortunately. There's only the option to change the MC or another chara later on in the story :(

Ahhh - this is a sandbox VN, not a linear VN. There are still parts of the story where events will happen consecutively but a lot of them are jumping from area to area.

A suggestion. I prefer linear VN myself. I love Dissonance. It is a sandbox VN but the author added a linear VN mode. I use this mode myself and enjoy it. Choices are always nice. It doesn't really change the story. Just allows you to go through the scenes without having to do the whole aimless wandering sandbox. Love your novel.
Thank you

I'll consider it - seems like a good way to appeal to both preferences :)

is there anyway to continue the new character storyline? or to continue the other girl's storyline? im kind of stuck
event_tutorial.png If you seem to be stuck, make sure to check the character's events screens to see what you might be missing!By entering the menu and going to 'Characters', you'll have a list of all the main characters, and a small section showing how many events for which characters you may be missing (1).

By clicking on one of the characters in this menu, you'll get to their profile (2). By clicking on the image under the heading 'Events, you'll be able to access a list of all available events for that character (3) - some will be unlocked if you've viewed them, some will be locked and require progress to unlock. By reading the 'HINT:' in the bottom right-hand corner, it'll give you some idea for how to profgress in-game and unlock that event.

By repeating this for all main characters, main events, and by exploring through trial-and-error, you'll make your way through!

Hope this helps :)

Love the game, and all the characters in it.

I can't seem to get the Threesome event to start. It says wait until day 50 and visit the bar, but I must have missed it on day 50 exactly. I am on day 74, and have been spamming the bar for about a week+ now and just get the generic event. Is there any other way to force it to start?

Nvm, I'm dumb and mixed up afternoon and evening.
