Okay I am ridiculously late to this. I have been playing this over the last two weeks or so and now have a save for every major girl and even a select few of the other girls. This is easily the best AVN I have played in the last 5 years. I wasn't so excited about an AVN since the days of "True Love" on the 486dx2 in ye olden days.

Also Riona all the way :)
It's a pity for you man, if you had discovered the game a few more years in the future, you would probably be playing the full version. Welcome to annual waiting. :KEK:

Josy and Maya are a package deal. In order to get that romance, be either Chick or Neutral affinity and in the trashed library propose to both of them. However, there are the seeds of a potential solo and or separate romance with either. If you reject them both Josy will not give you up. Spend time with her every chance you are afforded and assure you that you have feelings for her. Choose others instead of the other romances, or choose on of the others and cheat on them when given the opportunity. In the meantime Josy will be with Maya, but in the latest update she will tell you that she still wants you. This may lead to things in the future. On the Maya front, something very interesting happens when you choose both Josy/Maya and dump them for Sage. Maya floats a softball that she would like to be with you and Sage. Poor Josy.
Sounds like fun. I'm gonna do it one of these days.

How come this game is getting lower and lower in rank here?
IMO the story is stagnating. But worse, the newer mini-games ruined it for me.
Actually used to enjoy the challenge of class tests and brawler. Now too much focus is placed on them, being both poorly designed and implemented. While narratively it's lost all focus, just loaded with filler.

Brawler UI change made it more difficult to read. Simply no way for me to react fast enough.
Timer for Eng test now so short, can barely type words in fast enough even with cheat mod on.
New party planning, math and science games bring experience to a screeching halt.
And fish game barely more interactive than a cookie clicker.

I read these for the story. And adult scenes I typically skip through. But I find development has gone off the rails with little to keep my interest any further.

Acting Lessons will always be a treasure, but BaD is going in the recycle bin.

Damn and a lot of ppl give Josy flack for being a cheater when Maya is just as bad. Only difference is that she is covert with her approaches.

Why do you have minigames not off, when they suck for you? Also: I find it interesting that you say the story stagnates while others say this episode did a huge step forward. Crazy how perceptions can differ.

There is no mini-game toggle. Would require a complete restart to disable, currently serving as a barrier to progression. And my time is far too valuable. To innovate is one thing, but I find all the changes just broken. And no longer the product I paid for as a patron. At any rate, washing my hands of it.

Getting rid of the minigames is worth this sacrifice

They have gotten jealous in ep 9 and Maya says Josy was jealous in ep 5 if pick her to fuck, either way Josy and Maya relationship is doom
Lol you talking of sex scenes, Maya gets jealous even in non throuple route, like when you go with Josy when she is meeting Pete or when you take Josy's side during Patrick's visit. This relationship is bounded for failure.

Josy actually says truth that she was cheating, Maya not only cheats but lies too.

I love the brawler game and fish is good idea for income. Math is a meh, English has been horrible from day one. Science, planner, triple tiles, puzzle are a chore for a perfectionist like me. What you are saying is on point, except the story, which was quite ok in the update.

Good formulated, barrier for progression. I currently am 3/4 through a Jill part after having done all DIK and MJ routes and Bella is not done yet, but my time is way too precious to do those shitty mini games. Even more precious to restart the whole damn thing with mini games off. I feel you bro.

Josy and Maya both cheated and lied.

Maya said to the MC so that she has a boyfriend and cheated on Josy with the MC. Josy also cheated on Maya with the MC and she said so that she is in a relationship. But what she didn't say is so that it's a girl relationship and the MC therefore assumed that Josy has a boyfriend.

Not saying something important is also a lie because it influences a person's decision. What would the players have decided if they had known from the start that Josy was in a girl relationship?

Also, Josy and Maya didn't lie as if the player was paying attention.

I waited for a good decade for an official translation for Little busters. I waited for nearly half a decade until I could play the English release of the Trails in the Sky games, I am used to waiting but the cliffhanger in EP 10 is having me on my toes because of a certain fiery situation I am aware of in DPC's previous work, I am gosh darn worried about my girl there.

There relationship already failed it only a matter of time before the final nail is in the coffin

Writing and coding
I focused on writing this week and wrote plenty of canon content. Regarding branches, I worked mostly on Sage and Others' branches, but I also did some Bella and Jill work.

I wanted to write code - not just dialogue - this week, too, so I've been working on all free-roam events. This work includes creating the code to transport the player between scenes, all buttons and triggers for interactions, and the event flow.

I've also written some events (scenes with dialogue) for the free roam events, but most of this work remains as I focus on the fundamental code first. I have some work to finish up in this area before I continue writing dialogue. I'm leaving phone content (Chats, Calls, Rooster, Galleries, etc.) for later.

I have also created GUI elements for a feature I've planned for this episode. It's been implemented in the code and tested in-game. It's not a big feature, but it's a choice-based interface of something that I know most will find interesting.

Art
Regarding art, I'm in the middle of working on another lewd scene. I'm working on it chronologically, meaning I have posed both static renders and animations this week.

Next week, I plan to continue working on lewd scenes in general and pose animations to beef up the render queue. I will also write more intermittently to keep the steam going while I'm feeling highly motivated to write.

Polls
The currently live special render poll ends next Friday. The winner gets a dedicated special render set in episode 11. If you haven't voted yet, you can do so .

Previews
I'll post the second preview of episode 11 this weekend.

Have a nice weekend
