Well, in the end it's up to everyone's preferences. I know I can't make it perfect for everyone. But like I said, I am still keeping the exact long-term relationship development open at this point, and I am also taking your reviews into account when deciding on the next part of the character's arc, so everything could end up being completely different. But that is still a long way in the future because I am taking a slow arc development route for now as I don't want things to feel rushed and unnatural. But there will definitely be multiple romantic relationships between the MC and LIs in the future.

I hope you'll give the game a chance at some point, but even if you don't, thank you for your interest.
I actually prefer to try the game when I know if it might interest me.

Hey, I was playing through today and found a minor inconsistency. I'm going to spoiler tag it because it talks about an event that happens, even though another poster has already mentioned it:

Thank you for notifying me. I thought I have check that problem thoroughly, but it's certainly possible that something is still wrong in the script. My playthrough is a bit different from yours because I test the events in order in which I develop them and that might lead into me overlooking something. I rewrote the code a bit and it should finally be okay now. I won't be releasing hotfix for it since it's a relatively minor issue, but it will be hopefully finally be fixed in the 0.4.

I can't seem to be able to trigger the events below.

Demi: It's not all peaches and cream
Mina: Tail
Tia: Change of Plans

Oh and the last Main Event has not triggered yet either.

You're not gonna tell me that this guy just got done monologuing like some grizzled crime-noir action hero about his dead best friend and failed relationship. This man looks like he struggles to make ice. He looks like he needs a reminder to breathe because he can't do it unassisted.

Why is Koikatsu the choice for the visuals of the same story every time? "MC with tortured past suddenly gets a position of power at the only school in koikatsu. You pick your character to interact with for one time slot then repeat until a story scene happens"

It's just what it is, my friend. Sadly, the options story-setting in KK are fairly limited, as you probably know.

Hello. The event should trigger for you automatically at night if you've completed Zoe's and Genesis' latest events.

This is a wonderful story. Definitely has me worried about how badly things are going to blow up.

There's a mistake when you try to go to the Roof that sometimes results in you just skipping straight to evening:

But pretty please make it possible to not do the sandbox. Just flatten event_decider into a single canonical order. Or at least make that an option... It just makes me go through each time slot saying "is this a new event? no? rollback, try the next option" and doesn't add anything.

Thanks for your comment and for pointing this out, I will fix it for the next update.
The thing about the cannonical order is that some events in each update can be played in any order you choose, rather than in a fixed order. But I will add an option for you in the next update where you can immediately jump to events you have unlocked by fulfilling the conditions without searching for them.

Hello everyone. Since the time of peace, serenity and joy has arrived, the girls are also celebrating and even the crew is taking a break from investigating and going with the Christmas spirit for a few days (although some are far more enthusiastic about it than the others). I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and much happiness and joy in the coming year. I hope all your wishes will come true. Thanks for sticking around. :)

There is a big announcement this time, so please pay attention.

It's not easy for me to write. Recently, there have been a couple of big changes that have greatly affected my time management. First of all, I decided to make my translation job a secondary source of income due to its instability, and I started a regular job about a month ago, which of course now takes up most of my time, but I am still juggling two jobs at the moment. Secondly, I am (finally) in a new relationship and you know what that means.

All in all, these two changes have greatly affected the amount of time I am able to devote to game development. Due to starting the new job, I'm sad to say that I haven't been able to touch the game at all since the last devlog before Christmas, and while this may change over time as I learn to manage my time better, it will still be severely limited. So, while it's very sad for me to say this, because I enjoy this project, your reviews and all that goes with it, I'm considering the option of discontinuing development, keeping the game either as my own personal project or update it very irregularly.

This announcement does NOT mean that the game has been cancelled. No such decision has been made at this time, but I have to consider all my options now. One thing is for sure, I will not be able to maintain the current pace of development under any circumstances. I would especially like to ask my patrons to cancel their Patreon memberships until I make my decision, or at least strongly reconsider supporting the game for the time being, as I don't want to use your support without being able to keep my word.

The decision will be made very soon. I will now try to put some of my time back into development and see the result. Please be patient.
