This game deserves more credit than it gets imo
It's a great game
It's a shame the dev doesn't come here
I always like talking to the devs of the games I like on here

Anyway this game was one of the earliest games I played on here
When I started playing the games late last year
So It's always going to have a special place in my heart

Yeah, I especially loved the sequence where you are on the boat, eliminating people. Fun one and unique idea.

College Kings is my first Ren'Py game.
but unfortunately, he hasn't kept a single time commitment since 2022.
The same is true for this one.
Episode 4 will be released in two parts, part 1 and part 2, and he said he'd release part 2 by the end of the year, but is that really possible?
Rather, he said that the rebuilding of Episode 2 is not yet complete and the release could be delayed.
I don't know if I'll be able to release even Ep4 part 1, let alone Ep4 part 2, by the end of the year.

That's a shame then
All the devs I talk too are really nice
I have never understood why people have to be so mean to devs that they push them away from the site

I believe a lot of people were constantly at him for this being a BaD clone (Which it really isn't) and the game was not in a great shape prior the extensive updates and reworks. I tell ya, Joshy... This place has quite a few religious zealot maniacs who don't like AVNs set in a similar setting to their favourite. They get extremely territorial.

Uf they got professional voice actors, maybe. Most tend to use AI voices and they are quite bad. I usually turn off the vocie acting in some AVNs makes it far more pleasurable experience.

Hello!

I just started playing this game the other day, but I'm really enjoying it so far. But for some reason I'm not able to Save my progress. I keep running into this error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Can anyone help me out? I keep having to hope that an Automatic Save was made recently every time I stop playing for a minute!

Edit: After several hours of additional gameplay, I now realize that not only has the Auto Save feature also broken, it took all the previous auto saves with it. I'm boned.

Already said that, but, again, this game is so great! I love this university setting, and the story of C.Kings keep the drama and the action lines of choices very well balanced. I'll stay tunned for the next update. Keep the good work, dev!

erm which mods are you running?

I would try deleting both 'persistent' save files then re-launching game and loading a save.
