Let me start by saying - Thank god someone wrote a realistic college plot! Hook ups, relationship drama, misunderstandings, not every girl fawning over one guy like he's the incarnation of Adonis. It's actually *not* predictable for a change. That being said, I don't even look at Adam as the MC who's supposed to represent the player, but as one of the main characters in a TV show. Especially since we have a dedicated Morgan chapter.
I don't know where you're planning to go with the story, nor do I dare twist your established idea, but I do hope you'll keep this vibe rather than swerving into the typical "let's all degrade the MC" route that everyone else does. Giving him a unique win with Luna was a great counter-balance. Though an earlier scene of hinting/build-up would've helped sell it better, I know that time and resources are a factor.
Speaking of resources... Patreon... It's not really Patreon that's cracking down, but the payment processors who went on a censorship spree this year. Combine that with internet whiners who have nothing better to do than raise alarms to ruin someone else's dreams and you get reports that they can't ignore. Personally, I've been looking into as many alternatives as possible, because you never know when someone might target another platform. Just make sure to have a neutral ground where you can reach the bulk of your fans in case something happens.
P. S. I'm glad you didn't take the overly-contrived landlord-lady route. Honestly, I think you could just lean into the absurdity of your solution if you wanted since everyone knows what's really going on from the first 10 sentences.

I love the Morgan character. Love the combination of sweetness and toughness, vulnerability and edginess. And she's gorgeous! This VN is a home run! Thanks Lord Percy!

Am I the only person who is having a problem with the Save/Load screens. I can save just fine, but if I try to move to another page, the program thinks I'm trying to do another save, and won't move off the current page no matter what I try.
I originally downloaded using the MEGA download for Win/Linux. I just tried the one for Pixeldrain. Same result.
I have modified nothing, just downloaded, unzipped (using the latest version of 7-zip) and executed. I'll try using Pea Zip and see if that helps.
By the way, I delete everything but the downloaded file (from both areas where saves are maintained) after each try. Each download is kept in a separate directory.

Yeap, something is wrong there. Loading a brand new save after this update gives a rollback error.
If you move the mouse too far up on the page number, you're actually highlighting the save slot above it. Something definitely off with the styling there.

For me, this game is unplayable in its current form, which is a shame since I really was looking forward to trying it.
Maybe next release.
I've seen this happen in a couple games recently, it's like people are passing around some bad template with the yalign/ypos defaults changed for main menu style.

I actually tried swapping out the screens.rpy file and regenerating a new screens.rpyc file from another game I had played 10 days ago (with no problems). Damned if it still didn't mess up. *sigh*

The issue might persist if the dev doesn't understand screen language (or could contact me and I'll help fix it). For now, if you want to change the page, just move the cursor lower until the thing you want to click is highlighted. The click area is just off center for some reason.

I was finally able to replicate the save/load issue, and it isn't in the screens.rpy, it's in the gui.rpy. I never used a template, only ever modified the default that RenPy creates when you start a new project and I never altered the Save/Load screens. But I was able to fix it by reducing the button height slightly. Very weird that it did that.
Anyway, I was also able to finally replicate the errors when introducing the Art and Math Professors. I slapped together a little renamer as they are introduced that I should have done from the beginning. It should be fixed now. I'll upload a fixed 0.3.1 version and a patch for the 0.3 version.
Thanks for letting me know about the issues! Hope this fixes them all, but let me know if I just made it worse. lol!

That does seem to fix it for me. Unfortunately, wasn't able to recover my new save from this update, but was able to find an Auto-Save from that playthrough and load from there and make a new one. Not sure what was going on there.

Nice! RenPy has some weird connections between it's screen elements. It's very easy for a change to one thing to affect something else entirely. I remember a lot of ridiculous back and forth while trying to format a menu inside the the dialogue box. Glad you were able to fix it!

I'm playing this for the first time and I gotta say, i like and hate how realistic the teen drama stuff is. Im a grown ass adult now so i can't stand thinking back to when this was my life.
The other thing is I low key hope that the obliviousness of the MC Adam can eventually be revealed as not so much him being oblivious but more because he sees how goddamn messy all his friends relationships are and that he actually just wants zero part in all that.
I know for me i would have distanced myself romantically with all of them long ago but that's just me.
I still think this is a pretty good game and my comments above aren't gripes with the game.
