The problem with harem games is that there's never another male character worth a shit. It is literally impossible for Sarah to have 0 male friends to help her here, or be unable to tell her father or literally 8 siblings that she's being stalked

She actively dislikes almost all of her family. So there's the reason she doesn't go to them.

And as far as male friends go, I usually find male friends in these games downright annoying. It's one of the worst parts of most of the college games here.

Plus I don't play harem games for realism, obviously.

If you're looking for male competition for the love interests the NTR tag exists.

You have hit the nail on the head for me. I love this VN because of the characters and the relationships, honestly I could take or leave the sexual stuff. Not that the sexual stuff is bad by any means, just that I dont read VNs to wax the carrot, I read them for the story and characters. So when a character whose early interactions are all lewd in nature shows up I just don't really connect to her and end up kinda just clicking through her lines to get back to the Lucy stuff sooner.
That being said, the character moments with Misaki have really knocked it out of the park in recent updates, on replays I dont skip them.

exactly, the train stuff doesn't give me much, so rereading it is, let's say, a choice. Her new scenes in the school are fire tho.

Every time I hear music from this game used in other games I get a little upset that they're stealing from Cosy even though I know they're all just pulling from the same free use music library.

early Misaki train theme was giving me really weird vibes because I used to know this song from the other project

Hey guys, it's dev log time again!

I want to start by saying welcome to all of the new supporters that have joined since the release of version 0.12 a couple of weeks ago - the reception for this one has been really positive, so thank you all! I make these dev logs every couple of weeks, so if you stick around between updates you'll get used to hearing from me!

Now, onto the dev log:

It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, as usual. Of course, work on version 0.13 is already underway - I'm currently finishing up the first phase of writing, which is the detailed scene planning stage. There's a hell of a lot to fit into the next couple of in-game days (the goth weekend), and fitting it all in has been a bit like doing a jigsaw.

So, I can't remember if I mentioned this in a previous dev log or not, but I had previously planned on doing the weekend in a single two day update, but now I'm weighing up the possibility of splitting it into two single day updates. Ultimately I'll make the final decision when I've got it all written out in full and I can see the final length, but if it ends up way too long I might not have a choice if I want to keep up a regular release cycle.

Other than that, I'm also currently working on a version 0.12.1 that will be ready for the public release of version 0.12 in a couple of weeks. At the moment it contains a few hundred minor grammar improvements across the last three or four updates, but I'm also hoping to fix a few bugs as well.

The main one may be something that some of you have noticed: For some reason video playback on animated scenes has been a bit slow in 0.12 (no idea why, nothing should have changed in that respect) and you can sometimes see white/transparent screens flashing up before each video plays. I've already got a semi-fix in place that improves the problem, but I have another one in the works (credit to moderateUtopia on discord for putting me on to it) that is a bit more time consuming to implement but may eliminate it completely.

Beyond that initial work on 0.13 and 0.12.1, I've also been setting up a new PC! Those of you who have been around since the beginning will remember me using a big chunk of my early patreon money to build the one I'm using currently, and it's served me well for the last couple of years, but it does rather hit its limit with some of the larger scenes (the Founding council and the back yard of the cafe were particularly painful to work with).

So I'm currently setting up my new one using all-new graphical mods - it's taking a bit of time to get it all working, but I'm hopeful it should allow me to make some visual improvements! And, of course, I'm going to be careful to make sure it stays in-keeping with the current style of the game. Once I've got it up and running I'm gonna see what I can do, and maybe post some comparisons for you in the next dev log if there are noticeable improvements.

So, as I said earlier, I'm currently working through the writing process for 0.13 - hopefully that should also be finished by the time of the next dev log, at which point I'll be able to give you a few more details - but for now, I'll leave you with a custom image set of Lucy I made for fun on discord recently, I thought it turned out really cute!

And that about does it for this one - if you have any comments, feel free to leave them here or on discord!

And as always, thank you all for your support, I truly appreciate it!

I've had posts get deleted by mods - not in this thread, but it happens.

I view it as a prompt to review the rules the mods are told to follow when assessing commentary on the threads they are responsible for.

If you spend any real time on F95 providing commentary and engaging in discussion, I think it is a given that some comments will get deleted for whatever reason.

After a rules review, I simply continue on, trying to be mindful of the boundaries we have all been asked to respect as I add to discussions and provide my own take on a given AVN.

Cheers!!

I really love this game, which is why I created a Simplified Chinese version for Android.
Since I have limited free time, the translation quality isn't perfect, but it's still better than machine/AI translations.
Currently, the known issue is that the BIOS screen is inaccessible on the Android version, though all features work fine on the PC version – I'm not sure what's causing this. Additionally, many Simplified Chinese players deeply enjoy this game.
For various reasons, they can't financially support the creator, but they still hold a deep affection for it.
