Congrats, you found an old post. The dev reversed his decision to fully remove her within two hours of that post. Over the last 15 months he has referred to Charlotte and his plans for her in more than two dozen messages.

Not sure why people do this on the internet when search engines exist? I get that the discord post from Cozy was in August of 2024 but yes Cosy did say he was cutting Charlotte:



Like I said, it was an old post but it was a post that was posted by Cozy. Cozy is able to change their mind and like I said in my first post, there was a poll to keep both.

Thanks for the hard leg work detective. I'll use that same search engine to find a place to go and get a medal to send it to you.

Cosy hasn't committed to Charlotte's role whatsoever. All he's said is that she's going to appear at some point. Depending on his writing and the public's reception of her she might end up a recurring character or she'll be done once her story's over
Here's the last two things he's said about her.

  At this point, I'd warn against anyone drawing any conclusions about what Elizabeth and Annabelle's final positions/relationships with the MC will be. They're both going to be very important characters, and they will both have plenty of content - that's about all I've given away about them. I'll also add that what happens with them will all make sense when the story is revealed. Charlotte is the only one that's somewhat up in the air and may not end up with a significant long-term role.

  Though I will say that I'm 50/50 on Charlotte - I might not make her a recurring character if it feels like there are too many

Personally, and this is a completely out of character opinion from me, I hope that she isn't recurring. I just really like Elizabeth and Annabelle. Since they're likely going to have less content than the main 10 I feel like adding a third in just means even less content for Elizabeth and Annabelle. It sounds like one of his biggest concerns is cast size so I think there's a good chance she'll just be there for her storyline.
Plus as much as I'm a sucker for the childhood friend trope, the childhood friend who I don't think has been so much as mentioned or thought of in almost 3 years of development just doesn't have that same emotional ring.

Agreed. I love Annie in Eternum, and Lucy in Between Humanity (though not so much Darci in Ripples for some reason), and the "childhood friend" thing is a big part of it (though the fact that they both have obvious crushes on the respective MCs certainly helps). But they're there at the beginning, and we see that relationship (and the relationship they want) right up front.

I guess the counterpoint would be that, though we're close to 3 years of development, it's only about a month in game time (MC works fast). That helps a bit, but still--childhood friend who's had a longstanding crush on MC shows up and finds out he has four live-in girlfriends. Even if she doesn't find out about the others he's messing around with, how do you think she reacts?

I broadly agree, though she did get a tiny, non-specific mention in 0.2:

So is next update the last update before the time skip?

Nope, I'm expecting 2 more before the time skip, then for the time skip update itself I'll probably make it quite a long one with the skip in the middle so that it's not coming out of nowhere at the start of an update or leaving on a weird cliffhanger at the end.

Just played through all this in a few days. When the game launched and the timer read Year 1 and Sept 1 I figured there would be more than 30 days worth of content, but the quality is great.

Cant wait to see more!

Now hold on here one doggone minute... When (and moreover, why) did Cosy alter the scene in Sarah's room (the one immediately after the party) to add those anime posters?

Spoiler: It should be pretty obvious which ones I mean.

The reason I am so sure that they were added "later on" is that they are not present in the image immediately after the one above.

Real weird change, anyway.

They've been there since the start. And so have the renders with them missing
