I always played completed or very near completed VNs until I found this one a year or two ago. Now, I have four games, all HS/HS2 that I'm waiting to see finished, and I know all of them will take several more years yet. I don't know if my patience and my life will allow that kind of wait.
At least this one updates pretty regularly. Not so much so as ILS' AVNs (which release every month like clockwork), but much more so than things like Eternum or Ripples.
I've always had the bad luck of seeing something interesting, reading through it in a week, realise it needs an update and then waiting months for an update to come, and then I forget about a few of them and find them years later and they're updates further so I can play them all over again
I actually have a spreadsheet of the "in work" games I play.I've always had the bad luck of seeing something interesting, reading through it in a week, realise it needs an update and then waiting months for an update to come, and then I forget about a few of them and find them years later and they're updates further so I can play them all over again
Currently have like 9 waiting for updates, but on the positive side I've got so many more I'm either currently reading or am planning to read so at least I'll have a lot to waste away my time when I'm not at work or playing other games.
Tell me, how many decades has it been since you were a teenager? Five, at least? Just about everything you are describing is pretty typical teenager behaviour. And it's also obvious you have not gotten far at all into the story, since the MC himself tells both Lucy and Victoria barely a week in about how violent he was in the past, constantly picking fights for no other reason than to just fight.
This is content from the first update it looks like.So on a completely unrelated note, I kind of feel like there needs to be a bit "more" in this one part of the game...

...It all just feels a bit odd, kind of "rushed" I suppose? I just feel like there needs to be a bit smoother of a transition between the two scenes.

Yeah, there's a hell of a lot I would change about the early content, especially the stuff from 0.1 like that. I feel like if I redid 0.1 then it would go from 40k words and 1700 renders to 70k words and 6000 renders just covering the exact same stuff only better and in more depth. But, ultimately, after discussing it a lot with players over the last year or two I decided it's best to just leave it as is - a relic from before I'd really got the hang of it.So on a completely unrelated note, I kind of feel like there needs to be a bit "more" in this one part of the game...

I'm glad you didn't go down that route. It's fine as it is. Sure it could be better? But look at all the games that go into this rework cycle. It's rarely worth it. My view is to work on finishing your project first, and afterwards if you want to make improvements to the early stuff, no one will complain.
yeah if he wanted to,he could even leave a option in the main menu,or choice at the start to play the original/legacy 0.1
If in-game pacing is a big concern for you, you might find yourself pretty frustrated with some parts of this game. I love the hell out of it, but yeah there's a few things that just move way too fast. That said, I don't entirely think the relationship with Lucy is one of them; yes, it does feel a bit rushed on the first go-round, but once you e played a bit deeper it will make sense.
It always amazes me just how boring some people's childhoods were. Like if you've never ended up in an 8 on 10 brawl because you ripped some dude's little brother off when he wanted you to boot smokes or liquor then have you really lived?
