I first started this game when it first came out, but then backed off when "week 1" was taking a stupidly long time. It was everything already released in one file, bit more compressed, with few minor updates. was no reason it should have taken like 6-8 months or whatever it was. I remember the idea of the game originally being it was supposed to take 1 year in game, but the size of updates for 1 day made it clear this could never be the case. blue cat was overzealous with that plan to start with and should have just planned a full game around a shorter scale. For instance a couple events a day, then a few days skipped in between. Not have about 8 different full story events taking place in a single day at a time.

Only the beginning was planed that way for about the first 2 months then it was going to be several days to a couple of weeks between scenes.
The major problem was the coding that broke everything and for some reason or another no one can get it fixed.

Using Ren'PY can allow saves to be used from 1 part to another and have been done that way in several games on here.
There was never a need to have everything in 1 download but that was how BC wanted it.

This game can still be salvage if done in a better way on coding and splinting it apart into chapters.

Maybe Bluecat will do what Glacerose, the developer of Sylphine, did to his game. Remake it. Release 1 update. Then remake the remake. Release 1 update. Then remake the remake of a remake. Release 1 update. Then remake the remake of the remaked remake. Release 1 update. Decide to remake it in Daz. Never release anything. Spend 2 years milking.


Try saying all those remakes 5 times fast.
i completely forgot about sylphine. checked it out after seeing your comment. maybe this is just my bad memory but didnt it look better before? i can tell from whatever remake version the screenshots are from that its some newer engine but i feel like the characters still just looked better before

The characters were perfect, in my opinion, when he remade it in daz. When he decided to remake it for the 4th time he changed the characters and ruined them, once again my opinion.

In those 6-8 months for the Week 1 merge and now over 2 years now one could have redone the whole game several times. There is no excuse why they can't fix the problems. They even left out features to deliver faster without any change.

It's not about can, it could have been salvaged from the beginning, but they're clearly not working on it.

Imagine if BC just focused on the main chars, forget the rest, save the game by giving Matsu and his main students a field trip to German museum or whatever it is related to an airplane travel, then airplane malfunctioned, stranded on a desert island with his main students and family.
A great harem ending indeed.

Think I'll get banned?

Guess Bluecats new years resolution was to be nicer and not ban people just because they called him a poopyhead. He responded with this.


I honestly don't give a fuck anymore. If you guys have any questions for Bluecat I'll ask them for you. Doubt you get an answer or I stay unbanned, but we'll see.

My dude opened a text file without changing anything and showed it off like he was doing something lmfao.

I really wonder what his goal there was. As mentioned, there's no change in that file. just opening a random file without changes is not good enough to make it seem like you are working.
When refactoring code I have changes in the hundreds to thousands per commit stretched over multiple files.
If he'd show a git history with lots of changes for the past few weeks, then I might believe they are actually working on something.

You seem more knowledgeable than me (which isn't hard when I have the I.Q. of a houseplant) so maybe you should go to the Discord and ask him to show the git history seeing how he seems to be more active with people instead of banning them.

Well I can confirm that code is actually a little different than the week 1 merge, and that change is that they found a way to do patch-only stuff on the same line as an option. Probably save them like a hundred or so lines over the course of the whole project? so it seems kinda pointless, like the previous system worked fine and I can't imagine why they would need to change it. Perhaps he could expand on exactly why it needed that change or is just change for change's sake under a new leader?

I'm more concerned he would open day 4 to show off.. like.. that's not really inspiring. As someone that has looked through some of their days script recently there is A LOT of text to go through which would be mind-numbingly boring and drive you insane.

How do I know? Cause my boredem led to trying (and failing, restarting, and succeeding) this game stuff into UE5 using a premade visual novel framework. There really isn't that many good options for this I found out lol, maybe this paid one would be good but screw that for messing around. Fumbled my way through it, modified to suit how I needed it to be which then led me onto the script...

Yeah, there was no way I was gonna go line by line for that, ended up writing up a script to convert it to what I would need it to be like to save myself as much manual work as possible. I'd say my biggest 'hurdle' would now be making the phone, card system, further modifications to this framework thing, etc. Put it on pause for the time being, maybe I'll come back and finish it at some point who knows but for the time being I've lost interest.

Bluecat should just do his job, or rather, should've already done his job. Also if he does, I really hope he changes his games UI cause I've never hated it more than I do now after looking at it properly.

Yes there are separate dark mind patches for week 1 and week 2, just select show previous versions option present under the day 22+23 dark patch Mega link.

The dark mind patches have odd names for the weeks.

Week 1 is week 1 Final
Week 2 is day 8-14 Final
Week 3 is day day 20-21 Final

Just in case you needed help with those 3 weeks. Thank you for calling the Customer Support Hotline. Have a nice day.
