Nope. And that would be Emi and the mc's mother. The Aunt from his other game.

I still haven't been able to find any other port of Emi - New Beginning for android. KOGA3 port keeps crashing after multiple attempts KoGa3 LukeRY
Sad to hear that. Without further infos it's a bit hard to help here. But maybe you can try to add the general "GL-ON" fix which sometimes fixes hardware incompatibilities:

Download , extract it and move the extracted "GL2_on.rpy" to the following folder on your device: "...\Documents\RenPy_Saves\com.koga3.emi\game\". Hope it solves your port issue.

Thanks for trying to help! Unfortunately since I can't get past the first screen I can't authorize permission for the app to make a folder on my device.

Do you know what his most recent post on patreon is about? Nov 26th Never Again! It's Over! I'm Done!
Yeah it was:

I know what you're thinking... Where the fuck has this guy been, and what the fuck is he moaning about now? Well, allow me to elaborate.

First of all, I wish to apologise. I've done and said a lot of things over the years, and most of the time I either forget or just don't do what I'm going to do, and although most can be excused, not all can... Why do I feel like I'm writing some big apology post for something I didn't actually do?... "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"

I feel like I started off wrong for what this post is actually supposed to be about, so allow me to restart...

Hey guys,
I wanted to jump on and quickly announce a couple of things. As you guys know, I've been working on a sequel to Emi called Emi: Long Road Home, and it's due to be released soon (first half of December).

That being said, that's not why I'm here. I'm not here to tell you that Emi is almost done and it's coming soon. I'm here to tell you that Emi is almost done and it'll be coming soon, but... it'll also be the last game I work on.

...

That being said... remember above when I said how over the years I've said some things, and most of the time they don't end up happening, so I feel like a liar? Well, Emi being the last game I work on is also a lie, but not really a lie. I should say it's the newest game that'll be the last game I work on...

Are you confused yet? Good, me too. What I'm trying to say while rambling away is that working on Long Road Home has shown me how much I really don't like working on smaller games anymore. Sure, they're good for a quick fap, but it's really hard to fit a decent story with developing characters into such a tiny play time.

Which is why, as I forgo mentioned, Emi will be the last ( new ) game I work on. I will of course still be working on The Cabin, and when I have free time, I'll still be working on and finishing Nordstrums Treasure ( I was working on that a little over this last week, and I'm really happy with how it's developing, dare I say... I think it might be the best game I've ever made ) But I could just be a little bias.

I'm going to sign off here with a little update on Long Road Home and The Cabin.

Long Road Home:
As I said above, it's pretty much finished; I'm just waiting for 4 animations to be finished, and then I need to render everything, add music/sfx, and achievements for Steam. I hope to have a release ready by the 15th of December.
The Cabin:
Work on the cabin has slowed down a little, but no where near what it has in recent years. The only reason it slowed down is simply because I needed to get animations done for Emi. But in terms of work, I have 5 scenes completed and another 4 left to do, which I plan on smashing out as soon as Emi is finished. I've also finsished the writing and finally thought up an ending to the game thanks to some of you guys :)
That's all I have for you for now, if you read through it all and made it this far, have a cookie if you skipped to the end, leave that cookie alone, it's not for you! Naughty!

So basically he wants to work on longer games? I see emi failed to come out and maybe been pushed back till next year but do you think this game will have an actual ending since it's gonna be the last one for emi?

That's how I understand it. Cell is pretty upfront and open about what's going on, so I don't expect him to disappear like some other devs. It will come out when he's finished it.

Emi - Long Road Home Update | December 4Ks

Hey all,
We're at that point once more where the year is coming to an end. It's been a while since we've had any 4Ks, so I decided to do some to cap off the year. You may notice they're not Christmas-themed; that's simply because I suck at themed renders ( I think the Emi Christmas Special is a good example of that :p ).

I wanted to give a little update on Emi too; the game was pretty much stalled throughout December due to a backlog of renders. I have them all finished now, and the game is very close to completion, but going forward, I really need to learn to render as I go and not just leave it all till the end. But as I said, it's almost done now. I just need to do the music/audio, and then it will be ready for release on here, but I probably won't release it on Steam until after Christmas, just because I'm waiting for them to review the build, and I'm guessing they won't be doing it over the Christmas week.

Now that I've finished working on Emi, my focus is back on the cabin, and I'll have a more detailed update for that before the end of the year ( or the start of the year, depending if I forget or not 0.0 ).

Spotted this and downloaded the apk to see what it does. The program appears to install just fine, but after invoking it by clicking its icon, the program immediately crashes. It does not advance to the "permissions" submenu and does not appear to create the "com.koga3.emi" subfolder.

Something immediately fails directly after displaying the loading/splash screen, dumping me back to wherever I have the start icon positioned on my main screen or within a VN subfolder.

Android 14. The "app" permissions screen indicates that the program has neither required permissions nor denied permissions, for whatever that might be worth.

Odd.

Info: made a new port, maybe that fixes those issues on newer Android version (on my Samsung phone with v14 it worked)
