This game as it stands right now has the bones for something great. The game so far is well written and stylistically fresh, and there's a great variety of characters; romancable or no. I'm excited for what is going to be like further down the road!

Thank you for playing and leaving your feedback! I'm putting a lot of love into this project, so reading these reviews makes my day. I hope the next update continues to surprise you, I can't wait to share it with you soon, guys.

Hello people!

The development of v0.2.4 is moving forward nicely. As many of you already know, this part of the day takes place in the coffee shop, and I've included a small preview in the header of this post to give you a little taste of what's coming.

Over the past few days, I've been looking into video encoding, since some of the clips were appearing blurry. I finally found a way to make them look sharper, though I still need to run more tests to reduce file size without sacrificing too much quality. It's not perfect, but it's the best I can achieve within Unity's limitations using the VP8 format, so I'm squeezing as much quality out of it as possible.

I also took some time to review the results of the survey about the conversation style. With 74% of the votes, the option to bring the camera closer during dialogues came out on top. Those of you who have played version 0.2.3 may have noticed that I've been experimenting with new camera angles and character animations. I also really liked the idea suggested by Patreon supporter Meabe: using closer shots for 1-on-1 or more intimate conversations, and a wider camera for group dialogues.

So I'm combining all of that: the approach Meabe mentioned, plus the more detailed style I tried out in 0.2.3. You'll see this in v0.2.4, and later on I'll update some of the older scenes as well.

And that's pretty much it... Ah, no! I almost forgot! Next week I'll be doing another cross promo! So stay tuned!

As always, thank you so much for your support, everyone! More and more of you keep placing your trust in me and helping me out. You're the best.

Sending a big hug to you all!

Such an addictive game, I'm craving for more!

All characters have a lot of charisma, locations are very detailed and immersive, and they transmit the feelings that they should, and the decision making is so authentic, you can turn your character into a more polite/mischevious/horny one in a natural and smooth way, which is reinforced as conversations go by, as these games should be.

The detail of having all you need in your phone is the icing on the cake.

Can't wait for the next updates to continue the story!

Are the sex scenes free to look at from any angle?

Speaking as someone who doesn't frequently play visual novels, Heartstrings grabbed my attention with its thoughtful storytelling, nostalgic Y2K setting and eye-catching style. One of the things I find most appealing is that instead of being a mindless sex fest, the lewd scenes are introduced in a way that feels organic and directly tied to the player's choices. As a gamer, I like to feel rewarded for the actions I make in a game, and Heartstrings delivers in that regard, even in this early stage of development.

Outside of the choice-based gameplay, I really enjoyed navigating the school and familiarizing myself with the layout without a map. I have always favored games that make me use my head to make progress without holding my hand, and that is very much present here. The presence of the in-game clock speaks to the urgency of making it to each class on time, which would be trivialized if a map was available. I would love to see branching story paths spring up from losing track of time and failing to stick to the school day schedule, which would also lend to the organic way the story unfolds.

The few flaws that I can think of are typical of a game in early development. Some of the ambient sounds in the build I played (Alpha 2.2.1) were a little rough when looping and some of the dialog/narration felt a little off in a couple places, but these are things that would naturally end up being polished before the full release. All in all, Heartstrings shows a ton of promise. If you're looking for solid storytelling, early 2000s vibes and being rewarded for progress with some seriously tasty lewd scenes, consider this recommendation!

It's an amazing game, highly recommended. It has a captivating story and a good plot where you can make your own decisions and follow the path you want. I'm looking forward to it continuing to grow And with updates and new features, the game has a lot of potential, plus you can find it in both English and Spanish. In short, it's an amazing game.

Really good! you can tell a ton of work went into it

Great graphics, classic point-and-click vibes from the golden age, nice dialogue flow, smooth navigation, and I love the idea of blocking off the areas of the school you don’t need to visit at the beginning so you don’t get lost… 100% recommended!

Thank you all so much for your kind words and feedback! I'm really pleased that you liked it so much! ♥♥♥

I can't wait to show you the other new scenes and mechanics I'm working on. I'm sure you're going to love them.

Hey, thanks for sharing the posts. I don't know if you do it because you're some kind of moderator or because you like the game.

Hello people!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to have update v0.2.4 ready for today as I had planned. As always, a few setbacks during this final stage of development have delayed things a bit.

I usually avoid giving specific dates because unexpected things tend to come up, and I don't feel good when I can't meet them. However, I will do my best to have it ready by next week, as there isn't much left to do. Hopefully, I can deliver this little Christmas gift to you all.

On another note, I'm participating in a new bundle! It's the

That's all for now. I hope to be back next week with a new update, I'll do my best to make it happen.

And, as always, thank you so much for all your support.

Wishing you all a very happy holiday season!

Changelist v0.2.3.1:

• Continuation of the story on the third day: visit to the nurse's office and encounter before entering.
• Added new character: Megan Dixon.
• Fixed issue with tooltips. They were broken and not working correctly.
• Fixed issue with the mobile phone UI, as well as other UIs, where text continued to show while the UI was visible, causing unexpected errors.
• Fixed issue where scenes would restart when closing certain UIs.
• Increased the maximum number of characters when choosing the character's first name and last name from 8 characters each to 12. (You may experience visual issues when setting names and surnames over 16 characters, which was the previous limit).
• Fixed Emma/Emily's name in the science class.
• Fixed some texts in the first gym class.
• Fixed issue with resolutions: The game is designed to work correctly in 16:9 resolutions, and other resolutions were being filtered out. Now, if your monitor doesn't support those resolutions, you can choose a resolution from the available options, and it will display a warning about possible visual errors.
• Fixed issue with Steve's first appearance, where the Constructive attribute was reduced to 1 in a couple of responses.

• Reduced the amount of libido required to take a detailed, lustful look at Emily when you first meet her.
• Added time progression during the infirmary scene.
• Fixed a bug that allowed the fantasy scene with Kally to trigger at an invalid time, which broke the game.

• Added a window in the main menu with a warning to change the resolution in case of visual or UI problems with the game.
• Updated the list of Patreons in the main menu.

Certainly looks promising, though can't play at right this moment. Am curious about it though... even if I want to wait till it is "finished". which I may not be able to do so, haha

Anyway, do hope you get to group sex with Bi girls, because that's my kink. Even if, again, that will be a while, probably.

Just wanted to say your project looks interesting, and commend you for making a sex game that is, well, a game, and doing it pretty well, going by the reviews.

Also, if you ever do a system for going on dates, I think it would be awesome if you're able to do group dates. Just saying, lol

Will probably check out what's there tonight, honestly.

 

[capt21]

thx

 

[cooperdk]

Why do the renders look ... sub-par? It is definitely not Daz quality.
Interesting still.

 

[Horny Potato20]

congrats!!

Hello! Thank you very much! Yes, I try to emphasize the gameplay and the story a lot.

Having threesomes with bisexual girls (or encouraging them and getting them to engage in bisexual practices) or group sex is something I'd like to add, but I don't know when I'll get to that part of the story.

thx

You welcome!

Hi! Great to hear you find it interesting. Yes, people are usually a bit reluctant to play my game because it doesn't have typical DAZ graphics and it's made in Unity, not RenPy, but most people like it when they are given a chance.

The last two updates (v0.2.3.1 and v0.2.4) feature improved graphics, which you can see in this image:



I plan to update everything I've already created with these new graphics.

congrats!!

Thank you, Potato!

Looks interesting, but can someone explain the futa/trans tag? Is it a LI? Or avoidable content that won't keep popping up every two minutes and I have to keep saying no to or avoiding.
