Steam release wasn't planned iirc, but maybe eventually. But the high school theme doesn't really fly with Steam in adult games, regardless of the age of the characters.

I seem to have missed it. Maybe you can give me five examples from five different users in five different discussions. But in my defense, I stop reading a post when it contains something the dev has already denied. Like Layla and Lexi being MC's halfsiblings, for example.
Not gonna happen. Easy as that.
Long hair, fr fr.I did not realize this was such a controversial takefor polling purposes who prefers Iris's long hair and who prefers her short hair?

Absolutely. There are a lot of vagaries left unexplained, perhaps intentionally. We don't see any relevant backstory involving the MC and Lexi, outside of what she tells the MC.
And we are both extrapolating at parts because we have to. The dev never explains how Lexi knew it was MCs birthday, no what they knew or didn't know about each other. I see it as her being more familiar than lets on, which also kind of fits her thought process in the argument with Erynn; and you see it as Erynn could have told her. Both could be valid, or I could flat out be wrong. I think we are just seeing it with different colored glasses on.
Maybe I live in a different part of the world, but I don't normally see/hear strangers or distant acquaintances consoling one another by kissing them on the cheek. That's a very vulnerable moment to be in, and I see it as pretty awkward if someone was to kiss an almost stranger on the cheek. I've consoled even good friends before, but never have I kissed them. To me, that involves much more familiarity with someone. Sure, in some areas of the world people kiss on the cheeks as a greeting, but this is definitely not that as it's neither a greeting nor a farewell kiss.

Because she's a kind person who doesn't want to see an innocent kid be miserable. She doesn't need to have a romantic interest in a little kid to do that for him. In fact, it'd be really weird if had such an interest at that time. That's why she wasn't happy that he stole her first kiss.
Alexis is a romantic. She thought it was adorable how the MC gave Erynn a flower, and she wished that someday she could have a guy bring her flowers. So when she sits next to a cute guy on an airplane several years later, and learns that he's that very same little boy now grown up, it's like she's living in a Hallmark movie. Now there's potential for that first kiss to become a sweet romantic story about how she met the one who would become her true love. Maybe this could be the start of a whirlwind romance where he bring her flowers and becomes the man she always dreamed of. All she has to do now is not screw it up.
So she screws it all up by not mentioning Erynn for fear that Erynn would ruin everything. The MC starts dating her sister instead, but quickly realizes that Elena is the much better choice and the two live happily ever after. Alexis becomes a cautionary tale about the dangers of dishonesty, and Erynn marries Ethan because she would rather hope for a white knight to come rescue her instead of fixing her own problems. Iris and Zach both end up in prison for various sex crimes.
The End.

ah I thought a attempt for steam was planned after the release as I thought the FAQ in her discord said alot of things need to be done if one happens. didn't know it was entirely off the table while kind of sucks I understand be to much of a hassle to fix and change things while the game is done

IIRC (been a while)...other than the flashback...neither do we see any relevent backstory regarding Erynn and the MC either....other than that event...
Why is one 'not being seen' so much more important than the other to some people?

Iris with short hair looks like she'd slash my tires and try to steal my gf for not checking her out as she walks by.

this is from early last week...
"If, and that's a big if, everything works out and there won't be some major issues, I finish everything this week, playtest early next week, I might have a release by the end of next week"
So maybe sometime this week... don't take it for granted though, more here:

Oh, thanks for the explanation. Sucks she has to deal with all that.
I'd certainly have liked to see it on Steam, but whatever her reasons it's obviously her decision.
Guess I'll head over to Patreon and reshuffle my subs a bit. Doesn't feel entirely right not to pay at least a little for something I've enjoyed this much.

Will the age retcon mess with the fact he's in the last year of high school at all? I honestly didn't even think about him being underage with the Iris flashback until now.

Me too. Me too. But she had to change a lot because of the Steam rules. After some incidents with games from Japan they don't allow any games anymore which takes place in school and have explicit sexual content. To change the whole thing from school to university in a way it would make sense storywise is too much work.

Makes sense, his grades fell after the Erynn situation then he moved. Bound to create problems academically.

Yeah, and absolutely noone wants a rework, especially when it's this far into development.
Never heard about the Japanese games, but I can imagine.
Thanks again for the explanation.

yeah I always assumed it would be done after the game is completed if it even did happen tbh. I was under the impression it was still on the table since the FAQ in discord did mention alot needs to be done but things do change.
