I did not miss baby finches, I am heavily implying they had an incestuous relationship(which is what resulted in the world breaking), and the relationship mentioned by noriko is never fully clarified as what KIND of relationship she was jealous of considering maya was 6 and sensei was like 15-17 when he walked out of noriko's life... current sensei seems to have the moral compass to hit that regardless but older versions of him have been portrayed as much more... thoughtful and far less skevy than that. The biggest fault in my theory to me is needing an explanation for Maya's last name.

I'm not so sure on her relation, I do think she had some sort of relationship prior to the story, but my best guess is they had a romantic relationship, not a familial one. Furthermore, I believe Noriko to have been the reason for the game's events in the first place. My theory is that she got in the way of old Sensei and Maya in a deadly way, or at least it was supposed to be deadly. He survived and Maya realizes that he isn't the same and acts cold to him for that reason, because it is not the same person. Noriko doesn't, however, which is why her intro plays out like it does. She only realizes that the relationship between Maya and what I now refer to as player Sensei is over. She still thinks the man she tried to kill is there, just with no memory of the relationship she tried to end by force, and as a result, she's trying to take him agressively in a sexual blitzkrieg before he can either regain his memory or reestablish a relationship with someone else on the same level he had before. That's my theory, anyway.

Hm ok. Sorry but i dont see them being related. At least not by blood.
I dont know either how Noriko might know about Sensei and Maya.
Maybe it was one of the only information she was able to gather about him. Given her personality she could be the archetype of a stalker.

If im correct that Maya wants her old mentaly ill Sensei back because they were like soulmates its difficult to understand why she tries to prevent Sensei from knowing too much (the past).
Click to expand...
I think that has something to do with Sensei getting broken every time he dives too deep into his past. That's why she tries subtle approach and goes mad when Noriko just dups lore on Sensei without any consequences.

She insinuates that new Sensei might in fact be old Sensei (with missing or messed up memories).

This much is pretty much confirmed.

And if he finds out about himself the world would end or at least Sensei gets erased out of that world or becomes a mental neutrum.

I think it's Sensei's own doing, a failsafe. He wanted to be free from whatever heavy shit was in his life and just fuck around with girls in infinite loops. His memories always lurks just beyond the surface, enough to remember tastes and have general statements like "I've always...", but dive too deep and he goes bananas.

I used to think that Maya was Sensei's daughter, now I think she's a sister of a woman, that Sensei was really in love with and that eventually married a man Sensei felt deeply inferior to, his own brother. That kinda explains her attitude towards Noriko. They were in similar situations, a competitors, rivals.

I love the game and the girls but the MC he has no feeling he doesn't give two shits he's boring and kinda cold all he freaking cares about is how to get in the girls pants he doesn't give two shits about what they like or don't like he says that many times we just have an MC that doesn't care for any of that why do we have to go through with it why can't we get an option to just fuck them like the MC wants he's not looking for a wife or gf he just wants to get his dick wet and move on to the next girl till hes fuck them all and then he's done
Click to expand...
Honestly, I don't think this is entirely true. There are several moments where he very obviously does care about them. It's certainly how the MC sees himself, and it's true that he's not a good person, but he's also very obviously not a heartless monster. Also, he hasn't raped anyone. Even when he kissed Yumi, it seemed pretty clear to me that something took control from him. He's not a good person, but he's also not completely uncaring.

I finally caved, not once have I ever spent money on any kind of porn whatsoever but the writing in this is so incredible that I am now a $5 patron. Looking forward to checking out the new update and iirc I think another drops in a few days. Looking forward to it Selebus, keep this shit going.

I guess I’m pretty much the same, but a couple of steps behind; never spent (or intend to) on pron or depravity, but now plan to throw in a contribution to one of the basic tiers for this.
Even though I’m probably a good deal less frequent / regular than many appear to be, and probably won’t actually end up getting round to the updates before the ‘public’ release.

I guess the question I have is; which ‘host’ (Paetron, SS…) is best to contribute through? Does one take a bigger / smaller cut?
I know the direct impact of my single choice will likely be in the fractional-penny range, but it could help others with the same choice.


Also; does the presence of a banner for HOPE indicate the character will soon be added to the Main Girls roster, and we can start seducing?

Yo! They both take about the same cut so it's really whichever one you prefer. If you intend to vote on the polls, it's probably easier to do it through Patreon since an extra step is involved for voting through SubscribeStar.

Thanks so much for considering supporting the game!

Main page says there's a compressed Android version as I'm pretty sure installing a 3.7g APK won't work (correct me if I'm wrong) yet I can't find the compressed Android version. Only win/Linux/mac.

Halp?

I don't believe a compressed android version for the current version has been made yet, as it's done unofficially. Keep an eye on the thread and I'm sure it will be made eventually. However, from what I've heard on this thread in the past, it's generally better to use an emulator to run the game on android, as there has been problems with the compressed android version running in the past.

I believe Joiplay was the recommended emulator? But I've never actually tried running the game on android myself, so may want to wait for someone else to respond.

There's one last remaining step to reach perfection - hint for each girl where to look for next event. I don't know how difficult it would be, but I can dream. Never again wandering around and looking for something happen.
Click to expand...
This is something I've thought about a bit. The event list pages have a lot of empty space on them, so it wouldn't be difficult to add a single line of text next to each giving some hints (though still pretty time consuming).

But if I were going to do something like this, I'd probably want to do more and have that text change depending on the player's actions. Something like this:

nikimod.JPG

Here, there's no text next to Cotton Candy because the player's already completed it. But they haven't seen Semantics, a Rin event required for the next Niki event, so they're pointed in that direction. Once they've seen that event, the text changes to "Call Niki at night."

Doing that would obviously take a lot more time (and testing to make sure things were working correctly) and, with the guide/wiki out there, I'm not sure if it's worth it (also, the triggers for most events are really straight forward).

I've updated vehemental's table version of my mod to 0.15.0p2:

I moved some of the text around to make space for Nodoka and Otoha (and in preparation for Touka and Yasu) and made it more compact. I also added ! indicators next to the names of girls with available events and stats for main and happy events on the side. I don't know how useful this will be, but I also added a tracker visible during Chapter 1 showing how many of the 278 events required for beginning Chapter 2 you've seen (or missed).

This mod will cause releases earlier than 0.15.0p2 to crash.
Click to expand...
sadly I am still on 0.15.0p1, so I am wondering how hard would it be for a non-coder like me to edit this mod so it can run on ver 0.15.0p1?
