*Raises hand* I have a few questions I'd like to get an accurate response to. Thanks.
Edit 1 - Added strike-throughs and the additional line following them.
Edit 2 - Noted that LSS is no longer a team project but a lead by a single developer now.
- (Ren'Py Remake?) -
The game is currently Unity, but I've heard rumors that the game is going to be remade using Ren'Py. Is that right? If so, then do we have a timeline of when the game might make an appearance using the Ren'Py engine? I think as far as VNs go, that'd be cool.EDIT: A Ren'Py conversion seems to be on the table but whether the (now solo) dev will want to do so is still up in the air.
- (Incest Patch?) - Is this one of those games that have an "unofficial, yet official" Incest patch to make things make sense? I noted that there is a patch for it in the OP, but I don't know how necessary it's needed. I found that many games that have these unofficial, official incest patches doesn't make a lick of sense if one were to play without them installed. For example, an MC living with their "landlady" for their entire life, rent-free, while the MC's young, female housemate just strolls up into the MC's room uninvited, half-naked. Oft-times, the dialogue script for characters in these games that pretend to not be incest-based are off-putting or odd, or in the worst cases, simply jarring.
- (Duo Connection?) - How much is the previous game, Duo, play into this one, if any? It appears that development has all but ceased on Duo as far as I can tell. However, do I need to play that one first in order to pick up on any connections between the two games while going through LSS? Or does Duo have no part whatsoever in LSS?

1- Yes, game is being Remade into Ren'py. Don't think there's any prediction for the release yet, but I'm not a patron, so I can't be 100% sure.
2- From what I remember there's only 1 character that is seen as a friend, but it would be dubbed as a sister with an incest patch. However the dialogues still made sense without the patch. I never used it since incest isn't something I'm generally drawn to. I don't mind it, but it's definitely not something that a game needs to have to make me interested.
3- No Duo connection whatsoever, they're completely independent games. LSS was/is a very good game. Duo was interrupted at quite an early stage of it's development so there's a very small amount of content on that one, however I still think that as a game Duo was more interesting then LSS. Not that LSS isn't good, because it actually is pretty good game, especially when you consider most of the crap games around here, but still, Duo premise and mechanics seemed better. That one becoming abandoned is what actually bums me out the most, but hey, such is life.

Ah thanks for the reply. I got ninja'd regarding the Ren'Py Remake bit by you as I was editing that portion, lol. From what I read by the developer, a conversion to Ren'Py is a likely possibility but not a definitive one as of yet.
Regarding the incest bit, that's good to hear! I'm not a big fan of it, like you, but won't disparage folks that do. It's good to know that the dialogues in the script appears to sound smoothly when you're running across them in game. Cheers on that!
Re: Duo - I see. Maybe I'll look into it more. In any event, thanks for taking the time in answering my questions, xgrotesc. Have a good one! :]

Amen. Thats the exact feeling I got when I played this last. At least the dev realizes his short coming and can either grow as a writer or hire someone to do it.

Btw, it's perfectly safe to become a Patron. TTrick is freezing charges until further notice. So, you won't be charged if you become a Patron, and you can read the latest updates. Long story short (lol), he's been busy and been looking at which engine he'll use for the continuation of LSS. He was underwhelmed with Renpy and has all but decided not to use Renpy. He won't use Unity either, though. He decided he'll try to do something himself, whatever that means. Also, he opened a new Discord channel. That's pretty much it.
So, don't expect a release anytime soon.

Oh yes. Ren'Py is feature rich and very easy to use. I don't see any reason not to use it for VN.
Its default UI is just an example. It's easy to change it, even making it look like in old LSS.
Using anything like React Native or something would be just reinventing the wheel, with not so convenient means.
For instance, Python is so much simpler than JS...
Shit.

I mean it's not like the guy didn't do anything for 6 months. He has a life on the side.
Ttrick is a professional dev (or rather coder). He doesn't code in the Ren'py language tho. He wants to do it in the one he knows and feel comfortable with. Let's give him some slack and see what happens.
Let's all remember the guy is being decent and not charging anyone (unlike some others I won't cite cause we all know who I mean) and opened about what is going on. Yeah it's frustrating but at least it's not abandonned.

I understand that this has already been unfortunately abandoned, but how much sharing scenes are there?

Thanks for the update.
As long as it doesn't get cancelled I'm happy to wait. good story with great renders.
Not abandoned but the idea of not using two of the most common engines is concerning, especially if it was floated that he may be thinking of his own. That would mean it's on hold for a VERY long time.
Even if not, the language suggests a desire to do it differently and with no quick solution it's effectively done. I'd be surprised if another release happens. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised!
Yet, he paused the charges so I don't feel any sense of a cash out situation or shady business going on. I hope he gets it going again!
