Even though HS models look cute, the writing does make me want to kill myself, in addition most of the missions make non-sense, let's see what the next updates will bring.

Too many problems with saves.

You need to work on it, every time i tried to save i got sent to another location and time previous to where i was.

Fix the saves, and then i will try it again

As far as Patrons go....speaking for myself, I don't even consider donating until I've seen a game get at least six months worth of steady, regular updates. And even then, i'm only considering it. Because even then, we've all seen it happen where a game is one or two updates away from being finished and the Dev quits.

I know that may seem and feel a bit unfair, but I've been burned too many times and seen too many promising games fizzle out in the first few months that i'm no longer willing to put my wallet into a project before I can be sure i'm not flushing my wallet down the drain.

I've wanted to make a game myself for a while. If/when I decide to do it, I've resolved that I am simply going to do it without worry about whether or not people pay. Because even if I don't get a single patron for the first game, once people see that I complete what I start, once they see that i'm not going to take their money and then cut out before delivering the final product they'll be MUCH more open to the idea of Patroning my next game.

Help is always more needed for beginners.
Speaking for myself too - I don't expect or eager for $1000 after v0.1 or smth like that. But I'm not that self-confident to make a game for six months without any support and still think:"Hey, don't worry, Archon, your game is good, just keep going." Instead I'll think: "Your game is trash, Archon. Stop wasting your time. Nobody cares will you keep going or not." If you didn't develop a game, you don't know yet how much effort it takes to make the best quality you can. If you feel that nobody cares about your efforts, it's just psychologically hard to bear. For me, this situation is easier to bear, because I don't have high expectations, and I'm passionate about my game, so I can hold out longer than others.
So 2 patrons with 1$ support each that I have now give me the strength to keep working more than possible 20 patrons with 20$ each after six months. As Timur said: "It's better to be on hand with ten men than absent with ten thousand."
I understand that helping beginners is a risk. But without the help (even small) many of them will never become professionals.

Can you tell me your OS? Do you literally every time sent to another location? If not, can you describe, where does it happen? Can you repeat the bug and report your steps to me so I can find and fix it?

Why does the MC still say that Pino will marry Danaka, when you choose to keep her for the MC?
I don't want that fat idiot to have her.

Because of the agreement with Bahuton, violation of which could lead to war with the farm or/and suspension of food supplies. In general, because of difficult situations, the MC will often not be able to act directly, but he will always have the opportunity to eventually get what he wants. There will be a bunch of quests to get Danka. Don't worry - there won't be any unexpected NTR content.

OK but according to the dialogue Bahuton wants to marry off his daughter to one of "the hands" (MC's friends) so their is a connection and the new lord won't treat them (the farm) badly, Danka says in her dialogue that her father wants to just get rid of her by marrying her off because she is a mutant (tainted), both of these apparent reasons for her to get married to "Pino" would also be solved by the MC taking her for himself so... I don't see why her father would have an issue with the new lord asking for the daughter for himself, wouldn't that be a better connection than her just being married to the lords hand?

The MC gets the right to become a Lord only if he is engaged to Taina. He is not a Lord by birth. In fact, he is an impostor who does not yet have any rights without Taina. When his position is strengthened, he can choose who he marries. Right now, he's only doing what he can.

WIndows 8 PRO

Every time i saved that wasnt at morning i got sent back.

Just start the game and save the game after every screen and you will eventually get the bug. Its very easy to get it

You think saving after every screen is a very easy way? There are more than 200 screens. I tried to save in each room and in dialogues - it works. That's why I'm asking for more info about the bug.
Which version of the game did you download (you can check it in right bottom corner in main menu)?

Some news.
In the next version (0.2) you will meet your "housemate" (or whatever you called her (not a sister, I hope? She can't be your sister, cuz it's an innocent porn game, not some sinful "Game of Thrones")):

More info about what's going on and what to expect in next updates (and some 4K pics) you can find on (by becoming my patron).
Currently I am looking for a proofreader, if you wish to help - you are welcome.
We have a Discord group and it's used for the development only atm, but I'm planning to make more channels and open it when I got at least 10 patrons.
That's it. Have a nice day, sirs!

I downloaded the last version. I deleted it now so i cant open it. Save every screen un the prologue, and in the first 2 days of the game you will have the problem.

I am not the only one having this issue, and i have played renpy games for years already, its unplayable like this, so i think you should put the time fixing it

As I said: I did as you said and I got no problems with the save. I can't put my time to fix it, if I don't know what exactly to fix. Screens in the prologue haven't my renpy code, it's straight renpy's kinda "show screen". So it should be an issue with renpy then. Ofc, I'll check my code again (I always do) - sometimes renpy has very unpredictable behavior.
It's not like I don't want to spend my time to fix the bug. I've fixed many bugs people reported.

Gotta give positive feedback where it's due. Even if it's not the kind you'd very justifiably prefer. At least not yet :)

Just started a new game and right away the spelling/grammar is noticeably improved. Still some hints that English isn't a first language, but the improvement is very noticeable. So credit where credit is due. Well done.

The virgin blood is a nice touch, though it might be a good idea to use a slightly darker shade of red. The girl's skin is pretty tan/orange and the blood is a pretty bright shade of red so I almost didn't notice it at first.

Haven't gotten to any of the new content yet, so i'll offer more thoughts later :)
