I want to take a moment to thank everyone supporting the game's development. Your support makes all of this possible! We’re on the right track, and I can’t wait to share more updates with you.

I was wondering who she is myself. I never got this scene in my original play. (Initially, I thought she was the Principal without her glasses, who was never given a first name.) I'm assuming that MC meets Julia on the first day, when you decide to not go to school with Akane. The problem occurs when you make the OTHER decision (going to school WITH Akane and meet Azuki), and get a cold meeting assuming that you know her and therefore don't need an introduction.

Is the latest version (019) compressed? The compressed download is labelled "01.9", but the unpacked file is labelled "01" (The last scene is with Tae finishing up cleaning the apartment.)

Yes, it's linked to it, it also labeled v0.1.9. The full version unpacks as 01 as well, it is just how the developer named it. You can check in-game, either in options, about or at the top of the screen.

So is there any further content past the Tae scene? I'm asking because the latest Changelog (0.1.9) indicates that there is but, if so, the (compressed) version I downloaded as 0.1.9 doesn't have it.

A locked post was made on patreon 9 hrs ago. Don't know what's it about
It's not locked...

Hey everyone,

This is my first real update here, so let me give you the full picture.

The last few months have been intense. Back in March my account got hacked and I lost access to my Lightroom, where I had a ton of finished renders and other assets stored. For a while I thought I had lost everything, and honestly it hit me hard — it killed my motivation for a bit. Thankfully, after a lot of stress, I managed to recover all the lost files.

On top of that, life got even busier: I had a kid, worked extra hours, and spent a lot of time taking care of him while my partner recovered. That left me with very little time (or energy) to post updates or work consistently on the game.

Still, I never stopped. I’m doing this project completely solo — writing, coding, rendering, animation, everything — and little by little I’ve kept moving forward. Several scenes are now finished (including the image one ).

Now that things at home are more stable and I finally have more free time, I can really focus on polishing every detail: movement, lighting, pacing… I want this project to feel worth the wait.

Thanks for being patient and sticking around. More updates are coming soon.

It's showing as locked for me as well. Either way thanks for the update, this is great news.
The dev has a free level, where you just join but pay nothing and can get some of the news posted. It's locked if you're not signed in on Patreon and haven't joined for free. So technically it would be locked in that case, but the Join for free button should've clued you in on how you could access the post's content.

Anyway, FFR that's available.

Every developer has a "free level" but doesn't mean anything will be unlocked, joining free is more or less a "follow". But joining free tiers will let you see a lot more content.

Yep. So it's "locked" if you're not both signed in and following them. It's not public-facing, which is the only reason I can see someone would say it's "locked".

I wasn't following them anymore so from a cursory glance it seemed locked
