I'm playing the new version but for some reason after a while if i start a quest, the top left grey bar that displays what's happening in combat gets stuck on the screen and It doesn't go away no matter what i try. So right now i can't progress the story because otherwise i will be stuck with a sticker in the top left corner for the rest of the game

Where in the castle does Sara appear? Cuz I'm only able to go through the grand hallway to the garden & got the trophy for beating her like 25 times already + at S-rank w/ -1 quests to rank up.
& she doesn't show during any time slots.
Also, roxy appeared in my room, but can't click on her for some reason.

in the courtyard, at "Morning" take a left at the garden, follow through that hallway, and that will bring you to the courtyard.
I will have to look into the not being able to click roxy thing

everything said was facts there's already going to be a gaggle of women who were aged up lilth zenith etc so I would say gotta balance it out and let me go into the facts that many fans have seen Aisha and Norn's potential not even mentioning the lil sister troupe that continues to be huge big brother rudeus has got to guide his lil sisters
I personally have a couple criticisms about the game.
One: The artistic styling of the lettering, where it's not solid, but more see through... makes it very difficult to see what options are being selected. That could just be a color choice, or something stylistic. Allowing the player to select their own font isn't a bad idea though, but maybe a 'default' simple solid font for the letters in the options area would benefit the game.
Two: The drawn arrows for movement, while an interesting choice of transportation, is difficult to see. There were times when I couldn't figure out where I was, or how to get out of the room. This became such a frustration, that I deleted the game before meeting anyone other than the maid.
Three: Early game, there isn't exactly a clear 'direction'. As in, it's easy to become lost and not know what to do. This can create frustration in the player as well, and that compounded with not always being able to figure out where the arrows that would let me move around a scene are... yeah, sorry. The game shows a heck of a lot of promise, but it's not for me.
Maybe if some work was done in regards to the font and arrow visibility, I might pick it up, even if I have to spend a couple hours just figuring out where to go.

I am using both? and even boosty too.
I agree Subscribestar has slightly more lax rules, but its only very slightly. The people that keep acting like subscribestar is so much better clearly has never read the TOS of both of them. Though there is a lot more to the situation than you seem to understand. Lets make an easy to understand list for you, and anyone else wondering.
1. The lack of Loli content has nothing to do with patreon vs subscribestar. It is because I don't want to make that content, nothing against anyone that is into it. But to me it is to close to pedophilia content which I am super against on a personal level and will never make anything to do with that. My only regret with patreon's rules against minors in the story is that I had to remove Rudeus's children from the story. They were never going to be added as Romanceable characters anyways, but as side characters used in the battle system.
2. Patreon is actually a lot easier to use as a creator. Patreon allows me to remove my balance and add it directly to my paypal in literal seconds. With no minimum amount needed to withdraw. Where as subscribestar ONLY allows you to withdraw to an actual bank account (Which I do not have) and does not allow paypal as a withdraw method. Not only that it takes around 3 weeks to get your money. AND you can not withdraw until you have 100$ in your account first.
3. I had my subscribestar account approved since the Alpha 1 of this game launched. I only ever had 1 member on subscribestar. Who was there for one month then cancelled. Where as I have had consistently around 17 paid members on patreon, some come and go, others pay for one month to get the new update then cancel right after. Generally though I am making around 120$-200$ a month from my patreon. The fact that everyone is choosing to use patreon over subscribestar kinda tells you what the majority of people prefer right?
4. To even further comment on the state of subscribestar. I also have the game published on itch.io where I have a paid and free version, I set that up as soon as Alpha 2 launched, specifically for the people that just wanted to try an update without fully committing to a longer term subscription thing. I have made 50$ last month from itch.io while still only having the one subscriber on subscribestar. And also itch.io doesnt even need withdrawing money as it instantly transfers directly to paypal.
SO what I am trying to say is this. If enough people used subscribestar then I would be forced to open a bank account and use that, but as it is since there is no way for me to even access the money that is in there until I reach either 100 or 150$ in my account (Different sites say I need a different amount for a minimum) Why would I be pushing people to use it? Also lets look at analytics. I am still a very small creator there are not very many people that are viewing any of my pages at the moment, Hell there is more traction here than anywhere else, Itch.io usually gives around 200 views per day on both of my games pages combined. My patreon sees around 50 views a day, and my subscribestar sees 4 views per day.
BUT aside from all of that business side of things, I am currently worrying more about making a fun to play game, than stressing about money. Just pointing out the stats as you are not the first person to say "Patreon sucks use subscribestar" also not the first person to clearly see in my posted links subscribestar and patreon are both there... But yea the point is to make a fun game that also has porn, not just another porn game. I hope that makes sense. Think like The Witcher series right? Or Cyberpunk those are fun games that also happen to have nudity. I am aiming to make this a fun game that has a harem aspect to it. Which is why if you read through the comments on here you will notice I generally reply rather quickly to anyone and everyone that are talking about gameplay features they liked or disliked, or bugs they ran into, way faster than I reply to people that just want to see x scene, or x tag added.
Now I really hope none of that came off as condescending or rude because I did not mean for it to come off that way. I was just trying to state facts and give a well thought out logical response.

Hey thanks for taking the time to try it, So I know this does not help things right now. But there is an NPC in the game currently that does tell you where to go next you are actually directly next to them after the tutorial ends. Though the next update I going to be working on for the game I will be changing the scene for the office area completely, removing that NPC and adding it all to the book menu as I want to put as many features into that book as I can.
I have seen a couple of comments about the font color, so that baby blue color is the one you have issues with right?
Can you let me know what would be a better color? Personally I am debating just going with black arial font as a default for the beta 2 update as it will make it easier since that update will also be adding the Russian and Spanish translations to the game. Do you think that would look better?
The arrows thing, I agree they can be a bit of a pain in the ass to see, I am thinking about just changing them to a solid black arrow, I was going for a stylized look before and try not to cover up to much of the screen. But yea I have noticed sometimes that its like .... where tf is the arrow to leave this room.
This is not directed at anything you said, but it is something people have asked about or mentioned so I figured I would comment on it here too.
I am also going to be removing all of the fade and dissolve transitions when moving around in the beta 2 update, mainly to get feedback on what people prefer.

I had that same thing happen to me during my playthrough, its weird. For some context that is not something that has ever happened on my main game files version of the game, but this Beta 1 version was made by me downloading the version that was already compiled and online, adding the patches to it, playing through it, finding 3 more bugs and fixing those, then recompiling it and uploading it again. I was able to get it to go away though by I think going into a battle winning then leaving the merc group, and it didnt pop up again. Though I fail to see how that graphical bug would cause you to not be able to progress in the story? Its a visual element of a screen. It does not make it so buttons can not be pressed, or you can not traverse the world or continue the story? Are you saying if you save that it stays there forever for you? Like I said I was able to get it go away just by going into another battle. Its basically a bug where the code should be removing it. It seems to be some sort of artifact that is brought up by either A. Me updating to the newest version of Renpy to compile the game, or B. Something to do with when I compressed the game.
alagard, 6th after arial, worked okay-ish [read-able enough] for me.
The others were either
1. too blended [due to color contrast & dyslexia blending them.]
2. stylistic [ex. ballpoint to stripes]
3. big [prstart, where the words overflow at the bottom]
But yeah agree, renpy text, and couple other features, was there for a reason.
Yeah a darker color helps with contrasting to the white background. And the 'shape' of the lettering doesn't help much either -- Aka same complaint about arrows.
Dang thanks; didn't see that arrow; kinda wish they were more solid to help w/ visibility.
Edit: Zenith's room, afternoon; no clue how to exit w/o going to map.
Edit: As for Roxy, no clue either since she's fine during afternoon[20 lust], but after a scene, in the evening[40lust], no highlight / interaction possible.
Could be similar to Slyphy's night scene.
> Attached some saves if that helps; 1-3 is the one you can't click roxy and 1-5 is the afternoon one.
Edit: Welp, seems the storage [in your room] doesn't work either. Since gifting didn't seem to do anything*1 stored them in the chest; when I came back to check, the gifts were gone.
*1 -- tried giving Sara one to see about speeding up the aff requirement (ended up being warped to her bedroom). And the 3 starting cast's lust doesn't grow when given --
Edit: Tutorial/guide guy is kinda bugged; after getting Sara to show in the guild he says it's the end of content; thus no help for Ariel and the other two.
Speaking of Ariel, she's kinda bugged too; no selection of choices, which sometimes causes an error log when clicking on her at night.

I am actually working on changing things as I type this message out, Because it is so rare to get such valuable feedback as you are giving right now, and I have a HORRIBLE memory I will say things like yea need to change that. Then completely space on it for months. So I will be sending some images in a follow up message showing design changes hopefully you will look at them and let me know what you think. Mainly I am designing new arrows, changing font color, Also I am toying around with an idea for the arrows... What do you think about having an always on screen remote lookin thing with up down left right as standard greyed out arrows, then when there is an option to move in that direction the arrow changes to black? See the thing I am currently worried about is dark backgrounds, meaning I should go with a bright vibrant color for the arrows, OR just like a screen with a frame and the arrows as imagebuttons (The remote looking thingy). I am also looking into your edited bugs, off the top of my head the helper dude, works on a variable called 'chapter' He walks you through the story only and not the dates, so are you having him say there is no story left after the Pursena rescue quest? or before? Because he should only help you get to the end of that quest.
The thing with Ariel at night, yea that is already fixed in my game, it is due to a variable called timeOfDay which has values for 0-5 whenever you try to have sex with her at night itis supposed to move the timeOfDay forward by one, but Night is already at timeOfDay = 5 so it crashes. The solution that I went with to fix that in my game was to move her interactions to timeOfDay = 4 instead.
Also yea the gifts don't work anymore, I removed the code for them but did not remove the items, the gifts were originally meant to be a way to skip the dates, and skip the grinding of handjobs and stuff first, but figured they werent that important so I removed them. The thin with the inventory worries me though. Because that should not be able to happen. The only way the inventory should reset is if the game jumps to the load_items variable which "Should" only be possible 1x when you start a new game.

Aha, So I figured out the Zenith thin very quickly, there is an arrow there, but the Zenith imagebutton is actually covering it. So I need to move it over, but its easy to see why you couldnt see it. Because its dark barely visible at all, and mostly covered by zenith you can only see a tiny bit of it between her legs lol.
And as for the Roxy issue, she seems to be clickable for me? Could this be a screen refresh issue? Like did this happen after you clicked the inventory chest? Basically the easy understand version. The code for the Inventory is in screen language and it is not done well, So when you press close, you have to click screen after you close it to refresh the screen so that the normal screen pops back up like it should. The same issue occurs when you access the fridge, and any vender. Though I do have it working perfectly for the Inventory in the book. Not sure why I was able to code it better now than I was then aside from just getting better at coding?
Btw the chest in the bedroom is also removed from my version as it is no longer needed when you have an Inventory on you at all times now.
And fixed
Another edit. I figured out what you are talking about with Roxy, it is specific to Thursday Evening. Its actually doing that because she isn't supposed to be there, Renpy is actually showing the wrong image. Quick fix and I will just add her in there.
And I fixed that too. Good catch on that bug, apparently to get that to happen with Roxy, it needed to be a very specific circumstance. It could only happen if It was Thursday - Evening AND you did not have Sara recruited to move in with you yet. Because the Thursday Evening timeslot is actually Sara's timeslot once she is unlocked. But Fixed it all the same

And here is the Sylphy sleeping image button added.
And also changed the say text to be black with a slight white outline shown here
I am still going down the list of all your messages and fixing everything I am sure I will post more soon.

No the game is my creation following my vision, the customer can and often does add suggestions on things they would like to see, and often I will do what is asked. But just so you know that was not bs or lying. I clearly said it is against TOS I did not say that was the only reason I did not do it. I didn't want to come off as a dick and say something like anyone that likes loli content is a pedo to me. I was trying to be nice. The second reply I was being a little more blunt and honest about why I was not doing it. I even stated why I increased the bust size was because I personally am into chicks with bigger tits. That was me being open and honest. Simple solution though my dude, if you don't like the game don't play it. Though I will keep it real with you right now, that comment likening me to the other devs that just lie and shit, that pissed me off. Because I go out of my way to be as chill a person as possible, I also am constantly being honest about everything. I believe I am one of the few devs that are honest. Which is why if you look at the main post I straight up but in plain easy to understand text the tags that I will never be adding to this game. So trying to push me to go against that is not going to get you anywhere.

Nah bro, It's just that most of the models are downloaded, and there was no model for an adult Rudeus or Orsted, or any of the male characters aside from Paul? that I could find and I am obviously shit at making male character models. I am trying to get better at it though, Like I am learning how to max models in Blender which you will kinda see a little bit in the next update as I made an aqua heartia staff, I am trying to learn how to make clothes and stuff though because Rudeus's cloak thing annoys the piss out of me. As for Orsted I actually tried to make him look like he does in the LN/Anime with the super straight jawline and weird nose and all that, but it came out looking like shit no matter how much I tried.

So this is the list of changes and fixes I just made to my version of the game with your help, and somone elses help on the discord. Thank you for finding issues that I could fix.
I could add these in a patch, if you want. Otherwise I will just make sure they are in the Alpha 3 public release version of the game.
- Changed Arrow colors to make them easier to see.
- Changed Font color.
- Fixed issue where you could not go to sleep with Sylphy
- Fixed issue where you would crash if you moved Ariel to her room.
- Fixed an issue where Roxy was not able to be clicked on Thursday Night - Evening.
- Fixed 2 wrong images being shown issues with Linia.
- Fixed a Typo with Linia's Menu.
- Fixed an issue where you were able to view Pursena in her room before unlocking her.
- Fixed an issue where clicking on Pursena crashed the game.
- Fixed A LOT of issues with the sex screens. Old Positions only used 3-4 speeds. New positions use 6 speeds. I originally copied the 4 speed version and just added 2 speeds to it, without thinking to change what the text buttons said.
So while they already did work correctly, in a technical sense. Visually they were broken as it said Cum instead of Speed Up on speed 3 instead of speed 5. Which resulted in players thinking they were stuck in a loop.

Honestly? It didnt for once. That isnt to say we've interacted before and you were rude. Its just usually the responses on here tend to be OVERLY defensive or aggressive. That response that you gave me? It was explanitory, polite, and detailed. I can respect that. I probably wont play your game because I couldnt bring myself to watch season two onwards and cant call myself a fan. Nor do I particularly appreciate locking out content if you use a specific name or bumping up the titty size of specific characters. But, as I said you were exceptionally polite in explaining your reasonings for multiple things. So you get a cookie and an upvote. I know upvotes are effectively useless but thats all I can give on here to express my appreciation for the damn decent way you responded. I sincerely hope your game goes spectacularly and everyone loves it my dude. And never let people shittier than me get you down.
It doesn't reality prevent me from progressing the game, It Just stays there... Forever, even if i save and reload the game. I tried going out of the Merc group, going to sleep, going to Battle again and again, i tried to not one-shot enemies to see if that was the reason, but nothing worked.
I Just don't want to be stuck for the rest of the game with a sticker on the top left of the screen that glitch itself in the character's heads
Regarding the Ariel problem; haven't actually gotten her yet [since I have no clue how to due to the guild staff being bugged]. Clicked on her in the guild during night caused the error, since it auto 'go on date' [these doesn't occur during dusk, as there's one choice there -- probably due to it being Sara's time for dating]
btw, seems sleeping with waifu at night doesn't change the day [at least in beta v0.1]
