Nice update Fanorase, good idea to switch engines earlier rather than later. I prefer RPGM when it comes to exploring a setting, but at the end of the day it basically does what Renpy does except RPGM takes longer to get to where you need to go. I think the only downside here is that if Kanade is off doing her own thing, it won't feel as fun trying to find her.
My biggest criticism is that the dropdown locations menu at the top left should be visible at all times. Unless there's stuff to click on in the background, the sandbox menu should be available to the player so it cuts down on all the clicking. I'd prefer a map system too, but that might be harder to implement.
Another thing I find weird is the size of Kanade's sprite compared to the other bachelors. She definitely shouldn't be the same height as Tanaka the Incredible Hunk.
I also got two suggestions. Go ahead and ignore them if they don't suit the game's play style. I don't mean to impose.

- I hope you unlock the option to split up from Kanade when school ends. It's nice that she follows you but she could get up to some fun mischief on her own and meet back up with you at night. I imagine you'll probably introduce a cell phone system where she contacts you at work or while you're studying. She could ask too if you want her to hang out with someone specific, or a random "let her choose" option.
- Getting asked every night to fuck or sleep feels kind of robotic, like in the Acerola games. It makes me wish there was a horniness system where Kanade really pushes for sex when she's really horny or hasn't done it in a while, and prefers to sleep if satisfied. Plus with a horniness system you could do more fun stuff like having her be more bold the higher the number is, like she's demanding attention from you. It could make for a fun back and forth between her and the MC. In any case, going home at night needs a little more spice added to it.

I've been off F95 for a few weeks, seeing this converted to Ren'Py is seriously amazing news, I'm downloading it now!!
This one... I like. For AI, the images seem cleaned up pretty well, I don't see any signs of eldritch horror. And while I dislike AI, in the case of a free game, and the dev's own statement that he'd pay an artist if he actually wanted to sell the game in some fashion, then it's hard to argue with. AI should only be used as a filler, and not for profit, indeed. And this game... is close to what I want. I lean hard into the confession, utterly open route, where I'd be very lenient, but very honest, with her. That's something that's so hard to find, since the ratio of NTR to NTS games is HEAVILY in favor of NTR. Ruins of Luxoria is also one I'm fond of, and one of the strongest NTS games out there, only held back by it's art, well, and the typical grind of games in it's engine. OnlyHer I heard is another... but the MC in the prologue pissed me off so much I dropped that, and apparently the dev is AWOL on that one, so probably best I didn't get into it. I love the reclamation, and how buck wild the girl gets during it. She asks permission, gets worried, and reassured that it's our desire, before doing anything. She's slutty, but only for our MC, until he explicitly asks her to fuck others. I like that a lot. I also do enjoy a good gameplay loop, and while this one is utterly basic, I can see the foundation for a lot to be added on. I like to descend into total depravity along with the girl. And author, I dunno if you mentioned it before, but it'd be great if we can get lenient enough that we can even give her the option, to fuck when we're not there. Just have her avatar NOT THERE while we're wandering, and then we come across a scene of her getting fucked elsewhere. I bet that's in the works, but the exploration while trying to find what our slutty gf has gotten up to is a fun treasure hunt... when it's all done with consent anyway, rather than with humiliation tactics. Maybe even have her give a hint beforehand. "I dunno, I might go home early~. Hey, you said that alleyway is a good shortcut, riiiiight? *Wink wink*" Just to give us a hint on where to go to see something good.

I have risen.
I've gotta actually update the main page and everything, shit. Those rpgm screenshots make zero sense now. I'll get on that soon LMAO.
1. Yes.
2. Thank you for reminding me LOL. I did have an idea for this system in place for RPGM, and I just forgot to transfer it over to ren'py. And don't worry. The night section will be much more than what it is now.

I'll fix these up soon. Just uh.. gotta figure out game balancing and shit lmao. It's mostly there as a groundwork for progression atm.
I'm going to try to replicate the feeling in RPGM where you wander around looking for events. This includes finding new guys that you can invite. I'm still figuring out how I'll make that happen, but that's the plan.
The thing about the dropdown locations makes sense. I'll see what I can do with that. Also yeah, see, at the start of the Ren'py remake, I wanted Kanade's sprite to be really prominent. But then I had the idea to make the guys' sprites, and I just didn't adjust it at all LOL. I have just fixed this and a myriad other bugs tonight, so I'll release a small patch/update relatively soon.
1. Yes.

Hey thanks! Glad you liked it. As I say in my post, I'm making this game because of the lack of NTRS games lmao. And yeah, I'm going to do my best to implement a "hide-and-seek" element to the game.
Yep, this is definitely one of the better NTS games out there! Also, the above guy, ohnonottome, had mentioned a map system. I dunno how reachable the dev is, but Inanna's Revenge (same dev who made AlwaysFan) actually HAS a map, it is only used for a short period of the episode, but it was fully functional, and it's also in Ren'Py. Perhaps asking the dev if you can analyze the code used for that part will help, if as ohnonottome predicts, it's a pain to implement? I think you've got it, but I just happened to have played Inanna's Revenge recently, and that came to mind.
Right, you were mentioning bugs, were the automatic kicks to the main menu when you try to click on the dudes at school, once you got all their scenes, an intended feature? It didn't set me back far or anything, I play modded Skyrim and thus save like an absolute maniac, just seemed pretty abrupt.
But overall, you're doing great, just take your time, try not to force yourself. I've seen a lot of devs burn out because they forced themselves. And let us know if we get too demanding, it's easy to be a player of the game and ask for ALL the features. Try to keep your goals realistic, and work at a steady pace.
The switch to ren'py made it literally unplayable, how tf is a gamemaker program so bad that it always crashes before opening the damn game?
Works good for me. I wasn't sure MGFMND would make the switch and would loose what I like about the game.And even though there are an issue or two that I am not sure works. But the game runs well with no probs

Definitely not intentional lmao. AND LOL Yeah, if anyone's ever used a shit ass laptop as their main machine, you have a habit of saving every other minute. Modded skyrim especially kek.

If it crashes you probably have a wrong renpy plugin version, just download them all and check which one can run it
I finally got it working lmao
BTW it'd be great if you can add sex stats and more depraved encounters soon, the ones in game really sets up expectations for what's to come.
And is it just me, or did you remove the option to not use condoms for the sexual encounters? Would you tell us your reasons?
Some repeatable events that change the gf's attitude was also part of the promised charm of the previous version, I really, REALLY liked what you're going for in this game, I hope to see more of it soon, thank you so much for making this!

Glad it's working lol
Sex stats is a maybe, bordering on yes, depending on how I can figure it out. After all this is still my first game and I know jack shit about game balancing and progression LMAO.
I removed the no condom option for story reasons. You'll see relatively soon.
Did i hear no condom option soon as would ghost rider say : hungry....
Thanks a bunch! A shame i really wanted to see no condoms when the update came out... And man, You really are making is starve over that crazy man in the alley encounter huh? It almost feels like some sort of months-long gooning session lmao.
Edit: I just found out my emoji keyboard don't work on this site.
