Ah, yes, I know — it can be annoying, haha, I admit! But hey, that message only shows up at the start of the game. I swear it wasn’t supposed to pop up 43 times! (At least, I hope not… maybe 10 times? Who knows?)
Anyway, it was recently removed because we’re almost done with the prologue rework! Sorry for the confusion. I just wanted to prevent people from complaining again about the prologue renders or the MC’s appearance… because, trust me, replying to every single comment about that can get very exhausting. Believe me: if I got a coin every time someone complained, I’d already have funded a whole new project.
Whenever we release a new version, we release it with all languages.
Of course, some translations still need a bit of polishing, but players usually help by reporting translation errors as they play.

If you're playing in Free-roam mode, the hints are enough to guide you to the necessary actions, like when you need to go to Norah’s house.
Free actions will be our next priority. Right now, we’re finishing the prologue rework and working on releasing story updates that help justify some of the Free-roam actions.
While in Free-roam, there’s a way to check if there are still activities left or if you’ve already visited all available locations. Below, you’ll find some screenshots showing how to find that information.

Yeah, I got it. Actually, I was already at Norah's house and was fast-forwarding time. The new scene triggered when I clicked Norah's House on the map.
This might be a point for improvement — events are triggered only in specific spots within a location, and I think I haven't made that clear enough. Usually, events are activated at the entrance of each area.
Perhaps I can improve this to make things clearer for players.

Yes, I agree that considering the time, we should have made more progress. But, unfortunately, we hit our limit a long time ago — and honestly, we’ve been pushing well beyond it. We’re working hard and doing everything within our capabilities. The first year was incredibly challenging: so much to learn, a lack of financial resources to deliver something better, and a lot of criticism that made us rethink several aspects of the game. But we managed to push through.
My wife and I work around 15 hours a day. I work a bit more because I also have to keep a regular job outside the game development to pay our bills, so I end up working around 17 hours a day.
At a certain point in the game, we decided to create a render for each dialogue block — and that's not something we plan to change. It allows us to truly capture emotions, unique expressions, and overall, it’s just really cool. We do about 350 renders per version/month, which is quite a high number compared to many other projects.
We’ve been working on this for exactly 3 years and 5 months. During that time, we took out two bank loans of around $3,000 each to upgrade our PCs — which we finally finished paying off at the end of last year, thanks to our generous patrons who stuck with us. That financial help allowed us to make a huge quality leap. To give you an idea, when we took out those loans, we couldn’t even afford to pay our electricity bill.
Here are some stats:
- Around 7,600 renders
- Approximately 6,717 dialogue blocks (with an average of 12.2 words and 68 characters per block)
- 81,884 words
Please understand — I’m just sharing data here, I’m not trying to argue with you. I fully agree with your points and I wish we could do more. But for now, we simply can’t. That said, I really hope we’ll be able to improve in the future.
I dream of having the financial resources to hire people who can work at our pace, people who love Our Home as much as we do, who know the story inside out, and who can help us maintain the game’s vision without losing focus.
I'm quite satisfied that we’re making financial progress. It’s a step in the right direction toward increasing the size of our releases.
That’s definitely on our minds, and we’ll keep trying!
Thank you for your words.

I had a hard time trying to structure my thoughts around your review… so, unfortunately, I won’t be able to help you much. To be honest, I didn’t even consider it a review.
What I can say about the start of the game is this:https://f95zone.to/threads/our-home-v2-20-0-old-hiccup.87718/post-15850149
Regarding the dust effect, you can disable it in the settings menu — it’s an optional feature.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
