There is someone on discord who currently does french translation, they are done up to end of volume 2 as far as I know.

Didn't know that, thanks. But above all i was refering to french dialogue in chapter 50, it doesn't match the quality of the global writing (and it's totally understandable, even as a native french, i know this language can be a piece of work).

I have a technical question about the latest update after replaying it a bit, I doubt I'll get an answer but I'll post my question anyway in case someone who knows sees it.

¿Why doesn't Diary have voice lines in the finale of this arc?

All of Cro pieces got voice lines; Sarah, Kieran, Cro, yet Diary who is a piece of Sarah (and therefore a piece of Cro too) didn't got any. This became more confusing when I replayed the part where Sarah and Kieran went to the park to talk about Kieran's new condition and then suddenly Diary appears and talks to Kieran about being sisters, at witch Kieran gets confused and tells Sarah that she heard her voice coming from the opposite direction. So this confirms that Diary doesn't just have Sarah's appearance but also her same voice, and Sarah already has voice lines in the finale of the arc so ¿why don't do the same for Diary?.

¿Was it a money thing?, ¿Mayby it wasn't worth it since she is a very secondary character that doesn't even appear in the final confrontation?, ¿was it to avoid confusion?. That last one I doubt since this AV is confusing already as it is.

I'm just curious what the technical reason for that was, even if it's something stupid.

Not making VA do too much work and probably time constraints. Keep in mind, Sarah, Cro and Kieran are all voiced by the same VA (for a reason that should be obvious now after this chapter). Because of some situation it was only recorded a few days before release and update was already delayed because I couldn't edit nearly 750 voice lines in this update in time. Even with 24 hour delay and pulling all nighter only finished few hours before release.

You guys forgot that Diary is not a Cro, she literally tells you that she was a flower fae that Sarah picked and with time she started to look like her.
Dont worry, Anon is more than ready to give Ally even more work...
and not only Ally, but.. that's spoilers.

He originally planned to have her voiced.

thanks for the reply, I kind of suspected that their VA was the same with different filters, although I wasn't sure since I hadn't actually seen the credits before. Still, I had already guessed that it was the same, what I meant when I said that Diary and Sarah have the same voice was that it wasn't even necessary to make a new voice filter (or whatever it's called) for Diary since she should sound EXACTLY like Sarah. But you already explained why that couldn't be.

Now I'm curious if Diary would get voice lines added in this chapter in future updates just like Sarah had them added to previous chapters later on.

As far as I know Diary is a shard of Sarah that she created from a flower that she took from the ocean. She took care of that flower and eventually she put a shard of herself in it (or made her a shard somehow, I don't know how that process works).

She even says in game that she sent pieces of herself to collect everyone when they were scattered in their search for Hebe, and that the piece that she send to get Kieran was Diary.

Hope the side girls will get some love this year. They could really use some CJ to relax.

can someone give me full save plss

 

[justonemore20]

Sometimes I replay specific parts of games or AVNs that I played before, and this one is not exception. But in this one specifically every time I replay a part of it I notice something that either foreshadows something that now I know what it was, or shows something that makes this game confusing and seems like a plot hole, but because this AVN is hell of confusing as it is and tends to explain things 30 chapters later I don't usually consider them plot holes until they are proven to be.

Now, ¿Why I'm writing this then?, because I found one of those that I don't know if it's a plot hole or not and it's a pretty old one at that. So, I will explain what I remember about the rules for this one and hope someone here actually knows the answer.

I feel like the author either forgot their own rule or changed it at some point and never explained how it changed.

I have two suspicions here.

I'm on my own replay at the moment, and it keeps striking me how many things are introduced so early--and how many of them are yet unexplained. With the "real" story only beginning now, there's still a lot to be unraveled.

Haha, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

When I set out to make this particularly strange brand of smut, from day 1 I wanted it to be for your heart-boner as much as for what's in your pants.

Sorry about the following wall of text, I think you brought up a really good point.

You're right that it's a bit of a slow burn as far as h-content goes but that's for two important reasons and I think you'll understand why:

1) I want the first h-event for each girl to be very significant both emotionally and in terms of their plot. Part of that is building tension until it's ready to explode, but another is to make it as impactful on the reader as possible.

Some of my absolutely favorite VNs have some pretty god awful sex scenes that feel like they're complete after thoughts, forced upon the creators by their producers (*Cough* Muv Luv *Cough*). That's something I really want to avoid by making the physical intimacy a key part of the relationship between those characters.

The only downside is that takes some establishing to make work, thus the apparent dry spell of h-content. If you've played Chapter 15, the ending scene with Sarah really shows what I'm trying to do with every girl (in their own unique way, of course).

2) I actually want to tie most of the h-content in the game to the upcoming gameplay mechanics. In the adventure segments and in other places you'll have opportunities to connect to the girls and build your relationships with them as CJ.

Or not.

I want the player to be able to pick and choose what h-content they receive. Want to go full Leah route? Sure.

Want Vic and Ashley? Go for it.

Feel like having the whole harem experience? Absolutely. But I want that to be your choice.

The currently released content is what I would consider "mandatory" content, while each girls arc will be somewhat like a very long, time gated side quest that's rewarding but is ultimately optional.
Because it's mandatory content, I didn't want to start shoving h-content down the players throat lest I contradict that player choice philosophy I just outlined.

Anyway, sorry again for the word vomit. I hope that helped explain everything a bit.



In other news, here's some of what I was working on over the weekend! Dialogue writing is going ahead at a good rate and I made a few more lewds just to keep things interesting.

then is posible to play as JC going full one girl route and avoid playing as the female? just asking

 

[justonemore20]

OK... first I'm gonna answer your question, then I'm gonna write something that I HAVE to say after reading that old post from the author.

1. You can't avoid the parts where you "play" as the girls, but you never actually play as them, you just see their points of view for a little while.

2. No sigle girl routes, this game is mandatory harem.

Now, what I need to say about this:

¡¡HOLY SHIT!!, I didn't know that this post from story anon existed, ¿¡And it was 5 YEARS AGO!?. Wow, their original plan has faced serious difficulties from the looks of it. I mean, as far as I know the scene that was shown in those pics isn't even in the game, even after all these years.

You should ignore what was said at the earlier stages of the game. This is basically a visual novel, and it doesn't have real choices for what I know. It can't have them, the whole plot of the game revolves around CJ and the girls being all together (harem or polycule in this case), I can't see any way in which the author could make all we have seen so far optional. And the only choices the game have are basically something like "¿do you want extra content?": "Yes" "No".

The game so far have one small test of what the battle system could be someday in the future, but after that one time, it was never seen again. And the "exploration" is more like an additional content viewer where you decide if you want to see the additional content or just move on with the plot. Story anon decided to focus first in releasing the story and then add the things he said back then like the battle system, or animated sex scenes (just 4 or 5 of them are currently animated), but considering that that's supposed to happen once the story is done and we are halfway through after 5 years I'd say it's gonna take a while to get there (at least the battle system will, the sex scenes are getting animations at random updates, that's why some are already animated).

If you want a really good (but also very confusing and convoluted at times) story focus visual novel then go for it, otherwise...

Oh, and if you want lo leave the game because of something really stupid and weird that happens at the beginning of the game, don't get discouraged from it, it will all make actual sense in time, even the stupidest things in this game are a plot device later on.

That scene is absolutely in the game, it's Jaime being envious of the figures of the other girls.

In what chapter? I tried to look for it with the skip button before commenting but I couldn't find it.

Ok, I take it back, it is in the game, I found it. It had to be one of those "additional contents" from the earlier stages that I did not see because it is attached to a conversation in a specific area. Thanks for correcting me on that one.

 

[jnrcndl]

is there plenty of sex scenes? i love games with great stories no i actually prefer them but i still i want want it to have balance of having a lot of sex scenes

i mean like after progressing the story for a certain character the story would give you a lot of sex scenes with her like in once in a lifetime or eternum

This game is unique in that regard, it focus more on the story and less in the sex. Because of that It's quite common to see an update without sex scenes, unlike most games on this site, which is why there are gaps in the gallery with 3 or 4 chapters between scenes. Also, only a couple of them are animated so far. Animations are being added randomly through the updates.

If you only want to know about quantity there is a decent amount in the gallery, but like I mention before, only a few of them are animated.

Also "a lot of scenes like in eternum" you say... name one character in eternum with more than 4 sex scenes in total.
