is anyone else getting the microsoft defender warning or is just mine acting up is this file checked for anything
I see that triggering on nearly everything I download from here lately. I figure it had something to do with staying on Windows 10 past the official expiration date.
edit:
As an actual comment, an incredibly strong first chapter. Characters all feel strong, the MC's mental journey to justify sticking around again felt real. Also a big fan of the creativity in scenes, not having literally everything follow from a mouse-click & the few bits of animation in scenes felt fresh in the sea of basic Renpy VNs.

im fine wit just two girls, but your words are still vague. mc being able to sleep with these two girls means that you actually get them as girlfriends at the same time and not simply friends with benefits?
i do not agree on calling a game where mc fucks multiple girls alone a harem. if these two women are not mcs girls at the same time as some point, then its just harem bait
"these two women are not mcs girls at the same" means that both girls knows whats happening and ok with it

Hey again!
It’s been a couple of days since I last posted, as I’ve been working on Chapter 2. On the side, I also made a patched version of Chapter 1. As I mentioned before, Chapter 1 had a few grammatical and spelling errors, so I went back and fixed those. I also did some minor rewrites in certain scenes, mainly the nighttime scene in Anna’s bedroom and the scene with Laura after the rain.
The main reason for this patch, however, was to improve the experience for mobile players. There were a few missing images and videos in the Android version, so fixing those was my top priority. The links in the OP have also been updated to be the new versions (DATANODES link will come in a few hours)
Win:
Linux:
Mac:
Android:
A little apology for the earlier mistakes with the mobile version. As it turns out, running the Android version on my laptop gives very different results than running it on an actual android device.
See you in a few days for the weekly Chapter 2 updates!
Also, Happy New Years!
Edit: Seems like I am unable to upload the files onto Datanodes, So, I'll be switching to another file host for the fifth option unless the issues can be resolved.
Edit: Datanodes problem has been resolved. Big thanks to the staff of f95zone for their quick response.

If that’s the case, I wouldn’t outright call it a harem game similar to something like waifu academy. The two main girls will be characters you end up sleeping with. Both will eventually learn about the situation and accept what’s happening. However, by the ending, you’ll have to choose one to be with.
Edit:
But who knows if the demand for it is there I might just write up one more ending where you get both of them.

Weekly Update #2
There goes another week. It’s crazy sometimes to think about how much time has passed since Pastelgic was released.
Overall, this week has been a continuation of planning how the story of Chapter 2 will go and where it will end. To start, I’m in the early stages of creating an area that the gang will go to for the farewell dinner that Haruna planned for you. This area uses the previous donut place from Chapter 1 as a base, but it will be altered much more than what’s shown in the picture below when it’s put into the game, to avoid looking like the same place.
Modifying these areas is, I would say, one of the most time consuming parts of development, next to writing the dialogue. CharaStudio isn’t exactly an easy tool to use, and it took a lot of time to properly figure out how things work. Luckily, I don’t have to make everything from scratch thanks to the wonderful efforts of the Koikatsu community, who have created tons of assets and interiors. So far, I’ve been modifying these areas to better suit the story.
Chapter 1 was something that took a good amount of time for me to make, as I wasn’t very well-versed in how to use both Ren’Py and CharaStudio at the time. Another challenge was learning how to create characters. At the start, I made some real monstrosities (that im too ashamed to show) in the Koikatsu engine and even considered giving up, since I couldn’t get the characters to look distinct enough.
Eventually, after looking at characters created by some very talented people, I was able to get a better idea of how to make them look more natural and closer to the art style of a seinen manga, as opposed to the more shounen-esque designs that come as the default in Koikatsu.
Another thing during development was that, as I learned more, I decided to go back and make changes to some of the earlier scenes. This was done to improve the backgrounds and avoid making the exteriors look like nothing but empty voids, as well as to change the lighting and shaders so the scenes didn’t look as flat. Of course, this is still an area that can be improved further in the future.
As I said before, Anna will play a large role in Chapter 2. While I don’t want to spoil too much, she’ll be forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about the time you and her shared in high school. And once the two of you start working through those unresolved feelings, Anna may just find her own way of showing you a certain kind of affection.
It won’t be the end of her arc yet. So don't expect some primal love making in her bedroom. After all winning Annas won't be so easy. This chapter is about tension and laying the groundwork for something much deeper later on. The kind of moment that sticks with you precisely because it’s earned.
I would still say, most of the guys back at East Endale High would’ve killed to get even a fraction of what Anna does for you in Chapter 2.
Also, I’ve decided to make some small changes to these updates. They will now be freely viewable for everyone.
Paid members will receive a separate lewd update that shows off some of the renders for those scene. I should have thought about it more, but locking progress updates behind a fee is a pretty bad idea for people who follow this account for free.
Finally, I want to close things off with a big thank you for following the development of Pastelgic. See you all next week!

Also I wanted to share this little excerpt in the lewds update. So you all can have a better idea of what to expect in the future.

Lost All interest in Anna the second she started saying all the mean things in her drunken stupor. Sad to see her path is forced and leads to a bad end if you don't comfort her. But i will say the overall story is great.

That sounds hot.
But man, I just couldn't get into this game because of those dumb scribbles over the MC's face. I don't know if there's a storyline reason behind it (I didn't play for long) or if this is just your way of hiding his face but it looks ridiculous and ruins the experience for me.

That’s a totally valid reaction. While writing the story I did wonder if Anna's attitude would have come off as unattractive to the player once THAT specific scene comes. Anna is a person I wrote be to somewhat immature and pampered. As the only daughter daughter of a wealthy family, she is someone who is often unable to take accountability for her actions and will just blame other people if something goes wrong.
A big part of the story is her maturing and slowly realizing how awful she was towards the player when they were kids. Along the way she will learn just how special the player is to her.

Story reasons + I wanted to make it easier to self insert by not giving him a face.

Blank faces ended up being used for characters that are not as important to the story like background NPCs and George.
Personally, I think it's a shame for your game; seeing that scribbled face ruins my interest in the game.
