not with LIs, i think it's more fuckbuddies.

He's also not going to end the game with a romantic relationship with them, so it's still something I'd rather not happen.

you lost me, either you want harem or don't, i'd say only 2 whom (not-LIs) need to fuck to advance on story, rest LI candidates are totally optional to start relationship except gf.

I prefer harem games. In fact, in general, they are the ones that I play since it is difficult to find one that isn't and meets the criteria that I have.

For a non-harem game to interest me, the following elements must come together: I only have to be interested (or be much more interested than the rest) in one of all the LIs and that I can only have sex scenes and a romantic relationship with her. The first one is unlikely to happen, but sometimes it does.

This game possibly doesn't meet either of the two.

well harem ended on this update.

 

[YogSothoth1982]

well harem ended on this update.

Actually if I can't finish the game as a harem, I don't consider it one.

In fact, if in a game I have to choose one among all the LIs at some point (even if it's at the end) I don't like to start a relationship with the LIs with that I won't have the ending, so I'll avoid it. Also, as I only see one ending, having multiple savegames for multiple LIs isn't an option.

So, with all due respect, I don't give a damn that I might go down a "harem" route until this latest update.

Yes, that's actually a worthwhile point to consider. Of course, in the case of ATMOSPHERE, I note that there is no "harem" tag anyway. Also, the tags are only supposed to be for current content so a "harem ending" tag could, logically, only be available for a complete game.

However, and especially since the future direction of games is generally hidden inside a spoiler tag in the "Genre" section anyway, a heads up would be nice. A good example is in the OP of Bare Witness, where the dev, without giving too much away, hints that a "full" harem ending will not be possible.

Personally, I'm OK with the turn that ATMOSPHERE has taken, but I can well understand why others might be upset after investing in several characters emotionally.

Does Yui become less obnoxious as the game progresses? She's gorgeous but her extreme jealousy is a big turnoff and she's like that even when I'm focusing on her.
And she kicks you in the nuts several times, I assume not even the femdom girl does that. Wtf?

Well Susan the femdom girl does a lot worse than that!

Re Yui, I don't think her jealousy is extreme, except for a porn game perhaps. The problem is more about the MC. To sample each of the potential LIs, he has to lie through his teeth - and IRL, if you go down that route and manage to come through it with merely a couple of bruised pills, I'd consider yourself lucky.

somewhat but still throws punches on mc.

Here’s are the latest dev news:

• Development status. We're still focused on posing work and this week we completed Yui's morning event while continuing work on Jessie and Phoebe's events. Hope to have it completed next week. Additionally, we purchased some stunning outfits and hot assets for our girls. Trust us, you'll love seeing them in these!
• FAQ. Continuing to answer more frequently asked questions...
  1: What does the "Cheats" setting in the game's Preferences do?
  Answer: The "Cheats" checkbox enables a Harem mode that we're still developing (which is why we don't explain it in the game). The story was originally designed for a straight playthrough with one girl as your love interest. However, we know many players in the VN genre love Harem roots, so we've included this mode for them. This setting disables cross-route choicesfor girls, allowing players to see all content. We're continuously working on it - it's not just a collection of cross lines - it has special dialog lines made especially for this mode. We recommend using it for a second playthrough..
  2: Will you be adding more characters to the game?
  Answer: "Yes, we have plans to add something like that. However, we don't want to discuss it until it's finalized. Please wait a little longer."cheats (for infinite money, change stats, renders etc.)?
• Phoebe's visual polls. Phoebe's visual polls have ended.

Yeah, I kinda call BS here. It doesn't "enable a Harem mode" but rather allows a few menu choice options to become available that might not otherwise be, but that's not the same. And some of the selected choices it was applied to fuck shit up a bit tbh.

Here's one brief example:
Day15 Night (Mirror Apartment) to be able to first kiss Yui the Player must "peep" on her in the shower. Fair enough. If "cheats" is On, even if the Player elects NOT to kiss Yui the Player is forced into that night's bed scene that normally could not occur if the Player didn't kiss her so now her dialogue is all off-base (which throws the Player's choices off course). Now if the Player chooses that he does indeed love Jess (so therefore doesn't get the Yui masturbate scene), because the "cheats" is applied ALL of her going forward dialogue and choices are presented as if the Player did kiss her and did masturbated her. This, again, throws that particular Player completely off course since the cheat is not taking into account any new choices made.

Don't even get me started on the way it fucks up Phoebe's and Monica's routes if the Player goes against the grain yet has "cheats" applied, it's a bit of a fucking mess.

Bottom-line is it's poorly executed and I don't recommend it's use in your primaries. Your playthrough has too high a probability of becoming unstable due to the behind the scenes relp and event var changes that you are not aware of. This is different than a pure "harem" cheat or individual event var, relp cheats. This VN's code is too complex to simply make a few menu choices active due to a one-button cheat to work proper.... imho.

I am happy to see the disclaimer: "We recommend using it for a second playthrough" as it should never be used in your primary runs. Again, imho.

 

[Sancho1969]

Finally, 100% complete thru Ep3(Day20). My intent was to spend a few hours this evening cleaning up my code over a whiskey or two so that I could get a public pre-distribution in your hands to play with but there's already other VN's I have to update as devs push work out this holiday weekend.

Otherwise it's all here: Fully dynamic ChoiceGuide, FreeRoam Guide, MiniGame hints/guides, SanchoGallery, UI options, cheats, auto-saves, etc. Thru Ep3 the gallery has 29 scenes coded in, and have full filter functions. Auto-save not only saves per Episode but also progress. On and on.

There's so much info to give but I'm way too busy right now. I'll do my best to get this fully-tested, bulletproof mod out to you quickly. If I push it public it'll force me to finish Ep4's two days and be done... that's the plan anyway.

Hello friends, I have the same story, after the morning scene of 21 days, it immediately throws you into a parallel world. Then you find yourself at home at night, there are no tasks, there is no way to sleep. After turning off everything possible in the settings, Monica's room got two renders that weren't there before. Obviously some kind of bug, maybe someone will tell you how to end this day. Thanks in advance.

Same here. How did everyone get around this?

Yeah - I'd say it's a bug but I finally worked out how to avoid it.

Unfortunately, I had to got right back to the end of Day 16! As the MC is lying in bed making decisions, for Susan don't choose: "I don't like this game. I wan't to end the relationship." Now, when you have the scene with Phoebe in the morning of Day 21, and get a message from Susan, you will get a choice of how to spend the day. As far as I can tell, any of the three options will work.

There may have been a previous bug that's no longer there, but there is certainly a Day21 bug, no doubt.

With v0.4 P2 the Player MUST be on either or both Phoebe/Susan routes to progress. There's no other way without the dev or me fixing it.

Why? Well I'll elaborate. When the dev wrote P1 (Day21) the free roam DayNotes list is filled with only elective tasks (in this case routes that the Player could previously choose to be on or not) and didn't place in a single mandatory base task (in which the Player would have no other previous way to elect it's possibility, such as standard story progression).

The code for the list creation:

Spoiler: Code inside

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Now, for any one in-game "Day" to set as "complete" so the end free roam button populates , a function is called to check if all the required tasks are completed:

Spoiler: Code inside

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If the Player is not on either or both the Phoebe or Susan routes then the DayNotes list is empty (not populated). In the above function if the DayNotes is empty or a task is otherwise not completed (verified by another NoteState check function) it returns False which means no moon icon end free roam option. This is also the case with the dev's CheckAllNotes function which works in a very similar way to either progress to the next day or end the episode for the current update.

I'm at odds here since any fix I make will almost certainly be different than what the dev chooses (although it would work). This is not a scenario type I prefer to fix "bugs" tbh. It's best if the dev is notified so a proper fix can be made the way the team sees fit in their own coding format and fashion. That said I'm going to temp fix it regardless so I can continue testing and finishing the mod.

Regards.

Note: This wall of text is mostly to assist the dev team should they wish to take this analysis into account to more efficiently find and correct the error.

Thank you for your wonderful work, I hope that the developer will pay attention to this and the next update will please all of us with a great balance in the plot. We are also waiting for your wonderful work on other games, thanks again, good health and good luck .

Hi, everyone!
Latest development news:

• Development status. We're reaching the final stages of the first event, with just a little bit left to do. This event has turned out to be extensive and diverse. It's extensive because we've created different variations of morning events with Amy, Yui, Phoebe, and Jessie, catering to all the possible endings from the previous update.
  
  In total, we've produced over 700 HQ renders and 12 animations for this first event. We've also added 2 additional animations for scenes involving Amy, as well as 2 bonus animations for a part of Yui's event.
  
  Today, we're focusing on adding the finishing touches to the posing for Phoebe's scene, and once that is done, we'll immediately move on to the next major event featuring Monica and Phoebe.
• FAQ. Some more popular answers...
  
  1: Many players have been asking why the first event with Amy (the movie theater scene) is missing from the latest update.
  
  Answer: The reason behind this is our commitment to listening to player feedback. Originally, Amy was intended to be a secondary character with a limited role. However, due to her overwhelming popularity and attachment among players, we made the decision to integrate her into the main storyline. In order to ensure a seamless and organic narrative, we have made changes and additions to certain events that took place during the first 17 days.
  
  We also made some improvements to Amy's appearance. We enhanced her figure, textures, and added finer details. We put in a lot of time and effort to present the Amy that was involved in the events of day 22.
  
  2: When can we expect the updated branch of Amy's storyline?
  
  Answer: We primarily focus on working on the next update, but we allocate 30% of our development backlog to reworking previous scenes and events. At the moment, we have the script for the revamped movie theater event and the script for two additional events. Make sure to stay updated with our announcements, as we will inform you when these events will be added to the game.

Thank you for this. I will try again and begrudgingly jump on Phoebe’s path.
