I've heard of "death by snu snu"; would this be "death by sniff snu"? If filmed, will it be a "sniff snuff" film?

Hello Patrons!
I just thought I would get on here and post a quick progress update. I hope everyone is doing well. It's been freaking cold here in the Midwest of the US the past few weeks, but it seems it is warming up a little bit now. Well, not warm but average cold temps now.
I got a lot of renders done in the past couple of weeks and finished the scene I was working on. I've been trying hard to get a lot done. The scene turned out great but ended up being a lot bigger than planned and took more time than I thought it would. I have no regrets, though. As a result, this update may be bigger and take longer than I initially planned. I will talk more about that later as I progress further into the update.
I think what's important is that I am creating the update that I imagined in my head, and I sometimes have to go with the flow and not rush the story and add in little things here and there. That's what I have been doing with every episode, and I think my best scenes and ideas come from letting my vision come to light and being flexible about it. If that makes any sense. I think I am just blabbing on at this point, but whatever, lmao!
At this point, I have over 1200+ renders and 47 animations finished. I've done over 200 renders and 15 animations in the past two weeks. For the past month or two, I've been making up a lot of ground that was lost in the first month, which was spent writing dialogue, porting assets, and setting up scenes where no renders/animations were created at the beginning of ep8 development. It's been about 4 months since I started creating renders and animations. So we're making progress at a faster rate now. I guess that's all I have for now. I hope you all have a pleasant day or night.

I have very low expectations for this sort of games. But this one was surprisingly well written, and it was actually exciting to play through! Give it a go, if you are not a lazy reader
Can someone send me the link to the game for joiplay with few GB?
8Gb normal is a lot, my cell phone can't handle it

I feel like it is going to be a real missed opportunity if the MC isn't his own father by the end of the story.

It umm would be interesting. But the question is who will be the mom/wife of MC? Since Ripples's kinda harem game, we can't have one candidate lol besides this situation may be considered as incest. So I'm not sure Patreon will like this idea.

His mother is not in question, though. I'm sure they know who he squirted out of. His sister is only a half-sister, so she should be fair game?

I'm not sure we can really talk about a "missed opportunity" here. For me, it's more of a cliché and a fairly classic fantasy in time travel scenarios and timelines altered by the protagonists' actions. I'm not sure it's a good thing, unless the plot justifies it well, because when you start messing with timelines and playing with time loops, there's a risk of narrative inconsistencies that could lead to completely illogical situations and ruin a fairly good story. This is one of the reasons why I’m a bit apprehensive about what the plot might be promising with these elements.
We'll see where the game wants to take us moving forward. At the moment, I’d say it’s quite likely, though not certain, that the main protagonist is the father of several people in his "present" (hypothetically, the "twins" Alyssa and Alice, and possibly other characters).
I believe Skylar has been mentioned, though this hasn’t really been established yet. In fact, Skylar mentions a "father" in prison (biological father, stepfather, adoptive father ?), convicted for potentially fabricated or manipulated charges, which is unclear. It seems like he's paying for something, maybe it is a scapegoat.
Some have already mentioned it here in this thread, but the protagonist probably had a real father. It seems hard to claim that he is "derived from himself" through an unalterable time loop, because unless the story justifies the existence of parallel plans and realities that one can travel between (so far, only time travel within the same plan/reality is mentioned, with possibly time loops and alterations/disturbances being possible, but to an undetermined degree), there must be someone who is, so to speak, "the origin" of the protagonist in the story.
I believe I remember the masked man telling us that it’s quite difficult and capricious to alter the course of time, and even when modifications or divergences are made, time would try to "correct" what has been altered in order to return to a more or less normal course, meaning the originally intended one. Some things are therefore always destined to happen or be repeated; the path to get there might change, but the outcomes should, in principle, remain the same. At least, the masked man was speaking of these things as established theories, and I think he was talking about wanting to test the limits of these temporal restriction principles.
So nothing is really certain when it comes to what can or cannot be done with time (in the game scenario), nor the extent of certain time alterations and their consequences, whether disastrous or not.
The protagonist's mother, Tiffany, is already pregnant with Jessica during the MC’s first trip to the past (this is first implied, then mentioned in a conversation with the man wearing a mask). However, the MC and Jessica might not share the same biological father (someone in the thread mentioned that Jessica and the MC don’t share the same biological father, so she would be his half-sister).
So we haven’t yet seen the moment when Tiffany meets and dates the MC’s father, if he indeed exists, which I believe to be the case. It's impossible to know for now; we still haven’t seen the MC’s father in the past, and the story seems to want to keep some mystery around him (whether to confirm or deny this theory of some, or for some other reason, such as simply playing with our expectations).
I know some have also pointed out the physical resemblance between the father and his son, but this is a weak argument, especially since it’s hard to distinguish the protagonist’s physical appearance. Furthermore, it’s not far-fetched for a son to resemble his biological father—it's actually quite ordinary, though not always the case (I know that certain physiological features can skip several ascendants from a line for example).
So, I'm not really in favor of the theory that the MC is his own biological father; the elements pointing in that direction are not numerous enough, nor very conclusive.
I'm also interested in some hypotheses surrounding the scenario, particularly those involving the "time travelers." We've seen some rather crazy scientists kidnapping young women to test their time travel machine, claiming they were sending them "far away" in an quite enigmatic way.
A necklace featuring a kind of purple amethyst, which seems to glow and have strange properties (a warm, shiny, unusual mineral), appears several times. Darci's mother, Gabby, wore such a necklace when she was kidnapped and strapped to the machine, and April is said to have given a similar necklace to her sister Scarlett before she lost it, and our protagonist later recovered it during one of his trips to the past.
The necklace and/or the amethyst seem to play some role in time travel ? Perhaps a form of energy receptacle, a catalyst, or something like that ?
As the story progresses, we discover more time travelers: the MC, Darci (she travels with MC but also seems to have a double 'alter ego' capable of traveling, the "shit-ninja" Darci is seen in both 2019 and 1999), April (according to what she tells the MC, she travels to a certain point in the future for her and discovers the existence of her nieces Alyssa and Alice), and Skylar maybe ?
I think Skylar has gone through a series of very special events and revelations, and it’s possible that, during her absence, she traveled through time (likely a fortunate discovery), learning significant things about the role of the MC in everything that’s happening. Not only did she likely learn things from her interactions with Luna, her mother, but also from other people, whether it's the faction helping the MC or the "villains." Skylar disappears and reappears just as suddenly, without giving us very clear explanations.
She speaks in a cryptic and mysterious way. She says she went very far, lived through or encountered many difficult things, and learned things, particularly about the MC (Skylar says he is someone special, and she seems to talk about a "hero" when they have their romantic night under the moon, gazing at him).
I get the impression that she’s not really surprised when she finds the Lou's Cafe menu in the MC's room, almost as if it confirms something she already suspected or knew. She pauses in silence and gives an enigmatic look that seems to say, "I know everything", before recomposing herself and resuming the conversation pretending to know nothing.
Some things don’t quite match up with the absence and the cryptic circumstances she alludes to with the protagonist. She says she went to a "very distant" place (an isolated forest with no phone coverage i think) and was alone, with no contact, and was supposed to have disappeared for only a week or so in 2019. However, it seems she had contact with others, learned things, and even got new tattoos, which should have taken several days of work.
The MC seems to notice something is off with the length of her absence and what she describes, which could be an indication that she traveled through time and might have actually been gone for much longer. There’s also that thing with Skylar’s text message, which is pretty strange—was it just a simple mistake, as she claims (or was it a message asking for help, as the MC thought he read) ?
Skylar also seems to be someone a bit special—perhaps she’s a psychic too, like her mother Luna (or maybe it's just cold reading, a "mentalist" trick). She tells the MC that she can read minds, but it’s hard to say if this is serious thing or not (she’s more or less wrong once, but still manages to understand the MC's intentions, even when she's wrong).
There’s also something unusual about Lizzie. It might be nothing, but it struck me as odd that the MC didn’t know anything about their friendship before Skylar’s return. However, the MC didn’t hang out with Lizzie outside of class, and she hasn’t been living in Riverside for long, according to her own words. Skylar wasn’t someone the MC seemed to be close to before their recent romantic relationship.
The MC initially describes Skylar as just a friend of his sister Jessica, whom he sees occasionally when the two are together. This makes me wonder about Lizzie—could she be someone special ? We don’t know much about her either. She’s very close to Skylar, but strangely, the MC didn’t know they were close before their romantic evening together.
She seems to have a troubled and mysterious past, and Lizzie reveals she’s older than her classmates (we didn’t have her profile or age in the phone contacts, for reference). Ultimately, I don’t have enough to judge Lizzie, but I notice that she and Skylar share some similarities: friendship, difficult lives, common circonstances and shared past (recently ? Time travel and meeting during that journey ?), both love tattoos, and both like girls (Skylar says she’s bi-curious, Lizzie says she prefers women and had an ex-boyfriend in the past).
Sorry for the very, very long post, which no one will probably read, and for things that have probably already been said by others x)

This makes me think that we don't really know how the question of the harem will be handled, or even if it will be addressed at all in the game. Perhaps it will just be a secondary element, or maybe it will only appear in an ending or alternative ending, with a few LIs considered as main ones.It umm would be interesting. But the question is who will be the mom/wife of MC? Since Ripples's kinda harem game, we can't have one candidate lol besides this situation may be considered as incest. So I'm not sure Patreon will like this idea.
As of now, I don't feel like the harem is a central theme in the game's story, and none of the LIs seem to really talk about it or make any clear reference to it (there are some jokes and winks in the story, like with Brad, but the game don't go further than that).
What we do know is that some girls are tolerant and open to the idea that the MC dates/or have sex with other people, as long as they are close friends of theirs, at least for some of them. It's possible that the LIs are aware that the MC is seeing multiple girls, but choose to ignore it or not be bothered by it.
It’s also possible that the developer simply decided not to tackle this theme, because they’re unsure of how to integrate it coherently into the story without falling into inconsistencies, plot conveniences, or sacrificing a certain level of plausibility—which is already a challenge in itself, especially when dealing with complex concepts like time travel, time loops, space-time continuums, and time alterations, etc.
Otherwise, I honestly don’t know how the dev will manage to conclude the game, whether it’s with the scenario (like time traval paradoxes), the numerous LIs the MC dates or will date in the future, and the fact that, whether with the incest patch into the game or not, many of these (and possibly others) are clearly related to the protagonist (in terms of logic sense and scenario wise), even if someone squint his eyes and pretend not to see it. ^^
No problem, I realized it when I noticed the length of my post even before I finished writing it. I just thought, oh well, it’s not a big deal, passion and theorycrafting speak for themselves

I just remembered something that’s been bugging me about a girl in the game, Dani. I believe Dani is the one who sends a text message to the MC at the beginning of the game, where someone (an unknown person) asks him to talk about something that apparently happened between them.
During two conversations, one in the lingerie store and the other in the school bathroom, she alludes to things the protagonist clearly has no memory of or at least doesn’t seem to remember. She also points out that she finds his reactions strange, asking him at one point if he has memory problems or blackouts.
And of course, the MC is pretty surprised to see her aggressively flirting with him in the bathroom, not to mention their pretty bizarre conversation for someone he hasn’t interacted with much up until that point.
My theory (and other people in this thread) is that the MC has a double of himself (like with Darci) or that the effects of a time loop/time travel are at play, which he is still unaware of at this point. In this loop, he will likely act and grow closer to Dani. This would explain the rather strange tone of their conversations, as well as Dani speaking quite freely about her dirty fantasies and attraction to him.

No, MC hasn't been established as being anyone's father yet. However, with the time travel that he's been shown capable of so far, Skylar's the only one he could have fathered (presuming he and 1999 Luna get together, which is IMO all but certain). None of the other girls' ages match. There are ways of dealing with that (maybe he doesn't have to travel in increments of exactly 20 years, maybe he came back a year or two later for some fun, etc.), of course, but they'd take further development in the story.
And, if MC is Skylar's father, that would completely explain 2019 Luna's reaction to meeting him.
