So, I went to their Patron page to see if there is something that I could glean about that myself. I was wondering if there was something that they were keeping to only those users whom pay them monthly. Since there is a lot (and I mean a lot almost to the point of hammering it over our heads amount) of promotion to their Patron. What I saw was them talking about SoH 09 back in Feb then they were talking about .4, so I have no idea.. And to the Dev of this game, please PLEASE make things less all over the place and more streamlined. Because it is really hard to figure out anything with the game.
It's very sad to see a good idea have a bad implementation.
I stand by my opinion that I expressed at the beginning of this thread.
1) Poor image quality. Guys, make the resolution of the screenshots in HS full HD.
2) Don't add something to the game that hasn't even been implemented yet in the early stages. It's very unnerving to bump into stubs every step of the way. It overloads the game too much.
3) Work on the GUI. Right now it's not very pleasant. Check out the other VNs on this site and take an example from them. No need to make it super contrived, just make it lighter and more userfriendly.
4) Grammar. As I understand it, English is not your first language. Therefore, I strongly recommend finding an interpreter (you can do it even on this forum, and for free).
5) THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! The technical part. Such a feeling that you yourself have not played your game. A lot of bugs and glitches. Either go through all the logic of the code, or do everything from scratch. Now we have illogical change of time of day, teleportation between different locations during the conversation, looping dialogs, string search errors in rpy.
6) I hope you use IP and IK. If not, it will be another one-type game with standard animations from HS. This is not cool.

I agree with a lot of this. I had mentioned also previously that adding all the stuff you "could" do kind of makes it annoying to click on when you are greeted with "Next Update" for pretty much everything. As well as I agree with the UI/GUI issues you are having as well. It is very clunky and all over the place. There was no way to leave one of the girls rooms when you entered. With the bugs and such I believe I also had made mention to them about the switching of characters when you are talking to them in the school it self. That happened still.
So to expand further on what I said previously and what the other poster is saying.
-Please test the game either by yourself, close friends whom know you are making this, and/or by the patron supporters that you do have.
-There are quite a few discords out there that I have joined myself with a TON of developers whom may help you out with the ins and outs of making a VN.
-Remove the parts that are under development because at this stage in the game's early life it is making it feel clunky and (to me) makes the game feel like a vacant shopping center because you can see where things were supposed to be but you can not enjoy it because they are not available.
Before I venture further, I would like to say that neither myself or the poster that I quoted are trying to attack or belittle you. In fact from what it sounds like from the other poster, we both want you and this game to succeed.
I would like to suggest before you post an update for the game. Take time with it because playing it again with the .4 update from the .3 I could tell very little in difference. So much that I would have considered it to be a 0.3.1 update. No one wants you to fail here and I really hope this game can make it off the ground and be exactly what you want it to be and more!
Be safe and Be awesome!
