I tend to agree with Elleo here. While the new update adds some new dialogue to the earlier part of the game. I'm still not completely satisfied with the writing. Thus, I foresee having to go back and correct grammatical errors and I do have plans to do a few more adjustments during the early part of the game. I feel like this would be a pain in the ass for someone translating to keep track of. I would be open once it's done to people translating it thoughActually you don't need a walkthrough at the moment,
since it is currently --> too linear.
A german translation is not necessary for the game, I think that if the game is finished at some point, maybe you could do it.
just my opinion. ^^
Wow, dude..."thank you" doesn't say enough in response to your comments. I appreciate the time you took and your thoughtful reactions to, well, pretty much fucking everything.@Aaryn Thanks for the insight. You are right, there is a lot of grind-based adult games, but I prefer your version of simple grind rather than spending all day on a point-based system in order to get a second event with a character for those games that have 17 characters to choose from. An extreme example, but not a far-fetched one. Your take on grind wasn't bad because it progressed the story-line, inch by inch. For example, when you attended class for a while you finally find the janitor like in real life. It didn't take 20 points with some sister character just to get her to point the MC in the right direction. Also, I loved the inclusion of randomized dialogue. When Braden (I keep calling him Brandon, but now I know that's wrong, LoL!) started talking about watching the show with his grandma who died, I was all like, "Aww, lets cuddle while you tell me more about your dead grandma!" Horribly of me, yes, but I meant it in the nicest way. The progression is fine without the grind. Honestly, I was on the game for longer without the grind just to see most of what the characters would say in different events.
As for the "corruption", I don't think the MC is doing much "corrupting" as is, LoL! He's making Braden feel more and more comfortable around him. That is the best version of "corruption" to me. Just being a genuine and honest guy. As the MC in the story, you made it so that sort of honesty and likability pays off and that being a creeper makes the MC feel guilty. For example, when Braden complains about it being too cold, the MC starts his quest to get the heat fixed. Which leads to finding the janitor. The reward is the Braden is thankful for your quickness of trying to make the new and strange place more comfortable to him and now he feels comfortable enough to take off his clothes. This evovles to working with the janitor, and then discovering more about Braden as you learn about his wanting to join the wrestling team. Progression ---> Grind. Any and Every day of the week.
I can't wait to see more. Wish I had extra cash to throw at you, but life is very unfair. Your game has much more heart and soul than most. I can feel it through the way the characters speak to one another, slowly opening themselves to someone they've only just met on their first day of college. (Something I had to go through myself.)
On a sidenote, something I just thought of while typing this, there is a way to give a bit of "naughty", keep a bit of grind, and keep the heart of the game without making the characters feel cheap. You could do "wet dream" progression. As in, when the MC falls asleep at night, if he doesn't try anything with Braden, he could have a wet dream about the twink or the janitor or past/future characters. How far it goes in the dream is determined by how comfortable that character is with you in real time. Example, if Braden is willing to kiss you or let you touch him, that means your getting pretty close to those things in the gameplay. The way to progression the scene to complete nakedness would be to make Braden comfortable enough in real life to be completely naked in front of you. This would allow for replay of sex scenes while all being in the MC's head. Just something that struck me, and thought I'd share before I forgot about it.
Take your time, play to your strengths, and keep up the amazing work! I look forward to the next update with much interest.
Hey Leotwo,It's an amazing game!
I identify a lot with the characters. Zack is a lot like me (mainly divergence is course choice haha) and Braden is a perfect eye candy. About the grind, on grind times I was ok with it, when it was gone I didn't miss it.
The writing is so so so good, as everyone said lol the visual part is really good too.
Keep up with the amazing work!!
v0.51 Public Release coming today or tomorrow, right?
Heya. No, It's pretty tame. Some have described it as more "romantic" then "porn" because of the dialogue and interactions between the characters. While this wasn't my original vision, I can't really argue with it because it is kinda going in that direction. It's pretty tame and probably won't have serious domination stuff because that's not really my thing. However, as things heat up, characters may take the "lead" in interactions if that makes sense. I'll talk more about this in the futureLooks cool, might just recommend this to my bro, does this have bad boy/ sub dude dynamics?
Cool, always nice to see some diversity in this industry, good luck!Heya. No, It's pretty tame.

Thanks and thanks for stopping byCool, always nice to see some diversity in this industry, good luck!
Hey RisadaJust to say that i'm impressed at the quality of the game vibe. It managed to stay in the fine line between romantic content and erotic content, which i must say, is a remarkable accomplishment. I do hope you can continue to surprise with the quality of the updates
I agree with you, but sometimes developers, writters (and why not say fans) tend to forget the importance of romance.Hey Risada
Thanks for checking in and taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you appreciate that line I'm walking. Things will heat up before long but I feel like that line is important because it's a necessary step in most relationships. Since these games are fantasy...seems like it needs to be there. Much more to come
Agreed. I guess it really depends on the vision of the game or even the purpose of the player playing it. Like, I never envisioned a player booting up a game with cock in hand. I like the slow building arousal. Meeting the character and then slowly finding yourself drawn in at the same time as the MC. It's funny...I never envisioned this game as a romance but it really is sorta writing itself in that direction...maybe I should bite the bullet and add the tag of "romance" since others are feeling the same way.I agree with you, but sometimes developers, writters (and why not say fans) tend to forget the importance of romance.
This is one of those comments that I appreciate more than I probably should. Seriously, thanks for taking the time to check in even though the content isn't your thing. If you're not into dudes, I probably would have tried to talk you out of playing it in the first place. At this point, it seems more "bromance" than anything but there's still bare butts and pee pees. But you're right, there is a lack of gay content. Hoping others will jump on the bandwagon. It's a lot of work to do one of these but it's actually kinda fun.Good luck with your game. It's nice to see some fully gay content. It's not my thing so I can't offer a critique since I haven't played the game but lack of gay content has been a glaring gap in the content for visual novels.
