This is definitely one of the best first releases I’ve seen here, but I’m concerned that having such a big cast will end up being the dev biting off more than he can chew. Even with a large version like this it felt like there were clear tiers of which characters mattered and which could be removed without changing the plot much at all. This is kind of bad IMO considering I’d expect future updates to be smaller which only makes it harder to give all the characters enough screen time. And the dev isn’t stopping at 16 characters and is planning to add more.

Hi,
I just got an error on day 4 when i wanted to message Umiko. I could message all other girls but when i click on Umiko i got an error and a crash. Is it just me?

Edit: I downloaded the bug fix and it works.

applied the bugfix from OP?
think that what it is for

and the tracebackfile helps more than your error description to point the error out ;)

That laptop is perhaps the most crap in this game and then when it’s made so damn slow and it’s still forced. At least it doesn’t bring gaming added value if something is slowed down by force. Then when it is said that it is optional. Shit, I say. If you want to get pictures or look for some fucking hidden buttons, then that's forced. Maybe that could be redesigned or left out altogether and replaced with a cell phone that would be a million times faster and available at any time. At the same time, the pictures could be piled up by doing things with women and not playing that laptop mini-game. For the first two days I tried that laptop mini-game and even those conversations went through them with a macro with a mouse button installed for 10 ms. I tested it with the ctrl button when I couldn't play, so I get 3 pictures if I don't speak a word on the laptop. That is, if that is said to be an option, the game will cut out almost all the sexual material from the porn game if you don’t want to play some fucking laptop mini-game every fucking morning. So this game really isn’t on my playlist.

This could have been a hell of a good game without that fucking forced laptop shit.

Your concerns are unquestionably my biggest challenge, no doubt about it. With that said, there are a few details that make it more manageable, if you wanted to know.

First, every girl has a planned route/direction/story. Being able to follow those paths makes it easier, because the direction provides clarity. Since all girls have routes/plans, there's no big concern from me about them getting enough screen time, as they all will have about the same amount of time.

Secondly, the future updates will make it slightly easier, in some respects. Not from a "render a foursome" complexity - but from "A foursome means that's a scene with 3 girls, and 3 girls getting scene time at once is good."

Still, it's a challenge. Gotta have something to keep me up at night!

I used UNREN and here's the text copied from the day5.rpy script

Side note... Why is it that almost ALL the devs imagine that every man in the world considers a woman's back door to be the ultimate goal? Suffice it to say, with respect to those who believe that wholeheartedly, I do not.

I'm an oddball I suppose.
Especially since these massive chunky asses and bloated boobs just do nothing for me. I mean... Reading lines about how "there's no such thing as too big" is confusing, from my point of view.

So the patch in the original post has been updated many times. Yesterday I fixed that particular issue, so all you need to do is download the patch and replace the scripts.rpa file.

Blake is the default name for the MC, however in this situation I literally just typed it out... haha.

Decent game though I utterly despise the forced laptop crap (it auto opens and is very annoying). It reeks of sandbox trash. That and the various buttons are way too finicky to hit the sweet spots. Seriously all "sandbox elements" will always detract from any game that ever includes them period as it breaks immersion into the story to constantly have to click on extra junk. IMO those aspects are literally the only issue with the game (and apparently a source of bugs). Hope you think their inclusion is worth it dev. Story seems solid.

The laptop is not bad. You guys are just the most impatient dudes in the world.
There's only two minor problems with the laptop feature.
1. The group chat is slow
2. Everything gets reset if--in the middle of messaging--you save and load that save.
