Got a virus warning from this game. Downloaded Windows version from Pixeldrain. Then windows defender quarantined a file it called Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.B!ml. I deleted the game and ran a virus scan and my computer says I'm fine. I forgot to upload and check the file on a site to see if it was real or a false positive.
glad i'm not the only who

Thanks for the heads up.

I just looked into it a bit and it seems these false positives are caused by the custom desktop icons I created for the game, among other things that are not as clear. This is really unfortunate but there's nothing I can do on my end besides removing the custom icons in the next update. This seems to be a Ren'Py issue. I'll keep digging in hope to find a solution.

Ya, it's unfortunate but Windows often doesn't like Ren'Py and causes a lot of false positives. I looked up that specific name and according to a user on Reddit named rainrat posted this comment on many post about it (as it seems to be common) "Phonzy isn't the name of any specific malware. "!ml" means machine learning, which is a system at Microsoft that tries to identify features common to malware. It could be any kind of malware, could be a potentially unwanted program(ie. adware), could be a false positive."

Yeah, I've had my fair share of false positives too on games from other developers. The problem is that many people are not exactly tech savvy and will most likely be turned off by things like that which in turn has a real negative effect on the success of your game. When I read three consecutive posts about anti virus going off, I'd be worried too if I didn't know about false negatives. It's a shame this issue still persists. Anyway, thanks again for letting me and others know!

Can you do a hotfix and remove it to us who want to try the game. I dont know with which frequency you release updates.

I'll take a look at it as soon as I'm back home tonight. You could play it by giving the game permission/exception in your anti virus app or in Windows Defender. But I also understand if you'd prefer not to though.

Yeah, in general I think asking to trust a file on a pirate site, no matter how legit the dev seems, is a tall order. Could be a third party messed with things between the original and f95, so trusting the false negative/fire alarm is the prudent choice. Not your fault, but it'll likely mean fewer downloads for you. I don't believe there are certificates for authenticity to check for each site someone might click on to download. Sometimes the Pixeldrain one might throw up a warning, next time it might be the Megafire or whatnot.

I never had problems this kind with RenPy games...
Also this one is only released to F95zone, not the others - maybe of a reason?

I really look forward to try this, so please clean it up!

If it can help, my antivirus (VirusBarrier on Mac) doesn't find anything wrong with the game, which I've downloaded from Mega (the Windows version, since I run most games through Ren'Py SDK).

Removed the custom desktop icon for now. Please let me know if your anti virus still flags the game as malicious on your system. Thanks in advance!
My Windows did not flag it for any viruses. I also scanned it with Malwarebytes just in case and it said it was fine too. Looks like it was those icons causing the false positive.

Very nice update for 0.12.
The dialogue modifications does smooth out the narrative a bit more if the lesbian path is chosen, making it better known that Summer has always been only into girls but has had trouble fully realizing and accepting it, and it now ready to dive head first into it!
I did notice it in how the dialogue with Cynthia goes as well with the middle options. I appreciate getting down to all the little details!

My second time through also made me really solidify that this group of characters are overall highly enjoyable, and that Lilly is one of my favourite characters in any VN I have played.
She's the perfect combination of goofy, naughty, cute, foul mouthed, sweet, adorable, etc. that makes a very likeable character.
Summer is also very enjoyable as a main character for much the same reasons.
I love the relationship between the two of them in all its aspects and am hungry for more.
Special mention to Yun too, very cute and I like her and Summer together a lot, especially in the role playing.

If you ever decide to open a funding method, I'm there.

Windows says "no prob" and at VirusTotal ( ) only one solution sees a "AiDetect(ed)Malware, so it should be fine.
I'll give your young game a try... sounds really promising.
And many thank's for yours pretty fast hotfix!

Hi FlipDaShit

For a first release, it's a good start!
Summer is an endearing MC.
I like how she's discovering her sexuality, how she is building her self-confidence.
And I like her sens of humor.

Lilly personality is great. I hope that one day she will find a way to stay in the city.

I like how it seems that there will be a way to put Cynthia in her place without a frontal fight.
At least I suppose it will be the case with the model route.

The renders are good.

Also, think you for the lesbian route.

On the (not too) bad points
  1. I have played the 0.12 version, and Cynthia avatar doesn't stop to flash in conversation where she's not here.
  2. I would have like to have a "middle" option with Yun. I'm not a big fan of dom/sub relationship. I just hope there won't be anything to heavy, humiliation and the like. Or that they could be avoidable.
  3. I find the thing with Denise rushed. A teacher jumping on a student after only a couple of days is a bit unbelievable.
But nothing that keep me to enjoy your game.

Finally, I have a couple of questions
  1. How heavy will be the BDSM? Can we avoid it?
  2. There is no harem tag. But Lilly seems OK if we pursue other girls.
    On the long run, do we have to choose one girl, or could we have multiple partners?
  3. Do you have other planned tags?
Overall, I love what I have seen so far.
Can't wait for the next update.
