Il2cpp is not an encryption.
I'll explain this in a way that is very easy to understand but simplifying means it is not 100% accurate to the truth.
Imagine you write in easy to understand C# language.
What il2cpp does is turn your code into C++ before turning it into binary code. That's right, binary. 1 and 0's. Natural language of computers.
Good luck modding that shit.
Ofcourse there are "tools" to convert all that shit back into somewhat readable C# but it is kind of inaccurate and that is not really friendly to amateur modders who just want to write basic C# gameplay mods using bepinex framework.
That is the primary reason why games using il2cpp backend are getting very few mods. Most games that use il2cpp never get any mod, at all. Everyone should consider themselves lucky if this game ever gets 10+ mods made for it.
I was trying to simplifying things .w.
But yeah, I know it can be hard but modding can be possible, decompiling the files is going to take some effort but can be done as it has be done before, not saying that would be easy. That being said, Screw This Noise wrote and article about this a year ago, is mostly a letter for Illusion but they are dead and I bet IllGames is not going to read it anyway, but it make great points about this topic.

Yes, I was investigating and apparently they use IL2CPP encryption + communication with servers + region locking, all of this I guess it was to prevent the game from being pirated. However, IL2CPP can be decrypted, there are multiple tools for it so it will be a matter of time and when that happen the connection with servers and region locking will be disable, ironically making the pirated version having better performance than the originally (Basically what happen when a game gets Denuvo removed).

Screw This Noise apparently added a locale emulator in the game files btw, that fixes some issues. Also also, the devs released a patch for the game, I don't know what is the changelog.
I don't think the server communication does anything. The game works fine for me without a vpn. There probably isn't even a way to distinguish between a pirated and non-pirated copy

Its because it doesn't distinguish pirated or non pirated copies, is about making connections, I don't think we can't know what it does exactly atm but people have mention giving errors related to internet connection in previous posts.

I've been using STN's temporary upload, once I used the Locale Remulator tool they packed into the [BR] UTILITIES, the game has been running without issue (as far as crashing or unusually long load times go).

Here's the link to their games, they also added the preorder DLC in the SVS folder:

Did they really remove prone bone and legs up missionary? Default doggy gets prone during third stage, but I can't seem to find the default ones. Unless I need her exhausted somehow, but doing it 3 times is not enough unlike HC (unrealistic preformance standards for men these days).

I believe so. I haven't played it just yet, but from all the post I've seen: Everyone, but 1 person has said that the game is actually good/decent enough and will be much better with mods. The only person that said it was bad, said that it was just an animation viewer. I just assumed he's just one of those kinda people, or didn't actually play the game and rushed without any translations at all. I think the only downside someone pointed out was "force" isn't in the game. You can "threaten", but not force. Me personally, I'm fine without it. I'm just glad this game seems to be good.
So far, my unique problem with the current state of the game (I have played less than an hour), is with the transitions between screens. In AA2, it was immediate to transition between maps, here, you have a transition effect that maybe takes you up to 3 seconds to finish. Imagine going from end to end, that's likely 12 seconds top in transitions alone

Maybe I am missing something because the game is in japanese or maybe I'm just playing wrong, but in what way gameplay is better then AA2? After playing for like 4 hours I can only see a bunch of features missing and the only new feature is that lame "blackmail" interaction.
Missing stuff: bully and force interactions, map doesn't have semi-intimate locations (infirmary, toilets, locker rooms), no teacher like position in the roster, no exams and therefore promises before exam, no male voices, no skipping classes.
+ transition between locations mentioned just above.

I still haven't played it yet, but I can see how that would be a problem. Maybe in the future something can be done about it.

Yeah, I tried throwing some of the game libraries and Global-Metadata.dat into IDA Pro and Ghidra to try and have a go at cracking the obfuscation or whatever the hell is going on with this... Ain't no fuckin way that's happening. IL2CPP and/or ILLGAMES can cross-reference my balls.

I've gotten decent verbal comprehension of Japanese after this long in anime hell and can read a bit of it, which definitely makes it SLIGHTLY easier. Still no clue what the game mechanic tutorial pictures say, haven't played with the dialogue options translated yet. It's kind of funny to try and remember what the buttons do, walking up to a girl who greets you kindly but you accidentally click the roundhouse kick or the cast voodoo black magic on an entire lineage button instead of a head pat.

I spent way too long on this, what am I doing

The beach changing room and the shrine area in the back off the top of my head EDIT: Unless you mean areas where no one follows you, then yes absolutely I agree

no teacher like position in the roster, no exams and therefore promises before exam, no male voices, no skipping classes.
Why do you expect a school from a game called "Summer Vacation"

Some valid points honestly, but I do feel like in the future, we'll have some DLC that could potentially bring back some of that stuff and expand the Map. I'm not confident on the "adding those features" part, but I do think we'll see a Map expansion. I wouldn't get my hopes up though, as the Map Expansion could very well be disappointing, but I would be perfectly satisfied just having the School be expanded to the amount AA2 had, or more. I doubt the School would get anything new added though and other places will, or new places entirely. Regardless, the more places, the better.

2. God, I miss Butthurt. Seems like they just copy/pasted the jealousy mechanic from AA2. I think we all know what it's like without it, Hell. Don't know if they also copied that one trait, submissive or something. The one that let's you get forced/force other people into doing stuff. Except I got forced into a master/slave relationship without even doing anything. I was the slave. C'mon man...
What do you mean by master/slave relationship? There is no force interaction in the game.

been playing for few hours.

the game looks & move better then AA2, that's about it.

its shallow and feels empty in term of content & locations compared to AA2.
not enough kinks or milf, its just a boring vanilla porn nonsense.

i liked the forbidden teacher/student relationship themes in AA2 which was a nice evolution from AA1.
i wanted something similar like a family/step family/in law family system in the CC.

sure there's a half-baked NTR/blackmail themes and 3some but i still feel like its not enough.

Yes, I mean areas where no one follows you. It's slightly more complicated then just no follow, but yes, those.

I said teacher LIKE position. It doesn't have to be a teacher.

Basically dialogues have been expanded a lot, there more interactions, also more reactions to player actions, there are more positions and dialogue lines for each sexual interaction while being performed.

I also mention same issues, some of them can be fixed in short term; Balance, weird editor proportions, AI adjustments, missing configuration options and such. The long term fixes will be a map expansion, more characters and content in general.

I mean, basically what I said in my review; Once the devs fix all the release issues, this will be a decent game but what would make it even better will be more content in the long term but that is more uncertain at the moment.

By the way, I didn't mention the absent of bullying and such because I didn't use those mechanics on AA2 so is valid for you to complaint.
