Good morning. I had the mod update basically done with all the new features late last night but thought it best to get a bit of rest and review before pushing out the public update. I'm kinda glad I did now. I missed some opportunities that needed to be revised in previous choices. An example is during the "Bella" shopping trip. Notice choice #1 is the only way to be awarded a newly introduced event variable in Ch4:

Due to a few of these I'm going to delay the mod update release by a few hours to review all the variables again, just to make sure. Anyway, that's the latest SanchoMod progress update. I think some of you are going to really like the character renaming feature and I'll add more cheats as VN development continues. Regards.

Here's another likely big "gotcha" for later. Note second choice. "ZaraFavor" could be quite important in the future... who knows:

This is my honest review after playing Ch4.

The Maple leaf transition sucks big time. It literally kills the mood and is just super weird.

I was mind-blown to see how amazing and real the tears looked. It is one of the most difficult things to make but Ocean pulled it off really well. :geek:

Some music was replaced in the previous chapters which is really sad since they fit the scenes really well.

The update was really nice and I was expecting a big disappointment in DnG but it was actually good. It kinda felt short :p

So.... me taking 2 days to update SanchoMod is no biggie then I presume? :ROFLMAO: Guess there's plenty of time for me to code in even more features. It's becoming a true beast.

i love this game and wiab but whenever a dev decides to rework a game 90% of the time its just abandoned, and this devs reworking both his games, yikes.
The game will probably be reworked the entire while it's being developed, as Summer's hardware ceiling and drawing ability increases and the game continues to rise in terms of graphics quality. Personally I wouldn't mind a bit of consistency myself, but I'm not about to say no to quality renders.

You said it yourself and now the beast is in the bag.
When did you have time to sleep? Or did you just faint for a sec and: "Saddle up" again?

I stopped at 0300 hours early this morning when I realized I was too tired to properly integrity check. Got up at 0700 hours, mad a pot of Joe and got back to it. I found one issue in SanchoGallery so made that fix and now going back through bench testing. If that passes (and it should this time) then I'll deploy shortly.

Thanks to everyone for the patience and understanding. I've added a tone of new features and tweaks, so coding it all proper as folks have come to expect from SanchoMod simply takes time. The Core truly is a beast at this point. Regards.

As a player of adult VN's i usualy skip most dialogue for the good stuff but this game is very immersive with story with beautiful graphics so far my only issue is, while it is reworked if possible to give players a feature to configure reletionships between characters (roommate/sister...etc).
It may also help with confusions caused by 3rd party patching (incest patch/wt mod).


Keep up the good work,Have a nice one.
