Important news!
Hey, guys! How are you guys doing?
I think it's fair to share this news with you before the end of the month. If you are not satisfied with this, you should cancel your pledges.
As you may have noticed, my game isn't going very well, judging by the presence of patrons, I conclude that the game is boring, the story is boring. I'm always looking at the analysis, comparing it with other games. And I can see that some thrash game is raising more than a thousand bucks a month in a few months. And it's a little frustrating seeing the work of these developers and looking at my work. At this stage, developing the game is causing me some pretty big losses. It's like an unpopular series that is being closed after the first season. And you're all witnesses that I tried. I tried my best.
But I can't just stop developing a game. Because I don't think it's fair to those who support me. So I used my second computer. While there will be a rendering on the main computer. I decided to start developing a new game (a small one). With a "popular" gameplay. Since I need to fix my financial situation in order to further develop games. If the second game also turns out to be in the trend, (oh sorry trash:)), I guess I'll leave the game development.
And a few words about the next update. I'm already finishing up the last renders. There are about 5-10 left. Then I work and polish the text and code. And there will be a release. I hope I can manage in 7-10 days.
Peace.
Hmm. Didn't realize you were struggling for paetrons. You got one more. Trust the game is far from boring. Its quite unique in fact with the darker story and multi-pathing (which is good and bad given its ambitiousness). I think the one thing you need to get more paetrons is as some have said. More story progress, or character progress. With the multiple paths, even if people are playing through them all, it can feel like we are not making much progress (especially on preferred paths). I think taking a poll and focusing on the single most popular path to completion would garner more interest and feeling of progress or and possibly more difficult would be to open the game up at some point for more dedicated pursuit of individual females without being held back by the main story (difficult I imagine given the current way it all ties together), but that's my take on things. Good luck and will try to spread the word.

So instead of making them run to the car from the rain you decided to make them stand next to a tree in the rain:oops:
And you would have turned on the heater to warm her up? Frankly, I've been thinking about it all night and finally, I think I prefer Zee's method :p
That said, tree and storm... Don't try this at home :ROFLMAO:

I've been playing this game for a while now. Since you revamped it i believe.

Anyway i thought i already asked(i didn't) but why is the MC so hurt by The girl(I'm blanking her name I'm sorry) in the beginning even though i didn't even like her? I choose one of her 2 friends yet somehow he's still heartbroken by her.

I feel like there shouldn't have even been any option during that part if she was always going to be the important one too his character. I'm mostly just chatting till the game finish downloading but that was a small detail that use to bother me.

the patch 23 to 24 is only the update what is makes for this version.So when you have the version 0.23 you only need basicly this to download

What did I tell ya!!! Rewrite this VN into a @#%@$#^%$ GAME and do away with them bloody routes #@#@#@$ ;)!
I don't mind the routes the only one I'm not doing is route C I just couldn't imagine losing Adele, also this was a pretty decent update this is the route where we had already taken the guy out and first time meeting Victoria.

Sex scene with Adele was great amazing from how the MC and her started off until this point
