How does it feel to be damn humble. At the beginning of that EX1, Dev assured that this direction is and will remain. He created perhaps the worst sandbox in history and his audience demanded to restore the style of the previous VN. He banned people on his page if they even thought negatively about his great work. It's a completely different voice now that no one liked his great work. He created a poll and the result was apparently a shock to him as the majority were negative towards the sandbox he created. Let's see what this dev still comes up with. At least I'm not going to put my fingers into that new game right away and I want to see for a while whether it generates a lot of negative atmosphere here.
i was a big fan and big proponent of this game in its original form. once dev made it clear that the "new direction" was it and that was that, i deleted it and haven't looked back. not sure how this thread popped up in my alerts (i thought i unwatched it), but even if he has returned to original format, i am not interested anymore.
the original version was actually pretty relatively far along in a mega slow burn before all the remaking/remastering/rewhatever. maybe, MAYBE i'll take a look again if it ever gets farther than it was storywise, or has significant major advancement. but until then. just no thanks.

The original release I think ended at episode 7, right now the game at least on his itchio page is at episode 22 so lots of new content. The EX version seems to be the same game with free roam and the EX2 version is the EX version but no free roam and seems to be the current form of the game he is working on. Should be just as far or farther than episode 22 but I havent checked yet. The download link here on F95 is the EX version of the game and its out of date I think. You need to get it on his itchio page, linked on the first post. Its all free still.

The Class Next Door ended at Episode 7? Haha. Not even close.
And this is actually a big part of why many of us were annoyed. The game was never amazing, but at least it was all right. But then, after 22 Episodes of progress, we suddenly restart with sandbox? Ridiculous. And then, after a year of that, we restart again with kinetic novel? Forget about it.

I am trying to remember where I last left off. It was around the time when the MC is helping Amy with some paperwork and getting her own place or something like that. What episode was that?
EDIT
Seems like the download link in the main post is for the EX version. Apparently the EX2 version on itchio is the continuation of that.

This started out with the dev trying to piggy back off the popularity of an abandoned game called Teacher's Pet hence the "TP" for the first one, when that didn't work the dev has seemingly been trying to find something that sticks since.So the DEV's Itch.io page is a little confusing.. There seems to be 3 versions of this game.
1 - TP: The Class Next Door [Free Version]:
2gb in size despite claiming to be 1gb on the download link. This version is the F95 version but its up to episode 22 and was updated in December 2022 while the F95 version is episode 8, or 14 episodes behind in content! So tons of new content.
2 - The Class Next Door:EX [Free Version]:
2.7gb in size despite claiming to be 2gb on the download link. This EX version is claimed to be the free roam version of his game (the original F95 one? it already had free roam though right?) It is described as NOT as new game, but a new SEASON with many gameplay changes. I do not know if it follows the same naming/update episode convention but its at Episode 11. Updated December 11 2022.
3 - The Class Next Door:EX2 [DEMO]:
985mb size, kinetic novel version of EX without free roam. Also says it continues the events of the EX version. Idk if that means its just further ahead in development or if EX is now halted and moved to EX2 from now on. New gameplay changes to account for this. Updated March 2023.
I am not sure what to make of this so I guess I will just play them all. Game 1 seems to be the OG F95 release, just with alooooot of updates and new content. Game 2 seems to be the remake of Game 1 he always wanted but its with free roam sandbox stuff that a lot of users didnt like in the Game 1 so I am not sure what he means unless I am missing something or misinterpreting things. Game 3 seems to be the latest and one he is actively working on and the version of EX game 2 but WITOUT the free roam sandbox elements and is purely kinetic, your typical VN format.
Saves from the ancient F95 release wont work. All versions seem to be free to download. You guys might want to look at screen shots and some of the videos he provides to gleam more info and understanding. Dev seems to be focusing on Itchio and has stopped coming to this thread.
OMG, what a shitshow. I was enjoying EX2 and wanted to play the prequels to get the full story but its so damn confusing with all the different versions and releases.So the DEV's Itch.io page is a little confusing.. There seems to be 3 versions of this game.

So safe to say playing EX is enough or one needs to play both original TP:TCND followed by EX?

After playing a bit more I think EX is enough, as EX2 is its direct continuation, just without the sandbox. TP is the most up to date oddly enough, and is the farthest in the story, but the story is very different compared to EX/EX2 which made lots of changes. Its really its own game. I played TP and went straight into EX2 and it made no sense, I knew enough to fill in the gaps thanks to TP, but the differences were too much so I played EX.

well unless you want to play click and seek then for sure skip ex. it's extreme sandbox.

I wouldn't refer to the original as "TP" because they all technically begin with that. Using "TCND" makes it clearer what you're talking about. And if it doesn't make sense to go TCND straight into EX2, then screw it. I'm not going to go through all of EX just so this latest
I played TCND up until

I guess I'll consider it at some point. I'm too annoyed by the reworking of the revamp stuff to even touch the game rn.
