Worked for me except images didn't show, said they were missing.
This game needs a replay scene gallery not a photo gallery.
This game needs a replay scene gallery not a photo gallery.
I got to say, game being voiced elevates it to another level. I played this one only untill the first park scene just now, and even though I've seen just 4 sprites and 3 backgrounds - I had more fun than with any of those "7000 different 3Daz renders per season" type of VN's.
Not sure I understand... who wants to have access to all the scenes in the game instead of having them paywalled?...
the same here
The dev realized that the way he was locking the premium content was braindead simple to get around (literally was just a single line telling the game to skip back to the choice if you clicked the premium choice, but all the scene content was still there so if you removed that line it played like normal). In this version he removed the scene from the script as well as removing the relevant images from the game directory. Drop this patch into the game's root directory (overwrite when prompted) and it should restore all of it plus unlock the scenes.

Release date: Wishes v0.92 will be released on July 8th - or July 15th if there are any bugs to fix. This version of the game will exclusively feature new illustrations, new backgrounds, and a new character sprite for Teacher.
Work In Progress: Approximately a week later, we'll share some Work In Progress updates, as we're making great strides on the Teacher's route. (Stay tuned for some exciting previews!)
Patron Vote: A vote for all Patrons will be available soon.
Exclusive Content: At the end of the month, an exclusive illustration will be available for all our most generous Patrons!
Thank you all for your incredible support this month! We're eager to hear your feedback on the new illustrations and backgrounds. Feel free to share your thoughts with us!
Stay connected for more updates and surprises coming your way!
I mean, to be expected, no?
Actually I forgot how it is portrayed, but I'm gonna assume as high school setting? That + sexual content is a no-no for steam or patreon.
Wishes v0.92 is now live!
- The presentation of these new illustrations in the Gallery still shows the old ones, I know I need to fix that in v0.93.
Please enjoy!
- We’ve revamped 11 illustrations, 7 backgrounds, and 1 character sprite with a few variations.
- (No new routes or scenes in this version, it was focused on correcting some images.)
- The presentation of these new illustrations in the Gallery still shows the old ones, I know I need to fix that in v0.93.
Please enjoy!
The new version might be triggering your antivirus due to a false positive, which can sometimes happen with updates.

Man, this looks familiar...
Here's another one-off bespoke shot between the teacher and one of the other girls. Can you guess which one just from looking at her? No, you can't, cause the girl pictured here lacks both the pigtails of Ashley and the twin tails with ribbons of Elizabeth. It is actually supposed to be Elizabeth, but that's clearly not what she looks like. Plus, look at the background. More soft, mushy, airbrush looking stuff that looks okay if you squint at it from a distance, but falls apart if you look at it too closely. Now the earlier background stills looked good and hand drawn, with hard edges and good perspective lines. But that's not the case here. Although even the filler background location images also got offloaded to AI as well.
I posted that back in May of 2023. Later in July that same year, the dev posted this (my own emphasis added)...
What do we have now being posted in July 2024, a full year later? The 'new' image just looks like more generative AI slop, and it includes all of the same problems the old one did. The background is a fuzzy mess, the characters are in the exact same hand-hiding poses, and the blonde one in front who is supposed to be the Elizabeth still lacks her distinctive twin-tails (or Ashley's pigtails). If anything it got worse, cause now this new Frankenbeth has this weird bit of flesh colored something or other popping out from under her hair. Problem is, it doesn't look like part of the side of her head.
So is this just more sloppy AI, just another re-roll of the text-prompt dice, or did someone digitally trace over the original bad AI (or use it as a source image for another AI dice roll) and somehow create an even worse version with the freakish skeletal remains that came before? Out of curiosity I checked, and the version used in the announcement image is used in-game and has replaced the older AI image. So yes, even if this was done by a human artist with creative intention, they fucked up Elizabeth's hair yet again.
Funnily enough this image was also accompanied by a voice-over section that subtly didn't match the on-screen dialogue in various ways. Saying "going" when the text is "gonna", saying "it's" when the text is "it is", and inserting an unwritten "the" into "You have to give
I didn't check much further past this image, since this game still refuses to have a 'skip unseen text' option, and I'm just not clicking though any more mountains of text. Suffice to say, none of this is particularly great...
EDIT:
Just double checking some stuff, and it turns out the above isn't the only slapdash AI image replacement that looks suspiciously like just more AI. The sprite for the teacher has as well, but again, it's just as bad as the prior version; plus it is bad in new and exciting ways as well.

Whoever did the original character sprites for the girls at least had some understanding of how clothes on people work. They shared a consist style and uniform, making it visually believable that these characters all coexisted within the same fiction. This updated teacher sprite opts for soft airbrush shading, very frequently indicative of generative AI, but regardless is still a complete departure from the other girl's sharp and hard edged animation style shading. The skirt is a weird and mostly nonsensical amalgamation of colors and patterns, with the edges of the pleats clearly disappearing in some spots. The collar and necktie are a mess of competing shapes that don't know how to properly join or overlap naturally. The front seam of the red cardigan has zero interest in following the contours of this character's massive breasts, instead represented as a nearly straight line down the middle despite her being posed in three-quarters view. The entire pose is a complete plastering over of the same one used by the original image, including the hiding of both hands behind the back.
Also keep in mind that this is supposed to be a depiction of the same character as the one in the 'v0.92' update banner, the one talking to twin-tailless Frankenbeth. Again, this is either just another generative AI re-roll using the original image as a source, or a person so slavishly tracing over the AI original that they've recreated most of its problems while introducing some of their own.
This isn't even the end of it either, as two other generative AI images (headshot of Ashley as a store clerk, and a below the waist upward shot of her behind standing at a reception desk in her school uniform) that have also been replaced with poor tracing or source recycled AI.

I'm going to skip over a lot of the details you mentioned. For Elizabeth's hair, I wanted it to be loose to make her look sad (because she is at that moment).
Other than that, I'm just going to respond to your comments that disgust me.
----------------
Some details are really beautiful. Artists who charge a reasonable price can't even compete when it comes to these highly technical details.
Now, what did I do?
We can’t afford to hire voice actors, plus animators, plus artists who would charge us $1,000 for every single illustration that was done by AI?
Also, we only had a month to redraw several illustrations.
I could have very well left everything as it was if I didn’t care about my game.
I honestly don’t care that you're complaining about this. I know very well that people like you would complain whether AI was involved or not. (Exactly what you're doing, by the way.)
Games like “My Femboy Roommate” are popular and make more money and get more players in just one release because they look great, but that game is entirely made by AI.
And yet, you come here to complain about OUR efforts?
People like you depress me.
You play the game for free, you know I’m going to read your feedback, but instead of encouraging someone, you just choose to be mean.
Other than that, I'm just going to respond to your comments that disgust me.

You’re saying the AI understands how clothes work on people better, but that doesn’t make any sense. The truth is, AI steals the artistic style from THE BEST artists out there, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

They didn't "just" choose to be mean, they chose to be critical. And toxic positivity's a joke to endorse, you're not entitled to encouragement when you do something poorly or wrong.
You messed up horrifically when you tried "experimenting" with AI to save on cost, and the replacements are worse than the images they're supposed to replace. See, the issue in and of itself isn't "AI bad", it's "your AI bad", which is why other AI projects do well despite being AI gens.
Game's got terrible art consistency because of your decisions, the script to VO matching is less than shoddy (which is inexcusable, it's not hard), and the art quality also dropped hard. These aren't things you can excuse away, they're fundamental flaws of the game that you either fix or don't.
Effort or passion don't matter if the end result is bad or shoddy. Also, stupidly bold to assume a pirate is playing your game for free, a lot of pirates support creators and works.
Tangent time~ Because I despise this nonsense:
That's a common reductionist argument based on complete misinformation and flat out lies, and when people blindly parrot it they're outing themselves as uninformed of even entry level information about the subject.
Every professionally trained or formally educated artist was taught through plagiarism so they can learn to make art properly by copying others. That's quite literally the core focus of the curriculum for art schools and tutors.
So saying AI "steal" but professional artists don't is beyond absurd, the end result of both art styles is essentially the same but with different steps to reach it.
And the added kicker is that AI can't steal, even with image to image gens, they can only synthesize and then interpret, several degrees of separation there that real artists don't have themselves. By every definition, it's a transformative property.

technically speaking the AI itself didn't steal your correct. however. the AI's Training data in almost all cases was stolen from the creators without their consent through a process know as scraping. that technically means companies like Google and others did the stealing not the AI but theft did happen. as far as we are aware an AI isn't currently aware enough to make the choices required to conciously steal but their owners and users sure can.
also there is a Huge difference between a deritivie work and a copy or attempt to copy. one of those things is fine. the other comes with a hefty fine and jail sentence. making an AI create something that could pass for a real artists work is just as wrong as making your own forgery that masquerades as another persons work. something that is considered both Fraud and Theft IRL. so your argument is a lot more Shakey than you think it is. an AI is simply a tool that in this case make that act more simple and have a lower (or at least different) skill requirement.

I can't speak for the dev here, but from what I've seen, the other guy keeps leaving and coming back just to criticize the author's work.
I think that's what's getting him down more than the actual criticism.
The worst part is that in his critique, he's trying to convince others not to play his game.
That would get to me too if I were in his shoes.
He didn't say all the players don't support him, just that he personally doesn't feel supported by this individual.
Also, let's be honest, 99% of us don't support these games the way we should.
It's not stupid or bold to assume that fact...
It’s intellectual property steal because they were trained by taking images from certain artists specifically.
Technically, that’s considered stealing.

Saying "going" when the text is "gonna", saying "it's" when the text is "it is", and inserting an unwritten "the" into "You have to givetheothers a chance"; making 3/10 lines of dialogue in that section alone inaccurate and in need of revision. These mistakes aren't just limited to this one section either, I caught multiple mistakes whenever I did stop to listen in other parts as well. Basically whenever the spoken dialogue is a bit awkward or stilted, the voice performers deliver a more natural sounding version rather than sticking to the text strictly as written.
I didn't check much further past this image, since this game still refuses to have a 'skip unseen text' option, and I'm just not clicking though any more mountains of text. Suffice to say, none of this is particularly great...

or is it automatically bad because it's AI regardless of how it looks?
