So he was Hufflepuff and she was Gryffindor?

Earlier this week, as I finally finished writing Kim’s route scenes, I realized June is almost over. Time’s flying, and when you’re balancing a full-time job and the game’s development, it really slips by faster than you’d expect.
Over the past few months, I’ve received quite a few messages asking about the next update release. Most have been very respectful and understanding (thank you for that!), but some... not so much.
Last year, I was aiming to have Chapter 4 ready by this month. What I didn’t plan for was having to return to working a full-time job, which changed everything this year. Because of that, I’ll have to push Chapter 4 release further into Q3. Not having much time each day to work on it is pretty frustrating, but that’s the reality right now.
With the current level of support, I simply can’t quit my job and go full-time on the game, which means that updates will end up taking longer to develop than I would like. I know that’s not ideal, but I’m doing what I can with the time I have.
You can try the game through “alternative sources” to see if it’s your cup of tea, but keep in mind that downloads from pirate sites contribute zero toward the game’s development. So, if you enjoy the game and want to help its development, consider becoming a supporter. Every month, I try to give something nice in return (check out the tiers perks for more info).
In fact, this isn't just about me. If you enjoy a game, whether it’s mine or from another developer, the support you give, even something as simple as spreading the word, goes a long way in helping us keep doing what we—and you—love.
Like I mentioned a few times before, I’m not abandoning this project. The game will be completed, even if it takes me until 2030 (as someone said in one of those messages). I’m committed to seeing it through, but I am not burning myself out or starving to make it happen. As I said, I can’t quit my job to dedicate solely to the game’s development, yet.

Thank you so much to everyone who's stuck with me until now. I really appreciate it.

I will say on my own behalf. Chaq justifies the trust in himself 1000%. Plus he is always in touch and communicates with the community, listening to criticism adequately and without nerves.

The numbers mostly fell how I expected them to, the only minor shock I had was Keyla vs Alessa. I expected Alessa to have more and Keyla to have less.

Olivia's team won. Kimberly fans, let's support our CHAQ so our queen can win the upcoming polls!

Poor Kim... Isn't that like 1 vote overall? I think it's hard to come back from her initial introduction.

I am not a big fan of characters that leave a relationship, but the blame is put on a third person.

I'm generally not a fan of MC's being in a relationship when I start a VN, with few exceptions.
I like to choose who I want the MC to be with, that's the most fun part of playing them for me. So when Kim left I was happy rather than sad, which I guess was the feeling that we were supposed to feel. Then when she suddenly returned I was disappinted I can't lie.

she on the same level as Kaija for me

So she's ok, then? SORRY

exactly brother

She's not my girl, and I don't hate her

And I understand why she did what she did she was afraid

for the MC's life

But even though I understand that I don't forgive her, I don't forgive people who leave

which is ironic because this game is about ex-girlfriends who left the MC at some point

And personally, I believe that nothing is more important than

the woman you love

and your relationship

soo for me the relationship that pisses me off the most is the relationship between Kayla and mc

I find it absolutely ridiculous that they prioritize their relationship with the MC best friend over fighting for their love

I mean if Kimberly were dating my best friend I'd be like fuck that guy you're mine


Correction I just remembered it made sense because of the MC's mental issues

the MC has a problem fighting for what he wants. I hope he resolves that issue

I agree, I tend to dislike when the MC enters a story with a pre-existing girlfriend because there's no telling if I will like her as a player and if I don't, the MC will look neurotic as he immediately 180s on her. The only exception I can think of is Hannah in Between Two Worlds and I think even that was more of me taking a liking to Hannah than liking the situation.

As for bowl cut Kim, streets.

I also hate when the game gives you a forced girlfriend you didn't ask for but in the case of yesterday's Crossroads I think

it doesn't count or it's perfectly fine because you break up with her at the end of the prologue

sooo my opinion it doesn't matter if the game gets you a girlfriend if the relationship ends before the game begins

or if it ends extremely early in the story before you start any other relationship so you're not a cheater

so in my opinion it's a non-issue

I agree except about the part about it being a non-issue, since she came back, it very much became an issue. If she was gone permanently, and was just a footnote in the MC's past he's trying to recover from, then I'd agree she would be a non-issue.

The thing with preexisting GFs / ExGFs in games is, I will either feel bad at cheating at them which means I will ignore the other girls, or I will hate them for breaking the relationship and thus will probably avoid giving them a second chance other than maybe friends route depending on how we broke up.

Very few games can make it work and put them on the same level as other LIs.

For me, it's a non-issue because she's just another ex-girlfriend of the MC

In fact, I believe 90% of the characters in this game are ex-girlfriends or had a relationship of some kind with the MC

And just like all the other relationships in the game, it's completely up to the player if they want to continue anything with her or not

Yes, she is a character in the game, no matter what, but you can just choose to go to work, come home, and ignore her completely

In my opinion, this game gives you the best monogamous relationships of all visual novels

I've seen games with terrible monogamy roots, and everybody seems to give those games a pass

well to be fair brother when I fall in love with a girl I don't care about the other characters anyway

all I care about is that one girl for the entire game and the rest of them can die

If Kim had stayed away sure, but in the last episode we were pretty much forced due to the main story to spend time with her on the business trip. This was reduced a bit with the remake compared to the original version but you cannot simply ignore her.
From the look of the previews it seems like we are also going to be roped into helping Kim and her sister escape their apparently psycho father. Despite not really having a reason to care about that anymore or a reason to put yourself into danger if he is indeed as dangerous as Kim says.

I just want to fuck the sister to spite Kim, don't care about the rest
