It sounds like good news about your ssd's. how can people be such nasty assholes they have to cause you so much emotional turmoil? Why can't people just mind their own business, what's it got to do with anyone else, it's your livelihood and non their business after all.
The way you have worded it, I am now looking forward to playing the christmas special after all!
I had to start MNF all over again, because I had forgotten that I hadn't copied any of saves over to my new computer. The drive died and I lost all my renpy saves. I have played this game through a number of times since I first got it much prior to v.014, and what i find interesting, is that usually after you have read a novel a few times, it tends to loose it's appeal because you know exactly whats going to happen etc, but I am still loving playing from the beginning again. I am currently upto meeting little alice and she has just moved in, had to comfort her the first night because she was so sad and scared. Still a long way to go, but just wanted to tell you I love the stories as if I was reading them for the first time.
Thank for such a wholesome and beautiful game, even if a number of people wouldn't see that way.
I know you said you will be making this game into version 1.0, and combining the 2 parts together, But you really need to fix the grammar. Maybe find someone fluent in English and whom has good grammar, so they can fix all the little syntax errors such as bring and take. You don't ask some one to bring you to the door, you ask them to take you to the door for example. This is the correct syntax. You don't bring anyone anywhere, you take them. Also you if your not going back to MNF to add the love route, it might be a good idea to remove that, and at the start of the game explain you can choose just one or however many girls / side girls as you want and you can choose to impregnate them or not at some point, but if you don't, there will be less content because this game was created to be played as a harem with a male protagonist. Just my thoughts.
Really looking forward to MNM.
