Content wise it's the full version, though it has a complete UI overhaul that is still a little buggy, and that should be fixed before the public release.
The character bios do carry over, they just unlock when you get to the end of the current content. Though now that I think about it, it would definitely make more sense for the part 1 stuff to be unlocked at the start of part 2. Thanks, I'll add that to my to-do list!
Actually there's no drawing involved at all. All of the images are created in 3D rendering software, and then touched up and enhanced in digital image editing software.
Hey, thanks for the detailed comment; I always love to hear that people are really enjoying the story!
For your first question - You're spot on about why I avoided giving significant choices; I feel like avoiding them allows me to craft a much tighter story. As for including small flavour choices; I certainly could, it would be a little more work, but nothing prohibitive. The main reason I don't is because I feel like a lot of players actually don't like too many choices; they feel that they introduce an element of uncertainty about choosing wrong and missing content, when really they just want to read a good story. I honestly don't know if the way I'm doing it is better or worse, but at this point I think I'll stick to what's been working. Whenever Cosy Cafe finally finishes, I might consider changing things like that for my next project.
So the second question about the eyes - I notice the same problem occasionally while I'm rendering, and try to avoid it when I do; but it's subtle enough that I sometimes miss it. The problem is actually caused by the scene lighting and the way it interacts with the eyes from different angles, so unfortunately it's not as easy as just fixing the models.
As for the final question - I do try to hide the MC's face where possible, and I'm never going to show full frontal shots of it, but I do put some profile shots in when it's necessary to make a render work. I think the first one was actually on day 18 when the MC is sitting in the corridor outside of Sarah's room, though perhaps the one in the latest update was a little more revealing. I don't plan on going really beyond the side shots you've already seen though.
And your English was perfect! Thanks again for the comment.
Hey, sorry I missed replying to this! I get a tonne of messages after a release, and somehow this one slipped through. Most of the questions have already been answered, though I would say there is probably around 4 years of content left to develop, going by my current plan. There is one more side love-interest yet to be introduced (a childhood friend of the MC), but other than that the main cast is set at this point.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! The next update is around 25,000 words - having asked quite a few players, I find the average speed people get through it is a little over 10k words per hour, but there is massive individual variation. So really it just depends how fast you are.
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed it! The MC being a bit emotionally guarded is deliberate at this point. He has a character arc, just like the girls do. Eventually he will open up more.
Yeah, nothing I can really do about the elbows right now unfortunately. That may change when I overhaul all of my graphical stuff some time in the first half of next year when I build a new PC though.
Pubic hair is probably not gonna happen, sorry! More medium sized chests are definitely coming down the line eventually, however. When I first made all of the main girls I deliberately made a range going from small to large, however it just so happened that the two smallest (Akatsuki/Sarah) and the two biggest (Lucy/Vicky) got all of the early attention.
Sorry, I can't here - the last time I did that itch's automod falsely flagged me as a spammer. If you join the discord link at the top of the page you can get it there.
Thanks, that's an awesome review! And just to answer the very last point: while I would say my writing certainly has improved over the course of making the game, it's more just having room to breathe. Same with the Akatsuki introduction you mentioned previously actually; in the early content I felt a lot of pressure to make things move and get things established so as not to bore the reader, meaning the first three girls were more rushed than I would like. Especially Lucy; in hindsight I would have liked to take things much slower with her, and go deeper into the story with her mother.
