Please, if you need to ask something about potential spoilers, do it by PM (twitter or Discord), not here! XDDD Sorry!

That bug in the end (Steam version only, not here on itchio) was fixed in the last update, so please update your game!
For Jacob's bottom scene, you can choose if you want to top or bottom in the first scene with him ;)
I think I'll make a quick routes guide today, because many people miss the first Jacob scene XDD
Hi!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Let's see: the gauge telling you how many points you have with each character is a planned feature. The other feature for the phone (using it as a notepad) have never crossed my mind; I'll give it a thought.
To hide the textbox you just need to press "h" (hide), and it will disappear. There's a "help" option in the game menu with many interesting features for games made in renpy, I recommend you to check it out!
The missing texts and lunch breaks will be there in a next update, sorry. But if they are missing is because they aren't essential for the love interest's route.
There's currently one foreplay scene with Gabriel and another with Ivaan, but there will be one with each character for sure.
If you have more suggestions, please keep them coming! ;)
I'm really sorry that scene was triggering for you. I tried my best to highlight that Jorge could have pushed Jacob off and left any moment he wished -and he was 100% aware of it- but chose to stay. Despite disliking how the sex scene starts, he agrees to relinquish power and doesn't feel it as an assault, but just like rough sex.
However, if some people are going to feel triggered or disgusted, I'll add the option of actually pushing Jacob off and leaving: hate sex is a very particular kink anyway, and some people won't be able to enjoy the scene no matter the nuances. Same as open relationships aren't for everyone, as Jacob had the bad luck to realize belatedly.
I'm really sorry, but Mac asks for a paid dev fee to publish games for them. As I'm a solo dev making small games, it's not economically worth it for me.
On itchio nobody from Apple will check if that fee is paid or not. The other way around this is making an "all-operating systems" build for Steam. I can't put a tick on "Mac build" on Steam, but it might work on Mac computers, as it works for Linux users.
Anyway, I strongly recommend purchasing the game here, where you know you'll be able to play it, and claim a Steam key from the game page to try it on Steam.
I think I've shared it somewhere, but not sure if it was here or on Discord... Anyway:
-Gabriel: 95% top
-Ivaan: 100% top
- Jacob: 60% top
- Kevin: 100% bottom
Gabriel will have a total of two bottom scenes in the regular game, plus one more in the DLC. Jacob has one bottom scene in his route, and will have two more in the DLC.
Some of the texts, especially in Jacob's route, are still missing, yes (since some depend on the point you are with a certain character, and for that I need to have all the routes written T_T). Same happens when you have lunch with a character you aren't pursuing in that route.
They will be added soon, though!
Hi! Some of my games are short projects for game jams, so they are free on itchio: two of them are also available on Steam, but to be honest, it's not worth it because it's nearly impossible to recover the Steam tax.
That being said, My Burning Heart IS available on Steam. Unless you live in Germany, China, or other countries where games with NSFW content are banned, it should appear on my dev page there. BUT you need to have the access to adult content activated on your profile, and be logged in. In fact, if you buy the game through itchio you can claim a Steam key along with your purchase (which is the best way to support indie creators like myself, and to bypass Steam censorship XDD).

:( Precisely when just yesterday someone told me on twitter they had beaten Emile and Bernard's routes without funding any bugs...
I apologize for taking so long between updates; as you probably know I'm really busy with Exes Assault, and my visual novels are something I do in my free time, since I have a full-time day job and a family that sucks most of my time. But I promise I'll make time to do an update cleaning bugs and fixing typos as soon as possible!
