'Sall good man.

Depends on how far you are in the game, because there's a potential answer I could provide that has a fairly significant story spoiler.

Thanks the headsup and the look into your upcoming plans, guess I chose a good time to purchase. Appreciate the work y'all have put in, looking forward to seeing what's available.

Are there any plans currently to eventually release the completed version on Itch for purchase? I rarely use my Steam account anymore and can't afford to pay for Patreon access atm, just figured I'd ask in case future me can give y'all what you deserve for this gem of a game.

Appreciate the headsup, been a while since I last played. Looking forward to the next update, 'til then good health and good fortune to y'all.

Good lord that preview image's glorious. Thanks for the headsup on what's coming on down the pipeline, looking forward to getting more romance options in particular.

Glad to have you on board pal, especially since you've got one hell of a good resume. Been looking forward to the next iteration since I finished the last Ren'Py build back in December, here's to your and AK's future health and success.

Appreciate the candor man, always nice to have a figurative face-to-face chat with a dev. Here's to you and the rest of the dev team's future health and success, it's been a genuine pleasure to see as much as I have already.

Appreciate the quick response, ended up locking myself into Aida's route first time around, reset to see as much as I could. Still planning on making her my first playthrough (mainly due to her tying in first place so far as personality and likability with Naomi for me), but I'm getting a lot more skill points and events after resetting and trying with the others, so all's well that ends well I suppose. Guess I'll grind each of their routes to 20 and make a save there.

Is event 21 the point of no return for each girl? Been loving the game so far, but I'm the type of person that likes to try as much as I can in a single playthrough. I love and respect the choice to make this monogamy-focused, just want to make sure of that so I have a checkpoint save to go back to so I can jump right in to each girl's story without having to replay the early-mid game.

Glad to have helped in a small fashion, seen other devs do something similar on occasion, figured it'd be an easy way to vet out any ideas you might have, fresh perspectives and whatnot.

Since the events seem to closely mirror that of Goblet of Fire theme wise, guess I started thinking about the golden dragon egg and Myrtle again.  Given the sheer amount of wheels and greeblies described on the back wall the sky's the limit. Hell, I guess one thing that could involve the community with development might be the selection of one of the random events via a Discord or Patreon poll. Thanks for the reply, always glad to talk with the two of you.

Damn, glad I checked in today, lotta good stuff mentioned here. Will be interesting to see the new girls and events, found myself actually liking Aisling a decent bit when I tried pursuing her last patch, coarse but with a good heart beneath. Also glad to see progress on Hagrid's multiversal cousin, love his design. Were the baths supposed to have random events from the start, or was the random factor always just the stamina recovery? Suppose I never noticed if so, but given the reasons listed I suppose that isn't too surprising. Damn fine work Shady 1 & 2, looking forward to the update.

Praise be! Been looking forward to this for a good bit now, the story and your scenes are worth their weight in gold Akaime.

Just finished the proofreading, took a bit longer than expected due to a change in my schedule today. Details on the tab you set up on Discord.

Nice to see the soft side of this fiery little lass again, one of my favorite characters despite (or maybe because of) her brusque nature.

I'd have to do a second playthrough to find them again, but I'm willing to do some proofreading if you'd like. Sasha's dialogue was fine from what I can remember, it was mostly minor stuff like the odd misspelling and some sentence's structuring.

Pretty damn good so far, love the feel of the worldbuilding and the dialogue, plus the art's among the best I've seen on Itch. There's several grammatical errors I noticed sprinkled throughout, but other than that I can't really find much to fault thus far. You've got a rock solid foundation here, I'll be keeping a close eye on everything to come from here on out.

Feel like I'm being called out here, heh. Thanks for the update y'all, glad to take a good and proper look at what's available.

How could I stay mad with a face like that? Happy belated Valentine's Day AL.

Appreciate the work you've put in Caffa, been a decent bit since I last played Everbloom, but I'm eager to see what's changed. Happy Valentine's to you and yours, wishing y'all the best.

'Sall good Shli, you've got your own life to live and your own worries. Appreciate the work you've put in thus far, can't wait to dive back in whenever it's ready.

There's also an in-game option to show a notification of when a hamster's on-screen, just gotta flick it on and select which way you'd like to be hinted.

Appreciate the reply, been playing like mad, just got to the end of the current build. Y'all are making something truly special here, been on a binge of adult VNs since December and Crimson's easily in the top five.

Fastest I've been able to get in on an update, literally downloaded the game just yesterday. Y'all are on fire, always nice to see passion of this sort on Itch.

Appreciate the quick reply, already looking forward to it. The demo was so damn cute, can't wait to see the finished product.

Will the full release be here on Itch as well as Steam? Tend to prefer downloading my games from here, my Steam account's been gathering dust for a decent bit now.

Y'all have done a bang up job so far as character design and personality are concerned so far in my opinion, though I will admit I find myself biased towards the Dunagall and Talamhdan girls so far, especially Elizabeth and Lily.

Does Machi ever go back to her first look? Just recently got to the point in the story where she has to disguise herself, really loved her initial appearance.

True, feel kinda dumb for forgetting that now. Lost my previous PC a couple months ago, guess I'm still paranoid since the AppData folder on my old hard disk got corrupted before I transferred everything over.

Always glad to see QOL improvements like this, pretty hyped to see everything that's changed. Cheers Ncrow, more than happy to have discovered GW back in December.

Forgot I followed you after trying out Robot Daycare back in December, must say it's a pleasant surprise to see a game such as this appear in my feed today. Just barely started the demo today, glad to join y'all.

Go to the folder holding the exe, then open the folder inside labeled game. Pull the save folder out to keep your progress and delete everything else, then download the zip and install as usual. Or you could extract and replace all the files in the main folder, but I'd still pull or at least copy your saves first just in case.

Sounds similar to My Pervy Poltergeist's development, really damn good VN that's also his first project. Would heartily recommend checking it out if you haven't already, it jumped pretty quickly towards the top of my personal list of favorites after I found it last December. In any case, best of luck to you pal, you've got a solid foundation here so far.

And to quote the late great Ben Bernie, "Yowza!" Great update all around Thresh and Co., already looking forward to the next update.

Heyo Cross, glad to see you're still actively developing SS. Gotta say I respect the decision to make this a monogamy-focused game, most people go the harem route to avoid stepping on toes, but it does feel more special to devote yourself to one character imo (plus, what are multiple love interests there for if not multiple playthroughs, eh?). Looking forward to seeing how the plot develops from here on out.

Alrighty then, time to dust off the save files and see those new harpy CGs and other assorted bits.
