Omg YAY I was waiting for someone to recognise that!!! Yep, canonically Quinn/MC is Filipino (as is yours truly)!!! You have no idea how happy this comment has made me :D
As for meeting the younger brother, unfortunately he is past the age of being respectful towards his elders (being a preteen and all)... The only time he would call us Ate or Kuya is if your mom forced him to XD (he's kinda based on my real life younger brother, who tbh hasn't called me Ate in years XDDD)
Thank you so much for playing!!! So glad you enjoyed it sm <333333
AHHHHHHH thank you so much nihomi, I'm so happy you were finally able to play the full version!! And I'm even happier that you liked it so much :)
I'll write about it in more detail in the postmortem/dev notes but yeah, that was the general aim of the game hehe, I've always wanted to delve deeper into the psychology of yanderes.
I'm glad Quinn/MC's personality stood out to you! Yes, their interactions with Liev were incredibly fun to write - I got to channel my inner yandere and imagine standing up to one at the same time!! (weird flex but ok)
Also omg!! I never expected someone to play as both versions of Quinn/MC!! Ahhh I'm so glad you noticed all those things.
(HEHEHEHE yay you noticed the easter egg as well!)
AHHHHH I need more, this game is too freaking good!!
**** SPOILERS BEWARE!!!! ****
Despite the fact that I love to spoil myself with the comments, even I was still caught off guard by the twist in the main ending... Dammit, I was genuinely liking Maverick and hoping that there would be at least one good ending for him...
But knowing what I know now, CAMDEN ROUTE WHEN!!!
Still... Gah, I want to hate Maverick so bad but his affection for us seems so twistedly genuine considering what happens to him in the ending.
**** SPOILERS OVER!!! ****
I also have to commend the art style!!! It's so cozy in a way I can't really describe... Like it's straight out of a vintage photo album.
Oooh that’s a good one… if Quinn bit Liev in the way I’m thinking you’re thinking, then he would have a mental BSOD and start acting uncharacteristically shy and subby since he’s not at all used to them being so forward with their affection XD in short he’d be suffering from success.
Also ooh!! Would you mind sharing the fic with me when it’s done? No pressure though!
AYEEEEEEE A FELLOW KIWI!!! I'm always so happy when a fellow New Zealander finds PuCo haha. Hope you liked the lil jab at Auckland's housing market...
Thank you so much for playing! And I'm so so glad you're enjoying playing as male MC <3 to be completely honest, I can't recall seeing many other soft male yan x male mc vns around here...
Hehehehe tyyyyy! I’m glad you enjoyed it so much (enough to be inspired to write a fic for my game???? Holy crap…..)
And yes, of course you can!! I would love to read it pretty plsplspls send the link to me (only if you want but also PLEASE)
I had to look at my planning docs to remember what ending 2 was… and oh dear. Yeah that ending was emotionally pretty difficult to write 😭 but I’m glad it was effective…? 😭😭
Thank you for your support! Quinn/MC's character is sorta based on my experiences having anxiety so I'm glad I was able to depict it accurately :>>> So glad you love the game!!!!!
Thank you so much for your support omg!!! And honestly, look at the bright side - you were spared a (very long) wait! If you need help on getting a specific ending lmk!!!!
And yesss haha, when playing a yandere VN it's a thin line between finding their actions really sweet and romantic and being like, "wtf wtf WTF this would not be okay in real life!"
I'm so so happy that you love Liev!!!! (He loves you too) (He is also in your walls)
Pic 14 - Achieve between 5-7 affection across the whole date, but for the key choices after lunch (i.e. hold his hand, to keep or reject the plushie, to intervene or not do anything), don't pick options that gain affection. The game allows you to pick up to TWO "adds affection" responses for post-lunch choices without triggering the true ending.
Pic 15 - Achieve between 5-7 affection across the whole date, and ensure that for all key post-lunch choices, you pick the responses that GAIN affection. Look out for times when Liev opens up about himself, that's a way to check that you're on the right track.
Thank you so much for playing! I'm really glad you're enjoying it ^^
Hey and sorry for the late reply, work and life keeps me tired and busy ^^'
That is a massive relief, I would hate to release a (mostly) final product riddled with typos!
I've fixed up the "sp" typo, but I've gone through the script for the True End and can't seem to find the "be"/"he" typo? (Does not help that at first glance, the first letters look very similar...) I would be really glad if you could find it though!!
(Now that I think about it, if the typo was literally anywhere else in the script I'd have to run all of the story files through a proofreader... Yeeeeeikes.)
Thank you so much for playing PuCo and for the continuing support (and especially for helping me to find problems that slipped past my nose!).
Gahhhhhhh I knew I should've been more thorough with bug-testing my code. Thank you so much for basically doing it for me... And zamn, you read fast haha.
I figured out what was wrong with the achievement_get error and fixed that, as with the lunch variable error. Ostensibly. I'll need to have a comb through to check any other errors I might've missed before uploading the bug fix!
And no, typos??? T - T Guess I really should've taken an extra day or two to spellcheck...
Huh, the stopping and starting music... The only major thing I remember changing in the demo script was taking out some of the automatic interruptions / skips in dialogue (as I felt it would annoy players). Could you please give me an example line/scene where the stopping/starting was supposed to be?
YOU HAVE TO STUDY FIRST!!! Pls, for Liev's sake (he would love you no matter what but he would also want you to do well at school!)
Thank you so much for all of the supportive comments since I started developing PuCo!!! I hope you have fun playing the full version!!!!!! And good luck on your studying!!!!!!!!
Hiya! Yes it is out but I'm just having problems with uploading the builds for the different OS's T - T You may or may not have downloaded a Mac build instead of a PC build. But I'm working on it!
I couldn't bear to abandon this game with everything I've already drawn for it, haha (despite my lack of frequent updates...).
I'm really happy to hear that you're still keeping up with development!!!
And thank you! I never expected to get it done quickly since game devving is purely a hobby for me, but I still don't like leaving people hanging for too long...
So... I just played through a bunch of the endings and...
SPOILER
Trying to restart after completing Ending 4 left me feeling horrible, LMAOOOOOO that was a huge mistake. That bad ending was extremely well done though, some genuinely unsettling meta horror stuff (like, not allowing me to skip, or access the UI, or even to close the game window??? Omfg. That part gave me CHILLS).
Aside from that, this game is so cool! I love that the options menu plays a key part in progressing the story, and that the game itself reacts to you doing standard VN things (e.g. skipping, loading older saves).
I also really like that Liv (her design and name are so cute!) subverts the expectations of being a docile love interest in a romance VN. That you're encouraged to essentially set her free from the game (and that you're punished dearly for trying to replay it afterwards... How I wish I never reopened the game after Ending 4 T-T).
The MC is... so painfully awkward, yet so painfully relatable. Sometimes you just can't click with someone no matter how you try!
I look forward to seeing your future updates! Especially if they involve a permanent happy ending for Liv... Dear God...
Congrats on graduating university :D That is a massive achievement that needs time and dedication, so honestly don't even worry about disappearing! Real life comes first after all~
Also congrats on getting your license! And getting a full-time job!
The burnout is real though. Adulting (cringe word but oh well) means less free time after all... But it's really good that you're still making bonus games and art in the meantime!
Take care of yourself <3 looking forward to your future endeavours.
