Holy shit this looks so good. What software is used for the models??

The quality on this is kind of insane! What tools do you use for the models/animations?

Thank you so much! I'll give it a shot!

Just throwing it out there that I LOVE that someone has made this game. I mean i personally have no interest, im personally a flat-justice enthusiast lol, so this one isn't for me. But I just love that something I imagine is very uncommon has gotten its own game too!

any chance for just a compressed version? Wanting to try it out using joiplay on Android, but I getting the spare 20GB space free without evening knowing it will work is a massive hassle (7gb download + (7+)gb for the unzipped + 5 gb space needed empty for phone to not throw a fit about running too close to max when trying to unzip a 7gb folder)

Only asking because I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that there may be a quick and simple way to downsize the renders to half height and width (quarter the memory). What i mean is- i hate to ask for something more from someone producing free content, and im only doing so because im under the impression that the extra work would be negligible.

You paid for it before playing if? Sure thing.

Why you guys keep bringing this to the front page? I keep getting my hopes up that it suddenly hitting "popular" means the update has released :(

Edit: fuck now I've re-downloaded it too and am gonna have to play through again >:(

1. Of course you could previously just spend like 10 minutes IRL spamming through skip and go 100 days in game of doing this to get all the money you needed. But doing so felt like a massive chore. It felt much more in pace with the games events when I would just do it when there wasn't an event at that time. Which resulted in doing it about once every 2 days. Sometimes more. So even though it's maximum of 2 has increased to 8, its far more than just 4x more frequent because you can do it every day. Made exponentially worse by having to wait for the clock every time,

For me personally this just wrecks the flow and just feels worse. Maybe others won't agree. Just providing my feedback.

2. I was able to do class lessons at 22, and it progressed it to 24. Maybe that's the only one thats broken or maybe it was just bugged out because it was a save from a different version and needed a full day to pass first. 

3. Not really important but im like 99% certain it was displayed as evening on time transitions and the up left corner. But referred to as "night" when looking at character cards. I wrote evening as this was what I saw in the game. 

4. A time slot used to essentially be a slot for an activity (but also a category that could enable different activities). Effectively this means that increasing it to 15 activities a day means 15 slots. I would say its 4 time partitions (or categories) now. But each of those partitions has multiple slots. (15 may not be the exact number, but its something close to that.)

5. Valid. I wasnt directly pressing the skip time button, my head was in the space of still doing some grindy task to pass time (like job or club), and since I had to do many of those, I had to go through the clock multiple times. Overall though yeah I was exaggerating even when doing it thst way. More like 20 seconds. But 20 seconds of loading when there was previously 0 is frustrating. 

...............

In terms of "emotional" responses: how a change feels when experiencing it is really the most important part. It is well known that the "impact" of lag from input to action isnt linear. For example, If you click on a "continue" button, having a 1 second delay wouldnt really be noticed. You could experience it 100s of times with no frustration due to it. But a single instance of a 5 second delay would be noticed and frustrating. So even if you made it so you had to press this button 5 times less, but made the delay 5 times longer - it DOESNT balance out. That 5 seconds is more impactful on how it feels to use the application than 100s of 1 second delays.

Point being: how it feels doesnt directly translate to the numbers. Its almost more accurate to describe it in exaggerations, as that tells truer to how it impacts the experience than just numbers does.

...............

Anyway, sorry to have made this into a big thing. I was just trying to get a feel for if others felt the same way, and wanted to make sure it was addressed as the game is great - but this kind of thing kills games for me. I hate waiting on waiting.

Um anyone else really really frustrated with the new update? I am playing it back through completely again and the time it takes for time transitions is ridiculous. Especially when it starts slowing down near the end. There needs to be an option to make this instant or skip it by clicking the screen.

additionally its kind of broken. Activities seem to only take up like 1.5 hours so you can do things like the club dancing around 8 times a day, and atleast some things that previously weren't available in evenings are available all the way up to midnight. It seems instead of havinh 4 time slots a day, i now have like 15. And if I need to wait for a time slot I have to spend like a minute waiting for the new clock animation

I dont think they are suggesting to redo. They asked if there will be MORE content. Which would imherently have the higher quality

There are instructions at the bottom of the page

Looking through the history of the releases on this, I see it has very consistently adhered to the "update every month plus or minus couple days". But now it's been like 5 months. Just wanting to know whats going on.

Don't mind me. Just commenting so I can go through my history at some point and see what the last version I played was 0.21.5

Im confused.

So it says 0.0.1 (and 2) are a remake, nut from what i can tell it seems to just be a series of stories from before the start of the original game?

Also confused with these stories ending with "this is the end of the content so far" (or somrthing like that). Are each of these 8 stories going to be expanded?

Is the plan that once you finish these, you are going to remake the main game content? Are new characters, thst appear in these stories, possibly going to be retroactively edited into the main game?

Sorry for so many questions but I just dont understand what is happening. Im loving it of course, but still very confused. I just started this now (didn't get the 0.0.1 originally), and after reading the 0.0.2 changelog, I kind of assumed when it said "chapters 2 and 3 now fully done!" That it meant the chapters 2 and 3 of the main story were fully remade.

....

And lastly, is there any work being done to continue the main story or is everything going into these precursor short story like episodes?

Whelp thT didn't happen

This technically does. You can run it from joiplay

Whats the context here? Played this through many times but never seen this!

soon^(TM)

yeah. This is definitely one of those games where I just wait for like 8 or so updates before picking it up again

a prayer from all android users. Please please PLEASE make combat remember last action BY CHARACTER. If I choose attack, it remembers that. But its universal. Its really annoying to have to keep moving it back and forth from skill/attack and bait every time darkness takes a turn.

It essentially quadruples the amount of time I spend on combats (if not more). Would really appreciate it if this could get changed!

Every update I reinstall and play whole thing again, my poor thumbs would really apprciate not needing to move around so much lol

Also would be cool if a warning confirmation would appear if you attempt to do an adventure by yourself (better yet if it just remembered my previous load out of characters)

Reinstalling now. Had a super weird bug (android) that was affecting basically my entire game. Katsuma face keeps briefly appearing for random text.

It occurred after the festival started and kept happening even when I loaded to a previous save. And persisted on restarting the app and clearing cache.

Like every other line he will pop up on the screen for like 1 second then dissappear. Its super annoying. It seems to get better and worse though. Like some times it's only for narratet text. Sometimes it's every other line. Sometimes its every 5 or so lines.

Not sure if this is something anyone else has had. Will come back to update if reinstalling (and pasting old saves into new game) will fix it or not

...................

Edit:

Reinstalling fixed it. Although I now have some major PTSD and cringe everytime his face appears 

On a scale of 1 to 10, how many shots did you have have before you wrote this?

Good call! I'll download it again later and try it out. Forgot joiplay could be used for more than just .exe files. Figured since there was a download link specifically for Android, i wouldn't need to use an emulator (joiplay).

Its an absolute crime that there isnt more to this yet!

great setup so far! For how little it's worth, you are now going on my list of content creators I plan to give money to once I get a secure job lol.

try restarting phone. That helped me once.

When i have this issue its because I'm low on storage space. Some games are REAL fucking pissy about this. I had to have atleast 15gb of space free to install a 3gb game before

Not finding an APK included with the android version...

Guessing it's one of those apps you run through browser? Trying to open index.html doesnt do anything though

Edit: 

Really wanted to solve this. Finally got it to not work but in a way that says I'm actually doing something. Opening the index.html doesn't do anything. You have to MANUALLY type out the damn path. For me this included doing "storage/emulate/.../download..." 

Granted once I did this, it just tells me my browser isn't allowed to read local files. Surely I'm missing something or was the android version of this just never tested?

"You have caused the extinction of the human race. Congrats. You saved the world"

im very happy with this ending

how much does it require? I have 10GB empty and it still won't install (had previously been trying with 6 GB empty)

Edit: i cleared out another 4GB and it worked so it needs more than 10, but less than 14 lol.

Although it isnt taking up nearly that much space... it just wanted it available

Can't seem to get this version to install for android.

I even tried uninstalling the old version when it wouldnt update, but still broken for fresh install.

I went there and the download versions there are the same as here...

Um so I've gotten to everything "in development" besides 2 characters. I bought the phone. Now its been 2 weeks in game of me waiting for message from the guy- and I have no idea how to use it to message the girl

Can't figure out how to swim...

Dora's quest says to try out the pool. I already bought the swim trunks and they are in my inventory (says "can't be used" if I try the use button).

There is not a single object in the pool room i can click on

About how much gets added in updates? Just got the 0.88 update, and was glad it sort of made a more clear stop than the cliff hanger of 0.85, but it was only like 1 scene, like 5 minutes. I believe the 0.92 is going public soon? When it does, about how much is gonna be added? Saw some things on the patreon mentioning endings?

Looking back, I think I just Googled the game and found download on different site

Absolutely amazing so far.

Was looking for a discord page to message you silently with this, can just delete after you reply if you want though.

[SPOILERS]

Had an idea for another level of "meta". When you go to make your guess about who is the other gamer, it catches you if you try to reload. However it can be bypassed by clearing the cache (on mobile). Would be cool if you just quickly at the beggining of the game or something populated the cache with 1 item. Then you could check for an empty cache when the player guesses and call the player out for trying to cheat their way around. 

Of course people could still just go find the file, or if they know this method, they could find out where you first added the item to make it non-empty. But it would judt be a fun Easter egg for people who try a super basic approach like i did.

The version here isn't updated it seems. Just go to their patreon page for updated version (still free).

Literally the best exotic GAME. Emphasis on "game". The actual game loop/gameplay is actually a game where you make decisions rather than what almost every other erotic "game"" does by just adding a time wasting gameloop that only exists to slow down the story so the game artificially has "more" content.

To boot, it also has a really cool story!

Downside though is that its all 2d, with low resolution graphics and the animations being added are quite lack luster and infrequent (newer versions have gone back and partially animated some events).

[SPOILER]

That ending though. Imagine if Caribis was just done making this, and decided to just to leave this as the ending. Would be like blue balling my brain.

I believe they mis-took their actual personality and feelings about themselves as that of thr MC

Slower? Im seeing last update as 3 years ago...

Would be nice if each character could say #/X events completed, so you dont get suddenly blindsided by when you run out of content. Other than that, maybe just some in-game way of providing hints for location content. Great story and game!
