Close. Their labels were just switched, so text speed governed auto forward time and vice versa. It's fixed for the public release in a couple hours, though. Thanks for letting me know. :)
If I understand you correctly, then no. It never worked like that, either. Each update is 20 bucks, just like the respective tier on Patreon is - which btw is where the $23 came from, because I never realized that I went with $20 on itch.io but 20€ on Patreon, which converts to $23.
You might think it's greedy to ask for 20 bucks every update - and in some ways it probably is - but keep in mind that the game is free in general. You always have the choice of just waiting two weeks (or one week for 75% off). The repeating 20 bucks every update are so that I can keep doing this as a full-time job, thus delivering full-time work. I.e. monthly updates of consistently increasing quality.
No one is required to ever pay anything for Crimson High. The early access is solely a way for me to fund the game.
Sorry about that, mate. It's one of my personal dislikes and I can't bring myself to add breeding content or anything from that corner (pregnancy, lactation, mommy/age play, etc.) :P
Hey there, thank you so much for your kind comment!
Yes, there is actually a way in the game to reset the hamsters. If you're on Android, you'll find a fairly big "Unlock Hamsters" button. When you hold that for a moment, you should get a prompt asking you to confirm your choice of wanting to lock the hamster images again.
If you're on PC, things are a little bit more complicated and involve unlocking aforementioned button through means of an Easter Egg first: - Open your phone in-game and navigate to the character bio screen (the flaming black heart) - There, scroll down until you find Ino - Right-click Ino's image a few times (5 or 6, I think) until it says "Something has been unlocked." in the top left corner of your screen - Go to the hamster gallery - Right-click the now-available "Unlock Hamsters" button to get the same prompt I mentioned above in the Android explanation
Yeah, the choice will lock a few of her future scenes. There might come another point where you can acquire her phone number, but until then, all her individual scenes are tied to that choice.
Set >C2S93_hottie = "tsubaki"< to get onto her path (but off the others').
That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that CH was able to entertain you :P
The hamsters are indeed pretty small on mobile - I'm aware of that. They were never intended for the mobile version in the first place. I added them back when CH only had the PC/Linux/Mac versions and left them in for the Android version because of player feedback. For anyone who doesn't want to hunt tiny pixel-sized hamsters, though, I've added a button to simply unlock the whole hamster gallery on mobile. It can be found in the in-game phone's hamster gallery, to the right of the phone itself. It's not the greatest solution, but it lets people choose whether they want to kill their eyes looking for the tiny buggers, or just unlock the (optional) images and focus on the story.
The font color and outlines (as well as some other things) can indeed be changed in the in-game phone, as mentioned by the tutorial at the beginning. I'll reverse the default font color and outlines to white with a black border, though. That was intended to be the default anyway, but apparently something went wrong with that. So, thanks for letting me know.
Edit: I just checked and it was even worse than I had expected. The gray color wasn't even intended to be available as a choice at all. It's crazy that no one has mentioned it thus far, because it's been like that for way longer than I want to admit without me knowing about it. So, again, thank you for letting me know. This needed to be fixed real bad.
Haha, thanks a lot, mate. Yeah, waiting a couple updates is probably not a bad call. I'd likely do the same as a player. I wish I could create more content faster, but to do that, I'd have to sacrifice quality in some way, and I'm just not willing to do that.
Glad you enjoyed the game so far. See you in three updates. :P
Damn, how fast do you read?! I wish I could give you more, but I gotta create the content first lol Next update will be out within a few weeks, though!
Hmm, I assume you're talking about the image of Nagisa holding up the Discord invite sign? If so, I just checked that again and it's set to the correct link and works for me when I click it. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Maybe something about your browser or something?
Hey there! Honestly, that's mainly due to availability of assets in the software I use. A lot of the assets are Japanese in some way or another, so going with that made sense at the time. (I didn't know what I know now about texture editing etc.) Besides that, a Japanese setting appeals to a lot of people and is certainly more "interesting" than boring ol' Germany. Not to mention that I can't see myself making the characters visit an Oktoberfest or something lol
Hey there! Thanks for letting me know. As far as I can tell, the download works as intended, so I'm inclined to say it's something on your end. The game is uploaded directly to itch.io, so the only other option would be some issue with their download servers at the time. I assume it works by now. Let me know if you have similar issues in the future and I'll see what I can do. :)
Which one? There are quite a few. I thought I had fixed all of the broken ones. (If you're not playing on the newest version, chances are that the link you're talking about is already fixed)
Yep, indeed already known and fixed for the public release tomorrow. It's an issue with the order the messages are viewed in. If you read Yukari's messages first (while still in the elevator), it gets unlocked as intended. Thank you for mentioning it anyway, though. :)
Heh, we'll find out soon-ish what her thoughts on the matter are. Probably soon-ish, at least. I haven't written the content yet, so we'll see when exactly it happens lol
Hi there! I'm doing well, thank you for caring. :) If everything goes according to plan, Crimson High merch (possibly including Suzu dolls?) will be available sometime next year, so your wish might not be as far-fetched as you may think. :P Anyway, thanks for your kind words! I'll make sure to take care of myself and I hope you do the same for yourself. :)
Heya, mate! Not sure if you did, either, but I appreciate it anyway! It's nice to hear that my effort isn't in vain. :) And yes, you're correct. CH's updates release roughly every 4-5 weeks with the occasional outlier in one direction or the other. As you said, they aren't the biggest updates, but they add up, and I put a big focus on consistent(-ly improving) quality.
Thank you, my friend! Messages like this do wonders for my motivation and faith in what I do. :)
Hey there! Usually the version on F95 is the same as the one on here (I'm the one uploading CH there during the public release of each version) so I'm a bit confused as to why your labels are switched in the settings. I haven't touched the relevant code in months and in my version of the game, the sliders are labeled correctly. Should you play the next version and the issue persists, let me know and I'll see what I can do, okay?
Aside from that, thanks for your lovely review of CH! I appreciate that a lot, and I'm confident it'll help convince undecided players to give the game a try when they read it. :)
Sorry, mate, no official Russian version before the game is complete. Any Russian versions out there are fan-made and thus out of my control. I'd assume the newest update will get translated eventually, though?
