It's just showing that the MC is getting comfortable enough with his sexuality to actually start noticing other men. You're reading WAY too much into something.

Aaah, I see what the issue is. I'll take this as an opportunity to redo the prologue skip screen entirely, actually. To both make it look better and also because having the choices be tailored to the last playthrough you did was, in retrospect, a terrible idea. If you played Jun's route, finished it and now want to play Keisuke's, you probably don't want the game to act like you chose to spend time with Jun every time.

Need more information than that. What path were you on. If you got the bad result to the previous day (i.e. Yuu and Sho neither get intimate nor make out and instead Shoichi pushes things too far), then you're on the path that hasn't been updated. It showing a transition instead of a game end screen is a bug.

If you're on one of the paths that DID get updated (either making out or sex), then post a screenshot of the last line of text you see before you try to procede and the game boots to the title screen.

If you have already gotten through character select once, the option will be presented, yes.

Yeah, but Keisuke also gets more practice, which means that even if the results don't overall change (as in, the point difference is the same), he can make rallies last longer and tire you out more, meaning Yuu crashes either way.

As in, which characters are patreon characters? Vic, Kiga, Alexander, Sora and Zinaida (though Zinaida has only appeared once in Keisuke's route so far).

Sadly, Kiga is a patreon character so he cannot get a route.

Civ was commissioned to compose proprietary music for it, yeah. I want to eventually replace all the royalty-free music in the game, it's just that with the focus on art assets, that isn't a fast process.

I've literally never heard of that. And no. Shoichi has a bad path, but there is no "hell" or attempted suicide in it.

It doesn't. I know what the blue sky is. It appears when you click New Game as that is the first scene (MC monologuing while watching the clouds). But the menu is supposed to appear there. I literally can't make it not appear on my end. I have no idea why it isn't working for you.

I'm not quite sure what to make of that. I can't replicate that problem at all. New Game always lands me at the start of the game with the dialogue working correctly on Android.

What do you mean the "skip all" setting isn't there sometimes? Skip all is always in the settings menu. Do you mean the "Skip to Next choice" setting? That one isn't going to do anything if you're going through content you haven't read before (and yeah, the button will disappear during parts where the UI is hidden, but those aren't super frequent).

As the original post states, old save data may break at any moment and there's nothing that can be done to avoid that. Use the 'Skip all' setting + "Skip to Next Choice" to get back to where you were before.

Can you tell me how you got that? I'm guessing you're on Android? Did you just hit New Game and it ended up like that? I can't replicate that issue on my end.

The UI is missing if you start a new game? It could be that your save files are broken and causing issues with the UI for some reason.

Yeaaah. I e-mailed itch to ask about the failure to deliver notifications and they never got back to me. Wasn't sure if this one was going to work, but alas, here we are.

Haruki's sprite is getting replaced with a new one, so that problem will be fixed soon.

I can't begin to try and figure out what the cause is without knowing what phone you have and what Android version it's running. Could you please let me know?

This has been fixed and will be in the next build. Thanks for the report!

Before posting an error report of some kind, here's a few things to keep in mind.

  • Make sure to tag it appropriately when posting. This helps to keep it organized in the post list.
  • Include the in-game day and route the error or typo appears in inside the title of your post. For example "[Day 28 - Jun] Crash during X scene". This will help the dev to navigate the script and find the error.
  • Describe the error and when it happens so it can be more easily reproduced. Try to write or screenshot the line before it occurs so it can be more easily discovered.

This post will get edited as time goes on to include the most asked questions by the playerbase here. If you have a question, make sure to check it here before posting on the forums to see if it's included.

- When does the game update?
Tennis Ace releases on Patreon (usually) at the last day of every month. Updates become public 14 days after initially being posted to Patreon. If you are unsure when the next update will come out, check Patreon to see when the previous update was posted.

- Which route will be updated next?
Updates cycle in a predefined order. They go Jun > Shoichi > Keisuke and then repeat. If you are unsure which character will be updated next, check which update came before. If the last update was for Keisuke, then the next one will be for Jun. If it was for Shoichi, the next one will be for Keisuke. So on and so forth.

- Who's the artist behind Tennis Ace?
All of the character art in the game is made by @Nyaruh who does the sprites, commissions, facial expressions, among others.

These are tested in my own phone before release, which is a Samsung. I didn't have any issues.

Yeaaaaaah, I have no desire in doing that sort of thing to myself. There's a reason I kept TA at only three love interests, even if I wished to develop other characters. I'm keeping my goals realistic and not putting too much on my plate so I don't burn out of it.

They are all converging back together. Path A and B all pretty much end at the same point. There will be minor differences in events, but there won't be a major split until close to the actual ending. I am not insane enough to do that to myself lol

'Go Blackgate'? This is a visual novel. Path splits are to be expected õ.o

More specifically, Aki helping Yuuichi out when Yuu is injured and has trouble bathing himself.

It's not a pun. He's just trying not to curse. Crap and carp are the same letters, just rearranged. He's censoring himself lol

It's been both planned and very subtly foreshadowed from the start.

Alex is a Patreon character. He belongs to the same person who owns Richard from Sins (who is also an insert character).

Cant really tell you why. I installed and tested it on my phone before release and it worked normally.

This is likely to do with your phone settings. It installs and runs just fine on mine, tho I do have it configured to allow installation of software from external sources.

I don't know what to tell you. It runs perfectly on my phone so I don't know why it might refuse to install.

Yeah. He never really thought of it. He's a thoughtless person in general. When Jun mentions that he 'probably' hurt those girls by doing that, he was horrified. He is stupid enough to genuinely believe that he handled things in the one way where no one gets hurt lol

Nah, he did have sex with his previous girlfriends. So much so that Aki mentions buying noise cancelling earbuds because of it in Keisuke's route.

He just didn't have feelings for any of the girls, hence he didn't care if they liked it or not, he was just going through the motions so he wasn't afraid of if it was a good experience and didn't worry about/for his partner. With the guy he's dating, he actually LIKES them and therefore performance anxiety, fear of doing it too soon, of something going wrong, etc etc.

He is talking about content from the Patreon exclusive version that hasn't come out on itch yet.

This is content from the Patreon release that isn't out here on itch yet, so you really shouldn't assume other people on here have played it yet.
