I just re-visited the game, and honestly compared to some of the western anime-like VNs I've been enjoying recently, this game is still up there in terms of dialogues. They're funny and charming without feeling like trying too hard, kinda like Hunny-Pop kind of comedy but toned down. Also Syd defending Jayda's art without telling anyone the secret was an awesome scene.

Finished a full Steph run, and I noticed some dialogues at her last FTE that reference the Equal Marriage Rights March like they were there before, so that's probably an oversight, but this Demo is a year ago so I can't be sure. Anyway I just wondering if there's a release date planned. My twitter account is down right now so I can only ask through itch.io I'm afraid.

Hello there!! Thanks so much for writing about LoveSick Darlings! I'm glad you enjoyed the conversations, they're easily what I'm most proud of in the game. I love this group of friends and thinking of fun silly things for them to talk about together is a great joy of mine. Syd defending Jayda from the shadows is a a scene that has become iconic to the LoveSick Darlings playerbase, and I'm glad that resonated with you too!

What you said about the Steph run has been noted! I know exactly what conversation you're talking about, and I had thought I fixed that problem...... however, clearly it's still occuring! I will dive into the code and fix up any loose ends I left behind. Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know!

Sadly, I have no news of a new release date. I grossly overestimated the Kickstarter release date and....... ever since, I've been very reluctant to put out a release window. Considering 2022 is nearly over, and the game is definitely not coming out this year, I think it's for the best that I wait until the last moment till I put out a release date. I'm sorry if that's disappointing, but I wanna be 100% transparent with everyone, and I also don't wanna let anyone down again with an incorrect release date!

Whenever you're back on Twitter, I suggest following the offical @LoveSick Darling account for all the latest news and updates! When this game gets a release date, Twitter will be the first to know! There also a bunch of surprises and announcements going up on Twitter every now and again, with the potential for a fun livestream-themed-surprise to be going up soon 👀

You're welcome! Syd is just a cool protagonist, I can definitely see why players prefer Jayda after the Demo, since we got one full Social Event dedicated to her, and if I'm guessing correctly, the next Social Event, the march in Sydney, is going to be Steph's time to shine. Maisy has some catching up to do it seems.

And I'm not trying to rush you with the release date or anything. I just think it's funny that a story which span about over a month in-universe time would take up so many words.

I'm glad you like Syd! And yes, Jayda has proven incredibly popular... I hope everyone gives the other characters a chance too though! I think they'll be pleasantly surprised at the depth of all the possible romantic relationships!

And yes, the march has a focus on Steph in particular... but you'll have a chance to spend time with everyone on the trip to Sydney (the city!). I hope everyone looks forward to it!

Also, Maisy has her dedicated birthday party at the end of the game, but aside from that... she finds a way to take some limelight during all the social events! ;)

It is definitely ironic that this game has taken so long despite the short literal timeframe of the setting lol!
