Do you have something you want to say or ask about the game? Feel free to do it here! This thread is intended to replace the Comments Section.

Can I send you an idea?

Developer

You’re welcome to pitch the idea here if you’re comfortable with it! Otherwise, we can figure out a way for you to send it to me privately.

You answered that RORY route is HYPER pregnancy is an option, but will the story be an bonus degree?

So would you still consider a larger size?

Developer

I would love to! However, it’s ultimately up to Marrazan, the artist, because he’s the one that has to draw them.

when do you plan to release a new update, at least approximately.
Developer(+1)

It's hard to say. Currently, Marrazan has other obligations to fulfill, so any art assets are indefinitely paused until he's free. In the meantime, I'm organising and condensing a lot of code. I hope to have something done and ready by July or August, but I don't want to make any promises.

Is it possible for me to play on mobile? If so how?

(+2)

Look into JoiPlay with the Ren’Py plugin for Android. Alternatively, wait for the next update since I think Remileah is planning on making an Android build alongside the next update.

Developer(+1)

This is true. I'm looking into installing the proper means to package and distribute an Android version, but it's been a little more complicated and frustrating than I thought it would be. That said, I will continue to chip away at it to get it working for all of the people wanting to play on mobile!

Make sure you have the latest of both JoiPlay and the Ren’Py plugin installed. The public releases can be found on the free JoiPlay Patreon.

Although if your phone is severely outdated, you may need to go back to older versions but that will require a ton of trial and error.

If you have future issues, you’ll have to either look to Google or official JoiPlay support. If you still can’t figure it out, you’ll either need to wait or find a PC to play on. I will not be able to solve any tech support issues you have as this is not the place for JoiPlay tech support.

thanks

What should I do when serving Deidra?

Drinks tend to have 4 ingredients total. 2 ingredient types have no alcohol. Feel free to experiment a bit more with that info in mind.

Hey boss! Bit of a weird question, but I figured asking lets other people know too: How do you operate the drink making minigame? Booted up for the first time on my Mac and got to making the first drink, only to try clicking on the ingredients, clicking on the NAME of the ingredients, and dragging them to the shaker, all with no visual success. This might be more suited to the bugs thread, but I don't know if it's really a bug or I'm simply VERY dumb.

Developer(+1)

You were collect when you were attempting to click-and-drag them to the shaker in the middle. You're supposed to just click on it, drag it, and release it on top. I haven't seen any other complaints about it not working, so I don't know if there's something else going on. :c It appears to have worked for everybody else so far.

Don't worry boss! I tried again and either I'm a fool or my mouse decided it didn't want to before, worked just fine now.

This game have so much potential. im actually looking to give you a huge tip cuz since a while we finally have someone to give us what we really want ENORMOUS BELLIES! haha thanks a lot and keep up the big work. cant wait to play the next update!!!

Such a question has Marazzan not continued working on the game yet or not?

Developer

Not yet! We're hoping he'll be able to resume at the beginning of next month.

Is there an android friendly version? Can't get it to play through joiplay because renpy is being an ass hat and not working.

Developer

I'll be trying to get an Android and iOS version uploaded with the next update. It's been a little complicated so far, but it is possible, and I don't want to release the next update without including it.

(+1)

Finally played it. Really good game! Sad that it was short! 

Has Marrazan returned yet?

can you make a browser version of the game i cant download it and i want to play it so i would be glad if you did

Developer

I'm afraid I don't know how to make a browser version, but I will try to look into it.

Have you stopped developing this game already?If it is still in production, I would like to know the current production status and update schedule. 

Developer

Nope! I'm still working on it. Progress has simply been going slow since I'm the only one doing all of the writing and coding, and I have a full-time job. Marrazan has also been busy with his work.

The current production status is mostly the same as the previous announcement: I'm still working on writing endings, programming gameplay changes, and adjusting/adding new stories and other options. The next update should have all the endings added and some mechanical adjustments.

As for a schedule, there isn't one. I work on this project when I have the time, so I can't promise updates on a consistent and reliable timeline.

I love the visual novel so far; it's simply one of the best I've seen in a while. I hope you continue the story even after this game is finished, perhaps even adding "bigger" events.
