So I finished my first play-through yesterday. It was fun but I didn't get much of an ending. I didn't even see two of the backgrounds from the images on this page. I'm looking forward to trying some different paths next time!
Yo! Found a spelling error. When in the place where you eat with Tom, Jayce starts speaking about his childhood hero, he mentions: "He only does it to >>>villians<<<"
just finished all the content the game has to (currently) give and my god coming from playing 2 VNs with heavy topics this is a nice change of pace!! the goofiness of this VN is very funny and I cannot wait for more!
I'm starting the game from scratch, and I'm going through Maccon's route again and honestly came to see if there was any announcement of David getting a route. You're spending so much time with him now!
I know multiple people have requested it and I liked someone's suggestion of him having a birthday shortly after starting college so he'd be legal.
Aside from John, he's honestly my favorite character... while Maccon's my least favorite.
If it's not much to ask, please tell me which version of Android works with you guys .w./ So that I can tally and see which one actually works for everyone.
Is it possible to color-code the android downloads to know which is the new one? Its rather annoying having to download the apk and install it just to see the "Can't Install" logo because its the wrong apk >3<
I have tried both versions 10 times(redownload) and I always get black screen of death after launch on Android. I spent 10 hours trying to get it to load and it hasn't worked so figure I should report it.
6w6 I hate android... =3=a only suggestion I can make (Since I can only depend on Renpy's compiler) is to download the PC version and download and use Joi player in the playstore.
I played this VN months ago, and I decided to come back to this now to see its progress. I was really surprised at how there was a complete rewrite of the entire story, and not to mention there was barely any progress from where I left.
Okay, um... you're going to barely progress this way (mostly as a writer) if you keep on doing this.
I'd like to say that the VN is kind of 90% dialogue and 10% narration to me. (Whether this is good or bad, I don't know. This is a visual novel, and so, the art, images, and sfx already satisfy the reader when they read.)
To me, the narration or writing style felt more plot-driven or straight-forward. Of course, I still found the flowery language that's present.
Jayce's childish and goofy nature is really evident throughout the entire story. Maccon's character gives off 'big daddy' vibes (asides from the external looks). John is the naughty kind of boy while David has the enigmatic, quiet troublemaker trope I guess. As for Tom, eh, he's more of a friendly brother, I guess?
Personally, there were scenes that I found quite boring or slow, not much going on and kind of meh.
I've yet to go to the other routes, so I don't really have all that much to say.
Overall, I don't hate it. The best advice I have to say is, to literally just keep on going. Don't rewrite again unless you're finished or you have something that fundamentally changes the story. It can be bothersome to the readers, but hey, it's your story.
okay so i just starting the new update and i got to say, you should TOTALLY add that "why are you running" meme audio to the game, not only is it a missed opportunity if there is a visual novel it fits so well with in terms of goofiness its this one X3
Ok i have some problems with the android build. It starts up normally with the renpy logo but then the game doesnt start. I managed to get it to work once but most of the time after the renpy logo it will just be a black screen. No idea what could be the problem.
I tried both but for both the same outcome. And I tried it several times and only got it to work twice. I dunno what i did differently to open the game normally those two times, it seems random if it decides to work or not. And if i close the app after it just worked it will not work again after.
Well it seems I'm the only one with that problem, so thats good. Also I played through the Tom update so I wont open the game until the next update again. So I just hope the next updates android version won't have that problem. Maybe it was just a one time fluke. Take your time with the next update nwn!
when I saw this game I could not wait to see what happens next and I ship Mac and jay all the way! and him with Rask and Tom I how to see the next update be bigger than the last! but I can wait to so don't worry I won't rush you.
I find this vn too relatable personally to give proper criticism. What I will say is take your time with it(with the sick-neck-thing) and make sure your heart is in it. Love this vn and find the art and animation beautiful.
I will try to find some healthy criticism to give, but that'll have to wait until future updates or I play it enough times. Either way, keep up the great work! :)
I love how the characters act to different things, also when Jayce needs to eat, and just goes OMNOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOM like crazy, no fucks or anything
The sprites are great, the animations are good and flow well. Some moments with the autoscroll are good and pretty charming as well. Music while being mainly or completely royalty free fits the scenes and doesn't detract from the overall experience.
The humor is crude and personally annoying, but that's a matter of taste. Sexuality is depicted in such a hilariously infantile way that it makes me question whether this is supposed to parody or sincerely represent gay men. These are college students, not middle schoolers just getting their first real kick of testosterone. I sincerely hope some of these "death scenes" get cut from the final release as whatever message or moral you're trying to present regarding social anxiety and trauma gets completely shattered by mood whiplash when you stumble upon one of these.
I don't struggle with social anxiety so I can't comment on the accuracy of its portrayal here. The story is paced a little awkwardly but I wasn't too bothered. That being said, the latest update felt very vapid. A large part of text seemed to be dedicated to fanservice without regard for the core of the story. I do find it hard to believe someone like Jayce who overthinks simple customer service interactions would be able to call a man he just met a "huge slab of meat on the sidewalk". This makes it seem like interactions are comprised of canon and noncanon tongue-in-cheek moments which make it really hard to follow any outline for Jayce's character. This isn't brave of pushing boundaries, it's just getting unreadable. I hope you realize where I'm getting with this. Some fluff is fine, but this is dripping with excess.
Minor spoilers here.
The scene preceded by the very first set of choices in the game leading Jayce to have a panic attack is done pretty well. Sound effects, out-of-bounds text and blurred vision combine to show a harrowing scene where the main character loses control over his mind and body. This scene ends with a teacher offering assistance and we're almost immediately greeted with the text: "Your panic attack was conquered by the power of sexy."
This isn't cute. If you want this to be taken seriously, then write seriously. If not, congratulations, you've created mockery. I don't know what your intentions for this visual novel are, but so far it seems you're more interested in writing pornography. If so, I wish you all the best and I hope your patrons will be satisfied with your work. If you're trying to write something substantive, then I will pray you find the courage to approach your work with more honesty and take yourself more seriously. That is all.
How dare you give me good criticism that I've been asking for months now! >:( *Upvotes*
.3./ All I can reply to the weird nature of my writing is the "Cultural Difference". >3Ob that's all, thanks for the criticism btw! Also he's not a teacher o3o~
I'd like to suggest something, though I won't pressure you to add this/these.
> Adding a time limit to routes - A story with a limit may be a way to plan ahead and set the plots and events to specific days for a faster development (not really). Like for example, 20 days like in Sileo, a month like in Morenatsu, or just leave it the way it is now and the point of the story will still get across like Kingsguard, which has no actual timeline (observation? I dunno the word).
- David is kinda cute ( understatement ), and some of us may want a route of him. Maybe his birthday would be soon added near the start of the story, so that he'd be legible to date, then at the rest of his route after his birthday, Jayce would be developing his feelings for him and eventually leading to... you know..
(. _. )
>More bachelors- Maybe this will be added in the future for more content, but having less bachelors means more concentration on a certain route/story and less distraction and pessure.
Once again, I'm not pressuring you to add all of these, I don't want to be the cause of anything bad happening to you, your health is important to us, we support you, Laban lang lods ^w^
Agreed, I'd quite like a route with David myself. He seems charming, and very handsome/sexy to boot for that matter! Would be highly appreciated if you did deign to add a route for him down the road!
Otherwise the humor is great so far, and looking forward to learning more about the characters!

So I finished my first play-through yesterday. It was fun but I didn't get much of an ending. I didn't even see two of the backgrounds from the images on this page. I'm looking forward to trying some different paths next time!

Hello, I'm new here and I'm using an Android, but there are 3 versions you can download? Which one should I choose to download?
Try the universal one .w./ the last one on the list.
Yo! Found a spelling error. When in the place where you eat with Tom, Jayce starts speaking about his childhood hero, he mentions:
"He only does it to >>>villians<<<"
Welp, time for my cheeks to be hurting from constant smiling. :3
just finished all the content the game has to (currently) give and my god coming from playing 2 VNs with heavy topics this is a nice change of pace!! the goofiness of this VN is very funny and I cannot wait for more!

I'm starting the game from scratch, and I'm going through Maccon's route again and honestly came to see if there was any announcement of David getting a route. You're spending so much time with him now!
I know multiple people have requested it and I liked someone's suggestion of him having a birthday shortly after starting college so he'd be legal.
Aside from John, he's honestly my favorite character... while Maccon's my least favorite.

Is it possible to color-code the android downloads to know which is the new one? Its rather annoying having to download the apk and install it just to see the "Can't Install" logo because its the wrong apk >3<
They're all new ;3;/ the problem is that some people can't get it to work on some versions!
May I ask why there are 3 android Downloader?
There's so many people having trouble with each version /;w;\
Ooohhhh okay, thanks for the answer
I'm glad we finally know Jayce's height in comparison to other characters.
does the sport you pick matter to the intended route
I have tried both versions 10 times(redownload) and I always get black screen of death after launch on Android. I spent 10 hours trying to get it to load and it hasn't worked so figure I should report it.
6w6 I hate android... =3=a only suggestion I can make (Since I can only depend on Renpy's compiler) is to download the PC version and download and use Joi player in the playstore.
I know of that work around but the only issue is that I will have to reinstall rather than update so saves won't work between versions.
6w6a sorry.
Tom + Jayce forever! Cutest couple.
Finally a new update
I played this VN months ago, and I decided to come back to this now to see its progress. I was really surprised at how there was a complete rewrite of the entire story, and not to mention there was barely any progress from where I left.
Okay, um... you're going to barely progress this way (mostly as a writer) if you keep on doing this.
I'd like to say that the VN is kind of 90% dialogue and 10% narration to me. (Whether this is good or bad, I don't know. This is a visual novel, and so, the art, images, and sfx already satisfy the reader when they read.)
To me, the narration or writing style felt more plot-driven or straight-forward. Of course, I still found the flowery language that's present.
Jayce's childish and goofy nature is really evident throughout the entire story. Maccon's character gives off 'big daddy' vibes (asides from the external looks). John is the naughty kind of boy while David has the enigmatic, quiet troublemaker trope I guess. As for Tom, eh, he's more of a friendly brother, I guess?
Personally, there were scenes that I found quite boring or slow, not much going on and kind of meh.
I've yet to go to the other routes, so I don't really have all that much to say.

This update was amazing! I loved the ending so much :3
Huh by the way the updates went I thought John was next.
Ok i have some problems with the android build. It starts up normally with the renpy logo but then the game doesnt start. I managed to get it to work once but most of the time after the renpy logo it will just be a black screen. No idea what could be the problem.
Did you try the other version? .3./There are two since some people can't start with the other, unfortunately.
I tried both but for both the same outcome. And I tried it several times and only got it to work twice. I dunno what i did differently to open the game normally those two times, it seems random if it decides to work or not. And if i close the app after it just worked it will not work again after.
Hmm 6w6a I dunno what to do.
Well it seems I'm the only one with that problem, so thats good. Also I played through the Tom update so I wont open the game until the next update again. So I just hope the next updates android version won't have that problem. Maybe it was just a one time fluke. Take your time with the next update nwn!
Tom is so, so sweet ;w; I love him so much~
A game to truly describe my life
Emotional gay nervous wreck
Aren't we all? lol
touché
when I saw this game I could not wait to see what happens next and I ship Mac and jay all the way! and him with Rask and Tom I how to see the next update be bigger than the last! but I can wait to so don't worry I won't rush you.
I find this vn too relatable personally to give proper criticism. What I will say is take your time with it(with the sick-neck-thing) and make sure your heart is in it. Love this vn and find the art and animation beautiful.
I will try to find some healthy criticism to give, but that'll have to wait until future updates or I play it enough times. Either way, keep up the great work! :)
i don't think a vn has ever made me laugh more then this one did !
I Love every single character their interactions with eachother the Humour the animations,Jayce's Expression sprites the writing, just woah @o@ .
I hope you get better Monchi just know that a lot of people here support you !
lots of love <333
I love how the characters act to different things, also when Jayce needs to eat, and just goes OMNOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOM like crazy, no fucks or anything
t'was my first time going down maccon's route

.3./ All I can reply to the weird nature of my writing is the "Cultural Difference". >3Ob that's all, thanks for the criticism btw! Also he's not a teacher o3o~
the "cultural difference" writing sounds like 13y/o wattpad writing
Just because it's criticism, you shouldn't blindly take it as valid, though. I find the characters' behaviour perfectly relatable for young adults.
Hey monchi :3
