I have a question. On the description, you say that this will be an 18+ visual novel. As cuss words are somewhat "censored" in this game, what makes (or will make) this 18+?
I have just one other question though. Since in the description to the game, it says that the game will be 18+, will there be anything else other than swear words that will make this game 18+?
I'm simply just absolutely fascinated by this game as it has already become one of my top favorite visual novels of all time
I was just curious and was kind of nervous to just say what I was thinking aloud and that's why I was vague in my question, so thank you for the clarification and good luck on your VN, man
I'll try to see what I can do about becoming a Patron to help you out ^.^
Just went through the 0.09 update, I absolutely love it so far. The characters are so expressive, its great <3 Also love the little touch on the main menu screen that I'm guessing shows which route you're currently on.
realmente me encanta esta vs, es supero genial y gracioso las conversaciones de los personajes, me parece muy lindo rask, es muy inocente y es una manera interesantes de ver un protagonista con inseguridad, pero solo diré que aveces deberías justificar lo que piensa el protagonista y lo que dice porque aveces me confundo pero en el resto esta bien, todo el tema de las pequeñas animaciones como el parpadeo de los personas y el movimiento de cosas como las gotas de sudor o lagrimas es lo mas innovador que he visto en una VS, sigue asi ya no puedo esperar para ver que mas le depara al protagonista
I really love this vs, it is super cool and funny the conversations of the characters, I find it very nice rask, it is very innocent and it is an interesting way to see a protagonist with insecurity, but I will only say that sometimes you should justify what the protagonist thinks and what it says because sometimes I get confused but the rest is fine, the whole theme of small animations like the blinking of people and the movement of things like drops of sweat or tears is the most innovative thing I've seen in a VS Keep it up I can't wait to see what else the protagonist has in store
but if your original language is english why maccon sometimes talk in spanish? (because he is mexican?, for what i see where the game happen is a place where the mexican,american and japanese colture coexist,correct me if i'm bad though :v)
a ok, i was asking because i think you only were translated everything for google translate xd sorry, but i wan a ask something too, why in the version 9.0 only you can make the jhon route? (because you only can go to the right so you can't meet rask or maccon so...that is a programming error o you disabled for a change later?, i don't now very much of program but a little thing know, my english is not very good sorry xd, and too for the many questiongs :v)
I have to say, Socially Awkward is an interesting take on the back and forth personality of someone with insecurities ( I imagine that's what you were going for? Please correct me if I'm wrong ). Jayce is a genuinely fun character to play, I like how spontaneous he can be, both for good and bad. Also, it's great that you gave us lithe, ripped and muscular romance options, thank you for that.
Character design wise, I have to admit that they all look great, especially after the redesigns, Rask looks like a completely new character (face wise) and honestly he is really cute, though John's pose looks awkward to me (looks strenuous to hold it). Their personalities are all really unique as well, Tom was very surprising to me, while John felt like an amazing best friend.
It's a bit short storywise to get a proper idea of it other than it's focused around insecurities of school/real life, and how each character helps ease them for you (at least that's what I thought from the description and playing it) but it's intriguing regardless and I'm very much looking forward to whatever is planned for future updates.
Overall it's a really good game from the little that's available, I haven't noticed any bugs or mistakes, though I see some have, but that's tied to loading old saves. So, great job with it and I cant wait to see more!
Oh my GOD , i love It , everything , RASK LOOKS SO CUTEEEE AHHHHHH -W-, i LOVE the new MC desing, this literally help me with my depression, i missed feeling this happy, and cole Is hot like omg, this novel Is amazing (≧▽≦)
so, uhhhhhh, the features on the characters are missing whenever i load my saves and if i start a new game the Rask route is gone, and that was the one i was going for. help ?
so i have played a bit. it's seems that the creator remove or (hide) macco route, or lets say its under development again. well that's totally understandable, since there are so much character rework and dialogue fixing. so if there any glitch or broken char model in any route. That's mean you weren't suppose to be in that route. because its under development. keep up your good work creator (/^3^)/. i'll wait for macco route fully developed. (smokin hot macco) (^///^) (curse my unholy brain). great work on the char remake btw. byee (0w0)/.
What does placeholder mean? I'm the starting point and after a while instead of a character there is character schetch in black saying placeholder..is it normal?
Thanks for answering! When I finished the game I noticed it was small so I went back to the page and I noticed that it didn't say 0.8 but 0.08 so I just misread it xD I'm wearing glasses but I guess I'm still blind :^ oh well..I can't wait till the update! Keep updating this! It's so entertaining and nice ! (Can't wait for the hot stuff too ;^)
hey im just gonna say this but to me, john's posture looks really..... weird. im not complaining but it doesn't look natural to me than the others. sorry buit your visual novel is cool.
I love it, there really isnt much more too say, I just love every single bit about it so far, the characters look Amazing and I love the drawings aswell, you're doing such a amazing job. It made me laugh so many times already, and I hope you will keep workin on this for a long time :3
So, I just played through the update and overall, I enjoyed it! Always great to see more Mac! But I just have a couple of thoughts:
1) This is really minor, all things considered, and maybe this is just me, but I've never heard of a college/university with such a relaxed dress code having policies against hair dye. Also, considering how much variability there can be for hair/fur patterns and colors between species, having specific policies against hair dying doesn't really seem viable, at least to me.
2) Now for a somewhat bigger issue. This is a problem I've seen in more than a few games lately, but - in the U.S., at least - there are very explicit regulations on what teachers are and are not allowed to do to and with students, including and especially at the college level. What Cole does towards the end of this update would never fly in a legitimate college; Cole not only harassed Jayce, but, by the LEGAL definition, physically and verbally assaulted him as well. Whether it's at a low-end community college or a school as high end as it's implied the characters are going to, there's no way the administration would just allow a teacher to do something like that without repercussion, especially considering the implication by Zale that this is neither the FIRST time Cole has done something like this, nor the most violent act he's committed against a student.
I wouldn't usually bring this sort of thing up because these sort of games are meant to be played with some suspension-of-disbelief (for obvious reasons), but lately, in more than a few games set in a college or university, I've been seeing this trend of teachers being allowed to get away with things that, at best, are extremely suspect, and at worst, should get them arrested. In the end, it's not really something to get that upset over, given these are fictional characters in fictional worlds, but seeing this sort of thing appearing more and more in games and being presented like it's something normal or common just gets to me...
tl;dr - I don't really understand the university's apparent policy against hair dye based on its rather lenient dress code. Also, Cole literally assaulted Jayce on screen and is implied to have not only done similar things to students in the past, but done them rather frequently.
Okay, I've ranted enough for one update; just felt I needed to bring these things up...

It's been amazing watching this VN grow. The detail and livelihood of the characters is fantastic too. Can't wait to see it grow more!
I absolutely love this game so far!!
I have a question. On the description, you say that this will be an 18+ visual novel. As cuss words are somewhat "censored" in this game, what makes (or will make) this 18+?
keep up the great work!
Some of the words are meant for copyrights but you're right, wasn't sure if I should censore the swear words.
Lol, alright, that does make sense
I have just one other question though. Since in the description to the game, it says that the game will be 18+, will there be anything else other than swear words that will make this game 18+?
I'm simply just absolutely fascinated by this game as it has already become one of my top favorite visual novels of all time
It is a romance visual novel 939 so.... it should be 18+? xDa
I can't wait!
I was just curious and was kind of nervous to just say what I was thinking aloud and that's why I was vague in my question, so thank you for the clarification and good luck on your VN, man
I'll try to see what I can do about becoming a Patron to help you out ^.^
\ >w</ thanks!
The characters sprites in this game are so expressive and lively !!!! I love that so much, it really makes this game special. Great work !!!!!
Jayce is such a cutie, I love his and John's back and forth
Oi Oi Oi Oiii!!!!...... *Sniff* i wasn't to talk to Maccon ....
Anyway, Nice Update on Johns Route
Jayce looks so handsome in his new hairstyle
I just find out a unimportant bug
When you choose "Dance" and then "Rethink", Jayce will still sweating even you choose "Tennis" σ`∀´)σ
Wooh! 939 a persistence bug! Thanks >wO/ *fixed*
Love how expressive and alive your characters are, both in writing and sprites. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
shouldn't you update the screenshots on the front page here since Rask is now Rockin a totally new look? ;)
Edit: nvm everything is up to date now.
Actually I need to Agree! Cuz..... Nevermind
Just went through the 0.09 update, I absolutely love it so far. The characters are so expressive, its great <3 Also love the little touch on the main menu screen that I'm guessing shows which route you're currently on.

It's clear you had a lot of fun making this game, and as a result the characters are all extremely likable. good shit :)
9w9 really? You dont see it?
my bad U////U sorry
so, uhhhhhh, the features on the characters are missing whenever i load my saves and if i start a new game the Rask route is gone, and that was the one i was going for. help ?
# All routes are locked to John's.
yeah but why?, i wanted to have Rask as a route, will he atleast be an option later in game ??
based on Mochi xD
https://monchimutt.itch.io/socially-awkward/devlog/140735/socially-awkward-009
so i have played a bit. it's seems that the creator remove or (hide) macco route, or lets say its under development again. well that's totally understandable, since there are so much character rework and dialogue fixing. so if there any glitch or broken char model in any route. That's mean you weren't suppose to be in that route. because its under development. keep up your good work creator (/^3^)/. i'll wait for macco route fully developed. (smokin hot macco) (^///^) (curse my unholy brain). great work on the char remake btw. byee (0w0)/.
So was it just me or is anyone else game glitching with models either not showing up or being in the wrong place or having features missing?
me too actualy. but it seems they remove macco route since now you can't pick direction on the first choice you made in this vn
# All routes are locked to John's.
You have to delete the old version of Socially Awkward before downloading the newest update
I'm so hyped to see Tom's route next 😍
Why Android version it's just 0.07?
Androids a weird .3.a still figuring out how it works.
MORE!!!!!!
i love everything about this game, i can relate so much to the main character making it a much better experience. keep up the awesome work ;>
Wow! I'm loving this so far but i'm curious if there is going to be 18+ content? With the story so far I wouldn't mind if not.
*Slaps a 18+ in the desription* Officially, it is now \ .3./ lol~
ok, now I'm in love with this vn. Watch out for your new supporter this month!
What does placeholder mean? I'm the starting point and after a while instead of a character there is character schetch in black saying placeholder..is it normal?
It means the character is still in developement, which he's already is in the next update :3
Thanks for answering! When I finished the game I noticed it was small so I went back to the page and I noticed that it didn't say 0.8 but 0.08 so I just misread it xD I'm wearing glasses but I guess I'm still blind :^ oh well..I can't wait till the update! Keep updating this! It's so entertaining and nice ! (Can't wait for the hot stuff too ;^)
Compatability. If one doesn't work, the other should .3.a
Eyes, Lips, Eyes, Scratching finger. lol :D

I love it, there really isnt much more too say, I just love every single bit about it so far, the characters look Amazing and I love the drawings aswell, you're doing such a amazing job. It made me laugh so many times already, and I hope you will keep workin on this for a long time :3

unfortunately, if you mean an iphone, its impossible.
dang ok, thx for letting me know!❤️ and I love the game btw! I’ve seen the play through and it’s amazing!!!❤️❤️❤️
[SPOILERS AHEAD; READ AT YOUR OWN RISK]
So, I just played through the update and overall, I enjoyed it! Always great to see more Mac! But I just have a couple of thoughts:
