Beta ($20+ Patrons) - October 21st Patron-only - October 28th Public (Steam/Itch) - November 11th
RJ posted that she will probably finish ahead of schedule and asked her patrons if they'd prefer earlier release or more content, and they chose more content. So the dates will most likely be the ones above.
stumbled over this by chance - and I am impressed, well-written, different chars, a plot I want to follow and good visuals (only the animations loops could be slightly longer and smoother).
the gui and UX is generally nice, with one exception: too many chars to follow, and I *always* forget whose story line I already finished :)
as introducing a new variable is probably overkill I abused your hint system: if "<char>hint1" starts with "You have seen all" I added an overlay to the character card overview. Visually not the best approach (better is maybe something like a green check mark), but you'll get the idea.
the blue ones are my addition, triggered with (more or less the same idea as the yellow borders you already use)
if gertrudehint1.startswith('You have seen all '):
add "affectionmenudone.webp" xalign 0.03 + (platexspacing*2) yalign 0.1
Hey, that's a pretty cool idea. I'm actually changing up that menu quite a bit in the next update though, to make it more clear. I got rid of the affection points completely and have scenes unlocked based on what previous scenes and conversations you've had with a character. And instead of showing a number of affection points on that screen, it'll show the completion percentage. That should help quite a bit with who you have completed content for.
Then that's what it is. There is no way to "end" any character's story at the moment, because the game is still in development. Current update is #12 of 20 planned.
are you going to make any more great stories like this one ? if yes can't wait and will it be more surprise routes like Bai and the MC in this beautifully done storyline.
Thank you. I do have more games planned for once this one is finished, but I won't be done with this one for a couple more years. (We're on update 12 out of 20 right now).
I would love for more scenes with the English teacher husband like maybe he can get more involved with them and I love Adrian so much 🥰 you’re amazing for making this game
I'm not very far into the game, as I only started last night. But I really like how you have the game structured. The freedom of choice and no time limit in getting to know each character, is fantastic. I would love to see other creator's do something similar. Keep up the great work.
How do I download this for Android? I've played Ren'py ganes before and know the general way. I downloaded android files, tried to extract to downloads using RAR but it extracted in seperate folders instead of one Come Home folder. Even when I made a new folder for it to be extracted to I could not locate an executable file. Kinda stuck as to what to do
You shouldn't have to extract anything. The android download is an .apk file which should just install once you run it in android. Make sure you select the android option on the download page.
so gonna just download and play the game as is. i see there is a patch...any particular reason i need this right away? or only download it in in case of a bug or something?
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by a patch. There's no patch for the game. I release updates every three months or so (new one on the 15th) that is the complete game with additional content.
alright my bad, maybe it's just something to do with the itch.io app... I checked both the website and the app, so essentially double checking both. But it's good to know I only need the one file. Thanks for the quick response!
Glad you're enjoying the game! Thanks so much for the kind words.
I do plan on translating the game, but not until it is completely finished. It feels like it would be better to pay somebody to translate it all at once than to pay somebody every update that is released.
Compliments on the game. Well written and well handled.
I have found a couple of glitches. You may have already sorted them out but I'll log them here anyway just in case.
First up, depends on just plain dumb luck timing.
If you spend the night with Mari on exactly the same night that the Kendra waterskiing sequence is triggered on the following morning, you will go to sleep in Mari's bed at her place and be woken up in your own bed by Kendra's call. I don't think sleep teleportation is a normal part of the plot. ;) And I can't help picturing Mari going "Where the hell did he go?" the next morning. Plus, your car apparently teleports back with you as well.
Second is that if you decide to not play through Adrian's path after the announcement sequence but still occasionally game with the character you will get the phone call for the movie date discussing a previous sexual encounter your character was never on.
If you spend the night with Mari on exactly the same night that the Kendra waterskiing sequence is triggered on the following morning, you will go to sleep in Mari's bed at her place and be woken up in your own bed by Kendra's call.
had something similar: when Mari calls at night to help her with the sheep the next morning is him with the borrowed overalls on the farm. But somehow a phone call (in my case a visit to Whitney's lab) magically clean his original clothes.
is it possible for more interesting new characters coming soon or no? i'm enjoying each characters route so far i'm doing Jamie, bai, suzy and Brandi's route
Hi, I like the game a lot :-) The story is very nice. I have a suggestion for the voice option (V key). I would appreciate to be able to select a different (male) voice for sentences said by a male character and another (female) voice for sentences said by a female character. Additionally, there could be an option to skip the name labels ("Suzy:", "Jamie:", etc.). I have checked the control panel in Win10 and there are more english voices available. I am only able to change the voice for the whole game.
First time playing a VN, and I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you RJ! I liked the depth without pretension, and the overall tone of the game.
It's surprising how several of the characters grew on me in just a short amount of time. It's just so well made! At first it was Jamie and Dana who were just so sweet and inviting, but eventually it's Mari, Jez and Suzy that got me hooked.
Well, I liked Ms. Welch and Izzy a lot too. Plus Brandi and Whitney and Mi-Cha... er, maybe every girl, lol, even the stranger girl at the cafe. There's something for almost everyone here I guess. And I appreciate how there are different body types and sizes. I've seen other screenshots of other games where it's all about bust sizes and it really just wasn't working (for me at least).
But what I find most amazing is the story about the MC's dad and how that plot seems to be reflecting how a game like this is played. Particularly with the back/undo button. I'm still on the edge of my seat on how that story develops.
Also, I don't mind how most choices seem to lead to one direction, except for the ones that ends a progression for a particular character. I know it's complicated to have decisions that branch out to create alternate storylines, but if that ever gets a massive update, it would be a blast for sure.
Without resetting, is there any way to re-enable routes? I believe I've locked out Brandi's route because I declined an invitation to dinner on a day I was busy. Clicked the heart to enable it again but I don't think it's letting me.
Hey there - sorry for the slow response. She should call you back if her heart is enabled. If you're still having trouble with it, getting on the Discord and asking for help there is the quickest way to get an answer.
Hi thanks for adding another Dana scene! really. not to seem ungrateful but going buy the her story she needs sexual release. so if you see it in your heart to add a choice in file room menu so you give her the second file room scene would allow you to be fair to her needs. love your game! you have great sense of humor I laugh till I cry on some of the scenes. Thanks and Great work!
Really liked it. It's already good and have lots of potential to be even better. Congratz.
I think it would be cool to advance the storylines of a character without the sexual/romantic relation. I wasn't really interested in advancing this type of relation with some characters but would still like to see the side story developing.
I didn't really liked that tammy broke her promise to suzy ( and dont know if i could do that differently) i guess this conflict is part of her character arc but if i had the option to do it differently i think i would.
The stories looks to run fine in parallel but i have some worries when they interact with others. The stories of izzy and reba are connected with jez and the content ended there for now so i still dont know how each affects one another. The point is, i had the impression that some inconsistencies occured (mentions to things that didn't happen, or someone knowing something that shouldn't) and now that the characters are interacting with each other this is going to be pretty hard to handle.
In the late game, when most part of the content was already played. It started to get boring to go to school and work everyday ( to real, to scary hahaha) and i kinda of skipped some speeches (like a certain character about furries). Just sharing the feeling.
You have a very diverse selection of kinkies and the chance to educate us about them. I find it very nice.
I think you have a real good game with so much potential. I look forward to where you are going with this. I do have some comments that you may consider:
1. Game note: when Tammy and the main character are on the bench for their date, they talk about dick sucking and pussy fingering, yet I made it a point on a second go-around to choose not to engage, and yet the characters still say this. Either don't make the sex scenes optional, or you will have to fix the date on the bench dialogue.
2. Rather than SAYING "Ends story w/Ms. Welsh," consider programming into the story that she becomes cold, and thus get the point across through the story action and not mere words.
3a. The Suzy--Tammy storyline is so well done-better than all the others, though nothing against the others. I think you injected a nice amount of intimacy into the story and anticipation. And this leads me to a separate yet related point:
3b. I like the way you keep some of the characters a bit innocent - at least until things really change. This gives a unique voice to your characters. You don't want them all to sound the same, and I am not saying they do, but some have a similar tone. It is this with any kind of storytelling - you want the voice to be unique for each character. You did a good job of this for the most part. Going forward, don't be afraid to really maintain a bit of innocence or reticence on part of some characters (while others are downright sex-hungry). Hell, if you never got us to Suzy and the main character actually having great sex, but just a whole lot more teasing, you would not have hurt your storyline or success - it would keep your fans crazy on the edge.
Hope these are of some value. I think your product is great, and you should be proud.
Literally my favorite VN, it was the first one I played and it did the entire genre great justice. It was funny, intriguing, sexy, and fun. The characters are unique and fun, and very cute. Especially Reba and Adrian. Brandi's character was unlike anything I've seen before, the chat was hilarious and it is one of the highlights of the game. I'm glad you had included Bai and Adrian into this game it really added some diversity and their dates were all very cute. Speaking of diversity there lies 1 of 3 faults in this game, the first is Izzy's character. We really don't see as much of her as I would have hoped, it is just mostly at the park, the second thing about her is that she is a pretty stereotypical black character, I mean, her whole character is that she fucks, listens to music, and smokes weed. I know that you're barely halfway-done with the game but I just wanna see more than that from her character. The second is from the MC himself, he's pretty shallow for the main character, the only thing we know is just really basic things about him. I would love to see more of his backstory besides just quantum physics and Brazil. And the last, and most crippling, is that it ends. Just kidding, I wish there was more but I know how VN’s take time and especially big ones like this. But it’s pretty crazy out of all of the content there were only 2 flaws that I could find, writing was 10/10 gammer had no mistakes that I could see, but then again I'm not an author, the animations and character development is, again, 10/10. Everything about this game is just great, and I could not recommend it enough. And after playing a bunch of VN’s and Dating Sims, I always see myself playing this game over and over again. I just want to see more. I really hope you see this and know, you got something special here, and know that I love it. I really hope we all don't inflate your ego with all the positive praise because it really is a good game. I would give it a 9.5/10, you have got yourself a new supporter here on patreon and i'll be sure to throw you a couple bucks whenever I can. Sorry for the essay but I just love this game. :)
I think by the end of the story, you will like Izzy's character more. There's a bit of a turn in her storyline, starting with the next update, that changes things.
Hey! Seems I messed up with Tammy. I can't complete the "training for Tammy's fight" scene. I'm 8/8 affection with her, unlocked all other events and convos. Did I mess something up or its bugged ? Thanks, really enjoying your game, looking forward to updates.
This game is such good, hoping to see more games from the creator, please support R.J Rhodes on patreon, this guy deserves it, and in the next chapter please add more actions and some other fetishes and more scenes with Dana
FEEDBACK !!! i have just found a error in one of the scenes when the guy got to see Mrs Spann to sign up for college to finish his cause as you might not have noticed there is a GAP of about 5MM where her body and chair end a gap and then the start of desk she's sat at i take she should had ben sat and the desk WITHOUT a gap !!! i was not sure if you was aware of this or not.

Next Update ?
At the moment it looks like
Beta ($20+ Patrons) - October 21st
Patron-only - October 28th
Public (Steam/Itch) - November 11th

Hello. I notice this game has a Linux build on Steam, but not here on itch. Possible to have the Linux build available to download on itch.io as well?
Thank you
Ah, nm, just downloaded and see how it works now. Seeing just the windows icon in the download through me off :)
Sorry bro, may I know what did you use to make the 3D character?
All the renders are done in Daz3D Studio.
i need a tutorial for mi-cha, i have been trying to end the story with her but is very hard
There is an in-game hint system. Go to the heart menu, click Mi-Cha, and see what her hint says.
But it says that i already have seen all micha content and i will see more on the next update
Then that's what it is. There is no way to "end" any character's story at the moment, because the game is still in development. Current update is #12 of 20 planned.
are you going to make any more great stories like this one ? if yes can't wait and will it be more surprise routes like Bai and the MC in this beautifully done storyline.

Hi RJ,
First thing, great game. Everything is just amazing. I've been following development for a while and something came to my mind.
Are you planning on translating the game to other languages?
Keep the good work!
Glad you're enjoying the game! Thanks so much for the kind words.
I do plan on translating the game, but not until it is completely finished. It feels like it would be better to pay somebody to translate it all at once than to pay somebody every update that is released.

I can't wait for the next update.. More power to you RJ!
PS.
more Suzy and Reba content please?

I'll be sure to see it!
Hi really like your game great work. please give Dana more content she is so
sweet! keep up the great work love it.
Thank you so much. :)
Hey! Seems I messed up with Tammy. I can't complete the "training for Tammy's fight" scene. I'm 8/8 affection with her, unlocked all other events and convos. Did I mess something up or its bugged ? Thanks, really enjoying your game, looking forward to updates.
Hey there, sorry for the late response. This is likely because you didn't train with Tammy enough before her fight and she ended up losing the fight.
There's not really a way to go back and see that scene at this point - the story keeps going whether she wins or loses.
If you have any questions, feel free to jump on the Discord. There's always people hanging around on there who can help.
Ah crap, thank you for your reply. I guess i'll have to start another playthrough on your next realease.
Cheers!
This game is such good, hoping to see more games from the creator, please support R.J Rhodes on patreon, this guy deserves it, and in the next chapter please add more actions and some other fetishes and more scenes with Dana
wow so many positive review...
Bro, team i dont know what to say
The only i can nice work. its a super funny and remarkeble story.
I just catched myself smiling alot its a super cool smooth game,
the game dont press itself on u, what i rly like, u have the free roam experiance and also the i get more of the girls to know.
Like the pace like the style like the writing keep it up show me more? :D
and im sorry for my english but im not a nativ speaker :P
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words.
i agree its a twisted of a story from the sadness of losing this father to making new friends and see the relationships grow !
FEEDBACK !!! i have just found a error in one of the scenes when the guy got to see Mrs Spann to sign up for college to finish his cause as you might not have noticed there is a GAP of about 5MM where her body and chair end a gap and then the start of desk she's sat at i take she should had ben sat and the desk WITHOUT a gap !!! i was not sure if you was aware of this or not.
Yours Mr GaTeZ.
Hi there! I was not aware of this. My testing team is having a bit of a laugh that we missed that.
I'll be rerendering that entire scene in the next update. I appreciate your feedback and thanks for playing :)
WOOWWW that in its self is either funny are not so funny what it was not picked up on and am enjoying the V.N. so far
