Well, looking back on your Dev Log, it looked like you were putting out an update about every 3 to 4 months. Just curious when the next update will be released. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Typically the new updates release every 4-6 months as of the last couple, and each successive update makes another 1-3 months extension to that timeline, so I'm guessing the next chapter will be out in September or October. Though I think I vaguely recall him mentioning this next chapter to be the longest and most in depth, so if I recall that right, then it is more likely November/December.
Please choose wisely before creating the game on there main character...most of a players of 90% usually cant be interest on the game because of ugly character like me... There should be a magnet from main character to players if the game will gonna be hit...
Just finished 9. good game. love to see MC fuck sam and emily. and can you make the MC start to mature sooner. he's annoyingly infantile. and I hope you'll give MC a choice about going upstairs at the club. He should take enily home.
I've seen a stark increase in complaints about the demeanor and attitude of MC, but I really believe it makes sense that he is the way he is, and that it also feeds the unique personality dynamics of each character as well. And then given MC's and the rest of the HH's residents backgrounds, I can bet you that's the aim of Az.
Actually finished for now the first run all on samantha, quite nice but actually nothing too lewd for now, probably the only one that will need next chapters for more. Just started the second round focusing on Ash and seems a lot more lewd...
Just one thing: the complete lack of interaction, except some rare choices, (and main selections) make the game quite annoying fast in a lot of scenes where you just have to click (or press space) for literally hours to let the dialogue go on and nothing actually happens
Frick this game is annoying. Unless you are a young boy or like being called a pervert, I doubt you will get anything from this VN. quick rundown... You will never have made the right choice to unlock even a single decent lewd scene, be prepared to feel worse about yourself because you have to make intentionally weak moves. Dont even bother with emily... tell her to fuck off right away, cutest character, but written so terribly you end up hating her because of it.
If you came for the lewdness, then you my friend just called yourself out. Emily isn't even that bad of a character and isn't poorly written. Probably jealous that a woman can beat you up lol
shut up pervert... you're so gross. Just to make you feel at home like the little cuck you are. or maybe you're a man-boy and have never actually talked to another human being. The characters aren't written well, because the game isn't labeled as a femdom, and they are for sure on the far end of the spectrum when it comes to that behavior. and neither is the MC! he has deep feelings for the girls, and just says the most cringe-worthy and childish things i have heard in a game. As a proper dude, this game is not made for me and should be labelled properly. And yes every girl can beat me up because i would never hit a woman... wtf is wrong with you
anyone got all the scenes, im missing alot of the scenes farther down the story and i needa see all the scenes to see if its worth playing through again
So I played episodes 1-9 and loved it. When the next episode comes out do I have to delete the game and install it again on Android? What happened to the progress I made in the first 9 episodes?
Better not put a price ever on this. Anything that mentions the big N in gaming systems, they will demand money or sue. Even youtubers who even mention a game thats branded by them. Unless of course you change the system to not look like it and more like the vee instead of the.. you know.
The game is obviously not for me at all since I'm not attracted to women but scrolling the page couldn't help but stop at the beefy Luis.. He gives off "bad boy" vibes & is kinda hot/cute lol.
Its too bad.. I would play this game just for him(Luis) but I don't think I'll like it since it's locked as male protagonist with Luis as just a friend and is mainly focused on only female love interests. But the characters do sound great from what you said.
I like the game but I hate that it essentially trys to railroad you into being with Emily. Like you could be getting a literal handjob with Ash and she'll bring up you liking Emily.
If you want to play a non adult VN, get this game and go after Emily. In 9 episodes however much she loves you and you've corrupted her, all she'll show you is her boobs. If you want an Adult VN, however, go for Ashley. First time I played I was so dissapointed with Emily, as it seems the dev wanted you to know you would have to wait for a non-existant new episode or three!
Great game if you ever wanted to feel like a completely useless cuck, be called a pervert every two minutes and NEVER do anthing with anyone... great game. Hottest thing to happen was you fantisize about the big fat MALE po.
I'd like to find out too. Sometimes the way the game ends is in such a ridiculous place, it makes you think an update won't take long, but then nothing. I am getting to the point where I will probably only pay for finished games, and there aren't many of those....
Kinda in the same boat. I have subscribed to several games, and 90% of the time the game goes "tits up" (abandoned) . Why would I want to support a game that will never be finished, or I wait months and months for an update.
I would like to know how many addition episodes will be released before it's a full game. Too many games are Alphas or Beta's and just seem to have been forgotten by the devs. If the plan is for 18 episodes and so far we have 9, I will wait, because I always see so many itch games just stop development. And I am not paying or playing half a story.
But you can count on one hand how many Adult VNs are 1.0+, the vast majority are listed as 0.1 to 0.9, with many of them not having been updated for months. Itch should force these developers that bring out episodic games to tell us up front how many episodes they have planned for the 1.0 version. Then, if it's taken 2 years to get just a third of them done and 6 months before the last episode release, you would know it's a dead product and not waste your money.
It finally completed the download... I forgot I had it queued in my download manager, which kept trying to complete it all month long. Saw it pop up that it completed... But have not tried to play it yet. I still do not know why it had so many issues -- I just finished downloading another game from Itch that is 6 gigs in size, much larger than this one. Nor why Google Drive gave me problems. (Mega I often have issues with, so that one was no surpise.)
@developer: Another option to consider is using torrent downloads, and/or upload to archive.org (which will automaically make it torrent downloadable as well, so you will not need to).
Comments from my playthrough of Eps 1-8:
Give more choices and story branches. (There is story and branch management software out there to help.) I do not know a lot abut Ren'Py, but I would refactor the game to use zero-point references for scores: a score of zero (0) is neutral; A positive score is, well, positive. A negative score is negative. No need to keep increasing the max score -- just give choices that add/subtract. Then, only special cases, such as mutually-exclusive branches would need a flag variable, or triggers that require "did-X-at-least/most-N-times" tracking.
Adjust the "scoring" per character: Ashley seems to be more favorable to corruption choices, while Emily seems more favorable to "love" choices. Ashlyn and Lisbeth also seem to lean towards corruption. Samantha (and her other girl friends), Kunieda, and the rest I am uncertain about.
The most important point is that score adjustments per-choice should be based on the personality of the *character*, rather than the goals/objectives of the game author/developer. It would also add a greater possibility of NPC interactions: If Emily starts crushing on the MC, she would get jealous if he MC started to gain a lot of points towards another character. If it's LP, she might react negatively, and even lose some LP's wih the MC. If it's CP, she might get competitive and acting/dressing more... "slutty"... to get the MC's attention back on her. And so on.
You could also characterize the MC/player this way. Does he tend towards corruption choices? Love choices? This would affect how NPCs react to the MC.
Kind of off-topic, but what modelling software did you use to generate the scenes? You might consider offering downloads of the models/meshes (likely to Patreon paid accounts? Be certain to include licensing and use details). You could also offer some as a "reward" for reaching certain milestones with different characters -- but that might encourage players to "cheat" (extract the sources directly instead of "earning" them).
Make the right choices with her (and others in some cases!). To some extent, the author seem to have already factored some of this in: Some choices you make might make one story line branch available and another unavailable--ever. In some cases, with her at least, it does seem that you have to choose either to "corrupt" her or "love" her, but cannot do both.
My guy, I got nearly all the scenes from episode one, except the Emily path specific ones, since you get one set of scenes, or the other depending on two dialogue choices mid episode. Then I got all but 2 in episode two simply for the same reason, because depending on previous choices, you may see Emily, or Ashley, then I missed one of Sam's. The rest of the episodes really depend if you're just being horny the whole time, or considerate. It's not hard to get them until episode 6, because there are very specific choices that only work out if you did decent previously. I tried not to be a complete tool, and the only gripe I have is the dialogue makes your character kind of forcibly act like one at times, though, he did get checked into Juvie as a kid, and was with only guys, so there's no fucking way he'd grow up.
click with two fingers open with archive after it does that two finger click again and hit open. if it says it doesn't recognize the program just click open again. apple doesnt like these links but there is a work around
I have not tried this, as I use Linux... Have you tried to run the game directly from a Ren'Py installation instead of using the provided (bundled) Ren'Py? Looking at the (PC-version) zip file conents, it seems the game _should_ work fine this way.
I guess. I mean, Lue has a girl he favors in this game, and it's kind of a shitty thing to do to your broship, but you can pursue her as well. No spoilers!
From what perspective? If you want the MC to be the "town stud", "banging" all the girls, there are some story line branches that make it somewhat possible (but not in all cases -- only certain characters and branches). If you want to target Ashley, knowing Luis is crushing on her, and do dirty things with her "behind his back", then yes, there are some scenes where this can happen.
Some of the sound tracks are really good, like the menu screen one, for example. Is there a spotify playlist or something where I can access them and listen to them outside the game?
Anyone know how to fix loading screen issue im on oneplus 7pro android11 version just stuck sitting on there
Edit. Okay i managed to skip this advisory by lowering my phone resolution and refresh rate to minimum 60hz but now stuck on menu and can't click any of buttons. Any suggestions?
I think the game starts really strong but the choices you make were a let down for me.
I was very far with Emily, almost maxed out, but still failed the points check and couldnt kiss her to progress her path properly. And that's probably because i made the wrong choice at some point in the game, but i don't even know when, the wrost part for me is the the lack of choices, there's probably 4-5 choices for chapter, sometimes i feel more like a spectator than the main character.
No hate for your work, man. I think this game has a lot of potential, i specially like the characters you created, and i cant wait to see it finished, i just hope it improves in the aspects i mentioned so i can get back to playing it. Wish you the best
I like the story, but there is one thing that makes me sad. I had not gained enough points with Emily from the begining and now all I get is: points failed. There is almost no chance to gain more points in later episodes and it feels like i have no chance to win her back.
ive had to restart a few times just press control and go through the dialog very quickly. I was able to go through 5 episodes in a matter of minutes. oh and save between every episode so you won't have to start completely over
Man, this is the best game of that genre I've ever played. I can't believe just one person has made it. You deserve a lot of cheers. I loved the game and I'm anxious to play the following chapters. I've become a massive fan of yours.
Just one consideration:
Consider implementing more user choices. There is too much story and fewer choices to make. It would be great to be able to make more choices in the game.
I've been sitting here for more than 10mins now and it's still in the advisory warning screen. I tried tapping, nothing happens, I tried swiping nothing happens, is there a hidden button or something? I never made pass this advisory warning screen, and I'm not really sure if it's just the lag or the game crashed. Playing on Android btw, and I can tell my storage is still pretty fine while running this game, but it's still getting stuck.

new patch when?
+7 DAYS
*stolen from Killer7's discord*

can you update new version please?
Hi, anyone can play the Android version? It isnt working :( i have been trying and trying and nothing happes it freezes on the Advisory Warning
It's been awhile since I played this, is it still impossible to pick Ash over Emily?
Yes. I've done multiple playthroughs, I think four? And on the Ash focused one, it's still wholly maintainable.
Please choose wisely before creating the game on there main character...most of a players of 90% usually cant be interest on the game because of ugly character like me... There should be a magnet from main character to players if the game will gonna be hit...
Anal sex?
yes
Just finished 9. good game. love to see MC fuck sam and emily. and can you make the MC start to mature sooner. he's annoyingly infantile. and I hope you'll give MC a choice about going upstairs at the club. He should take enily home.
When's the next update? thanks

more Samantha scene, please :(
Officer Monroe gonna steal yo girls
Actually finished for now the first run all on samantha, quite nice but actually nothing too lewd for now, probably the only one that will need next chapters for more.

Nigga really said "as a proper dude" when he's playing an adult plus even ranted as if it was the ultimate game.
this is one of the best games I have played. hope it will continued
anyone got all the scenes, im missing alot of the scenes farther down the story and i needa see all the scenes to see if its worth playing through again
Ill save you hours of trying to find the right path. you will be very much let down.
So I played episodes 1-9 and loved it. When the next episode comes out do I have to delete the game and install it again on Android? What happened to the progress I made in the first 9 episodes?

Yea the writers almost always write what they can relate to which is easier so it's fine.
Yeah I haven't either that much heh but no worries :3 I found some and maybe I'll come upon others I'll like while searching.
Thanks, take care.
is Ash a li?
Dont quote me, but i don't believe she is however i havent caught up with the updates in a while.
Really liked the charactars and the story hope new things come soon
I like the game but I hate that it essentially trys to railroad you into being with Emily. Like you could be getting a literal handjob with Ash and she'll bring up you liking Emily.
If you want to play a non adult VN, get this game and go after Emily. In 9 episodes however much she loves you and you've corrupted her, all she'll show you is her boobs.

Has anyone got all the scenes?? There's 1 that's eluding me and I find near impossible to get (the one that req. 21+ECP).
im missing alot of the scenes farther down the story and i needa see all the scenes to see if its worth playing through again
Epic , been playing since chapter 7
how do i know when ep10 is released?
I'd like to find out too. Sometimes the way the game ends is in such a ridiculous place, it makes you think an update won't take long, but then nothing. I am getting to the point where I will probably only pay for finished games, and there aren't many of those....
Kinda in the same boat. I have subscribed to several games, and 90% of the time the game goes "tits up" (abandoned) . Why would I want to support a game that will never be finished, or I wait months and months for an update.
Especially when these VNs are so based on story! To not have the ending in a story should be a crime!
PC Download link is dead????

SPOILER
That is true. But when the story ends with a choice of going home with Emily, or going with Luis is the worst way to end episode 9!
This game is horribly designed
developer made this game in mind with perfect answers
so if you do not play ideally as he wanted you to play you can quit
if you think 7/10 at the end of chapter 1 is good, it will be 14/20 21/30 and downfall from there
means more you play not chosing what developer want you to chose (game never indicate which options gives scenes, just throw them at you)
so basically you can play entire game and feel lucky if you saw nipple
dont bother, its complete trash...
hey man thats what guides are for bro plus i thought the game was good, to get the scenes its trail and error
My guy, I got nearly all the scenes from episode one, except the Emily path specific ones, since you get one set of scenes, or the other depending on two dialogue choices mid episode. Then I got all but 2 in episode two simply for the same reason, because depending on previous choices, you may see Emily, or Ashley, then I missed one of Sam's.

Hi, I have a problem with the game, I think is the same that Drakano have, and the thing is that I got a bug, and I can't launch the game.
In fact I have not been able to enter this latest version once.
I have Windows32, and when I want to launch the game it close it self like 1 or 2 sec after the launch.
I played Halfway_House-EP8-pc, and in this version the game just work great, without problems, but with Halfway_House-EP9-pc it's not the case.
Someone can help me, pls
Hi,
I got a bug, I can't launch the game.
I'm on MacBook Pro 2018 with Mojave, and when i want to launch the game it close it self 1 sec after the launch.
I manage to launch it one time, (the first time that i opened it) but it's doesn't open anymore.
Edit: (it's linked to a tccd process. Each time i try to launch the game, a program called tccd take 80% of the cpu).
Pls help, thx.
click with two fingers open with archive after it does that two finger click again and hit open. if it says it doesn't recognize the program just click open again. apple doesnt like these links but there is a work around
That usually works for me
I have not tried this, as I use Linux... Have you tried to run the game directly from a Ren'Py installation instead of using the provided (bundled) Ren'Py? Looking at the (PC-version) zip file conents, it seems the game _should_ work fine this way.
The game keeps on crushing
Is there any Ntr content?? I Love Ntr
I guess. I mean, Lue has a girl he favors in this game, and it's kind of a shitty thing to do to your broship, but you can pursue her as well. No spoilers!
From what perspective? If you want the MC to be the "town stud", "banging" all the girls, there are some story line branches that make it somewhat possible (but not in all cases -- only certain characters and branches).

Some of the sound tracks are really good, like the menu screen one, for example. Is there a spotify playlist or something where I can access them and listen to them outside the game?
