I haven't played this in a while because I was waiting for 1.0, so I was wondering:
Can anyone tell me what this "colleague section" is that the developers removed from the game (according to the most recent devlog)? Doesn't sit well with me at all that they're removing content from the Itch version and re-writing part of the story in the vague hope of not getting refused by Steam again, so I'd like to at least know what it is we're missing out on.
From what I could find in the discussions on Discord, they removed the college/school section. So I think the release notes just have a typo. (I have not actually tried the 1.0 version yet, so if I am mistaken, someone please correct me.)
The college/school section was mostly a side-story that contained very little H-content. It was also kind of abandoned and unfinished anyway. After you finished that section, if you tried to go back at the bus stop, it would just show a "work in progress" message. So the part about Steam not liking it may be more of a convenient excuse... Although it did seem more like a high-school than a university, which could have certain implications about the age of the characters.
The dialogue with the principal and students did give some interesting back-story nuggets for such an early part of the game. I do hope they find a way to work that back in... Regardless, those same story details are all covered in more detail during the end-game reveals.
Thanks for the explanation! Would you believe I didn't realize "colleague" is probably just a typo until right not? I even played the game with the barebones college section a few years ago. Man, do I feel stupid now =D
Makes total sense though. From what I've heard, Steam curators follow a hard "no school-like environments in NSFW games" rule.
And I get that the devs probably don't have the funds to create two separate builds, but it's still a bummer they have to change their game on Itch just to hopefully not get rejected by Steam this time around...
