SFM was one of my favorite VNs all those years back, and playing this newer version now, honestly aged so well. It's not often where I actually grow to like all LIs and you really nailed it.

Some random comments: 

  • My least favorite ending though is probably Alden's best ending, since it still feels quite sudden for him to reciprocate MC's feelings. Alden's good end was actually sweeter and more realistic I guess. 
  • I also kinda miss Seth's more "bishie" look in the original, but his current design definitely reflects a more geeky archetype. 
  • Forgot how much Seth and Cherri roast MC lmao it's hilarious and it's a nice subversion of the typical flawless NLOG MC
  • I'm also curious to know what dialogue changes you made, it would be cool if you had some kind of text document with all the changes. Then again I could also just replay the old one side by side lol.

Anyway, regardless of all the nitpicks, all the characters feel so well-rounded and I love the witty writing. If you eventually come back to this project to add CGs or other updates, I be ecstatic! Thank you for sharing this VN and allowing oldies like me to relive good memories. ^^

Aww, thank you for your comment <3

There's a lot of things I'd probably do differently now, but I don't think I'll ever re-revisit SFM or SFMA. Although it's not perfect, it's nice to look back. Unfortunately I don't have a document with the dialogue or anything like that. It's already been 6 years since the remake and I remember at the time I was glad to be rid of some of the old dialogue, it was a product of its time (and the immature me at the time haha).
But if you want to play the old version, you can still find it on my old blog, just click "download old version".  I myself was surprised the link still worked lol.

Thanks again so much for playing and remembering the game fondly!
