I loved the game, it has a very interesting story and the characters are very charismatic, but there is one thing that could be improved, so the player can see what to do at the club and girls' events, they need to enter the menu, I play on my cell phone and it takes a while a lot to open these options, it would be more interesting to put them next to the Menu, save, etc., but I understand the choice since it's a lot, one question, how do you invite Ami to the protagonist's room at night? this option didn't appear for me and there is also Saori's Monday event (which is after the event where she fights with Ami) this Monday is never enough to run the event, as I have already spent several days, increasing points with the girls and ps clubs and etc, I'm looking forward to the next update 🙏🙏❤❤
I like how certain things crash the game intentionally with a jump scare, especially when I haven't saved in a long time :') fml (not a knock on the game more so just a skill issue on my part}
Check auto-saves (keep going left in the saves menu) Wouldn't be that mean intentionally, will add a notification for autosaves after a crash to prevent this :))
1.) What's our role in the story as a player, are we playing the role of spectator or the MC himself?
-A lots of things didn't hit my curiosity for the first 30 minutes of the game, our MC having a generic English/Hispanic name while the rest of the campus being in Japanese setting/scenario, even the writings in the blackboard are indeed in Kanji.
-It's hard for me to wrap my head around why should I invest my time playing the game when the opening aren't that interesting (sorry if my word offends you).
-There should be a hard emphasis if our role here as a player is either spectator or the MC himself. There's a lot of ways to approach this.
A.) Having our MC background fit the entire setting is one but a lot of VN games overlook, things like name, ethnicity, and character design MATTERS. Having said that, some portions of it just misses.
B.) IF the MC's background is already set and deliberately design to be that way, make sure it's slowly introduce and discuss in the story specially IF the game is all about our MC's environment to begin with.
C.) Or better, there's no need to name our MC, having nouns like "Me" , "Senpai" , "Sensei" is already enough. That emphasize the fact that the game is meant to be played at the MC's perspective not to ours. Have a strong grip to what the story is all about, it's nice having customizability but that can hurt the nature of how it'll affect future endeavors.
2.) Dumping 25% of the side characters from 30 minutes of playing a 7-10 hours long VN game is NO-GOOD. You can argue about it but you'll be in so much information that it's hard to find the value for some side characters moving forward, since you've already filter out like 25% of them already to which one would you like to know more/invest your time with. The rest of the gameplay is solely for the entire purpose of advancing through the game which just eliminates the entire purpose of having a side character to begin with. It's not just for the story, but what's their value? What're they meant for? What's their contribution? Why they're suppose to be relevant?
3.) Slowly incorporate everything. You're not running on a ticking time bomb, please. The amount of information I read everytime I click the next dialogues are absurd. You want to let your audience sit and let the dialogue be absorb fully, there's no need having PhD on literature to play/read a VN dialogues. It's fine and excusable in scenarios where it is UTMOST necessity, but not 75% of the entire time.
Heya dude - appreciate the time you've taken to check the game out. Let me explain a few things that are going on here:
1) The story is in the first person. This means that you are playing as the MC. The option to rename the MC is included for player preference - as some don't like the name chosen. There's inherently meant to be a disconnect between the MC and his surroundings, hence the character design. This is intentional, and is hinted at and explained throughout the course of the game.
2) Each of the main characters are introduced during the opening hours of the story, yes - however they are very briefly encountered. Only 2 side characters are currently available, and only one of these side characters you come across within the beginning of the game. I'd tend to agree that characters are maybe introduced a little quickly - and the beginning of the game is something I'm hoping to make edits to in the future to bring it up-to-scratch with the more recently developed content.
3) I'm curious to hear some examples of exactly your issue is here, as I'm not sure I fully understand. Is the issue with phrasing certain lines? Is too much dialog presented on each click? Is there descriptive dialog you feel is unnecessary? Feel free to send me a DM via Discord with a little more info on this.
Either way, thanks for checking out the game - and I always appreciate people raising any issues/concerns they may have, to help make the game the best than it can be. Thanks dude! :)
Woah! I appreciate the positive take from my criticism, I would definitely check back the game after some time, maybe 1 to 3 months from now or 2 to 3 updates. I won't shy away from financially supporting VN indie games like this as I did in the past so big plus for taking my feedback in brighter side as some wouldn't.
To answer the 3'rd question I couldn't provide much. Since I didn't really pass through 2 hours of gameplay which I'm assuming aren't even 10-15% of the game's entire content story, but let me confirm some information while I'm at it.
1.) Don't worry it's not the dialogue phasing or dialogue info, it's meant and necessary for VN in the first place. The accessibility and customization for word speed I can adjust so no worries. I don't read too fast nor too slow, referring to my number 2 pointers is one example(s), another is how congested some dialogues are, I'm not exactly sure what's the correct word, but I feel like whenever I read some dialogues either there's so much in one dialogue box or there's very few if you get what I mean(?)
2.) I took some time off to gather my thoughts as to why the opening scene didn't click in to me, for me one thing is lacking. Mystery. Or perhaps the lack of direction of the MC, in a way where it's completely evident that we as a player are trying to navigate the world the MC's "suppose" to be living. Take examples in Lesson in Love (LiL) and Broken Dreams (BD) they did a great examples on how to do it in a way where it doesn't disrupt the authoritative approach to MC's background. I can't exactly tell which pointers you should look, it's more about a feel/vibe.
Either way I'm glad you took my feedback with positive approach. I'm going to wait 2-3 updates worth of time before I play the game again and maybe provide my final/another criticism. Good luck on your future endeavors!
Ei cara! Estou passando por um tradutor agora, sinto muito se não for 100% preciso. Acabei de carregar a versão 1.5.1, que corrige o bug que você encontrou. se você instalar a versão mais recente, poderá visitar a casa de Ami durante a noite :))
I played this for 1/2 an hour or so and got bored. The usual ‘grind affection for scene’ stuff. The only character I liked was Saori.
I think there was meant to be something else going on in the story, some link to some special event or something, but since I hadn't seen much of it after 30 minutes I decided to stop.
I view it like reading a book. If you cant hook me in as the reader in the first chapter you're doing something wrong.
Heya! Sorry you weren't quite hooked - but thanks for giving it a go! I'll be revisiting the opening hours and re-adjusting them a little in the next couple of months, so I'll keep your feedback in mind :))
This is an issue with v.1.5.0 - it's been updated in the most recent release (1.5.1), if you download that, and progress to Ami E4 then invite her over it should be fixed :))
I see all the nsfw tags and all my events are done did I mess up on a choice or they are not in the game yet or do I just keep playing until they unlock
If you've completed all events, you've seen everything there is to see until now :) Looking back at the tags, there are some that aren't quite in the game as of yet - will update accordingly to not make it misleading.
I don't think it was there the last time I played but I'm really loving the little Events Checklist where at a glance it lists off the number of events for characters. Wish more games would implement one so you don't have to waste time going back and forth between character pages checking to see if there's anything else to do with a character.
yeah - it's a new addition from 1.3.0 - makes life a little easier - and the lines below each character on that menu turn a different colour when all events are completed too. Glad I did a whole events screen overhaul, makes it much easier to manage :))
Mehhh an mc despite being surrounded with very VERY blunt honest in your face about what they want the mc is one of those pathetic loser anime mc's with the IQ of a potato... oh and yea also same idiotic delusional AF thing cause yea right all the hottest chicks in school flock to the total geekwad blushing cherry soi boi that is essentially a makshift jap male with a ridiculously imaginary oversized cock thats about 5x bigger than it ever would be riiiight.. just sucks cause this one has some of the better female modeled char i have seen in a while.
you may be able to request this through a website like F95zone - I'm not fluent in many other languages so cannot supply translations, but I'm always open to public contributions :))
The game is completely free - however there is the option to support development through Patreon/Subscribestar - and these supporters get early access to the newest updates ahead of the public's release :)
1 hour, 24 minutes, and 15 seconds. edit: my tactic: Press skip for seen texts, upon a decision I always clicked the top one, grinded on the clubs all at once per game day (same with the characters)
I reckon you could probably get it down further if you used 'Skip To Choices' in the menu - when you turn on skip, it'll jump straight to the next choice. You could get the game done in no time with that ;)
For now though - new world record for Another World any% 😂😂
Ya know I'm surprised that considering that you mentioned optional fetish content that I haven't seen any comments on making the girls T&A expand. Game looks good by the way, gonna get into it soon.
I wouldn't expect too much in regards to fetish content (such as expansion, unfortunately), and any included would be quite far down the line. I just want the fact that those sorts of things will be optional to be vary clear if they're ever introduced later on :)
It's cool, I was surprised that nobody mentioned it with the "People of Culture" that exist on the site. Though I do have to say I like a rather expansive rear myself.
Is there any possible way to pause a scene that quickly comes and goes in an instant? I would like to see these kinds of scenes a lot more clearly, instead of having to backtrack and keep playing the scene over and over again until I see what's unfolding before me. If there is any possible way, please let me know, and keep up the good work. Loving the game so far.
As of right now, there isn't a way to pause these scenes to view them - they are intentionally designed to be almost unviewable for the most part (such as the static/distorted transitions), or a challenge to view in some case (Saori E1 for example)
I may consider making certain elements pause when you're viewing the event as a replay - but I don't know how much that'd help this issue 🙃)
Glad you're enjoying the game! Always great to hear ☺️
That's fine, cause I found a way to see them more clearly than before. So you don't have to do anything about that after all. Can't wait for more! 😆👍❤️
What I do in instances like that is roll back before the "Blink and you'll miss it" scenes is spam the shit out of the "S" key to try and snag a screenshot of what's going on
I see this now has a lesbian tag for planned tags. Lessons in Love is one of my favorites but my biggest complaint is it's a bit too lesbian heavy. So i feel the need to ask how lesbian heavy this game will be?
For the pool scenes with Natsuki you should remove her makup and make her wear a swim cap for immersion. It's uncanny how she has makeup on with her hair styled while swimming.
I've been getting this comment a little bit - I'll make some adjustments in later events when Natsuki's swimming competition becomes a little more significant ;)

Ok nevermind that's just a good old yanderapist
I like how certain things crash the game intentionally with a jump scare, especially when I haven't saved in a long time :') fml
(not a knock on the game more so just a skill issue on my part}
Check auto-saves (keep going left in the saves menu)
Wouldn't be that mean intentionally, will add a notification for autosaves after a crash to prevent this :))
This reminds of me another psychological vn. I'll check this one
Alright honest take:

-noodles
lil better
-zezc
Yeah, it's called Lesson In Love the same reference main character has also glasses bro same as character design
Olá, comecei a jogar a um tempinho e gostaria de saber como faço pra ligar para a AMI KAWATA ? (Estou na versão de Android)
Ei cara! Estou passando por um tradutor agora, sinto muito se não for 100% preciso. Acabei de carregar a versão 1.5.1, que corrige o bug que você encontrou. se você instalar a versão mais recente, poderá visitar a casa de Ami durante a noite :))
i pray that you wake up or something
The game is like Lesson in love though the main character has a glasses and scary looking girls when they approach can do something drastic to him
Can you change the character name?
Yes! In the settings, there is an option to change Arvin's name :)
Hi there,
I played this for 1/2 an hour or so and got bored. The usual ‘grind affection for scene’ stuff. The only character I liked was Saori.
I think there was meant to be something else going on in the story, some link to some special event or something, but since I hadn't seen much of it after 30 minutes I decided to stop.

Heya! Sorry you weren't quite hooked - but thanks for giving it a go! I'll be revisiting the opening hours and re-adjusting them a little in the next couple of months, so I'll keep your feedback in mind :))
Thank you for taking my criticism well! Many people don't.
I'm waiting for the buckle ami event but nothing happened what should I do?
This is an issue with v.1.5.0 - it's been updated in the most recent release (1.5.1), if you download that, and progress to Ami E4 then invite her over it should be fixed :))
I've passed day 18 Monday but no event happened for Saori, should I 100 my affection for her?
If you haven't completed Ami E5 (Buckle), this event won't occur yet. Updated the hint for clarification for the next release of the game ;)
Full-on sandbox(with farming and stuff) or Normal sandbox(just some normal roaming around)?
Normal sandbox - but not a huge aspect of the game :)
don't have Chinese?:(
Heya dude! Unfortunately, I can't translate the game to Chinese, but it might be worth submitting a translation request on a site like f95zone?
My new speedrunning time: 70-ish minutes.
Rules I've followed: Must read the text. Skipping hentai scenes are allowed (its a distraction.)
I will obtain more speed
We need to set up a speedrun.com leaderboard 😂
Unsure if I should ask but uh..
will I be on the wiki by any chance?
It'd be pretty freakin based.
I think that's a great idea 😂 A page dedicated to Another World - Any%
Will be on the list ;)
I see all the nsfw tags and all my events are done did I mess up on a choice or they are not in the game yet or do I just keep playing until they unlock
If you've completed all events, you've seen everything there is to see until now :)
Looking back at the tags, there are some that aren't quite in the game as of yet - will update accordingly to not make it misleading.
ok thank you love your game so far so to make sure only Ami is the main girl with the most nsfw nothing with the other girls yet
so far, yeah :))
I don't think it was there the last time I played but I'm really loving the little Events Checklist where at a glance it lists off the number of events for characters. Wish more games would implement one so you don't have to waste time going back and forth between character pages checking to see if there's anything else to do with a character.

Is game completely free?
The game is completely free - however there is the option to support development through Patreon/Subscribestar - and these supporters get early access to the newest updates ahead of the public's release :)
I think i played this game back when it first came onto itch, its come...quite a ways.
Edit: I'm a fast reader and I skip a lot of the hentai content so like... 9 hours for you is like 3 hours for me...
The fastest eyes in the west.
Damnnn
It's a bit tough to estimate exactly how many hours the game is - but 3 hours to get through it is impressive 😳
I decided to speedrun it.
1 hour, 24 minutes, and 15 seconds.
edit: my tactic:
Press skip for seen texts,
upon a decision I always clicked the top one,
grinded on the clubs all at once per game day (same with the characters)
I reckon you could probably get it down further if you used 'Skip To Choices' in the menu - when you turn on skip, it'll jump straight to the next choice. You could get the game done in no time with that ;)

It's cool, I was surprised that nobody mentioned it with the "People of Culture" that exist on the site. Though I do have to say I like a rather expansive rear myself.
there isn't right now, unfortunately - but I will make sure to have the option to turn this on/off within the next update :))

What I do in instances like that is roll back before the "Blink and you'll miss it" scenes is spam the shit out of the "S" key to try and snag a screenshot of what's going on
That was exactly what I did actually, but thanks for the help anyway
Any giantess/shrinking stuff ? ( "even" tall/short people count for me)
There might be slight height-difference-related stuff but I wouldn't count on it too much I'm afraid :(
Slight also counts
I see this now has a lesbian tag for planned tags. Lessons in Love is one of my favorites but my biggest complaint is it's a bit too lesbian heavy. So i feel the need to ask how lesbian heavy this game will be?
Expect a similar level to LiL - only Nia and Hina are confirmed to not be straight - and there shouldn't be many others, if any, more than that :)
Well that's unfortunate I was hoping it would be a lot less,
For the pool scenes with Natsuki you should remove her makup and make her wear a swim cap for immersion. It's uncanny how she has makeup on with her hair styled while swimming.
I've been getting this comment a little bit - I'll make some adjustments in later events when Natsuki's swimming competition becomes a little more significant ;)
Should probably add Lesbian as a future tag since I didn't find out about it until I saw it on a different website.
Done :)
