ok i just finished the last update and first,what the actual fuck?,im in love with this game,my head hurts with all the theories that are being slowly comfirmed in my head,i was expecting something like tat to happen but it was faster than i though it will,and now i have more theories, aahhhh

Heh, that's lovely to read. Thanks, mate. I'm glad you enjoy the game!

(+2)

That answers my question perfectly! Thank you very much, i hope i didn't put you in to much of a tight spot answering that, i promise I'm not trying to squeeze any spoilers out of you it was genuine curiosity. I look so forward to your next update!

You're very welcome, and no worries, I don't mind curiosity. :P
Next update's coming along nicely and it shouldn't be too much longer before it's done!

(+1)

Ngl, I had to cycle through like 5 wrong ideas to (I think) understand what happened at the end there. I can't wait for the next update!

(+1)

Hehe. It's coming along nicely and should be out soon-ish™️. :P

(+2)

Thank you for the 0.33 update, it was lovely. I really enjoyed that last scene, its was a huge surprise and I am not easily caught by surprise.

(+1)

Love to hear it! Thanks, mate. :)

(+2)

How's it going good sir? I hope you are well! I just played the latest update, and wow! Also, NOOOOOOOOOOO! Jun!!! No worries i won't spoil anything, but again i was curious, a while ago you answered a question about content to not expect in your VN. One of them was no pregnancy, with recent developments in the story i was wondering why that would be the case? Again only answer if you can without spilling any beans. 

Your VN is freaking amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us! 

Hi there, it's indeed going well, thanks!
Yes, there won't be any pregnancy in the game. The biggest and most simple (spoiler-free) reason for that being that I'm not into anything pregnancy, and thus don't want to create that kind of content. Beyond that, there are in-story reasons for it, too. I hope that answers your question. :)

Thanks a lot, mate! Glad you enjoy the game. :)

Hello, just wondering if there's any oral content where the female is the one receiving? (Like cunnilingus or breast/nipple play)

Thanks!

(+2)

Hi there,
content like that is already in the game, yes. There will be more in the near future, too.

When will you put sex scenes in the game?

(+4)

Whenever they fit into the story. Just like the ones that are already in the game.

is this a harem game?

(+1)

This is indeed a harem game

Hey I'm just curious if this game has/will ever have NTR. I dislike it and don't want to play the game and get attached to the characters if that's a possibility.

(+4)

Hi there!
No need to worry about that, there will never be any NTR in Crimson High. If you dislike NTR, I'm confident you'll be pleased with the game. :)

(+1)(-20)

....big baby.

What fetishes are currently in / planned?

Hi there,
currently there aren't too many different fetishes in the game yet. I don't have a fixed list of fetishes that I plan on adding, either.
Some fetishes I'm confident I will add eventually, though, are (in no particular order; non-exhaustive):
- Objectification
- BDSM (not sure to which degree yet)
- Edging/Teasing
- Feet
- Spanking
- Role playing
- Impact Play
- Dom/Sub Relationships
- Voyeurism
- Anal
- Free use
- probably a bunch more that I can't think of right now

Just for the sake of it, here's also a list of fetishes that won't ever be in the game (again, no particular order; non-exhaustive:
- NTR/Cuckolding
- Scat
- Urination
- Pregnancy/Lactation/Breeding
- Vore
- Sounding
- Age play
- Female domination
- CBT
- probably a bunch more that I can't think of right now

Hope this satisfies your curiosity!

Just started this game, and I gotta say for an ero-game the lore and story had me hooked on rather than the segs scenes.

Like I'm curious if the MC is really human, you know after that pan to the back of his head incident (lol).

Can't wait to uncover more lore and know more about the characters, probably the second ero-game I got invested in the story along with Cursed Kingdoms.

(+2)

That's nice to read! I hope you'll stay curious for a while, cause there's a bunch of content for you to go through still. :P

(+1)(-1)

Hey Vertigo,

are you ok? It's awfully silent here...

(+1)

Huh? Yeah, I'm fine lol. I just posted the release schedule for next update over on my Patreon. :P

(+1)

Assuming you are rounding to the nearest hundred, what were the chances the last 2 updates had the same number of words added.

Rounding to the nearest 500, usually. Hence, not that low, since I'm explicitly aiming for ~13k on average. After 35 updates, I've gotten rather good at ending up where I want to end up, even though I couldn't explain how I do that lol
In actuality, v0.31 has 14,373 words and v0.32 has 14,651 words. As it goes with rounding, these things even each other out, though, and 14,500 looks way more pleasing to the eye lol

(+2)

this vn is n°2 all time for me

(1 edit) (+5)

In my opinion, one of the best visual novels I've ever played! It's really cool when the story in a game is so addictive that the time passes without a second thought! I've always marveled at how people manage to write such great stories! Thank you very much, I will definitely buy the next version as soon as it is available! 

(+1)

Lovely of you to say. Thanks a lot! Really happy that you enjoy the game that much. :)

(+1)

Seconded.  Spelling/grammar nits are generally rare and minor, the pacing is comfortable, and it has solid storytelling with a compelling plot, interesting characters, a good sense of humor, etc.  It is well worth reading.

I can only say that about roughly 6.2% of the AVNs that I've read or started to read, and most of the other titles on that short list are the sorts of titles that get updated once or twice per year, so I'm really impressed at the velocity you achieve without tanking the quality.  😁

(+1)

That's mighty kind of you! Dedication and a good portion of passion for what I'm doing probably help a lot in staying consistent with an upwards trend, because let me tell you, I love what I'm doing. :P

(+1)

Damned! Waiting feverishly for the next update, downloading it asap, playing it immediatly and being frustrated (again) when reaching the next cliffhanger! Vertigo, you are soooo mean - keep it up man, it's amazing and definetly one, if not THE best VN out there!

(+1)

Sorry about that :D
Thanks, mate! Appreciate the kind words!

(+1)

Weird punctuation nit in the latest update: "Now and then" is a common English idiom, and at one spot, you used a clause ending with "now" followed by "and" to start a compound predicate beginning with "then", which makes it look like you're using that idiom.

But then the sentence unexpectedly goes on afterwards.  When readers realize it wasn't intended as an idiom, they can get very confused (because the remainder of the sentence is unparseable at that point) and may be forced to go back and reread the entire sentence to figure out what's actually going on.

Even though you don't normally use a comma before a compound predicate, this is one of those spots where it is *really* needed.  Changing it to "...the address now, and then make..." would greatly improve understandability.

Yes, I'm arguing to violate Chicago or whatever, but adding a comma between those phrases isn't strictly wrong, and improves readability in this one weird edge case, so...  yeah.  Or you could just repeat the subject and make it a full compound sentence.

(+1)

That's a fair point, yeah. I've changed it.

English isn't my first language, so grammar can be a bit annoying here and there, especially in niche cases. I do try to learn and improve, though.

Either way, thanks for mentioning it. :)

(+1)

A couple of typos / nits:

- "good to know *you're* on my side" (rather than "you")

- A few lines later, no comma needed after "Call"

- Next line should have be a period and uppercase letter after "Will do."

I might also quibble about "continue on", but I could go either way on that.

(+2)

This is one of the best VN I've played. Absolutely fantastic story and characters. Keep it up!!

(+1)

Happy to hear it! Thanks, friend :)

(+1)

Hello again! I just wanted to say that i am loving this masterful work of yours! It just get more and more amazing with no signs of slowing down! I'm curious though that is if you can say, when do we get closer to Jun? I mean being human and all seems they would have gotten even closer sooner. 

Thanks again for all your hard word! I'm sure I can speak for everyone here when i say we really love and appreciate what you do!

Hi there and thanks a lot for your kind words!

Not being closer to Jun yet has a particular reason which you'll maybe see in retrospect once we're closer to her - something that's going to happen within the next 3 updates. :)

(+1)

I love it its the third time i play/read(i'm not sure what term is correct here) it,this is like my obsession

Glad you're enjoying it :P

(+1)

So far I'm really enjoying this. I'm a little passed the intro to the SECS part and I really like how open ended this has become. For anyone on the fence about trying this, I highly recommend. Especially if you like a nice build up for the story.

Glad to hear and thanks a ton! :)

(+4)

Hey Vertigo, I'm interested in the early access, but I got a question about it. Is this an one-time payment, that we get every early access for each update, or is it an early access per payment that repeats every update?

(+1)

Hi there! Sorry about the delay, been a bit busy lately.

The Early Access is intended to be an alternative way to getting it through Patreon, meaning it will be $20/$5 each update.
I don't think Itch even gives the option of one-time purchase for all future Early Access downloads. The only thing I could do is set the whole project to have a fixed price, giving people continuous Early Access that way. But that would both prevent people from downloading the public version for free and be highly unfair to anyone going the Patreon route. :)

(+1)

understood and understandable, thanks for the reply!

(+3)

Just finished the game, and I absolutely LOVED it. Games like this are few and far between, and I couldn't stop playing. My only criticism would be that hint mode is practically required to get all the hamsters, but other than that, no notes. 10/10.

(+1)

Thanks a lot, mate!

Yeah, the hamsters are tough, but that's what the hint mode is for. Think of trying to find them without the hint mode as something like a hardcore plus mode in some games or something. And always keep in mind: Android players have it even worse. (Unless you're an Android player yourself; in that case you're kinda f'd :P)

(+1)

The thought never occurred to me about Hamster hunting for Android users. Now that I think of it, some of the spots are rather devilish for Android lol. Hints are definitely a saving grace for them especially

Yeah, I've gotten the odd complaint about it before lol

(+1)

Yeah, I'm an Android user. Thankfully the back button exists, or else I wouldn't be able to brag any my full hamster collection

With the second-to-latest update (v0.31.1), there is a button to unlock all hamsters for Android players, seeing as it's really tough to find and click some of those buggers. You can find the button in the in-game phone hamster gallery. :)

Hey Vertigo, have you considered setting up Itch to accept donations? I can see you have Patreon but I have a beef against Patreon that prevents me from ever wanting to even look at it let alone use it :P

If you dont want to use Itch for it, thats fine, but could you explain why please?

By that I mean, is there some feature of Itch that makes it less desirable as a platform for crowd funding?

(+1)

Hello there!

I had Itch donations open for a while early on but had to close them for behind-the-scenes reasons. However, your comment brought this back to my mind and I have reopened them.

This also includes the newest update (and any future new updates) being available in early access on here as well.

Itch isn't inherently less desirable as crowd funding platform, no. I was still setting up everything back when I disabled the donations on here, so I wasn't able to reduce the default withholding rate of 30%. That's no longer an issue, though. :)

(1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the info! Next time you put up an update with early access I will give you something in return. Your work on Crimson High is excellent and I want more.

Oh wait! 0.32 is available now?! YOINK!!

(+1)

Haha, thanks a lot, mate! I appreciate the support!
Hope you enjoyed the update. :)

(+1)

Oh I have been enjoying it! Currently going through the whole thing again from scratch just to remind myself of the whole story.

(+1)

Nice! Have fun with that!
 

(+1)

Just started this game a week ago, got to the last of the recent update! I Absolutely love it! the characters are all great! The story is pretty easy to follow without spelling things out for you! And even tho im a bit more into more hand on VNs, I am very much ok with just sitting with the story! Keep up the good work, Ill definitely be waiting for more!!

Thank you for your kind words, friend!

(+1)

you absolutely deserve  them, ill have a field day when the next part is out to the public 

(+2)

What a great game! I personally need more normal visual novels like this, with all the sandbox AVNs popping up left and right. Great story, I loved it!

I do have to say, however, I am somewhat disappointed with the fact that most characters have their first and last name start with the same letter. Makes me feel like not enough effort went into thought process for their names, you know? Similarly, Kuro's last name containing "Kage", as well as Okami having that name is a bit on the nose. Regarding "Buki-buki": is that a wordplay on the main character's default surname "Ibuki"? I know it's a cute/silly nickname Miri gave to his gun, but to someone who speaks Japanese it just sounds like "weapon-weapon" and I don't believe that's something a native would call it, even someone like Miri, unless it does have that double meaning with MC's last name.

If you don't mind me asking, are you Japanese, Mr. Vertigo? Aside from the obvious cultural references, there were several nuances that made me think the developer might be from Nihon. I don't remember most of them, but it was stuff like someone exclaiming "Heee" when surprised and some similarly minor details.

I want to commend you for smooth phone usage with text messages. In some games you press PgUp while in the phone and it goes all the way back to when you clicked on the phone, in others it straight up breaks the game in various ways. In your game it works perfectly fine and that's something I appreciate very much.

Anyway, it may look like most of this post was a complaint with all the name stuff, but I hope you don't take it the wrong way; it's all minor stuff and everything that I didn't critique I have greatly enjoyed. Believe me when I say that Crimson High is one of my favourite AVNs. Thank you for making it!

Vertigo is from Germany, as far as I know...

Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoy the game. :)

The alliterative names of some of the characters are by no means due to a lack of effort - it's a reference to another game.
As for things being on the nose.. there's nothing wrong with that, imo. For Okami it makes all but complete sense to have that name (can't prove it without spoilers, so you'll have to trust me on this one :P) and Kuro has chosen her last name herself when she founded her clan.
Just because something seems simple doesn't mean no thought has been put into it. Or in other terms: Things don't always have to be overly elaborate to be fine.

Buki-Buki is indeed a wordplay on Ren's last name, which obviously only works if you go with the default name. It meaning "weapon-weapon" is very much intentional, too.
Again, it might not seem like it, but I did put a lot of time and effort into the creation of the world - in some places it's noticeable, in others it isn't. Sometimes things being seemingly silly is even on purpose because my humor can be weird like that.

I am not Japanese, no. As Svensker correctly commented under this post, I'm from Germany.

Thank you! I appreciate your appreciation of the working phone. :P
It's something that had often annoyed me in other games myself, so I tried (and still try) to make it work as well as possible.

No worries, I didn't take any of this in a wrong way (I think). Likewise, my reply is mainly explanatory in nature - no hard feelings whatsoever.
Thanks for your comment and I hope you'll keep enjoying CH! :)

Cheers!

Also...


SPOILERS AHEAD:


I love that you added a wolpertinger. I saw one(well, it was a taxidermy model) in the TV show Dexter and thought that it was really cool and cute-looking. Later I learned that it comes from an actual mythology and well, it's my favourite fictional animal. So, additional points for that.

Wolpertingers are great, yeah. They're from German mythology as well, so Emma was the perfect candidate for it. :P
Glad you approve!

Una pregunta cuando saldrá la v0.32.0

Esque me dejaron con mas :(

[Upside-down thingy]Hola!

v0.32 is going to be a bit longer. I'll try to make a post about why that is tomorrow on here.

The short version:
I've extended the current writing phase to write the scripts for v0.33 and v0.34 to create a bit of a backlog for myself.

(+1)

Howdy there, I would like to say that I did not expect to fall in love with your game (not wanting to be rude like that or anything). I did just rate your game but I don't know if you can read it or not so I just want to say that I absolutely love all your work that you have done so far and I can't wait for the continuation of the story. It hurts not being able to continue a story you feel so attached to :(

(+2)

Howdy there yourself! No worries, I get your intention :P
Thanks a ton for your kind words! I appreciate them a lot!
And yes, I can read your rating. Thanks a lot for that, too. :D
If only the rest of the game was finished already. I'd love to give y'all updates every day. :)

(+1)

I don't know if you have been asked this before or not but who is your favourite so far or is it someone that hasn't been added yet?

(+1)

The question did come up once or twice lol
It's tough to answer, since I love all of them, but Nene is pretty far up the ladder and probably whom I would call my long-term favorite.
But honestly, the others are so close behind her, that it almost doesn't matter. :D
Who is your favorite? :)

(+2)

I definitely agree that the question is very tough especially with how well they have all been written and portrayed, oh how I would absolutely love to have them all be No. 1 because they are all amazing in their own little ways.

But I would have to say that Suzu is my favourite ever since you first get to see her in the school, but every other girl also deserves No. 1 because of the previous point where they are all amazing in their own ways

(+1)

Ahh, Suzu. Definitely a good choice. :P
But yes, you're right, of course; all of them deserve to be #1. Except for maybe Kawaguchi and Saya. :D

Hey Vert! I first played CH probably a year or so ago, and I stopped to give it time to be updated a few times, and man, you arent disappointing! <3

Glad to hear you like it, mate! :)

Downloaded the latest update on Android and it keeps crashing?

Does it give any kind of error message? Or does it just shut the application down?


It shows this very briefly before shutting fown

Uh.. are you sure you're on the correct page for the game you're trying to open? That error message is not related to CH. CH neither uses RenPy 8.1.3 (it uses RenPy 7.5.3) nor is there a folder called "music" with a file called "Tranquil.ogg".

From what I can tell, it's a CoR (Champion of Realms) error message, given the name (Zimon) in the file paths. You might want to check out CoR's page and ask there for help.

(+1)

Oh my gosh you are so right!! I'm so sorry for this mixup! 

It's all good, don't worry. You had me really confused for a second there, though. :P

What's the main menu song?

It's "Chasing Daylight" by Scott Buckley

(1 edit)

I actually have a couple of questions.
1. When Emma says they're practically married. How come the MC didn't realize what she said and just kept talking to her?
2. Why do all the girls look like they have ahegou eyes when talking to the MC?
lol

1. What makes you think he didn't realize what she's saying? It just wasn't an important part of the conversation
2. They don't?

(+1)

ever since i first saw emma ive been looking forward to seeing more of her so very haply to finally see her again! not quite sure how i feel about her fantasy but i cant deny im curiousp

(+1)

boober

(+3)

Hey i know that Polygamy is not always good but in ur game it does because I cant decide one girl in ur game they are all perfect to me so pleaaassseee dont make us choose Pls i begging u

(+1)

I'm Commander Shepard and I wholeheartedly agree with this message!!

(+2)

thx. By all means i dont like Polygamy in real life but in this game it needs it because all of them are adorable, funny, beautiful and are kindhearted i cant choose so i would get all of them

I'll think about it :P

(+1)

plllllsssss i cant play If i Had to choose IT was hard enough for me to choose one in the classroom

Haha, no worries. CH is very much a harem game and I do intend to have at least one full harem ending where you can have (almost) everyone :)

a-almost everyone? Vertigo, what are you cooking?

Something spicy. :P

(+1)

plsssss i need them all they are all special to me i love them all pls i begging uuuuuu

Alright, I'll add that secret Jiro harem ending, then.

@VertigoAVN it would be cool in the future if everyone has their own voice and speaks normally like people then it would be cool  

Huh? Are you talking about voice acting?

(+1)

yes but i like your game keep making game   

I will do that, but voice acting is probably not going to happen :)

(+1)

That was an evil cliffhanger to leave us on! But im loving it regardless lol
