Okay, so, uh... first off, hello everyone. I may not be saying anything new here, and this might get REALLY emotional, but I felt like saying something to take this off my chest, so here we go.
I first played Morenatsu when I was 15 (yes...), and damn, the story may have had its flaws, but I've always thought of it as a masterpiece, with even a few dreams of it having an anime adaption (yeah, my brain makes me dream about stuff I watch and play a lot).
I was sad and disappointed that the original project would be discontinued, having finished all available routes, and by the time I finished my high school in 2015, I stopped thinking too much about it, leaving it in its folder hidden from prying eyes. Sure, I was often tempted to open it up again just to check a little more, but after finishing Shun and Kounosuke's routes (the former was just... well, it seemed like a furry Boku no Pico, and the latter really looked like a friends with benefits relationship) and checking out the worst endings for Juuichi and Shin (psychotic Hiroyuki out of nowhere, ugh), I didn't feel any reason to do that. I had already seen everything it had, what else would I do with it?
However, the emotions I felt with the characters were not left behind. Although I tried not to think too much about Morenatsu as I began the next phase of studying, I still remembered the feels of each moment, especially Kouya and Shin's (with whom I can relate a LOT, seriously). I also downloaded the soundtrack and listened to it often on my phone, despite telling myself not to do that in order to keep them feels under control.
So, I actually spent 5 years without even looking for Morenatsu related stuff (except for some rule 34 now and then), and only recently had contact with Homecoming, a few days before my 20th birthday. I was thrilled to find it, and glad someone decided to revisit my beloved Visual Novel.
Downloading and playing release 2 of Homecoming was the most emotion I had in a long time, so much that I became a tad moody as a result, but it was a good feeling, nonetheless. I saw how much potential this project has early on in the demo, right at the moment I saw Hiroyuki's new incarnation. Not to mention the awesome music (which nearly made me cry at its glory right at the main menu lol)...
Ok, let's finish this wall of text... I'd like to thank you for reviving this awesome visual novel and giving it a new face. I love the art, the music, the new characters (including new and MUCH better Shun)... the only thing I don't like is really that it isn't finished yet, but I'm sure that's being solved, just gotta be patient :P So, to sum it up, I wanted to thank the team for doing this. You really made me happy.
P.S.: I wrote this last night, and hesitated to post this here till now bc I'm as shy as Shin... >_>"
