I tried to write each character to be unique and appeal to different people, so I'm really glad Ashley has resonated so well with you 😁 she is very much an exploration of "you don't need a label to make a relationship meaningful", or that's the kind of thing I'm aiming for at least!
(Bonus wife lore: she entirely made Violet & Sabrina, who were the most popular side characters on the poll!)
I was very pleased with how the threesome turned out, obviously it was planned but it just flowed very naturally :3
It is significant that Ashley wants to be called that by MC and the others! Back with Beth and her other friends she was the inexperienced one learning from them, but now starting uni she's more confident in herself and what she wants, and she kind of wants a different place in her new friend group. Not all of that would be a conscious decision of course, but that's the jist of what I was going for <3
Yeeeee! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it made me so happy! <3
Ashley does have her fans, but when I did a popularity poll on my patreon she came last out of the main characters 😓 I suppose someone has to. But it always makes me extra happy when people say they like her, as she's the character my wife had the most creative input with 🥰
I'm so glad you liked her scene! I was really pleased with how it came out, so glad you enjoyed it ❤️ and thank you for noticing the flower motif! You're the only person to pick up on it so far.
I figured most people would go for the threesome, but I always like to give an option when I can. I'm so happy the writing came across well too! I find those quiet, tender moments to be the most important, so I'm pleased they've been a highlight for you.
I think for Ashley, someone falling in love with her would massively depend on who they are and how they express it. After everything she and MC have been through, and their mutual understanding, I think she'd be cool with it ❤️
For the future, I do have one last party planned, but it'll be pretty different to the others. You'll see! Next couple of updates will be catching up on side characters and events :3
Thank you again for the lovely words, it's really encouraging to see people enjoy my little project ❤️
You can take the option to go back two weeks without any issues, it won't reset your progress or stats or anything like that. It just sets the clock back, because I have plans for day 100 that aren't ready yet :3
There's a few things. Most importantly is that seeing her (or any side character) counts as a "random event", which you can only have one of per day. So if you've had another event, such as something happening in the house in the morning, you won't see Library Girl. You can set the morning event probability to 0% in the guide to help with that. Turning hints on there will also show at the top if you've already seen an event or not.
You also need to have already fingered someone for her to appear, though if you're quite far through the game you've probably done that already.
At that point, if all of those are met, when you enter the library the game essentially flips a coin to see if she appears. You don't need to study, just enter the library, so if you're sure you've met all the criteria just go in and out of the library on the Saturday evening until she appears.
Let me know if she still doesn't show up and I'll look into it some more.
Ah, I'm so sorry about that! It'll be fixed in the next update, but in the meantime you can try clicking ignore (though I'm not sure it'll work), but what will definitely work is if you meet those two characters first! Look out for an event when you're on your way to class and see a band poster. Once you've played their scene, the library scene will play without issue.
Apologies again, hope you enjoy the rest of the game though! <3
Thank you so much for the lovely comment <3 Part of the reason I made the game was because I found it difficult to find lesbian games!
If you've not played since v0.59, you'll have tonnes of new stuff to see! I was particularly proud of the day 60 party :3 hope you enjoy all the new content!
Yeah, I actually wound up removing it for narrative reasons! The whole game is played out from MC's perspective, without hearing the thoughts of others or seeing scenes MC doesn't see.
Except for that one time right at the beginning, where you saw Scarlett in her room. I felt it set a bad precedent for the rest of the game and eventually took it out.
Canonically it still happens though, as Scarlett admits the following morning :3
You're very welcome! I'm glad we were able to get your saves working again 😊
Thank you so much for the lovely words, they made me a little teary with happiness 🥲 I really wanted that moment with Hannah to feel special, tender and vulnerable, so I'm really glad that came across.
I'm making Ashley's scene right now! We'll get to know her a little deeper...
Hope you enjoy the librarian scenes, and the scenes from the previous update of you haven't found them yet!
Yes there's a fair bit now! It's all fairly late game and it's all optional, but there's strap-ons during the day 60 party, Hannah's level 5 scene and the level 6 scenes of BFF, Ezri, Hannah and Scarlett (and Ashley when I make it!)
Thank you so much! I made it precisely because I couldn't find many, glad mine has joined the ranks :3
Like I said I don't know about the itch app, but I might be able to help a little bit.
Renpy saves on Mac are supposed to be stored in $HOME/Library/RenPy/ and then a Yuri University folder. If the app uses the same file type, which I assume it does, at the very least I could either help you reconstruct your lost save, or even just give you a little boost to speed through the early game easier.
I won't finish making the game for at least a year, so that would be a big wait, but totally understand 😥
I'm not too familiar with the itch app, but what platform do you play on? If it's android, the saves are often baked into the app, and so deleting it between updates may also delete your saves.
If you're on PC, shoot me a message on discord and maybe I can help, I'll at least give it a go!
When you reach day 80, you're given the option to set the day back two weeks, keeping all your progress. You can do that as many times as you want in order to see the new content each update adds :)
Thank you so much! I'm planning a sort of "where are they now" series of epilogues, so there'll be plenty of happy endings :3 still a little while to go though!
How hard it is to make a game like this depends on your prior experience, but as a guideline I released the first version 3 and a half years ago, and I worked on it on and off for over a year before that.
If you want to give it a go I definitely recommend it! But I'd suggest starting with a small VN first, just to get the basics down.
