The censorship deal is hilarious and I agree! Fk censorship!

I need a void to scream into.

Very excited for the next chapter and I am super impressed by your quick progress on this one.

*exasperated noises* Rant incoming I guess- This is the first I'm hearing of the NSFW changes on Itch so I don't know he details yet, but I'm sadly not surprised. I'm getting so sick of the censorship BS especially with how cliche it is at this point. Standard MO is that you draw a following, audience, fanbase (etc...) to your site, then you ban or severely limit NSFW content usually with some comments about advertising or The Children TM.

Edit: just found out it has to do with VISA and Master Card playing morality police- so now I'm angrier. The cards allow payments to PornHub and OnlyFans which have had actual content involving r@pe and the abuse of minors, but the companies are going after fictional adult content instead??? Like I'm pro removing games that are reported for blatantly harmful content or promotion of r@pe, abuse, etc, but blanket bans are always bad. Side note: Obviously PH and OF are sites that need more checks and balances in place, but i'm also kinda glad that people were dumb enough to put proof of their crimes online, because they are easier to catch and prosecute that way.

Okay I'm done now. Sorry about the rant. I live in the US, so it's already a bit of a human rights violation and censorship hell-scape right now. Like it's just some new BS everyday, so I'm enraged that even my fictional worlds are being effected by the global BS now.

It looks like in theory, only blatantly pornographic games with taboo topics should be effected, but we shall see I guess. Once the line of what is "acceptable," has moved, it's easy to keep pushing. Groups that want to censor media will be happy with the win and just push harder for more.

I can fix him

"in Soviet Russia"...

I kinda figured, because that sounds like a lot of work, so forgetting is better.

I will never understand how people can sit around wondering about something without looking it up. We all have tiny computers at our finger-tips! How are they so content not knowing?!?!?! If I do not know the answer, i must learn the answer >:D

Gates comment to Noel (in the bonus scene) about having to date instead of pulling a lover out of a box is killing me.

Edit: Also I have just discovered that I am the Fraise of a group. I will 100% research the thing being discussed, mid-discussion, so that I can answer the question.

ohhh i forgot until now. there is a continuity error with Raif's hair in ep. 5. His sprite has his hair up, but the CG in the forest has his hair down.

chapter 5 replay, STARTS NOW! (pay no attention to what time it may be in my part of the world.)

So excited to check it out!

*Gaaaassspppp*

Az needs to stop looking like such a snack.

Fun should usually be the point. 🤣 Fk everything else.

Tourism flyers/posters 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Then, if/when people ask where you got those (the merch) and what the place is, you get to to drag them down the rabbit hole and info dump on them. They will either think you are a nutter, or be interested and check out the game.

I think the issue/concern with that a lot of the time  has to do with formatting all the graphics. If this is a renpy game, I'm pretty sure renpy has options for converting your game into an android version. The problem come in with reformatting the size and location of all of the images and user interface graphics. When a game is made to fit on a computer screen it can stretch and shrink to fit most screens, but phones (and even tablets) have very different screen dimensions than a computer monitor. It can be a hell of a lot of work to convert between drastic display variations.

I  just realized the file is named 2.0-1.0 and snorted.

OMG the posters would actually be so cool. Also the t-shirt/mugs that advertise Patti's Plates would be an awesome idea. You can make them look retro and at the same time like the usual kitschy tourist junk that people pick up when they travel. I literally have several of said kitsch mugs from places I have been around the US: national parks, tourist traps, etc. In this case they would be the kind of thing you find in your Aunt or Grandparent's cupboard and immediately ask, "where, and what, the hell is Patti's Plates?"

The sticker idea with the quote makes me think you could also do some sort of campaign poster for John, except that it has a dorky or unflattering photo and was clearly a joke/prank made and put up without his knowledge.

Wait, you were working on a PhD the whole time you were working on this game? You're lunatic! (joking but also that's an insane workload)

Also, congrats!! 

What kind of arts are you thinking of for merch/rewards? (just curious)

omg *cackling* I was not expecting that early twist.  Forest confrontation scene definitely gives scolding your impulsive boyfriend vibes.

Deleted my reply comments and just added them to this post. More comments added in edits as I play through.

Potential spoilers below: 

Correction... impulsive eldrich horror boyfriend. O_O

"that's why I don't read while skateboarding anymore" *face palms* 

Small town book club casually reading the Quran is killing me.

*gasp* how could you ask me who to killlllll? I feel like if i choose the coworker it's gonna draw suspicion, but I can't curt the cinnamon rolllll.

kinky blood licking. that's gay.

meh *shrugs* Its not like they are going anywhere.

Glad to hear you are getting back on your feet. From what updates i saw/found I know that life gave you some hard punches. Thank you for the update and I'm still very much looking forward to the game. I would rather you all take your time and make something awesome than rush because of pressure to meet time goals.

When I read the part about needing help with art and programming the helpful and impulsive side of my brain jumped up to say I should offer to help. I immediately reminded the dumbass (my brain) that those tasks are way above my skill level. 

Survey has been surveyed. XD

*vibrates*

AHHHHHHHH super excited to do a fresh playthrough of the new demo!

Excited to do a fresh playthrough of the updated demo!

I belatedly realized I did the ADHD thing and missed checking updates for a few months. Then I did one of those little internal gasps when i realized the next chapter might be out.

So, ADHD brain was a pro instead of a con this time I guess?

my screaming is late because life.

Just finished a recap play of ch 3-4. 

Tomorrow i can start CH 5

*shrieking*

I need to make meme where the dark shadow is just desperately trying to reach Wil about their shuttle's extended warranty. They must be desperate after 500 years not being able to contact them.

Updating now. *glass shatters from high frequency vibration*

*vibrates at a higher frequency*

The beard thing is a kind of hilarious detail to miss- and you're right, the bare pointy chin looks a bit odd. 

That BG image is beautiful and I am ever impressed by the person you have doing the art for those.

Eventual DLC route planned

I haven't even finished the demo, but Aedar is a precious bean who must be protected at all cost.

*vibrates*

Late response, but, YOU GOT THIS!!
