itch.io

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Seriously from the bottom of my heart that means so much to me!! I'm sorry that development is so slow, my youtube channel usually takes ALL my spare attention and energy, but I think I can finish the Reboot THIS year!

Yes it will be free, both PPG games will stay free here on itch.io. The only downside is there's no MAC or android version, nor a STEAM version (I've been trying to figure out how to upload on steam for years!) Seeing people enjoy my game and make fanart, and head canons has been amazing, and I'm so very thankful!

CONGRATULATIONS! This was a lot of fun to play! (and thank you for that picture♥♥♥)

Thank you so much for playing!!!! Yup these two games are directly attached. Reboot is a way to get more lore about the whole world as well as the events after the first game and how it affected the other guys, with a way to find Ashton again♫

SPOILER

The "Baihr_survey" should have popped up from the first Picture Perfect Boyfriend game, it's a simple .txt file that's the last "part" of Ashton's consciousnesses. HOWEVER if you can't find it or don't want to replay the whole first game over, you can create a simple .txt file and name it "Baihr_survey" (i don't think caps matter but the underscore is there) and plop that into the www folder of PPB Reboot, just pretend it's from Ash, hehe. And Red eyed Ashton's true ending would need to be gotten as well♫

Congratulations!!!♫♪

I absolutely LOVE this game so far! I haven't even gotten all the endings yet but I am smitten with Miro and his crew of "friends". I love your art style and the flow of the story, and, while one song got a copyright claim, the music is so cool and fits so well. I hope you’ll enjoy my video of my playthrough. I think I’ve made it extra silly, complete with a scale of how much Miro actually starts to piss me off. I’ve heard there are bugs but so far I haven’t found any game breaking ones, and at times I’m unsure if Miro is speaking a certain way in English or if it’s mistranslated. But it was so much fun to learn a bit of Polish in the process! Can’t wait to play more of this!! Great job!!♫♪

Я абсолютно обожаю эту игру до сих пор! Я еще даже не получил все концовки, но я влюблен в Миро и его команду «друзей». Мне нравится ваш художественный стиль и ход истории, и, хотя на одну песню поступила претензия на авторские права, музыка такая классная и так хорошо подходит. Надеюсь, вам понравится мое видео с моим прохождением. Думаю, я сделал это еще более глупо, в комплекте с масштабом того, насколько Miro на самом деле начинает меня бесить. Я слышал, что есть ошибки, но до сих пор я не нашел ни одной, ломающей игру, и иногда я не уверен, говорит ли Miro определенным образом по-английски или это неправильно переведено. Но было так весело выучить немного польского языка в процессе! Не могу дождаться, чтобы поиграть в это снова!! Отличная работа!! ♫♪

hehehehehehe HOI!♫♪

It was a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy it!!

It's very OK, I don't mind mind supporting your hard work twice! It was just really weird.

I'm glad that you're sticking to your vision! The most important advice for any game developer or writer is to make it for YOU first and foremost. To try and tweak your story for every possible kind of person when you don't plan to would lead to burn out quickly (this coming from a former people pleaser!) I can't wait to see more of Sabrina (and hopefully not get her killed...alot)

Sorry to complain but I'm sure I bought this game for at least the $8 price to get the full blessing version but when I tried to re-download it (because I was having trouble opening the version I currently had) it says at the top of the screen that I only paid $7.99 and had to pay for it again to get the full version. I also checked another game, "Teacher's Pet", that I'm sure I bought the $8 version of and that too says that I only paid $7.99 for it! I don't think the dev has any control over this and it might actually be a mistake with either itch.io or paypal, but just saying this in case anyone has had this happen to them too.

Thank you so much for playing!! (Ashton is very excited to be your one and only♥)

AH♫♪ I am very excited!!

Thank you so much for playing my game! I feel very happy when people are surprised by the Ashton with red eyes, (we call him Ashino as in "Ashton in name only" haha). I hope you got to unlock the real Ashton by putting the letter he gives you from the first game into this game. I am very proud of the date you can have with him, it feels so sweet even though I wrote it. I think I will be playing this game on my YouTube channel this Saturday in a live stream♫ Thank you again for playing!♫

WOOOOOOO!!!!♥♥♥

thank you so much FOR PLAYING!!! I'm so glad you liked my boi Ashton♥

Hold onto that file he gave you, you didn't hear this from me but, you might need it later on.

Anyway I hope you enjoy "Ashton" in PPB ReBOOT (it's the sequel). It's not finished but the demo that's there is pretty hefty♫

We appreciate you so much, and fully understand that you need to take care of yourself and slow down, in fact I'm sure everyone who has played your amazing games encourages it! I was moved when I read your dream of creating more games for the female gaze, it's something all media has been severely lacking and your games are a perfect blend of story telling and gorgeously animated ahem, scenes. But your life and well being should always be your top priority, you can't pour from a teapot that's empty. Never feel bad about needing to step away and take a break or slow down, you don't need to earn rest, you can rest whenever you want to. That's a lesson I myself had to learn as well. 

Thank YOU so much for all that you do, please take care of yourself, as I always say a great game is never rushed!

It really was a lot of fun! Thank you for watching!!

I think it's rare I've gotten so flustered from such a teasing character to the point that I like them even more! This is defensively one of my favorites♥♫♪

I love his design so very much, it's so unique and cute! I'd really love to see more of him in either form but that's entirely up to you. This is definitely one of my favorites now!

Jim seems so sweet that for a while I forgot the warnings of this game!

Thank YOU so much for watching! I really appreciate it🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for such clear updates and directions (and walkthroughs), we appreciate that so very much, you've put so much love and work into this wonderful game!!! *sobs*

OOOOOOOOOH♫♪

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Man has it been THREE years?! My baby boys have grown and changed so much from a little game based on YB to having their own lore and arcs, and I'm beyond excited that people love my boys (even Ashino♫) I'm glad you got to see the ending, I can't wait for more people to see it, I look at the final picture and tear up a little myself. I appreciate it so much that you've followed my game!

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I loved giving the boys actual lives and traumas of their own, even Ashino developed more AS I made the game, I actually didn't intend for him to be likable at all LOL, and games breaking the 4th wall is one of my favorite tropes♥

I have worried about the sizes of the sprites, when I made the first PPB it was only Ash who is rather tall, but in adding John who is supposed to be taller and Vincent who is the shortest, I didn't think how they would look all on screen. Though I'd have to do a ton of redrawing/resizing which would really burn me out so it will be swept under the rug. At least it's a lesson learned if I make another RPG Maker VN.

I often suggest PPB in tik toks about Yandere VNs so who knows, maybe Ashton will be in those edits with Sol, and Ren, and Mychael some day♫

AH!♥ Thank you so much!!! I love your arts!!♫ 

It's funny, I feel happy when people say they dislike or are irritated by Ashino, it's what i intended but he's actually become kind of popular LOL! and Vincent was one of my favorite routes to write (teared up while writing it and while playtesting it!)

Thank you so much for playing!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING!!! I'm always worried that people will know the twist before it's revealed and a lot of people are actually surprised!!♫♪

 I'm currently working on the sequel called "Picture Perfect Boyfriend: ReBoot" where you can actually get to know the other guys! There's a pretty hefty free demo here on itch.io , just the very final endings aren't done.

I also have a fun silly youtube channel "Espoir du vide" where I play tons of similar indie visual novel games if you'd like to check it out♫

I am very very excited!!!!!
