Glad to hear it, been holding off on finishing the game until the final bits of side content were done. Thanks for all the hard work y'all have put in over the last several years, looking forward to completing my save the next time I have a couple hours free.

No trouble at all. Would far rather y'all took the time you needed, the demo has proven immensely satisfying so far. As a side note, is there a chance of selling the game on other platforms such as Patreon? I haven't used my Steam account in so long I fear my CPU would go into a coughing fit from the amount of dust and cobwebs it'd encounter, usually prefer to keep my files separate if possible.
Everyone has their limits, if you feel like it's wrong to do so that's you prerogative as a dev, would far rather you felt proud about what you've created than cater to the customer. We're all degenerates here, but that doesn't mean we don't have our own views and moral limits, so if anything I'm glad you're doing so, for your own mental health if nothing else.
Bit late to the party to ask of course, but would it be possible to do like some of the other impacted devs have done and set up a Discord ticket system? Those who bought the game provide proof, then a link is sent that has the latest update files. That or maybe a legacy page for buyers like what Heavy Hearts did a while back. Just spitballing more than anything, but give it some thought I guess, really liked everything you've done so far.
Guess it's a set of animations I'm unlikely to ever see. It may be boring to some, but I prefer to keep my characters as close to morally good as a narrative allows, even if it means I end up missing out sometimes. Still, it's cool to see you've put as much thought into the consequences as this. Looking forward to 0.6 whenever it drops.
Freaking me out a little bit here BRdsky, was reading this while peeling a tangerine after a longass shift. But paranoia aside, glad to see you'll soon be back in action, gave the current version a try about half a year ago, was pretty impressed with the ideas presented and just how alive the world was for how early in development it felt narratively. Can't wait to see what you come up with next, been waiting a good while for fresh news.
To you both as well, thanks for making this a year worth having. Been a genuine joy reading every bit of progress made, from your coding stories Shady 1 to every piece of artistry you've put to the page Shady 2. I may not be as active now as I was towards the start of the year, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll always be here to see what you fine folk bring to bear. Here's to hoping 2026 proves to be more fruitful than ever for us all, can't wait to see what you both bring up next. For the last time this year, but sure as hell not the last overall, goodnight and best of luck to y'all. Peace.
You'll keep whatever you earned during the Halloween event, but the NPC will be gone and anything left undone will be lost. I'd recommend grinding out all the events in the order they were released, then starting a save in the Christmas event here if you want all the goodies that've released so far, thankfully phracassado actually keeps the old updates up as pages here.
That sketch of Violet is frigging adorable, can't wait to see its finished version. Stepfather used to live in Germany so I've heard plenty of horror stories Shady 1, you have my sympathies. Glad to hear you were able to make some progress towards the class events and do a good bit of maintenance on the code, it may not be much but with how hectic your life is right now I suppose that's to be expected. Hope everything's going well for you and Shady 2 despite the travel headaches, guess we'll talk again here or on Discord later, but for now I should get some sleep. If you celebrate it, just wanna wish you an early Merry Christmas for you and yours. Peace.
Guess I have a reason to revamp my jock character again, probably still going to make him out as an intelligent bruiser like he was in the first save, but now instead of a science major he can stick to his roots as a sports major. Thanks as always for all the hard work y'all put in, looking forward to the update whenever it drops.
Good news all around, glad to see you were able to begin to resolve the progress problem to your satisfaction. It does make me wonder how the professors would react to seeing a scrawny layabout suddenly become the equivalent of an Olympian athlete or gain an IQ of 180+ over the course of a month, but I suppose that'll become apparent in due time.
Also glad to hear that more progress is being made so far as the Trial and Violet's events, I know it's a slog for you right now so every bit of news is appreciated Shady 1. And Shady 2, if all the girls' outfits look anywhere near as good as Aisling does here, we're in for a hell of a lot of eye candy in the future. Only problem is now I'll be fantasizing over Elizabeth's look I suppose, but it's a good problem to have.
Thanks for another look behind the scenes in any case, hope as always that life's treating the both of you good and that you're in good health. Cya again next devlog or on Discord, whichever comes first, but for now I'm gonna call it a night here. Peace.
Got a job there a short while ago after a long dry spell, been working in textiles for about two weeks now. Fairly boring work all things considered, but it pays more than zilch and lets me help redistribute stuff that would've otherwise been trashed to a new home. Also means I get to find some pretty interesting stuff in the donations, seen multiple rare and high ticket items already, and some pretty weird stuff besides.
I've said it before and I'll say it again Shady 1, I'd far rather you took the time to make something you both can be proud of than sticking to arbitrary deadlines. This is an indie game and a passion project, if you're not happy with what you made what's the point of making it in this context?
All that being said, as always I appreciate the transparency for things behind the electric veil, it's always nice to get insights into both of your creative processes. Hope Shady 2 is feeling better after her illness the previous week, but if she's still out of it say hey to her for me. Hope life's treating you both well and that you're in good spirits. Talk to you again next time or on Discord, whichever comes first, but I'll stop rambling for now, been a really long week sorting stuff for Goodwill.
A surprise and a pleasure as always, thanks for the headsup. Can't wait to see Naomi, Honoka, and Aida's new scenes, and it's nice to see progress being made on the Halloween MC events after they were mentioned on Discord. Thanks once more for the hard work y'all put in, looking forward to the update whenever it drops.
