That's true. Maybe he's 3 foot 6.

If we use sprite method, and crop the image to measure from their head, we get:

Cole - 490 pixels
Sidd - 625 pixels

If we apply that ratio to Sidd's 7 foot, we end up with about a respectable 5 foot 6.

Which...actually fits. That height can simultaneously give someone short-man syndrome, f**kboi style, and twink energy. The gay trifecta. And it fits our boy Cole.

Well, until we hear otherwise, for me Cole's height will be 5 foot 6.

Or he could just change Sidd and Val's height to 13 feet tall. Depends on how ADD he's feeling about changing the script.

So what does this all tell you?

It tells you that @shirokoi probably did not think about the height all that seriously when he started writing this, and will probably have to retcon some of the dialogue relating to Sidd's height in a future update.

80cm or 2 foot 6.

So slightly taller than a tennis racquet now, About the same size as an adult baseball bat.

BUT, Cole is not a male human. He is a anthromorphic Striped Hyena, and his design is shown that his body reflects that.

So, if we instead used male Striped Hyena limb-to-body proportions, and then upscaled it to human body type, his height would now be....

Now, if we used the human male Golden Ratio as a standard, this would mean Cole stands at a whopping....66.75cm or 2 foot 2.  For reference, that makes him slightly shorter than a tennis racquet.

In chapter 2, when they're in the library:

"Cole snorted and gave Sidd an encouraging pat on the shoulder. Or hip. He could barely reach half his height."

So that means if Cole standing extended his arm up fully, he could  just reach half Sid's height. That is 108cm

I broke my original answer up into parts to make it easier to read.

I think you can get a rough estimate.

In Chapter 1:

When talking about Val, Clyde says "Clients are surprisingly more cooperative when you've got a 7 foot tall croc on your side."

Cole observes about Val: "Despite the fact that Sidd stood at a similar height, the crocodile's mere presence seemed to dwarf him in comparison."

So, we can probably assume Sidd is about 7 foot. Let's make it 216cm for easier calculation later.

The Dean doing the opening assembly gave me life.

I think I figured out what it is, the alignment.

If you look at day1 lines 289 - 309, you'll see that they're not aligned correctly under the "if persistent.repeat == "false":"

So they end up falling outside of the "if persistent.repeat == "false":"

Also, maybe put at least 3 blank lines between where the new content ends and the old content starts up again. That way people who have already read the content can continue skipping seen text.

I think an example is in Day1

In line 29 you have 

if persistent.repeat == "true":

I think you meant to have

elif persistent.repeat == "true":

Or maybe have

Line 9
if persistent.repeat =! "true":

Line 29

#Jayce and the gang are all at Dean Mo’s secret college bar to blow off some steam and get some well deserved drinks.

Mo “So, what’s everybody having?”

John “The usual, a confrontation with an authority figure.”

Mo “NOT IN MY GODDAM BAR YOU WON’T BOY!”

John "Oh, right. How about a life changing revelation then?”

Tom “Don’t look at me, I’m not your real brother.”

Maccon "Ah…I’d like an illicit affair with a man.”

Mo "I think you’ve had enough of those already.”

Fox “Well, I’d like to clumsily written out of the script please….oh, my heart.”

Me when new update drops:

If v0.34 was a Sesame Street episode:

" Today's update is bought to you by the letter 'douchebag'. "

Okay, having finally finished all the possible routes, endings, and dialogue options, I have one teeny-tiny, barely significant criticism.

And it's regarding the saucy bits.

Now aside from a few moments with Dean, whenever it gets to the part where cheesy saxaphone music should start playing, we are instead greeted with a black screen and some text variance of

"...and one thing led to another and now your clothes don't wear as well the next day and your hair doesn't fall in quite the same way. Now moving along swiftly..."

Like, no,no,no,no,no! Don't tell me "one thing led to another."!

I want to see in, full blasphemous, 4K, UHD, glory exactly how I made Roswell squeel like a pig!

I want be able to count how many times I rotisseried on Sal's joystick before making him spill the beans!

I need to know the answer to Dean's question "Does Orlando have balls?" and more importantly "What do they taste like?"

I need that minigame where we try to find out what lasts longer, Ty's dick or a feather?

And you owe it your fans, to help us finally solve the mystery of what would happen if you scratched the base of Hoss's tail while he's mid-orgasm.

These are truly the mysteries we need to solve!

Goddamit! Everytime I load this game up, about 2 minutes in I have this urge for a cup of coffee.

Are you talking about Klaus? Because you can get that route through Jorgen as long as you sit with Mikko on Day 1, follow Klaus into the forest on day 1, choose Jorgen as your star gazing partner, and then follow Klaus while talking to Jorgen.

My experience so far:

Nordic Characters: Subtle exchanges, stolen glances, self imposed barriers, regrets, longing, hope, emotional and physical yearning, connections, embracing, hints at something more, slow burn into what might be massive sexual conflagration.

Polish Character: Get drunk and suck their massive dick while watching anime. 

As a European who has dated both Nordic and Polish men, I hate how accurate this is.

Okay, probably because I'm not from the US this surprised me, but the town of Echo is a real place.  

It has a motel, a diner, Route 66 is nearby as is Echo Reservoir, and if you follow Dikker Hill Drive, it leads you to a large property that overlooks the town.

There are hiking trails that you take through the canyon, a NA reservation, and the University of Pueblo is one state over.

In fact, the more I look at this town and the surrounding area on Google Maps, the more I feel a little weird out by the similarities.

Is it just coincidence or did someone who work on this game actually come from Echo or the surrounding area?

BTW, your question on Twitter, I think it's called "Imposter syndrome".

Or at least I would like to buy you a cup of coffee but I cannot figure out how. Send hlp!

@monchimutt

First Limits, then Repeat, and now you are back. This is a good start to 2023.

So happy I bought you a cup of coffee.

I laughed when I read your last update about your meds because I was dealing with the same thing last week.

As someone who deals with MHI, the struggle is real and sometimes people just do not get it.

Like no Sharon, a paracetamol isn't' "basically the same thing". (Bless her though, heart's in the right place.)

And while you're waiting, real life still carries on all:

"Hi, you've reached the brain of 'Functioning Adult'.

Unfortunately, I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message I'm sure 'Bipolar Man-Child' will get back to you.

Once he's finished surfing Wikipedia at 3 am on a Wednesday trying to remember which Baldwin was in that movie he can't remember the name of."

Fair enough. You now have another Patreon member.

BTW, I say that as one of the filthy pirates who downloaded the pirated version and then justified it to myself by contributing $5 through itch.io using the "Name your own price".

Not cool, I know.

Why not make the Patreon build available here for a few $?

Release the Patreon version for your backers, then about 1-2 weeks later (which is about how long it takes for a pirated version to circulate) release it here for like $5. (Alongside the free non-Patreon version)

That way those of us that want the Patreon version without wanting to be Patreons can get it, and contribute in our own way.

As it is, itch.io lets you contribute cash for the free version "Name your own price". 

The Patreons get the benefit of either paying less ($3) or paying more but getting more.

Those of us with disposable cash and ADHD (like myself) can contribute in our own way.
