I know I stated I'd not make excuses or apologize...
I honestly did give up on making the game until My friends and fans of the game were brutally honest with me about my false promises and work ethic. 2023 was basically me having to learn how to be happy again.
2020-2021 was a nightmare on my mental health, and around last update, I had a mental breakdown as I could no longer feel happy about my work. After many attempts, I finally realized the issue was me. I need to see people love my work and that I DO matter. I forgot why I made the game in the first place, and because of the fbi incident and other things, I lost my will to try at all.
It wasn't until October, mid November, I had some friends and old fans tell me they 'gave up' and saw me as a last cause. I ended up having to prove to myself I was worth trying to salvage the game....so I went to work. I set up a schedule for myself to work on the story and progression as I wanted the story to be what I dreamed it could be. I'm not perfect but I will try for my sake and hope we can forget this tainted excuse of my failures so we can see Lolicon Market grow into something great!
I'll try to be more active on ATF and update regularly every month on the 25th.
Game has been updated! sorry for the excuses, I've been away until I could make an update that will progress the story. I hope I can gain your trust again but I'm happy to make progress.
The game is set up in 4 parts(or weeks). the idea is to introduce characters and gradually focus on a set amount of characters for x week then (if you didn't date or make them love you) it gives you another chance with other dateable npcs. Suiko, Redia and Suiko are the main focus of the story but the game has about 9 NPCs ATM and 15 in total planned. the obvious event is being in day01 and day02, where if you make the wrong choices you wont see Suiko or Redia anymore. You are able to date multiple NPCs at a time(max supported atm is 3) but it will complicate things regarding the story. the game is set up to introduce or focus on more npcs if you negect or dont see other ones. Lilith, Karen, Amber and Nanako is set up to be characters that start as randoms npcs but if you invest in their plot the start there own routes.
Don't worry, Amber knows(She has trust issues but really isnt a bad person; hell she helps you out a lot.) when that time comes just be honest. The rabbit toy is for a much later event and isn't for suiko. their are 3 characters who have or like mr.rabbit. Suiko and Arisa(The sister) if you read her journal IF suiko's love is 0. the next update will explain more about the lore of mr.rabbit.
it's better than that. Lupeta was a friend of Adam back in school and Arisa stuffed her bra in that scene.
you will see Lupeta again and her twin daughters but Lupeta is expected not to be the same as she used to be. most of the past characters suffered pretty bad upon Adam leaving school.
there are 5 more characters(Dateable) and 4 new npcs yet to be introduced; one is planned to be introduced at the end of day03. One of the 5 characters has been introduced just not in the main plot(or timeline.) So far, I know what people want in a character.
I used Twine 1.4.2 with sugarcube. it's made for multiple path story games but with some html and javascript can make just about anything. I plan to make a barebone version of the engine someday with video guides to explain my madness.

Dev Notes:
I am Pretty pissed off. I planned to have a lot more done. From December 5th until Jan 28th, I Moved to a new house and barely had any time to work on the game. I started to to get back on track but I'm having a problem with getting back into the flow of things. This isn't a issue and it seems to be just in my head, but I swear if I don't finish the Suiko event soon I'm gonna scream! I'm sorry if you guys feel like I'm not moving fast enough but It appears that I'm finally progressing the plot. Suiko's event has proven to be a real test. the event is a test of a what a 'date' event would be like. the issue is I feel like i'm stalling the plot. If you don't count the missing 'force smalltalk' event, I FINALLY got to PART 3 of her event. While I'm going to work on it, I need to progress the main plot. Sorry if i disappointed any of you.
Next Update will be in 1-2 weeks, which will have more content for the lo-mart event and the new typo reports/bugs.
No, the game is still be developed(working on it right now.) I'm trying for a release before the 20th. I am active on my discord so feel free on hmu there for questions and concerns. I don't plan to stop working on the game for it's a passion project; I've just moved so took a while to set back up.
No new story updates due to losing progress due to Atom breaking all the progress, which will be easy to redo. Keep Tabs as I will be updating more often.
I missed some small formatting that will be fixed next build.
