I do not think you have to worry about us players counting the animations and us saying OMG, Saf-Tea exaggerated the number ๐Ÿ˜†.  That movement really adds to the realism of a scene so I will not ever complain however you want to count it.  Besides, 43 is still a lot.  This next update is sounding great and I want to thank you for all the hard work โค๏ธ.

I hope this means "PC" in the "come-home-premium-edition-win.zip" version.  I do not use Windows anymore to play games.  (That fact also prevented me from being hacked from a game on discord but that is another story).  Anyway, I have an older version of this game and it was for PC.  Is this also a "PC" version?

I know this game is not rated as number one for HS games (by those who do those kind of ratings).  

While I agree with most of those ratings I still think this is for me, the number one HS game I have found and their number one game is not even close to this.  Thank you for doing such a good job.

I played the game from the beginning to the end.  I liked everything about the story and it kept getting better ๐Ÿ‘. The only problem I found was the font in the text box.  For some reason I have a very hard time reading it compared to other games.  I know my eyes are not great but this font was very difficult for me.  If that could be changed it would help a lot ๐Ÿ™‚.  PS: The font here on Itch is perfectly fine.

I am pretty sure this is the most informative post I have ever read on Itch (and some are pretty good).  I think NOT having 20 love interests is a good idea.  It will make your life easier and I cannot keep track of that many very easily anyway ๐Ÿค”.  A little PS: In the line starting with "โ€ข Made Suzy and Lisa's" I think the word later in the line is "know" and not now.  Sorry but I am cursed seeing every teeny tiny grammar error.

This question has been asked before and the answer is still "not yet".

No spoilers, just play it ๐Ÿ™‚.  It is totally worth it.

For anyone who might be completely confused right now after reading the comments, Riley is from "The Better Deal" and NOT from "Beauty and the Thug" ๐Ÿค“.

Well I know when I will be getting mine ๐Ÿ˜‰.  Always good to hear from you (everywhere) ๐Ÿ’•.

As always it is great to hear from you.  Especially good news.   Yenna is looking damned good in that render (which I hope was not supposed to be here because it is not ๐Ÿ‘€).  All your renders are looking better all the time ๐Ÿ‘Œ.

๐Ÿ‘‹ Goodby.  You can stop spamming now. You made your point.

Always great to hear from my second favorite HS game. Wait whaaaat?!!!  Only because "Hearts on Parole" rework was finally released and it looks fantastic.  It only won out by very a tiny margin.  Do not worry.  I truly love this game โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ.  I am sure the minute I play again you will jump to number one again ๐Ÿซถ.

Congratulations on getting to Steam ๐Ÿฅณ.  That is no small miracle now days.  I did wishlist yesterday.  I think I said that on discord or maybe not ๐Ÿค”.  To much going on lately ๐Ÿ˜†.

That is quite some render.  I like it.  

I am soooo glad to hear about your wife.  Health problems really suck and it is great to get some good news for a change.  Keep up the good work but don't work too hard.  You are not getting any younger and I don't want you even grumpier ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ.

I have been waiting a while for this update.  I found the game through Magnum and Hearts on Parole but I was waiting to play until this version came out ๐Ÿ™‚.  I admit that I am very excited ๐Ÿค“.  I should also warn you that the gofile link does NOT go to a download for this game.  Everywhere you click in the screen goes to endless advertisements ๐Ÿ˜’.

Just a heads up.  The gofile link does NOT got to a download for this game.  It goes not non-stop commercials no matter where you click ๐Ÿ˜’.

I write reviews but this rework is so good that I had to.  This is now one of the best HS games made and my personal favorite. The story is very well written and often laugh out loud funny.  A big plus for me.  The music is also great and really fits the atmosphere of Lone River.  How can you not love this game?  Everyone loves this game (or they have personal problems).  I know it sounds like I am repeating myself but everyone should know... everywhere.

The intertwining does sound more interesting than back to back but I would have to know more of the story to be sure.  As for the gambling, 10+ hours is epic.  I would not make it 10 minutes with my luck ๐Ÿ˜ญ.  Even with the odds in my favor.

Seriously I am not stalking you but I am having deja vu... again.  I know I said this before, but you are in all the best places ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Wow they make you jump through a lot of hoops to buy this game now ๐Ÿ™„.  Text messages, emails and Itch telling me I already own the game.  Yes, I know I own it, but that does not mean I do not want to support the next one ๐Ÿ‘.  Sheeesh what a pain in the ass!  Just take my money already ๐Ÿค‘.

Yes it is on Patreon and my PC also ๐Ÿ˜‰. I am already playing ๐Ÿฅณ.  The advantage of being a patron since 2023. I really like this game and pretty much everything 395 does.

What a pain in the ass.  I was planning to buy this game again with every update, but it seems that after the third time, Itch figured out my loophole and now I can't ๐Ÿ˜’.  I will figure out something.

I am starting to notice that you are almost everywhere I am, which can only mean you have great taste in games ๐Ÿ˜‰.

I tried to duplicate the problem you said you had.  You do know you can increase the text speed in the options, right?  

If you are having other problems, such as the images not loading fast enough that is because these are very high quality images.  You do not find that quality in other games.  My system is not the fastest, but it has no problems like the ones you described.

I am familiar with animations but I appreciate that you explained it ๐Ÿ’•.  No matter how many tricks you know, they are always a LOT of work.  Many players have no idea how much.  To do 17 unique animations had my eyes bug out ๐Ÿ‘€.  This next update will be fantastic.  I have no doubt.

Excited, yes.  One of these days I might even be able to play this game again.  I never even got to the first one ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

Please take care of yourself.  As for the wishlist, I need to start writing this s**t down.  I wishlisted so long ago, that I could not even remember (not that I can remember yesterday ๐Ÿ˜†).   Your Steam page looks really good by the way.   I am kind of glad I went back to see it.

Did you answer the other questions.  No

Do you actually know anything about AI?  Unlikely

AI has been around since well before 1999. 

It was just not called AI but it still did the same thing.

It was slower due to fewer processors and less memory in computers.

AI was already very capable using Linux in super computers.

If you are satisfied with your current software, why are you trolling this one?

You do not need to answer ๐Ÿ™„.

Have a nice day ๐Ÿ™‚.

A few questions: 

Did the software you use cost $3.00 or more than $3.00?

Does it run in every OS, or just Windows.

And finally does it support (French, English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Chinese)?

My final comment: If you expect the software to do the coding for you, you are talking about AI.  Then you will likely end up with a pile of errors in the game.  Just ask Microsoft with their Windows 11 update that even crashed their own programs.  That is also not going to cost anywhere near $3.00.  It will cost a lot of money and have a subscription to use it at all.

ะดะฐ!

๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes, I know, I am a fanatic.

That is a very good point except...  After over 500 games, I have never lost a save unless the RenPy version changed.  This might not even help if that is the case.  RenPy version changes usually break saves and if so, no old save will work.  Then if there is a bug in the game that cannot be skipped, you have a bigger problem anyway.  If something happens like loosing a HD, you will probably loose the persistent files so this will not help either.  There is always the "skip" which will allow you to quickly move trough the game to each choice.  Make that choice and move on. This normally takes very little time to get through several chapters ๐Ÿ™‚.

I bought this game.  I did not have to.  I think it is one of the best stories ever written (game or not).  The quality of the renders right up with the best from any developer.  It is difficult to say much about the game without major spoilers.  There is a LOT of emotion in this game.  No one will be left untouched.  As someone who has seen even worse loss than is portrayed in this game, there was even more emotion for me. But in this game there is also hope for the future.  I personally think that despite the loss, the MC in this game is also one of the luckiest people on earth.  Sadly due to other circumstances, I will not be playing this game in the future but everyone else who can, should.

This game just keeps getting better. The expressions like those of these characters is rare to see.  Most developers do not take the time to make such great renders.

It seems there are trolls, even on Itch โ†“ ๐Ÿ™„. Someone to be ignored.

The error is quite easy to fix, if you feel like delving into the code yourself. Sadly, it has been so long I can't remember what I did.

Well happy birthday GOA. Someday you might catch up with me ๐Ÿ˜.  Nah, not gonna happen ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Probably the best HS game made ๐Ÿ™‚. Your opinion may vary, but I don't know why it would. It is still weird that the file name does not have the version number for the .zip file ๐Ÿค”.

I could write a book on this game, but I will make this as short as possible. I bought this game here on Itch.  A review here cannot be seen by anyone so I am writing some of that here.

The game is great, and much better than I expected it to be.  The story is good and the renders are really good to excellent. The game is often very funny while keeping an air of mystery and suspense that makes the game very intriguing.  Even the music is good and usually fits the mood perfectly.

However, there are a lot of grammar errors, missing words, words in the wrong order and also incorrect words. I am logging EVERY one of these errors.  Unfortunately even after attempting to join your discord I have no access to anything that allows me to post these errors and how you can correct them.  Trust me when I say, I know what I am doing and I proofread games for many developers.  This information will tell you every .rpy file and which line number the error is on, as well as how to fix it. I could post the errors on F9... but I would prefer to avoid that if possible.  I am only there to support developers and that does not make me very popular at times.  I want to give the game 5 stars but I will hold one hostage until the corrections are made โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…  ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Thanks for the reply.  I bought the game ๐Ÿ™‚.
