Hey man, good to see you're still up and about. Ive been following the game for a while, and reading your dev logs too. You've been through a rough time, and I'm glad you can still find it in you to continue the game.
regarding Kali and Android... an idea would be to have Kali use a VR headset and Android hacks it and turns it into a sexual game that Kali can't turn off, while MC is made aware and jumps in.
I'm curious to see where the story is going to. I like the extra attention given to the "minor" characters too. Curious though, will there be more H scenes with Lin's sister? Because the moment you buy her and have her kick the habit, she doesn't really do much else.
Looking forwards to future progress, and I hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Man I dont know where to start. I love the girls all having an actual personality, Im REALLY intrigued by the story, the bodies are all super hot, and the action scene... holy crap I *LOVED* that part.
Im hoping you'll manage to finish this game and I'll gladly join your patreon for this if you're still working on it.
One point of "criticism" though. During the "thigh" moment with Annie, her right arm is kind of ... in an unnatural position. Like it has no bone in it. Its nothing huge but it kind of threw me off XD.
Anyway, loving this game and I really hope to see it finished! Havent enjoyed an actual PROPER visual novel in a very long time!
you can succeed, but you need to understand what the quiz means. It's supposed to test your personality; are you a giver or a taker. In this case Susan is a dom, so she expects you to give, not to take.
I dont remember what the answers are from the top of my head, but you just pick the answers that show you care about your partners needs.
aw man, I purposely decided to not pursue ANY of the sisters or mom, and just have sex with ana/alina/kira... and that was a very interesting ending. Mind you I didnt do ANYTHING regarding a relationship with any of them (went to the movies with the youngest sister but i dont think that influenced anything)
So, James near the end (after I told him to go after the youngest sister), suddenly mentioned wanting a threesome, despite the talk of him and ana never happening.
Then I got to the endings;
- you continued to live with your mother until you moved out
-oldest sister got married to brody, then divorced him after 3 years
- middle sister's photographs went on the net and she moved out
- youngest sister grew into a careerlady and an independant woman
- You apparantly got MARRIED to Ana, but you still have sex with alina on a regular basis
- Ana and James got MARRIED too, AFTER "the wedding" (who'se wedding?) on Belugia, then moved back there.
- You dated Kira for a while, even when married to Ana, and Kira was ok with that.
- James is still your best friend, despite moving to another city
- Brody became a drifter (nice touch with that crackwhore behind him btw)
So urm... that sure was an interesting ending that made no sense in some areas XD. Though I purposely avoided most interactions, this was a hot mess. But awesome :D.
[edit] Huh, this is weird. I loaded an auto-save before the ending because Im sure you (creator) would like to see how this all happened, and suddenly one ending changed; Im suddenly married to Alina instead of Ana?
[edit 2]
Lmao I reloaded the SAME file again and now Im married to Kira. What even XD???
Im just posting what happened in my own playthrough.
I got the elder sister to the point where she finds out the boyfriend cheating and she breaks up with him. However, after the bikinishopping I never got any further interactions with her, and the relationship status never changed from "no". While continueing the game and establishing a relationship with the other two sisters, it ended up with the elder sister doing the "confessions" while talking about her upcoming wedding (which she shouldnt have) with Brody (who was long gone by this point). During her confession she flatout tells the guy that both sisters are pregnant and theres only the brother in the picture. Then she goes "no, that couldnt be" and they have a talk about the situation. Storywise, it shouldnt make sense.
The point system, its possible that didnt do anything. Considering how its a fairly "do or dont" game (which is the case with most erotic graphic novels) I was a bit confused by it. First I thought it meant corruption = game over, but then I realised the more kinky stuff you did the higher it got, so I felt that COULD have been related. However, it never really did much with any of the decisions, so I suppose you are right on it having no effect.
As for Alina and Ana, again it's just my findings. During my first two playthroughs where I did sleep with ana and alina I never got the james confession (yet near the end he did mention they're having sex together, even if both girls are in a "relationship" with you). During the third playthrough I did NOT enter a relationship with either, and I got the James confession.
I imagine this game's story looking like a branch, and for some reason scenes that should happen, dont happen, and scenes that shouldnt happen (or even be possible) do happen. Its like, if certain events did NOT happen (like getting together with the elder sister) the game assumes you never did anything with her and she's still in her relationship. Its hard to put into words, English isn't my main language, I hope that makes some sense.
Anyway, I am kind of sad this game will only have one more update as Im a sucker for games that establish relationships (even if its porn). I think this game reached a solid 2nd place for me, right below Katawa Shouju (which is a great emotional rollercoaster) and just above the Sagara Family (which I just love for the sometimes silly writing).
I do have some save files, though they were made at random parts in my 3-4 playthroughs so I dont really know what happened where. Honestly what baffles me mostly is Riley and Elder sister. And also that the sister you're not in a relationship with kind of spills the beans on the home situation, which is odd from a story standpoint (the youngest sister hates mrs steele, and while the elder sister is very naive I doubt she would talk bad about her brother or sisters/mom like that, even with a priest).
If you dont mind my asking, the trust and corruption system: how does it work exactly? Based on what happened with the youngest sister, the corruption decides how likely it is they will be kinky with you, while trust decides if you can stick around or not? It seems to work very well with youngest/middle sister, but while the trust on elder sister is high as hell (21 or something after the breakup), it seems her corruption never rises. And the mom's stats never seem to go above 13 or so.
Also, this reminds me of another thing: Relationship (yes), relationship (dominant), and relationship (love). I reached "dominant" with middle sister (paying her small amounts of money, then opt to not do so because she talked bad, then saying you'll give her the money afterall), which then led to "relationship yes", and after the nerd thing it turned into "love". The youngest sister however NEVER had her status changed beyond "yes" no matter what I did. Is this an oversight, an unfinished idea, or another bug?
Anyway, I'll fiddle around with the game some more later. If my own guess is correct, I think sleeping with other women seems to (heavily) botch up certain story progressions, notably Ana and Alina early on.
So... there's a few things on this.
First I'll get the positives out of the way: I love this. The artstyle is great, and I actually enjoy the stills, instead of regular animations. Ive read you had some trouble in that department, but I believe you're able to get much more details on the stills whereas normally the animation might look too "different".
I also really love the characters. James is awesome, and the banter between you and the middle sister can be very charming.
But, here come the problems I have. I know the game isnt finished, so maybe these will be finished at some point:
1) Story progression doesnt always make sense, with the wrong dialogue/story playing in the end. In first playthrough I failed to go on any path (I slept with everyone except the sisters/mom), and I just ended up skipping days, until suddenly your character declares he's moving away, saying goodbye to everyone.
On a third playthrough, I ended up with the youngest and middle sister... and after the middle one tried a wedding dress, we skipped about a 100 days and suddenly she's pregnant, and the elder sister is suddenly BACK with her asshole boyfriend (despite having broken up with him over his office adventures) before.
2) I dont have sound. Im not sure if this is by design, but its kind of disappointing to have to run background music. Fortunately the Katawa Shouju OST is good enough, but its still a missing element.
3) cant believe Im saying this but... the amount of sex is sometimes really distracting. Early on its kind of exciting when establishing some form of connection, but now I realised that anything female in this game that isnt Mrs Steele is willing (very willing) to just fuck you. The two friends of the youngest sister, I understand. They're sluts, they have kinks. But suddenly, boom, the cousin wants a piece too. Then the random bar girl. Then the bar girls mother (and even the brother if her stories are to be believed). Then the nerd's mom, the yoga instructor, etc etc. I understand its an erotic visual novel but this kind of feels like overkill. Plus, Ive realised that almost anytime you turn someone down it kind of makes it seem like your character is an asshole for doing so.
4) it ook me 3 playthroughs to somewhat figure out what the corruption stands for, and even now it's not very clear entirely. It seems like an interesting system that could have been explored a bit more.
5) For the life of me I cant seem to figure out how to go the elder sister route. I got rid of that asshole, but after that, and the game on the beach I never interacted with her again. Not ever. I got a scene where she and the middle sister got into wrestling, but nothing else.
6) sometimes it seems the routes just... eliminate certain scenes. I didnt get the james confession during my first playthrough, so the sudden comment of a threeway with Ana kind of blindsided me. On the THIRD playthrough I DID get that scene though. I have no idea why that scene wouldnt be there. It seems like a rather important part of the story.
Anyway, Ive greatly enjoyed this so far and I hope for more content and a finished product at some point. The art is amazing, and the dialogue can be very amusing. There are some typos every now and then, but nothing that ruins the experience for me. So thanks!
[edit]
Lmao, okay so... Riley just moved in, the game ACKNOWLEDGES that I met her through the job at the supermarket... yet the elder sister is still planning her wedding. I think I broke it into the 4th dimension
[edit 2]
(oldest sister): "You're not all seriously considering this are you? I have a life here. A fiancee"
Yup. 4th dimension.
