that's likely why. just looked. my CPU is an  i3-1005G1, running at 1.2ghz. definitely old, and i think it's basically factory scrap. hoping to get a better one here soon.

I've got a vivobook 15. Its... I'd say around a 2018 budget model. It can run most VNs but the only one that actually gives me issue is this one. The Headmaster is a little glitch, but not full stop motion like ripples. 

I'll be updating to a newer model in a few months. Here's hoping the issue is fixed then (either my old laptop or the games files, whichever it is). 

Question: are the animated scenes supposed to be kinda stop motion, or does my computer just suck?

I know my pc is weak, but it can handle most animated Renpy VNs without issue. For some reason, ripples here seems to be the only one that really pushes its graphical limits. 

Other than that, fantastic game and I'm looking forward to the rest.

hey, so I have a side quest where I have to deliver 2 golden crosses to a priest in the capital of Central (I'm spacing the name at the moment). The only church I can find there only has 2 nuns. Anyone have any ideas?

So, not sure why but the game keeps freezing randomly. like, i'll play for 5-10 minutes, then it just stops. i have to alt-tab to quit, reopen, and resume from last save. i get another 5-10 minutes, then rinse and repeat.

also, i've tried restarting from the beginning like another person said fixed it for them. didn't help at all.

oh, for sure. but google drive has always been far more reliable for me. perhaps not in terms of availability, but as long as it is downloadable, i've never had it fail. most other mirrors have failed me on occasion.

Windows mirror (google drive) message: "Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently".   can we get a reup?

I keep wishing, but nothing keeps happening. That is to say, Dev hasn't even been on discord in over a year now. I doubt we'll ever see another update. 

so, just an FYI for Pers0nas, during the Chinaka riddles, on the first, i answered correctly. however, it was marked as wrong because it wasn't clear that it needed the qualifier first. generally, just the noun is required for that answer. 

not sure if its intended to irritate your players, or if its a limit to the coding possible in renpy. just figured you'd be interested in knowing. and if i may suggest, it might not be a bad idea to make all answers multiple choice, or allow for alternative answers (such as "name" as opposed to "your name").

Much appreciated. I missed it for lack of glasses.

Does runey have a public discord? Or is his discord entirely patron only?

Ahh. And here i was hoping for an "oops, didn't mean to send that to you, please don't look" moment.

Is there something I'm missing with the Katie message? The sclubshub.com link?

much appreciated. Thanks. 

whats the difference between the noriko special (i've seen the term tossed around) and the "animated" version? is the noriko the full game, just no animated scenes?

I personally wouldn't attempt to dev a game on less than a desktop. Its not even a matter of guts. Its a matter of airflow, imo.

Do we have an ETA? I'm on discord but haven't heard a word from him about it. Was it a patreon announcement?

i've only found ways to fuck other girls. the "sex for money" and the onis. haven't figured out a way to fuck the rest yet. i don't think it's been implemented yet.

I saw the tutorial after I commented. But thanks for the reply!  :)

question on Celestia's golden ticket. is it seriously just a raffle? toss money and hope? that's the only thing i have left to do on the current public build. and i've thrown a good $10k+ at it so far.

i misremembered my version. i'm on 0.3. a simple mistake. my bad. no, i'm not a pirate. and yes, it's only $10. but i've spent $35 on 3 other games that were subsequently abandoned. i'll wait for the final, finished version and pay for that. i'm not risking paying for another abandoned game.

Its reasonable to not want to spend money on an unfinished product. Especially when there is no guarantee it'll ever actually be finished. There are plenty of examples of abandoned games on this site alone. 

But I'm barely 10 minutes into 0.4, and its definitely worth it - assuming it doesn't get abandoned or otherwise discontinued. I'll continue with the free versions, and when its complete, I'll happily pay for the fully completed game. 

Is there somewhere to sleep for free? Like maybe with naira? I she mentions that she sleeps in her house, not the workshop, but I haven't been able to find her place yet.

Also, I just had the date with Tara. Is that the end of episodes 1-4?

oh, for sure. It works fantastic with a few older games and pretty much anything made with renpy, but as you said, pretty much any unity game after unity v2 I've tried has been beyond its capacity. 

And good to hear. As I said, I'll happily be among the first to download it when its ready :)

Are the devices here still active on this game? I'm interested to see where it goes in future.

When the android version launches, will you be making an announcement either in the dev log on here or on discord? I'm excited to play. But sadly, my laptop monitor is fairly well busted, so I have to wait.

Edit: I did try downloading the windows version for use with Joiplay, but it seems its incompatible, so waiting it is. Just wanted to let anyone else with a similar idea know ahead of time. 

I actually play the windows version on Android via the Joiplay thats mentioned at the top of the page. Works quite well, imo.

Discord, they always make an announcement whenever each update is released for both patrons and public.

Question, is it possible to fill the gallery in a single playthrough, or is it required to do multiple to fill it? Cause I'm guessing some of them can only be unlocked with specific Eve stats (affection vs submission. Im guessing here).

So, im not sure if its just me, but the uncompressed android refuses to install (i have plenty of space and ram, being 20 and 6 respectively). However, the compressed worked fine to install. 

That aside, another workaround im going to try for the higher quality images is to play the PC version via joiplay. I mention this for anyone else having similar issues. 

Quick question, if I were to pay for the extra scenes now, would I have to pay again after the next update, or would I then have full access to all future "extra scenes" editions?

Sorry for the double comment, but I wanted to split that topic from your remaining happy event.

For the happy event, use the invite button on Saturday or Sunday evening. There should be a unique option that is either a series of symbols or an emoji (I forget which). 

Double check that you have indeed completed "Walking on air" and "Divergence". if those are completed, it may be a RNG trigger, as I've never had an issue with it in any of my 3 playthroughs. 

It may also be a bug due to having the missed event "Sleep Forever", which I wouldn't know as I tend to use codes to pseudomax affection and lust early on (I hate grinding in VN games). 

Only other recommendation would be to join the discord server and ask there. The Admins tend to check that far more frequently than they do itch. 

Also, im sure there is a way to alter your save to show that you didn't get the missed event "Sleep Forever", but I'm unsure entirely, which the admins could also assist with. 

Check the wiki. It lists all requirements and location/person to speak to for all events.

Absolutely astounding game. You want sex? Its here. You want humor? Its here. You want scenes that make you feel horrible, or depressed, or the like? All here. How about a mysterious time-travel-but-not-time-travel because time travel isn't realistic story? Yup. Truly a masterpiece. 

As a final note, I want to mention that most H-games tend to have relatively two dimensional characters (I mean writing wise, not the "Molly Ideal"), but Lessons In Love seems to genuinely grow the characters. There are so many things I want to mention specifically to praise, but to prevent too many spoilers, ill try to keep it vague. 

Every character has a uniqueness to them. But there are a few that stand out. Nodoka, Touka, Yasu, Matoko, and more. They have their tropes but then defy and/or redefine them. Easily a 9/10 (sorry, a confusingly complex event map is a limiter for me). I look forward to the next update. 

Agreed, so I skipped past most of it. However, I did notice something. Raid plugs usually seem to go on forever, and this nearly double their usual read-time. Additionally, approximately half of what was said was clearly a blatant mocking of the usual plugs. As such, while I personally found it tiresome, I also found it equally humorous, and must give the Devs kudos for it.

There are walkthroughs. Just gotta Google search for them. As for the rest, I can't really help. I'm actually looking for the lust nicknames that give unique dialog.
