Do you mean having the numbers change color in the gallery depending on which page you're on? I can probably add that to my to-do list!

I'll put that on my to-do list!

I wouldn't go as far as calling people transphobic. Folks are allowed to have preferences.

I'm more bothered by the fact that someone made up an entire alternate universe in their head and then posted 6 paragraphs onto the front page of an FVN to warn people about it . If he was wondering if these topics would pop up in the story, he could've just asked lol

Heyo, glad you enjoyed the story so far! Just wanted to correct a few misunderstandings and assumptions.

1) The "female Sidd" that you saw is art of Sidd's birth mother, not an alt version of Sidd. She appears in a brief flashback in Chapter 3 during the brawling tournament. She was explicitly referred to as "Mels the Beast," an entirely separate person from Sidd.

2) I draw a lot of non-canon art of the characters outside of the VN for fun. Unless it's actually added to the story, don't consider it canon.

3) Chapter 2 onward, all NSFW scenes have been confined to the mini-episode sections of Temptation's Ballad and are completely skippable for folks who aren't interested in the lewd scenes or any specific kinks.

4) Sidd has never had a scene that involved pronoun confusion or him questioning his gender. He's only had scenes questioning his sexuality. Where did you see this? 

I understand some kinks I explore outside the VN may not be people's cup of tea, but I don't see how I've made any indication that I would derail the entirety of the story to fit some fun art that I drew on the side. Proclaiming to everyone that some "experience-ruining content change" will hit Temptation's Ballad based completely off of your own assumptions just feels... bad. 

Hello! Thanks for the bug report. Can you let me know which build you're playing on? (Android, PC, etc)

I'm glad some folks appreciate all the file size compression I did for this VN lmao. Thank you for the kind words!

Yeaaah there's been an influx of comments with spam links lately. Been trying to purge them as often as I can but they just keep coming qwq

Can you link us to those reddit posts?

Whenever I'm not working on my VNs, I'm challenging my work-life balance in mortal combat ;w;

The packaging is pretty discreet! If you're grabbing an art print, it'll arrive in a large brown envelope and if you're only ordering stickers, it'll arrive in a small black bubble-wrap envelop. 

I like all three of the Repeat boys fairly equally, but I've got a soft spot for Sissel.

Yeaaah my Etsy shop got suspended today, they've been very difficult to work with lately. Currently filing an appeal. If you're from the USA and still want to grab art prints/merch for my VNs, I recommend my shopify store at shirokoi.art instead. Sorry for any inconvenience! qwq/

Thanks for the heads up. That poster has been banned and his links removed.

Thanks for the report! The bug where the sprite animations get interrupted has been fixed in the Patreon build and will be released soon! qwq/

I second this, and also would like to know how your small team plans to translate so many visual novels when you insist you don't use AI.

Do you have a website/official social account I can check out? I'd like to do some research before I made a decision.

Yeaaaah I should have been more diligent. I was only aware of this guy's AI translation slop after a few people reached out to me on Discord this morning qwq

I've had some other translators reach out to me (specifically a Chinese team) and they've been wonderfully transparent and active with their translation efforts and feedback emails. They've spoiled me with how good their work has been ;;w;;

Nevermind, I might have to rescind my permissions. I've looked a little more into your group. Is it true that you use AI for your translations? If so, please never touch my work. I am staunchly against anyone feeding my work into ChatGBT for cheap translations, especially if you're charging money in any form. 

Oof I wish I had time for an April Fools joke. I've been crunching on this update for weeks qwq

You mean the screenshot on the itch.io page? No, that's an old screenshot that shows Grank's original sprites before they were reworked. He's much buffer now lol

This is incredible work, definitely buying a copy and will play around with the tools when time allows. You're paving the way for advancing future indie VNs and I'm excited to see what you have in store for future developments!

Thanks for the report! It's an issue that happens when skipping through dialogue quickly that cancels out animations mid-transition. I haven't quite found a solution for it yet qwq

Could you let me know where in the story this happened? A screenshot with dialogue will be enough. Also let me know if you used the skip/ CLTR button at any point! I'll try and figure out a work-around in the meantime ;w;/

Sidd's just slowly pulling everybody by being a sweet and good boy uwu

I'm currently in the process of refining all character sprites in the game. So far in the public build, Artemi, Wes and Grank have been hit with the HD ray. Expect more character art to get refined as updates roll out!

The new sprites uses the exact same color palette as the old one, just with shading.

Oh heck, thanks for letting me know. I’ll make sure to fix it in the next update QWQ

My brain is oozing out of my eyes and nose right now ;;;w;;

I'm currently releasing updates bit by bit, optimistically aiming for once every 1.5 months or so, though smaller updates may come out faster. 

Thank you for the kind words! I'm planning around 12 to 15 chapters for the entirety of TB's story, but that's kinda subject to change as the project progresses.

I’ve just tested the build on my end and it seems to be working fine. If your game fails to update, I recommend uninstalling the game from your phone before trying again.

Sidd and Cole haven’t trained or delved too deep into their Fighter/Bard classes, so they haven’t committed to a subclass yet. This will change as the story progresses.

I mean, so far in the 150,000 word script there are a total of 3 sex scenes, all of which are skippable and I even made the effort the add character moments in those scenes. 

I understand that not everyone is comfortable with sex in their media, but not all media is made for everyone and that’s okay.

Thanks for the info. I might have missed a bug then. Could you send me a screenshot of when you see Phillip’s dialogue going wack when you get the chance? No rush, but it’d be super helpful for me to find the issue. Thanks!

Ah sorry, this is a known bug that has been fixed in the next build on Patreon qwq

Thanks for the info! Could you let me know if you downloaded your Repeat file before or after August 4th? I believe I reuploaded the build with a fix for this issue already but I’ll check if it’s not working properly.

There’s currently a problem with Rnepy where skipping through scenes causes some sprite animations to stop mid-transition qwq

Thanks for the report! Adding this to my to-do list.

Aaw, thanks! I hope you enjoy the journey! As for a Sidd/Clyde scene, I can probably add something like that with the new Mini-Episode system similar to what Wes got in this update. It's a good way for me to add some spicy scenes and character moments without pulling too much time away from the main plot.

This feature has been added in the latest update!
