That's a rather specific question with a rather fun answer: Jun is a bit of a scatterbrain (as we all know) and forgot her bag and/or some of its contents at home on multiple occasions. Eventually, Touka decided that it would be best for Jun to just store her things at school.
The vampires aren't inspired by any folklore/mythology I know about, no. With them, I took the most liberties and made them into what they are now, simply based on what I felt worked best for the story
Thanks for summing things up. Your explanation covers the major points well. :)
As for your actual, real complaint.. I did think about that when making the release schedule and decided to try things the current way first, but I do agree that it is a bit unfortunate for the public release to land on a Tuesday - something I've generally tried to avoid for any release so far. Thinking about it now, I don't really see much reason to not go for 28 days anymore, so I'll change it to be released on the 12th. It just makes more sense that way. :)
I did pretty much abandon animations for the game, yes. Animation work is not something I enjoy, and I feel like the time it takes for me to make a decent animation is better spent on making actual content. Since the game's focus isn't on the porn side of things, I feel like it isn't too big of a loss anyway. There will be the occasional animation here and there, if the situation calls for it, but don't expect them in every h-scene going forward.
That being said, I'm glad the other aspects of the game were able to make up for the animations and you enjoyed your time with it. Thanks for playing :)
Kind of? But not really. There's always some variance in update length, and there have been a bunch of comparatively long updates last year, which now make the most recent ones look shorter in comparison. Important to note, though, is that the long updates took longer to finish, too, whereas time between updates is now going down again. I did also move recently, which took away from both v0.46 and v0.47 in terms of time I was able to spend on making them.
Hi there! Currently, there is no Russian translation planned while the game is still in development. Once the game is fully completed, however, I may look into getting it fully translated into a few languages, Russian among them :)
Heh, people would probably start rioting if I kept the cliffhangers in there. It's actually rare that people like them, so I'm glad to hear that you do. Most people just can't stand waiting :D
Thank you for your kind comment. I really appreciate it :)
Hey there, sorry for the late reply! I moved into a new apartment recently, so time was a scarce resource, and I honestly forgot about checking the comments here. :)
Thank you for your really kind feedback, though! It was lovely to read and even made me chuckle - usually people skip the talk to get to the sex scenes faster, and not the other way around. I love it :D
Yeah, let's hope they eventually do. For now, I'm looking into setting something else up. If all goes well, I should have it up and running within the next few days
Thanks for your messages, mate. I appreciate you trying to do damage control on here.
It does look like early access on Itch isn't too feasible, yes. I may substitute this with Ko-Fi or something like that, but for now, I'll keep it Patreon-only.
Who knows. Maybe by next update, I'll have changed my mind and will actually do the new update pages every time. I need to do some research into that before I decide anything, though, since it heavily depends on how it works under the hood, and whether I need to do all the tax business again for each page. I doubt it, because it'd still be under the main account, but with Itch, logic doesn't seem to always apply. Their individually priced files feature is kind of misleading, and they've dropped the ball with the whole Collective Shout nonsense as well, so I wouldn't put it past them to make new project pages incredibly hard to put up, too.
Anyway. I won't abandon Itch completely. Worst case, I'll just release the public/free version on here every time, and keep the project open at all times, with zero paywalls and an added Ko-Fi link or whatever. Because even putting it on "0$ or donate" hides the game in the search feature, which severely limits exposure to new people.
There is no price tag. This was just a countermeasure on my end to prevent some stuff from happening, but it's gone now, and the new update will be freely available in 11 days, as usual
No. Itch just sucks ass and the paywall was a stop-gap measure until I had figured out what to do. The game is and will always be free to play (the early access period after new updates excluded)
Oh damn, thanks a lot, mate! That's an amazing review. :)
I'll be the first one to admit that CH's early parts are a bit rough, but so far I prioritize new content over fixing early parts. Not sure that that's the best decision for the game's reach, since a bunch of potential players might get deterred by said early parts, but reworks tend to take a lot of time - time that can't be spent on new content, thus risking the current player base's satisfaction for the potential gain of new players. Maybe I'll cave eventually and offset one update to rework the early game, but for now, I don't have any plans in that direction.
Either way, thanks for your comment and for playing CH!
There are ways to export saves both on Android as well as PC/Linux/Mac. The methods differ, but it's possible. However, generally it also isn't required since the saves get carried over to new versions as long as they are on the same device - something you seemingly already discovered. :)
Heh, yeah. The update is now publicly available. :)
Regarding your question: It's really hard to say and ultimately depends on whether I decide to make a sequel or end CH. If it's the former, the game could be done in a year or so. Otherwise, it's probably going to be another couple years at the least. Or, in other terms, there will be at least one more chapter, and at most.. well, the sky's the limit, I guess. Technically, I have enough ideas and story in my back pocket to fill another 6-7 chapters, at the very least.
Heh, luckily you didn't make that bet, then. Though, to be fair, a lot of people speculated for her to be someone from Kuro's clan. I think the most prevalent guess was for her to be Maeve.
I don't think Lilith has ever really been described before, yeah. At least, I don't recall an instance of that, either. :P
Whaaaaat, MC essentially jinxing things by thinking that? Preposterous! That would never happen! 👀
I'd say wait for v0.45.0, cause that's kinda sorta the 2nd part of the same trip and it'd make more sense to cut at the end of the trip instead of the middle of it
