I was worried about Cri when she wasn't feeling good at the end..
I don't know why, but I kind of thought there would be a futa .
I really like this visual novel and its focus on the story, since others only focus on something else. My favorite characters are Aurora and Miranda.
Although I’m not sure if it’s going to happen, I would like to see more development in the story of these two characters, in addition to a transformation like Cristina’s.
I think this visual novel has potential, even with the use of AI, since its story seems very interesting to me.
Hey dood! Thank you so much for your review! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
I'm really happy you're enjoying the story so far! (๑˘︶˘๑)
Worry not tho, the game is in a very early state and i let the story's flow drifting more on Cristina's side (especially because was a "fan" favourite for a lot of people), but every girl will have their time to shine in relation on what route you are going to pick! ´･ᴗ･`
Spoilers Ahead. Well I'm a little annoyed since now I'm stuck waiting. Which wouldn't have been an issue if I wasn't enjoying it as much as I did. Considering that it's v0.4 I was surprised by how much content there was. Usually projects like this are much shorter and feel more bare bones. So far I'm enjoying the cast especially Cristina. She's really adorable despite her muscles. Thought I do wish we got to see the growth itself and not just the end result. Besides that theirs grammar and sentence issues. Though nothing too bad that I couldn't understand what was happening. Also a little confused by the injury route since it heals quick and forgotten about almost instantly. Not sure if this has plot reasons or not. Also I am a little worried about the number of characters theirs going to be. Mainly because I worry that it will end being too ambitions and then the game will be dropped due to lack of motivation or something. I've seen it too many times before where a game like this is left to die because of someone biting off more than they can chew. Despite my concerns I do look forward to future updates.
Hello dood!
First and foremost, thank you so much for your feedback! I'm really happy that you're enjoying the story so far! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
About the injury you mentioned, yes, it will be a little bit of relevancy in the future! ｡^‿^｡
For the game i can garantee you that i will not drop the project! Updates are (and will be) reeeeally slow because, like I said, i'm the only one working on this visual novel, i'm making it for free and unfortunately my job takes me away a lot of time. So it's more about having less time to do things instead of lack of motivation. So yeah, mark my words about not worrying about me dropping the project! (´◡`)
Thanks again for stopping by and leaving a comment! Really appreciate it! (°◡°♡)
Can you please make it playable in browser?
Sure! ;) Next update!
This is peak dude
Really? Glad to hear it (ٛ⁎꒪̕ॢ ˙̫ ꒪ٛ̕ॢ⁎) Thanks! ❤⃛
Cool game! ^-^
Thank you, dood! ٩(＾◡＾)۶
only criticism I have is there a bit to much talking between new scenes and sometime get little boring like take much time taking amount unnecessary stuff in my opinion and maby add more expressions and still pics showing what’s happening that moment art other then that like where it’s going
Hey dood! (*ΦωΦ*)
I'm sorry about finding some aspects of the story boring to your tastes.
Being a visual novel focused on slice of life, i'm trying to focus more on the narrative, relationships and worldbuilding, just to not jump in directly to the hot stuff and making the flow of the narrative more natural.
Despite that i get what are you saying and i'll try to go more straight forward and drain some narrative. ＾▽＾
"Images generated with NovelAI"
Really? But I don't see any blemishes anywhere.
This has to have been done by hand.
Hey there! ⊂◉‿◉つ
I'm really glad you think it that way, but i can assure you I use NovelAi3
That program really made big steps in terms of work done, and i also went trought a process of trial and error in order to get right most of the sprites (with the exeption of some of the backgrounds, unfortunately.)
Hope you are enjoying the game! ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
The update is really great.
But the thing i'm most looking forward to is more female muscle growth
Heloooo! ๑(◕‿◕)๑
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Don't worry, we'll get there! ╰(▔∀▔)╯
nice update, just miranda route which is best girl in my opinion is a little short in current state. i really hope more for future updates. some fmg will be nice too.
oh and about the arabic dialogues, the letter are typed in reverse. as a native of country which its language uses the same alphabet as arab speakers, i know it is a common problem with words. because most word editors don't recognize a right to left format and when you copy paste it, they will reverse the letters automatically,
the solution is simple. when you use google translate, at bottom of caption, there is always a pronunciation with english alphabet. just copy paste that, to be hones, using english letters for writing our languages are more common than you may thing.
keep up the good work. i am impatiently waiting for next update.
Hey there, pal! ╰(▔∀▔)╯
Ooooh, we have a Miranda enjoyer here (¬‿¬) ♡
As I said previously to some others here, I'm planning on making the Miranda's route playing completely differently, so i decided to take my time on doing her route, making an update from time to time! (•‿•)
About the arabic dialogues, thank you so much for the trivia, info and advise! (＾▽＾) Noted and planned on doing it in the next update! ♡
Thank you so much! (๑˘︶˘๑)
Heyooo! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Glad you're appreciating the game! ;)
I'm gonna start to work on the next update next year, unfortunately i still haven't planned a possible release date.
Hope to give you all an update when i'm at least halfway through!
(•‿•)
The update was really great! i enjoyed it a lot, really liking the backstory lore and would definitely like to see more. The cristina muscle growth is awesome! also is there an estimate of how many muscle growth for each character will get?
Hey there! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
So happy to her about you enjoying the game so far! ♡
Right now i'm planning for one each, but I'm willingly to go for another one! ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
So glad you didnt abandon the project! Im looking forward to playing 4.0 later!
٩(＾◡＾)۶ Don't worry, i won't! Hope you enjoy!
Please add android :)
Sure! Next update ;)
Nice game, I enjoyed playing it thoroughly. You have inspired to me to want to make my own game, however, I have no prior experience programming. How long did this take you can is there anywhere I can contact you to ask more questions? Thank you
As a someone who got inspired to do this game because someone else, i'm really glad reading your words. ꒰ღ˘‿˘ற꒱❤⃛
You can write me directly by private message on my DeviantArt page:

Just keep in mind that unfortunately I can't be always available, so i'll answer you anytime i can, ok? :3
Great game, what program did you use to make the characters?
Thanks for the feedback! =＾● ⋏ ●＾=
I use Novel AI3! :D
That's hard to believe, because I don't see anything that looks out of place, not even so much as a sixth finger on any hands.
Can somebody help me open the game i downloaded and extracted the zip file but idk how to start
Which version?
windows hp laptop
Once extracted the folder in the zip file just run the App!
Hey, I want to ask, could you possibly make an Android version of this game?
Working on it in the next update ;)
I'll be waiting for it, also take care of yourself.👍
( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡
Great game so far :)
Do you have an ETA for the next update ?
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you are liking the game! ღවꇳවღ
I was going to plan a release for the v0.3.5 but unfortunately i have to cancel that and going directly for v0.4 (｡･･｡)
So, if my calculations are right, i'm going to release the next update between the 15th and 31st of September. (━┳━ _ ━┳━)
Really sorry about the delay but unfortunately i have some important issues to take care of during the next days.
Wow thank you for your work. I really love your writing. And great artwork. Every girl has their own unique style. Cant wait for the next update.
May I ask to give some translation for the italian in a future update?
Hey there dood! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! -(๑☆‿ ☆#)ᕗ
The answer is yes!
After all the request about the language topic i'm going to put a translation.
I can understand that, even if the MC understands Italian, the player could not, so don't worry! ! will put every translation (including other languages spoke by other characters) everytime someone speak in her native language! ;)
I really like you work, and the designs of the characters are lovely. i am already hyped for the next update. btw are you planing on making the girls grow bigger? Not that they arent already big, but bigger is better ;)
Hello there!
Thank you so much for the feedback! ٩(＾◡＾)۶♥
The answer is: yes! ;)
Quite engaging, looking forward for more choice development.
Would love to see more characters/classmates even if they're not the focus. Also given that ppl seem to understand Christine, a translation (maybe from MC's prospective?) in brackets could better help understand her mood though I get if you don't feel like doing it.
Really appreciate seeing choices impact dialogue beyond the immediate scene.
╰(▔∀▔)╯ Thank you so much for your feedback, really appreciated!
About the classmates i was planning to make some appearances here and there, especially easter eggs! ;)
My initial toughts about Cristina's use of her native language was more for making the situations more comedic or serious, and i wasn't planning to use too much complicated expressions in order to not give the player some sort of confusion. I'm sorry if that didn't deliver very well, so i'm considering about making a poll in the future about that, just to have a general a feedback. :D
When are you dropping the android version?
Good question, i'm still figuring out (つ﹏<。)
Hope to have everything ready when the 0.3.5 will drop!
For some reason it won't install on Linux which kinda sucks
Oh really? Is the Linux package not working?
it works now for some reason lol
Nice! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Back from the dead huh?
✌(◕‿-)✌ Yup!
I love it when developers keep their promises, thanks for the update! Will our ladies grow in the future?
⊂((・▽・))⊃ Happy about the appreciation!
Absolutely yes! ;)
Ty for your work! I'll check out an update as soon as possible!
You're welcome! :D
Went through almost all update and it's awesome! Wanted to ask some questions.
1) By now clearly visible 3 girls as partners, but could we get something with teacher for example?
2) Also are you planning to make growth or bulk up for girls? I personally don't like when it's overdone, but a little bit of growth sounds great
3) And lastly, any thoughts about 3.5 release date?
Thank you so much, man! :D ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
1) Let's just say it's a secret, for now~ ;)
2) Don't worry, they will, It was my intention from the beginning on doing so! The grows are planned in relation on the choices the player makes, in order to make a significant impact on the story.
3) Unfortunately not, i'm kinda stuck in a loop with my job right now. I'll throw a post here and DA once i'm sure i can point out a release date! :)
Please say that's not the last update...
Don't worry, it's not. ;)
As I said, it's a totally free passion project but unfortunately between my job schedules and my life chores is kinda hard for me to stay consistant with the updates. But worry not, i'm not giving up and drop the project, so the only thing i'm kindly ask for whose are still interested is to be patient. (シ_ _ )シ Thank you ♥
Glad to hear it! Any ideas about update release date? Story and characters looks great, especially teachers part
Still in a bit of rough moment, but i guess that, if my calculations are correct, i can try to go for the 0.3 by the middle of July!
woohoo
Please add android version
Sure thing! :)
If this is going to be an fmg novel I think it would be good to show the stages of growth and ripping out of cloths would be nice as well but so far I do like it
Don't worry, will happen in the future ;)
Thank you for the feedback! :)
Hell I can't even get it to run in win 11. And i've usualy been able to get ren'py based stff to run before?
I'm sorry about that, kinda strange indeed actually.
I will investigate on this problem and hope it will be solved on the next update! :)
Yea, from what I have noticed, some Ren'py runs ok in win 11 and some don't so it might not be your fault. Altho if you have access to a win 11 machine it might be a good idea to test it there
Sure thing, man! I'll give it a try! :)
Dude it doesnt work on linux:( this game looks so cool but i cant even play it.
I'm so sorry about that! :(
I'll make sure to insert a linux download in the v0.3 update! :)
W dev tbh
My man, could you consider an android port as well? This game looks hella interesting and I'd defo play it if there was one ;)
Sure thing! :) I'll sign it up!
Looks intriguing
Thanks! :D Hope you'll enjoy future updates too!
Love it
Thank you! :)
