Update 1.54 for All
Added 2018-03-16 22:29:17 +0000 UTCHey guys! Let's just dive on in and see what's going on with the newest update.
- Darius Day 18 - Little bit of a fun update, I think. You'll find out all sorts of things on this update.
- Still experimenting with some transition styles. Fading characters, sliding characters, etc. Any feedback on that stuff is appreciated! I did manage to fix an issue that showed the characters fading out improperly.
- Day 1 and 2 for everyone is mostly reworked with the new images. There might still be some hiccups here and there. You'll notice one of the new poses added for Darius on Day 1 though, and I added some updated stuff on Day 10 for Darius too ;)
- As well! Day 4 for Darius has our new cameo character from Zacco, so be sure to check out the work CaptainGerBear did there! You can see Azaghal got an update as well!
- More backgrounds! Gavel is pumping these out like nobody's business, so you'll see new colored backgrounds for places in the school. I even resized some backgrounds to fit the screen properly (even if they are the ugly ones I made!).
- Adjusted the character creation. CaptainGerBear set up a better color pallet for me to use, so there are a couple more color options, and the swatches of color are nicer! Please keep in mind, this is by no means the final result. We have more plans, so please be patient. On top of that, we cannot satisfy -everybody- in regards to the character creation. The more things that are added, the more complicated it gets.
- Updated the main menu! You have a real credits button again!
- MC's eyes were adjusted~
- Image Gallery Update -
This is a huge bit for me, as I spent a chunk of time working this out. For my $10+ patrons, the image gallery has been reworked. It's not 100% yet, but you'll see what I've done and get the main idea of how things will work. For this update only, the image gallery will be available to everyone, so people can see how it will work going forward. When Update 1.55 hits, it will be back to normal. There might be some weird bugs with it, so be warned! There are a lot of combos for me to test out too, and I might have missed something (I can't tell you how many time I saw Darius's head disconnected from his body). There are only a few unlockable things at this time.
IMPORTANT - I kinda forgot to include a button to exit the gallery, so if you go to the MC Body/Hair tab and click the bottom right box, it'll return you to the main menu. Clicking on any other empty boxes will move you to places you don't expect!
Random bits -
I forgot Spencer's chest blaze, and I forgot to fix it for this update. He still has it, I just forgot to add it (again!). There are still things I'm having to remember, like that and which side certain things (bracelet, piercings, Harold's tooth) appear on. So, bear with me!
My blog FAQ is outdated, so I'll try to get to that soon.
General Information -
- Guides can be found here. Keep in mind, my focus is not updating them, since my time is better spent elsewhere. They are good enough to get what you want now though!
- All merchandise is still available! You can see more of that here, while you can still order the Bear Belly Shirts here.
- Thanks so much for the continued support with typos and other errors with the Google Docs page. It helps tremendously! Don't forget, you can post image errors there too (just keep in mind, the transition we are going through).
And thank you everyone for the support and feedback! It's always so great to hear what you guys think. We've worked hard to make sure things look as amazing as always. Be sure to share the love with Gavel and CaptainGerBear too. They are both doing amazing work, so be sure to let them know how awesome they are!

2018-04-02 06:24:59 +0000 UTCEven if I became a patron, I can't download it because i am a Chinese. i means i can't enter the download website. it's a pity
2018-03-30 14:28:57 +0000 UTCTHanks so much! We are putting a lot of work into it
DyneWulf
2018-03-25 02:43:45 +0000 UTCHmm, I'll see if I can figure that one out. I'm not sure why that would happen.
DyneWulf
2018-03-25 02:43:30 +0000 UTCWow, I just cracked the game open for the first time since around update 1.42 and just wow, my mind was blown by how good it's looking right now. Keep up the amazing work, the day this is finished and in it's final state is going to be a truly amazing day :D
ArcTheWolf
2018-03-25 01:16:12 +0000 UTCYou have to keep track of your exercise. Strength and Stamina. Choices you make at the gym or working at the shelter affect one or the other, as well as going to the gym or the track when u explore the map. The goal is to have 2 points in one of the exercises and 1 point in the other. And be sure to play all 4 games, you only mentioned playing 3.
2018-03-23 01:49:08 +0000 UTCAndroid issue: you cannot submit Harold's teacher ID number on day 22 when your working in the shop. The return button does not act as a submit button

2018-03-22 20:07:13 +0000 UTCOkay I did everything right with the couch we ride the bumber cars and the roller coster and won 2 games while couch won 1 and still I didn't give him the bear

2018-03-22 09:13:54 +0000 UTCDOes the game update itself or do we have to redownload it and if so where can i find the link to the new updated version
FatPanda
2018-03-22 04:16:18 +0000 UTCAre you saying you or can't see them naked? In the new galley or legacy gallery? I also have how to exit the galley in the post up above. It's the same on all versions.
DyneWulf
2018-03-21 19:42:43 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if you're supposed to be able to view everyone naked in the gallery right when you start, but on mobile, the icon is there but does nothing. Also there's no way to exit the gallery on mobile (not a ten dollar sponsor so maybe some functionality was removed)

2018-03-19 22:04:19 +0000 UTCThank you so much! I'm also happy to hear that what I've done has helped you in some way :)
DyneWulf
2018-03-19 22:02:11 +0000 UTCI kinda like seeing the boyfriends get a little territorial. Setting up for some juicy scenes. That's what I get for growing up watching my mom's soap operas.
2018-03-19 20:58:32 +0000 UTCWhere can we submit bugs and errors for the future cause both the artwork for the old and new Maria show up simultaneously on Day 2 of Coach's Path! I can't remember if someone has already submitted this issue!
ToshiPanda
2018-03-19 18:45:51 +0000 UTCactually 1.51 update on February 1st first added the Save File naming feature. but the 1.52 update for February 16th Dyne had to remove it saying and i quote: "Updates to Renpy (and my computer) have broken some things. The Save File naming feature I was able to add has been removed due to issues I couldn't fix right yet. You'll notice your named files will retain those names, but new names cannot be added currently."
Hyou Vizer
2018-03-19 17:21:45 +0000 UTCIs this the day that Darius showers in the shelter? I saw him naked before he went into the shower; it didn't give me a choice. I don't recall if I've ever had a choice during that part of the story.
Taimaishoo
2018-03-19 14:39:47 +0000 UTCJust finished Darius' route last night and Eeeeeee! It was fun! Darius is becoming part of the team (So far)! One thing I would love to see, is that we can add a name to the saves. That way, when I play Darius' route, or Coach's route, I can add 'Darius' or 'Coach', etc, when I start a new game and all their saves will have their own tag. Easier to distinguish the different saves. <3 Keep up the great work! The new art is growing on me and like the others, Azaghal's artwork is to die for! I like his art better than his previous look. <3 And you weren't kidding about the background art. Those are flying out as fast as mosquitoes showing up in the Spring time in the South! ;)
Taimaishoo
2018-03-19 14:36:50 +0000 UTCI have always been a fan of your novels and they help me connect with myself. I was going through depression when I found your games and they helped me bounce back Thanks for your great work and I'm so happy to be a patreon helping you out in any way I can.
Damion Andrew
2018-03-19 12:36:30 +0000 UTCIs it only me or does it not give you a choice on day 12 about Darius getting naked? I thought maybe it was because my love/like was too low but i tried everything and it hasn't given me the choice. gUeSs I have to see Darius naked, that sneaky cat...
2018-03-19 06:42:27 +0000 UTCSpencer's most recent day makes me nervous. I've got a pretty good idea of the road this is starting to head down, given that he's been working so much, and that road doesn't always end well. Then again, whether it ends well is kind of up to the player, isn't it? Well, I guess we'll see what happens in the next few updates... Really great stuff so far, Dyne. As a new patron, I'm looking forward to what comes next.
Mappy The Squire
2018-03-19 05:59:40 +0000 UTCHmm, it shouldn't be doing that. I just checked it myself on Coach's path. Perhaps something went wrong with the download, and your file is incomplete. It'd say download it again and see what that does.
DyneWulf
2018-03-19 05:37:04 +0000 UTCI reset all of my routes if that helps at all
ToshiPanda
2018-03-19 05:30:26 +0000 UTCSo I ran into an error while going through the beginning of Coach's path just when you get introduced to Maria my screen went grey with "An Exception has Occurred" Switch could not find a displayable and it will not let me continue how can I fix it!
ToshiPanda
2018-03-19 05:29:47 +0000 UTCAnd as a fast Feed Back i coul'nt run it on my android(ver 5.1.1)
kuroBaraYue
2018-03-18 19:59:41 +0000 UTCOMG thanks a Lot i love Darius Route and he can be such a sweety by the way new desig of Azaghal is super Hot i wonder if there is a Poly love ending whit Darius , Spencer or Azaghal and Mc
kuroBaraYue
2018-03-18 19:56:29 +0000 UTCThere are so many outcomes with Darius. It's maddening sometimes! Hahaha, that lack of clothing is the issue I had to go back and fix real quick.
DyneWulf
2018-03-18 17:04:06 +0000 UTCI'll be sure to double-check that~
DyneWulf
2018-03-18 17:01:06 +0000 UTCThank you! We're really working hard here x3
DyneWulf
2018-03-18 17:00:45 +0000 UTCYeah, they will have side portraits again!
DyneWulf
2018-03-18 17:00:18 +0000 UTCIt has no effect on that~
DyneWulf
2018-03-18 16:59:52 +0000 UTCThanks so much! We'll have to wait and see with Bam still~
DyneWulf
2018-03-18 16:59:27 +0000 UTCLove the new day! So many choices on Darius' route overall, can't wait to see their flirting reach a peak :: wink wink nudge nudge:: I'm definitely picking up on hints of other possible route outcomes. Can't wait to see what happens. I also noticed that MC and Darius are only wearing underwear on the new day, made me think it was a dream sequence at first, being at school in only underwear. Guessing just a programming oversight, but still entertaining. Who knew the reputed slutty character would take the longest to seduce? Kudos to you, Gavel and CBG, keep up the great work!
2018-03-18 16:55:39 +0000 UTCWhen I went back to play Coach's route there was some kind of glitch on the first day where it shows both the new sprite for Maria and the old one at the same time. Sorry if im just mentioning something that has already been addressed.
Wildbear91
2018-03-18 03:29:35 +0000 UTCWow, Azaghal looks amazing ! Now I really hope he'll have a route of his own. x) The cameo character looks really great as well ! I'm honestly impressed with the amount of work you're all putting in this project in such a short amount of time, you guys are absolutely awesome ! While I still have my reservations about Spencer's new look (and that does make me a bit nervous to play the game again as I've always loved both the character and his previous design), I'm really excited to experience all of the new stuff in the near future ! (I'm currently waiting for more of said new stuff to be implemented so it's not just a "preview" of what will be the end result o/)
2018-03-18 03:08:43 +0000 UTCWow, CaptainGerBear is doing a great job with the art, love it. Also when the art has been finished/more added will the face boxes when characters are sitting, etc. come back?
KilltoD23
2018-03-17 19:59:33 +0000 UTCI have one question. Does the gallery affect the clothes you wear in the game? Like if you go into the gallery and you've unlocked a bunch of clothes/accessories etc - would you be able to dress your MC/other Characters? Or is it just like a 'dressup' gallery more or less?
Griffonheart
2018-03-17 17:32:57 +0000 UTCThe characters need more emotion poses, yes. That'll come :)
Griffonheart
2018-03-17 17:30:09 +0000 UTCFinally had a free moment to play the update, love being able to have a sneak peak at the gallery (If I get this job soon I'll happily switch to the $10 tier as you've got me as a supporter for this VN until the end :D) really loving animations on Day 1 with Darius, has me really giddy with excitement at how its all going to shape up from here. Like just imagining where the game will be 3+ months from now. I can't wait <3 Thanks again Dyne for sharing so many updates recently <3 Do you have an idea of when we'll see how Bam looks, or will we just have to wait and see? :P
Naesaki Ashwell
2018-03-17 08:58:08 +0000 UTCSomething I need to look over then!
DyneWulf
2018-03-17 07:02:30 +0000 UTCIt says 1.52, but it's 1.54. Renpy names it the same thing every time I build it, and I just forgot to rename it x3
DyneWulf
2018-03-17 07:02:11 +0000 UTCSo, I'm more entirely sure if it's just me clicking the wrong button or what, but even time I go to download the apk file for the update, it tells me it's the 1.52 update and I can't seem to fetch the right update... any ideas?
2018-03-17 06:32:24 +0000 UTCSomething I noticed while going back through Darius' route. On the day of the dinner with before getting in the shower, it's always treating it like you've seen Darius naked, even if you haven't.
Bearmagus
2018-03-17 06:27:40 +0000 UTCThere are a handful of ideas for cameo spots with the random NPCs I have ;3 You'll see more stuff about that pop up in the future! And yeah, Darius didnt send anything in return yeeeeeet, so... Don't forget Darius and the MC aren't actually in a relationship either yet!
DyneWulf
2018-03-17 05:50:48 +0000 UTCI've mentioned this plan countless times for the future ;3 It's not as easy as just putting in a single options to turn it on and off though.
DyneWulf
2018-03-17 05:46:13 +0000 UTCi find it hard to adjust to the addition of the MC sprite and it kinda ruins the immersion for me. I think you should add an optional function that hides their Sprite for some
Namine Ritsu
2018-03-17 05:15:01 +0000 UTCYou too I thought I was the only one but yea I'm having the same problem and it sucks cause I wanna play it so bad
Jo_Jo1999
2018-03-17 04:57:51 +0000 UTCDarius update spoilers below, read at your own discretion I'm very surprised you did up to Day 5 still wowzers. Day 1 new poses for Darius during tennis was a really nice touch, made it even more immersive. Mar the waiter cameo character fits so well into the game. also day 12 when Darius takes MC and Maria to that fancy club, there's a "Buff Bouncer" maybe that could be another good cameo character spot? I have two files for Darius, high Love route and low love route, so I did my low love route 1st and loved seeing MC send Darius a dick pic very hot. but i tried the high Love route thinking Darius would send MC their own dick pic but it never happened ;-; still it was super hot losing darius game bet on purpose to see each of them make out with each other, really loving this "open" relationship style even more going forward :D
Hyou Vizer
2018-03-17 04:45:49 +0000 UTCI'm having a wierd issue. I can type in the password and go to the Dropbox, but then after I click the file to go download it the screen is blank and I can't do anything. Anyone else have this issue? (I have the phone version if that helps)
France
2018-03-17 04:39:51 +0000 UTCThey certainly have some unique interactions. Haha, I'm glad it was brought to my attention so quickly with that little issue.

Chema
2018-03-17 02:12:03 +0000 UTCI'm really interested in the Spencer and Darius dynamics in his path, and really enjoyed the outcome of that bet =) Keep up the delightful work Dyne! Also I had to play through it since I got the prefix patch and got to see the guys going to class shirtless and pantsless, lol!
Gaffgarion
2018-03-17 02:08:29 +0000 UTCA bit better but things still feel a bit stiff
2018-03-17 01:39:43 +0000 UTCAhhhhhh, I LOVE IT!!! Also, CGB's art of Darius with the mane, is hot too.
2018-03-17 00:27:50 +0000 UTCI didn't rename the file, but it'll be all good!
DyneWulf
2018-03-17 00:22:11 +0000 UTCHey dyne real quick I noticed while trying to download the game for android it says its 1.52 for the new update is that like a typo or something?
Jo_Jo1999
2018-03-16 23:28:08 +0000 UTCHaha, they bother look Great! And don't forget, the gallery is only temporary, so everyone can see how the new one will work.
DyneWulf
2018-03-16 23:06:43 +0000 UTCYou don't haaaaaave to restart, but if you wanna see the stuff added in older days...
DyneWulf
2018-03-16 23:06:00 +0000 UTCThanks a bunch:)
DyneWulf
2018-03-16 23:05:17 +0000 UTCAzaghal is looking fantastic and loving the advances on character creation <3 keep up the great work guys <3 <3
Naesaki Ashwell
2018-03-16 23:02:38 +0000 UTCholy crap Azaghal looks incredible, I'm completely in shock @___@ yay us $3 tier users can use the gallery feature woo hoo, thanks Dyne :3 that cameo character looks so handsome ^ ^
Hyou Vizer
2018-03-16 22:36:48 +0000 UTCOMG. You are doing so much good work :D I guess I should 'restart' Darius' route again, haha. But it's something I don't mind doing - I can always fast-forward through the old parts of the game to catch up.
Griffonheart
2018-03-16 22:32:10 +0000 UTCDyne I love you so much β€οΈ thank you for your hard work I seriously appreciate everything you do with the game no matter what I'll support you 100% again thank you for everything you have done so far ππ
