We changed Julia's backstory. And Alyssa's students too.
🕑 Added 2022-07-26 14:27:25 +0000 UTCThe team and I changed the backstory of Julia in Episodes 1 and 2 because it'll make it easier for Steam to accept our game in the future.
These changes won't affect Episodes 3, 4 and 5.
- Julia no longer goes to school. She goes to work.
- MC doesn't think she is too young for him. He knows right away in episode 1 that she is 19 years old.
- She is on the wait list to enter college in Episode 1-3. In Episode 4 she enters the college.
- We deleted all words that make Julia sound cute, small and young: kid, cute, little, small, young, girl, little sister, school, schoolgirl
- Instead, we added words that make her sound like an adult: woman, pretty, beautiful, university, work, job, university girl, independent
- Julia's bedroom had a change of colors (last screenshot)
You can also see from the screenshot that Alyssa's students are now adults. Her place is no longer a "Dance School", it's a "Dance Studio".
It was a hard decision for me, but I believe it'll pay off in the future.

Agreed. I think it's an overall plus for the VN.

It is better of course for Julia to enter college rather high school. She is my fav so far ;-) I just wish her to be a virgin girl (despite being a bit naughty) and having her fooling around with other guys later in the game... As the other girls... your animations are amazing : congratulations ! Good luck !

Wasn't trying to complain, just was surprised

Nice changes. Still doesn't change my opinion about Julia though. Now the older guys are going to be drooling over Alyssa.

Whatever helps you guys succeed. Never even thought about this stuff being a factor. Must be stressful. Lmao

We can add "cute" as a way to call Lily and Susan and any other MILF. Is that ok for you?

So you can't use cute? In my 30s and I call my s/o in her 30's cute all the time. Wild.

From my perspective, this is much better. At least for me personally, the idea of anyone being underage, even if ambiguous, is just icky.

Those changes for sure must have caused you and your team a ton of extra work, but I agree - it will make things much easier on Steam. Good job in preemptively taking action on these items!
