We hope to deal with serious consequences while also wisecracking. It may be a tall or impossible order.
Regarding the promises, we are not able to write all the possible combinations that may result, so we made double, triple, or quadruple loyalties impossible. It may change, though.
Also, since the promise will drive the story, we need to put the choices where they currently are. We will try to elaborate on the characters and their motivations, though.
Sooooooooooo, why did dolphin dude attack me after I followed Altair into the mirror room? And why was it never brought up afterwards? Also, is there a way that I can help the Constellations and my reward be that Altair joins them? I want to help my friend, and when dolphin dude implied that one of my rewards could be for my friend to be a constellation, well that was the only reason why I accepted their offer. However, when I returned home and they did the whole “recap” as to why Iwas helping and what my reward was, they didn’t mention helping Altair as a possibility at all.
It just seemed like a few could easily be completed at the same time. Helping the fallen and helping the constellations (though that’s me assuming they’re using similar methods) and helping or hurting your friend seemed possible to me. I mean that’s like two favors from magical beings to deal with friends and finding people along the way. The helping or preventing your friend from becoming a constellation especially seemed like it’d be really easy to do in your free time.
Delphinus and the mirror room will be mentioned in later chapters. And no, the recap won’t mention it since you aren’t “directly” helping your friend by talking to him or something.
@Dark_Stalker
The narrative says that it will take up most of your time (I guess that could be made clearer) and whichever group you help will demand your full attention anyway. Right now, it’s a coding limitation, as well as an author limitation (the amount of text ).
…We’re going to have to do the multiple-goals thing, are we?
I know it does (though I assumed I could do two at least), but I’d at least like a reason why I wouldn’t be able to, not to mention that a few aren’t urgent taking up most of my time didn’t sound like a decent excuse to me.
In Chapter 3, Aries, Aquarius, Leo, Virgo, Taurus, and Libra dinner scenes are added.
In Chapter 4, you can now choose to help multiple people, thanks to…persuasion from the forum. Although there is very little additional content in Chapter 4, the code is different. Your choice of which group to help and how you will deal with the other groups will play a major role in future chapters.
So, I have neglected this thread. In my defense, which is no defense, we had no idea that we should have posted progress updates or things of that nature.
Progress Report
Currently, we’re implementing the option for the MC to be deaf or require glasses to see clearly. This requires modifying all of the game files and double-checking each scene for any mention of sound. We’re also adding personality stats, and streamlining the writing of all the chapters already on the demo.
We also wanted to clarify many things regarding the MC’s past life and psyche as well as adding options to switch gender and pronouns in the middle of a playthrough. While many of these changes are minor, they take a lot of time, and they will also remove the integrity of any save files people may have. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Much of the plot we had planned has also changed, although it is not apparent in-game as more than a few snippets of dialogue. Suffice it to say that the narrator actually has a reason to be there other than flavor.
The update should be posted sometime before Christmas. It will include finished dinner scenes, most first date/meeting scenes, and half of Chapter 5.
Any questions, suggestions, criticism, and opinions are welcome and encouraged, as always. We would also highly appreciate any feedback regarding the characters and the plot, especially regarding the MC’s actions/lack thereof, and the likeability of the characters. Feedback on any RO route would be extremely valuable, seeing as none of us have written scenes like this before. If you see anything wrong, please contact us.
Three first date scenes in Chapter 4 are finished (Altair/Pyralis, Aquarius, and Ophiuchus).
Sagittarius, Capricorn, Cancer dinner scenes in Chapter 3 finished.
Overall repair and edits.
Gender mechanic added to constellations with preferences. (All ROs are pansexual but some of them prefer one gender or another.)
Main Progress
Chapter 5 is halfway done.
Options to be deaf, wear glasses added.
Personality stats added.
Additional content in Chapter 1 flashback.
Bug fixes and grammar fixes.
Options to be neutral/have multiple loyalties added. Betrayal mechanic added.
Added options to switch pronouns/presentation at stats screen. Added clothing changes to stat screen.
More fixes to stats screen
If there’s anything you would like to see in future updates, we would love to see your opinions on this matter. Any feedback and/or bug reports are also appreciated.
Hi @zenith8! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. As I recall, the constellations don’t ask you to donate your psyche . But you will be given an option to do so, later in the game .
Hello! Since the game is very close to being updated, we have a question for you.
Do you prefer ROs asking you out or you asking them out?
I prefer ROs asking me out.
I prefer that I ask the RO out.
I prefer having both options.
I have another suggestion/opinion. (Please elaborate below)

(Please note that we are NOT removing these actions from the game. Both of these WILL be implemented. Since we cannot finish all the date scenes at this time, this will help determine which we will prioritize in already-written scenes and scenes that are yet to be written.)
The update has finally been uploaded to the link, so we’re proud to announce that the game has been updated!
Changes
Chapter 3 finished. Chapter 4 expanded. Friend, Aquarius, and Ophiuchus date scenes added. Options to be deaf or have glasses added. Additional content in some places. New options in stats screen. And more.
Also, some new art has been added to the first post, so if you’re interested in that, you can check those out!
The game will slowly be updated until the currently published chapters are finished, which should happen before summer vacation. Hopefully.
As always, any feedback, comments, criticism, and questions will be welcomed with open arms. We’d also love to know what you’d like to see in future updates, and if you find any bugs. Thank you!
The option of being deaf is surprisingly accurate. As a person who has that, I have nothing but praise for how you portrayed it for those that wants some kind of experience with it, and I’ll be keeping my eye on this WIP.
Hello! We just recently discovered that the save plug-in was not implemented correctly. We’ve fixed this, and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Thank you.
