My safe files is gone. Goddamnit

I enjoyed this, I'm looking forward to the full release, my favourite bits were the intimate/emotional conversations with other characters and customising the romance options is a big plus.

I did feel a little like I didn't get many choices sometimes, once I started a scene it always progressed the same way - you always reject the character at certain points, you always kiss at certain points, you always feel the same way about it, but perhaps that would be too much writing.  Also I felt we got to know the characters a lot better in the flashback episode but I'd already made the choice of who to take, perhaps the choice could be later?

Just a few typos:

"Daniel's face gets somber for a short moment as he becomes serious and meets your eyes."

"Only rich people do stupid things like naming an island after themselves."

"I think it's cool that Micah has an island named after him."

"I know that Micah used to be your bully, but maybe these coming days are what we all need to set things straight."

And also "You carefully open the bedroom door, trying not to wake Cassidy but when you step inside, two pairs of eyes are staring at you."  Two pairs of eyes would be two people (four eyes), I briefly thought Micah was there as well.

I was confused by Taylor, I thought he said he invited me to the wedding to sabotage it so he could get out of it (maybe I read that wrong?) because he didn't have the courage to refuse his parents but then later on the boat he says he's accepted his fate and is excited for what is to come.

Thank you for the typos and, the bit about Taylor is correct. They don't want to use MC anymore and have accepted their fate, the part about being excited, I'll have to change that. Thanks.

yaay can't wait❤️

Hey, I hope this doesn't come as offensive, but there's a way to play this on mobile. You can use Joiplay and ren'py plugin, just download it on your phone, and the windows version of The Wedding. Click the '+' sign, 'Add game', find the file, then click  'gamename.exe' the rest will be up to you (naming the game, ver, and image.) I hope it helps.

Okay, Daniel is the best. Such a sweetheart! I love him to bits and I'm so worried I might be messing up, but I really hope I'm not. Also, I have to ask: Is the butler a reference to a certain person with the same (first) name and appearance? Because when I saw him, I immediately thought of said person (avoiding spoilers as much as I can, even though he's not a super big character). And the draaaamaaaaaaa, OMG. More alsos: is there a point where you can say you're not interested in women? Cause I know there was one point where you can tell a character you're not interested in men, but one for the opposite would be nice. I noticed some grammatical errors/misspellings/other oopses. Any where I could list them to be of help, if it'd be of help? Aaaaand I love this game so far and am excited for more. It's amazing. Thank you for all your hard work!

(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. The name of the butler is just because that's the name my Patreons voted for.

The game is very romance-focused so the ROs you chose will show interest. The best way to avoid this is to choose them as the gender you're attracted to.

Or 

Choose Cass as your best friend.

Block romance with Micah

Avoid the flirt options, I think I started marking them in episide 6.

For the typos and grammar, a list would be very helpful. You can post them here or send me an anon on Tumblr.

Thank you.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude or anything, I was just curious about that since when said character flirts with you, you can say you're not interested in guys. I thought it was an interesting conversation and wondered if there was one similar with anyone else.

I did have a moment with Tara (/Tariq) looking really upset after not choosing them and then them witnessing Danny leaving my apartment. Does this happen no matter what you say to them before that? Is it affected by if you choose to go talk with them over things to try to mend things with them?

Also, I'm very curious how the romance/friendship meters change. Is it just based on who you choose to take with you? For instance, I didn't notice any changes to Danny's when I was talking with him, no matter what choice I chose. Is it calculated  after the ends of the chapters or is it not really affected until after you chose them and then is affected by the flirt options that will come in later chapters?

(+1)

You're not rude at all. I write instalove, so the characters all pretty much have a crush on MC whether you're romancing them or not. That is why for some, I added the block romance just to make things easier for people who are not romancing them.

The "not into guy" is just a line I added because Lip was coming on too strong, it doesn't affect anything.

The stats are not fully implemented, so some will rise and some will don't.

Tara/Tariq will be sad no matter what. And if you choose them, it will be Danny who is sad.

Overall the story is a drama/comedy/romance and some reactions from the characters are added for dramatic effect.

(+1)

Thanks for the reply! I did realize that after playing through with Tara/Tariq chosen. I don't know why it didn't actually click until then.

Ah, okay! I was worried if I chose it someone else would take that as my character not being interested in them even if they're the one I go for. Makes sense with the stats. I look forward to seeing how they change in the final product! I was going to make myself a little guide because I can be hit or miss with my choices (Yo-Jin-Bo: The Bodyguards... OMG, I could not get Muneshige XP), but I'll be making it after the game's full release, then. ^_^

I really love the writing and the storyline. I've played through almost every different thing so far. Just need to go through each RO with Micah as an ex instead of a bully, and I'll be done with everything until the next chapter releases. ^_^ Thanks for replying again and  for all the hard work put into the game. Wish I had chosen a higher tier on Kickstarter now XD

(+1)

Thank you. You said something about typos and grammar. It would be great if you could send them over. Thanks.

Its been a while, been wondering about the game.

(+16)

MICAH? AS IN MICAH BELL???

(+2)

Just want to clear a doubt, Is there full version or version that's not demo on Patreon or it'll only come out once fully completed?

(+1)

Hi!  The game is still in development. I release episodes every month on Patreon first then they go public.

As of now, the public demo and Patreon are the same. By the end of June, there will be an update on Patreon.

(+3)

It's been awhile since a game immediately caught my attention, Daniel owns my whole heart now (like.. enough to make me make an itch account to leave a comment)

Thank you.

(+3)

I genuinely enjoy this very much, and I really like Danielle, but Taylor also intrigues me!!

(+3)

I can tell from the demo that this is my kind of game, and I'm looking forward to the full release. I love the storyline, the emotional tugs, the extensive customizations, and the story-altering choices. Came here from Kickstarter to try out the demo, and will definitely be backing the game over there. I'll be checking out your other games, too. Cheers!

(+1)

Thank you. 🥰

Hey I just wanted to inform you that the PC folder includes an .sh file which means it's also linux compatible and should be marked as such. This is a component of renpy, the windows compatible builds always include .sh files. 

(+1)

🤯 Thank you so much I had no idea. 

(+4)

Part of me wants to play through all the possibilities in the demo and part of me wants to wait until the whole thing is done, but I'll probably end up returning to the demo while I wait! 

I like the way the narrative moves around between points of view and in time. It didn't feel intrusive and gave some satisfying insights, and I got used to the characters quickly. 

My only little complaint is that I wanted the MC to be able to get in the hot tub, but none of the options seemed to allow for it. I mean, if they can jump Cass's bones, can't they also jump on their date's?

Either way, I'm glad to be in on the Kickstarter!

(+2)

MC is on the island for a good week or so, there will be time to get into the bathtub, so don't worry. 🥰

(+5)

Oh wow, i love getting to see things from other characters points of view...i feel bad making others sad by not choosing them.

(+3)

Hey, I like this a lot!

I'm always on the fence about that sort of stories, because if it leans too much into rom-com I tend not to like it, but it was pretty enjoyable so far!

I have stumbled upon something I think is an error though!:
If I decide to go with Dan for the fake dating thing, and then invite Tar to MC's room to talk about how they acted when they learned about it, then after saying pink suits them (or any other option in that choice), I get a notice that the spice scene is not written yet. But there wasn't any romantic content with them at this point on my playthrough and I never hinted towards it so there shouldn't be a spicy scene to begin with - at least not by default just by saying pink suits them (in my case). And after the scene, the romance bar goes from 0 to 25% without any true input from me about it. The only way to avoid this is to "sleep it off" instead, but considering my MC, it would make sense to want to clear things out with Tar instead. It's a bit sad not to be able to talk about it with them.

(+3)

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, this part is unfinished because it's supposed to be a sex scene, but I will make sure to add a platonic part where MC gets to talk it out.

(+1)

Thanks, that's great to know!

(+2)

I.love.it This was super well written, every character and place super well designed. 10/10 I would recommend It. I cant wait for more 

Wait a moment....are you also the writer of When Life gives you Lemons?????!!!

(+2)

Yes.

(1 edit) (+2)

That was one big and juicy update, love the different POVs and OMG, the plot twist at the end! And the cameo!

A logical hiccup I noticed. I understand that Dan definitely has some strong feelings about MC no matter what, so his hurt behavior is understandable (I went with Cass first). But the way Tariq acted on Dan's route was wild. I made sure to never pick anything even remotely flirtatious when interacting with him (limited as our interactions were), and he still acted all betrayed for not being picked as a plus one. Whether he is delusional or entitled, idk, either way, it wasn't a good look for a character.

(Btw, does only Cass have finished nsfw scenes atm?)

(+1)

I had Tar show up and apologize for that behavior, but I guess you have to choose their route. I'll make sure a text message is sent to MC as an apology if you don't decide to take Tar's route again.

Yes, as of now only Cass has NSFW scenes, next update I will add the others.

(2 edits) (+3)

It was what happens *after* the apology dialogue that puzzled me: him popping up when Dan leaves your apartment while mentioning your practicing being a fake couple - the kicked puppy look and all. Like the game assigns him as a default Dan counterpart no matter what MC does (whether you do or don't go to clear the air in the previous part, he is still there to make you feel like a dick))).

(+5)

This is so freaking good!

(+15)

Do I hate Micah? No not at all. I can respect we have a difference in lifestyle, and they slay. Am I still going to have a blast fcking with their marriage and stealing Taylor like the petty little shit I am? ...Yes. Yes I am. 

(+3)

🤣

(+6)

Can't wait for more! Good job with Micah's sprites - they definitely have a face that just "asks for a shovel", as we say in my social circle. And if the dream sequence is any indication, I'm going to have fun hating them)

(+1)

🤣 Glad you like it.

Can't wait for more 🤩

can't wait new episode....

(+1)

I just read this on dashingdon around a week ago, but then i stumbled here-- Can't wait 'till it developed more and get completed! I'm so excited that it turned out as a vn!

(+2)

that was awesome, I love all three of our (five) love interests :D very lovely and the wonderful music when MC and their friend with benefits are heating each other up at night :3

(+1)

Can't wait for more!

(+1)

Loved the demo! I find the characters really intriguing! Looking forward to this project <3

(+1)

excellent, i enjoyed this demo and looking forward to the next update on itch

(+2)

Ooooh, so excited abt were this is going!!!!

(+2)

C.C.Hill strikes again with another masterpiece in progress! You keep us wanting more and the final product will be well worth waiting.

(+5)

This is pretty good so far. The sex scene wasn't bad but was a bit short and not as detailed as the rating implies - will future ones be more detailed & explicit?
Also, will we be able to choose how dominant or submissive our MC is, and/or if we prefer to top or bottom? I'm playing as a gay male (hopefully dominant top) MC.

I noticed two errors in the game text, too.
* Cassidy says: 'Ummm, making peace with him is still a long short[...]'
- 'short' should be 'shot'.
* Daniel says: 'You could have called take a taxi, Hayden[...]'
- Either 'take' could be omitted, or it could be 'you could have taken a taxi' (not sure which you were going for).

Looking forward to see how this one progresses! :)

(+6)

Thanks for the typos report. Those are helpful.

And to answer your question about how explicit the game will be. Explicit games are my specialty, and giving the player autonomy to choose top or bottom is also my specialty. So the answer is yes to all your questions.

The first episode is not explicit because I wanted to keep things tame, but they will get spicy later. Thanks for playing.

(+2)

That's really great to hear - thanks for replying! :)

(+2)

You made Micah Bell a romance option? Arthur Morgan is happy to hear he's no longer the one being called 'pretty boy', at least. LOL. (just joking)

Oh my Goodness!!! I've been waiting for this demo for so long. I've read it on dashingdon, was absolutely interesting ^^.

(+1)

Big Business

At first i was like "who this?" Then i seen this was moved to itchio and now i'm like "ok qualityyyyy." I'm definitely about to read this tonight.

(+6)

YES!!! So excited for this demo! You are such a creative powerhouse! <3

🥰

Hey so I have played this game before and love it. But I have an issue with trying play it, I would use the link and wait for everything to load, the main screen will pop up and then a few seconds later it immediately kicks me out of google, I don't know why it does this, but if it helps I have been trying to play on a Amazon fire tablet and have no other way to play other than this excluding my ps4.

Hello, yeah I don't think it's compatible to play on Amazon fire. Sorry.

Dang that sucks😔
