I really loved this story and of course the art style too! Can I ask where you took inspiration for it - have you done other illustrations like this before?
thank you! i don't usually draw much, but i was going for a flatter hourou musuko look and was inspired by an event that occured in japan this january.
I think it's a very unique style - usually you only see drawings like this in icon work and product illustrations, so I'd love to see more of it in visual novels. And thanks for letting me know about Hourou Musako, seems like an interesting story I should check out!
Congratulations on the success of ONHS! It's nice to see other peoples' visual novels about trans women too, especially visual novels that are topping the charts here on Itch! I wish you the best of luck, and I can't wait to finish your game! ^_^
I absolutely loved this game! only got one ending so far, but it's really amazing! Haru is basically me, so I really felt a connection with the characters!
This game really deals with the nuances of the trans experience in a great way, and has a super cute art style to boot. I almost died when the phone beeped heh. <3 Awesome work.
when you go to ~/Library/RenPy/ on your computer, do you see a folder for this game, and if you do, can you tell me whether there is save data inside? there should be a persistent save file that includes the save data for what endings you have seen.
hmm, unfortunately I'm not sure why. do the two files in the 'persistent' folder look as if they have been created around the same time that you played this game?
one suggestion I can make is to have a folder called "Ren'Py Data" in the root folder where the unzipped game folder is, and renpy should automatically save the save files there, but that won't bring back the saves you've lost.
i don't know sink's adventure, but i looked it up and the art looks really lovely!
i would definitely love to have help with music/sound effects in the future since it's not something i have much experience with. if the chance comes up, how should i contact you?
this is such a kind offer, but somebody has already offered to translate to korean! I really do appreciate it though, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game <3
I managed to get all the endings! I did like that the endings required some effort and thought to get decision making-wise. It's really good that every choice does seem to matter in some small way, or at least feels that it does. Personal favorite ending was Erika 2. I want to hug her. I streamed the game and all its endings with some silly commentary. Keep up the great work as always. :D
(Definitely play the game yourself first though before watching this though!)
this game is so cute, thank you for making it! i really liked it. id love to hear how to get to the good end? i managed to get all the other ones but the good end ^^
This is super good; I'll check the other endings later but I got Erika End 2 and had a nice experience, speaking as a trans woman. I appreciate how natural the conversations between characters felt and how they discussed issues involving trans folk (in Japan, in particular. I think it was important to share that perspective and clarify the differences elsewhere in the world... even if things aren't exactly the best for us anywhere ;;). Thank you for creating this.

This was a very sweet game. Thanks for making it.

Very cute! I got Normal and Erika 2 so far. I'll seek out other endings but don't know if I'll have the heart to go for the bad end...
if it helps, i promise the bad end isn't that bad and nothing terrible happens!
i actually can't figure out how to get the bad end? I got all the other endings except bad end. Also Erika 2 is my fav
try to choose choices which make haru try to fit in/feel uncomfortable with herself to not bother other people
Erika 2 is also my fav :)
Super cute! Loved the art style and the writing, real quality for a jam entry :)

This game is soooo cute! :D
And I like how it portrays a trans woman in a happy situation, while still addressing the struggles and worries that might come from being trans.
Such a pleasant atmosphere too, this is the perfect game to play when I feel stressed out. Thanks for sharing this, I really liked this game! <3
I played it last night and got four different endings; when I relaunched it today, my gallery progress was gone!
Any idea how to prevent this from happening?
hmm the game should save after you unlock a new ending. would you mind telling me what platform you're playing on?
Mac OS X High Sierra, latest update.
when you go to ~/Library/RenPy/ on your computer, do you see a folder for this game, and if you do, can you tell me whether there is save data inside? there should be a persistent save file that includes the save data for what endings you have seen.
Not from this game, as far as I can tell. I have two files in the "persistent" folder, and no folder or file named after this game.

I love the art style
Are you inspired by Sinks Adventure?
Also if you ever need music or sound effects in the future I would love to help out
i don't know sink's adventure, but i looked it up and the art looks really lovely!
i would definitely love to have help with music/sound effects in the future since it's not something i have much experience with. if the chance comes up, how should i contact you?
if you have Discord mine is: jimmy#1291
or email me at: jamesmaslaki@gmail.com
thank you! i might not work on a new project for a while but i'd love to take you up on the offer if i have the chance.
my pleasure :)
portfolio if you're interested
i've actually heard your stuff on twitter before which is why i'd really love the chance!
I really enjoyed the story and game play.
If you plan to support more languages, please feel free to let me know. I can do English=>Korean translation. (madii9516@gmail.com)
this is such a kind offer, but somebody has already offered to translate to korean! I really do appreciate it though, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game <3
Wow, great! I'm looking forward to play the Korean version! Gook luck!
This was so sweet! I'll have to try and get the other endings later on. (^-^)

thank you for such a cute & lovely video! your support is always so kind.
this game is so cute, thank you for making it! i really liked it. id love to hear how to get to the good end? i managed to get all the other ones but the good end ^^
hint: for the good end don't spend as much time with erika or manami!

I haven't even played this yet and I'm already excited as heck!
