After you chose what food you'd like, and a crowd comes by, leave Kadsey to the crowd. The actual picture isn't drawn yet but it should activate the switch and have a place holder image anyway, please let me know if that's not the right one!
I just left a lengthy comment on the original so I don't want to retread old ground, but I love your way of storytelling so much! I think locking Ashton is a great way to get you to care about the other leading boys (If you were hesitant towards them) and it just is a bonus that makes your reunion with Ashton sweeter! I really enjoyed how none of the boys necessarily WANT to romance you. Kadsey's routes were very standout to me, because even as rude as he was, how could I be upset with him when he’s grieving and being gaslighted by his entire world? (It was hard handing over the shark plush when I first saw it. But I had already pocketed the bear for my own so It was the best I could do to be even with him) I also think it’s funny that Ashino was noted as not as appealing as the others because he had no flaws, because it was seeing his horrific anime shrine room that made me fond of him. "I'm not obsessive" he says. I've seen your Kadsey shrine man. You're not better than your counterpart! I also thoroughly enjoyed seeing how John and Vincent's routes meshed together. I think the way the world building is delivered is also very fun! The fact that the game is still a demo and some things don't work/aren't implemented yet or just get buggy also made the experience that much more charming to me, lol. Overall, just another wonderful experience! I hope this has read as a clear opinion instead of as rambly as it feels. Once again, thank you for making this game and publishing it! Knowing my track record, I'm really excited to check out your other game next! Your art style, Character Writing and World building are all elements I enjoyed greatly here, so I'm excited to see more of your work! I hope you have a good day, and thanks again for sharing your work!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can honestly say that PPB is the biggest project I've ever done and I don't have the words to explain how happy it has made me that people enjoy my characters and story. Truly, you and all the players and fandom have helped me make this game as good as it is and I am so very grateful! Although it's based on the yandere VN trend, I was super worried people would think it's too "tame" but I wanted it to feel like these were real guys with "real -ish" problems that the player could help them through and grow closer to , AND with a semi wholesome happy ending. Thank you again for playing my game, your comments have really made my day!
This game is so wonderful and I've enjoyed what I've been able to unlock so far. Wondering if anyone else is struggling on this photo. I can't seem to get Kadsay's second photo on the top. I'm probably just being dumb but I can't seem to get it.
I just checked and that is the "bad end" picture (which is sadly not drawn yet), you would get that one by not giving Kadsey ANY of the stuff toys you can win, I hope that helps!
Hello, I had a little problem getting the last photo of Vincent (bottom row, second(version 2.5)). I looked at all the choices, went through with the Walktrough, but for some reason it doesn’t work, despite the fact that in version 2.3, I somehow managed to do it :_)
Thank you! If it's the second row that has 3 possible photos then that is a "cross date", the middle/second one is a cross date you would unlock by choosing to date Vincent and going to the Carnival location. BUT please let me know if it still doesn't work or if that's not the one you mean, I'm still fixing things up!
FRIEND AND I PLAYED 2.2, 2.4 VERSION IN A SEVEN HOUR LIVESTREAM. Did we have fun?? Yes. Did we cry?? Unfortunately. Are we scared for the next update?? YES....
There is so much positive feedback that I want to give but there's no way I could fit it all, or else I'd be here for eternity (Ashino ref *cries*). FIRST OFF John's and Vincent's stories... they were so wonderful, I'm so so happy for both of them! Secondly, Kadsey... DID WE CRY? YES. MOST DEFINITELY. My friend and I have been waiting since the dirty demo, and we could not be more satisfied...! We believed in him!! He is met with our utmost pride!! And that's just putting it plainly!
There's a reason I saved Ashino and Ashton for last... mg... the former devastated us but the latter reassured us so wonderfully. Ashino made us feel mad things...!!!!!!!!!! Can't even describe how he made us feel (punch punch...?)... we bullied him but we were so quickly put into the dirt. I think we deserved it ToT
ASHTON DATE... the most tears were shed (but it was 3am-). His long awaited return was worth it. So proud of him, so proud of all the boys... but ants in our pants for the finale, darn Ashino! We already endured so much pain!! >:/
BUT ANYWAY in summary... we were entertained ALL the way through. We felt suspense and had breather moments; the intensity was there. Bug-wise! While we played, the game didn't crash a single time (2.4!). However there is one thing I'd like to mention -- Ashton's still does disappear toward the end of his date! Other than that, I can't really think of any other bug! All photo placeholders function and all the dates and routes can be played through in their entirety!
So so so proud of you Espoir, I hope you had fun making this game because we had fun playing it. IT WAS A ROLLERCOASTER. Virtual hugs... we are so proud of the boys but we are proudest of you, queen!! Thank you so much!!
AAAAAH♥♥♥ Thank you so much, I'm so sorry that so much is unfinished but I really wanted to get at least the story out! I have no words, only TEARS♥3! I'm so glad you had a great time with it (and that it DIDN'T crash!)
Hello! I have been wanting to play this for a while now but i am on the macbook so im unable to play this, Do you ever plan on making a mac version? I watched the gameplay on youtube and im obsessed with ash. Great game!
Thank you so much, I'm so sorry that I didn't even THINK of that! Now that I check RPG Maker it DOES have a MacOS option! So I actually CAN try making one. I don't have a Mac device to test it on so I'm not sure how well the full game will work because I'm doing a little fancy scripting, but I can give it a try!
(I'm writing through a translator, so sorry if it's written "sloppy"), anyway, I just got through a dirty demo today and Reboot, dammit! I am so attached to Ashton that I feel like the last bastard when I see him sad! Even more saddened me by Cadsey's references to Ash in the dirty demo, please give me some hope that Ash will be ok!😭 I'm really worried about the possibility of things going down a very bad path:( Still, I love this game.. I really liked the characters! ^-^ and I love everyone very much (But Ash is still more, lol) I wish you good luck in the next updates, and I hope that each time you will get better and better!<3 (and I went to cry, sorry:"))
Thank you so much for playing! I love when people feel for and love these guys as much as I do, it warms my heart! Don't worry, everyone will be okay in the end but Ashton will need your help! I don't like SAD endings so this one will be happy!
God, you won't believe how long I've been waiting) (yes, I'm writing this review 29 days after the release, what will you do to me, I live in another country)). I did not regret (and still got scared when Ashton appeared, who,, knocks,, on the glass :_)) . Still waiting for the full game =)
what did you do to my baby boiiii noooooooo he's so differenttttttt- It feels like everyone's trying to bury what Ashton was in the last game and it's so intriguing AND THEN that jumpscare in the menu after all the dates are completed???
BRO- gosh I honestly can't wait
ps. was naming john John Doe intentional as an easter egg? If so, nice.
Hohoho! I'm So glad you liked it! I don't want to say too much and spoil it! But Ashton is technically a "virus" and the bureau doesn't want him there, but there are those who do!
Actually no, I named him John because it rhymed with Don (from the YB game). John's real name and backstory are in a short story on the page of the first PPB game I believe it's called "How Vincent met John".
But since he was a wild man living out in the forest the police called him a "John Doe" an unidentified person, so he thinks "John Doe" is his name.
But I have thought about John Doe MEETING John Doe, that would be hilarious, I may make a comic of it one day
i am ngl seeing my "old friend" scared the crap out of me. and my mouth was stuck in a ":O" for the whole duration of ashton's date because that is not what i expected. very excited for the full game still!!! keep goin, you're doing great!
