I'm so sad that riley is super underrated I hope you guys add more scenes for him when it releases do are you guys still working on this project and if so will riley have more scenes?
Riley is actually one of the most popular guys in the game 🙂 He will absolutely have more scenes - he's a romanceable character.
The next update I release won't feature him since it follows different characters at a different location than where Riley is. But in the story updates after that one, you'll have more scenes with Riley and can potentially take things further than a kiss depending on your choices during the frat party.
"You guys" in this case is just one person, but I'm definitely still working on the game and am close to getting another release done 🙂
Here's a cheeky pic of Riley from a Patreon gallery I did last month to hold us over until he's in the game again. He got brave enough to go to an adults-only costume party at a club and made a few new friends...
Sure! It's slightly tricky to get since it has some specific unlock conditions. Here are the required steps:
- In the afternoon after Will's class, hang out with Riley.
- Towards the end of that hangout, you'll have the opportunity to sexually proposition him. Do it and assure him you're serious.
- Once you do, Riley will bashfully thank you for the compliment. The game will ask if you want to keep trying to proposition him. Do it. (There are other spots to proposition Riley later on, but doing it here is the easiest.)
- At the end of the hangout, choose to go to the frat party.
- When you're given the opportunity to shower before the party, do it.
- When you arrive at the party, spend all of your time with Riley. You can still greet other people at the beginning, just return to him afterward.
- After Victoria arrives and has her confrontation with Riley, defend him.
- After the monologue sequence, choose to hang out with Riley one on one rather than meet some of the actors.
Then just play through and the kissing scene should unlock. It's one of my favorite CGs in the game 🙂
Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! To unlock that CG, go to Matt's place in the evening to hang with him & Leo. Midway through when you're asked to take your shirt off, go back to your dorm instead and that CG will unlock.
Thanks so much! Can you spoiler us who the 9 romanceable characters are? I read in the other comments, Griffith and Riley for sure. Marco, Leo, Evan, and Asher are polite valid guesses I suppose. Who else? :)
The game's focus is college-aged twinks, twunks, and hunks. There will be a couple daddy characters, but I don't think they're what you're picturing when you say daddy bears or muscle bears.
No specific date yet, but earliest would be end of July for the public release. Once it goes into early access on Patreon I'll share a release schedule with specific dates.
I would love to at some point, but it won't be for a while. At this point in development I don't really have the means to do a port since I'm working solo. But I do know a lot of people want it on Android, so it's on my list of things to get figured out.
Hey Freshman VN can I actually hook up with Julian, Owen , Matt, or the professors?--I know so far their is this interrupted scene with Alex(maybe it's upcoming with the club update) ? But so far the character models and the background is amazing and I love how you give each character their own personality.
Thank you! Yes, in the current version of the game you can hook up with Julian and have a hookup-adjacent encounter with Owen shortly after. The teachers will have hookups in a future update.
To get to the scene with Julian & Owen, head to the frat party on your second evening at school and make sure you interact with Julian at some point. At the end of the party, he'll ask you to help him get upstairs and the story will proceed from there.
Oh okay thank you so much greatly appreciate it--I did edit my question sorry to bother but is there any possible way to hook up with Matt because I only end up" hooking up" with Leo at the end.
Not yet, it'll take a little longer to hook up with Matt due to his hangups. I'll still have some sexual content for him until then, though, including 8 CGs coming in the next update. And re: Alex, yeah, you'll be able to hook up with him at the club 🙂
thank you and I've been playing this game a lot haha and I really do have a few personal favorite characters being Owen and Marco because I like their personality alot besides them being attractive--I seriously can't wait for the next update as I know it's going to be awesome :D
Hey Freshman VN I'm having downloading the game/opening the file do you have any specific instructions for me to do I searched through this page and didn't find any instructions.( My device is PC)I also very much love this game.
Glad you love it! You should be able to download the zip file from this page, then unzip it into a folder on your computer. After that you can open FreshmenPhysicalEducation.exe in that folder to launch the game.
It might be easier to do via the Itch.io app, you can just go to the Freshmen page on the app, click install, and when it's installed, click Launch to open it. The app can be downloaded here: https://itch.io/app
can i install the game without worrying about deleting my saves from an old version? or will those be incompatible when i download the recent update? i’m not too sure how games from itch work because this is the first and only game ive installed from an online source :(
The saves are actually stored in two places - in the game folder itself, and then another location on your computer. Since the saves are stored separately in that other location, it's usually not an issue to download the new version, open it up, and load a save as you would normally.
I will add that since this is an in-development game, there are times when saves may not load in a new version without popping up an error. If this happens to you, you can start a new game and choose the skip option to fast-forward through, remaking your choices as you go. It's not ideal, but as someone who's had to replay from the beginning a lot, it only takes a few minutes.
By final release I just mean the finished version of the club portion of the game. That's the next big content chunk I'll be putting out. It's definitely not the end of the story - we're still at the very beginning.
The next portion of the game after Day 2 ends is Week 1 - basically covering the aftermath of Connor's choices and introducing more ways to hang out with, romance, and hook up with the characters as I continue on with their storylines.
The content release after the club update will be an update to add the new Connor model as well as a new feature called Grind'm, where you can unlock a hookup scenario that's accessed from the main menu. This is designed to fill the gap between bigger story releases so there isn't such a long delay between releases. The update after that one I'm referring to as "The Morning After," which is when we'll dig into the consequences of his choices the night before.
Right now the furthest you can go is making out. Storywise you won't have to wait too much longer to hook up with him - the makeout scene unlocks it early in the next section of the game - but that part of the game isn't made yet.
I am loving the game so much so far! Would you ever consider adding a section for character portraits in the gallery? I love all the different expressions and outfits and hairstyles for everyone. I'm going to end up using all my save slots just to go back and look at them all! 😋
You know, I hadn't considered that, but that could be something I add. The files are all there anyway! I'll note that down and see about doing it after the next release goes out.
Could you please change your Patreon so that each billing cycle is 30 days from the date of charging instead of the 1st of each month? I want to pledge but it is currently the 28th and I would be charged again 3 days later.
There are some bookkeeping and other bts concerns that have kept me from changing it to anniversary billing, but I may change to that cycle when I have the club update ready to go. Thank you for the reminder to look into making it happen!
I really love the New update, but I am having problems to find so many CGs. Especially the fith and seventh which have already been in the game the last update are very hard to find. Could you tell me how to get them? I tried all ways I can imagine.
Small Edit: At some point you should definitly add some guides. Cause story is nice, yes but I want the feeling of completeness. Even if with help XD
I definitely plan to make an official guide, and I actually already started writing one. Once I'm done with the next game release, I may have time to get back to it.
For those CGs, I can help you unlock them, but can you tell me which character's gallery they're in?
It's Marcos Gallery. I did come up with another plan but that one failed as well XD. I am starting to think they are only ment to be for real detectives :)
Those two are unlocked if you bring Matt to orientation with you. At the start of the game, choose to go see his apartment, and then ask him to join you at orientation. All you need to do then is play through the rest of the night and they'll both unlock 🙂
I've been obsessed with this game since the very first update! It's great, and I especially like how much I can relate to Connor as another gay creative writing major lol.
I'm having trouble unlocking three CGs and I was hoping you could help me with that. These are Dominic's 6th, Evan's 3rd, and Matt's 11th.
I'm also having trouble with some of Leo's images (Image 2 of his 21st CG and images 3 and 4 of his 22nd).
As I said, really amazing game and I'm really hoping to play more soon!
Dominic 6th and Evan 3rd: Go to spin the bottle and don't participate.
I don't remember how to get matt 11 but looking at it, it looks like matt squeezing your thigh like Leo would do if you do nothing. So I think you need to garner more love with Matt than Leo and either nudge matt or do nothing and he'll initiate. It might be all in how you talk to him before Matt comes and maybe not lusting on Leo when Matt texts he will be joining. How drunk you get might have played a part as well.
Leo images: The Leo images you are missing is when you decide to cum on face or body. Choose the option you didn't pick before. It's just the aftermath.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I have a lot of fun plans for the game, so I'm working hard to get new content out for you all to play 🙂 And I appreciate you following along since the very beginning!
Bullfrog got most of the CGs covered. For the Matt one, you need to hang out with him during the afternoon, proposition him, and don't back down by pretending it's a joke. During the night with him and Leo, if you nudge his knee his hand will start to creep up your thigh after he leans back against you...
I'm OBSESSED with Matt but I can't seem to get any actual encounters with him, is it possible to hook up with Matt or am I wasting my time? I have most of my gallery full, but I'm still missing lots of things, here goes my list:
Conner, (5th) you have to think back to the last time you masterbated on the first day, this will always be an option. (13th) i think you have to go sleep in matts room after having sex with leo or if you dont have sex with him.
Alex, (3rd,4th,5th) before you choose to either go to the club or matts house or the frat party go to the other places before you text anyone and find alex go through the motions of talking to him and save along the way incase you miss any.
Asher, (4th,5th) text asher to go to the club youll meet him and just talk to him about his sex life.
Dominic, (3rd,4th) i have no idea on the 7th but for the 3rd and fourth meet up with him before you text anyone and talk to him about his sex life.
Griffin, Griffin is the bartender at the club, he'll play a bigger role in the next update but for now he's only got a few GC's.
Isaiah, (4th) you have to talk to him about his sex life in the common area.
Julian (3rd) Talk to Julian instead of Riley while Julian is setting up for the party
Leo (2nd) Go to matts place instead of exploring the campus and when you get back to your room think about leo (10th) Drink too much at matts place.
Mafia, (4th) go to the club and go through until the end
Marco, (1st) Go to your dorm room on your first day, (2nd) after that masturbate to him, (14th,15th) wait for marco to come back to the room before you text anyone and talk about his sex life and then take a shower with him.
Matt, (4th) Go to matts house when you come back masterbate to him, (6th,7th) text matt and go to his house and talk with him about his sex life, (11th) nudge matts knee intead of leo's.
NC17, (4th) go to the club and go through until the end
Owen, (3rd,4th) Go to the frat party and talk to owen about his sex life, (5th) take a shower with him in the room
Riley, (5th, and on) Talk to him before the frat party and talk about his sex life after tha youre on your own.
Thomas, (4th) talk to him after class
Duo & Trio's, (1st) go to to leos and matts place and when you get back to your room imagine matt and leo doing stuff together, or it could be after the party where you meet a bulk of the cast. and i got nothing on the 2nd cause i dont remember where it comes from but it could be the same as the first just imagining julian and riley.
Sorry for not replying sooner, for some reason I didn't get any notifications about new messages!
Looks like you're covered when it comes to the CG unlocks thanks to Lachy15's kindness. I'll make an official guide at some point... As for Griffin, he's the last main character to be introduced and will be heavily involved in the next game release. He has some interesting ties to Matt, in fact...
And speaking of Matt, you can't hook up just yet. He has a slightly slower burn than some of the other characters. But I am going to include a lot of hot stuff for him in the game to tide us over until we can get his pants off.
He's a very popular subject for the Patreon galleries, so I have a lot of practice making sex scenes with him. So I'm pretty confident the ones with Connor will be worth the wait. And since I made you wait so long for a reply, here's one of him double penetrating Riley during a foursome with some actor frat guys. He's quite the sweaty boy...
I never have high expectations for the writing in games like this, so I was really impressed with how polished everything has been. Great work! Can't wait to play more.
Uhm hi! Is the club update still ongoing? I want to play it when it's fully done so that I could enjoy it at the fullest. If not, do you happen to estimate the time of release? This is for me to keep track. This got me hyped! Anyways I'd love to have a Connor and Alex scene. I really loved this game.
Hey there, yes, the club update is still being worked on. I don't really know when it'll be done completely, but based on the amount of work left, the soonest it would go into early access on Patreon will be end of this month / start of May. The public release will be four weeks after the early access release.
The club update has lots of Alex & Connor scenes, so I think you'll be happy 🙂
Hey! I want to first of all congratulate you on this amazing VN! The thing I love the most about it is that you imply each of the guys' position while still allowing the player to pick which position they would like to have during sex with each of the guys! Granted I don't play that many VNs, but it's the first time I see one where this happens!
Secondly, I wanted to ask if there is any sex scene with Evan or Riley yet? They are definitely my favorites, especially Evan, but the version I played ends after the first party on the first day of classes. Is there an update I'm missing? 😅
Thank you! I definitely didn't want people to be pigeonholed into a sexual role. It means making some extra CGs, but it's not like I mind making more sexy images 😉 I'm including extra images for sides, too, who don't want to do anal at all.
In the current version the furthest you can go with Evan or Riley is making out - both were too out of it at the party to go any further. But I plan to give them hookup options in the next section of the game. In the current version of the game we have Part 1, which covers orientation day, and most of Part 2, which is the first day of classes. Part 3 will be the rest of the first week at school and will have those scenes with both guys.
In real time it'll be a little bit until I can make those scenes, but in the actual timespan of the game it's not too long after the start.
Evan and Riley are very popular choices for the galleries I make on Patreon, so they have full hookup scenes with other guys on there. That means I have a lot of practice making sex scenes with them, which is experience I'll use to make in-game ones even hotter 🙂
I really only started messing around with 3D art a year and a half ago. I'd say what helped me the most, beyond just learning how to navigate the 3D program I use, was reading up/watching videos about photography and movie lighting. "Rule of thirds" is a pretty easy, basic photography concept when it comes to framing images, and I generally follow it. But I think lighting is most important. Looking into how they do lighting for TV/movies helped me figure out how to light my own scenes. And then after rendering, I do post-processing in GIMP to do things like sharpen the image, add contrast, and bring out certain colors.
I'm not an art expert by any means, but I hope that helps 🙂
The game doesn't have sound or music yet. It's very early in development and I'm creating this solo; my focus is on writing & art for now. Hopefully at some point I can afford to hire someone to help with sound.
So far, easily the best VN on itch. Can't wait for another update!
The writing is excellent, every character has their specific personality and background, they really feel like a bunch of various college students. Kudos for that. And you even gave us free lesson in creative writing. :)
To Will - It was hilarious how Connor reacted to his own previous work after Will's lesson. :) The "I was writing porn the entire time! It showed so much I'm a horny virgin!" depression (for the lack of better word) was really funny, one of the best parts. One of the things that made him really feel as a human, real, actual young character with feelings, self-doubt etc.
I also really liked the famous guy for how he has layers too. That he's insecure about being in the uni just because of privilege of being a star while the other students proved their talent by passing the entry exams. He's also hot. ;)
Also, nice touch with only straight guys wearing boxers - it's SO true! :)
After finishing the game more than once, with all 3 possible outcomes (I hope I haven't missed any), my only gripe with the game is Connor's "problem" in the end. Is such thing really possible? I've never heard of it and I really don't know how to feel about it, I expected "happier" ending. :) But other than that, really great work!
If the next update is good and the game seems more "finished" after that, you'll be the first creator ever I'll donate money to.
Oh yeah, not getting a "happy ending" your first time is something that happens to a lot of guys. It's nerves that turns into anxiety over something being wrong, and once that sets in, it becomes difficult to stay focused and in the mood. It made sense to me to go that way for Connor's first time considering how panicked he was earlier in the day and how quickly the hookups happened.
There are a couple of scenarios where he can finish, and those share in common that he's much more comfortable with where he's at during those times. There are two of those in the current version, if you haven't found them yet.
If you skip the hookups in this section and have a first time later on in the game, he won't have the same problem because in those scenarios he'll be much more at ease. But those scenes are yet to come. No pun intended 😉
Anyway, thank you again for the kind words! At the end of the day this game is basically about building your own fantasy, whether that be hookups or romances or both. But I wanted to add layers of reality to ground things. Like having a young writer panic about the quality of their writing, haha
Disclaimer: I'm really bad with names, so I don't remember any except for Connor and Marco. :)
You go to the party and when Marco is sad he didn't find anyone to hook up, you go with him and have sex with him. And you can't cum.
I guess this is the end for every option how to spend the party, I tried to be his wingman, to watch the performances, to play spin the bottle and to hang out on my own - btw. the vampire guy is really something.
You go to the party and you ditch Marco for that guy who lives upstairs and has special underwear with fabric specially designed to show as much as possible. He begs you to cum, but you can't and when he eventually cums, he just leaves you there. Then the other guy who lives with him comes in and is really nice to you and just calms you and you eventually cum.
You don't go to the party, but to your best friend. When you are asked to take your shirt off, you go home and catch Marco masturbating. It ends up like option #1.
There are two more hookup/hookup-adjacent endings aside from those. For the first, do the same steps you did to get to #1, but turn down Marco's proposition. When you're given the option to jack off after that, do so, but don't go to Marco's bed (that will just segue into the sex scene). Instead JO together in your own beds. You can reach this same ending via #3 if you turn down his proposition while jacking off together.
For the second, do the same steps leading to #3, but take your shirt off instead of going home. It can lead to two versions of a hookup scene with one of the guys there.
If you leave the frat party with him, he'll proposition you. So it's not too difficult 🙂 After Will's class, hang out with anyone in the afternoon, choose to go to the party, then play through until it's time to leave. When you get back to the dorm, he'll ask to hook up. Alternatively, if you hang out with Matt & Leo at night and leave early (right after they ask you to take your shirt off) you can catch him jacking off and end up hooking up that way.
oh okay thank you so much because when I go to the dorm after the party the game ends and leaves me assuming Marco and Connor would hook up but it's probably I'm playing the game wrong 😅 but thank you so much for your reply and the game is super fun and the visuals are amazing!
If it ends right after you get back to the dorm, you may be playing an older version of the game. Make sure you have v0.1.4, which is the latest release. If you're on another version, you can download the current one from the main page for the game here on Itch.
The game doesn't have music/sound yet, so nothing is wrong with your version 🙂 The game is early in development and the focus is on writing/art. But sound and music will come at some point.
First of all fantastic game, it's been quite a while since I played a visual novel game where the dialogue feels natural and doesn't feel robotic, but I have few questions
First Will the game ever be available on steam? Will it be free after release if yes, if not will you plan on releasing it by yourself, if yes to first no to second, will it still be free, if no will there be special offers for early access players like me
Furthermore, will there be animated scenes or will it always be image slides? Will there be voice acting involved, if yes may I audition? I'm not a professional voice actor I just want to have a voice in the game, that wasn't important
Lastly, will the game only have monogamous routes or will there be an option to romance every candidate all together (I have terrible time choosing between them), if no first of all why but second of all will then the routes have more personal depth to them like Matt and Julian/Owen (hope I remember em right)
Sorry for the question bombarding but I just see so much potential from the game and only hope you guys working there don't feel burn out and quit
I'm glad you're enjoying the game and the dialogue! I never mind answering questions 🙂
I would like to put the game on Steam when it's finished, but it won't be finished for a while, so I haven't planned anything in that regard. The final game would have a price, but for now I'm planning to keep releasing it on here for free and rely on Patreon for funding.
I don't have plans for animated scenes, but I am messing around with how I display images to make them a bit more animated.
I would like voice acting for sure, but it's not something I have the funds for currently.
Right now I'm only thinking of romances as couples, though monogamy may not be the case for some of those relationships. I don't really have plans for throuples or anything, but that doesn't mean it won't come up as I write. The reason: it's already very complicated to keep one storyline straight with all the various choices you can make - intertwining more than one character in a romance would complicate that even more.
I plan to have decently in-depth stories for all the main characters whether they are romanceable or not. The main characters are (in alphabetical order) Alex, Asher, Dominic, Evan, Griffin, Isaiah, Julian, Leo, Mafia, Marco, Matt, NC17, Owen, Riley, Tomas, and Will. Of those 16 characters, 9 will be open to romantic relationships if you make the right choices. The other 7 aren't romanceable for their own character-specific reasons, but I may open some of those guys up as I write.
All the characters exist outside of Connor, so they'll have their own relationships, some of which are connected story-wise like Owen and Julian. Matt and Griffin (a character you can meet in the club update) have connections as well, for example. How much that affects any one romance remains to be seen...
I appreciate all your kind words! "You guys" in this case is just one person. I won't quit, but there will be some gaps between updates based on how much content needs to be created. After the upcoming club update, I plan to introduce new content a little more regularly.
Haha, I don't have a goldfish-esque route planned, don't worry 😂 I do like that Obscurasoft added that, though. It's a funny way to handle a "no romance" route.
I like your metaphor about knitting! It's definitely similar when it comes to trying to keep all the various threads straight. Although it's tough sometimes, I do like the challenge and am happy that players are enjoying the results so far 🙂
I have to say that I love this so much, the art, the story, the characters, everything!
I have a question, I have been getting into this type of art, and this is my favorite game so far, I would like to know what you used to create the characters, I am currently in college and I am in graphic design. I am really into illustration, 3d art, and art in general, it has always caught my attention this type of art but I don't know what is used to create the characters, I would appreciate it if you could share that with me.
hopefully, I don't offend you or anything like that ( it is not my intention at all ).
I never mind answering questions about how I make the game 🙂 I use a program called Daz 3D to make all the 3D images. I don't make the figures I use for the characters but rather buy assets created by very talented 3D artists, mostly from the Daz store. I then edit those figures in Daz to change things like facial features, body features, and skin textures before adding hair and clothing, which are also assets I purchased.
The furthest you can go currently is kissing during spin the bottle and then being groped afterwards. Hitting that point will unlock some fun, sexy stuff in the update after the club update.

I'm so sad that riley is super underrated I hope you guys add more scenes for him when it releases do are you guys still working on this project and if so will riley have more scenes?
Riley is actually one of the most popular guys in the game 🙂 He will absolutely have more scenes - he's a romanceable character.
The next update I release won't feature him since it follows different characters at a different location than where Riley is. But in the story updates after that one, you'll have more scenes with Riley and can potentially take things further than a kiss depending on your choices during the frat party.
"You guys" in this case is just one person, but I'm definitely still working on the game and am close to getting another release done 🙂
Here's a cheeky pic of Riley from a Patreon gallery I did last month to hold us over until he's in the game again. He got brave enough to go to an adults-only costume party at a club and made a few new friends...
THANK YOU 😍😍😍😍
I have one more question so you can kiss him in the game? can you explain how we can get that scene?
Sure! It's slightly tricky to get since it has some specific unlock conditions. Here are the required steps:
- In the afternoon after Will's class, hang out with Riley.
- Towards the end of that hangout, you'll have the opportunity to sexually proposition him. Do it and assure him you're serious.
- Once you do, Riley will bashfully thank you for the compliment. The game will ask if you want to keep trying to proposition him. Do it. (There are other spots to proposition Riley later on, but doing it here is the easiest.)
- At the end of the hangout, choose to go to the frat party.
- When you're given the opportunity to shower before the party, do it.
- When you arrive at the party, spend all of your time with Riley. You can still greet other people at the beginning, just return to him afterward.
- After Victoria arrives and has her confrontation with Riley, defend him.
- After the monologue sequence, choose to hang out with Riley one on one rather than meet some of the actors.
Then just play through and the kissing scene should unlock. It's one of my favorite CGs in the game 🙂
The game is Great, can't wait for new updates!
meanwhile, could you help unlock a CG (Marco 16th)?
Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! To unlock that CG, go to Matt's place in the evening to hang with him & Leo. Midway through when you're asked to take your shirt off, go back to your dorm instead and that CG will unlock.
Thanks so much! Can you spoiler us who the 9 romanceable characters are? I read in the other comments, Griffith and Riley for sure. Marco, Leo, Evan, and Asher are polite valid guesses I suppose. Who else? :)
Romances are Alex, Asher, Dominic, Griffin, Isaiah, Marco, Matt, Owen, & Riley.
Will there be any daddy bears or muscle bears in the future cause those are my favorite? Having all twinks might not be everyone’s cup of tea
The game's focus is college-aged twinks, twunks, and hunks. There will be a couple daddy characters, but I don't think they're what you're picturing when you say daddy bears or muscle bears.
Is there an exact date when the club update while be released to the public?
No specific date yet, but earliest would be end of July for the public release. Once it goes into early access on Patreon I'll share a release schedule with specific dates.
will this ever be available on mobile?
I would love to at some point, but it won't be for a while. At this point in development I don't really have the means to do a port since I'm working solo. But I do know a lot of people want it on Android, so it's on my list of things to get figured out.
No worries, I appreciate the response.
Hey Freshman VN can I actually hook up with Julian, Owen , Matt, or the professors?--I know so far their is this interrupted scene with Alex(maybe it's upcoming with the club update) ? But so far the character models and the background is amazing and I love how you give each character their own personality.
Thank you! Yes, in the current version of the game you can hook up with Julian and have a hookup-adjacent encounter with Owen shortly after. The teachers will have hookups in a future update.
To get to the scene with Julian & Owen, head to the frat party on your second evening at school and make sure you interact with Julian at some point. At the end of the party, he'll ask you to help him get upstairs and the story will proceed from there.
Oh okay thank you so much greatly appreciate it--I did edit my question sorry to bother but is there any possible way to hook up with Matt because I only end up" hooking up" with Leo at the end.
Not yet, it'll take a little longer to hook up with Matt due to his hangups. I'll still have some sexual content for him until then, though, including 8 CGs coming in the next update. And re: Alex, yeah, you'll be able to hook up with him at the club 🙂
thank you and I've been playing this game a lot haha and I really do have a few personal favorite characters being Owen and Marco because I like their personality alot besides them being attractive--I seriously can't wait for the next update as I know it's going to be awesome :D
Hey Freshman VN I'm having downloading the game/opening the file do you have any specific instructions for me to do I searched through this page and didn't find any instructions.( My device is PC)I also very much love this game.
Glad you love it! You should be able to download the zip file from this page, then unzip it into a folder on your computer. After that you can open FreshmenPhysicalEducation.exe in that folder to launch the game.
It might be easier to do via the Itch.io app, you can just go to the Freshmen page on the app, click install, and when it's installed, click Launch to open it. The app can be downloaded here: https://itch.io/app
Thank you so much :D !
how the fuck do i update the game
Hope there will be an android version of this 🥺🥹
What kinks are involved in this? Or is it entirely Vanilla sex?
It leans mainstream. But who knows, maybe I'll go kinkier later on. We're still pretty early in the game.
Alright. Thanks for the answer. Would love to see some dom/sub play, but I'll wait and see. Good luck with the project. :)
Will there be an Android version?
can i install the game without worrying about deleting my saves from an old version? or will those be incompatible when i download the recent update? i’m not too sure how games from itch work because this is the first and only game ive installed from an online source :(
The saves are actually stored in two places - in the game folder itself, and then another location on your computer. Since the saves are stored separately in that other location, it's usually not an issue to download the new version, open it up, and load a save as you would normally.
I will add that since this is an in-development game, there are times when saves may not load in a new version without popping up an error. If this happens to you, you can start a new game and choose the skip option to fast-forward through, remaking your choices as you go. It's not ideal, but as someone who's had to replay from the beginning a lot, it only takes a few minutes.
Yummy keep up the good work.
Glad you like it 🙂
Hi, first of just wanna say this is one of my favorite games on here and I'm so glad I dicovered this gem.
I'm wondering what do you mean by final release in your Milestone dev updates, does that mean the story is gonna end shortly after day 2?
Anyways awesome game, hope you have a great day
I'm glad you're enjoying the game 🙂
By final release I just mean the finished version of the club portion of the game. That's the next big content chunk I'll be putting out. It's definitely not the end of the story - we're still at the very beginning.
The next portion of the game after Day 2 ends is Week 1 - basically covering the aftermath of Connor's choices and introducing more ways to hang out with, romance, and hook up with the characters as I continue on with their storylines.
The content release after the club update will be an update to add the new Connor model as well as a new feature called Grind'm, where you can unlock a hookup scenario that's accessed from the main menu. This is designed to fill the gap between bigger story releases so there isn't such a long delay between releases. The update after that one I'm referring to as "The Morning After," which is when we'll dig into the consequences of his choices the night before.
ah ok thanks for answering, that's great to hear! I had the feeling that the story wass just starting to unfold, definitely in for the long ride
Can you actually have sex with Riley or is the makeout session it?
Right now the furthest you can go is making out. Storywise you won't have to wait too much longer to hook up with him - the makeout scene unlocks it early in the next section of the game - but that part of the game isn't made yet.
I am loving the game so much so far! Would you ever consider adding a section for character portraits in the gallery? I love all the different expressions and outfits and hairstyles for everyone. I'm going to end up using all my save slots just to go back and look at them all! 😋
You know, I hadn't considered that, but that could be something I add. The files are all there anyway! I'll note that down and see about doing it after the next release goes out.
Could you please change your Patreon so that each billing cycle is 30 days from the date of charging instead of the 1st of each month? I want to pledge but it is currently the 28th and I would be charged again 3 days later.
There are some bookkeeping and other bts concerns that have kept me from changing it to anniversary billing, but I may change to that cycle when I have the club update ready to go. Thank you for the reminder to look into making it happen!
I really love the New update, but I am having problems to find so many CGs. Especially the fith and seventh which have already been in the game the last update are very hard to find. Could you tell me how to get them? I tried all ways I can imagine.
Small Edit: At some point you should definitly add some guides. Cause story is nice, yes but I want the feeling of completeness. Even if with help XD
I definitely plan to make an official guide, and I actually already started writing one. Once I'm done with the next game release, I may have time to get back to it.
For those CGs, I can help you unlock them, but can you tell me which character's gallery they're in?
It's Marcos Gallery. I did come up with another plan but that one failed as well XD. I am starting to think they are only ment to be for real detectives :)
Those two are unlocked if you bring Matt to orientation with you. At the start of the game, choose to go see his apartment, and then ask him to join you at orientation. All you need to do then is play through the rest of the night and they'll both unlock 🙂
I've been obsessed with this game since the very first update! It's great, and I especially like how much I can relate to Connor as another gay creative writing major lol.
I'm having trouble unlocking three CGs and I was hoping you could help me with that. These are Dominic's 6th, Evan's 3rd, and Matt's 11th.
I'm also having trouble with some of Leo's images (Image 2 of his 21st CG and images 3 and 4 of his 22nd).
As I said, really amazing game and I'm really hoping to play more soon!
Dominic 6th and Evan 3rd: Go to spin the bottle and don't participate.
I don't remember how to get matt 11 but looking at it, it looks like matt squeezing your thigh like Leo would do if you do nothing. So I think you need to garner more love with Matt than Leo and either nudge matt or do nothing and he'll initiate. It might be all in how you talk to him before Matt comes and maybe not lusting on Leo when Matt texts he will be joining. How drunk you get might have played a part as well.
Leo images: The Leo images you are missing is when you decide to cum on face or body. Choose the option you didn't pick before. It's just the aftermath.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I have a lot of fun plans for the game, so I'm working hard to get new content out for you all to play 🙂 And I appreciate you following along since the very beginning!
Bullfrog got most of the CGs covered. For the Matt one, you need to hang out with him during the afternoon, proposition him, and don't back down by pretending it's a joke. During the night with him and Leo, if you nudge his knee his hand will start to creep up your thigh after he leans back against you...
I'm OBSESSED with Matt but I can't seem to get any actual encounters with him, is it possible to hook up with Matt or am I wasting my time? I have most of my gallery full, but I'm still missing lots of things, here goes my list:
Connor: 5th and 13th scene
Alex: 3rd, 4th and 5th
Asher: 4th and 5th
Dominic: 3rd, 4th and 7th
Griffin: who tf is Griffin
Isaiah: 4th
Julian: 3rd
Leo: 2nd image of the 10th scene
Mafia: 4th
Marco: 1st, 2nd, 14th and 15th
Matt: 4th, 6th, 7th and 11th
NC17: 4th
Owen: 3rd, 4th and 5th
Riley: from fifth on
Tomas: 4th
Duos & Trios: 1st and 2nd
Any help on those would be amazing.
Conner, (5th) you have to think back to the last time you masterbated on the first day, this will always be an option. (13th) i think you have to go sleep in matts room after having sex with leo or if you dont have sex with him.
Alex, (3rd,4th,5th) before you choose to either go to the club or matts house or the frat party go to the other places before you text anyone and find alex go through the motions of talking to him and save along the way incase you miss any.
Asher, (4th,5th) text asher to go to the club youll meet him and just talk to him about his sex life.
Dominic, (3rd,4th) i have no idea on the 7th but for the 3rd and fourth meet up with him before you text anyone and talk to him about his sex life.
Griffin, Griffin is the bartender at the club, he'll play a bigger role in the next update but for now he's only got a few GC's.
Isaiah, (4th) you have to talk to him about his sex life in the common area.
Julian (3rd) Talk to Julian instead of Riley while Julian is setting up for the party
Leo (2nd) Go to matts place instead of exploring the campus and when you get back to your room think about leo (10th) Drink too much at matts place.
Mafia, (4th) go to the club and go through until the end
Marco, (1st) Go to your dorm room on your first day, (2nd) after that masturbate to him, (14th,15th) wait for marco to come back to the room before you text anyone and talk about his sex life and then take a shower with him.
Matt, (4th) Go to matts house when you come back masterbate to him, (6th,7th) text matt and go to his house and talk with him about his sex life, (11th) nudge matts knee intead of leo's.
NC17, (4th) go to the club and go through until the end
Owen, (3rd,4th) Go to the frat party and talk to owen about his sex life, (5th) take a shower with him in the room
Riley, (5th, and on) Talk to him before the frat party and talk about his sex life after tha youre on your own.
Thomas, (4th) talk to him after class
Duo & Trio's, (1st) go to to leos and matts place and when you get back to your room imagine matt and leo doing stuff together, or it could be after the party where you meet a bulk of the cast. and i got nothing on the 2nd cause i dont remember where it comes from but it could be the same as the first just imagining julian and riley.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Sorry for not replying sooner, for some reason I didn't get any notifications about new messages!
Looks like you're covered when it comes to the CG unlocks thanks to Lachy15's kindness. I'll make an official guide at some point... As for Griffin, he's the last main character to be introduced and will be heavily involved in the next game release. He has some interesting ties to Matt, in fact...
And speaking of Matt, you can't hook up just yet. He has a slightly slower burn than some of the other characters. But I am going to include a lot of hot stuff for him in the game to tide us over until we can get his pants off.
He's a very popular subject for the Patreon galleries, so I have a lot of practice making sex scenes with him. So I'm pretty confident the ones with Connor will be worth the wait. And since I made you wait so long for a reply, here's one of him double penetrating Riley during a foursome with some actor frat guys. He's quite the sweaty boy...
thanks a lot for replying, i'm so excited for future updates!
Hi, how is it going^^
This game is hot as f**k
I try 😊
Okay Matt is hot I mean damn.
It took a long time to create his model, but I definitely think the hotness was worth it 🤤
Are there any dev builds past 0.1.5.1?
The next dev build will be this week sometime, it's just about done.
I never have high expectations for the writing in games like this, so I was really impressed with how polished everything has been. Great work! Can't wait to play more.
I am now desperate to see a lot more of Riley.
I'm looking forward to sharing a lot more Riley, too! In the meantime, here's a pic I made of him & Matt to tide us over...
😍
Thank you so much! 🙂
Uhm hi! Is the club update still ongoing? I want to play it when it's fully done so that I could enjoy it at the fullest. If not, do you happen to estimate the time of release? This is for me to keep track. This got me hyped! Anyways I'd love to have a Connor and Alex scene. I really loved this game.
Hey there, yes, the club update is still being worked on. I don't really know when it'll be done completely, but based on the amount of work left, the soonest it would go into early access on Patreon will be end of this month / start of May. The public release will be four weeks after the early access release.
The club update has lots of Alex & Connor scenes, so I think you'll be happy 🙂
Will you let us know here when it's released on Patreon so we can go over there and subscribe? :3
Yup, I'll do an announcement post on here with the release schedule when it's in early access 🙂
Hey! I want to first of all congratulate you on this amazing VN! The thing I love the most about it is that you imply each of the guys' position while still allowing the player to pick which position they would like to have during sex with each of the guys! Granted I don't play that many VNs, but it's the first time I see one where this happens!
Secondly, I wanted to ask if there is any sex scene with Evan or Riley yet? They are definitely my favorites, especially Evan, but the version I played ends after the first party on the first day of classes. Is there an update I'm missing? 😅
Thank you! I definitely didn't want people to be pigeonholed into a sexual role. It means making some extra CGs, but it's not like I mind making more sexy images 😉 I'm including extra images for sides, too, who don't want to do anal at all.
In the current version the furthest you can go with Evan or Riley is making out - both were too out of it at the party to go any further. But I plan to give them hookup options in the next section of the game. In the current version of the game we have Part 1, which covers orientation day, and most of Part 2, which is the first day of classes. Part 3 will be the rest of the first week at school and will have those scenes with both guys.
In real time it'll be a little bit until I can make those scenes, but in the actual timespan of the game it's not too long after the start.
Evan and Riley are very popular choices for the galleries I make on Patreon, so they have full hookup scenes with other guys on there. That means I have a lot of practice making sex scenes with them, which is experience I'll use to make in-game ones even hotter 🙂
just finished getting all the CGs today and gotta the art looks really well done :)
Any art secrets you’d be willing to share for someone who may have been inspired by the awesome art?
Thanks, I'm happy to read you like the art!
I really only started messing around with 3D art a year and a half ago. I'd say what helped me the most, beyond just learning how to navigate the 3D program I use, was reading up/watching videos about photography and movie lighting. "Rule of thirds" is a pretty easy, basic photography concept when it comes to framing images, and I generally follow it. But I think lighting is most important. Looking into how they do lighting for TV/movies helped me figure out how to light my own scenes. And then after rendering, I do post-processing in GIMP to do things like sharpen the image, add contrast, and bring out certain colors.
I'm not an art expert by any means, but I hope that helps 🙂
How do I run the game in Endless OS? The executable file does not work.
This Endless OS is a distro based on Debian.
I'm really excited to play, so please help me.... lolol Thanks
I have no familiarity with Endless OS, so I don't know how to get it to play, unfortunately.
Why there is no sound when I playing this game?
The game doesn't have sound or music yet. It's very early in development and I'm creating this solo; my focus is on writing & art for now. Hopefully at some point I can afford to hire someone to help with sound.
So far, easily the best VN on itch. Can't wait for another update!
The writing is excellent, every character has their specific personality and background, they really feel like a bunch of various college students. Kudos for that. And you even gave us free lesson in creative writing. :)
Thank you so much 🙂 And yeah, I slipped a mini lesson in there, even if I don't necessarily agree with everything Will says haha
Thanks for the reply. :)
To Will - It was hilarious how Connor reacted to his own previous work after Will's lesson. :) The "I was writing porn the entire time! It showed so much I'm a horny virgin!" depression (for the lack of better word) was really funny, one of the best parts. One of the things that made him really feel as a human, real, actual young character with feelings, self-doubt etc.
I also really liked the famous guy for how he has layers too. That he's insecure about being in the uni just because of privilege of being a star while the other students proved their talent by passing the entry exams. He's also hot. ;)
Also, nice touch with only straight guys wearing boxers - it's SO true! :)
After finishing the game more than once, with all 3 possible outcomes (I hope I haven't missed any), my only gripe with the game is Connor's "problem" in the end. Is such thing really possible? I've never heard of it and I really don't know how to feel about it, I expected "happier" ending. :) But other than that, really great work!
If the next update is good and the game seems more "finished" after that, you'll be the first creator ever I'll donate money to.
Oh yeah, not getting a "happy ending" your first time is something that happens to a lot of guys. It's nerves that turns into anxiety over something being wrong, and once that sets in, it becomes difficult to stay focused and in the mood. It made sense to me to go that way for Connor's first time considering how panicked he was earlier in the day and how quickly the hookups happened.
There are a couple of scenarios where he can finish, and those share in common that he's much more comfortable with where he's at during those times. There are two of those in the current version, if you haven't found them yet.
If you skip the hookups in this section and have a first time later on in the game, he won't have the same problem because in those scenarios he'll be much more at ease. But those scenes are yet to come. No pun intended 😉
Anyway, thank you again for the kind words! At the end of the day this game is basically about building your own fantasy, whether that be hookups or romances or both. But I wanted to add layers of reality to ground things. Like having a young writer panic about the quality of their writing, haha
As I said, I found 3.
***SPOILER***
Disclaimer: I'm really bad with names, so I don't remember any except for Connor and Marco. :)
I guess this is the end for every option how to spend the party, I tried to be his wingman, to watch the performances, to play spin the bottle and to hang out on my own - btw. the vampire guy is really something.
There are two more hookup/hookup-adjacent endings aside from those. For the first, do the same steps you did to get to #1, but turn down Marco's proposition. When you're given the option to jack off after that, do so, but don't go to Marco's bed (that will just segue into the sex scene). Instead JO together in your own beds. You can reach this same ending via #3 if you turn down his proposition while jacking off together.
For the second, do the same steps leading to #3, but take your shirt off instead of going home. It can lead to two versions of a hookup scene with one of the guys there.
How can I hook up with Marco?
If you leave the frat party with him, he'll proposition you. So it's not too difficult 🙂 After Will's class, hang out with anyone in the afternoon, choose to go to the party, then play through until it's time to leave. When you get back to the dorm, he'll ask to hook up. Alternatively, if you hang out with Matt & Leo at night and leave early (right after they ask you to take your shirt off) you can catch him jacking off and end up hooking up that way.
oh okay thank you so much because when I go to the dorm after the party the game ends and leaves me assuming Marco and Connor would hook up but it's probably I'm playing the game wrong 😅 but thank you so much for your reply and the game is super fun and the visuals are amazing!
If it ends right after you get back to the dorm, you may be playing an older version of the game. Make sure you have v0.1.4, which is the latest release. If you're on another version, you can download the current one from the main page for the game here on Itch.
The game doesn't have music/sound yet, so nothing is wrong with your version 🙂 The game is early in development and the focus is on writing/art. But sound and music will come at some point.
How am I able to play this on phone? If possible please
Please do android version
First of all fantastic game, it's been quite a while since I played a visual novel game where the dialogue feels natural and doesn't feel robotic, but I have few questions
First Will the game ever be available on steam? Will it be free after release if yes, if not will you plan on releasing it by yourself, if yes to first no to second, will it still be free, if no will there be special offers for early access players like me
Furthermore, will there be animated scenes or will it always be image slides? Will there be voice acting involved, if yes may I audition? I'm not a professional voice actor I just want to have a voice in the game, that wasn't important
Lastly, will the game only have monogamous routes or will there be an option to romance every candidate all together (I have terrible time choosing between them), if no first of all why but second of all will then the routes have more personal depth to them like Matt and Julian/Owen (hope I remember em right)
Sorry for the question bombarding but I just see so much potential from the game and only hope you guys working there don't feel burn out and quit
I'm glad you're enjoying the game and the dialogue! I never mind answering questions 🙂
I would like to put the game on Steam when it's finished, but it won't be finished for a while, so I haven't planned anything in that regard. The final game would have a price, but for now I'm planning to keep releasing it on here for free and rely on Patreon for funding.
I don't have plans for animated scenes, but I am messing around with how I display images to make them a bit more animated.
I would like voice acting for sure, but it's not something I have the funds for currently.
Right now I'm only thinking of romances as couples, though monogamy may not be the case for some of those relationships. I don't really have plans for throuples or anything, but that doesn't mean it won't come up as I write. The reason: it's already very complicated to keep one storyline straight with all the various choices you can make - intertwining more than one character in a romance would complicate that even more.
I plan to have decently in-depth stories for all the main characters whether they are romanceable or not. The main characters are (in alphabetical order) Alex, Asher, Dominic, Evan, Griffin, Isaiah, Julian, Leo, Mafia, Marco, Matt, NC17, Owen, Riley, Tomas, and Will. Of those 16 characters, 9 will be open to romantic relationships if you make the right choices. The other 7 aren't romanceable for their own character-specific reasons, but I may open some of those guys up as I write.
All the characters exist outside of Connor, so they'll have their own relationships, some of which are connected story-wise like Owen and Julian. Matt and Griffin (a character you can meet in the club update) have connections as well, for example. How much that affects any one romance remains to be seen...
I appreciate all your kind words! "You guys" in this case is just one person. I won't quit, but there will be some gaps between updates based on how much content needs to be created. After the upcoming club update, I plan to introduce new content a little more regularly.
Haha, I don't have a goldfish-esque route planned, don't worry 😂 I do like that Obscurasoft added that, though. It's a funny way to handle a "no romance" route.
I like your metaphor about knitting! It's definitely similar when it comes to trying to keep all the various threads straight. Although it's tough sometimes, I do like the challenge and am happy that players are enjoying the results so far 🙂
I have to say that I love this so much, the art, the story, the characters, everything!
I have a question, I have been getting into this type of art, and this is my favorite game so far, I would like to know what you used to create the characters, I am currently in college and I am in graphic design. I am really into illustration, 3d art, and art in general, it has always caught my attention this type of art but I don't know what is used to create the characters, I would appreciate it if you could share that with me.
hopefully, I don't offend you or anything like that ( it is not my intention at all ).
I'm glad you're loving everything!
I never mind answering questions about how I make the game 🙂 I use a program called Daz 3D to make all the 3D images. I don't make the figures I use for the characters but rather buy assets created by very talented 3D artists, mostly from the Daz store. I then edit those figures in Daz to change things like facial features, body features, and skin textures before adding hair and clothing, which are also assets I purchased.
Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de version pour Android 😥😥😥
Can we hook up with Dominic yet? Or it's just the kissing at the party?
The furthest you can go currently is kissing during spin the bottle and then being groped afterwards. Hitting that point will unlock some fun, sexy stuff in the update after the club update.
one day it will be on android
