I will do an Android version at some point, but I don't know when. I think there are either emulators or sites that already made an Android version if you look, though.
Hi Danny! I’m not a native English speaker but I’d love to leave a comment: I love this game!
The narratives, the characters, the CGs, and the multiple branches are amazing! I was really surprised by those differences when I replayed the “Matt and Leo’s apartment” part. Those thoughts when Conner wants more with Matt so he refused Leo are so cute. I can see the afterward relationships are going to be different and will be huge amount of works for you, so wish you the best and I’m really excited to see those updates! Those effort you put in creating characters and dialogues makes them really attractive. So far I love Matt the most. Looking at the public images where Matt put his hands and mouth on Conner and awwww, I just can’t wait to explore their story lines! Leo is my second favorite but I’m pretty sure when “frat party” part releases there might be someone else.
And I’m wondering if you have other works (novels, maybe?), because I really love your writing, your characters, and desperately want to see more. Anyway really amazing game and I’m happy to be here watching this game grow bigger and better.
Thank you so much! Creating this game does require a huge amount of work, but it's very much worth it when I receive comments like yours. I plan to keep making the game bigger and better 🙂
I do have many other works published, but since they're not in the adult realm, I need to keep my actual identity secret to avoid any conflicts. So I won't be able to share titles for other things I've written. But hopefully I can continue to create new content for Freshmen on a regular enough schedule that you won't need to wait too long for more!
The Matt route is gonna be interesting for sure. Matt has personal motivations and unresolved feelings that will lead to him making choices that I don't think you guys as players will expect. But there is absolutely potential for a sensual, emotional connection to develop if you work through that...
Extremely ambitious with a lot of unique and interesting characters and routes. While I'm excited to see how fleshed out everything gets, I also don't envy you for the immense task you've given yourself lol. Good luck!
If you dowloaded the joiplay app and the ren'py plugin and the game for Windows, then you want to open joiplay and click on the +, it'll ask you the name, the version and the location of the game on your device, you then search the folder where you dowloaded the game from the app until you click the exe and then 'choose'
I Had a question. What device are you using for rendering/modelling/puppeteering??
What are your device specifications?? I'm thinking of trying out making something like this ,is a dedicated GPU compulsory? Minimum ram? Thanks in advance
I use Daz 3D to create everything. I would absolutely recommend a dedicated GPU, renders done on the CPU are incredibly slow. Memory is also very important, especially for complex scenes.
My card is GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, and I have 32 GB ram. I give my scenes about an hour to render to come out at good quality. Many are probably done rendering before that, that's just how much I give them ;)
Daz's help desk article for absolute minimum specs is here, but it's from 2017 and I wouldn't recommend only using the minimum anyway:
I love this so much. The game quality is amazing and i love that the personality of the characters are so varied. I actually like the main character so much, he's so witty and charming. Really looking forward to more updates. Any estimated time for the full release?
I'm glad you're loving it :) I don't know when the game will be completely finished, but it won't be for a while. I have a lot of story planned, and with the branching storylines, each update involves a significant amount of writing. But I'll be releasing new chunks of content as regularly as I can!
This is a hard question because I love all my guys, haha.
If I had to choose who I think is most attractive... maybe Owen or Marco. But I also just wrote scenes featuring them earlier today, so that's probably influencing my choice. ;)
Connor's brother is also pretty hot, but it'll be a little while before you can meet him in-game...
Loved the vn!! Great work man! I'd definitely like to be your patreon someday! You're doing this alone? It must be so much work! I'm learning CGI and coding too as a CST student. Maybe we could collab someday in the future💖
Aside from that, I have some CC.
Could you make CGIs for the dream seq.s as well. Your writing is dope but the dreams feel a little flat...one pic per seen would be great too!
+Could we get some back views for future CGIs,
Ds are ok but I really wanna see Matt's back and you know *cough cough
Hey there, I'm glad you're loving it. I am indeed making this game solo, and yes, it's a lot of work :)
The fantasy sequences will have to stay as just one image per person. For the ones after orientation, I wrote over 100 different sex scenarios between all of the guys. That would be a *ton* of CGs to make, which unfortunately I don't have time to do.
But all of the actual hookup scenes will have lots and lots of CGs showing the action. The two versions of the hookup in the current public release have 30 CGs between them, and the two hookups coming in the next release will have around 40. Later sex scenes will have even more since I'll be letting players choose if they want to top, bottom, or stay oral only.
I am a big fan of man ass, so I can promise I'll include CGs showing the guys off from the back ;) If you do end up joining Patreon, one of the first galleries I made for it has a pic of Matt from behind wearing just a jockstrap, which is a fave of mine.
I've been working on the game for about a year now. The characters were made by combining and editing 3D assets I purchased, so I didn't create those from scratch. But all aspects of the CGs and other images, from posing to lighting to composition, etc., I do myself.
I'm glad you like Matt--he has lots of fans, including me, so he will have plenty of scenes as the game progresses!
Thank you for the great questions! Since there aren't many images featuring Matt in the game yet, I'm gonna share this promo pic I made a little while ago to show some of his stats. Hope you like it :)
If you don't mind...where did you buy the assets? Did you buy the full models? How long did it take for you to re-render/ upgrade the purchased models? I really want to start learning to make stuff like this! Sorry to bother you so much..
I mentioned in another reply that I use Daz 3D for the renders. I buy the majority of my assets from their store, everything from figure models to environments to props. The adult assets all come from Renderotica.
I buy full models, and then I edit most of them by combining multiple characters and using shape morphs. I want all my skin textures to reach a certain quality level, so often I'll use/edit a base figure asset and then apply the skin from another figure, including sometimes female model textures. I also change the eye textures to be more realistic, and when I give them hair I often retexture it as well with a more natural shader. And then there's adding the dicks—making sure the skin color works, editing the shape so no two dicks are alike, adding pubes...
Some figures take very little time to create, particularly if they're more or less ready to use straight from the box, as it were. But for most figures I spend a lot of time reiterating before I'm happy. The early models like Connor, Marco, Matt, Riley, and Leo went through a lot of versions before they were done. But even new characters, like the 14 new side characters who'll pop up during the frat party, still take quite a bit of time to make. That's just me being nitpicky however ;)
Now, you definitely do not need to do all this. I'm just going for a specific visual style. You could 100% buy a figure model (only on sale, never buy full price!), add a hair asset, and add clothes, and then you'll be set. But the above it is the basics of what I personally do :)
Have you unzipped the file? If you're on Windows, you should be able to right click on it and then select one of the extract options, which will create a normal folder that you can open. Inside that folder will be the exe file. There's probably a similar unzip functionality on other operating systems if you're not using Windows.
First of all, I wanted to congratulate you for creating such a great game. I really love it and am obsessed right now. Secondly, I wanted to ask you something regarding your Patreon. I would like to subscribe to it as soon as I have some money :D Do I get access to all the earlier released galleries and posts or not because I would really like to see every content you have released until now. :)
Thank you, I'm so glad you've been enjoying it! And yes, you get access to every post available to your patron tier when you join Patreon. Nothing is locked by month. You'll be able to see all the monthly galleries back to the beginning if you join as a Sophomore, and also all the bonus galleries if you join as a Junior, Senior, or Graduate. :)
Hi! This is such a great game, it’s probably one of my fav visual novels I’ve played! I was just wondering if you could give on some insight on how I could completely reset my progress in the game. I haven’t played the last two updates and would like to start over since it’s been a few months since I last played. I’m on Windows. Thank you!
I'm glad you've been enjoying the game! The easiest way would be to start a new game by clicking "Start" on the main menu. All choices will be reset for a new game, so nothing you've done in prior playthroughs will affect your new game. The only data that is permanently unlocked during a playthrough are the gallery images, and the game will let you skip through any dialogue you've read in the past.
If you want to 100% delete all of your old saved dataand reset the gallery to have all images locked again, you can do this:
1) Use File Explorer to locate AppData\Roaming\RenPy\FreshmenPhysicalEducation. The full path usually begins with something like C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\[etc.] but could be different based on your computer setup.
1b) By default the AppData folder is hidden. If you get into C:\Users\[user name] and don't see that folder, click "View" at the top of the window, and then in the Show/Hide section make sure "Hidden items" is checked.
2) Delete everything in the FreshmenPhysicalEducation folder.
3) Open the folder where the game is stored (the latest version is stored in a folder called "FreshmenPhysicalEducation-0.1.3-pc" unless you changed the name).
4) Open the "game" folder, then open the "saves" folder.
5) Delete everything in the "saves" folder.
That should do a complete reset, but let me know if you have any trouble!
Hi again! Thank you so much for your help, it worked!! I’ve also tried to do this with other games as well but I never truly knew how to do it until now. I look forward to the new updates coming up :)
In looking at my Gallery, even before this most recent update, I am missing soo many CGs. Does anyone have a walkthrough yet on how to acquire them all? Such as I am missing the last one or two on almost everyone, have yet to meet Griffin, and three from Duos and Trios.
I am going through it again to see if there are any conversations I haven't answered a certain way but any help would be great :)
I haven't written a CG unlock guide, but I can point you in the right direction. For Griffin, go hang out with Asher at the club when you pick who you want to talk to after Will's class. That choice will also unlock CGs for Asher and Mafia/NC17. For the duos & trios, you need to have expressed attraction to everyone included in those CGs for you to be able to unlock them. The options to unlock them are during the fantasy sequence after orientation, so before then make sure you picked a "he's hot" choice for the guys in these groupings: Matt/Leo, Owen/Julian, Will/Tomas, and Asher/Mafia/NC17.
The last images for everyone else are either unlocked during the fantasy sequence after orientation (so just pick their option there) or during one of the hangout sessions after Will's class if they're one of the eight hangout options (Alex, Asher, Dominic, Isaiah, Marco, Matt, Owen, & Riley). Those hangouts have two CGs each for all eight guys.
Hope that helps you track them down! If there are any others missing, let me know the character and where on the grid the missing image is and I can tell you how to unlock it.
THANK YOU! That got almost all of them unlocked for me. For some reason I didn't even go down the path of texting people. The only two I am missing now are CG 2 of 2 of Leo carrying me and the CG of Matt inbetween awake leaning against me and passed out leaning against me
Leo: The order changes based on what's already unlocked, so I'll tell you both. For both CGs, get completely drunk by accepting & drinking everything offered. There's one CG for reaching out for him and another CG for letting him pass by.
Matt: Go hang out with Matt after Will's class in the afternoon (Text someone > Matt). During that hangout, proposition him without trying to play it off. This will add an additional CG for the evening hangout after you nudge his knee.
Thank you! This is a choice flag error that pops up for some saves, though I'm not entirely sure why. I thought I fixed it, but I'll have to do some more research to figure out why it's still happening to some people. In the meantime, getting to the new content will require starting from the beginning or you can try loading an earlier save if you have one. Using skip will hopefully make it pretty quick to get to the new stuff. Sorry for the hassle!
Thanks so much! Still new to this VN stuff but l really love this one. The art is terrific and the characters are so diverse, the variety is great. Thanks again
Would you like us to continue posting the File Errors we receive that might be different from those posted above?
And thank you fo the update... this seems to be a fantastic addition to the story. I am unable to get past Matt being asleep and Leo walking past "eye level" without the game crashing each time
Sure, that would be helpful. If it says "NameError: name [something] is not defined," the only fix I know of for now is to start a new game from the beginning. I would also be curious to know the point you made the save that you loaded since I'm not sure why this is only happening to a few people (as far as I know).
I started over and did not get any errors... fantastic scenes by the way... WOOF! I had started initially with a save talking to Riley and in thinking back, this save I don't believe I actually ever went over to Matt and Leo's initially and had bailed on saying I would go to Matt's to go with Riley instead. Without those links could that have caused the errors?
I'm not entirely sure yet what caused the error screen, but it could possibly be due to the save being made after you picked who to hang out with for the evening. I'm recommending making a save before picking whether to spend the evening at Matt's place, the party, or the club, although I'm not entirely sure if that's what caused the issue. Thank you for that detail, though, that'll help guide me as I figure out a fix! :)
Hey guys, little help please. So l keep getting error messages with this build. I click ignore and the game crashes. I even re-downloaded it again and same thing. Anybody else having trouble or do l just not know what l am doing? Thanks
If there's a full screen error message in the game itself, can you tell me what the error message(s) say? Just the stuff under "While running game code". That'll help me see what's up. If it's some sort of PC pop-up I'll be curious to know what it says as well...
If you haven't already, you could also try doing a speedrun from the beginning using the skip feature, which usually fixes it if it's some sort of choice flag issue. Sometimes the saves don't play nicely with new updates, which unfortunately can happen with an in-development game like this.
The story is so complex and deep! Also the textures on the CGIs are perfect! I often felt watching a TV show with real guys. The quality is extremely high! 11 out of 10!! You are making a peace of art! Looking foward for the next parts.
I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but there's suppose to be another hookup guy coming eventually right? Making it 9 romanceable guys and 8 hookup onlys? (wondering if I'm mixing the numbers up with another game I'm following)
I think you are indeed remembering this game, but the numbers are slightly off since I think Connor got added to that tally. I'm pretty sure I must have said the wrong number at some point because I almost did it again when writing this response!
So to clarify: There are 16 main guys in total, not including the PC. Of those 16 guys, 8 you can romance and/or have a fuck buddy relationship with, 1 is romance only, and 7 are hookup only.
All 16 guys have been introduced as of the most recent public release. In alphabetical order:
Alex (streamer) Asher (musician) Dominic (British voice actor) Evan (classmate) Griffin (bartender) Isaiah (dancer) Julian (frat guy) Leo (best friend's roommate) Mafia (muscly band member) Marco (roommate) Matt (best friend) NC17 (slender band member) Owen (hippie) Riley (RA) Tomas (quiet professor) Will (mentor professor)
I'll add that I've been making some new minor characters for an upcoming release, and after seeing how their character designs came out I may very well add more hookups throughout the game so I have an excuse to get them naked ;)
Thanks for the response. I honestly thought I was gaslighting myself. And I'm excited to meet the new characters. I'm sure they'll be great additions to the story.
I just downloaded and played and i’m already obsessed….. my favs are riley and marco so far and even though i can’t financially support you i’m still sending out love that you can finish this amazing project🤍 also when more of this comes out do you have plans to make us pay for it or…..
So glad you like it! Right now the game is being funded just by Patreon. I don't really have plans beyond that at the moment except eventually selling the game as a complete package once it's completely done (which will be quite a ways away from now).
Due to the costs involved in making this game, I may need to change this funding model at some point, but you can expect at least the next several updates for free.
You can definitely spend time with Evan throughout the game, but I don't currently have a full romance path planned for him. I *may* add a romance path for him in the future, but for now I've limited the romances to 9 of the guys. But all of the main guys have storylines regardless if they are romanceable or not. I was just outlining some Evan content for the upcoming frat party, in fact :)
I am actually loving this game, usually I just play them bcs im bored but the game story and plot line is so good! My favourite so far is Marco and I'm loving it
In real life time it'll be several months from now at the earliest, unfortunately. But in game it won't take too long once that part is actually created. I was originally planning for it to come later in the game, but I did some galleries of Will hooking up for Patreon, and after seeing how those turned out I realized I didn't want to wait too long to make him a hookup option in the actual game haha
I've already developed an unhealthy obsession with this game and the characters specially Marco! I need moreee. Literally can't wait. Hoping once I solve some card issues I will hop on and support you on patreon because this is awesomee. *waits like a maniac for more*
Cool game that you made there. Im usually playing games that are already finished. But this waiting for updates is way more cool. Keep up the good work with graphics.
Also I read a comment about asking for a Discord Server where you answered with "I MAY make one in the future" Why only may?
I don't really know what a Discord server for an ongoing project like this would look like, so I'll need to check out some servers for other games to see how it might be set up. So it'll depend on when I have time to do that. I'll try and look into that soon!
Is this game safe? I used VirusTotal to scan it and it said there was a trojan. Based on the comments, I assume its a false positive but I just wanted to be sure
I just did some googling to see what caused this. I use a program called Ren'Py to create the game, and I found a relatively recent thread about someone else getting a VirusTotal false positive on their visual novel. The thread said it's due to an extraneous 32-bit version of the game being in the download folder:
So it could be that or another reason. The game should be safe to download, but you could do a Google search for Ren'Py games and VirusTotal/other malware scans to see other opinions on what's causing it.
Not yet. I will add sound & music at some point, but we're still pretty early in development and the focus is on art & writing right now. I'm glad you love the game, though :)
This game is sooo goood!!!! The characters design is just chef's kiss especially Marco . Though Im kinda struggling to get the 5th and 7th Cg of Marco do anybody knows how to unlock this?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) To get those CGs, you need to take Matt to orientation with you. At the start of the game when Matt asks if you want to go to his apartment, head there with him and then take him up on his offer to come to orientation. Those two Marco CGs pop up after you return to your dorm room once orientation ends, you just need to play through to the shower sequence :)
I love the way you guys approach sexuality in such a mature and consistent way. Some conversations in the game put me in conflict with some thoughts I had and made me remember old experiences, it was really good to play this visual novel and identify so much with some themes. The character design is fabulous, the protagonist is so beautiful, just like the other characters I hope to see more updates soon as this is definitely one of my favorites.
I'm loving the game so far and I find every single character unique and sexy in their own way. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm just getting a little frustrated because I've tried many times and many different ways and I can't get the first CG in duos & trios. A little help?
I'm glad you're enjoying the game :) For that CG, you need to do the following:
- Pick "He got so hot!" when you first meet Matt
- Choose to go to Matt's apartment instead of to your dorm room
- Pick "Holy fuck, boy!" when you first meet Leo
- Play through to the end of Day 1
- During the fantasy sequence after orientation, pick "My mind's wandering to Matt's place..." and one of the options should be "Matt and Leo had to have hooked up..."
That will unclock that CG. There are a few chances to have Connor express his attraction to either guy aside from the choices above, so as long as Connor actually meets Leo and you had Connor think both he & Matt were hot, you should get it :)
i noticed that it have flip fuck choice when conner meet will. So i guess we will have flip fuck choice when the real sex come too? is all of Character have this choice? I highly waiting for it haha
There are a few characters that are strict in their positions, but most are versatile. As Connor becomes more experienced, you'll be able to choose whether you want to be a top, bottom, verse, or side.

What program is used to create the characters? etc. Thinking of making something of my own with my hubby xD
I use Daz 3D to make the characters and do the 3D renders, then I post-process the images in GIMP. Programming is done using Ren'Py :)
Awesome Thank you for the info! Great game too btw ;)
You're welcome, and thank you!
will there be an android version?
I will do an Android version at some point, but I don't know when. I think there are either emulators or sites that already made an Android version if you look, though.

Hi, I came across this game and I have to say that it's absolutely amazing.
The characters are all handsome and hot, but Matt is one the best character I've ever seen. Beautiful job, I love him ❤
I hope to see an even more different relationship with Matt, maybe something sensual, something about the emotions and building attraction.
Please, support this awesome developer.
Thank you for the great job again. Take good care of you 😊
Thank you so much!
The Matt route is gonna be interesting for sure. Matt has personal motivations and unresolved feelings that will lead to him making choices that I don't think you guys as players will expect.

Love the game so much!!! Gl with the updates :)
So glad to hear it!
Wow, love this game so much. Wish u luck! :)
Thank you! :)
Will there be a Android version?
You can play on Android by installing joiplay and it's ren'py plugin. Then yo u select the .exe from the app and play
I'ma little confused, I'm sorry to ask but how do u get the .exe from the app?
If you dowloaded the joiplay app and the ren'py plugin and the game for Windows, then you want to open joiplay and click on the +, it'll ask you the name, the version and the location of the game on your device, you then search the folder where you dowloaded the game from the app until you click the exe and then 'choose'
thx u! I'll try it out, does this work for every game or just this one?

Thank you!
Hey! Who's your favourite character so far?(most physically attractive in your opinion)
This is a hard question because I love all my guys, haha.
If I had to choose who I think is most attractive... maybe Owen or Marco. But I also just wrote scenes featuring them earlier today, so that's probably influencing my choice. ;)
Connor's brother is also pretty hot, but it'll be a little while before you can meet him in-game...
I hope you have some incest content planned for down-the-line.
Heyy!!
Loved the vn!! Great work man! I'd definitely like to be your patreon someday! You're doing this alone? It must be so much work! I'm learning CGI and coding too as a CST student. Maybe we could collab someday in the future💖
Aside from that, I have some CC.

+Could we get some back views for future CGIs,
Ds are ok but I really wanna see Matt's back and you know *cough cough
How long have you been working on this?
You're doing modelling, rigging, shading, everything?
My favourite is definitely Matt so far. I'm in love with him! Would love more of his scenes 💖
Hey there, I'm glad you're loving it. I am indeed making this game solo, and yes, it's a lot of work :)

Yes! I love it!C
an't wait for the next release!
If you don't mind...where did you buy the assets? Did you buy the full models? How long did it take for you to re-render/ upgrade the purchased models? I really want to start learning to make stuff like this! Sorry to bother you so much..
I mentioned in another reply that I use Daz 3D for the renders. I buy the majority of my assets from their store, everything from figure models to environments to props. The adult assets all come from Renderotica.

I want all my skin textures to reach a certain quality level, so often I'll use/edit a base figure asset and then apply the skin from another figure, including sometimes female model textures. I also change the eye textures to be more realistic, and when I give them hair I often retexture it as well with a more natural shader. And then there's adding the dicks—making sure the skin color works, editing the shape so no two dicks are alike, adding pubes...
Some figures take very little time to create, particularly if they're more or less ready to use straight from the box, as it were. But for most figures I spend a lot of time reiterating before I'm happy. The early models like Connor, Marco, Matt, Riley, and Leo went through a lot of versions before they were done. But even new characters, like the 14 new side characters who'll pop up during the frat party, still take quite a bit of time to make. That's just me being nitpicky however ;)
Now, you definitely do not need to do all this. I'm just going for a specific visual style. You could 100% buy a figure model (only on sale, never buy full price!), add a hair asset, and add clothes, and then you'll be set. But the above it is the basics of what I personally do :)
dude thanks for actually taking out so much of your time to help me! Thank you man!!
You're welcome! :)
Have you unzipped the file? If you're on Windows, you should be able to right click on it and then select one of the extract options, which will create a normal folder that you can open. Inside that folder will be the exe file. There's probably a similar unzip functionality on other operating systems if you're not using Windows.
Thanks, I think the file got corrupted in the first download. I redownloaded it and found the exe file. <3
So glad to hear it!
Hey Danny,
First of all, I wanted to congratulate you for creating such a great game. I really love it and am obsessed right now. Secondly, I wanted to ask you something regarding your Patreon. I would like to subscribe to it as soon as I have some money :D Do I get access to all the earlier released galleries and posts or not because I would really like to see every content you have released until now. :)
Keep up the good work!
Best
Namshin <3
Thank you, I'm so glad you've been enjoying it! And yes, you get access to every post available to your patron tier when you join Patreon. Nothing is locked by month. You'll be able to see all the monthly galleries back to the beginning if you join as a Sophomore, and also all the bonus galleries if you join as a Junior, Senior, or Graduate. :)
Hi! This is such a great game, it’s probably one of my fav visual novels I’ve played! I was just wondering if you could give on some insight on how I could completely reset my progress in the game. I haven’t played the last two updates and would like to start over since it’s been a few months since I last played. I’m on Windows. Thank you!
I'm glad you've been enjoying the game! The easiest way would be to start a new game by clicking "Start" on the main menu. All choices will be reset for a new game, so nothing you've done in prior playthroughs will affect your new game. The only data that is permanently unlocked during a playthrough are the gallery images, and the game will let you skip through any dialogue you've read in the past.
If you want to 100% delete all of your old saved data and reset the gallery to have all images locked again, you can do this:
1) Use File Explorer to locate AppData\Roaming\RenPy\FreshmenPhysicalEducation. The full path usually begins with something like C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\[etc.] but could be different based on your computer setup.
1b) By default the AppData folder is hidden. If you get into C:\Users\[user name] and don't see that folder, click "View" at the top of the window, and then in the Show/Hide section make sure "Hidden items" is checked.
2) Delete everything in the FreshmenPhysicalEducation folder.
3) Open the folder where the game is stored (the latest version is stored in a folder called "FreshmenPhysicalEducation-0.1.3-pc" unless you changed the name).
4) Open the "game" folder, then open the "saves" folder.
5) Delete everything in the "saves" folder.
That should do a complete reset, but let me know if you have any trouble!
Hi again! Thank you so much for your help, it worked!! I’ve also tried to do this with other games as well but I never truly knew how to do it until now. I look forward to the new updates coming up :)
You're welcome, I'm happy this helped!
In looking at my Gallery, even before this most recent update, I am missing soo many CGs. Does anyone have a walkthrough yet on how to acquire them all? Such as I am missing the last one or two on almost everyone, have yet to meet Griffin, and three from Duos and Trios.
I am going through it again to see if there are any conversations I haven't answered a certain way but any help would be great :)
I haven't written a CG unlock guide, but I can point you in the right direction. For Griffin, go hang out with Asher at the club when you pick who you want to talk to after Will's class. That choice will also unlock CGs for Asher and Mafia/NC17. For the duos & trios, you need to have expressed attraction to everyone included in those CGs for you to be able to unlock them. The options to unlock them are during the fantasy sequence after orientation, so before then make sure you picked a "he's hot" choice for the guys in these groupings: Matt/Leo, Owen/Julian, Will/Tomas, and Asher/Mafia/NC17.
The last images for everyone else are either unlocked during the fantasy sequence after orientation (so just pick their option there) or during one of the hangout sessions after Will's class if they're one of the eight hangout options (Alex, Asher, Dominic, Isaiah, Marco, Matt, Owen, & Riley). Those hangouts have two CGs each for all eight guys.
Hope that helps you track them down! If there are any others missing, let me know the character and where on the grid the missing image is and I can tell you how to unlock it.
THANK YOU! That got almost all of them unlocked for me. For some reason I didn't even go down the path of texting people. The only two I am missing now are CG 2 of 2 of Leo carrying me and the CG of Matt inbetween awake leaning against me and passed out leaning against me
You're welcome!
Leo: The order changes based on what's already unlocked, so I'll tell you both. For both CGs, get completely drunk by accepting & drinking everything offered. There's one CG for reaching out for him and another CG for letting him pass by.
Matt: Go hang out with Matt after Will's class in the afternoon (Text someone > Matt). During that hangout, proposition him without trying to play it off. This will add an additional CG for the evening hangout after you nudge his knee.

Thank you! This is a choice flag error that pops up for some saves, though I'm not entirely sure why. I thought I fixed it, but I'll have to do some more research to figure out why it's still happening to some people. In the meantime, getting to the new content will require starting from the beginning or you can try loading an earlier save if you have one. Using skip will hopefully make it pretty quick to get to the new stuff. Sorry for the hassle!
Thanks so much! Still new to this VN stuff but l really love this one. The art is terrific and the characters are so diverse, the variety is great. Thanks again
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Would you like us to continue posting the File Errors we receive that might be different from those posted above?
And thank you fo the update... this seems to be a fantastic addition to the story. I am unable to get past Matt being asleep and Leo walking past "eye level" without the game crashing each time
Sure, that would be helpful. If it says "NameError: name [something] is not defined," the only fix I know of for now is to start a new game from the beginning. I would also be curious to know the point you made the save that you loaded since I'm not sure why this is only happening to a few people (as far as I know).
I started over and did not get any errors... fantastic scenes by the way... WOOF! I had started initially with a save talking to Riley and in thinking back, this save I don't believe I actually ever went over to Matt and Leo's initially and had bailed on saying I would go to Matt's to go with Riley instead. Without those links could that have caused the errors?
I'm glad you enjoyed the scenes :)
I'm not entirely sure yet what caused the error screen, but it could possibly be due to the save being made after you picked who to hang out with for the evening. I'm recommending making a save before picking whether to spend the evening at Matt's place, the party, or the club, although I'm not entirely sure if that's what caused the issue. Thank you for that detail, though, that'll help guide me as I figure out a fix! :)
Hey guys, little help please. So l keep getting error messages with this build. I click ignore and the game crashes. I even re-downloaded it again and same thing. Anybody else having trouble or do l just not know what l am doing? Thanks
If there's a full screen error message in the game itself, can you tell me what the error message(s) say? Just the stuff under "While running game code". That'll help me see what's up. If it's some sort of PC pop-up I'll be curious to know what it says as well...
If you haven't already, you could also try doing a speedrun from the beginning using the skip feature, which usually fixes it if it's some sort of choice flag issue. Sometimes the saves don't play nicely with new updates, which unfortunately can happen with an in-development game like this.
Ugh i can't wait for the Update. WHY do the last few days always feel so much longer than the weeks before??
The wait is finally over :)
question will there be dramaaa?? especially in the green shirt hornet guy route?
Yes!
The story is so complex and deep! Also the textures on the CGIs are perfect! I often felt watching a TV show with real guys. The quality is extremely high! 11 out of 10!! You are making a peace of art! Looking foward for the next parts.
Thank you so much! :)
I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but there's suppose to be another hookup guy coming eventually right? Making it 9 romanceable guys and 8 hookup onlys? (wondering if I'm mixing the numbers up with another game I'm following)
I think you are indeed remembering this game, but the numbers are slightly off since I think Connor got added to that tally. I'm pretty sure I must have said the wrong number at some point because I almost did it again when writing this response!
So to clarify: There are 16 main guys in total, not including the PC. Of those 16 guys, 8 you can romance and/or have a fuck buddy relationship with, 1 is romance only, and 7 are hookup only.
All 16 guys have been introduced as of the most recent public release. In alphabetical order:
Alex (streamer)
Asher (musician)
Dominic (British voice actor)
Evan (classmate)
Griffin (bartender)
Isaiah (dancer)
Julian (frat guy)
Leo (best friend's roommate)
Mafia (muscly band member)
Marco (roommate)
Matt (best friend)
NC17 (slender band member)
Owen (hippie)
Riley (RA)
Tomas (quiet professor)
Will (mentor professor)
I'll add that I've been making some new minor characters for an upcoming release, and after seeing how their character designs came out I may very well add more hookups throughout the game so I have an excuse to get them naked ;)
Thanks for the response. I honestly thought I was gaslighting myself. And I'm excited to meet the new characters. I'm sure they'll be great additions to the story.
The story is great so far and all of the characters are very interesting. I'm looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! :)
Are there plans to port this unto android?
Yes, I plan to do this at some point, but I don't currently have an ETA.
I just downloaded and played and i’m already obsessed….. my favs are riley and marco so far and even though i can’t financially support you i’m still sending out love that you can finish this amazing project🤍 also when more of this comes out do you have plans to make us pay for it or…..
So glad you like it! Right now the game is being funded just by Patreon. I don't really have plans beyond that at the moment except eventually selling the game as a complete package once it's completely done (which will be quite a ways away from now).
Due to the costs involved in making this game, I may need to change this funding model at some point, but you can expect at least the next several updates for free.
ok that’s perfectly reasonable thanks so much! just hope i can get through majority of the game before i have to pay but i completely understand!
Are we going to get an Evan path? I really love how much of a klutz he is.
You can definitely spend time with Evan throughout the game, but I don't currently have a full romance path planned for him. I *may* add a romance path for him in the future, but for now I've limited the romances to 9 of the guys. But all of the main guys have storylines regardless if they are romanceable or not. I was just outlining some Evan content for the upcoming frat party, in fact :)
I am actually loving this game, usually I just play them bcs im bored but the game story and plot line is so good! My favourite so far is Marco and I'm loving it
Thank you so much!
I am loving it so far! Will is my favourite, when do you think we will be able to fuck him for real?
In real life time it'll be several months from now at the earliest, unfortunately. But in game it won't take too long once that part is actually created. I was originally planning for it to come later in the game, but I did some galleries of Will hooking up for Patreon, and after seeing how those turned out I realized I didn't want to wait too long to make him a hookup option in the actual game haha
I'm glad you're loving it!
Can't wait for it! We will be able to top him right?
Yup! :)
I've already developed an unhealthy obsession with this game and the characters specially Marco! I need moreee. Literally can't wait. Hoping once I solve some card issues I will hop on and support you on patreon because this is awesomee. *waits like a maniac for more*
I'm so glad to hear it! I outlined some really fun stuff for Marco coming soon that I think you'll enjoy :)
I want to Android download it game pls
You can download joiplay on play store
Where ?
Play store bro
Cool game that you made there. Im usually playing games that are already finished. But this waiting for updates is way more cool. Keep up the good work with graphics.
Also I read a comment about asking for a Discord Server where you answered with "I MAY make one in the future" Why only may?
I'm glad you're enjoying the game :)
I don't really know what a Discord server for an ongoing project like this would look like, so I'll need to check out some servers for other games to see how it might be set up. So it'll depend on when I have time to do that. I'll try and look into that soon!
I think i'll just make one for you and you can reply to me so i can send you the link. You dont have to ill make the server anyways ;)
Is this game safe? I used VirusTotal to scan it and it said there was a trojan. Based on the comments, I assume its a false positive but I just wanted to be sure
I just did some googling to see what caused this. I use a program called Ren'Py to create the game, and I found a relatively recent thread about someone else getting a VirusTotal false positive on their visual novel. The thread said it's due to an extraneous 32-bit version of the game being in the download folder:
https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61332
So it could be that or another reason. The game should be safe to download, but you could do a Google search for Ren'Py games and VirusTotal/other malware scans to see other opinions on what's causing it.
i love the game but is their supposed to be sound
Not yet. I will add sound & music at some point, but we're still pretty early in development and the focus is on art & writing right now. I'm glad you love the game, though :)
This game is sooo goood!!!! The characters design is just chef's kiss especially Marco . Though Im kinda struggling to get the 5th and 7th Cg of Marco do anybody knows how to unlock this?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) To get those CGs, you need to take Matt to orientation with you. At the start of the game when Matt asks if you want to go to his apartment, head there with him and then take him up on his offer to come to orientation. Those two Marco CGs pop up after you return to your dorm room once orientation ends, you just need to play through to the shower sequence :)
is there a discord?
No, there currently isn't a Discord, but I may make one in the future
I love the way you guys approach sexuality in such a mature and consistent way. Some conversations in the game put me in conflict with some thoughts I had and made me remember old experiences, it was really good to play this visual novel and identify so much with some themes. The character design is fabulous, the protagonist is so beautiful, just like the other characters I hope to see more updates soon as this is definitely one of my favorites.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you find the writing compelling :)
Looks a great story. Sad there is no android version. I wouldn't mind paying for such a novel 😓
I'm loving the game so far and I find every single character unique and sexy in their own way. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm just getting a little frustrated because I've tried many times and many different ways and I can't get the first CG in duos & trios. A little help?
I'm glad you're enjoying the game :) For that CG, you need to do the following:
- Pick "He got so hot!" when you first meet Matt
- Choose to go to Matt's apartment instead of to your dorm room
- Pick "Holy fuck, boy!" when you first meet Leo
- Play through to the end of Day 1
- During the fantasy sequence after orientation, pick "My mind's wandering to Matt's place..." and one of the options should be "Matt and Leo had to have hooked up..."
That will unclock that CG. There are a few chances to have Connor express his attraction to either guy aside from the choices above, so as long as Connor actually meets Leo and you had Connor think both he & Matt were hot, you should get it :)
I can't believe I never tried that. I feel so dumb right now. Thanks, man :)
i noticed that it have flip fuck choice when conner meet will. So i guess we will have flip fuck choice when the real sex come too? is all of Character have this choice? I highly waiting for it haha
There are a few characters that are strict in their positions, but most are versatile. As Connor becomes more experienced, you'll be able to choose whether you want to be a top, bottom, verse, or side.
