It's surprising that it worked before since I've only ever uploaded zip files here. As far as I was aware the files could never be downloaded via the app because it has to be done a certain way that I haven't figured out yet. I'll look into it...
Very weird! Well, I'm glad it was working before, the app does make it pretty easy to download and play. I'll see if I can figure out how to get it working again!
Hello! Following up - I was able to figure out the issue with the Itch app. Somehow I forgot to mark that this had a Windows executable, which is why the app wouldn't download it. It should be fixed now 🙂
Sure, it's actually just one CG that's repeated in their galleries since all three are in it. During orientation, you need to express attraction to all three guys. When you meet Asher, select "That look of contemplation is kind of hot." When NC17 & Mafia are introduced, select "Fuck, they both can get it!" Once you've done that, skip ahead to the jerkoff sequence after Connor & Marco takes a shower. Select "Those band guys seem like they can get freaky..." and then "There's no way three hot bandmates haven't fucked..." That'll unlock the CG 🙂
Okay I-...what? I tried this out on a whim, NOT expecting the writing to be this good. I actually care about the characters and story arcs, and not just for sexy reasons? How'd you do that? XD
Also, I love pretty much all the boys so far, but lord have mercy! Alex has got my brain doing all sorts of flips. A smug, cocky gamer twink who, despite all his confidence and success, is actually a pretty stand up guy? Throw on top of that being possibly a verse switch and DEFINITELY a voyeur? My horny man brain...! Can't wait to spend more time with his perfectness!
Thank you! I am actually looking into adding music for the club update, but unfortunately most of the places where I'd get music don't allow their music in adult games. I'm looking into other places but haven't found any music I like yet. But I'm working on it for sure 🙂
Hi, i love the game. Just a question. Anyone knows how to unlock the first cg in the four row for Marco? I replayed but i cant seem to pick it. Thanks in advance.
Head to Matt's apartment instead of the frat party, then choose to head home early when they ask you to take your shirt off. That CG pops up when you get back to your dorm room 🙂
Hang out with Marco in the afternoon after Will's class, then choose to go to the frat party with Marco when you get to that choice. Marco will say he's taking a shower first - if you join him, you'll get that CG.
Omg, I love this update! I've been on Team Matt since the get-go and I still feel like he's endgame, but... Owen and Riley are winning me over right now!
Can't wait for the rest of the guys, especially Asher and Isaiah, as well as Connor's story fleshing out more. This is truly one of my fave VNs!!! 💕
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And also glad some of the other guys are winning you over. I want to make the endgame romance choice difficult for you guys 😉
Thank you for the reminder about the app, I'll look into how to make the game downloadable through it. Regarding no sound, the game is still early in development and does not have sound or music added yet. So that's normal and nothing to worry about.
this is such a good game, love how many options we have and I enjoy that although it's still very sexual we also have some history with the characters. Leo is my favorite so far but I was wondering, all the men will be vers and you will be able to choose or are they going to have their preferences?
Hello! Yes, it's normal. The game doesn't have sound or music added yet. I'm focusing on the writing & art at this point in development, but I do plan to add music & sound before too long.
I haven't even gotten through all the recent update yet but I have to say again how great the writing is. I could gush about this game for hours. Have you ever thought of making a discord because I'd love to talk to others about the characters and routes.
Thank you, that's so nice to read! And I've thought of making a Discord for sure, I'm just a little wary of needing to moderate it in addition to everything else I'm doing solo. I also floated the idea of a server on Patreon and didn't really get a response. But if enough people are interested and promise to be nice, I might go ahead and do one, haha
I think having a discord is a really interesting idea to talk with everyone about the game. I really like where this is going and would definitely join the discord so I can talk all about my love for the characters and the game.
The game is still being developed, so the full game won't be done for awhile. The most current free version is what's linked here on itch.io, and the most recent early access version is available on Patreon: patreon.com/FreshmenVN
how many guys can you hookup with in the current version? I'm assuming only leo since he's the only one with lots of pics in the gallery but is there more? also, this game is perfect and congratulate the dev on making it.
In the current public release, the only hookup option is Leo. The next release will be the frat party, which will add two more hookup options. The release after that will be the club, which will add three more.
I'm just about done with the frat party update, so it'll go into early access pretty soon. I'm creating the hookup CGs right now, and there are a lot to make 🙂 I put a preview of one of the CGs on Twitter—you can probably guess who one of the hookups is even with it being cropped & censored...
Not yet, but I started writing an official CG unlock & relationship guide to coincide with the next release. I don't know if anyone else has already created an unofficial guide.
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.

i want to download it but i cant im on android
There isn't currently an Android version of the game. Right now it's just for desktop PCs and Macs.
can you help me unlock the 3rd CG of Asher? Also the 3rd CG of Mafia and NC17? Thanks
Sure, it's actually just one CG that's repeated in their galleries since all three are in it. During orientation, you need to express attraction to all three guys. When you meet Asher, select "That look of contemplation is kind of hot." When NC17 & Mafia are introduced, select "Fuck, they both can get it!"

oh thanks that was hard to unlock

Bless you for making such a damn good game. T///T
Wow, thank you for all the kind words! I'm so glad you've been enjoying it.
The next update will have a whole lot of Alex content, so you won't need to wait too much longer to get some more cocky gamer twink action 🙂
such a great game, deserves more attention! maybe add some bg music right now since voice lines havent been added in yet? <3
Thank you! I am actually looking into adding music for the club update, but unfortunately most of the places where I'd get music don't allow their music in adult games. I'm looking into other places but haven't found any music I like yet. But I'm working on it for sure 🙂
Awh okay, got it! Good luck on finding some music!! <3
Hi, i love the game. Just a question. Anyone knows how to unlock the first cg in the four row for Marco? I replayed but i cant seem to pick it. Thanks in advance.
Head to Matt's apartment instead of the frat party, then choose to head home early when they ask you to take your shirt off. That CG pops up when you get back to your dorm room 🙂
I seem to be missing the last Marco CG on the third row... any pointers on how to unlock?
Hang out with Marco in the afternoon after Will's class, then choose to go to the frat party with Marco when you get to that choice. Marco will say he's taking a shower first - if you join him, you'll get that CG.
Brilliant... thank you... all CGs unlocked ;)
This was a fantastic update... thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for what comes next!
Thank you!
ok question, julian isnt a bottom right?
He's verse, so you can choose what position you want him to take if you get an opportunity to ask.
Omg, I love this update! I've been on Team Matt since the get-go and I still feel like he's endgame, but... Owen and Riley are winning me over right now!
Can't wait for the rest of the guys, especially Asher and Isaiah, as well as Connor's story fleshing out more. This is truly one of my fave VNs!!! 💕
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And also glad some of the other guys are winning you over. I want to make the endgame romance choice difficult for you guys 😉
does not dl via itch ap, and when installed, has no sound
Thank you for the reminder about the app, I'll look into how to make the game downloadable through it. Regarding no sound, the game is still early in development and does not have sound or music added yet. So that's normal and nothing to worry about.
ahh. ok then no worries about the sound. whew! still liking the game mate.
Sounds like the story is relatable... to some extent
this is such a good game, love how many options we have and I enjoy that although it's still very sexual we also have some history with the characters. Leo is my favorite so far but I was wondering, all the men will be vers and you will be able to choose or are they going to have their preferences?
They do all have their own preferences, but for all but 2 guys, those preferences include being verse. So you'll be able to choose!
And even with the two who have a strict position, you'll be able to do some top/bottom-adjacent stuff with 🙂
Great game. I'm looking forward to play the rest of it :)
Thank you! Only a few days until the next part is out 🙂
Awesome! :D
Hi
I have a question when I play this game
I can't hear any sounds on my Mac
Even If it's a shower scene, there's no sound Is it normal ?
I checked options beforehand but it didn't work
Thanks
Hello! Yes, it's normal. The game doesn't have sound or music added yet. I'm focusing on the writing & art at this point in development, but I do plan to add music & sound before too long.
I haven't even gotten through all the recent update yet but I have to say again how great the writing is. I could gush about this game for hours. Have you ever thought of making a discord because I'd love to talk to others about the characters and routes.
Thank you, that's so nice to read! And I've thought of making a Discord for sure, I'm just a little wary of needing to moderate it in addition to everything else I'm doing solo. I also floated the idea of a server on Patreon and didn't really get a response. But if enough people are interested and promise to be nice, I might go ahead and do one, haha
I think having a discord is a really interesting idea to talk with everyone about the game. I really like where this is going and would definitely join the discord so I can talk all about my love for the characters and the game.
Hi, I don't know if it's only me... but I cannot find this game when search the title on itch T T
Hello, I would like to have a link for the complete game..where to find it?
The game is still being developed, so the full game won't be done for awhile. The most current free version is what's linked here on itch.io, and the most recent early access version is available on Patreon: patreon.com/FreshmenVN
I really love this game, one of my favorites.
Thank you!
do you mind telling me what you use to create your visual novels? cause i want to create my own but can't figure it out
Sure, I use Daz 3D to make the art and Ren'Py to create the game itself.
Thank you!!
how many guys can you hookup with in the current version? I'm assuming only leo since he's the only one with lots of pics in the gallery but is there more? also, this game is perfect and congratulate the dev on making it.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the game :)
In the current public release, the only hookup option is Leo. The next release will be the frat party, which will add two more hookup options. The release after that will be the club, which will add three more.
I'm just about done with the frat party update, so it'll go into early access pretty soon. I'm creating the hookup CGs right now, and there are a lot to make 🙂 I put a preview of one of the CGs on Twitter—you can probably guess who one of the hookups is even with it being cropped & censored...
https://twitter.com/FreshmenVN/status/1582911327575887873
is there a guide out for this game to help navigate through potentionel favorite love intrests ?
Not yet, but I started writing an official CG unlock & relationship guide to coincide with the next release. I don't know if anyone else has already created an unofficial guide.
i just think with so many charecters it's a good idea to have so was curious thanks for the reply and i'm looking forward to the updates :)
I've been working on one for a while. Not sure if it'll be useful to you, though. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o6VFK12N3ZITRa6Ln3ZJA0IBT5E6vHG2QCVBebPKTBI/edit?usp=sharing
This is super impressive and definitely useful!
Thank you sooo much for this!!!😊
No prob, it was fun to make. 😄
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 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.

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!
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. 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!
Thank you! It's definitely a big task, but I think I'm up to it 🙂
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?
Hey! Love your content!
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:

Hope that helps!
Thank you so much!! Love ya bro
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!
Really enjoying the game so far, especially the way you make the choices feel like they really matter.
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 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
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 :)
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 :)
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 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 :)
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.
File "game/scriptD2.rpy",line24973, in script if mattapt_first_drink_d2:
File "game/scriptD2.rpy"line 24937,in <module> if mattapt_first_drink_d2:

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 :)
