Yes. Yes. And yes!!! The game so WORTH IT! I haven't seen anyone praise the plot. I like how the plot works OP. But i'll be frank, the last part feels rush? I feel like it could go a little bit more, she still haven't open much about her family and her history. I get it that it's demo and I'm just making recommendation. Can't wait for the official game version to be release, and if you like Teaching Feelings, this game has that vibe. HIGHLY Recommended playing this game
So pleased to see you back, I hope the troubles you have mentioned in the past have gone away. They sounded pretty serious, so I am surprised and delighted to see you back. Good effort too, given you are likely working on your own, with less than ideal conditions. Couple of comments intended in the spirit of making what a game with great potential even better:
There are cases where the segment of the day indicator (eg, evening) gets confused with the time of day, eg 20:00, so it is supposed to be 8PM, but the game tells me it is midnight and Fuyuka is sleeping. She should not be sleeping at 8M but instead leaning aginst the door near the kitchen entrance where she usually sits waiting for chat or head pats. This inhibits headpats as she is asleep instead and the game admonishes the MC for not head patting her. Slows progress for no reason and is confusing. Maybe your code is looking at the wrong variable?
Events sometimes turn up as a bit of a shock. For example, the presentation of the apartment key just kind of happens and interrupts the flow of the game. I understand it is a required step to progress, but a bit better integration to the rest of the game flow would help.
Same goes for dating Fuyuka. It is a welcome development, but it comes from nowhere at a random time, and in my case the "Date Fukuya" option was revealed at 9PM on a game" Friday night". Nice reveal and we can feel a bit of her heart melt by the way, so not at all bad in that way, but the timing and introduction feels clumsy.
Now I don't know where this goes eventually, but the only place to take her at the start of dating is the park. And no self-respecting MC is going to take his favourite girl to the park at 9PM to watch sparrows that are in the trees asleep for the night. How about showing the dating option only at appropriate times, say like on weekends day time?
Also the dating option icon overlaps the icon for head pats and it is hard to head pat her as the interface interprets it as a date request. Moving the icons apart would help.
Finally I was too busy dating her and missed the fact that I could not afford the rental payment and was subjected to the sudden death end "Expensive girl" or something similar. Now many games have such sudden death features and I would have to say I hate every single one of them. Developers may think they are dramatic and wonderful, but as a player they are a classic pain. If you have spent significant time grinding away at progress and miss just one critical point through inattention to saving, hours of play are lost and must be repeated for no gain.
If you must have fatal outcomes that terminate the game, at least warn the player or autosave somehow so hours of grinding are not lost. This game involves a lot of grinding to make what seems like precious little progress at times, and if you don't happen to be a diligent saver of the game getting a dead halt that is irreversible is downright annoying.
I do understand that saving is a user responsibility, but my most precious commodity is time and losing it to an arbitrary Developer decision to terminate a game without any recourse is downright irksome. Sufficiently irked players drop games and never come back. Perhaps consider an option to turn dead stops off?
It is one thing if a player chooses to replay a game knowing the grinding cost, but is downright rude of a Developer to make the decision for a player about how they are to use their time. Understand clearly, repetitious grinding might be good to string a game out but it is NOT entertainment.
Anyway, enough whinging, good job and significantly better than demo 1, I look forward to future updates.
Soo....It me again with another KICKSTARTER NEWS from dev
Let see what we got
quick update 2 (*NSFW*) KumonosuGameCreator January 6, 2022
About the game
The game is not dead, I am still working on it! I am learning video editing and rewriting some of the game code(Still regretting not pick unity for game engine instead of Renpy). Because I am no expect on video editing, so a lot of try and error for this part. In total there are around 200 short animation to edit, I am at the speed of 20-30 a day. Here are some of the edited animation.
( I want to post the video but....No spoiler I guess )
I plan to release a updated vision of the game next week, I will let you guys know where to download once it's ready.
About me
I am moving again soon, this time to a seaside city. That's why I quit my job recently and finally have time to work on the game again. I thought I can work full time while making game, which is too naive of me. I'm too occupied by a lot of tedious things, I wish I can have more time and space for what I really want to do in my life. But I guess I cant tell my family I am making H game and don't want to go to work, haha... After I move to the new house, I will have some time to settle down before I have to find another new job. Hopefully I can finish the game during this period of time. Once again, thank you all backers for your patience. The game should be finished years before, I am truly sorry for all the delays and troubles. It's a bit late but Happy new year! I am sure things will get better this year!
Its a bit of a mystery, it seems like the dev was never all that active, taking months between social media updates.
The dev said they were working on a major update to the game itself and that it would take a very long time. But that was around 6months ago. But before that it was 6months before their last major post, and ~4months before the major post before that. There are some that hold hope, other's that are pretty sure he got his kickstarter money 6months ago and ran.
Wait, this is just a wholesome game Aww, I was hopping this give the choice to be a dick that abuse and there will be non-con. Warning: I don't support bad behavior in real life it's a turn on when I play hentai games... it's fiction.
Can anyone give me a walkthrough or any numbers on how this is supposed to work? I am well into the say 20s and she has almost no dialog options and I can't give her gifts. She sleeps at my house every night and I give her head pats every day, often multiple times a day. Is progression just this slow?
did I reach the end, or doing something wrong? I got " an item for foyuka " but can't give it to her, im on day 53, nothing happens, already brought and gave her all cloths
For someone that curious about what happen to the game Then this is an answer for ya

This is my to-do list of the game, I am working at movie editing now, adding sound to all the animated sex scene.
Basically all contents were added to the game, just need to edit it.
To be honest I underestimated the amount of work of this project, my inexperience is all to blame.
Thank you guys for your long patient to this project.

PS: I have been working a full time job at uk, it's physical labour so nothing special to talk about. It also surprised me that you have to pay that much for council tax and TV licence haha. In general I am getting used to the life here.
@Yosuba showed what's happening with the lack of updates; covid-19 have messed up a lot over the last 1.5 years and the stuff in Hong Kong isn't helping, so I really hope that the dev is okay. If there is any game on this site I am willing to pay for a full version, it is this one.
This is a little nitpick. As much as I wouldn't like to justify jumping in on a highschooler but the instincts choice between 'follow the instincts' and 'abide reason' took me out of the game. I typically go out and pick both routs on these sort of games (just to see where it leads) but why did the player character suddenly got struck with a severe case of D.I.D.? The attitude shift was too neck-breaking.
About what happened KumonosuGameCreator June 4, 2021 First of all I must apologize for unable to work on the game in the past 6 months. Last year a lot of things happened at the place I live and also to myself. I can't share the detail because I use my real name and passport on kickstarter. Please read this two news report and understand why. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-55357495 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/...came-one-territory-s-youngest-exiles-n1262601 Things are quite tough for me and my family now, I need some time to get back to normal, if that is even possible. The good news is I am picking up the development again very recently, although I can't work that much on it like before. I wouldn't give up on the project, this is what I started and I am funded by all of you. It is also very fun to make game. I am really sorry that I can't give you any time or date, but even it is bit by bit, I promise I will finish the game. Kumonosugame 05 June 2021 https://www.kickstarter.com/project...here-living-with-a-runaway-girl/posts/3210299
I played through the content you have so far and it looks great idk of you have cancelled the project or something came up but I just wanted to say I hope your doing well keep up the good work :)
I'd like to ask how you are KuMoNo :). I don't know what's going on right now but I just hope you're doing good. I know being quarantined is hard and I hope you're doing well, your game has been very amusing. Take your time releasing the update. Your health is more important. Goodluck on the update.
considering the Kickstarter has almost 2 times the money requested I'm sure that the dev is just expanding the game, and considering looking at all of the past updates a couple of months does seem to pass between them.
I think I got myself stuck in a loop? If I go to sleep without hetpating her, it says she looks lonely, but if I try to headpat her, she says no and seems to hate me even more? Is this as far as the game progresses?
question to everyone. im not sure whether or not im stuck but after the event on her asking for ''sex'' i declined but i had the options to do so afterwards. i've played until day 61(around 15 to 20 days after the event) and not a single thing has happend. i bought her everything and head patted her everyday. does this mean i've reached the end of the demo or are there more events that might show up. since there are alot of ''key items'' that i bought.
(I know this comment is very long. I didn't originaly intend for it to be this long, but I wanted to share my thoughts, ideas, and opinions.)
I love this game! It has a heart warming story that I'd love to see more of! (Though I am concerned with the "other voices" you hear outside your appartment on the last event of the demo. It makes me think that there's going to be some un-avoidable adult situations involving Fuyuka, I hope that's not the case...)
There are two things that would make this game an absalute must-have for me! (and another one I just thought would be nice to have the option.) (I'll have the example choices further down.)
The first being quite simple; an "age selection" that allows you to chose to be young(er) with a small opening choice. (the choice just changing some dialogue in the game, also on a side note, the character doesn't appear to be that old to begin with, mid to late 20's at worst by the looks of it.). My second thought being related to this one:
A new character that takes the role of the (character)'s lover (from high-school?). She could have a motherly role to Fuyuka ex, walking her to school, brushing her hair,. This character can also be absent or present based on your choices. (see examples below.)
These two ideas could be toggled in-game with two choices at the start of the game being.
I've been "Living alone..." or "Living with (her)..." ever since I graduated from high-school... this choice would change wether (she) appears in the game or not, while also opening a text box similar to name (her).
Edit: Alternativly, when Fuyuka asks if you have a lover or not, maybe you can chose "Yes" or "No"?
"and I've forgotten how many years it's been..." or "It's only been a couple of years since then." (this choice will simply change some dialogue with her as well as slightly altering her appearence ex, greying her hair slightly?)
Again, I know this is quite a long comment and that the likelyhood of these ideas (especially the second one) being used is slim at best but I just wanted to put the ideas out there.
If they're not taken into consideration, I understand, since it would more-than-likely require an extensive ammount of changes to the story, if not a complete re-write.
If the by some miracle are, then it would make me happy. (not to mention that, if I had the money to do so, I would not hesitate to pay a voice actress to play her if that's what it took.)
I'm also curious about how many people agree and/or dis-agree with me.

Thanks for your opinions and recommend the game!
I wish I can add more events about Fuyuka, but you know...everything's are tight, time and especially the budget...
Regarding about discord server. Do you have one that's available for everyone? In your kickstarter I only saw one (deleted) for kickstarter only.
P.S
I really want to share my idea, and get updates about the game too.

Regards and hope things go better for you.
Wow! Very Appreciated for your detailed comments and suggestions.
I'm pleased to know someone treat my game this seriously, also willing to share your thought to me.
I will look into the problem you have mentioned.
The price of the items, rents and salary were set as close as real life Tokyo, I guess that's mean the life of a poor part-time worker is very hard.
I didn't set the difficulty on purpose, but I will sure adjust the number setting later.
thank you for the update I hope all goes well for you in the future
Thanks for your kind words!

Still wait for something to change.....

man its been so long now that now i don't know if the dev is still working on it or corona hit him way to hard
I hope dev is not dead
I would like to play this game in its final form so I'm fine waiting for the update.
(Sweating with nervous anticipation)
When the world need him the most.
He disappeared
Well, dev did mention not wanting a rushed and unfinished game so let's be patient 'til then and hope for the best.
yo we still waiting ;;w;; hope it comes out soon
I think I got myself stuck in a loop? If I go to sleep without hetpating her, it says she looks lonely, but if I try to headpat her, she says no and seems to hate me even more? Is this as far as the game progresses?
i wonder if they will mention teaching feeling or one room as easter eggs
Take your time. Nothing bad about a few delays.
Still waiting ಥ‿ಥ
Yeah still waiting
question to everyone. im not sure whether or not im stuck but after the event on her asking for ''sex'' i declined but i had the options to do so afterwards. i've played until day 61(around 15 to 20 days after the event) and not a single thing has happend. i bought her everything and head patted her everyday. does this mean i've reached the end of the demo or are there more events that might show up. since there are alot of ''key items'' that i bought.
this is great my guy but can you tell is the completed version going to release before february
(I know this comment is very long. I didn't originaly intend for it to be this long, but I wanted to share my thoughts, ideas, and opinions.)
I love this game! It has a heart warming story that I'd love to see more of! (Though I am concerned with the "other voices" you hear outside your appartment on the last event of the demo.
