Very short (╥ ᴗ ╥)

You've just never dealt with the technical side of translation. To get Chinese working properly on the Ren'Py engine, you need a ton of dedicated styles for it. And that's just the start—I spent up to 4 days just tweaking the fonts so they wouldn't break the ENTIRE game, while Latin and Cyrillic don't need to be tweaked at all. 

And I'm not even mentioning the fact that the game sometimes uses custom fonts, which somehow have to be optimized and adapted for the Chinese fonts. 

Long story short, it all looks super easy and simple from the outside, but in practice, very few people are willing to spend that much time on it. Plus, let's not forget that Chinese is considered the HARDEST among popular languages. You can see the quality of machine translation yourself—it turns the game into one massive misunderstanding for a Chinese player. And indie devs DO NOT have the funds to hire proofreaders or pros. All we can hope for is that native speakers will offer to help out of the goodness of their hearts (like it happened with me and other devs).

Should I even mention that Chinese players are restricted by their financial systems? This means a project physically can't get funding from the Chinese audience (and if it can, it's only after a ton of fees and effort on the player's part).

Hope I shed some light on this and answered your question. Look at it from any angle, and the problems sometimes outweigh the practicality. So all hope rests on enthusiasts, and us devs just have to optimize the software so it doesn't break from hieroglyphs.

Ah
finally someone appreciates this beauty ヽ(￣ω￣(。。 )ゝ saki_saki helped me out with the opening and ending, so let's give a big shoutout to her (and me!!!). Here's the link to the opening: opening.mp3

If you happen to like it so much that you want to listen to the rest, the entire music library from the novel (including the opening and ending by saki_saki) is available on Patreon for $2.5, and you can download it all. Plus, it's an awesome way to support the project |･ω･)

Which song exactly are you talking about? There are only 2 vocal tracks (the opening and ending) and over 25 instrumentals

Very well
Take care yourself

Press Win + R, then copy and paste %APPDATA% into the window that pops up. Once the folder opens, look for the Renpy folder, and inside it, find all the folders I mentioned above and delete them. That’ll save you +-40 megabytes.

If you were thinking of just using Windows Search to track them down, I hate to break it to you, but File Explorer might not even show those folders, since AppData is hidden by default

P.S.

If you're talking about the actual game files (the ones you launch), you should search for them under the names TSITU or EOFA_ENG. You could also try Edges of Adulthood (in theory, at least, though I don't recall ever actually naming it that).

In this case, the standard Windows search will do the trick just fine

Do you mean PC version?

Thesubscriberistemporarilyunavailable-1729861782

TSITU-1729190575

TSITU-1729190705

These are all the directories the game has ever been named

P.S. The save files for the current version are in the same folder, but under the name EOFA

Version 0.2 doesn't exist yet. If you're referring to the original 0.2, there's a solid chance it will be heavily reworked

Chinese translation will appear in a little less than 2 weeks
An enthusiast is working on it right now

Just a heads-up: there are no H-scenes in this current part. Also, the story isn't written for those generic tropes like, 'Hero: I want your pussy — Heroine: Here, take my pussy.' The plot leans towards a romantic comedy with elements of drama. The explicit content is secondary and won't be happening anytime soon.

Yeah

I’d like to believe I haven’t just been stalling — I’ve been crafting Camembert. Not everyone is meant to get it

Glad to see you ( ・ω・)o-{{[〃]}}

No, I'm still working (╥ω╥)

Hi, over a month ago I contacted support (ticket #340199) to ask whether they could hold off on deducting funds that are about to become a year old. If I recall correctly, the itch.io agreement states that funds may be forfeited if they aren't withdrawn within a year

Hi, my dear! I'm glad you liked it.
Although I'm not fond of limiting the project with tags, I'll mention upfront that NTR (in the classical sense) is not present in the visual novel.
I suspect the "King's Game" scene may have confused you—in that scene, the protagonist seemingly hesitated and failed to protect the heroine because his relationship with her wasn't "warm" enough. However, if you previously expressed a desire to commit to her and she agreed, I recommend trusting her (•⩊•)
If, on the other hand, you expressed a wish not to tie yourself down with any commitments, or your relationship was so neutral that the topic never came up, there's a chance someone else might "capture" the heroine's heart (this, by the way, applies not only to Doriana) ╮(︶▽︶)╭
But as you understand, this is by no means NTR

Oh, great—so it’s not just me with this problem. Apparently, the site’s inbox is overflowing or something like that :

Hi dear
Right now, we’re deep in the remake process—meaning Update 0.3 hasn’t even started yet. As I mentioned recently on my Patreon page, unfortunately, the remake is taking longer than expected.

YAYAY

Apologies if the cover misled you. It was created more in a metaphorical style than as a reflection of the novel's actual content. In other words, the novel does not include mysticism, but it does feature science fiction. I will revise the cover in the next update to avoid any confusion

Hi! Thank you for the feedback—yes, these changes will be included in the remaster. If you have more ideas, feel free to share them! As it turns out, I don’t always notice everything ( ´ ▽ ` )/

Bleh

You’re right—the technique of using black-screen text for internal monologues was indeed inspired by works like Lessons in Love . I love how it immerses players in the protagonist’s thoughts. You might spot other familiar techniques too… You know how it goes: you’re writing, and suddenly realize you’ve ‘reinvented the wheel’ (￢‿￢ ). But isn’t that the essence of creativity—drawing inspiration, reinterpreting, and making something your own? I hope I’ve succeeded

The versions 0.2 and 0.2.1 differ in that the latter includes bug fixes, while the story duration remains the same. The RU version was released later and already had the fixes applied, which is why it is labeled 0.2. Thank you for your feedback

No, I’m not talking about years. Hopefully, we’ll manage to get everything done in a few months, maybe by early autumn. But I’m hesitant to give exact timelines because I don’t want to raise false hopes—there are too many unpredictable variables.

Don’t worry, as I said—it’s not as scary as it seems. The remaster was truly necessary. The goal isn’t to chase perfection but to create what should have been there from the start. Beyond the graphics, there’ll be a lot of new content that should’ve been included but was cut due to time constraints. Thank you for your excitement and support—keep believing in us, and we won’t let you down!

(Probably) 

Thanks for the support! 
I’m glad you enjoyed the update.

Take care.

Submitted a third request... #276918

This is my second post about the indexing issue, but the problem remains unresolved. My game unexpectedly disappeared from itch.io’s search engine after an update.
My first support ticket was #272209. After 7 days, I was told to resubmit the request using the email linked to my itch.io account. I did so with ticket #273527, but 14 days later, there’s still no response. What should I do? My game has been missing from search results for nearly a month…

Hi! I know I’ve probably become annoying by now, but this is what I do best 😅. It’s been two weeks, and I still haven’t received a reply—the issue remains unresolved. Should I create another post or reach out to support again?

Thank you for the feedback—I’ll look into what can be done about this (。・ε・。)

Thanks dear!

Hello, after 7 days of my initial request, an administrator finally responded to me. However, they refused to process my request and asked me to create a new one because the email I used to contact support did not match the one linked to my itch.io account. In reality, it’s the same email address—on itch.io, the shortened version was displayed, while the messages were sent using the full version. I’ve already updated the address to the full version on itch.io.  Anyway, that’s not the main issue. Could I kindly ask you once again to notify the administration? The new ticket number is #273527.

Could you clarify how long you’ve been waiting? My number is 272209, and I’m facing a similar issue. I’m curious how much longer the resolution process might take…

I understand, but I’ve been publishing for almost a year now. Plus, many developers leave links to their games on other platforms, which makes the security checks pointless since files can be replaced at any time. So, I doubt the issue is specifically about file safety. More likely, it’s because I tweaked the tags—there were errors in the original ones. What upsets me now is that the complaint review process will likely take a long time, even though I waited six months for the release, and now it’s gone live without indexing or a chance to appear in the ‘new updates’ section. But thank you for trying to cheer me up (￣ ￣|||)

Thank you so much! And again, sorry for disturbing you (つω`｡)

I understand, yes, the changes were indeed made during the update, but it’s already been a week, so I started to worry. Thank you for replying. Am I correct in understanding that the game is not in "quarantine" and all I can do now is wait?
