Same, also i agree ziul should be in the fat-route as well, given he explicitly declares that he prefers MC that way.
I’d also ask if is possible a little modification: in the first sumo match zac is about 70 kg while in the second he’s 90 but his sprite is still the same, it would be cool having both a buffed version and a chunkier one (in case you spent more time with him prior the match)

A doubt, how would you make a chapter centered on Halloween? My ideas are to divide it in three, one with Oken, Ian and Zac, one with Jim and Ryan and one accompanying Shaun to take his brother out trick-or-treating, sounds good?

Look, yes I thought Ziul should be in a fat rute but analyzing the game I find it hard narratively he is, since you don’t spend much time with him, whether you gain or lose weight doesn’t really affect much in how he treats you since in if his route is based on helping him with his experiment, I might consider it, as Ziul might imply that he likes to see people gain weight? Or did he just add it as loose comments?
Regarding Zac, sure, I could edit his sprite in Photoshop, let me ask him

I see.
indeed, i must admit that, to get those info, i had to focus on him (as to collect his endings). Can’t remember exactly what he says (should replay his route) but sort of reckon that, at some point, he revails that he prefer chubbies (you may even lost points on him if you claim you lost weight intentionally/ are willing to) and that the only reason he didn’t experiment his fattening pills on himself is because it turned out he’s allergic to them.
Btw, do as you think it’d be more doable.
Regarding Zac, thank you! ^^

I made a diagram to more or less guide me on how to write the characters, my annotations I think would be, since in the game not all the characters live with all the characters and I feel that leaves a lot of potential wasted
Green friends, red enmity, yellow rivalry and pink attraction.
-I don’t think Oken and Ryan will get along because of Jim.
-Oken and Zac might have a friendly rivalry over the main character.
-I don’t think Ian and Jim would get along well.
-It’s possible that Jim and Lacky have academic rivalry.
-It is possible that Pi and Ian have a friendly rivalry.
-I feel that Pi and Coops would be friends if they met each other
-I don’t think Shaun likes Ryan, Pi, or Ian because of their athletic performance
-I don’t feel how Legan’s relationships would be with the entire cast as I feel like he wouldn’t talk to almost anyone.
-I think Ziul would secretly like Pi.
-I think Zac would try to hit on Ryan and Pi.

Sorry if I’ve been a little late with the development of the game, I got caught up with the holidays and physiotherapy xd

Actually, in his newest novel, Pawvard Academy, which is also based in the world of Soft Fantasies, he explicitly makes fun of that discrepancy. It’s revealed in one chapter that one of the side characters from Fantasies invented tops so that people didn’t have to walk around half-nude. It actually got a good chuckle from me when I got to that part.

This is sooo wrong in a lot of ways, if you want to modify their true relationships for your fangame its okay, but:
Ziul is not atracted to anybody.
Zac is only actracted to Pi, not to Ryan.
Oken doesn’t have enemies, in fact, he is so friendly, Jim is a close friend to him.
I don’t understand how or why should be Zac and Jim rivals.
I suppose blue lines means “indifference” or that they don’t know well, so, Shaun should have only blue lines, except for of course coops, ziul and legan. who is their friend.
Beside of that mentioned points, I think your graphic is ok.

what happens is that I want to take creative liberties to take advantage of a little more exploration of the characters, and I feel it would be a good idea to fill those spaces with new character interactions,
And the mind map works more as a how would be the chemistry of their dialogues than their relationship status, and being that for example, Jim and Zac could be friendly gym rivals, like, see them working out together and competing (rivalry is not synonymous with disliking each other).
And, I think it would also be a good idea to add the dynamic of a very seductive person and a very shy person, as I feel it would be funny x
regarding Jim and Oken, I think it would be a good idea to revive a bit of their dislike (not exactly enmity) from the beta, since even if Oken practiced krengjai, it is somewhat rare for him not to be offended by seeing how a person is insulting the guy he likes, and I feel that based on that fact it would be logical for him to dislike Ryan a bit for Jim’s attitudes (something that irl is very realistic in young students according to a person I consult to better develop the game’s relations)
I also had the luxury of giving Shaun a bit more exploration as a physics teacher, and I feel it would be usual if he had some favoritism and friendship with his best students other than the main character
Anyway, if you have more comments to make, you know that what I want most is that you like my version!

Btw, Pi and Ziul more than liking each other is to define a gainer-admirer chemistry, since if I can visualize dialogues where Ziul in roleplay mode tells and encourages Pi to eat more because of his role as a doctor.
