Hey man looking forward to that for sure
Good day Nervki,
While there was a ruling in United States v. Handley that supports your claim, the ruling was challenged latter in United States v. Dean. If you would like to point out the actual precedent or section of the law you are referring to we would be happy to look it over. Please feel free to DM me and I would love to hear your points, but according to our research fictionalized underage characters are illegal under the PROTECT Act of 2003.
That all being said please feel free to DM me any counter points you may have so we do not take this thread too far off the topic of the game.

Oh yes, I should do that.
Is “having a link directing to a Pixiv page” the same as “hosting it”?
We cannot link to it or host it. We wouldn’t be able to have any access to it.
How would I DM you? I’m not entirely sure how to do that
So … I made a translation of this game and fixed some of the issues like 6 months ago, but I forgot to upload it here, so here it is.
Better late than never.

like are we talking about bugfixes as well??
two new bugs with this version:
- the confirmation for if you are ready to enter the school for the day pops up after class, rather than before it.
- while you can still work for points, you cant buy anything from shopkeepers (at least on the first three days). meaning its impossible to get food.

I get this message even tho I just started playing this game and my mission was to go to WG Academy. Any help?
This game urgently needs a rewrite or it will be taken down. They make the player a 19-year-old going to school, so it’s clear they wanted you to be an adult, which is good, but then randomly at least 1 of the girls in the school is FUCKING FIFTEEN BRO. We can’t be doing this. This game is gonna get nuked off WG if the admins ever notice this. Idc if it disrespects the original writer, if you like this game, rewrite it and change the ages.
The admins are aware of this game as the age issue was brought up previously in this thread. @Hanogi (the developer) had stated they were planning on changing the ages of characters in game. Obviously it wasn’t the developer who linked this game originally.

oh good okay, sorry, I was just very caught off-guard. It’s against the rules, but I get age differences a bit across cultures, even if I disagree, but 15 was just… genuinely upsetting.

Hanogi is a Korean developer I believe the so age of consent is obviously different. And they planned on making an English version of the script and releasing it at a later date.
They were unaware of the U.S. age of consent differences. And told that to be hosted on the site the age would have to change. So I think that’s where it left off.
Korea actually has a higher age of consent than the US and Japan for the most part is effectively 18. The thing is when it comes to fictional contend the US, Japan, and South Korea do not prosecute that type of content which is why its seen in many types of media such as comics, animation, and other forms of fictional media not using real people or actual minors
To clarify, yes the only reason the post is still up is the dev did confirm with us their intent to localize and change the ages in the game in the English version to comply with US law so we are treating this more like a localization project atm.
And a quick correction to @nervki statement, in the US it has actually been prosecuted successfully twice in the cases against both Dwight Whorley and Christopher Handley which involved manga depicting minors. Just because it is not prosecuted often does not mean its not prosecuted.
Further discussion of this topic though on this thread will be considered off topic though so I ask everyone refrain from further discussions on the law in general unless it pertains directly to the game. Thank you.
