First, I would like to preface that I have only played until around the start of Chapter II. Crimson High seems to be the makings of an excellent AVN. It has been more captivating than most others I have experienced. I did want to point out a detail that I noticed while playing. When encountering Orianna the first and second time, a "crucifix" is mentioned. The error is that a crucifix is a term depicting Jesus crucified. The item seen in your game is instead a cross. Also, consider making the hint for the hamsters more prevalent and more distinctively contrasting against the quick save notification. It's nothing against the feature. I acknowledge that others enjoy it. I like seeing the extra artwork but feel distracted and less immersed in the story when constantly checking for secrets. Otherwise, I have nothing else but praise for this project. Keep up the fantastic work. Have a nice day!
You're right, "crucifix" isn't exactly the right term, but I chose it deliberately, despite that fact. Jesus doesn't exist in the world of CH*, so the crucifix in this world can't be depicting Jesus crucified. Instead, in CH lore, the Church's crucifix is a symbol for converging paths of sacrifice and faith.
On top of that, the term "crucifix" has a way closer tie to vampires in various pieces of vampire mythology than the term "cross" does, seeing as the cross itself is (usually) only considered harmful to vampires while in the context of Christianity, whereas the crucifix always is considered harmful due to its inherent link to Christianity. And, frankly, I personally think "crucifix" just sounds better and more impactful than "cross".
As for the notification stuff for the hamsters.. I'll think about it. You're the first person to tell me that the notifications are too subtle, so I have to assume that most people are fine with them as they are (or just don't care enough to mention it). Now, if I were to make them more obvious, on the other hand, I'm sure I'd get people saying that they are too distracting or something like that, instead. What I potentially could do is to give the player options for the notification's style, even though I honestly don't think it's the best way to spend my time, seeing as it'd take away from the development of actual content. Now, that being said, though, I'll probably still do it, since I enjoy this kinda work and it shouldn't take away too much time. I just can't promise when and how I'm going to implement it, seeing as the hamsters themselves are already just an "extra" feature of CH, and thus this addition is very low priority.
Thanks again for your kind words, though, and have a nice day, too!
TL;DR: No Jesus in CH = crucifix in CH has no Jesus on it Notifications will probably see a change at some point, but no clue when due to low priority
*(Not 100% true, but for reasons, I'll leave it at that)
I was thinking 'i finally found a game thats as good as fall of the angels (probably better)' and literally 5 minutes later i saw the tv scene... i wonder did you get inspired by that game to make a story focused one as well ?
the game overall is 10/10 but i noticed that in the hamster gallery section i saw that even though i found 5 hamsters the photos were still locked so i thought i need to click unlock hamsters to use the ones i found but it unlocked all of them... even if i go back to previous saves they are still unlocked is there a way to 'fix' it ? Also i think a warning for the button would be good too
Yeah, a warning for the button might be a good idea. I'll see that I add that for next update. Also, there sadly isn't an easy way to "fix" this. Best thing I can offer is to create some sort of reset button for the hamsters in general (something I'll likely do anyway) and to send you a fix for this issue in particular, if you tell me which hamsters it were that you accidentally unlocked. There sadly isn't something as simple as an "undo" button or something like that.
Thanks for offering help but its fine no need to send a fix if there isnt an easy one. i can wait for the next update to find the others. i only wanted to say it so if another player sees this they wont do the same mistake as i did. Because finding them was really fun, just playing the game and you just notice a tiny cute hamster looking at you behind a book or something :D
Ah. It seems like I forgot to add the instructions to the dev log this time. Mea culpa.
To install the update-only patch, unzip the contents of the zip file to your current CH root folder (where the .exe file is) and tell it to overwrite when prompted.
Beware: It only works from the last version to this one, meaning your current version needs to be at least v0.34.0 for the update-only patch to work.
I know i left a review before but seriously im loving this story. I just wish you could release new update by the week but I understand how hard it is to release a new version but that's seriously how much I enjoy it
Just.. What the hell is going on on background, when mc speaks with Meritaten in v.35.1?
Is it the same green haired girl walking towards mc during his talk with Meritaten, that passed by on the background behind mc's father during phonecall?
Is it Emica who walked out, saw mc, went back and then looked out from the corner?
I assume it is her talking in cliffhanger, cause mc mentioned he saw white hair while they went to park with Nerez.
Nice update, by the way. Already waiting for new version.
first we got fired and got case with chika closed already. After that we got to know about what happened to chika from Suzu and then going to talk with Yukari about chika. L - logic (idk if this is intended but i got it like that)
P.S. i'm in love with this project it's just too cool and hamsters is cool easter egg and there's just everything good about story it isn't too unknown but in the same time it isn't obvious at first and only thing what putting it a little down is some animations bc they are just slideshows and i'm only on second act as i wrote this
P.P.S. i think it is intended bc there is thought about us not being detective anymore
Yes, that's intentional. Just because the case is over doesn't mean the MC just ignores all the girls and doesn't care about their sides of the story anymore.
Glad you like it. It's only gonna get better going forward.
I assume you're on PC? Did you use the update-only version or the full version? If it's the latter, did you unpack it to a new location or just shove the files in the same folder, overwriting what was there before?
I did use the update only version, and when that did not work downloaded the full version and moved a copy of my saves there to test. I stored it in a separate location for that. Both provided the same error message.
Interesting. Question: Which update did you play last before attempting to play the current one?
To explain my train of thought here: Seeing as you're (so far) the only person to show me this error leads me to believe that it's not an issue with the update itself. Then, the only time I've seen that error being persistent before, was when I switched from RenPy 7.4.8 to 7.5.3 back in like v0.13.0 (or somewhere around there).
The traceback doesn't really give too much information about what's actually wrong, so all I can really offer you is to take a look at your save file and see if I can get it to work on my end or if the save file itself somehow got borked. If you want me to do that, upload the save file to Google Drive or some other file host and send me the link as a reply here and I'll get back to you at some point tomorrow.
No problem, Thank you for your help. I think I will just replay the game at some point, gives me the excuse I need to track down the hamsters I missed. Thank you for such a great game. Though the last update I played was the 0.34 using the update only I believe.
I just finished 0.34 a day ago and decided to check to see if you had announced when the next update would come out just to find that it came out 3 hours ago, now I'm hyped!
I have absolutely loved the story and pace of the game and would recommend anybody who enjoys adult story games to download this. The only hiccup I have about the game is the negative view on Christianity but it is only a small gripe so I just have my head canon that the negativity is directed to the Catholics as I am a protestant. The head cannon being that the protestant reformation in this universe was about a dispute amongst Christians who did and did not accept myths as equals. Supporting evidence being the all men are created equal under God which was first stated in protestant England as well as with the heavy focus of individuality in many protestant nations. over all a 9/10 story
Lost my save and got to go through this all again, but damn it you made a good enough story that I actually want to get back to where I was so I am ready for new update, looking forward to seeing how things go, but I mourn the loss of the smol even if I fully understand the reasoning behind it (and it was done in a somewhat satisfying way for the story as well which is nice bonus)
That's in reference to the free use kink. In case you're not familiar: a consensual sexual relationship where one or both (or more?) parties can engage in sexual activities with the other(s) whenever they want - often with little or no foreplay and a significant lack of mood buildup slash courting. There are all kinds of variations to it, from accessories to signify availability, to sleep sex, to scheduled "free use phases".
I'll give my honest review here. I found this story a while ago and in complete honesty is one of the best ones I've read up til now, if I was to donate to any of the graphic novels, it would be crimson high above all else. I seriously can't wait for v0.35 to be released
I will be completely honest here. Crimson High is the most well thought-out, polished, and most engaging game I have played in a LONG time. It's one of those games that urges you onto the next chapter/story. And it never has a dull moment in character development because you're always meeting to new characters. While I'm not a particular fan of harem games, this game makes me feel like a fucking god amongst men. Very little games achieve what this game has done to my brain and right now, I can not only frame this in my top 1 favorite nsfw game of all time, but also in my top 3 favorite visual novels of all time. Well done, veritgo.
Crimson High has one of the more interesting plotlines I have found from any game on Itch for a while. Characters don't feel like hollow shells just put there to sate the MC's libido, they have depth and a backstory to them. The writing has kept me on my feet with each new revelation or morsel with a greater implication, come questions, questions and more questions.
I look forward to continuing the current content and to see how things play out in the future.
This is one of the best VNs I've played in a long time. I was genuinely sad when I realized I made it to the end of the update, I was eager to see the rest of the story lmao.
Loving the story, really, the slow pacing and building is healing.
There's just a thing that I kinda dislike, even if I kinda get why you had to do it ( there are a lot of games that risked the shut down cz char were to child-like), but that changing on Jun in the new version piss me of. She was different to all the girls, she was a precious with that short hairs and she was also petite, now she's canon with all the others and I feel like she lost part of her personality :c.
Just wanted to point it out as other has done but as a positive criticism.
Nevertheless the writing on the game is top notch, and the story is so original that I've devoured it, so keep it on cause it's marvelous 👌
first of all, thanks for the comment. It's much appreciated.
Well, believe me, in a perfect world, I'd have left Jun as she was (sans character growth etc.) but we're not living in a perfect world, so I did what I had to do. However, I feel like saying that she's like all the others now isn't really fair, cause a) it implies that the others are all the same and b) it implies that Jun was nothing more than her young-ish visuals. She's still the same girl, just in a slightly more appropriate frame.
That being said, I'd suggest just giving her a chance, cause I personally feel like the change to her visuals wasn't detrimental to her as a character - it rather emphasizes her personality in my opinion. She has some more screen time in the next update, which hopefully can show that off a bit more.
It's all good, mate. I get what you're saying. But since her looks were the problem to begin with, there wasn't much I could've done besides doing what I did.
Next update is coming along nicely! It's gonna be out sometime this month. :)
Edit: I don't see it. Why do you think it copies CH? From what I could tell, the only similarity is the vague school setting, but even then, the MC there is a student.
For Android, you need to download the full .apk from here and install it. That'll update your CH installation and you can continue your save files. There sadly isn't an update-only version for Android, unless you use Joiplay to play.
1)Is it correct that one can skip all the texting? The option "That's all" is available from the very beginning.
2)Even if Ren didn't text with Okami about the reward, he still checks out the hotel restaurant and invites her there during the waiting for Kuro & backup. I think this is quite strange.
You know what, that is an oversight on my part. I completely forgot to add requirements to continue at that point. Funny how no one's mentioned that before in the last two weeks of the update being out.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix that for the next release. :)
Well, logically speaking there are no reason to not check all messages if you can. However, as I know that sometimes order matters in CH, I've played different combinations, including the total ignore.
By the way, again, logically speaking, Toukashouldreturn to the class after the texting with Ren. Thus girls shouldn't be able to text or, at least, make selfie if Ren text with herat first. But, I suppose, that makes this episode unreasonable complicated.
First Touka was held up by a short conversation with the two other teachers in the lounge, then she went to the bathroom after texting with Ren, since she was out of class already anyway. :P
Ohai! So just finished 0.34 and I loved it. I like what's happening with Jun, the evolution of characters makes them more interesting after all.
The Lewd scene with Suzu was wonderful! Best gurl.
The event with Yui was extremely interesting and unexpected! But now I'm starting to wonder if similar things might happen with all of the girls Ren gives his blood to and what exactly is going to happen between Ren, Yui and Aki.
All in all, I am extremely satisfied with Crimson High so far.
love this game but what did you do to jun seriously why its not right now so weird its probably just me but not liking it ill still play just feels weird sorry
i am loving the game so far...the story is great, and for me, the backbone of this type of game is the story, the sexy scenes are secondary. the girls are quite cute. miko is my favorite, i think. keep up the good work vertigo!
Vertigo, I noticed that I had one grey message marked as ??? when I continute my save on 0.32.0. Was it on purpose or I missed something that will unluck it? Please let me know if it's on purpose so I woundn't take days wonder where I did wrong. ;)
Well, yes and no. It's not a bug, if that's what you mean. The message is only available under certain circumstances. Since I can't add spoilered messages to this, I'll wait for your confirmation before telling you where to look, if you want to know.
The message is from Tsubaki, the green-haired girl from the track & field club. You have to pick her as your favorite at the track to get her number/give her your number, and thus be able to get a message from her. Quick disclaimer, though: It's a rather short message interaction for now. There will be more in the future, based on this, but yeah. May or may not be worth going through the trouble of going back to that decision just to see it. :)
Probably not, sorry. Here on Itch, I'll keep using the built-in uploader for as long as I can, and for Patreon I'll stick with the 3 hosts I'm already using. Mediafire isn't a host I usually use myself, even if it's available.
I dropped this game twice because of how boring it was at start but I wanted to know why everyone was praising this game so much. That's why on my third play-through I pushed myself to play the entire game and I am glad that I did. I absolutely love this game. Here is my personal opinion:
What I love about this game:
The characters are very well written. This game has more than 20+ characters and it feels like all of them has an intriguing backstory to tell.
The world building is fantastic. Every myth has their own lore and rule that they follow and the story never ignores any of them just for the sake of plot.
What I don't like about this game:
The starting is very slow. The characters take time to develop and the game only starts to get interesting after 70% through chapter 1
The next issue is that the game is written more like a light novel rather than a visual novel. The main character monologues a bit too much. There are lots of scenes that could have been presented visually (by showing images) but instead the MC monologue the entire scene.
But with all it's flaws, I still fell in love with this game. Great job vertigo 👍
Thanks a bunch for giving CH another chance! I'm aware of the early game being rather slow and even somewhat boring. I've learned a lot since then, both in terms of writing and the visuals, as noticeable in the later stages of the game. MC's monologuing is indeed a bit too prominent in the early game, as you said. I have since reduced that and limited his thoughts to moments of downtime and/or relevant situations, instead of all the time in the middle of conversations.
Maybe I have to go back and rewrite some of the first chapter to make it easier for new players to get into the game. I'll have to think about that.
There is another thing that I should let you know. I am playing it on Android and during my play-through, the game crashed more than 10 times. Also, every time the game crashed was during "Texting" scenes (where the MC replies to messages). But the issue doesn't happen when I access phone from the top left corner of the screen.
Anyway, best of luck bro 👍 looking forward to what you are cooking next 😁
Do you play on an older phone, by any chance? Because this is very likely a memory issue. The game keeps up to 25 previous messages in the log and for some reason this seems to take up a lot of memory on mobile devices. As far as I can tell, this is an issue of RenPy (the program I'm using to code the game) rather than CH itself. I might reduce the maximum amount of messages further, though. That way it should have less on an impact on older phones.
That should be sufficient, actually. I'll see that I reduce the message log for next update. Maybe cut it down to just 15 messages instead of 25 and hope that that solves the issue.
Should this keep happening after you've played the next update, let me know and I'll see if there's anything else I can do, alright?
Hey vertigo. Long time not playing Ch and come back for it.Gonna say THE CLIFFHANGER NEVER CHANGE HAHA.It was soooo gooood that leave me wanting for more.Great job there :D. The story is amazing, the choice doesnt let you astray from the path of relationship and i love the deepen relationships between mc and other girls. Keep up the good work man. If only the currencies is not the problem, i would definitely support you. And ya make me want to make my own virtual novel games too :D.
Could you tell me what apps do you use to build character, scene and the minimum specs of your comp/laptop? I would really want to try to make my own games T-T
Hello there and welcome back to CH! The cliffhangers indeed never change lol. They'll be there for as long as I'm here to make em. Glad to hear you enjoy it, mate! Thanks for the praise. :)
The characters and scenes are both made in Koikatsu Party (available on Steam). Here's my specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz GeForce RTX 4070 TI 32 GB RAM
ok i just finished the last update and first,what the actual fuck?,im in love with this game,my head hurts with all the theories that are being slowly comfirmed in my head,i was expecting something like tat to happen but it was faster than i though it will,and now i have more theories, aahhhh
That answers my question perfectly! Thank you very much, i hope i didn't put you in to much of a tight spot answering that, i promise I'm not trying to squeeze any spoilers out of you it was genuine curiosity. I look so forward to your next update!
You're very welcome, and no worries, I don't mind curiosity. :P Next update's coming along nicely and it shouldn't be too much longer before it's done!

Wanna see this cool picture?

Actually, no, I didn't know FotA when I started making CH. 13th and I met through the Discord. :)

Sorry if I'm being dumb. But how do I play the "update only" one? Should I copy/paste the folders to somewhere?

I assume you're on PC? Did you use the update-only version or the full version? If it's the latter, did you unpack it to a new location or just shove the files in the same folder, overwriting what was there before?
I did use the update only version, and when that did not work downloaded the full version and moved a copy of my saves there to test. I stored it in a separate location for that. Both provided the same error message.
Interesting. Question: Which update did you play last before attempting to play the current one?
To explain my train of thought here: Seeing as you're (so far) the only person to show me this error leads me to believe that it's not an issue with the update itself. Then, the only time I've seen that error being persistent before, was when I switched from RenPy 7.4.8 to 7.5.3 back in like v0.13.0 (or somewhere around there).
The traceback doesn't really give too much information about what's actually wrong, so all I can really offer you is to take a look at your save file and see if I can get it to work on my end or if the save file itself somehow got borked. If you want me to do that, upload the save file to Google Drive or some other file host and send me the link as a reply here and I'll get back to you at some point tomorrow.
No problem, Thank you for your help. I think I will just replay the game at some point, gives me the excuse I need to track down the hamsters I missed. Thank you for such a great game. Though the last update I played was the 0.34 using the update only I believe.
Hmm, alright. Let me know, should something like this come up again. Glad you're enjoying the game, mate. Have fun going through again. :)
I just finished 0.34 a day ago and decided to check to see if you had announced when the next update would come out just to find that it came out 3 hours ago, now I'm hyped!
Love the game mate keep it up!
Couldn't have gone any better than that. :P
Thanks, mate!
I have absolutely loved the story and pace of the game and would recommend anybody who enjoys adult story games to download this. The only hiccup I have about the game is the negative view on Christianity but it is only a small gripe so I just have my head canon that the negativity is directed to the Catholics as I am a protestant. The head cannon being that the protestant reformation in this universe was about a dispute amongst Christians who did and did not accept myths as equals. Supporting evidence being the all men are created equal under God which was first stated in protestant England as well as with the heavy focus of individuality in many protestant nations. over all a 9/10 story
Thanks, mate. Nice of you to say. :)
Lost my save and got to go through this all again, but damn it you made a good enough story that I actually want to get back to where I was so I am ready for new update, looking forward to seeing how things go, but I mourn the loss of the smol even if I fully understand the reasoning behind it (and it was done in a somewhat satisfying way for the story as well which is nice bonus)
Sorry to hear about your save. At least you got to replay the game that way, though.
Thanks for your kind words and your understanding!
When you say "free use" in the future fetishes list. What exactly do you mean?
That's in reference to the free use kink. In case you're not familiar: a consensual sexual relationship where one or both (or more?) parties can engage in sexual activities with the other(s) whenever they want - often with little or no foreplay and a significant lack of mood buildup slash courting. There are all kinds of variations to it, from accessories to signify availability, to sleep sex, to scheduled "free use phases".
Okay thanks man. I thought you meant more along the lines of sharing free use. Glad to hear it's not.
Oh no, don't worry. No sharing with other guys in CH.

Im really enjoying the game so far about how often do the updates happen if you dont mind me asking?
Glad to hear! CH updates release on a roughly monthly schedule - usually 4-5 weeks between updates. :)
hmm ok good to know looking forward to the next update
I'll give my honest review here. I found this story a while ago and in complete honesty is one of the best ones I've read up til now, if I was to donate to any of the graphic novels, it would be crimson high above all else. I seriously can't wait for v0.35 to be released
Thanks a ton! Glad to hear that! :)
I will be completely honest here. Crimson High is the most well thought-out, polished, and most engaging game I have played in a LONG time. It's one of those games that urges you onto the next chapter/story. And it never has a dull moment in character development because you're always meeting to new characters. While I'm not a particular fan of harem games, this game makes me feel like a fucking god amongst men. Very little games achieve what this game has done to my brain and right now, I can not only frame this in my top 1 favorite nsfw game of all time, but also in my top 3 favorite visual novels of all time. Well done, veritgo.
Well, damn! Thanks a lot, mate. That's really kind of you to say and lovely to read. :)
ofc dude! also the hamster mechanic is fucking hilarious
Crimson High has one of the more interesting plotlines I have found from any game on Itch for a while. Characters don't feel like hollow shells just put there to sate the MC's libido, they have depth and a backstory to them. The writing has kept me on my feet with each new revelation or morsel with a greater implication, come questions, questions and more questions.
I look forward to continuing the current content and to see how things play out in the future.
Thanks, mate. Glad you enjoy the game!
This is one of the best VNs I've played in a long time. I was genuinely sad when I realized I made it to the end of the update, I was eager to see the rest of the story lmao.
Keep it up, so far it's going reslly great!
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it. :)
This has to be my favorite VN by far!!! I cannot wait to see it fully finished.
Glad to hear, mate. Thanks for your comment! :)
Heyo
Loving the story, really, the slow pacing and building is healing.
There's just a thing that I kinda dislike, even if I kinda get why you had to do it ( there are a lot of games that risked the shut down cz char were to child-like), but that changing on Jun in the new version piss me of. She was different to all the girls, she was a precious with that short hairs and she was also petite, now she's canon with all the others and I feel like she lost part of her personality :c.
Just wanted to point it out as other has done but as a positive criticism.
Nevertheless the writing on the game is top notch, and the story is so original that I've devoured it, so keep it on cause it's marvelous 👌
Hey there,
first of all, thanks for the comment. It's much appreciated.
Well, believe me, in a perfect world, I'd have left Jun as she was (sans character growth etc.) but we're not living in a perfect world, so I did what I had to do.
However, I feel like saying that she's like all the others now isn't really fair, cause a) it implies that the others are all the same and b) it implies that Jun was nothing more than her young-ish visuals. She's still the same girl, just in a slightly more appropriate frame.
That being said, I'd suggest just giving her a chance, cause I personally feel like the change to her visuals wasn't detrimental to her as a character - it rather emphasizes her personality in my opinion. She has some more screen time in the next update, which hopefully can show that off a bit more.
Again, thanks for the comment, though. :)
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to say that all char are the same abs offend your work, that isn't the case.
Clearly every char, gurls and Bois too, has a personal story and a way to see things that is really interesting.
It was mainly for aesthetic since she seemed petite and innocent. But again, nevertheless I can't wait to play next update!
It's all good, mate. I get what you're saying. But since her looks were the problem to begin with, there wasn't much I could've done besides doing what I did.
Next update is coming along nicely! It's gonna be out sometime this month. :)
What program do you use for modeling it doesn't look like Koikatsu or anything else I have seen in H games.
It's Koikatsu, but I went away from the default look (and especially head shape) everyone uses
The shading style is a lot different also how did you set it up?
I've played around a lot with different combinations of settings until I had found one I was happy with.
Which set up are you asking about specifically?
has anyone tried the game the beginning i swear they stole this game just changed the characters
Do you have a link?
The Beginning Of End by The Art Of Suicide Games (itch.io)
I'll check it out later, thanks
Edit: I don't see it. Why do you think it copies CH? From what I could tell, the only similarity is the vague school setting, but even then, the MC there is a student.
the school is identical from the entrance to the class room granted the story is different but the back ground looks the same
Ah. Well, you'll find that particular school in a lot of Koi games. It's one of the base maps to use, so a lot of people use it.
Hello mate! One question, for the 0.34 to be combined with 0.33(for android), do we need to install full 1gb+ or is there any zip only?
For Android, you need to download the full .apk from here and install it. That'll update your CH installation and you can continue your save files. There sadly isn't an update-only version for Android, unless you use Joiplay to play.
Hello Vertigo!
I'd like to report possible bug? in 0.34.
1)Is it correct that one can skip all the texting? The option "That's all" is available from the very beginning.
2)Even if Ren didn't text with Okami about the reward, he still checks out the hotel restaurant and invites her there during the waiting for Kuro & backup. I think this is quite strange.
You know what, that is an oversight on my part. I completely forgot to add requirements to continue at that point. Funny how no one's mentioned that before in the last two weeks of the update being out.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix that for the next release. :)
Well, logically speaking there are no reason to not check all messages if you can. However, as I know that sometimes order matters in CH, I've played different combinations, including the total ignore.
By the way, again, logically speaking, Touka should return to the class after the texting with Ren. Thus girls shouldn't be able to text or, at least, make selfie if Ren text with her at first. But, I suppose, that makes this episode unreasonable complicated.
First Touka was held up by a short conversation with the two other teachers in the lounge, then she went to the bathroom after texting with Ren, since she was out of class already anyway. :P
Ohai! So just finished 0.34 and I loved it. I like what's happening with Jun, the evolution of characters makes them more interesting after all.
The Lewd scene with Suzu was wonderful! Best gurl.
The event with Yui was extremely interesting and unexpected! But now I'm starting to wonder if similar things might happen with all of the girls Ren gives his blood to and what exactly is going to happen between Ren, Yui and Aki.
All in all, I am extremely satisfied with Crimson High so far.
Happy to hear that! Thanks a lot, mate. :)
love this game but what did you do to jun seriously why its not right now so weird its probably just me but not liking it ill still play just feels weird sorry
I did what I had to do
i am loving the game so far...the story is great, and for me, the backbone of this type of game is the story, the sexy scenes are secondary. the girls are quite cute. miko is my favorite, i think. keep up the good work vertigo!
Hey, thanks a lot, mate! Appreciate the kind words!
Vertigo, I noticed that I had one grey message marked as ??? when I continute my save on 0.32.0. Was it on purpose or I missed something that will unluck it? Please let me know if it's on purpose so I woundn't take days wonder where I did wrong. ;)
Well, yes and no. It's not a bug, if that's what you mean. The message is only available under certain circumstances. Since I can't add spoilered messages to this, I'll wait for your confirmation before telling you where to look, if you want to know.
Yeah, I would like to see if and how I can unlock and see what the message is if that's possible
The message is from Tsubaki, the green-haired girl from the track & field club. You have to pick her as your favorite at the track to get her number/give her your number, and thus be able to get a message from her.
Quick disclaimer, though: It's a rather short message interaction for now. There will be more in the future, based on this, but yeah. May or may not be worth going through the trouble of going back to that decision just to see it. :)
Anyway you could start using mediafire ? it has a boost setting so it is easier to download. Just asking.
Probably not, sorry.
Here on Itch, I'll keep using the built-in uploader for as long as I can, and for Patreon I'll stick with the 3 hosts I'm already using. Mediafire isn't a host I usually use myself, even if it's available.
I dropped this game twice because of how boring it was at start but I wanted to know why everyone was praising this game so much. That's why on my third play-through I pushed myself to play the entire game and I am glad that I did. I absolutely love this game. Here is my personal opinion:
What I love about this game:
The characters are very well written. This game has more than 20+ characters and it feels like all of them has an intriguing backstory to tell.
The world building is fantastic. Every myth has their own lore and rule that they follow and the story never ignores any of them just for the sake of plot.
What I don't like about this game:
The starting is very slow. The characters take time to develop and the game only starts to get interesting after 70% through chapter 1
The next issue is that the game is written more like a light novel rather than a visual novel. The main character monologues a bit too much. There are lots of scenes that could have been presented visually (by showing images) but instead the MC monologue the entire scene.
But with all it's flaws, I still fell in love with this game. Great job vertigo 👍
Hi there!
Thanks a bunch for giving CH another chance!
I'm aware of the early game being rather slow and even somewhat boring. I've learned a lot since then, both in terms of writing and the visuals, as noticeable in the later stages of the game.
MC's monologuing is indeed a bit too prominent in the early game, as you said. I have since reduced that and limited his thoughts to moments of downtime and/or relevant situations, instead of all the time in the middle of conversations.
Maybe I have to go back and rewrite some of the first chapter to make it easier for new players to get into the game. I'll have to think about that.
Thanks for your comment, mate. :)
There is another thing that I should let you know. I am playing it on Android and during my play-through, the game crashed more than 10 times. Also, every time the game crashed was during "Texting" scenes (where the MC replies to messages). But the issue doesn't happen when I access phone from the top left corner of the screen.
Anyway, best of luck bro 👍 looking forward to what you are cooking next 😁
Do you play on an older phone, by any chance? Because this is very likely a memory issue. The game keeps up to 25 previous messages in the log and for some reason this seems to take up a lot of memory on mobile devices. As far as I can tell, this is an issue of RenPy (the program I'm using to code the game) rather than CH itself. I might reduce the maximum amount of messages further, though. That way it should have less on an impact on older phones.
Thanks for letting me know!
Well, I bought my phone last year. It's performance isn't bad but not top of the line either. It has 6 GB ram with Snapdragon 778 processor.
That should be sufficient, actually. I'll see that I reduce the message log for next update. Maybe cut it down to just 15 messages instead of 25 and hope that that solves the issue.
Should this keep happening after you've played the next update, let me know and I'll see if there's anything else I can do, alright?
Hey vertigo. Long time not playing Ch and come back for it.Gonna say THE CLIFFHANGER NEVER CHANGE HAHA.It was soooo gooood that leave me wanting for more.Great job there :D. The story is amazing, the choice doesnt let you astray from the path of relationship and i love the deepen relationships between mc and other girls. Keep up the good work man. If only the currencies is not the problem, i would definitely support you. And ya make me want to make my own virtual novel games too :D.
Could you tell me what apps do you use to build character, scene and the minimum specs of your comp/laptop? I would really want to try to make my own games T-T
Hello there and welcome back to CH!
The cliffhangers indeed never change lol. They'll be there for as long as I'm here to make em.
Glad to hear you enjoy it, mate! Thanks for the praise. :)
The characters and scenes are both made in Koikatsu Party (available on Steam).
Here's my specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz
GeForce RTX 4070 TI
32 GB RAM
Hope that helps!
Thankyou so much dev!
ok i just finished the last update and first,what the actual fuck?,im in love with this game,my head hurts with all the theories that are being slowly comfirmed in my head,i was expecting something like tat to happen but it was faster than i though it will,and now i have more theories, aahhhh
Heh, that's lovely to read. Thanks, mate. I'm glad you enjoy the game!
That answers my question perfectly! Thank you very much, i hope i didn't put you in to much of a tight spot answering that, i promise I'm not trying to squeeze any spoilers out of you it was genuine curiosity. I look so forward to your next update!
You're very welcome, and no worries, I don't mind curiosity. :P
Next update's coming along nicely and it shouldn't be too much longer before it's done!
Ngl, I had to cycle through like 5 wrong ideas to (I think) understand what happened at the end there. I can't wait for the next update!
Hehe. It's coming along nicely and should be out soon-ish™️. :P
Thank you for the 0.33 update, it was lovely. I really enjoyed that last scene, its was a huge surprise and I am not easily caught by surprise.
Love to hear it! Thanks, mate. :)
