This is one of those games I have been looking for, for a long time. A game where I can do both romance and bdsm stuff. Just cause I want to bang a girl till she cannot stand up, does not mean I don't want to cuddle afterwards. Just cause I treat a girl like a princess in the streets, does not mean I can't treat her like a slave in the sheets. Its nice to have maledom stuff without having to be a raping asshole.
I saw this commented before but I fell upon the same issue. Upon arriving at Stormy Side and Chatting with Dad on the phone, after the conversation ends I cannot do anything. I got through it with Renpy console like you had replied before but I thought it'd be important to mention the issue persists. Love the game so far.
Replying here in case someone comes across the same issue and can't find the original reply. Hold Shift + O and it will open the renpy console, type (case sensitive)
messageCount = 1
in it and press escape, it should continue as per normal then
Great game! I personally don't like sadism and thought that the game would be more focused around that, but the romance paths are really sweet. And going for romance doesn't mean that there are way less lewd scenes, unlike another game I could mention.
And the gameplay is so... interesting. A lot of humor and unexpected stuff and great ideas in general. A lot of other AVNs kind of fall short in that regard but I felt really entertained here. Highly recommendable.
Ok, here are some bad points: One, this is the laggiest AVN I've played so far. My PC is a bit old but it was a gaming PC once. I already played around with the VRAM setting, but no avail. It's very tolerable though, not that big of a deal yet. Two, since there are a lot of branching paths I worry that this game will take forever to finish. And by extension, that the game will get abandoned at some point. Would be a shame.
To complete this compliment sandwich, I think the lewd scenes are really well done. Animations, sound and writing are all great. They're actually one of the best imo.
I see, then our preferences are about the same. As long as you stay on the romance paths you'll definitely get your fill of wholesomeness! But you could (if you choose) also be really mean to the girls, there's a huge contrast. The greater story is just about to kick off, not much I can say about it atm. The smaller stories are very interesting though.
Since our interests seem to align, these would be my top 10 vanilla AVNs right now:
The most aggravating thing about these amazing AVNs is that most of them are unfinished lol. Like eternum is amazing, but being 70% done with THAT cliffhanger is such a kick in the nuts, which is why I currently prefer oial. On that note, I recommend summer heat for you, it's amazing even though it's only on .5. it's got great and wholesome romances, and even different dialogue if you do a "pure" run (dedicated to one girl)
great game, amazing animations, awesome graphics, and great story. I usually enjoy skipping to the animation on VN's but i didnt with this one, im also not into punishment type games either but this one is nicely done, it has a good mix of punishment and sexual acts. And i love that you can pick what girls gets punished or avoid it entirely if you want. One of the best Visual Novels i have tried so far.
Since I don't speak Chinese, I wouldn't be doing one myself. However, the next update adds translation support, so if someone wanted to make a Chinese translation, they could do that. I imagine quite a few of the jokes regarding things like Hikari and Sasha's broken English would stop making sense though.
regarding the scene you couldn't render, what gpu do you have? not that I've ever done any rendering my self, but i can't imagine it would take a ridiculous amount (more than 8) for these?
Heh, this ended up being a much longer answer than I expected.
At the time, I was using a 7 year old 980ti which had seen pretty much daily use during those years, so I'm honestly surprised it was still working at all. It was very very unstable to the point where I'd be having the entire PC crash up to 8 times an hour (Depending on what I was doing). Somehow I managed to set up that scene without it crashing, but it was late in the day, and I figured I'd come back to it the next day or whatever. However, after that the longest I was ever able to actually have the scene loaded was about 3 minutes before it would crash. Realistically, I probably could have actually done the renders, but it would have taken like 20 times longer than normal, so instead of delaying the update I just said fuck it and drew some stick people. Another fun fact about the 980ti is that it was the original reason that there aren't a whole lot of students at the academy. Since I could have a max of like 3 characters on screen at once without it crashing, trying to populate backgrounds and things was basically impossible without photoshopping every render, so I rewrote that part of the game to make the lack of students part of the story. This is also why there are strange shadow people in the lecture hall when Kellin is introducing himself and stuff. I'd planned to fill out backgrounds with those instead of actual characters, but it turns out they're almost just as bad for performance, so I dropped the idea after that. I still need to get around to going back to rerender that bit without the random shadow people, but I'm in no huge rush on that front.
These days, due to the generous support of those enjoying the game, I have a better GPU. Specifically, it was actually just one guy who straight up bought me a new one by buying the game for some silly amount with the agreement that I'd use it to buy the GPU, so now I have a 3060 instead. This, in addition to someone else doing something similar allowing me to get 64GB of RAM, has allowed me to start sometimes filling out backgrounds with the second year girls, which a lot of people mistake as me just adding more characters because I think that's what people want. The reality of that is that they're just the background characters I would have added if I'd had a better GPU from the start, but I decided to give them a little bit of personality at least because I kinda dislike the idea of actual background characters. At very least, I felt they should have names. I also figured I might as well use them occasionally for stupid scenes that would derail the main girls' stories if I were to have them involved instead. (Like the ghost dildo thing, which would clash pretty heavily with the story of any of the main girls who aren't already aware of MC's power)
I could definitely get that MS paint scene finished now though, but given how frequently I get comments asking me not to change it, it's not very high on my priority list. HS2 is quite poorly optimised though, so I can say that whilst 8GB of VRAM would be fine most of the time, a scene with 5 or so characters might start to struggle depending on the map. It kinda depends, but either way the main point is that you could probably have a 4090 and still run into issues in HS2 a lot sooner than you'd assume based on the GPU.
Liking this game a lot. My knowledge of British slang is pretty good, Spanish language countries varies a LOT and only know a few variations, Japanese and Russian non-existent, best I can do is read a menu using my alphabet and their words. Bellend ... is that really unisex? Very rarely encountered it, took way too much time screwing around on bike tour, and never got farther north than York because of time of year. My understanding was that (literally) it meant dickhead.
That's pretty much what it means, yeah. It can generally be used the same way any generic insult is used, where it isn't usually used to actually refer to the technical meaning of the term. Kinda like calling someone an asshole is almost never a case of calling them a literal anus.
It's not as common as it used to be, but does still get used. The main reason I used it in this case is because it's very much uniquely British, and felt like a decent way of accentuating the fact that Cassie isn't American. Couldn't use twat for that, which is another go-to, since Americans apparently do say that (Albeit, more like twought rather than twat.)
I can't personally attest to the accuracy of the Russian slang usage (Which doesn't come up often), but I get help with that stuff from my Russian translator, so I'd assume it to be reasonably accurate. For Japanese (And Indonesian), it's all just google translate at the moment, but I recently got in contact with a Japanese translator, who has offered to make the Japanese that shows up in the game more organic, so the Japanese should soon be native accurate. Not so important to the actual game, but I like to get details like that right where possible.
What i did: I wanted to see what the last possible save-page is, so i first went left on the sites, to see if i skip from Autosaves to last page. Since i didn't, i wanted to use the page feature on the top right, missed the little minus and just tried to go to page -99 accidently The Problem now: The game crashed while trying to reach that save page, and whenever i try to get into the menu now it still tries to get to savepage -99 (i guess) and just instantly crashes. So i also couldn't make just a new game and safe there, it always crashes the moment i right-click to get to the inGame-Menu.
There should be several ways to fix this but the best is to delete the most recent saved games found it both the <game location folder>\Stormside-v0.23.1.4-win\game\saves folder and duplicated in the users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Renpy\Stormside-1640885091 folder. This way you will not loose every save but just the one you do not want. If this fails you may have to delete all the saves and start a new game. This should work.
Awesome game I can't wait to see the new versions of the game, it's original, and with smooth animations, one of the best games I've ever played in this category, congratulations. and I hope that in the next updates there will be more lesbian content
It's a game about school where you're allowed to punish the female students. That's where the similarities end. I should probably just delete this since it's straight up just misinformation, but I won't. At least not for now. I want the headmaster to do well, but I don't see how you could play both games and still think mine is a ripoff. It'd be like calling all WW2 movies a ripoff of whatever the first WW2 movie was. *Just to edit this since I see the original post was deleted, I wasn't the one who did it.
So many games take place in school or with more of a dominant MC. Headmaster is clearly more linear and serious as of Stormside is way more open on how to play but also way more funny/corny.
Both cant be compared other then how the punishement are done.
Both great games with great future ahead. But i cannot way for the next Stormside update. I just want to know what is going on with MC being kinapped.
I wouldn't say Headmaster is more serious (been playing for years, and the humor is viciously dry with a nice dose of cynicism, which is why I love it). Only in the early stages of this game right now, but so far the uniform styles seem to to be the biggest similarity.
If I had a gripe, it would be with Itch. The "similar games" engines is a massive disgrace. As is the inability to search games by name and still not have them come up.
I'd also point out the limited number of scenarios where the concept works.
I will agree on all you said. But i think i did not elaborated enough on by Headmaster being serious.
Like Eternum it's full of joke that you can tell are jokes and will laugh as of headmaster. there's jokes there too but they are more subtile and also like you said dry. bot have jokes and are good but both are way different
it's not, like the dev said, similar themes, as a fan of both games i enjoy them as individual games, and to the dev, keep up the good work! cause this game has SERIOUS promise
Yes, it just takes a while. If it ever gets abandoned, I'll be changing the description to reflect that, as well as disabling patreon and all that stuff.
I hope the game doesn't get abandoned, i have played a lot of story games like this but i have to admit that this one is the most amazing one i have played
i had tons of renpy errors one after another when i tried to change my name in one of the in-game phones apps it got to the point where i just had to keep hitting rollback constanly otherwise errors would keep showing up
Yes, it just takes a while. If it ever gets abandoned, I'll be changing the description to reflect that, as well as disabling patreon and all that stuff.
Not currently. I hear joiplay works, but I'm unlikely to be making an official android version until I'm able to go full time. For this game, it's not as simple as just pressing the "Build android version" button, unfortunately.
Had to create a account just to comment on this one. Awesome game ( and i`ve just played a few hours so far )! Great and diverse characters and it made me laugh quite a few times so far. Realy looking foreward for the rest of the story and my subsequent playthroughs. Keep up the good work!
I have trouble launching the Mac version of the game. I try of course setting the chmod +x on the Stormside file before but still. I get some python error in Terminal :
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
ImportError: No module named site
Hmmmm, I don't have a way of testing it myself, but I do occasionally get people reporting issues launching the game on mac. Unfortunately, since I know next to nothing about mac, there isn't really anything I can suggest beyond the basic stuff like making sure there isn't some kind of antivirus blocking it. The only google results I get for this error seem to suggest reinstalling python can resolve this issue, but I'd be surprised to learn that python is even required for the game to run (Far as I know renpy games come packaged with everything they need). Is it possible you have some kind of incompatible version of python installed which is somehow conflicting with the game? This is pure speculation, but since I won't be able to reproduce the error myself, that might be about the best I've got.
I did… I downloaded the Mac version from F95Zone… (not the Mega, the GDrive I think). Once I chmoded the file (like always for VN on Mac) it worked like a charm.
Oh yeah, this is fixed in the next update, but for now if you get this bug you can fix it by enabling the renpy console (You can google how to do this) and then part way through the text conversation with your dad, open the console with shift+O, then run the below command (Case sensitive, enter exactly as written)
messageCount = 1
After that, close the console and continue as normal, and it should let you play.
Not ideal, but one option is to use Chrome Remote Desktop, or Sunshine/Moonlight.
(The latter being a little more complex to set up, but also notably better due to the full screen. Remote Desktop leaves a border and doesn't scale to your phones resolution.)
Sunshine a host client for PC and Moonlight is the app for your phone that you'll use to connect it.
Whichever you use, you're just streaming the game from your PC to your phone.
Both let you use your phones touchscreen as a track pad to control the mouse, and there are various shortcuts for other function, like 3-finger-tap to bring up keyboard.
On that note, probably also a good idea to download the Hackers keyboard app if you go the sunshine route, since the native smartphone keyboard doesn't have things like Alt+Tab, F11, etc.
Edit: Sunshine/Moonlight also offer the benefit of being able to stream more mainstream games and use a controller that's connected to your phone, either via Bluetooth or USB.
No problem! Final recommendation that just occurred to me, you'll want your PC hardwired to your router unless your WiFi is 5g+high upload speed. Using 2.4g will be too unstable at anything but the lowest resolutions.
This also only applies to Sunshine/Moonlight.
Remote desktop isn't all that demanding, but there are no video quality settings or anything like that, and as mentioned before, it's not ideal for gaming, and frankly really doesn't work with games that require more than mouse input and an occasional key-press. Stormside would be okay, but GTAV, Minecraft, or any other "real" game would be nearly impossible to play with it.

I love how "humor amarillo" exists in this game's universe.
I know it surely won't be called that anywhere else other than in Spain (viva España), but I don't know the name in english.
It's called takashi's castle in japan and in america it's called most extreme elimination challenge
Hi, this game is really great!Whether it's the love line or the submission line, I can't wait for the next update. When will the next update be
I don't know if some one has asked or not but will there be pregnancy content added to the game?

And by extension, that the game will get abandoned at some point. Would be a shame.
To complete this compliment sandwich, I think the lewd scenes are really well done. Animations, sound and writing are all great. They're actually one of the best imo.
in your opinion, hows it compare to Caribdis' work? not lookin for the same thing, just a good story and preferably more wholesome romance-ing lo
I see, then our preferences are about the same. As long as you stay on the romance paths you'll definitely get your fill of wholesomeness! But you could (if you choose) also be really mean to the girls, there's a huge contrast. The greater story is just about to kick off, not much I can say about it atm. The smaller stories are very interesting though.

Needless to say, you should definitely check out Stormside! I had a blast.
The most aggravating thing about these amazing AVNs is that most of them are unfinished lol. Like eternum is amazing, but being 70% done with THAT cliffhanger is such a kick in the nuts, which is why I currently prefer oial. On that note, I recommend summer heat for you, it's amazing even though it's only on .5. it's got great and wholesome romances, and even different dialogue if you do a "pure" run (dedicated to one girl)
I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation!
you end up liking it?
thx for the recommendation buddy!!
When will the next update be?
great game, amazing animations, awesome graphics, and great story. I usually enjoy skipping to the animation on VN's but i didnt with this one, im also not into punishment type games either but this one is nicely done, it has a good mix of punishment and sexual acts. And i love that you can pick what girls gets punished or avoid it entirely if you want. One of the best Visual Novels i have tried so far.
Just noticed this game, will give it a look see...! :)
GTA 6 before stormside next update fr
No Android version? 😭
I keep crashing whenever i try load onto the first computer scene
Do you have any plan about doing Chinese translation
Since I don't speak Chinese, I wouldn't be doing one myself. However, the next update adds translation support, so if someone wanted to make a Chinese translation, they could do that. I imagine quite a few of the jokes regarding things like Hikari and Sasha's broken English would stop making sense though.
question for dev for curiosities sake
regarding the scene you couldn't render, what gpu do you have? not that I've ever done any rendering my self, but i can't imagine it would take a ridiculous amount (more than 8) for these?

大作，剧情生动诙谐，衷心希望能早日完成。
Liking this game a lot. My knowledge of British slang is pretty good, Spanish language countries varies a LOT and only know a few variations, Japanese and Russian non-existent, best I can do is read a menu using my alphabet and their words. Bellend ... is that really unisex? Very rarely encountered it, took way too much time screwing around on bike tour, and never got farther north than York because of time of year.

Is there going to be an android version?
Hey
i kinda fucked up my game xD
What i did:
I wanted to see what the last possible save-page is, so i first went left on the sites, to see if i skip from Autosaves to last page. Since i didn't, i wanted to use the page feature on the top right, missed the little minus and just tried to go to page -99 accidently
The Problem now:
The game crashed while trying to reach that save page, and whenever i try to get into the menu now it still tries to get to savepage -99 (i guess) and just instantly crashes. So i also couldn't make just a new game and safe there, it always crashes the moment i right-click to get to the inGame-Menu.
Do you think there is any possibilty to fix this?
There should be several ways to fix this but the best is to delete the most recent saved games found it both the <game location folder>\Stormside-v0.23.1.4-win\game\saves folder and duplicated in the users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Renpy\Stormside-1640885091 folder. This way you will not loose every save but just the one you do not want. If this fails you may have to delete all the saves and start a new game. This should work.
It worked! Only had to delete the recent Saves
Thank you very much!!!
If someone else ever also manage to fuck up like that
the username folder had a ...\AppData\Roaming\Renpy... in between
Again, Thank you Merlin!
Awesome game I can't wait to see the new versions of the game, it's original, and with smooth animations, one of the best games I've ever played in this category, congratulations. and I hope that in the next updates there will be more lesbian content

Eternum ... crosses a lot fewer fetish lines. I think the humor there (and here) is probably more accessible to non-native English speakers.
it's not, like the dev said, similar themes, as a fan of both games i enjoy them as individual games, and to the dev, keep up the good work! cause this game has SERIOUS promise
Really looking forward to the next update. I think, I've taken every route that I can currently, really enjoyed this one
is this game still receiving update
Yes, it just takes a while. If it ever gets abandoned, I'll be changing the description to reflect that, as well as disabling patreon and all that stuff.
I hope the game doesn't get abandoned, i have played a lot of story games like this but i have to admit that this one is the most amazing one i have played
¸me too bro best game i have played in a long long while
i had tons of renpy errors one after another when i tried to change my name in one of the in-game phones apps it got to the point where i just had to keep hitting rollback constanly otherwise errors would keep showing up
Are you able to get a screenshot of one of these errors?
are you still updating this Atemsiel?
Yes, it just takes a while. If it ever gets abandoned, I'll be changing the description to reflect that, as well as disabling patreon and all that stuff.
yeah i get it and btw good game
is there no download for android
Not currently. I hear joiplay works, but I'm unlikely to be making an official android version until I'm able to go full time. For this game, it's not as simple as just pressing the "Build android version" button, unfortunately.
Also created an account just to say this is great.
Not particularly experienced with AVNs, but this blows the few I've played out of the water.
Great work, Atemsiel.
Had to create a account just to comment on this one. Awesome game ( and i`ve just played a few hours so far )! Great and diverse characters and it made me laugh quite a few times so far. Realy looking foreward for the rest of the story and my subsequent playthroughs. Keep up the good work!
Best AVN i've played in a while, wondering where to get update news/ if theres a timeline for updates out already somewhere. Keep up the good work :)
Really fun characters and great story. Can't wait for the update
Hi @Atemsiel,
I have trouble launching the Mac version of the game. I try of course setting the chmod +x on the Stormside file before but still. I get some python error in Terminal :
Do you have any idea? Thanks by advance.

Okay, thanks for the reply though. :)
Must find a way to play your game… >.<
Have you figured out how to get it to work?
I did… I downloaded the Mac version from F95Zone… (not the Mega, the GDrive I think). Once I chmoded the file (like always for VN on Mac) it worked like a charm.
And I really like the game, quite funny and sexy.
How do you tell which file you need to chmod? When I open the MacOS folder in contents, there are many files.
I am stuck at arriving at Stormside. I have clicked through the conversation with Dad and nothing happens.
I have scrolled back and redid the conversation and held D, and get a txt doc that says infinite loop. I then tried again still no luck.
The phone still has a flashing light on it as if I have messages but have clicked all of them.
Any ideas I am missing? It seems like a great game so far with lots of interesting content to come.
Oh yeah, this is fixed in the next update, but for now if you get this bug you can fix it by enabling the renpy console (You can google how to do this) and then part way through the text conversation with your dad, open the console with shift+O, then run the below command (Case sensitive, enter exactly as written)
messageCount = 1
After that, close the console and continue as normal, and it should let you play.
When I download the Mac Version it just says can't be opened.
same here !!
We want an android version for this pls...
Not ideal, but one option is to use Chrome Remote Desktop, or Sunshine/Moonlight.
(The latter being a little more complex to set up, but also notably better due to the full screen. Remote Desktop leaves a border and doesn't scale to your phones resolution.)
Is sunshine/moonlight an app?. Also, does this work on android if we download a file as in chrome desktop
Sunshine a host client for PC and Moonlight is the app for your phone that you'll use to connect it.
Whichever you use, you're just streaming the game from your PC to your phone.
Both let you use your phones touchscreen as a track pad to control the mouse, and there are various shortcuts for other function, like 3-finger-tap to bring up keyboard.
On that note, probably also a good idea to download the Hackers keyboard app if you go the sunshine route, since the native smartphone keyboard doesn't have things like Alt+Tab, F11, etc.
Edit: Sunshine/Moonlight also offer the benefit of being able to stream more mainstream games and use a controller that's connected to your phone, either via Bluetooth or USB.
woah! I didn't get the full picture of what u r saying since this is all new to me. But I'll get this.
And I Thank You for ur time.🫂 Appreciate it.
No problem!
Final recommendation that just occurred to me, you'll want your PC hardwired to your router unless your WiFi is 5g+high upload speed.
Using 2.4g will be too unstable at anything but the lowest resolutions.
This also only applies to Sunshine/Moonlight.
Remote desktop isn't all that demanding, but there are no video quality settings or anything like that, and as mentioned before, it's not ideal for gaming, and frankly really doesn't work with games that require more than mouse input and an occasional key-press. Stormside would be okay, but GTAV, Minecraft, or any other "real" game would be nearly impossible to play with it.
When will the update be available?
They do long update cycles. So I wouldn't expect an update super soon. But it will be coming, roughly the 5-6 months is coming up
Should be in a span of this month or sometime later on. Like the guys said dev cycle is 5-6 months sadly.
really love this game, looking forward to future updates!
