This is an amazing game . But can someone help me out when I first log into the computer in the game and we reach the stream my screen just freezes and I'm unable to progress .
If you send me the save file, I can try to fix this manually. With that info, it's hard to diagnose. Best way to do it is discord, though I'm rarely in there these days. I'll keep an eye out for a few days though.
is anyone else having problems actually playing the game, like it downloads and the intro screen pops up but then it immediately goes away and that's it nothing else happens
I have no idea what causes this. My assumption would be antivirus killing it, as some antivirus programs have been known to strike down renpy games if they include certain python stuff. My game has a bunch of stuff like that, so sometimes it can happen. I'd suggest creating an exception in your antivirus software for it any trying again. No malware I promise lmao
Like others I am stuck at arrival at stormside, but the workaround doesn't seem to work for me. I edited the renpy-textfile, opened the console and typed messageCount = 1 left by pressing escape, but nothing changed. I tried different things, like restarting, doing it during/after the texting. Any ideas?
I would never in my life think, that I would be interested in the story of a porn game, but this is a fucking amazing story. The porn is good yeah but the writing, it's magnificent.
the whole fucking horror game aspect with the ghost hunt threw me off but let me say this the whole ghost bit can be a game by itself i yearn it reminds me of the point and click horror games i'd play in school
I've played outlast, I've played layers of fear, I am a huge horror game fan and horror movie fan; but let me tell you none of those will compare for the main fact that it doesn't go from a Pron game all lovey Dovey sexy whatever to this I am like just sitting here dumbfounded
I really liked this game. I loved the designs, animations and gameplay. As a scene completionist, I struggled a bit with which options to choose. I'll hold off on this for now and stick with the route I built in my game and leave trying other options later. A very good game without a doubt, I enjoyed every moment.
While I'd love to just say "not currently" the actual answer is just no. Not because I have anything against female protagonists, but more just because it's not right for my game. It would require such a massive rewrite that it would basically be a totally different game at that point. As just one person it's not really something I'd have time to accomplish by myself. If someone wanted to make a female PC mod or something and make the necessary changes, sure, but I'm not planning to do anything like that myself.
Bruh this game is actually hella good tbh, Its actually like the first 3d type VN that I actually paid attention to the story. I've just finished it in 1 day but now im attached to it lol. Good stuff man.
Hi, I keep getting stuck on Day 4 when the main character arrives at Stormside and gets the texts from his dad. After that, it doesn't let me do anything, but also doesn't crash. There's no further texts and gameplay does not proceed. Pleas help
Excellent work. i played stormside and enjoyed it a lot. The art is excellent and girls are very pretty. This game has all of my favourite themes like male domination, bdsm, and blackmail, and it does not have any of my disliked elements, such as i dislike Weak MC, Extra Large Boobs (which is very common in hentai), and dark girls. The story is interesting, but lacks clarity. The MC goal is to train girls at an academy to be obedient to their superior. MC is ordered to do this by the sponsors of the academy but so far it is not clear what the sponsors want. The MC personality is also quite inconsistent, because initially he is introduced as a simple, kind and friendly person who cares a lot about his family and female friends, then later when he makes choices like punish a girl and spank her, it does not really suit his initial personality. His dominant choices would make more sense if he was betrayed by a lover or multiple lovers in his backstory, then he will have a clear reason to mistreat or dominate a girl.
Overall, i really enjoyed this game. i first played the romance route, then submission and then slave route. My favourite scene was about Akemi offering herself to get spanked instead of her sister. That scene was very hot. it had very interesting and reasonable dialogue where the mc tried to anger her and manipulate her through careful planning. very hot.
i played this game on my smartphone y9 prime 2019 with 4 GB Ram, using joiplay and renpy plugin. it worked very smooth but there was one small error where the MC goes to riley when she is waiting outside the basement. The error was easily solved by skip button.
i am looking forward to the next updates. Excellent work creator Atem. Keep up the good work.
I haven't even gotten to the school yet and already love the game so much! I love the humor in this game. I usually get so bored and skip to the fun part in most of these games but I love reading the content and haven't skipped once. Hope you keep developing it and keep up the amazing work! ♥♥
I'm planning on downloading the patch to update my old existing 0.22.06. So I just download the patch and extract it to my regular files and put it into the old game folder in the Stormside game? That will update the 0.22.06 to the current 0.23.1.4? Wanted to makes sure I do it in the proper order so I don't lose my saved file.
I really like this game. A lot of these types of games can be super off-putting for a trillion reasons, but this game is so fantastic in every way. I love each of the characters so much, and I really love what the developer did with the gameplay. There's only so much you can do with a visual novel, but this one's delivered in each aspect. I'm very excited to see where it goes next!
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.

Same thing here. Game freezes, won't respond. It's a shame because it's a great game.
is anyone else having problems actually playing the game, like it downloads and the intro screen pops up but then it immediately goes away and that's it nothing else happens
I'm having that aswell but when I just close and re open it works
not for me i sometimes have to force quit the game because it doesnt work
I have no idea what causes this. My assumption would be antivirus killing it, as some antivirus programs have been known to strike down renpy games if they include certain python stuff. My game has a bunch of stuff like that, so sometimes it can happen. I'd suggest creating an exception in your antivirus software for it any trying again. No malware I promise lmao
love the game and story
dose any one know when the next update will be
Like others I am stuck at arrival at stormside, but the workaround doesn't seem to work for me.
I edited the renpy-textfile, opened the console and typed messageCount = 1
left by pressing escape, but nothing changed. I tried different things, like restarting, doing it during/after the texting.
Any ideas?
I would never in my life think, that I would be interested in the story of a porn game, but this is a fucking amazing story. The porn is good yeah but the writing, it's magnificent.
if you like a good story check out games by caribdis. that guy knows how to make a good story

Im really sry if im annoying u with this question but would u give out an Android Version in the future?
just here to say im early in the game still enjoying it and loved the stickman figures. . . :)
Any plans to have the option to make the PC female?
While I'd love to just say "not currently" the actual answer is just no. Not because I have anything against female protagonists, but more just because it's not right for my game. It would require such a massive rewrite that it would basically be a totally different game at that point. As just one person it's not really something I'd have time to accomplish by myself.

Just found this game.
I like it!
I'm looking forward to where the BDSM scenes and story goes.
and ouch, that .23 cliffhanger... getting bushwhacked is worrying!
I haven't even gotten to the school yet and already love the game so much! I love the humor in this game. I usually get so bored and skip to the fun part in most of these games but I love reading the content and haven't skipped once. Hope you keep developing it and keep up the amazing work! ♥♥

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?
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.

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

Needless to say, you should definitely check out Stormside! I had a blast.

you end up liking it?

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

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. My understanding was that (literally) it meant dickhead.
