Just... like me and alex2011 Have said, despite JJRobbie's proclamation, Out of touch isn't lighthearted at all. Nor is it really anything like Lessons in Love. There's some not so great stuff that happens in it.

I can't help you with what you're looking for, maybe School of love: clubs? But there's really not too many "lighthearted" vns unfortunately.
Definitely a different kind of dark than LiL. I would say Winds of The Destiny is probably as lighthearted as it gets with VNs created using Koikatsu. I could definitely suggest other lighthearted VNs, some that are more lighthearted than anything suggested, but none of them are Koikatsu based. Most are in one of Illusion's more photo realistic style games like Honey Select, Honey Select 2, or Sexy Beach Premium Resort.

JJRobbie if you're fine with that, I could suggest Glassix, which has more of a sandbox play style to it and is made using the third of those three photo realistic games I listed. There's also Harem Hotel, which has pretty good writing, is more of a VN like this, and is much more lighthearted, this one uses the original Honey Select.

No, it was a good like, 2 hours at least.
Got to them actually reuniting, searching while they're out shoplifting, etc.
So you only got through the portion that was originally done in Renpy before they converted.

Later chapters of the game got a little more ambitious and moved beyond what Renpy could do well, which necessitated a move to a custom Unity engine.

I see, I haven't played it for some time and, in fact, I think the tab in my browser is still marked as the original Renpy engine version since I still need to refresh it after my last forced restart because, you know, Windows 10. I haven't played in a while and it was in Renpy the last time I did. The only reason I even know it converted is comments. It is unfortunate they couldn't do what they wanted in Renpy.

puzzles... that is a very optimistic look for what those are. not a complaint or dislike of them. Just those are not puzzles. flash card memorization is more like it.

If any modders read this, you could create a hint mod like so:
1) write a web scraper to get a list of event triggers from the wiki
2) apply a topological sort on the directed acyclic graph of event dependencies
3) add a ui to display the event triggers for all events that the user can currently complete
*cough*

That should more or less meet your needs (though it doesn't at all work the way you describe under the hood).

I mean, those could technically count as a type of memory puzzle.

The first part is in response to complaints over events like "There Is Nothing," where there were answers in previous events, people didn't pay attention to the text or write down information that should have stood out like Sensei's password, and then proceeded to complain when they got stuck because they didn't have the answers they either weren't paying attention to or completely skipped over because they are skipping text.

The second part is due to the fact that this project is now larger than the bible in word count and this count is continually increasing. I have no doubt it will reach or surpass "Remembrance of Things Past" by Marcel Proust, a book with a whopping 9,609,000 words. That's about triple the current latest example he has surpassed, the bible. This game has several more years of development to go, so we have several years to see this happen and each release makes a pretty significant leap.

And a grand majority of it is Sensei's monologue.

I believe so, yes. I would actually have to go through and break down a word count into sections based on whether it was in a monologue or not, which is kind of tedious even compared to a basic word count of the whole game.

love story so far just hate why when story got the worst part MC face just no emotion and what happen about his eye is fucking disgusting MC face just kick me out from story everytime
That's just how player Sensei is, he's designed so that you do hate him.


I'm sure it's a patreon perk as long as you can get yourself to Texas. Probably one of the high tiers though (like at least $30 a month)
Probably more like $100. :p

Oh, nice. Looks like in the next update we're going to be dealing with the fallout if the previous one. Rin, Molly, Tsuneyo and Niki events.

Time to see if he continues to dig the hole deeper just because he can, or remembers he's better than this.

Fitting that character screen in-game tried to remind him as much.
I fully expect him to start taking advantage of Molly's heartbreak, possibly even going so far as to enlist the hopelessly naive Tsuneyo as a wingwoman

Rin content could go either way -- he tends to be a bit better around Rin, so maybe he'll be supportive and encouraging for a change.

really looking forward to the Niki content, those are always great, and since they always seem to meet over food, hopefully we'll see Kaori as well.

I think Selebus has just revealed the true reason Sensei is so sought after.
It's not the fact that the resets help make the girls adapt to whatever personality he has or because he's pretty much the only male in Kumon-mi; it's the inner monologue.
Brb, gonna inner monologue in front of my friends, maybe I'll be happy.
