I'm curious about how far you're actually dipping into the VN side. Sandboxes have the fatal flaw of lack of consequences. Choice based VN's are a stack of jenga blocks in which each choice is pulling out a piece. The stories have variation because there are alternate scenes based on past choices. But Sandboxes don't generally work like that. In a sandbox, every scene is viewable and no consequences happen as a result of following every path because the paths almost never intersect. It's why Sandboxes are generally considered lazy from a writing perspective.

I'm curious to see how you're going to navigate that. Because in a VN mode with no harem tag, there has to be consequences when paths collide. Otherwise it's still just a sandbox without the sand.

Side note: Nipple variation. Not everyone likes dishplates, yet pretty much ever girl from the Founders to Haley has them.

We chose the way that the player should see all the content at once, rather than replaying the game 5 times to get the content. This doesn't seem right to us.
We give the player a choice In the sandbox mode of girls he\she likes.
The same principle exists in the VN, perhaps here we will go a little deeper and make "irreversible" scenes, but we are still thinking about it
VN mode rn now in "beta mode", it's not perfect, we know some "not perfect" places and will fix them in the next updates :)

I downloaded the update from the email notification and ran into exception error using my old save. I deleted all saves and started a new sandbox game. As soon as I make a choice to continue or skip prologue, I get the exception error notice. If I ignore it, then it happens again at my next menu choice:

Code: 
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
