I'm not sure, because I'm taking on another creative project at the moment. I'll try to work on it between that, but if I had to guess, maybe in a few months.
I must say I was a bit put off by some art I saw at first, but I accidentally saw some screenshots of the VN on twitter (thanks garrus :P) and I ended up trying it out. I'm not really big on volleyball or sports but I like this marcus fellow :p
This is strictly my two cents, perhaps others disagree. I notice on your patreon page you are offering side writing projects for increased tiers. This could actually turn people off and have them not be patreons. Because now they're thinking about how time will be spent away from the project they want to see progressed. I've seen with VN porjects, picture galleries and decision polls offered for higher tier. May want to consider using those as rewards instead.
Thanks for the feedback. They are voicing commissions, rather than writing, but no one has asked for those things yet. I might consider adjusting the tier with specific artwork and VN content, but I'll have to ask my Patrons first for their opinion.
Good question! There is no NSFW content as of the latest update. If we decide to place NSFW content in the game, we will mention it during the update's announcement.
Hmm...I'm not as familiar with Android, since I don't own any Android products. Does it not download, or can it not open? Did you already have a previous update of the game?
That's strange. I know for sure that many people downloaded the Android version and could play it. If anyone sees this comment, maybe they can give instructions on how to reinstall it properly.
The only other explanation I can think of is not having enough storage on your Android device. Sorry to hear about the issue!
Normally the sandwich is a B L T (bacon, lettuce, tomato) but Marcus and Evan talk about how they hate tomato, and change it to onion instead when they make the sandwich.
Hello. This VN seems pretty cool. I am using an old computer, but skipping is really slow, in the sense that it stutters a lot more than other VNs made with renpy.
Interesting. I did disable timed events, starting with update 3.1, so there should be fewer of those. If there are any events that slow it down besides choices, let me know, and I'll see what I can do there.
hey dirk there is one problem, so I'm stuck in main menu and can't click anything, and i think it's because i recently updated my android into android 11,
this also happens in other renpy vn like i.c.o and lyre, and i already ask them about this bug but, cetrus dev of ico said he can't help since he say he's not much a programmer himself and i don't get answers from developers of lyre but there is some user that have same problem agrees with me that's its because android 11 since his phone is also android 11, this is so weird since other vn is doing just fine in android 11 like tenis ace or temptation ballad so why only you guys that have this bug, then i remember that you help cetrus in programming so i try your vn and since i already have your vn before because i see your YouTube chanel i just need to install and open it but then same thing happens i stuck in main menu and can't click anything
so yeah please dirk help me fix this issue since i really would like to be able to play your vn and ico again
Hi MichaelaEV, I'm testing out the phone version of the game on my computer right now, and I don't see any issues. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the game or a problem on your end. The android version of this game is a universal package, so maybe it could be a problem with android 11.
If anyone else is playing this game on an android, could you reply to this comment, saying if the game works for you or not? I don't have an android myself, so I can't troubleshoot the issue directly.
I have same problem with android 11, I recently got new tab, and some vn not start after install, like Lyre, TSR and now ocean avenue, game crash in menu, didnt find any solution, my tab has only 1280 resolution, my old tab i never updated on adroid 4 worked all but battery is so bad now
Yes! I just posted on the official Twitter account. Update 3.1 should be out within 2 weeks (3 at the absolute latest). We have been reconfiguring GUI layout and will have three fully revamped CG's done for this update!
Thanks for letting me know! I found the issue in the replies, and have corrected the code typo. The game should be re-uploaded with fixed code within the new few hours (since it takes my computer a while to upload these big files, and I also have to update the ones placed in my Patron folder).
le new artstyle ohohoh such a critique~ *licks the screen intensely* The le new artstyle, it became more delicious. Evan and Big Daddy Marcus so hawt and handsum as fok:
The new art looks quite good! Keep up the good work! By the way I don't know if this is a bug of Itch, but the download button doesn't show. Found it strange...
That's a good catch! I just fixed it. I accidentally removed the current update when uploading the Patron early release. It should be fixed now, so you can download it!
I accidentally deleted a comment. For some reason, I only had an "..." for all the comment options and selected the wrong button. Sorry to the user whose comment I removed. They were asking about the next update release.
Regarding updates, update 2 should come out by the end of the month, but it may look rough in terms of art due to the changeover of artists.
I did not feel like I was adequate for continuing the artwork, and it was too much work for me to do in addition to the coding, GUI, and writing. The creators I brought on board are great people, and I think they will do justice to my work!
Did you take the background pictures yourself? Or were they procured from Google? Asking for copyright purposes; some people are dicks about copyright infringement just for the sake of being dicks about it.
I took all the photos myself for that reason. I don't want to use background photos unless they are public domain. We also plan on adding more drawn backgrounds to help match the new illustration / CG style.
I can’t guarantee it yet, but there may be NSFW down the road.
In terms of routes, I am only planning four routes for now, but that may change. Those routes are: Vic, Marcus, Kenny, and Selma. Like I said, the date able characters list may change depending on feedback and my own thoughts.
Hello, Dirk. You may know me as SMR on Youtube. Gotta say that I enjoyed reading your visual novel. The characters have their own quirks that made things funny in every way. Keep up with the good work! :D
Thanks! Great to see a YouTube fan try the game out. I’m glad to see you enjoyed it. I’m currently working on update 2, but still figuring out the release date.
I took away a few of the volleyball matches, and added a small scene towards the end of the update. Nothing too much. Just wanted to get some script revisions in before moving on to update 2.

Whats the gender of the protagonist?
Male I'm pretty sure. I don't see any notion that he's anything else.
I'm really enjoying this and I can't wait for the next update. Anything that has Eurovision and hunky hyenas get an A+ from me!
When's the next update? I want to see more of Vic and Marcus
I'm not sure, because I'm taking on another creative project at the moment. I'll try to work on it between that, but if I had to guess, maybe in a few months.
I must say I was a bit put off by some art I saw at first, but I accidentally saw some screenshots of the VN on twitter (thanks garrus :P) and I ended up trying it out. I'm not really big on volleyball or sports but I like this marcus fellow :p
I just want to know is Vic a option I'm confused
dirk said vic, marcus, kenny and selma are routes!
hey dirk the red panda i play it have some error can you fix it
Is this VN NSFW?
Wait a damn minute, I had no clue dirk made his own VN ._.
Dirk Hi!!!!
Is the update almost upon us?
I'm gonna make a post about it on here, because we're in a bit of an odd situation. So yes, but also no.
Saw the post, thanks for the info!
Oh my god it's Logan Paul
This hurts to read. XD
You gotta admit there's a resemblance
Is it SFW ?
Yes, but we may add NSFW scenes in the future. We will mention it in the description if we do so.
There's no download option.
Ok, is not only me. Nice
So I realized I accidentally left extra dialogue from Day 4 in the code, so I had to remove it, and repost the update. Should be downloadable now!
Yes, now we can. And it's understable

Before downloading it i just wanna know is there any nsfw involved?
Same question
Good question! There is no NSFW content as of the latest update. If we decide to place NSFW content in the game, we will mention it during the update's announcement.
thank you
Sure thing!
I can't install the application and I don't know what to do :(
Which version are you downloading? PC, Mac, or Android?
Android
Hmm...I'm not as familiar with Android, since I don't own any Android products. Does it not download, or can it not open? Did you already have a previous update of the game?
I can download it but I can't install it and it's the game I'll just play it
That's strange. I know for sure that many people downloaded the Android version and could play it. If anyone sees this comment, maybe they can give instructions on how to reinstall it properly.
The only other explanation I can think of is not having enough storage on your Android device. Sorry to hear about the issue!
Do you have some file explorer?
Just one thing: What the meaning of B.L.O.? XD I couldn't find it on internet. And since english is not my native language...
It’s a Bacon, Lettuce, and Onion sandwich.
Normally the sandwich is a B L T (bacon, lettuce, tomato) but Marcus and Evan talk about how they hate tomato, and change it to onion instead when they make the sandwich.
Oh, Thank you! :)
We need more Kenny content!
Wait until you see update 4.0! :)
AGREEE!!

I just saw the new update 3.1 and 3.2 in the devlog and saw Vic's new CG, he's just delicious looking, just perfection.
hey dirk there is one problem, so I'm stuck in main menu and can't click anything, and i think it's because i recently updated my android into android 11,
this also happens in other renpy vn like i.c.o and lyre, and i already ask them about this bug but, cetrus dev of ico said he can't help since he say he's not much a programmer himself and i don't get answers from developers of lyre but there is some user that have same problem agrees with me that's its because android 11 since his phone is also android 11, this is so weird since other vn is doing just fine in android 11 like tenis ace or temptation ballad so why only you guys that have this bug, then i remember that you help cetrus in programming so i try your vn and since i already have your vn before because i see your YouTube chanel i just need to install and open it but then same thing happens i stuck in main menu and can't click anything

You have to uninstall and reinstall it back, and it will work normally, except erasing all save file
Any news about a new update release from the VN? It's been a while...
Yes! I just posted on the official Twitter account. Update 3.1 should be out within 2 weeks (3 at the absolute latest). We have been reconfiguring GUI layout and will have three fully revamped CG's done for this update!
Good to know, can't wait! :)
There seems to be a problem with one of Roger's sprites. It's constantly marking it as missing.
Yeah, the same issue is happening to me :/
looks to be a typo in the file name
Thanks for finding the cause of the error! I'll make changes to the file, and upload them ASAP.
EDIT: It should be fixed now!

Vic looks deliciously hot. Can't wait to see what the next update brings!
I'm working on a scene with him right now! :)
Oh, really? Color me intrigued.
I really appreciate the fact that you used legit pictures of SoCal, it's been super fun finding the locations on google Maps
Thanks for the answer, one more question, are there romance options in this VN? And if so are any of them LGBTQ related?
Yes. Most of them are LGBTQ related.
I'm considering giving this VN a try but would like to know first, is there any NSFW content/scenes?
Currently, there are no NSFW scenes, but possibly in the future if it fits the story (not sure when exactly at the moment).
I watched some of your vids, isnice
Thanks! Looking forward to putting the same quality and interest into my VN! :)
le new artstyle ohohoh such a critique~ *licks the screen intensely* The le new artstyle, it became more delicious. Evan and Big Daddy Marcus so hawt and handsum as fok:
We appreciate the compliment!
The new art looks quite good! Keep up the good work! By the way I don't know if this is a bug of Itch, but the download button doesn't show. Found it strange...

Why is art changing?
I did not feel like I was adequate for continuing the artwork, and it was too much work for me to do in addition to the coding, GUI, and writing. The creators I brought on board are great people, and I think they will do justice to my work!

I took all the photos myself for that reason. I don't want to use background photos unless they are public domain. We also plan on adding more drawn backgrounds to help match the new illustration / CG style.
Ok, just making sure. I've seen games be removed from Itch, temporarily, because of songs, so I imagine it's the same with pictures.
Is this going to be nsfw cause? Also would vic be dateable he's the hottest one
I can’t guarantee it yet, but there may be NSFW down the road.

What has been changed in 1.1? What's the changelog?
I took away a few of the volleyball matches, and added a small scene towards the end of the update. Nothing too much. Just wanted to get some script revisions in before moving on to update 2.
Will Vic be a romance option?
if you ask him nicely ;)
But aren't him and Selma together as in they are a couple? (they seemed to imply that) , this made me sad...
They cloud have her turn heel. Lol Just a thought . she would make a good villain/bully then Vic is ours.
That would be great...
Can the big Hyena hunk be romanced? Does he have a route?
refer to the reply above 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
I like it so far so im gonna keep a close eye on this.
