Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting to like this game as much as I do now. I kinda just read it as something light, but then… end of current update! I kinda frowned, rolled eyes (the usual), and followed advise to read through other routes. And it's incredible. Different perspectives are used so well to show player Sihai and world around it from different angles. And route characters! First impression about them was kinda like "oh, so it's just *insert-word-to-describe-a-pattern*", but the more you read, the more you understand all these characters have past and it's not so predictable. And upon my returning on this page I'm seeing a status update! My hopes about this are so high right now, they might as well be in the clouds.
New devlog on the current state of the game and all my plans for the relaunch, plus some extra insight into some of the changes coming to Sihai. If you're interested in what I've been up to, please check it out!
I'm doing well enough, been getting some work done on the next update. I've got some pretty big news about something real important (it's Jorge), but I need to clean things up some before I make that announcement in a more public setting. I'll be posting something to twitter about it within the next few days, though!
Let's see... at the point that the F2P version is, I think the closest you get to You Know What with Alan is the gloryhole scene? I think his route is lacking somewhat in the saucier options for the moment, but I want to make sure each route is nicely saturated with you know what :-)
Mostly because it was a massive issue to maintain, same with no longer being able to pick the MC's gender. In the end, I picked the MC that I (and many others, since I took a poll and all) felt best about and updated that to higher standards.
Great game really enjoying it! Is there a route to get with the Polar bear or the green dragon (doctor). Just wanted to see if the options are just Shen, Paul, Jehu, Alan. Or are there other routes depending what you choose?
Thank you! The routes right now are "just" Jehu, Paul, Alan, Shen, and Jorge yeah. Even though that's the case, I still plan on having some fun content for side characters (especially Eiji! He's very fun to write)
Hi I have the 8.2.1 version but the jehu road ends on 19 day, for those who also have the patreon version do you have the same problem as me or am I the only one?
(Don't worry) Yes the day starts after the choice but the update ends after the visit of Isxxx and yet I am only on day 19 whereas in the update note it is written 20 th
Oh! I think that might be a small bug I forgot to address where the number doesn't change. It should go from 19th -> 20th at the top right, but unfortunately I kinda goofed something up and it winds up showing the 19th again. The contents of the 20th is the day where Isaac shows up, don't worry!
so when your able to pick your body type in the game, was that a test thing to see what people would like or was it something to test what the main character would look like, but if im considering this it was probably just because you haven't decided on what his body type would be that version of the game.
Originally it was just something I wanted to have, letting people pick what body type they felt worked for them. Unfortunately, it wound up being far too much work on top of not feeling right to me as the main character's, well, character progressed. :B I don't know if I'll be bringing it back or not, but chances are that MC'll have a more defined, singular appearance.
ok i thought it something among those lines, because it would be little too much work. Oh i have another question its about the art changes well in the 1st update or when the game first came out. why was the art so different it looked a little more...anime?(well the art on the main menu should sum what im talking about, im weird) well im bad with words but it was totally different then what i saw when i played that time. So what happen to that art style, was it commission or someone was your character designer. but now that i think about it the main title screen the art also different that time too. whats with all of that
The art was originally done by my friend Daxhush and much of it was commissioned. However, he couldn't continue being the project's artist due to issues involving costs, investment (both time and money), motivation, and the sheer scope of this project. I think it was a little over a year ago now when I had to take over as the artist for Sihai :B
When I enter the game, it shows 'show basic menu' and the whole game is frozen . I cannot click anything(such as Start,load...). I'm using android version
hey its me again (the one who wants to fry up a certain bird) , but i did not think this vn would turn out so good, left me with alot of questions thanks i hate it .
Heya! Just picking this back up after a couple years away. Really enjoying myself thus far!
I'm sure it's been asked a ton of times, but how many "Infamous Rest Area Bathroom" scenes are there? I see there are a TON more than the version with the previous art style. Ha. So far I've found ten. Did I get 'em all? :)
Ahh. I must have missed one. I've basically been doing permutations of different choices and I must have run through like 50 different combinations of choices for stuff. Guess I'll try a tiny bit longer to find the last one! Thanks for the reply.
As a bit of a hint: the 11th character (that you may or may not have seen already) is a little less likely to be there than the rest of the characters. It's not based on what decisions, however, it's randomly generated from the moment you decide to go to the gloryhole!
Ah! That's good to know. I thought there were hidden values based on choices, so I've been cycling through past saves and making slightly different choices each time. Ha. This should make things easier. :) Thanks a lot! And kudos to you for taking on the art yourself. I know it's probably a huge amount of work tacked on to what you were already doing, but the art style is super charming! I look forward to seeing what comes in the future
Thank you! It's always nice to hear such kind words, especially about such big an undertaking. I've got a lot in store (like "talking" sprites!), so that'll be something to look forward to o/
There's (apparently) an issue with the android build where the menu won't show up as it should. I'm not sure what causes it, and it seems to not be consistent from person to person. The "show basic menu" thing SHOULD be a crude fix, which should allow you to access a basic version of the menu on mobile devices by tapping it. I hope it works, but I'm not entirely sure if it does. I don't have an android device myself and emulators can be finicky, so... well /shrug
I'll just hope it works! If you haven't tapped on it already, please do. If it doesn't... er, if you can play it on computer, please do :-D
It has, yep. There's a whole host of reasons behind it, but the chief one is that it was simply far too difficult for me to deal with it on top of everything else.
The next update (Shen!) is going to come out today, but I've caught a cold or something and am feeling quite under the weather. I'll post it later in the day, sorry for the wait!
Welp, that's silly. I have day7_Jehu labelled as day7_jehu, even though every single other label (at least, as far as I'm aware) has the name capitalized. I'll re-upload the versions to fix this as soon as they get done compiling!
I'm not sure how embeds work on here (if they do) but I'd recommend reading this tweet. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the next update is going to be late.
That said, if you all are ok with it, I would like to wait until October 1st to post the next update. If you all will allow me until then, I will be updating a handful of sprites and introducing the coveted "dong toggle," which will let you swap, say, dragon dicks to human ones.
it goes Jehu > Paul > Alan > Shen > Jorge, then I skip* an update and repeat the cycle
*the "skip" isn't so much a skip as it is time to work on other things for the game that are often unrelated to any specific route. As an example, the MC update recently was during one of these bonus updates!
Nope! That was a couple of weeks ago. 5.1.1 adds Jehu's July 14th to the game (and fixes a handful of issues with MC not appearing properly sometimes). I'm making things more consistent around here, so 5.1.2 will drop on August 1st with Paul's July 14th!

Hi iglootheraptor hope you are doing well, any news about whats up to come, the best of lucks...
I'm doing well enough, been getting some work done on the next update. I've got some pretty big news about something real important (it's Jorge), but I need to clean things up some before I make that announcement in a more public setting. I'll be posting something to twitter about it within the next few days, though!
Is there a way to get it on with the day right now besides the glory hole scene? I'd love to see more of those two together~
Not between MC and Richard, if that's what you're asking. If I remember correctly, there is some dad content between Jehu and Paul though
darn thats a shame, I was hoping for some more fun between father and son, seeing the glory hole scene got me really hopeful
yeah thats silly and hot
How do I do you know what with alen
Let's see... at the point that the F2P version is, I think the closest you get to You Know What with Alan is the gloryhole scene? I think his route is lacking somewhat in the saucier options for the moment, but I want to make sure each route is nicely saturated with you know what :-)
Why can't we choose our body type anymore? :(
Mostly because it was a massive issue to maintain, same with no longer being able to pick the MC's gender. In the end, I picked the MC that I (and many others, since I took a poll and all) felt best about and updated that to higher standards.
uh paul what happened to your sprite
nice face
Ah, apparently I forgot to actually move the images folder over. I'll fix that in a moment
Great game really enjoying it! Is there a route to get with the Polar bear or the green dragon (doctor). Just wanted to see if the options are just Shen, Paul, Jehu, Alan. Or are there other routes depending what you choose?

(Sorry for the late reply!) I just checked and it should be moving onto the next day as it should.)
If it ends right after the choice about the door, then I think re-download it. If the problem still persists, I'll look into it some more
(Don't worry) Yes the day starts after the choice but the update ends after the visit of Isxxx and yet I am only on day 19 whereas in the update note it is written 20 th
Oh! I think that might be a small bug I forgot to address where the number doesn't change. It should go from 19th -> 20th at the top right, but unfortunately I kinda goofed something up and it winds up showing the 19th again. The contents of the 20th is the day where Isaac shows up, don't worry!
AH OK in the end it's just a bug, thank you for taking the time to answer me. Also could you give me a clue to get the shower scene? ^^
Pick the beer, but don't pick Isaac at the start of the day :y
Hell yeah! Jehu update boi
The app force closes on the menu
"There was a problem parsing the package"
On android plataform (android11)
That's odd, maybe try reinstalling? (If you haven't already)
I did, and still doesn't work
so when your able to pick your body type in the game, was that a test thing to see what people would like or was it something to test what the main character would look like, but if im considering this it was probably just because you haven't decided on what his body type would be that version of the game.

oof but i think you improved on the art.
When I enter the game, it shows 'show basic menu' and the whole game is frozen . I cannot click anything(such as Start,load...). I'm using android version
Very odd :x tapping the "show basic menu" should let you access what you need in order to play the game. Maybe try re-installing if that doesn't work?
Sadly, reinstalling makes me run into the same situation again :(. I cannot tap the 'show basic menu' either
Ack, that's weird. I can look into it, but I don't have an android myself to test things out on :[
Maybe you can try android emulator on pc? Sorry for your inconvenience! qwq
For some strange reason, it's not letting my play the July 16th days in either Jehu, Paul, or Alan.
That's odd. Maybe re-download the file? I just ran my build and downloaded the F2P build and it worked fine
I tried re-installing it and it worked, Thanks!
hey its me again (the one who wants to fry up a certain bird) , but i did not think this vn would turn out so good, left me with alot of questions thanks i hate it .
Thank you, I think
sorry if it seemed mixed feelings, i just meant that i love your vn, and i am in questions is all.
Yep! Every 5 updates, I take a break from the next day that would come in the cycle. The next update will come out January 15th
(I do it this way so I can reduce potential burnout and get the chance to work on things that aren't specific to anyone's route!)
hi, a question, the MC its a human ?
nope! The MC is a wolf guy who looks like this:
His default name is Alex

There's 11 in total ;) but I'm going to make more sooner or later. My goal is to have one for every character with those bits in the game!

Why is it that i can't play the game? I opened it and all i see is "show basic menu"? Is it bugged?

It doesn't allow me to tap on anything :v, that suck
D:
Has the PC's gender choice been turned off? I don't get an option, and it automatically makes the PC a male.
It has, yep. There's a whole host of reasons behind it, but the chief one is that it was simply far too difficult for me to deal with it on top of everything else.
The next update (Shen!) is going to come out today, but I've caught a cold or something and am feeling quite under the weather. I'll post it later in the day, sorry for the wait!
In case anyone is wondering: the "waterpark update" has come out to patrons now! You can see a few screenshots from it via my twitter, here:

comments under your game page doesn't notify anyone following you, you should probably make a development log so as many ppl knows
I really love the new Shen's Spirite!! It giving a majestic, honorable, and yet gentle vibe!! Truly comforting!
Thank you!! I'm glad to hear it :D
Is today Shen's day ? :^)
It is! I'm working on uploading everything even as I type this
woaw wasn't expecting an update so soon
I try to stick to one every 1st and 15th, but I won't be home tomorrow :y I hope ya like the early update!
Mm, Paul got that... CaKe.
I can't think of a truer sentence~
heya what's the next route you'll update ? Do you have a fix order ?
it goes Jehu > Paul > Alan > Shen > Jorge, then I skip* an update and repeat the cycle

As a heads up, the next update will be on August 2nd instead of August 1st. I apologize for the inconvenience!
No worries king
loving it so far. keep it up
thank you!
When will the Jehu update be released?
About 5 hours ago :P
Oh, I thought the update there was the new different body shapes of MC...
Nope! That was a couple of weeks ago. 5.1.1 adds Jehu's July 14th to the game (and fixes a handful of issues with MC not appearing properly sometimes). I'm making things more consistent around here, so 5.1.2 will drop on August 1st with Paul's July 14th!
Oh. I see. Can't wait to see what Paul's update will bring! :)
its me still wanna fry that bird
why fry him when you could fly him
Is this game have s3x sence?;-;
yeah
thank you
you're welcome!
What's new in 5.10? There's no dev log.
Ah, my bad. I'll update it with a dev log now
Thank you! :)
