I am writing this comment with utmost reverence. Nowadays, quite a few creators are solely intent on敷衍sponsors and are eager to make money effortlessly. In such an environment, it is truly astonishing that there is someone who spares no effort to remake the game in order to ensure the coherence of the game's plot. This kind of dedication and responsibility towards the work is indeed invaluable. This game is truly a masterpiece and holds a supreme position in my heart. Its script is exquisitely crafted, with a plot full of twists and turns and rigorous logic. Every detail is handled to perfection, drawing players deep into the game. The character portrayals are vivid and well-rounded. Each character has a unique charisma and growth trajectory, leaving a lasting impression on players. The rendering effect is even more stunning. The delicate and realistic picture quality creates an immersive gaming atmosphere, making players feel as if they are right in the game world. It has been several months since I played Episode 4, yet those wonderful plots and vivid characters still linger in my mind. Moreover, I sincerely hope that a Chinese version can be added to the game, and AI technology can be employed to polish the text, so that more Chinese players can experience the unique charm of this game. I noticed the mention of Episode 4.5 in your article, and the version I am currently playing is 0.4. At the end of this version, Ekio is sitting alone on the ground, drinking to drown his sorrows. I wonder if the version I am playing is the latest one. I sincerely hope to receive your reply as soon as possible.
Yes the Episode 4 that you played is the current last version.
Ep4.5 (rework) will advance the story in some areas, but probably not enough to call it Episode 5 (hence why it's named ep4.5).
I'm not going to use AI for any translations, if I do add translations it's going to be properly made by a person ^^
First and foremost, I'm extremely grateful that you've spared the time to respond despite your hectic schedule. I've delved into numerous games featuring shoddy AI translations. Initially, I didn't perceive any issues since those games generally lacked engaging storylines worth perusing attentively. That all changed, however, when I played your game. Upon going through your articles and some of the comments you've replied to, I was astounded by the game's ingenious design. Each choice holds the potential to impact character favorability and subsequent plot progression. Regrettably, due to subpar machine translations, certain sentences became rather convoluted and difficult to fathom. As a result, I had no alternative but to switch to the English version and rely on translation tools, along with my modest English proficiency, to navigate the game. I found myself constantly ruminating over sentences, attempting to decipher their true meanings. Nonetheless, I remain thoroughly captivated by the game's immersive narrative experience. The reason I brought up the use of artificial intelligence is that I've played several games where AI was employed to refine and polish sentences post - machine translation. In my view, this approach falls within an acceptable range for many players. Even though some sentences may seem a bit stilted, they don't impede comprehension. Given that you've mentioned your recent financial hardships, I believe this could be a viable solution (naturally, it's not obligatory. It would be wonderful if it can be implemented. I'm truly enamored with this game).

really good game i say , also Avis is very cute
I want you can add Chinese.It's very hard to translate.Please
As it's a non-harem game, will the other LIs still remain close friends with the MC even after you're on a specific route? Because a mistake I think many AVNs like this do is make the other LIs treat the MC basically like a stranger if you're not on their path. Which kinda becomes a disservice to the characters.
Yes!
That's one of things I'm trying to improve on with the current reworking as well. At the moment, you can say Mc is friendly (and doesn't seem to be a reason not to continue) with Avis/Koko/Raiko, but much less so (depending on choices also) with Serena, Levy, Valentina and Eiko. It was a bit unclear from my own previous writing, but it should be showcased a bit better in rework.
So yes, MC will be friendly with all of the girls throughout the game and continue interacting with them, and some choices/pathing will be slightly shrunk to better portray it (like removing not tripping thief which locked you out of any meaningful Levy talk for 2 updates).
Can't figure out how to get that Soo-Ah scene.
You have to do your best to showcase you are available and partially ignore Koko.
If not enough of a hinting, read following guide:
Enter Normal -> Jump in with your story -> Correct her and say you're not in a relationship -> Let the reason linger -> Glance at Soo-ah -> ask Soo-Ah -> Ignore it and go to Soo-Ah
Game is crashing on Avis when on the beach. Choosing her over the other two and it crashes while talking to her. Also a bunch of saves were deleted.Never mind it was harddrive related...
Routes too complicated. I have done seems everything for one girl and still ended with like 30/60 points with her at the end. Never been fan to redo over and over 90% scenes just to see rest of 10%
I'll disagree, but for multiple reasons, and here is why.
I'll assume you mean Avis, as she has 61? max points, with next closest being Raiko/Koko with low 50ish. Sure, seems you missed a ton of points, and honestly, surprising amount, unless you continuously change who you interact with, in which case that amount seems perfectly fine. If you, however, focused most on the choices on her, and ended with that amount, then yea, you obviously made some mistakes along the way, and that's on you then.
If you, however, feel unhappy due to going for multiple girls, and only having on Avis that many points, and are feeling left out (missing content)... Then not only is that an expected result (as a non harem game) but also, incorrect (in current ep4 version!). The highest amount you need on Avis, to view ALL of her current content/extra dialogues, is 24. 24/61 total. That's not just low, that's imo generous, and I've been (for the most part) intentionally been generous with how many total points you actually need to view any extra bits, besides some rare cases (like Soo-Ah who is a side girl anyway).
Edit- Of course, however, in future Ep5+ trying to branch out to too many girls all the time, AND doing incorrect choices at the same time will lead to more and more missed content, as it's intended
¿Español?
No
does non harem dating sim mean i can only do one girl and then i would have to replay the game to go for a different one?
Yesn't!
In the long term, only one girl route yes. But in current 4 episodes (and even further in future) you aren't penalized for going for all girls. Just the longer you are undecided (and going for everyone), the more points you will lose, and odds of losing content with a certain girl will increase.
Eu estou contando os dias para a próxima atualização desse jogo magnífico
Please add Soo-Ah as one of the main girls. Thanks.
Can i ask why does it always crashes when i open it?, is it because my phone isn't compatible with the game or the game is the problem?
Sorry, that's unrelated to me then. Unfortunately sometimes renpy games just won't work well on androids. I can only suggest the boring answers such as "try reinstalling" 😥😥
If you get the same issue (crash) with other renpy games that are 1gb or bigger, then its likely phone itself being too underpowered. If it's random which does or doesn't, it's still phone, but more of a general issue with renpy games and their apks.
Oh ok thanks, might as well upgrade to a new phone by the time i get a new phone maybe the game well be completed.
mine almost never crashes on renpy games so yeah it really depends on your phone
Will there be a sort of "points indicator" in the game at some point? Like what AVNs like Eternum and MBIML have. Because I've tried to get all of Raiko's RP multiple times but I'm always at least 3-5 points off total. And when there are so many choices throughout the story, there's really no way to figure out which ones you chose wrong as you don't get any indication until the very end.
Unfortunately no, I'm not a fan of such measures in games with tons of choices (like mine) as players often spend too much time double checking each of their choice if it was "correct". Which can even lead to "incorrect" choice, as sometimes something might give you points only later (like if you ask something someone, and then later you mention it again showing you remembered. You might get points only after, not on initial questioning)
However, the points screen that is currently only at the end of the game, will be shown after each update now. Meaning, instead of one shown right now, there will be 4 times the screen appear (one for each of the current episodes). That should already help a bit with guiding the players ^^
I love the game so far and just recently finished episode 4, but I was wondering if its possible to get more point for Avis at the moment. I did a second playthrough and only got 31 point whilst focusing on doing the best options for Avis. Please let me know if there is, or if the story is not made for her yet
You can see total max points possible in a single run for each girl at the very end of Episode 4 screen. Although, beware, I think some girls had wrong points displayed (by like 1-2 points off due to my mistake)
Download seems to only be episode 4...
Yep, last update was indeed Episode 4 ^^
How do I get 1-3?
Episode 4 download contains all previous stuff too ^
So far I haven't seen any erotic yet or h_ntai things (if it has those) which means that this is almost perfect because I always came for the story.
Hey sorry if stupid question or it's already answered but i just read the latest progress report is the game getting reworked from the beginning? As i haven't tried the game yet but should i wait or just jump in? cheers!
Yep! But honestly go play it. There is still quite a while till it's released, and if you don't like the current content, you won't like the reworked either so no need to wait ^^
But but but... I Just started playing it now, welp once you started it you have. To finish it.
Hopefully in the future animations will be good, because their absence is embarrassing.
If you played episode 4, and the amount there was "embarrassing", then I'm afraid it will continue to be so and this and many other similar games might not suit you.
会加入中文吗？
I'd appreciate if you or anyone else could ask in English, as that's the only language I can answer with, even if google translated.
At the moment there are no translations ingame, but I do plan to have some in future. Chinese translation might be one of them.
I am looking forward to the arrival of this day！！！😁😁
Wait wait wait.... before Hoping are there any virgin girl/woman? (As it is my fetish for some reason to prioritize them first before the others.)
My memory isn't great, but I'm almost certain that girls 3 and 5 in the banner at the top are; if not more.
Again, it's been a while and my memory isn't great, but my gut and what I do remember about them say they at least are.
Thank you very much that's good to know.
It seems that there's a War ongoing on the comment section em'ma grab my snacks and read before playing this game.
支持中文 bor？
This game is very well made, well done dev. I cant wait for the next chapter!
Thank you! Glad you liked it ^^
Sorry did the game updated? Do I have to download it from the browser instead of the ich.io app this time? I just need to know. I read only progress report but I believe what's shown in the info box should be correct?
No, there is no update yet, if you played ep4 from a year+ ago, that's the latest ^^
Hey Dev! I just finished my first playthrough of Fates Collide and have been enjoying it a lot. I love the balance between the main plot surrounding MC's average college life and the subplot surrounding what's going on in Ardoria. I won't mention specifics here because spoilers, but I've been enjoying the mystery and intrigue. I have theories about what's happening and who's involved. It's so juicy and I can't wait to find out more, especially from Avis' perspective!
I don't normally leave comments but I felt it was important to give you feedback about some of the language you use in the game. There were a few derogatory terms in episode one, namely "f*gsquad" and "r*tard," that took me by surprise. I decided to brush it off and continue reading, but then you used "r*tard" again, plus "l*me," in what I'm pretty sure is episode four. It makes me extremely uncomfortable to see these homophobic and ableist terms used so flippantly, and in ways that are obviously intended as insults. They're not at all necessary to the plot or context of the scenes they're used in, so why use them at all?
The repeated use of slurs is concerning and off-putting to the point where I don't want to continue supporting Fates Collide if it keeps using this type of language, which would be a shame because I can see how much hard work you've put into this game, from the writing to the renders and animations to the music and sound effects. I wanted to ask if you would consider editing the slurs out and refraining from using similar offensive words in the future?
I hope you understand I don't have any ill intentions with this comment! Like I said, I've been genuinely enjoying this game a lot and want it to be the best it can be. Thank you so much for all your effort in creating Fates Collide! Hope you're enjoying the new year and taking good care!
So I have some good news and bad news for you.
The good? news is that just by reworking the game, and some tweaks to the dialogue and script respectively, the fag comment Simon used was/is already removed prior to any comments here. I can I guess somewhat agree that one wasn't necessary, and with the beforementioned comment on slight script tweak, it was already gone months ago.
I've quickly skimmed through both old script and the reworked ones (so far that's done at least) for retard, and it's used in only two cases in whole of 4 episodes. Both used by Avis, and both, imo, absolutely fine in context. One to Falazio, in a joking manner as they know each other, and one where she raged in an online game and totally lost her shit. I'm not going to put a filter on her, as in both cases I felt it was completely in character.
The post above makes it seem like it's used constantly and in degrading manner, and while I can somewhat understand, especially in the age we are, I also try to make the characters feel alive and human, and sometimes human also means using words that someone might find inappropriate. Is "moron" also not okay now? Because nothing else would fit in the context she used.
The last one however I'm truly shocked. Lame???
I've just spent time asking people, trying to find at least someone who could tell me what that could be, as I've never ever heard that or used in any such instances. Lame is an absolutely normal word, that I'm using in (copies oxford dictionary) :
"(of something intended to be entertaining) uninspiring and dull"
I'm absolutely going to continue using the word lame in future, I'm not going to shy away from using regular words just because someone somewhere uses it for slang or something else.
If anything, going on a wild chase now and googling for so long the origins of the word lame, was quite lame.
I don't understand why you had to get defensive and disrespectful at the end when I already said I wasn't coming from a malicious place. All I did was offer feedback and ask a question. I wasn't forcing you to agree with me or do something against your will. It's your game, you can do whatever you want with it, and you don't owe me anything.
Just because you've never heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm not sure how you didn't find it, but Google reveals plenty of information about l*me being a derogatory slur rooted in ableism. Its original meaning, taken from Oxford as well, is:
"(especially of an animal) unable to walk without difficulty as the result of an injury or illness affecting the leg or foot."
The "uninspiring and dull" definition only came into existence after people began using it to discriminate against disabled people. Language evolves over time and, as of the present day, words like l*me and r*tard are in fact ableist slurs.
I could continue explaining the history of these words and their evolution into slurs, but based on your response, I don't think you're open to it, which is fine. I accept your decision to continue using such language in your game and will move on. Thanks for the reply and good luck.
I think Kat explained it pretty well.
- Told you what would and wouldn't continue.
- Explained why it is used and in what way
It's a couple of words, that really aren't bad. They aren't meant offensively. And even if it was, there are movies that have people say things like this or worse. It's the character.
Ya your acting sorta lame right now... kat is busy enough already....
its ADULT GAME!... Censorship is retarded anyways... (Kat if i went too far, my bad) but.. I stand by it...
Kat, it would appear that you are having to deal with the worst type of censor, one who feels that if something offends them then it must be changed and shouldn't be allowed for anyone. I find it amusing that simple language like "fag" or "retard" offends them while engaging a AVN site. Seeing people hump like bunnies is not a problem, but a word or two is the end of the world.
BTW, retard, moron, and idiot are medical terms. As for the term fag, it is a contraction of the word faggot. The definition of faggot is a bundle of sticks. The word was then contracted to fag and used as a reference to cigarettes. Later it became a derogatory term for a homosexual. The fact that someone wants to apply one interpretation to a word while ignoring or discounting the other meanings speaks more to the people doing the interpretation than the word itself. Maybe a different word like hypersensitive would apply.
I know that at this point my 2 cents won't add much but I'll approach this from an extremely dumbed down perspective.
It's an NSFW title which most people use as visual stimulation with, I'd say, a pretty good chunk of players also vibining with the story as it's well made. Words being appropriate or inappropriate in a given context really doesn't matter as it should be just simply ignored or IF it needs to be pointed out it can be done in a better way than it was this time. The silent majority of your game's players come here to well.....cum here and those enjoy the awesome visuals on their own without even bothering to go through the dialogue options further than "this will/will not give a scene in a few dialogues."
All in all, words are just words which, ESPECIALLY in a game akin to this, should be taken with a heaping spoon of salt if not ignored altogether.
Mate, in today's world you just have to decide if you're going to conform completely, only as much as you personally feel is necessary, or not at all. To worry any further about is only going give you a headache. One can never please everyone and attempting to do so is an act of futility.
I hope whatever you choose you can be happy with. It's a great piece of work so far. Looking forward to its development.
Did u just censor lame
Its an ADULT GAME
Whoa Whoa Whoa !!! And I gotta tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything. Down to the last minute details. 🤤
Question, if I want to try and get full points on a character, does that mean that I have to get the characters as low as possible? I know that you would want to completely focus on that one character, but would you also need to avoid all other characters? Say I'm trying to go for Raiko, since she appears decently late compared to most of the other characters, would I need to distance myself from Koko, Avis, and Levi before I even meet Raiko?
No?
I don't see why you'd go to such distances with how the game content was presented 😅 . You can try your best and get as many points as you can with other girls too. The most important part on staying on a girls route are the points you get through interactions, but also very rare (and truly obvious) moments where you can for example choose not to kiss someone/or ignore their advances. But those only appeared in the very latest episode.
Thanks for the reply!
Animations are almost no, but the game is very good.I want more scenes with animation, and so the game top.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year KatanaVN.
I love what you have done with the game so far - so many interesting twists and turn - cant wait for the next update.
I wanted to ask - is possible to get a perfect score for any of the girls in the current version of the game (FatesCollide-0.4)
For example on the final screen were you recap your current scores for each girl - the highest i have been able to get for AVIS was 45/61 and 37/51 for KOKO.
Thanks for making such a great AVN - your story highlights that you can create highly engaging content, without having to have sex scenes every 3-5 minutes. It makes it more rewarding if you can build you relationship with one of the girls to get to that point.
Merry Christmas right back at you!
Yeah, you can get perfect scores, more or less one per girl (so let's say max Raiko points in one run, but nobody else max points in the same run).
Well, Avis and Koko might have their points wrong, I remember making a mistake somewhere in counting for them so if you ever got -1 of total, you prob maxed them out. The rest should be correct.
Hello, how many episodes does the game currently have?
I got to Levy's scene, that's the current ending?
Four episodes, and yup, ends with Eiko/Levy bit ^^
For me, this game is up there with 'Acting Lessons'. And 'Being A Dick'
For me it is ALOT less about the sex then it is the story. Forget screwing every girl and going home smiling to yourself about your harem. THAT DOESNT HAPPEN.
I want actions and consequences. Forget a harem, if you get with a girl and then fuck someone else, there needs to be consequences. Guilt , anger, jealousy. Heck even panic when the side chick says "we need to talk"
I want the game to make me feel something. Even if it is nothing more than guilt over choosing one girl over another.
This game makes me feel. Maybe not as DEEP as i would like yet... but i still feel.
Give me elation - give me guilt - give me panic - give me consequences!
I feel this game is only going to get better from here on.
Please don't disappoint, Katana!
I hope I won't disappoint! :D
So far, so good! In fact, i've been inspired to try creating my own.
Although mine is entirely text-based, as I simply cannot afford the price or hard drive space for HS2, and I can't understand how one is supposed to use Dax.
Also i can't draw, so not sure where to get character head shots for my characters bio images...
One step at a time, i suppose...
Point in all this being to say I appreciate the time and effort you are taking to create this and all the choices and sacrifices you must be making to do so.
Hi! I have a whole lot of free time on my hands, and I was thinking of trying to create a walkthrough for the current episodes (1-3). Would you want/not want me to do this? Are there things in development that would alter the game and make it so the walkthrough would be inaccurate when they are released? If everything will work fine and you're ok with this, is there any specific way that the game calculates the relationship points for each character other then "a correct dialogue/action selection adds X amount of points"?
Hey there!
There is quite a few things regarding this so lets address each part.
First of all, definitely no point in you making it now, as episodes will be quite changed in the rework, same as I told to anyone thinking about translating it now.
Secondly, I used to have walkthroughs (both a pdf doc and an ingame mod) but I dropped them both for multiple reasons. I prefer players playing it by themselves without any help to properly try stuff out and see what influences what, as it always brings me joy when someone goes "wait, you had X say that here? For me she never appeared!". Now this is also kind of hypocritical as I play some games with WTs myself, but my view still stands.
The bigger "issue" however is related to how much WT mod/pdf says or knows. With this I mean that some choices could have much later impact. With this I mean that although rare, there can be circumstances where when I write dialogue I go "huh, would be fun if you saying this much earlier would make her react a tiny bit different now", say MC remembering a girl talk about something before and chiming in, and her appreciating that. So I might have a value the game tracks, but we don't know (including me!) that later that could lead to lets say +1 relationship point with X girl.
And that's why I stopped myself, felt weird for me to make my own dev approved WT, yet later on, someone following my own guide could end up missing a point or two, purely bcs I get some idea in future how to use a previous choice for extra dialogue etc.
Overall, those are reasons why I'm not that keen on them at the moment. Didn't want to write a simple yes/no so hopefully this explains a lot. And yes, it's mostly that (correct answer +/- points) in addition to those very few and rare future points (sometimes if MC does the same choice, you might get/not get points depending how many you have in total with that character).
Got it, in that case I won’t make it. Thanks for the reply!
what is the current version on patron?
same as here 0.4
ok thx
The game looks really good at the moment and as i am typing this, i am only halfway through the download and i really hope this game is as good as people say it is
This game is dead. Excuse after excuse each report. Like many other AVN's, it hooks you in only to be a grift.
Thanks for the new, unknown word to me, I'll try to add it to my vocabulary!
Just as a litte heads up, progress is shown in these reports...
have Chinese？
Not at the moment, no. And please Martian language comments ^
I loved your game. We are waiting for the update!!
Thank you!
