Hehe, I remember when we decided to actually implement the Ten route into Homecoming. The amount of times I had to say "No, we're not bringing it back..." while the whole time I was internally like "I'm bringing it back, and improving the writing."
As for if we're planning on implementing others, at this point in time, no (truthfully)...although I do have other things planned for the future.
You could probably base a whole spinoff on Hiroyuki going to work with the Midoriya Carpenter's Guild. The amount of thirst I've seen for some of those characters is unreal.
I know you said you're keeping the nude sprites without any bits to maintain a normalized average size, but are there any plans to have them in the gallery? Or for that matter, just having a sprite viewer with all the various costumes in general?
I'm really in love with this game! I first found this one on the Apple store and just today had to go check out the original. Love how there's much the same as the original, but much is also new and improved! (I will admit I like this version better) I hope Tora gets a revised and better ending tbh... the original end was kinda bland (odd for what's supposed to be the "canon" relationship).
I have to play all again after this update? Or how do i load my save to newer version? And what is that option where you can place passwords? Where i can find them? Patreon?
Will Ten kodori gonna have a bonus route in the game I just wanna know if he's gonna have a bonus route cause if juuchi gonna reject hiroyuki then hiroyuki is gonna choose ten kodori because when I read the other morenatsu novel I can see after juuchi reject hiroyuki after that when he goes to the shrine he saw shun and ten and after he was done praying he keeps thinking about juuchi but he ignore him in he mind after that shun and ten walk hiroyuki home and after shun leave ten kodori stay for a little and talk to hiroyuki and talk that he was very good friend to shun after the conversation of hiroyuki ten kodori leaves after leaving ten kodori feels that he have feeling for hiroyuki and the last part they became lover that the bonus route
Sorry for this I just wanna know if ten kodori gonna have a bonus route Im very sorry!
Ох, мне приятно что вы так подумали, но нет это не мое искусство. Возможно в недалёком будущем я этому делу посвящу время. Некоторые из моих друзей уже занимаются написанием своих стихотворений.
Progress is slowly coming along. A lot is being adjusted for this coming build, but at the same time, real life has been causing a few slowdowns. However, when the next build comes out, I'm certain people will enjoy.
Tatsuki, Juuichi, and Shin are done. I believe this update is taking awhile because they were working on Kounosuke next, and they completely reworked his route. They have a link under the heading "Project Development Status" with a spreadsheet showing the most progress of each route.

They got rid of them. They're going to be implemented in the game itself whenever they release the next update. But I don't expect that for quite a while considering it's been half a year since the previous one and they're a team of volunteers.
I was actually thinking the next one would drop relatively soon. I think it was supposed to be a significantly bigger update than the last couple times, and they were 3 and 4 months apart. 7 to 8 months seems about right.
Hi there! I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag". The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's. but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all. Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support? Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them. Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)
By default, the Renpy engine has support for self voicing (press V on the keyboard at any time to activate it) and controller support for the vast majority of cases. In my experiences testing the controller support, there are one or two menus that don't play well with it and may need a mouse to navigate, but moment to moment gameplay is completely accessible with a controller.
Ah, thank you for the reply! Just a couple of follow on questions then if you have the time... :) You mentioned controller support but is their any keyboard support? Most severely blind people do not own controllers, as most games on consoles are not accessible, most of us exclusively use the keyboard, with some mouse users sprinkled throughout.
Also, does your game include any "alt text" labels on important images? Are visual indicators for control status' also shown in text? Both of those things are very important for a truly blind accessible game.
Definitely don't want to give the wrong idea here. I rely pretty heavily on the engine to do the heavy lifting for accessibility features, so there's no "alt text" labels or control status indicators. Keyboard support seems to function exactly the same as the gamepad support, meaning you can use arrow keys to navigate menus and press space bar to confirm/proceed to next dialogue, but certain menus are still going to require input from a mouse.
Gotcha, thanks for giving me the low down. :D I think I'd call this game partially blind accessible then. If their is some way you could note that in the description, I think it would help people. Thanks!
Heyyo! I downloaded the game three months prior only to play it yesterday, and gosh, how amazing it was—exactly how I remembered it from the original I played years ago. But still, there's one thing that bothers me. Why do all NSFW scenes in the game only show black bg?! (/QAQ)/ Do I have to meet certain conditions to unlock the CGs, or is it just simply not available in the game? It saddens me every time I play a specific route of a certain character, especially Ten Juuichi's route, only to find that I don't get to see those ~steamy~ scenes in the end after all that trouble I went through. His route is very special to me and will always have a special place in my heart. So, if there's anything I can do to unlock the CGs, please tell me. (I'm very desperate rn) But if there's nothing I can't do about it and the scenes will remain in black bg, then I understand. (T~T)
Btw, is Version 11.01 the last build of your game, or will there be more to come? (O3O)
Oh thank you so much for the info! Just got back from work and have been thinking about it all day. Now my soul can rest assured by knowing this. Thanks again for the reply, good stranger! \(>w<)/ <3
The sole reason every single team always want to do a Remake of Morenatsu, apart form the atrocious writting of the original and stuff that only works in Japan, is because Tora never had his route.
That will probably be the last route.
I don't remember if they are re-writting the story or using the original script (which I do remember is not the best story ever written) or if it's a mix of both, but I do know writting anything takes a long time.
Tora's route will be completed last. This is because his route intertwines with others, and certain conditions will need to be met in order to get his perfect ending.
I just finished reading through this once and I already feel like i need morenatsu re-revisited. The way game focuses on friendships and fun time actually makes romance especially touching, making you feel loved and supported (even though in reality lucky bastard is Hiroyuki). If it's anything this game inherited from original one, I can easily understand how Morenatsu inspired so many people. Maybe it'll become sort of inspiration for me, too.
It's a project I've been putting off for a very long time to play. And for nothing. The story of my acquaintance with Morenatsu began when I found stories about the characters that appear in the novel, I found walkthroughs, but I didn't play the game itself at the time. However, now I was interested in the story of Hiroyuki and his 9 friends, each with their own character traits and their own reason for being with Hiro.
After playing this interesting reimagining of the game, I decided to check out the original. And I will say this: the remake is better. Yes, it's true. I liked Homecoming better than the original. The reasons were as follows. Firstly, I didn't like the drawing of many of the characters in the original, such as the gaggle of Thor or Shun, who sometimes looked, to put it mildly, strange. Secondly, the plot. In the original you only have one interaction with your friends per day. However, many of the moments added in the remake reveal the characters more successfully, as was the case with Tatsuki, who was given more action than in the original. And besides that, Hiro is different. If you've played the novel, you know what I mean, no spoilers in this case. Let me just say that this change helped the game avoid problems with certain people.
Of course the game has a downside - sometimes the characters' relationship bar to the protagonist bugs if you rewind when you've chosen the wrong option, because then this bar will just stay and disappear. There are no sprites for many of the characters, but the second one is a nag on my part. But even with that, the game is gorgeous and I really hope it will be appreciated someday.
Hello. What about Kounosuke's route? I haven't heard anything about it at all. So, I want to ask you. Anyway, thank you for your work, this novel is great.
Kounosuke's route will be the next one to receive its full release, which should be next update. We don't have an ETA as to when this will be however, so we please ask for your patience.
I have to wonder why y'all didn't let us rename the protagonist like the original did when y'all also made it so you have the option to make him a furry for some reason. Mind you this isn't a complaint, just am curious.
That's because we didn't want to make him a cookie-cutter self-insert like the original Hiroyuki, because it led to him being bland and very inconsistent. Additionally, given that many of Hiroyuki's friends use nicknames, it would be too difficult to program it in properly if we allowed for changing of the name, it was decided not to allow him to be renamed.
Considering I’m posting sneak peeks of features I’ve added to it on my Twitter, am working on content, etc… yes, it’s totally dead.
That was sarcasm, just in case it wasn’t obvious. please bear in mind that we are releasing the rest of a character’s route with each update. In addition, this is a passion project that we’re working on in our free time, and Dzahn and Devilizer have Santa Lucia as the primary project, so that takes up time too.
what happened to the route guides? They were available just a week ago or so, now I can’t seem to find the images with choice helpers. Or are they being updated to match some new content?
ahh, ok. Had a feeling there was probably a good reason just was curious. Thank you all for your hard work! Wish I had experience relevant to helping somehow, but.. ah well.
I've only done one route so far (Shin), but everything is just so well done! Usually I pick things like this up and put them down after getting bored, but I genuinely can't wait to explore more of the characters. Everyone is so distinct and unique, I'm really impressed despite it being in an incomplete state. I can tell a lot of love goes into this game - take care of yourselves!
Totally same. And it feels like we get to connect witb the characters a bit more than the original game. Or at least a little differently. Have enjoyed both versions

I heard bonus routes are not gonna happen? Is that true or are the devs gonna finish the game first?
They already have a bonus route for Ten Kodori in the game, so they're clearly not completely opposed to them.
Hehe, I remember when we decided to actually implement the Ten route into Homecoming. The amount of times I had to say "No, we're not bringing it back..." while the whole time I was internally like "I'm bringing it back, and improving the writing."
As for if we're planning on implementing others, at this point in time, no (truthfully)...although I do have other things planned for the future.
You could probably base a whole spinoff on Hiroyuki going to work with the Midoriya Carpenter's Guild. The amount of thirst I've seen for some of those characters is unreal.
I know you said you're keeping the nude sprites without any bits to maintain a normalized average size, but are there any plans to have them in the gallery? Or for that matter, just having a sprite viewer with all the various costumes in general?
I'm really in love with this game! I first found this one on the Apple store and just today had to go check out the original. Love how there's much the same as the original, but much is also new and improved! (I will admit I like this version better) I hope Tora gets a revised and better ending tbh... the original end was kinda bland (odd for what's supposed to be the "canon" relationship).
I like how the artsyle seems quite modern yet pays respect to the old artstyle. I'm probably gonna play this after I finish the original.
Yeah, picked that one up after build 12's release. It's already fixed for the next build.
Let's see they make about two releases in one year. Each release have about two to three parts. I guess it will be 2-3 years until they complete it
I've downloaded the latest update but juiichi still only goes to day 15 before it says End of Demo? Can anyone help please?
you entered on a unfinished route, just play another route, it will pass after day 15
Is there a way to hide the text box on mobile? I know there is on desktop, at least.
Have you found passwords in the game yet? I myself have not found :(
Anyone know where I can find route guides? Thanks in advance.
When you finish a route you get access to its guide in the gallery
ah okok thanks again
Can I use the benefits of guides in the game even though I am using App Store version?
Yes. I made sure the guides work in-game in the mobile builds as well.
nice!!! But how can I get them ? Are they free? Or should I be come a patreon? And thanks for answering , been waiting for it
I have to play all again after this update? Or how do i load my save to newer version? And what is that option where you can place passwords? Where i can find them? Patreon?
You unlock passwords as you go through the routes I believe
guys , where can I find the guides for this game? Because I read that the studios have it in there website but I can’t find it
Is this final?
Hello! May I ask?
Will Ten kodori gonna have a bonus route in the game I just wanna know if he's gonna have a bonus route cause if juuchi gonna reject hiroyuki then hiroyuki is gonna choose ten kodori because when I read the other morenatsu novel I can see after juuchi reject hiroyuki after that when he goes to the shrine he saw shun and ten and after he was done praying he keeps thinking about juuchi but he ignore him in he mind after that shun and ten walk hiroyuki home and after shun leave ten kodori stay for a little and talk to hiroyuki and talk that he was very good friend to shun after the conversation of hiroyuki ten kodori leaves after leaving ten kodori feels that he have feeling for hiroyuki and the last part they became lover that the bonus route
Sorry for this I just wanna know if ten kodori gonna have a bonus route Im very sorry!
If I recall correctly, they actually have a bonus route for Ten in the game. Getting it requires you to get one of the bad endings for Juuichi first.
Брошу в записках мысли
Вдруг их кто-нибудь найдёт?
Эта жизнь, как ледник
Успей кинуть в бокалы лёд
Свидание с тенью сожалений
Меня дома ждёт
И даже в вашем
Муравейнике я одинок
Ты лети, лети, лепесток
Cквозь запад на восток
Взмывая выше облаков
Найди хоть там покой
Я слышу: для меня поёт
Хрустальный небосвод
И вижу, будто сон
Твой полёт и их исход
Расти и процветай
Будет нелегко местами
Воля — стержень, он из стали
Разлетайся лепестками
Стань моими глазами
Дай надежду, подай знак
Собрав все силы в кулак
Я поборол свой страх
аплодисменты. 👏
Прошу прощения, в этот момент я искал утешения после нахлеста эмоций от данной новеллы, встретил его в этом отрывке песни и решил поделиться
оу, ничего.
а я подумал, что это стихотворение, написанное вами. х)
Ох, мне приятно что вы так подумали, но нет это не мое искусство. Возможно в недалёком будущем я этому делу посвящу время. Некоторые из моих друзей уже занимаются написанием своих стихотворений.
How's progress going on the new update cuz I'm excited
Progress is slowly coming along. A lot is being adjusted for this coming build, but at the same time, real life has been causing a few slowdowns. However, when the next build comes out, I'm certain people will enjoy.
Take your time! Slow steps does the job! Im looking forward to this upcoming update!!!
wait are there any fully done routes or are they all in development
Tatsuki, Juuichi, and Shin are done. I believe this update is taking awhile because they were working on Kounosuke next, and they completely reworked his route. They have a link under the heading "Project Development Status" with a spreadsheet showing the most progress of each route.
does it have all the original routes done at least?

Thank you, JTablian. 🤍🤍🤍
I cant find the "perfect route guides" from the page and the link. Somebody can help me?
They got rid of them. They're going to be implemented in the game itself whenever they release the next update. But I don't expect that for quite a while considering it's been half a year since the previous one and they're a team of volunteers.

There will be CGs, just not now... They will work on the CGs after all the characters' routes are finished.
And there're definitely more builds for this game (the next build will be Kounosuke's route)
Oh thank you so much for the info! Just got back from work and have been thinking about it all day. Now my soul can rest assured by knowing this. Thanks again for the reply, good stranger! \(>w<)/ <3
has "No Screen Flashes" as a setting.
this is officially the best game i've ever played.
Can we get at least one Tappei's scene? I simp him so hard
is tora's route complete
Of course not.
The sole reason every single team always want to do a Remake of Morenatsu, apart form the atrocious writting of the original and stuff that only works in Japan, is because Tora never had his route.

oh okay I did have a question about which routes are completed at the moment?
The current completed routes are Juuichi, Shin and Tatsuki. Kounosuke's route will be the next update.
oh okay thank you for telling me
Where can i see the routes guide?
Route guides have been removed from online as they require adjustments, but they will be made available in-game as of next build update.
I just finished reading through this once and I already feel like i need morenatsu re-revisited.

i wanna do all the routes and as i see it's almost finished i'm eager to discover the rest of the routes especialy kyouji and kouya
(btw maybe you will be happy to know you have a fan in france ^^)

I took the guides down as they will not only need to be updated, but they are being added into the game for next release.
