Thank you so much from Brazil i see you're a developer with a non-binary mind,if you're feeling adventurous do a route for the Squirrel Girl (forgot her name now it's been a while since i played your game) which can make Ben a bisexual guy and it can appeal for the straight players too like me (i am either that or bisexual nowadays i'm more attracted to girls) too i also want Chris and the other guys route and i see many other people want too,i'm up for anything visual novel games with all options like Under The Bridge and Echo are my favourites!
Can I please name all the music playing in the game? Or at least the one that played at the moment where Ben allegedly has sex with Brian, I don't remember which chapter it is, she really sunk into my soul ehehe..
I know Ben doesn't remember much of his nightmares/dreams, but he dreamed of Hernandez's death. He had a nightmare of being called to jump down to his death and then start floating down a river...... Not to mention the bridge scene from before. There were quite a few death messages from other characters too. I don't doubt that the suspicious person Zach saw may have had something to do with it (perhaps the white cream colored coat is a clue). However, since Zach heard the call, perhaps so did Hernandez and perhaps that's all it took. I know Chris looks sus with him having been held up, but I know he didn't do it. Since he apparently dreamt up Hernandez's speech, I'm surprised he didn't ask anyone if any of what he heard was true... Did she secretly join a group every year? Was that her favorite location? Was she on the board for its conservation? There was no way for him to have access to that information if it is true. I suppose that would just freak me out more, but at least I'd know I'm not entirely crazy, idk? My name is Ben, and I speak to the dead, or rather, they speak to me.
I have a question Why is the extra content (music, images, concept arts, etc) available only in the Patreon version? Isn't stuff like that usually free to see? (since we already see those images and hear the music in-game, why is it paid to explore them in the gallery?)
They need income sources too and no, this is a common source of money. This is only fair. They are working hard for their patreon members, including us who are enjoy the story without any purchase.
I also respect that. Imagine they are giving everything free is like they have no safety behind their backs. Since they made their vn with commercial purposes getting money, means they have some safety like copyright things, so the vulture people can't steal their stuff.
So i have a question since it's been a while, does russel is still getting his own route? Im not talking about when (i'd assume main routes will be finished first) but more about if its still happening ^^u
Hmm.. do you need to open up some space on whatever your using? I've had that issue a couple times so I deleted a few things, then tried redownloading and that seemed to work for me lol (you might have already thought of this so plz don't hurt me 😅)
Not weird at all, It's got some great music!! Also I see you comment a lot on this game, must be really enjoying it lol. I don't blame you though because honestly me too, deheh
Omg.. For real though!! Like I just want to reach through my phone and give him a good couple of slaps! Why Ben?! Your supposed to be one of the smart ones!! But you gotta admit that this rollercoaster is one heck of a ride! Hahaha
Ben is not even written to be a smart person, he's very misguided that some of the main cast calls him out on it. Does he change throughout the story? I don't think so but I'm kinda hoping there would be a trajectory with his character where he ends up becoming an anti-villain of sorts, it'd be different to see that.
While I agree that he's not the smartest, I do believe he's supposed one of the smart ones (in my opinion at least). Maybe not school smarts, but some of his insights and ways of thinking along with his daydreaming habits tells me he puts a lot of thought into what he does. He doesn't always necessarily act on them, or think about consequences too much, but he does at least think about them. To me that seems like he has the capability, but who knows lol maybe I'm not that smart either 😅
nice storytelling as always but I have a question. Is Kane gonna have a route or at least a side route because that wolf man deserves some more screen time and some love.
Can't say I know for sure at this point. He's definitely a lot more popular than some of the alternatives in the side cast, but it was never my intent as a developer to have love interests outside the main cast. I'll admit I'm quite a fan of the wolf myself, so we'll have to see how things develop and grow over time before I make a decision one way or the other on this topic.
aw snap I wasn’t expecting the developer himself to reply, I’m honored lol. But please do consider it down the line. I would love for Ben to start a relationship with Kane. Plus you did say you like him too so please make it happen.
Okay, at this point, I have a hell of a lot of questions. One of them being: On the 15th and 30th of September, what's the song that plays when that lady gets... er... offed in an alley by the Red Cloak?
pls make russell a love interests but as a secret route since some games have a secret route like Camp buddy with Tyga but as not so Secret too pls pls do this for the people who has the hot for him
(on Android) I can't seem to find the install dir. Usually, apps are installed in "Main storage/Android/data/" When I install an update for a VN, I manually copy the saves to a temp location, and insert them again. I can't really do that here. Probably it's installed in data, but with a generic name I won't spot, or know to search for :(
When you insall an app, it should appear in the notification bar. Clicking on it from there will automatically send you to either : install the said app, or to update if you already have it pre-exisiting in your phone
No I use a third party file browser, standard android apps do not give you access to the filesystem. My fault though, the "Android\data\santa.lucia\" folder is not generated before you create a savegame file, and I hadn't done that on this install (I forgot).
I know I could just install it on top of the existing, but that doesn't always work, and I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks anyway :)
I've always done the approach to update apps / VNs on top of their exisiting apk, and it almost always has worked without issues. Should I stop doing so ?
Mobile apps are designed as complete packages, not as incremental updates. I would never install an application on top of an older version, as you don't know which files are kept, and which files are replaced. The creator must really be vigilant when creating a new installer, and mistakes happen. Obviously, we don't reinstall windows whenever there's a new update - which is every 5 minutes these days, but that's created differently. To give you another example; When you update your GPU driver, you would prefer the "clean install" option, to make sure all relevant files are updated, and no bad mix of old and new files exist.
Since I can't be sure.. I'll always remove the app, before installing a new version. Often, removing it will not removed the save game folder, but sometimes it will.
i really love the characters, and the story is well paced depending on each route,i really recommend it, you can feel there's lots of love and effort put on to it ! again, i recommend!
Is there a neutral route in Santa Lucia? Or is one is intended to be? I would love to appreciate the story with the friends and mentors casts, or maybe if we can stop a route during the story idk... I'm not sure if this seems clear enough
Minor Spoilers of chaper 13:
I'm thinking there is because of this CG of day 13 in the game page, where we see Ben alone watching the sunset. Or, this is not supposed to happen, and a love interest would join him in the CG
I've been juggling the idea of making a neutral route that focuses just on the main plot for those who aren't interested in the romance content. Just a concept right now, but we'll see if there's enough demand for something like that.
When's the new update coming out for the public and not just patreons because I can't wait much longer I want to know what's going to happen once Zach finds out that everyone that he has invited to his party came

Thank you so much from Brazil i see you're a developer with a non-binary mind,if you're feeling adventurous do a route for the Squirrel Girl (forgot her name now it's been a while since i played your game) which can make Ben a bisexual guy and it can appeal for the straight players too like me (i am either that or bisexual nowadays i'm more attracted to girls) too i also want Chris and the other guys route and i see many other people want too,i'm up for anything visual novel games with all options like Under The Bridge and Echo are my favourites!
cant wait for the update
Can I please name all the music playing in the game? Or at least the one that played at the moment where Ben allegedly has sex with Brian, I don't remember which chapter it is, she really sunk into my soul ehehe..
We all need a ManyMarco in our lives...cuddling is amazing.
Spoilers/theorycrafting crazy person:

I love this story so damn much. Playing through the most recent update at the moment.
I have a question
Why is the extra content (music, images, concept arts, etc) available only in the Patreon version? Isn't stuff like that usually free to see? (since we already see those images and hear the music in-game, why is it paid to explore them in the gallery?)
Because
Money
They need income sources too and no, this is a common source of money. This is only fair. They are working hard for their patreon members, including us who are enjoy the story without any purchase.
I also respect that. Imagine they are giving everything free is like they have no safety behind their backs. Since they made their vn with commercial purposes getting money, means they have some safety like copyright things, so the vulture people can't steal their stuff.
So i have a question since it's been a while, does russel is still getting his own route? Im not talking about when (i'd assume main routes will be finished first) but more about if its still happening ^^u
Russell is getting his own route however the Patreon goals routes will be started on after the first main three are finished
huh? for the first time i cant download the file
ive always been able too before
Hmm.. do you need to open up some space on whatever your using? I've had that issue a couple times so I deleted a few things, then tried redownloading and that seemed to work for me lol (you might have already thought of this so plz don't hurt me 😅)
forgot to say all i did was restart my pc and it worked
sweet I'm glad that worked for you! 😁
Is it weird that sometimes I'll open the game, load a save, and then just listen to the music?
Not weird at all, It's got some great music!! Also I see you comment a lot on this game, must be really enjoying it lol. I don't blame you though because honestly me too, deheh
Ack...
Guilty as charged, eheheh...
I'm loving this story and it's characters so much!! But... Ugh... If Ben isn't pissing me off right now.. smh
Omg.. For real though!! Like I just want to reach through my phone and give him a good couple of slaps! Why Ben?! Your supposed to be one of the smart ones!! But you gotta admit that this rollercoaster is one heck of a ride! Hahaha

I saw "Last played 1 year ago" and I was like TF! but I remembered that its now 2023 happy new year all!
nice storytelling as always but I have a question. Is Kane gonna have a route or at least a side route because that wolf man deserves some more screen time and some love.
Can't say I know for sure at this point.

Love the game so much I have the lyrical version of saliena and the flying rat as my phone ringtone
Okay, at this point, I have a hell of a lot of questions.
One of them being: On the 15th and 30th of September, what's the song that plays when that lady gets... er... offed in an alley by the Red Cloak?
This makes total sense now. 😮😂
(inhale)
S-so...September 19th on Bryan's route, amirite?
Okay, so...
How do you know my life beat for beat, and have written Nate to be exactly me?
exactly they just knew exactly what i would want personally nate is my favorite
Alright, listen up! (slams fist into Stormsinger's desk) Please give us more interactions with the panther mentor. Please, I am begging you
HAHAHAHA Be nice 🤣🤣
We're so close to the answer. 😫
How tall is Carlos? He looks looks taller Bryan and Nate.
Carlos is the tallest member of the main cast.
i got to say pls make one of the characters like yandere
Anyone else who cant stand Karina? Anyone who knows a Karina IRL.😂
She goes through more more men than I do with water!
How the hell does that happen!?
me honestly she is almost exactly like the karina in the game it's strange
I already like Russell
And I just started.
...........What the hell do I do?
Russell or Chris? Who do I pick?
pls make russell a love interests but as a secret route since some games have a secret route like Camp buddy with Tyga but as not so Secret too pls pls do this for the people who has the hot for him
You're in luck because after the first three routes get finished Russell is getting a route along with Chris and Zach!
Where did they say this?
They reached the Patreon goals for them several months ago

It may have to do with the android version.

Thanks anyway :)
If I may ask, why wouldn't you recommend it ?
I've always done the approach to update apps / VNs on top of their exisiting apk, and it almost always has worked without issues. Should I stop doing so ?

That's my opinion anyway :)
Thank you for explaining. I see now 😁
Ah yes drink pain killer with soda, and then drink ice coffee, i wonders how can he still alive lol
i feel like this is the type of horror where you actually the murder lol
I mean the first nightmare in the plane said ben feel happy looking at that genocide dream for some reason
So split personality or something like that maybe
Just finished patreon version and wooooow. Really wondering if brian gets jelaous on another guys who are gonna sleep with ben
i really love the characters, and the story is well paced depending on each route,i really recommend it, you can feel there's lots of love and effort put on to it ! again, i recommend!

That should be interesting! A story more focused on the characters aside the love interests to learn more about them, if the team feel audacious!
It took me 55 hours to finish one route and i can say that this game is truly a masterpiece.
Is any route done now？
no
question
which path is avalaible ?
All
I have a question,
Can you delete the previous apk files if you have the newest?
I am able to do so on my tablet. It should be under "files".
When's the new update coming out for the public and not just patreons because I can't wait much longer I want to know what's going to happen once Zach finds out that everyone that he has invited to his party came
Theres one update per month.. everytime on the first day of the month
I just love this game..
