Santa Lucia
"Santa Lucia" Build 32 Now Available!
https://www.patreon.com/stormsingerstudios
Hey everyone!
This update marks the end of Nate’s Act 2 content, which means that all three husbandos are officially at the same point in the story!
That also means that we’re moving onto the capstone event for Act 2, of which we have the first portion of included in this month’s build. You should be able to progress into October 3rd regardless of your preferred husbando!
On the art side of things, we’ve finally managed to put the finishing touches on Carlos’s sprite revamp. This took longer than expected because of all his clothes and sprite variants. Ideally this is the last time the sprite gets a major revamp like this! As we go along and add more life to the sprites with expressions and clothing, it becomes harder and harder to do undertakings such as this. I hope we have arrived at a version of the sprite that manages to please as many people as possible!
There are many surprises in store for this build. We finally get to explore the backstory of one of Santa Lucia’s most popular characters. I hope you guys enjoy what we have in store for you!
Cheers!

Meow,
I was playing the Build 20 last time, it used to work fine in my Philco with Android 8 GO, 1GB of RAM. Last month I download the Build 32 and it is closing after a short time of reading. It start to disappear and back until back to the home tablet screen.
Mmmm... I downloaded the pc version and load it with JoiPlay, copied the old saves and... it work fine with the JoiPlay app.
That not the only Visual Novel where it happened. It happen with Socially Awkward too. But the developer put a hold on the project so I coldn't ask about to him.
I am not really asking for suport just telling about it.
It feel strange the PC version working better in my Android tablet them the Android one.
I know I was not much into the changes but I like the story. It is light to read... at least until the part I have been reading, maybe it is because I am used to have some kind of different dreams. I just end in so deep sadness after reading Echo for like a month.
In the Russel part when he ran away I wanted to hold his by the arm and tell him I believed in him. I kind cried when he gone away and I couldn't tell him my feelings.
Well, good luck and good work up there.
Mewing,
Pandrine
Read this post, it's pretty short and effective at explaining what's going on about Russel

I love how this game moves along.
The routes pacing truly feel like they capture the husbando you're dating [Bryan's f'ing (I mean literally f'ing each other, like sex) and hand around relationship with Ben; the exciting, yet tense (when I say tense, I mean: it is clear that Nate is hesitant about sex and hardly accepts it, showing us he's still haunted by some sort of shame relating to his sexuality) and balanced romantic relationship between Ben & Nate; and Carlos' internalized homophobia causing his relationship with Ben to be in the "I have a problem, I am regular high schooler with a normal life, but I have a crush on a deep and brooding guy who I am not sure if he likes me back" phase]. And I love the idea of Ben and Russel having to either put any concerns or suspicions aside for Zack's sake, or to confront them in a healthy way. It could also show how Ben is trying to prove to Russel that he hasn't took a side in his false accusation and that he still cares about him and wants to listen to his side of the story.
This is so nice, and I am truly curious what route will be worked upon once the shared event is over? I hope is Carlos, he's my favourite.
Thank you for your feedback, it's always fun to read people theorizing about the game hehe
Next Patreon build (September's) will go back to Bryan's route, and then Carlos will follow, finishing with Nate like we did for the previous act.
Ditto to last comment!!! I feel so happy, but can't be sure just why... yet... hehehe
just finished it and omg the moment they talked about the other guest I knew who would it be but it didn't stop my jaw dropping tho (TT)
Next build is going to be awkward as hell but interesting
For sure, I really want to see how Ben and Russel will interact with each other in that delicate context.
