Update 24.5 - What's new
🕑 Added 2025-02-05 07:53:00 +0000 UTC🎉 Hello Everyone !🎉
I hope this year brings you joy, success, and plenty of exciting moments. To kick off the year, I’m thrilled to share the details of the S24.5 Update. While this update is mainly focused on technical improvements (the story still ends at the same point for now), there’s plenty to dive into. Let’s take a closer look!
S24.5 – Update Details
Game Optimization
The game’s size has been reduced! By changing the image format, the client has gone from 1.8 GB to 1.4 GB. This optimization also required me to rework the galleries. Speaking of galleries, I took the opportunity to merge a few of them: "First Steps," "Camping," and "Back Home" are now combined into one called "Summer."
Script Overhaul for easier translation
I’ve reworked a lot of the scripts and files to prepare for easier translation in the future. This was no small task—it turns out you can’t just copy and paste when you’re working with a game that now has 150,000 words (yes, it’s basically a book at this point 😂... with 4500+ pictures). I relied on Python scripts to retrieve and reorganize data across different files.
While I’ve tested everything thoroughly, there’s always a chance I might have missed Something (well, it is sure, I missed something...). If you notice any weird text or parts that seem incomplete, please let me know on Discord! Your feedback is invaluable. 😊
Revamped Transitions and updated images
Since I had to revisit the early parts of the game, I also took the chance to polish a few transitions and remake some images that were starting to feel "outdated."
Music and Sound are finally here!
Yes, it’s true—I finally tackled the part of game design I don’t love: sound. From the beginning of the game to the end of S24, there’s now music, sound effects, and even some voice! Adding sound has brought new life to the game, though it did slightly increase the file size again (oops 😅).
Let me know on Discord what you think of the new soundscape! Your feedback will help me fine-tune things further.
Extended basketball hazing scene
By popular request, I’ve extended the basketball hazing scene: You now have a choice that leads to two slightly different routes, with 2 additional images added to the gallery waiting to be unlocked.
If there are other moments in the game where you think, "Hmm, I wish we could see what happens if…," don’t hesitate to let me know! Depending on the complexity, I’ll either submit it to a vote (for more significant scenarios) or add it if it’s relatively quick to implement (and OK with the story ^p^).
A Quick Reminder About Saves
As the game is still in development, I want to remind you that save files might not always work perfectly after updates. I hope your saves will load as expected, but there’s always a chance that some may cause bugs or crashes. If this happens, try using an older save file—it should help.
For example, I’ve noticed that 2-3 of my own saves don’t load in the right place. One even shows a "bad marshal" error during gameplay. This happens because of changes I’ve made to the game’s structure, breaking some old references.
I’m really sorry about this, but unfortunately, it’s an inevitable part of updating a game in development. Thank you for your understanding! 😊 However, if you have any mistakes / game error message, please let me know on discord.
Looking Ahead
This update puts the game in a place I’m really happy with. I spent my Christmas break (yes, "break" 😅) reorganizing a lot of the code and laying the groundwork for future updates. Here’s what I’m thinking for the next steps:
Gallery Improvements: At some point, I’d like to redesign the gallery to make it more visually appealing.
Special Gallery Images: Ideally, I’d love for each unlocked image to be even more polished than standard in-game visuals. Alternatively, I might create a "creative gallery" for moments that deserve extra artistic attention. What do you think? Let me know your thoughts on Discord or in the comments!
What About S25?
Regarding S25, I think it should be ready soon. S25 will kick off the Spring Break arc, which I’m very excited to share with you all. Stay tuned for more updates! 😊
Thank you all for your amazing support and for being part of this adventure. Your ideas and feedback keep me inspired and motivated to make Summer Vacation the best it can be. Let’s make 2025 an incredible year together!

Hello, before downloading a new version, please remove entirely the previous version from your device or you'll get errors (don't override files). The game saves are not in the game directory, so you wont lose anything
Eduardo Claudino
I'm going to test the game now from my cell phone, if I find any errors I'll report it here?
Eduardo Claudino
Good evening from Brazil, I'm going to test it for a month here, I saw that to install the app it is necessary to uninstall the previous version, and what about the save data? I'll have to start all over again
TitamFR
Weird, but OK. Usually I put another link on mega but I forgot this time :) I will be sure to add the second link if needed ! Thanks for the alert !

It wasn’t working for me at the time, but it did earlier today when I tried it. I kept getting an error message saying too many downloads had happened. Guess I just needed to wait. Thank you for checking back.
TitamFR
Hello, I tried the link it looks ok to me. What's the error ?
IshyPish

Hi I hope we get the option to choose who will be our roommate in chapter 3 - winter break. Thanks!
DC Burns
Thats cool! I finally figured out all the different endings to the side stories last night, so maybe I just need to make more saves and pick different choices
TitamFR
Hey ;) I need to think about little about it :)
DC Burns
One request I would have is during the christmas vacation when Carlos turns on the porn, and he and Jin get nude, is what if Matthew joined them, they watched it, and then they fooled around with each other?
TitamFR
Hey, I just updated the version on mac, pc and android. Don't forget to remove from your device any version of the game you already have to avoid any conflicts.
TitamFR
I just updated the clients, I saw some errors. If you find any, you can contact me directly (DM on Discord ).
TitamFR
No problem, it is fixed in the new zip available
