Help, I downloaded the PC version and unzipped it. I downloaded Joiplay and the plugin, I select the exe file, I launch it and after a second it crashes
I do hope that wedding scene in the beginning would be an bad ending don't really want natsumi to end up with another man🥹 but still great game keep up the good work buddy👍
Yea I read your comment further down about Risa after I asked and I am going to see how that plays out first. It'd be one thing if it were an established boyfriend, a quiet, unrequited love on Ren's part, or something along those lines but that it boiled to two suitors and she chose the other leaves a bit of a bad taste. Then they end up together only after her first choice turns out to be a dick, even given time, that's personally off-putting, and juxtaposed against not only a heroine like Natsumi but a relationship like Ren and Natsumi's, Risa and everything she entails sounds worse by comparison. Compounded by some of her other actions, well, she's rough. Generally I'd leave this alone but a) it is a dating sim and b) she is ostensibly unavoidable if you're interested in anyone other than Natsumi. Still I'm interested in the "why" of things on her part. Thanks for the response.
Hi, Dear developer. I've got some problem here... as you can see I've been played the chapter 3.5 version before. And when I see the next update. I continue to download 0.4.5 version. I played it on Joiplay. The problem is when I'm about to open the game, the game suddenly force closed. I don't know why..
and about file 0.4.5 update, what is that for and Soo 0.4.6 patch too. Did I make a mistake in downloading the game? Is the 0.4.6 patch file also needed? What should i do? I don't really understand the install instruction you've explained, sorry...
As you can see, English is not my nature language. Forgive my mistake in writing the words. And I really like your visual novel game and the story it self. I was planning to become indie game developer too, I hope to become true in the future.
To be honest, I'm not sure because I haven't made sure that my games is compatible or playable with Joiplay or any android platform. But between 0.3.5 and 0.4.5, I think there's an upgrade from Renpy 7 to Renpy 8, so it's possible that's what causing the game to force close. Also if what you have is version 0.3.5, you have to download the full game, not just 0.4.5 update. 0.4.5 update is for people who have version 0.4. 0.4.6 patch is to fix some minor bugs (but not game breaking), and everyone is required to download it for now.
If I can do it, then I'm sure you can do it too, good luck on your dreams!
hey, so when I tried starting the game on Mac it says "The application NatsumiLoveStory cannot be opened" I've had this happen before with other games before and I was able to fix it just fine with the chmod +x. but for some reason no matter what I do it will not work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Yup, the choice to choose harem or Natsumi only is planned to be on chapter 5. In the next update, which is on early access right now, I've provided more detail that the prologue and the day after the wedding can either be just daydreams or glimpses of the future depending on the route you choose.
Other people doesn't seem to be having the same problem. And the game is using Renpy as it's game engine like lots of other games do, are you saying Renpy is a malware?
And why would I upload a malware then hoping people would pay me money?
I downloaded your game. I took a 2 hour nap and I come back to my laptop being incredibly slow. I deleted it and several other things and it was still slow. your game is the only thing I downloaded all day. I had to factory reset my laptop to get it back to normal. its the only logical explanation
Sorry that happened to you, but the file is in the form of .zip, AFAIK, downloading any zip file is safe. Even after you extract the files inside, it'll still be safe, it'll only become unsafe if you run any of the files inside it, that's what google says anyway.
Maybe your laptop has a program with auto background update feature enabled and download an update that's causing the slow. Or, once I have a shitty laptop that download windows update and it's taking all the Disk Percentage (In the Task Manager, don't know what it actually is) and making it really slow.
Probably Window Defender gone haywire, especially as a factory reset fixed the problem. Its a known problem with Defender that Microsoft can't or won't fix. The only permanent fix is to install another anti virus.
I posted progress updates weekly on my discord server and patreon (progress update are set to public), so you can follow them there.
But I was just finished with Pan Hero updates and will start working in Natsumi Love Story again now, reelase update should be around 2 or 3 weeks for early access, plus 2 more weeks for the public release.
I'll go ahead and ask will all the girls have lesbian content or just specific ones and how prevelant is the lesbian content going to be? I'm asking because i might pick this game back up depending on how the Risa situation is resolved.
To be honest, so far only two lesbian content has been planned. Whether I'll decide to add more or not is depend on how I feel during writing those chapters I guess.
But the relationship between the girls will be somewhere between friends, lovers, and family.
Will the MC have sex with every girl before they start doing stuff together? I also takes this to mean that every girl isn't bisexual? Also sorry for the questions but I just don't want to get invested just to be disappointed.
To be honest the Risa stuff in this makes me feel slightly shitty. Maybe I'm just bad at reading the subtext but it feels like the game doesn't make it clear enough on what happened imo. I mean I feel like the game makes her seem like she's interested in the MC but she picks the other guy and ends ups ghosting the MC just to ask Natsumi about him on Valentine's Day. I personally would not want to be involved with someone like that it seems to me like she feels like she made the wrong choice and feels guilty about it now. My main point is that to me Risa kind of comes off as a shitty person and is in denial. I also just want to say the rejection isn't the shitty part but the ghosting and then asking about them much later because you feel bad about it is.
Hey, that's exactly how you should feel right now about Risa. What she did was shitty, and that's how I want the player to see. But on her chapter (which is on the future), I want the player to know that she's just really flawed, but still with a chance of redemption, which is a challenge for me to convey in a story and I want to see if I could make the player to feel that her redemption is good enough and has another chance with MC.
Is the beginning of the game is really the ending or it all depends on the choices you make after the start of the game?like when i clicked all chapters why does natsumi was gonna marry another guy was that really the possible ending?
It's one of the ending I guess, but it will be the canon one. And Natsumi isn't marrying another guy. It's a harem relationship where MC is the only guy.
Wow ngl the story is AMAZING literally just finished playing the pan hero and now this is like the cherry on top xD keep it up it's really really good. Excited for more
wait just to know in the resume its say that we can end with natsumi forever or a harem but in the start it say that we have only one wife and the sister is marrying a guy is that some sort of time travel thing ?
Legally you can only marry one person in Japan (where the game take place), and in that world, that law is still not changed after 11 years. Though there's so many reason to get married, and please don't assume anything until you really see it :)
You will either ended up with just Natsumi forever or with a harem.
So does these mean it's fixed from the strart that natsumi will marry someone else other than the mc?can it not be changed or is is it unchangeable...if not possible that's a let down.
Nope, MC or any of his girls won't get NTR'd. It's true that Natsumi will marry someone else, but Natsumi won't get married to another guy. See the discord server for more explanation about this.
As much as it is a good game, it also isn't. I didn't have high expectations from the start, the game has alot of effort, that's for sure. I just don't think the average Joe would find himself enjoying something like this. The kinks are fine, it's just the playstyle.
Hey, thank you very much for the feedback, you are correct, this visual novel is intended to be just a story without any sandbox or in depth gameplay, so you can treat this like you're just reading a doujinshi, this is because I only use this visual novel as a tool to learn making a visual novel. I'm also developing bigger visual novel with a sandbox (with the same engine), but it's just started so it'll take some time before it's released. But Natsumi Love Story will also be continued (still without any in depth gameplay) as it's planned for at least 13 chapter.

Is this game on a hiatus in order to focus on pan hero, or is it abandoned?
I was focused on doing Pan Hero, but now that I've completed its latest update, I'll be working on Natsumi Love Story again.
Is there any way of playing this on Android?
Yeah, try joiplay emulator.
I do hope that wedding scene in the beginning would be an bad ending don't really want natsumi to end up with another man🥹 but still great game keep up the good work buddy👍
I've downloaded version 0.4.6 PC. do i need to download the 0.4.6 patch too? (not incest patches)
No need. 0.4.6 patch is for 0.4.5 version.
Anybody got any idea if a android port would be available for this game?
Joiplay
Assume the harem is every girl without choice? Don't like Risa at all.
Yup, if there's a girl you don't like, you need to choose the non-harem route which will be given in the next chapter.
Yea I read your comment further down about Risa after I asked and I am going to see how that plays out first. It'd be one thing if it were an established boyfriend, a quiet, unrequited love on Ren's part, or something along those lines but that it boiled to two suitors and she chose the other leaves a bit of a bad taste.

Please make it playable on android 🙏
Can be played on Android?

Does anyone know how to fix this?
nvm. of course it works directly after I comment about it lmao.
but on a different note. how do I get the ipatch into the game? I have no idea where to put any of the files.
Glad that it suddenly works out for you :)
For Mac, you put ipatch.rpa in NatsumiLoveStory.app\Contents\Resources\autorun\game
Inside the game folder, other .rpa files should also be there.
Just to be sure, there is a true Natsumi path, right? (You end up with Natsumi only, no harem)
Yup, the choice to choose harem or Natsumi only is planned to be on chapter 5. In the next update, which is on early access right now, I've provided more detail that the prologue and the day after the wedding can either be just daydreams or glimpses of the future depending on the route you choose.
great! thanks for replying so fast, you're really a great dev ^.^
Thanks for the compliment!
where...?
where what? finish your question lmao
Hey dev please can u make a port for Android we the Android user requested
I love your game!!!! Keep up the good work.
does the incest patch work with the newer version?
and I don't know where to put the file
It should work. Extract the zip file into NatsumiLoveStory/game/ folder, there should be other .rpa files in that folder.
Thank you!
after downloading this game, my laptop suddenly became incredibly slow. Don't download this game. its malware
Uh...what?
Other people doesn't seem to be having the same problem. And the game is using Renpy as it's game engine like lots of other games do, are you saying Renpy is a malware?
And why would I upload a malware then hoping people would pay me money?

Or, once I have a shitty laptop that download windows update and it's taking all the Disk Percentage (In the Task Manager, don't know what it actually is) and making it really slow.
I downloaded it myself on laptop and mobile and it's working just fine
Probably Window Defender gone haywire, especially as a factory reset fixed the problem. Its a known problem with Defender that Microsoft can't or won't fix. The only permanent fix is to install another anti virus.
It works fine for me.
Can we get an updated timeline on production? I am shaking with withdrawal symptoms from waiting :)
I posted progress updates weekly on my discord server and patreon (progress update are set to public), so you can follow them there.
But I was just finished with Pan Hero updates and will start working in Natsumi Love Story again now, reelase update should be around 2 or 3 weeks for early access, plus 2 more weeks for the public release.
Thank you for the speedy reply
android ?
No official one yet, but there's unofficial android port somewhere
Android?
Not yet, but I think there's an unofficial port
How long will the not NTR bits be? just wondering how long it will take for that to be resolved
It's already been resolved. But there's also one more extra chapter for the aftermath.
Hi, there is pregnancy but is there also pregnant sex?
There will be in the future updates
I'll go ahead and ask will all the girls have lesbian content or just specific ones and how prevelant is the lesbian content going to be? I'm asking because i might pick this game back up depending on how the Risa situation is resolved.

Will the MC have sex with every girl before they start doing stuff together? I also takes this to mean that every girl isn't bisexual? Also sorry for the questions but I just don't want to get invested just to be disappointed.
Yes, the first one will be always threesome between mc, natsumi, and the other girl.
Yup, not every one is bi
Still don't really like that the main girl is bi but I'll keep an eye on it I guess. Thanks for answering my questions.
Nice game!!! thanks!!!!
To be honest the Risa stuff in this makes me feel slightly shitty. Maybe I'm just bad at reading the subtext but it feels like the game doesn't make it clear enough on what happened imo.

I mean I guess I'll see but i would rather the option to not have her in the harem if possible.
that's not possible as this is a linear storyline
Well if that's the case I guess I'll go ahead and drop this but i wish you luck with the rest of the game.
Is the beginning of the game is really the ending or it all depends on the choices you make after the start of the game?like when i clicked all chapters why does natsumi was gonna marry another guy was that really the possible ending?
It's one of the ending I guess, but it will be the canon one. And Natsumi isn't marrying another guy. It's a harem relationship where MC is the only guy.
Oh gosh thanksss can't wait for more updates really enjoying the story
any news on when update dropping?
It should be in a week or two.
nice love both your games
Aw, was hoping there'd be some reconnection with Risa before 3.5 ended. Seems to be coming soon™ though at least!
Is there going to be some extra scene about MC leaving after seeing her on the roof? Curious to see how she reacted after and what she thought.
It's not planned, but I might add that on the Risa focused chapter, which should be on Chapter 6.
Cool! Either way looking forward to the next chapter, hope things go by smoothly for you!
Will there be anal scenes?
Please say yes.
Yes, it is planned to be included and it'll be optional.
Wow ngl the story is AMAZING literally just finished playing the pan hero and now this is like the cherry on top xD keep it up it's really really good. Excited for more
Not available for Android?
There's unofficial android port in the f95zone
This is made with ren'py why not using joiplay....if you want(if you don't trust unofficial andriod ports)
Why doesn't this have the Erotic or Eroge tags?
Edited, thanks for your suggestion!
You're welcome, but why just add the Eroge tag and not the Erotic one?
wait just to know in the resume its say that we can end with natsumi forever or a harem but in the start it say that we have only one wife and the sister is marrying a guy is that some sort of time travel thing ?
It's a glimpse of the future.

So does these mean it's fixed from the strart that natsumi will marry someone else other than the mc?can it not be changed or is is it unchangeable...if not possible that's a let down.
Sadly it's not possible.
So does that mean that mc will get netorare? Cuz his sister will get married to another guy or maybe you should just make that guy a trap character😏
Nope, MC or any of his girls won't get NTR'd. It's true that Natsumi will marry someone else, but Natsumi won't get married to another guy. See the discord server for more explanation about this.
anyone cheat
There's no cheat in the game.
Very important question: will the impregnation ever progress to pregnancy?
For now, there's no plan to include pregnancy fetish, although there will be some dialogue that discuss why it's not included.
Aw dude, those 6 numbers were an awful tease then. I'd read both of those before I found this game and that reference got me hopeful. Oh well.
Is it not possible for it to have an android version..plz do add android version..
Hey, I haven't learn how to port it to android, but there's unofficial android version out there.
2 & 4 are best kinks. you cannot change my mind.
That's why I include it :)
Mixed Feelings.
As much as it is a good game, it also isn't. I didn't have high expectations from the start, the game has alot of effort, that's for sure. I just don't think the average Joe would find himself enjoying something like this. The kinks are fine, it's just the playstyle.

Yes absolutely, I have plan to make it available on android, as soon as I learn how to do it. I'm glad you like it, thank you.
