I find this such a unique way of making the game feel more new/different from the original! I'm following a few projects involving the re-creation of the stories from the lovestruck app and I'll 100% be following this one as well.
Just going to use the replies here as a way to make a bug-report (I'm a gamedev myself so I know how important these can be.) Helena Route specifically.
* Upon meeting Solaire for the first time and when Helena arrives. Suddenly switched from Solaire speaking to Altea who isn't in this scene. Solaire: "When you assaulted Lord Wolfson's castle years ago, sorceress." Altea: "That is where you know me from."
As far as I'm aware, there's no other way to update the app other than redownloading it from this page. You can follow me here for any updates as I aways make one for a new season, and season 3 for all routes was released 6 days ago
I'm not sure if it's just me or a bug but the game crashes every time I picked certain routes to load. (Except Reiner's, Saery's and the extras. It does let me play if I start them again or from clicking the episodes on the character menu) I tried uninstalling but nothing changed
So there's no error in the game but the game completely goes down and closes and then i get a trace back text error that talks about renpy and displays some traceback coding. I can send you a picture of what it says if you want so that maybe you can figure out what's happening with it
Hooray!!!!! Loved this game and was so disappointed when it became unavailable, didn't even finish some stories 😅 Thank you so much for this idea and good luck with a project 🩷 It'd be even better if you did more stories from this app, if you could 😘
I already rated this but I've finished the two seasons of five characters and I just have to say again how much I love this and I cannot wait for more!
I've been looking into whether Ren'py can return specific frames but I couldn't find that functionality. Luckily, if you give me the typo (e.g. "Jinahi") or the episode name I can find it with ctrl + F. I'm planning on publishing an update for v2 with these sorts of corrections anyway
Played through s2 of Saerys' route and omg thank you for doing this! I never played the original but this is fantastic, so thanks for keeping it alive!
I was literally just talking about how I wished I could go through and read Helena’s route again (like, if there ever was a “that changed my brain chemistry forever” moment in my life, this was 100% one of them). I can’t wait to download this and see how y’all’ve brought this world back to life. I love the new art too!
ETA: I adore this so much. I think the only thing that I have qualms with is the music. There was something haunting and bittersweet with the music of the og (the somber ones especially), especially when playing Helena (and prolly Alain's route) that just fit the mood so well. That's the one I miss the most. If I there was an option to switch between the new music for this version and the old music, I'd be golden and set in life.
Man like me, I would like everything to repeat the original look, not that the new one is strange or ugly, but I think it is strange to look at and not the same as I remember. ps: I think this version of Reiner is better.
Thx I play love struck when I was younger not really reading the story lines bc ya know tweens hate reading but I really miss the stories and such and was really disappointed when I had found out the game was taken down. Thank you sm Iseul was one of my fav routes
Again l am commenting to share my gratitude for this recreation, I have been playing nonstop and have finished the first season for Saerys, Reiner and Alain. And i cant wait to continue on and see future season. Take as long as you need to finish this masterpiece, it means so much to me since this was the very first otome/romance game I ever played so its dear and near to my heart.
Holy hell this is gorgeous?! I do hope you're able to complete this (however long it takes! art takes time and you're just as human as any of us!) because I never did manage to finish any of the routes on the original app (never enough hearts, always newer and shinier routes, you know how it is! iirc one of the only ones I ever DID finish was Reigning Passions Lyris, may be rest in hotness)
Thank you for reviving this! When the app shut down, I was worried that we would never be able to play it again, but you revived it! Im looking forward to playing it for the first time since the app shut down. The new art looks AMAZING!!!!
I enjoyed this on the original app and was super excited to find it here! Alain and Saerys are my faves!! I've completed as much as I can of Alain's route here and was working thru Saerys'. I'm enjoying it very much and like the new art. Thank you for bringing this here!
I've had an issue tho as I cannot seem to load my saves. I get to the load screen and it asks if I'd like to save again and regardless if I say yes or no I'm returned to start screen. No loading. I'm using it on android. Is there anything else I can try?
Looking at the code this is likely due to the options calling the Return() function to continue onto the next statement. I've never run into that issue myself on PC or android so I don't know why that would suddenly mean return to start, but I'll change the function to instead jump to the next episode instead in the next update later today. Hopefully that will solve the issue.

Thank you! That's very handy
Is there a way to make this automatically update? Is season 3 out for Helena's route?

Oh no, can you tell me what the error says?
I'm also having the same issue unfortunately
Could you tell me what the error says, if there's an error screen?
So there's no error in the game but the game completely goes down and closes and then i get a trace back text error that talks about renpy and displays some traceback coding. I can send you a picture of what it says if you want so that maybe you can figure out what's happening with it
That would be wonderful, thank you!
There isn't one, it just kicks me out of the app
Sorry for this! I've created a new devpost for whast I think the issue is, but if it doesn't work, please let me know so I can try something else
This is so cool! It's amazing that you did this! I actually much prefer your artstyle to the original!

Aw thank you so much! I'm about 85% of the way through season 3 so hopefully it shouldn't be too long for more!
I'm looking forward to them! Your art is so good, I particularly like Reiner and Helena's redesigns but all the routes are so good
Would it be possible for you to add an option to see the numbers for specific frames? I think it'd help for reporting typos, so those can be fixed!

Heyo, it's Ivory here! This looks awesome and I can't wait to play it.
I did want to note however that Arvanion worked on earlier seasons of August, but I was Altea's writer for her earlier seasons.
Thank you so much for letting me know! I'll edit that description. Your work on the game was incredible :D
