It was posted on September 13th. It has a picture of the girls in a Christmas setting, and the post is called “DID CHRISTMAS COME EARLY?!”

I know it’s been a while and you’ve probably already finished the game by now, but I still wanted to let you know that I remembered the bug you mentioned.

I believe I’ve fixed it now, and I’ve updated the download links with the version that includes the fix.

It should be fixed now, along with another bug that was reported to me a while ago. Thanks!

Hey, hi! I’ve been reading up on the issue, and it seems to be connected to a political matter that I honestly wasn’t aware of at all.

So if I understood correctly, the flag choice can cause misunderstandings or make some players uncomfortable.

Don’t worry, I’ll fix it as soon as I can, and I’ll let you know here once it’s been corrected. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I’d say all of them are 4-digit codes except for one.

There’s also a Patreon post where I shared all the codes if you want to get them the “not-so-legal” way ahshash. It’s completely free, by the way, not behind a paid post.

And if you’re playing version 0.1.8, finding them should be much easier now because there’s a sound cue and a small animation/effect whenever you reach a render that contains a hidden code.

Good luck!!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, sobrino. I really appreciate it, especially one with such kind words!

We’re going all in from here!!!!

真的非常感谢你，sobrino！你的这些话对我来说意义重大！❤️

I truly appreciate your words. All I can really say is that I’m working hard every day to make that happen!

There’s still a long road ahead, but I’ll keep doing my best to make TheChronos better and better with every update.

Hey sobrino, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I genuinely believe this game can go very far too.

My biggest problem is that I’m really demanding with myself, and I also get distracted pretty easily. Even so, I’ll always try to release at least one update every year, although I’m giving it everything I’ve got to make that 8 months or less!

Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì những lời tốt đẹp đó, tôi thực sự rất trân trọng!

Tôi luôn cố gắng để không bỏ ai lại phía sau và hỗ trợ nhiều ngôn ngữ bản địa nhất có thể, dù hiện tại bản dịch có thể chưa hoàn hảo. Tôi chỉ muốn mọi người đều có thể tận hưởng trò chơi mà không cảm thấy mình bị bỏ quên.

Tôi thật sự hy vọng trò chơi sẽ hợp với sở thích của bạn và có thể mang lại cho bạn vài tiếng cười trong quá trình chơi.

Một lần nữa, cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều và chúc bạn chơi vui vẻ!

Zer1fry, I’ve got some bad news... I didn’t see this message in time.

I literally just released 0.1.8 with a ton of changes, fixes, and improvements, but this specific issue wasn’t fixed. I think someone had mentioned it before, but it completely slipped my mind!!!

And I JUST released 0.1.8... I’M SO SORRY!!!!!!!!

But yeah, looking at it that way, I can definitely see how it’s a real issue. You’re in a chill, funny mood and then suddenly BOOM, spicy +18 moment... but your little buddy’s brain isn’t even there anymore.

THAT’S A SIN. I need to make sure that never happens again ahshashasha.

I’m also really glad you understand the kind of humor I like and that you find it fun too. Obviously it’s an AVN, so of course part of the goal is for people to enjoy it in... “other ways” wink wink.

But I honestly can’t help myself. I’ve always wanted to create a manga or anime, and humor like Grand Blue and other anime with that kind of energy has gotten me through some pretty bad moments before. So I feel like it’s really hard for me to create something that doesn’t feel like me.

That probably sounds weird... anyway, I talked too much again ahshashash.

And about Gabi...

Oops.......

Well, the good news is that she’s alive and she may show up again.

The bad news is that she isn’t an LI, and she never will be, just like Mury.

But hey, the good news again is that neither of them is dead, so they can always come back!!!

Hey, I really appreciate it! I’d definitely be interested.

Once I’ve progressed a bit further with the story, I’ll come back here and we can talk about it!

Am I Satoru Gojo because I’m the strongest, or am I the strongest because I’m Satoru Gojo? ahshashash

Always a pleasure seeing you around here, my dear Riku!!!

Thank you so much, sobrino! I’m really glad you like it!

Just be patient with me because I like to move at my own pace, but I promise I’ll keep innovating and improving things over time.

I’m just as excited as you are to keep sharing more of TheChronos with all of you!

Thank you so much, sobrino! I really appreciate it!!

Ahahaha, I’m glad to know my girls are attractive even to other girls. That’s definitely good to know!!!

I hope you enjoy the game, and thank you!

Hey, no worries at all!

When you selected the language, there should’ve been a note mentioning that the translation was made mainly with the help of advanced AI, with the goal of making it feel as natural and human as possible. But yeah, at the end of the day, it’s still AI-assisted.

If you’re asking because the translation feels bad or there are things that sound off, I’d honestly be really happy if you pointed out what could be improved. As funny as it sounds, I’m actually working on improving several translations right now and adding new languages too, so any feedback would be really useful!

(Just to clarify, I’d be more than happy if you pointed out a few things that could be improved, but for now I’d prefer to keep the translations mostly as they are. By the time 0.3 or 0.4 comes around, I’d like to start looking for human translations for as many languages as possible)

The fact that you actually made an account just to leave your thoughts already means way more to me as a developer than you can probably imagine. Seriously, that alone is such a huge gesture, and I’m genuinely grateful for it.

And putting TC on the same tier as Eternum in your PERSONAL tier list means a lot to me too. That honestly makes me really happy.

I still think I have a long way to go before reaching that level, but I can promise you one thing: I’m going to work my ass off to reach, and hopefully someday surpass, the number one spot on your list!!!!

ahahahhaha, you guys are awesome! I’m really glad both you and K1riru enjoyed it!

I’ll keep working hard to make future versions as good as possible, so I really hope you both play them when they come out and share your thoughts again!

Thanks so much once again! ❤️

thank you so much for the kind words, sobrino! I really appreciate it.

And as for the update... we’re already working on it! 👀

THERE ARE NO LESBIAN PARTS XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

There are actually two math problems in that same scene, not just one. You’ll need both of them for it to work.

Ashashashash, if you thought this one was good, just wait until you play ETERNUM!!!

But seriously, I really appreciate the kind words, sobrino, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll keep working hard to make the game even better!

Ahahahah, I’m really glad you enjoyed it, sobrino!

嗯……我觉得首先还是应该稍微珍惜一下目前已经有官方中文版本这件事。

并不是所有开发者都会像我一样，愿意从一开始就给游戏加入这么多语言的翻译。虽然目前这些翻译不一定都能做到非常完美，但至少我确实是希望更多不同国家的玩家都能玩到这个游戏。

另外，如果你真的希望未来的中文内容能变得更好，我也会更希望你能在 Discord 里把你发现的翻译错误、奇怪的句子或者任何不自然的地方截图并反馈给我。

这样我才能知道具体哪里需要修改，也能真正一步一步把中文版本做得更好。

如果只是说“翻译很奇怪”，但没有告诉我具体是哪些地方，其实我也很难知道该从哪里开始改。

总之就是这样！如果你真的希望中文版本越来越好，我也很欢迎你来帮我指出这些问题。

Mhm... I think the first thing to keep in mind is that there’s already an official Chinese version in the first place.

Not every developer thinks the way I do or tries to include this many languages from the start. The translations may not always be perfect, but the intention is there because I genuinely want more people from different countries to be able to enjoy the game.

Also, if you really want the Chinese version to improve in future updates, I’d really appreciate it if you could report any translation mistakes, weird lines, or anything that feels unnatural in the Discord.

That way I can actually see what needs to be fixed and improve things properly.

If someone only says “the translation feels weird” without showing me where or what feels wrong, it’s honestly pretty hard for me to know what I should change.

But yeah, that’s basically it. If you genuinely want the Chinese version to get better, I’m always happy to receive that kind of feedback

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Hey sobrino! I wanted to use your comment to share my thoughts on something.

A lot of AVN players are understandably skeptical when they see a 0.1. I get it. Why spend time on something that might never continue or could end up abandoned later?

That’s a fair point, but at the same time, I think that kind of mindset can also kill a lot of projects that might have had real potential.

I’m not really saying this because of my own game, because like I’ve said before, I’m going to keep developing TheChronos with or without support. I’m doing this because I genuinely enjoy creating it, not because anyone is forcing me to.

But I do think that if a game already caught your attention enough for you to check it out, it’s worth giving it a chance. Even just playing it and leaving some feedback afterward can mean a lot more to a developer than people realize.

Support doesn’t always have to be financial. Sometimes a simple comment, a suggestion, or just telling the developer what you liked can genuinely motivate them to keep going.

And honestly, even though TheChronos is only at 0.1 right now, it already has about as much content as several updates from a lot of other AVNs out there. Of course, how long it actually feels depends a lot on the type of player you are and how you play.

Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. Thanks for being interested in the game, and sorry for using your comment as the example for this little rant, sobrino! ❤️

嗨，sobrino！我想借你的评论说一下我对一个话题的看法。

其实很多 AVN 玩家在看到 0.1 版本的时候都会比较谨慎，我完全可以理解。毕竟，为什么要花时间去玩一个可能以后不会继续更新，或者最终被放弃的项目呢？

这个想法本身很合理，但我也觉得，某种程度上正是这种心态让很多原本很有潜力的项目很难继续成长。

当然，我并不是特指我自己的游戏。正如我之前说过的，不管有没有经济上的支持，我都会继续开发 TheChronos，因为我做这个游戏首先是为了我自己，也是因为我真的喜欢创作它。

不过我还是觉得，如果你已经对一个 AVN 感兴趣到点进来看了，那不妨试着玩一下。哪怕玩完之后只是给作者留下一点简单的反馈，都可能比你想象中更重要。

并不是所有支持都必须是金钱上的。有时候一句“我喜欢这里”、一个建议，甚至只是告诉作者你期待后面的内容，都能给创作者带来很大的动力。

而且老实说，虽然 TheChronos 现在只是 0.1，但它包含的内容量已经差不多相当于不少 AVN 的好几个版本了。当然，实际能玩多久还是很取决于每个人的游玩方式和节奏。

总之，我只是想借你的评论聊聊这个话题而已，没有任何针对你的意思！

谢谢你愿意关注这个游戏，也抱歉拿你的评论来当例子了，sobrino！❤️

Thank you so much, sobrino, for such amazing words. I’m really happy this 0.1 ended up being something you personally enjoyed, especially after how much effort I poured into making it.

That said, I’m definitely not stopping here. I’ll keep improving and do my best to make 0.2 even better!!!

Seriously, thank you so much for the support!!!

The good thing is, now you know where to find it!

🔥🔥🔥

嗨，sobrino！谢谢你特意提到这个问题！

其实我需要你进一下 Discord，最好能发几张截图，然后把你遇到的情况尽量详细地说明一下，这样我才能真正理解问题到底出在哪里。

我们之间确实存在语言上的障碍，但我不希望这影响到你们的游戏体验。如果有办法让中文玩家玩得更舒服、更有沉浸感，我当然愿意去改进。

不过关于角色名字，我个人还是比较倾向于保留原本使用的 **拉丁字母（Latin alphabet）**，也就是英语和西班牙语使用的这种字母系统，而不是把名字直接转换成汉字或其他写法。

主要原因是这些都是角色真正的名字。如果直接“翻译”名字，有可能会改变原本的发音、含义，甚至导致以后不同语言版本之间出现不一致。

不过，如果现在存在大小写不统一、名字显示方式混乱，或者中文文本中很难分辨角色是谁的问题，那这个我当然愿意想办法改善。

所以如果可以的话，来 Discord 给我发一些截图和具体例子吧！这样我可以更准确地看看该怎么处理。谢谢你的反馈，也谢谢你喜欢这个游戏！

---------------------------

Hey sobrino, thanks a lot for bringing this up!

I’d actually need you to join the Discord and send me a few screenshots, along with a more detailed explanation of what you’re seeing, so I can properly understand where the issue is coming from.

There’s definitely a language barrier between us, but I really don’t want that to get in the way of making the game as comfortable and immersive as possible for Chinese players.

That said, when it comes to character names, I personally think they should probably stay written using the Latin alphabet, which is the writing system used for languages like English and Spanish, rather than being directly converted into Chinese characters.

The main reason is that these are the characters’ actual names. Translating or changing them too much could alter the pronunciation or meaning, and it could also make the names inconsistent across different language versions.

However, if the real issue is inconsistent capitalization, confusing name displays, or the fact that it’s hard to tell who is being mentioned in the Chinese dialogue, then that’s absolutely something I’d be willing to improve.

So if you can, please send me some screenshots and examples on Discord. That would help me understand exactly what needs to be fixed. Thanks again for the feedback, and I’m really glad you’re enjoying the game!

For 0.2, I’ll add it. Don’t doubt it for even a second!

I hope I get to see you again for 0.2 too!

GODDDDD, thank you so much, sobrino!!! You have no idea how much I appreciate this.

Thank you for the good vibes, the kind words, and honestly for making me feel like all the work I put into this was worth it.

The game isn’t perfect, and it probably never will be, but I’ll keep doing my best to improve it little by little with every update. ❤️

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Thank you so much! I honestly never expected anyone to find the game through Facebook. Now that is genuinely surprising hahaha!

Trato de mejorar!

Hey, hello once again! First of all, I’m sorry for the late reply. Sometimes itch.io only tells me that I have new comments and sends me directly to the most recent one. At least, I still haven’t figured out how to tell when someone has replied directly to one of my older messages. Sorry about that!

I tried to fix the game as quickly as possible. Version 0.1.5 has been available for a while now, and I didn’t want to leave the game broken.

This also answers another question you mentioned about when 0.2 will be released. I’ve made it clear that I don’t want anyone to support me while expecting 0.2 to arrive soon. I don’t want to create that expectation because it will probably take me quite a while. I doubt it’ll take another two years hahaha, but it will most likely take several months.

And yes, I’m still dealing with that damn flu. My family keeps telling me to go to the hospital and get checked out, but I’ve been putting it off because I really can’t bring myself to go. I also wanted to take a proper vacation. I didn’t just spend two years working hard on the game. I was also working on several other projects at the same time so that I could eventually support myself while staying at home. I’m exhausted, and I also have a personal life that needs my attention.

That’s why I can’t say when 0.2 will be released. But honestly, I’m already dying to start working on it. Although just thinking about handling all the sound effects again is giving me a panic attack hahaha. That part alone took me about three months, mostly because of how exhausting it became. Many of the sounds weren’t simply downloaded and dropped into the game. I had to edit them, create some from scratch, mix them, adjust them, and do all kinds of other work.

I’ve gone off topic again, damn it. Why does this always happen to me? Hahaha.

Realm Invader is already on my list of games to play. I’ve heard a lot about it within my Hispanic community. I think I may have even tried it before. If it’s the game where the developer appears as a chad version of himself, then yes, I know which one it is hahaha. That’s exactly my kind of humor. I love stuff like that!

Although I think I only played the introduction. If I remember correctly, money suddenly started raining from the sky or something like that, and that was where I stopped.

And yes, my game is obviously built around who I am and what I’m like. In many ways, it’s also a gift to the Hispanic community that has already known me for more than three years.

There are naturally many references that not everyone will recognize. Unfortunately, some of them may also be lost in other languages because I originally created them in Spanish.

I quoted Kubo mainly because his response to critics felt absolutely devastating, and I agree with the core of what he said. I’ve never read or watched Bleach. I know it’s one of the original Big Three, and it’s still on my list, but when I first heard what Kubo said, I thought, “Damn, what an absolute chad.”

It’s unusual to see a Japanese creator respond so directly because they often appear very reserved, careful, considerate, and respectful. I think his message was valid, although you can definitely feel some anger behind it. It probably hurt a lot of people. It even hurt me, and I’ve never criticized the man hahaha.

I’ve gone off topic again!

Regarding Honey Select 2, many LIs are personally modeled and customized by their developers. However, many other characters are shared creations or recreations from existing franchises. Most of us use many of the same publicly available assets, although private commissions also exist. At least, that’s how it works in my case.

I completely understand what you mean about tsunderes. Nino from The Quintessential Quintuplets is one of my favorite characters. I thought she had excellent character development, although Miku still should have won hahaha.

Here’s a hint for the puzzles: hidden among roughly 2,000 renders, there are around six containing mathematical puzzles. Solving the equations gives you two digits from each one. Then you arrange the results correctly to create a four-digit code.

I think I just confused myself while explaining it hahaha. The system was designed so that whoever discovers the codes can share them with others if they want. I won’t give away any codes that unlock non-canon animations, but I’ll give you this one for free: 4444

Honestly, I never expected people to like the itch.io page or my other website this much. I created them that way simply because I enjoyed doing it and thought the presentation added something special. I never imagined I would receive so many positive comments about them.

I understand that the presentation may create extremely high expectations and that some people might react with “WTF?” once they actually play the game and discover how chaotic it is. But it is what it is hahaha.

I didn’t receive direct help with the German translation, but its quality should be around the same level as the English translation, or perhaps slightly below it. For example, someone told me that the Portuguese version contained a few errors but was generally very good, so I believe the German version should also be decent.

I also believe I’ll continue refining my skills and improving the things that need work over time. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment, and once again, I’m sorry for taking so long to reply.

Thank you for your kind words and for giving me some of your time. Have a wonderful day
