Hello everyone, and thank you for your kind patience!

Today, April 6th, I'm honestly feeling really happy. I've managed to find a balance —still improvable but very solid— between working hard, staying productive, and not burning out in the process, haha. I've made a lot of progress.

I'm close to finishing ALL the CGI for Two Sides of the Same Coin. As always, after finishing the CGI, I need to fix some errors in the images. There's always a strand of hair clipping through objects, or floating props I forget to remove, haha. I fix that in post using Photoshop so I don't have to redo scenes. (IT ALWAYS HAPPENS, but I try to make sure it doesn't reach the final product.)

Considering that I take Tuesdays off, it's very likely that by Wednesday I'll have all the CGI done, and by Thursday I'll start working on touch-ups.

From the previous TSSC update, where Kanya shines, I realized that sometimes less is more. In night scenes, for example, I've stopped oversaturating them with unnecessary shadows and lights. In daytime scenes, I've removed vignettes and only used the necessary amount of sunlight, which makes them feel more alive.

TSSC skins are coming.

That's all. Have a great day. Leaving you with some previews.

With no more to say, have fun and get depressed with all of us!

tros!

Player Comments of Two Sides of the Same Coin:

I'll preface this review by saying I went in expecting a Lesson In Love-ish style game. That is to say, there will be sandbox, there will be events that you have to grind affection for, and the order will sometimes leave you meandering. If those things turn you away, then this game will not be for you. It will be slow. It will meander. And those are things I enjoy in a story from time to time.The tone of the game is an overall lighthearted one. There are certain serious topics that are broached, but they happen sporadically. Sometimes they are very effective, sometimes they come across as over-philosophizing. Which brings me to my point of the narrative having lots of ups and downs. For example, there are some great emotional parts to the story, but there are also some cringe self promotions, and some parts that feel like it meanders far from the story just for a "lol so random" conversation. It definitely takes some getting used to, and I let them wash over me instead of getting hung up on them, since honestly, the characters make up a vast majority of my like of this game.What ultimately interested me in this story were the characters and the mundane way you learn about them. There isn't too large of a cast right now either, which helps with the focus of characterization and their relationships with each other. There are archetypes and stereotypes still, but how we learn about each character is a rather slow process, which is to my liking. There are tons of conversations that aren't meaningful in terms of progressing the story, or even the conversation itself, but it gives you some more insight into who they are, which I found refreshing to read.Now for the part I'm sure many are interested in: the sexy times. I won't say there is anything astoundingly unique here, nor will I claim the pacing is perfect for each character. Some it happens really early really quickly, with no follow up for some time. Others it feels much more well lead into, with reasonable steps from one to the next. Overall it's decently done, and it didn't detract from the game itself, which is what I was looking for.

For what's it's worth, out of the Lessons in Love inspired games I've played (so far), I feel like this one has perhaps the best writing and arguably the most interesting characters overall. Keep in mind tho, this game and others of this type are not made for just rubbing one out. It's more about getting attached to the characters, and most of the characters here are unique enough to stand out. Even the stereotypical Tsundere.The plot hasn't really gone anywhere yet (v0.2.5.5), but it seems like at least the characters have actual reasons for why they do things, such as keep secrets, instead of just being forced to by the writer in order to cause drama or prolong things. The reasons actually make sense as well, at least within the plot. There's also been a few decisions that will actually matter later on, according to the game itself. In other words, the game knows where it wants to go. So far, anyway. It also seems like love interests you get with will be presumably optional, which is nice.The only thing I actually dislike is that there is no repeatable sex scenes at all (or at least I can't find them). The dialogue isn't perfect, but they are juggling japanese, spanish, and english terms and cultures (?) within the plot and the characters, with even some characters being racist at times (because they are meant to be). So, imperfection is to be expected especially for a game that has a lot to say and up to three languages to say it in. Still, back to the repeatable sex scenes... well to sum it up it's immersive breaking when you take into account that 3 months have gone by since you optionally last had sex with a girl who is clearly ready to go whenever you want and there's no reason why you couldn't. Of course, it could just not have been implemented yet, and in that case this game will be pretty solid for what it wants to be, when it is.So, 4 stars for when the repeatable stuff gets added on hopefully in a retcon kind of way. 3 stars if they never do, but we do get some repeatable stuff eventually. Now, there is a gallery and events can be replayed in the girl events menus, but if I can't just call up or visit a girl when I want, it's a little too immersive breaking for my taste.

Conclusion:

Two Sides of the Same Coin will immerse you in an emotional rollercoaster where personal struggles, insecurities, and trauma take center stage. But fear not, for you are not alone. As you navigate through the darkest moments, you will discover the strength within you to overcome any challenge. When faced with devastation, never surrender. This game aims to remind us that there's always someone willing to lend a helping hand in difficult times.
