I'm OlecramId and I'm making a visual novel called "The Second Half"
This is my first game so I'm open to all constructive feedback that I can get!

Let's talk about why I'm making this game and what I will try to turn it into.
Two years ago, I discovered the adult visual novel world, and it was love at first sight! I always been a big fan of games, but I never knew this type even existed. Since then I played hundreds of them. Of course, I don’t like them all, but all of them teach me something. Now I know exactly what a game must be to entice me.
Great photo quality? Big fan of it! Beautiful women? Of course!! Good animations? Sure! But most importantly, a story that I want to come back to. And to me that is almost 100 percent about the characters. I want to fall in love with them, or at least one of them. I really like and want that type of connection. This is the kind of game I will try to make, and I want you to fall in love with at least one of my characters!

Now, about the game itself. Like I said before, it will be a story driven game. You will have to make some decisions, important ones, not the silly kind lot of games have. Most of these decisions will be about if you want to pursue some girl or not, and in case you do want to, how you will do it. I don’t want at this point to give much away, but I will just say that the game will have multiple endings according to how you played it.

Why try to make a game now? Easy, last year I lost my job. I have a lot of free time now and I really need a source of income. On one hand, this is my way to give something back for all the wonderful games that I played and I loved, and on the other hand try to make a living.

If you can and want to, please consider visit my Patreon and make a pledge.

Another way to help me is with your feedback. Like a said, this is my first game, and even so I have a lot of ideas of what I want it to be, I'm not sure if I would be able to translate them as well as I would like to. This is why is important to me to know what you feel about the game and how I can improve it. You can leave your comments here or join my new Discord channel. 

Last, but not least, English is not my first language, so I'm sure I will make some mistakes, if you catch any of them, please let me know.

You are 44 years old. You are an engineer and the owner of a construction company.
During the last 15 years you have made it grow to become one of the largest in the region.
You don't like your job but you're really good at it, like almost anything else you do...
If someone asked a friend to describe you in 3 words, they would say that you have 3 eyes, Intelligent, Introverted, and Insecure.
The only problem with that sentence is where would they find a "friend" who knows you well enough to describe you?
You spent most of your life alone. You were never good at bonding with people, much less with women.
The only exception was Milena. God knows how but she met you and for some reason she loved you... at least until 2 years ago.
Your life was never easy, but it cannot be said that it has been difficult.
You have been working from a young age and you made your career quite easily.
You love animals and you are not happy.
But now you decided that its's time to change your life, starting with your insecurities.
No more hiding, no more overthinking, it's time to act, live your life and try to be happy once and for all.

She is 23 years old and a law student. She works for an old friend of yours.
She is very open and up front.
She says what she thinks and she is not afraid to go for what she wants. But at the same time she is very respectful and polite.
She seems very confident but under that exterior hides a girl who until now had no luck with men.
From a very young age she was already very beautiful. She developed early so she always attracted a lot of attention.
Most men see her as a conquest and treat her in the same way.
She is used to being the center of attention and although she enjoys it, she's not looking for it.
Your change of life will first result in crossing paths with this beautiful woman.

She is 24 years old and a nurse.
Very smart and dedicated. At the age of 18 she entered one of the top medical faculties with the third best result among the more than 4000 applicants.
She was always in the top 5 averages and everyone knew she was going to have a bright future.
But everything changed when, at the age of 21, her father suffered a tragic accident.
The months she spent in the hospital with him made her realize that it was not the doctors who helped patients the most, but the nurses.
The doctors came and went, they passed in a hurry and if they did not look at the clinical history they had no idea what was happening.
On the other hand, the nurses were always ready, they ran from one room to the other but they knew every detail of each patient in their care.
In that moment she knew what she wanted to do. Helping other people just like those nurses helped her father.
Even spending most of her time next to her father's bed, in less than 6 months she became a nurse.
So she changed a lucrative career as a doctor to devote herself fully to helping as many people as she could.
Today she works tirelessly as a head nurse in the largest and most renowned hospital in the city.

She's 18 years old and she just finished school. Her best and only friend is Jenny.
She's the sweetest girl you could ever meet, but unfortunately her life isn't easy.
Her mother disappeared two years ago and she was left alone with her father, a violent and angry man.
She's almost a prisoner in her own house. Her father totally controls her life and makes her live in constant fear.
While she never suffered any physical abuse, the constant verbal mistreatment of which she is a victim shaped her personality by turning her into a shy and weak girl.
Since Jenny had to move, Emily has been completely alone and isolated from the world.
It's only a matter of time before the situation in her house escalates even further, and at that point, will Emily have the strength to escape?
Emily and you are going to meet on the worst day of her life... will you be able to help her?

She's 18 years old and Emily's best friend. They have known each other since elementary school and were inseparable. She's the only person who knows Emily's whole story. Eight months ago her mom received an incredible job offer for which they had to move to the other side of the country. Being apart from her best friend was a terrible blow to Jenny, not only because of what it meant not to see her daily but because she knew that she had to leave her alone with her father. She lives worried about Emily and always tries to find a way to get her out of her house. She'd do anything for her friend and she's going to get a chance to prove it.


She's 19 years old and is touring the country as a backpacker.
She left her house a few months ago and since then she has been traveling non-stop.
She is an intelligent, funny, natural and very effusive girl. She grew up in a rural town, so her manual tasks are not alien to her in the least.
She is the kind of person to excel in any situation, but while she would seem like she has everything going for her, her childhood was not perfect in the least. Rachel is different from most people and she never found it easy to feel accepted.
Beyond that, if you are lucky enough to meet her, you will never regret it. The only thing you have to know is that she has a bigger secret than you could imagine...

Hey man, I hope you get well soon!

For fans who aren't aware, the developer abandoned the game due to some health issues more than a year ago, odds are good, this one won't be coming back. But we can dream.

hoping he's doing good and looking forward to the next updat

Animated?

(+5)

Game is dead until Dev beats his cancer

(-16)

you don't beat cancer by being a quitter

(+4)

Thanks THO, I don't follow F95Z, and consequently had not seen this update, but your clarification explains a lot. You understate that "cancer is a pain". I have lost friends and relatives to it, and the Dev must devote his energies to fighting  and beating it. Best of luck to him, get well soon. If he returns to the game, then good, but I would not hold it against him should he choose to do other things with his life.

Regards,

Hi Dev,

Long time since we heard from you. Your most recent post on your Patreon was  "Hello everyone and happy Halloween to those who celebrate it. First of all I apologise for being missing so long I will explain I..." and the rest is locked unless you are a Patreon.

I humbly suggest that if you want more Patreons you need to unlock this post now for general exhibition if you are intending to continue the game development.  With you being away so long, it will be hard for anyone to commit to you if they can't see why you seem to have left the helm unattended, and what your intentions are.  Especially when that post is early November, 2021, nearly 200 days, or more than half a year ago, at the date of writing this.

When it tastes, looks and smells like the game is abandoned, there is really only one conclusion that fits the observable facts.

I hope you have not abandoned the game, you have an excellent cast of characters, some great plot lines and an intriguing way of telling the story.  I would really like to see it develop.

On the other hand, it is possible that your personal circumstances don't allow you to continue. That sometimes happens for real people in the real world, games such as these are often a labour of love, and it can all become too much if things don't go right on the personal front. I am sorry if that is the case and hope things improve.

I am personally looking forward to an update, but if that will never happen, it might be best to just say so and be done. We can then all move on.

Best regards.

If you read through the F95 Zone thread of the game, you may notice that there's information that he has been informed having cancer.


For me it looks like he has to win bigger fights atm. Hope  he will be successful and (after that) still want's to tell this story. I'm also looking forward  to an continuation.

Best luck for you dev .. cancer is a real pain :-(

What is the difference between TSH and TSH with Animations.

I really liked the game so far. Is it abandoned or is there actually coming somthing again? cuz last update was 8 Month ago.

Great game so far! Are there going to be any more updates? I noticed the last update on Patreon was in October

(+1)

Looks great, only one suggestion. Consider pregnancy, because if you really fall in love with a character..

Hi im kinda like you i recently come across visual novels and want to make one, however ive found renpy to wite the script but dont know what to use to create the nsfw scenes?

microsoft paint 3d

i've been delaying writing a review cos its hard to sum up, but here goes:
i've played up to 2.0.
its now been a month since 2.5 was released and ive been putting that off playing it, just to get a little more than one day extra play.
however, it is getting harder and harder to put off playing the next update, the game really is that good, very realistic plot (midlife crisis), pretty realistic characters (well within the tenets of psychology), and as realistic graphics as you can get in an avn to date.
very solid for a v2 game. look forward to more.

Man this looks very interesting, are you planning on making an android version soon? unfortunately my pc broke 2 weeks ago but I really want to play this

Hello!
You can download an android port from here:
Download - MEGA
Please, keep in mind that it is not an official version from me, it is a port made by Roy26633356

If you're recommending this version yourself then I assume that is a safe version right? No viruses or anything 

The truth is that I didn't test it, but he makes android ports for a lot of games. I can't really assure you anything other than the fact that the version is posted in my game's  F95 page and has no comments against it. If you want more information you can enter his Discord and ask there. I put the link in the answer above. Sorry I can't be more helpful. 

(-1)

It's ok, thanks for the info, you should really talk about it with him tho, for what you say It's legit, but if it ends up being a corrupted game & you recommend it you might get into trouble even if the port is his, I mean just to be safe

(+1)

"Please, keep in mind that it is not an official version from me" ..... says it all....it wasn't a recommendation as much as it was to help you find something that you could not find on your own. Why don't YOU talk with the person who put out the android version? (as OlecramID recommended?

(+2)

Adinekara if you dont like  the situation dont d/l  but trying to tell the creator how to make his game for YOUR enjoyment is really rude.  I for one  really enjoy the game  keep up the great work OlecramID  =)

(+1)

Hello! I'm really glad that you like the game! I don't know if you played the last update or not, but let me know what you think when you do!

There are always going to be people who don't like this game, but that's fine, not everything is for everyone. The advantage is that there are millions of games to choose from. For my part, I will try to stay true to my idea and do my best.

(+1)(-6)

After reading the description of the game  I was just about ready to download this game, ....then I read the bios of the characters. A 44-year-old chasing 18-year-old tail Is just creepy to me and the oldest girl still has a 20-year gap. If the age gap wasn't so big this would have been an easy download for me but sadly I'm gonna have to pass on this one . Next time make the harem closer in age to the MC

(+4)

Hi, thanks for the feedback but if you had played the game you would realize that MC is not chasing anyone. Beyond that, if this game is not your preference, it's totally understandable, I hope you find what you are looking for. The best thing is that, at least for now, we can choose what kind of game we can play and / or do.

(+1)

he is rich as hell, its totally realistic.

(+2)(-1)

Sexiest character in this game is the main guy. My god him standing shirtless in the shower of the RV, soaked from the shower being buggy, he is sexy as all hell.

(+3)

This is the best, everyone can have their favorite character. I'm going to tell MC that he has a fan, I'm sure he's going to be very happy, your comment made his day!

(+1)(-3)

the only reason MC is so sexy....
is cos he is ME!.. like, literally, even has my name - Ghryst

(+1)

Ahhh! That's why!!

(+1)

This is godlike bro I'm really loving it, it's well thought out. The story is captivating and the characters are well rounded and not just used as sex tools like in most AVNs.. Honestly can't wait to get Emily away from that shit stain she calls her father but all in good time, Keep up the great work man

Hi Starset,

I'm glad you like it! Thanks for your words, and don't worry, we will get Emily out of that house!

I agree Starset. Emily is being treated like shit. Hopefully, Karma will get revenge on her dad, and he will end up waiting on ungrateful assholes, maybe in prison?

Hopefully more than prison hey, I'd personally like to beat the crap out of him lol

In prison, he might be sexually assaulted (over and over) and become someone's bitch. Way, way worse than a beating, IMO.

(+1)

Wow, I really need to remember to stay on your good side!

I agree that that would be much worse than a beating, but he is a really big guy... I don't know if he would end like that... but maybe he is just brave with little girls, those kind of assholes are that way... so who knows...

Either way, don't worry about it, Karma will get him, that's for sure!

The bigger they are, the harder they fall....

(2 edits) (+1)

Damn when you put it that way, you right...Prison is a better suited punishment cause he definitely will be sexually assaulted in prison if the other prisoners finds out he was charged with abuse and possibly Attempted rape/rape  of his own daughter 

(1 edit) (-2)

cant wait to get her out of that house.
rescue girls are always desperate to please their new owners :) and she's still young enough to not ben a waste of time and resources. 

(+2)

Yeah with that comment I think she's safer with her dad than with you lol

(-2)

c'mon, im not that bad, at least i wont be hitting her..
i'll just be poking her with a stick, a meat stick, a lot.

Lol either way she won't be living a very pleasant life

(-1)

it will be unbelievably pleasant.
so unbelievably pleasant that she wont even believe it herself 

(+1)

Yep, I really don't want to own her, but I want to get her out of there as soon as possible

(+1)

Game is excellent. One of the better AVN with writings, and scenes. A lot of thought went behind this. Support the good developers like OlecramID.

(+1)

Hey Hawkeye, thanks a lot for your words! I really tried to do my best and it's so nice when someone appreciate it. I just saw your pledge in my Patreon! I will send you a PM for the animations.

(1 edit)

Well this game looks as if it would be pretty good. Unfortunately it won't let me download it. Keeps telling me it can't accept my info. I will try and access from elsewhere.                                                                                           ..............

Hi Cheery!

It seems that is something wrong with your addresses, but don't worry, you can download it for free from my Patreon page:

Download links v.02 | OlecramId on Patreon

Hope it helps you!

(+1)

I actually managed to download it not long after posting :)

It says TSH v.02 would be released "in a few days", but it's been nearly two weeks. Is the time the full two weeks, or did you forget about itch.io?

(+1)

Hello, of course I didn't forget about itch.io!
The thing is that because of the Patreon's exclusive tiers I have to wait 14 days to the public release, and that will happen tomorrow!
So, you don't worry, I will update all links with the new version of the game tomorrow

It is pregnancy planned in the future?

The truth is that I never thought about pregnancy. I don't think that it will be present in the near future, but if people want, I don't mind to make a path that will go there...

ok, thanks for the response

(+1)

good intro, i look forward to more

(+2)

Thank you, I'm working on the next update as we speak

(-2)

nice game till now...if u ask me these is only 1 epic fail...to see the mc before shower time with a blue slip...why no boxer short...??? congrats for the work cant wait to see a new update...

(+3)

Wow, some strong feelings about a slip, but the truth is that I didn't even think about it. The next time I will use some boxers just for you!

I'm glad you liked the game, I hope to see you on the next update too!

(4 edits) (+1)

thats a really odd comment to be honest, boxer shorts are certainly not universal, i dont wear them, dont know many ppl that wear them at all. its culturally specific to certain countries.
and a Slip? that is female underwear, lingerie,  did you mean a towel? 

(-3)

probably u re gay man....im sorry for you.....

well, im not the one imagining some dude in a Slip... 
sorry for trying to help you save face in future, i'll leave you to it :D 

(-1)

(-4)

this is a man slip...a fucking gay like u seems to be...sad for u..i dont wear this shit sorry man....

(1 edit) (+1)

meanwhile, those are briefs. but obviously, as you said elsewhere, "sorry my english is bad....".
butt seriously,. boxers are entirely redundant, they do nothing that you pants dont already do.
men wearing clothing purely for vanity reasons = gay as fuck, seeing as you keep wanting to go there.
im also not the one posting pictures of men in underwear..

(+1)(-2)

Must say, glad I saw this pop up. Way prefer the 3d models for these sorts of games compared to anime styled ones. 

Glad you like it!

(+1)

Two and a half out of four is pretty good on my "oops all redheads" scale.

(+5)

You can never have enough redheads!

(+2)

That is my entire design philosophy!

on italian language we say...rossa di capelli golosa di uccelli....red hair greedy of dicks...dunno if its correcly translate but ok...

Is there a phrase for generously feeding redheads?

(+1)

is not so generously...its like to say...all the redheads girl are hungry of dicks and they are the best to fuck...but is a vulgar phrase tipical when boys are speaking about girls....sorry my english is bad....
