I have loved this game ever since I ran across it. Just a fun game love the girls and their personalities and love the music too! What a great mix. You can tell you quite versed in the musical world. I did jazz orchestra and marching as well in high school. I miss those times occasionally. Anyway thanks it's a fun game. Wish you had a patreon account. Thanks creating this cool world.
Hey there, thanks for the encouragement. I'm really glad to hear this game is getting some folks excited about classical music, if only for a little while. Unsurprisingly, it's a topic that's near and dear to me.
Might be an unlikely format to foster appreciation for instrumental music, but it's certainly what I know best. And if this game can inspire someone to dip their toe into the world of classical music, jazz, or what have you; then that alone is enough to make the hundreds of hours I've put into building this project worth it. Thanks again for stopping by.
It has renewed my appreciation for the classical music. It is perhaps an unconventional format but it a good one. I've really enjoyed it. If you ever get a patreon site let me know. Thanks again!
It's true. The game is very railroaded. So much so that it barely qualifies as one in my book. You just watch scenes play out in one way and you as a "player" have no say in the matter. It's almost a KN.
You're correct. This project is highly prescriptive by design, and it's a good point to consider for anyone on the fence about downloading the game.
If a lack of player agency and meaningful decision-making is a deal breaker for someone scrolling through these comments, then Perfect Pitch might not be for you.
If you're open to an experience where the author attempts to create rich, meaningful, and hopefully organic experiences between characters in an interesting way, then this could be worth your time.
At any rate, thanks for the opportunity to clarify this point about my game.
So just started playing this today and I fell down the rabbit hole for 6 hours. Loving your characters, even the MC, who i usually have a hard time relating to VN but damn you have a knack for this. 6 hours and I know I have so much more to get through.
That's super nice of you to say. Thanks, I appreciate it.
If I can ask, any idea roughly how many of the events you have made your way through when you made this comment? I have my own short hand for estimating playtime and I'm curious to hear about how much content 6 hours translates to, at least in your experience.
I'm not exactly sure to be honest. I tend to play a bit slow as I like to reread most dialogue once or twice to make sure I am actually understanding what the author is trying to say. Oh but I did notice that I went on the first date with Lyndsey without doing the scene in the concert choir class where the MC talks to her in Korean for a moment and she invites us to join her in searching for fossils. I did that scene after going on the date with her. It didn't seem to break anything but it did disorient me for a moment.
I'm a bit stumped on the Lyndsie date bug. Both the archived 0.4 script and my active script seem to be written correctly for this event chain. Couldn't replicate it with a new game either. Maybe someone down the road will see this bug and comment, and offer some insight.
I thought it was weird too cause I hadn't even been told I could invite Lyndsie on a date yet. Just woke up on a saturday and was going on the date with her. Had something similar happen with Willow. Went to meditate at the shrine for the first time and she was there to give me pointers on meditation but then the next time I saw her in the choir room she asked me if I meditate. Just wondered if these were in the correct order or not. But I have to say again how much I am enjoying this story. The story with Lily is just next level and if it wasn't for the existence of Jayd I'd say Lily was my absolute favorite. But all the girls that are willing to give us the time of day are so much fun to interact with. No idea if I've done everything that can be done so far but I think I have and I can't wait to see what more you have instore for the future. Can't forget to give some love to the non S-wing girls as well. They have personalities and they add great depth to the story.
okay dumb question so if you repeat a date dose that count towards the onsen progress or no and is it worth grinding out now or is it gonna tell me its coming soo once i do??
Not a dumb question at all, but yes it does count. There are no onsen events yet and there won't be for a good long while. I don't really want to say more because that whole bit is in a very murky planning state right now.
It's not my place or anyone's place to tell you how to play the game, but I will say that I didn't build this with the intention of grinding as a completion condition. The idea is that these conditions would be satisfied naturally over the course of the game and its updates once I get around to it. You're more than welcome to hang around exclusively for the H-scenes, but for the sake of transparency I should tell you that the erotic stuff is not my only focus here. In fact I hesitate to even call it a focus as it is really more a consequence of this type of story telling. Hope that answers your question.
it did thank you very much and its all good if the story is good (which it really is ) then im okay with not alot of erotic/h scenes so no worry's there i was just more or less asking if it was worth it and as of now its not so all good ill wait also there's 3 gallery images that are locked not sure how to unlock them as ive done all the events that are listed i would post a screen shot of it but no idea how to do the spoiler thing on here for pictures
That's okay, I have a pretty good guess of which ones you are talking about. If the 3 locked gallery images you're referring to are in row 2 of the Math Homework toggle, and they are the three left-most images, then you may want to explore sleepovers a bit more.
Not unless you've completely deleted older versions of Perfect Pitch from your computer. I recognize your screen name, so I know that you've been around since at least the previous release and likely have a save file that the 0.4 version can call upon.
To account for new information getting revealed, new occurrences, new feelings, and that sort of thing; this game locks some events behind a set of pre-requisites. Said another way, information in event "A" and "B" is critical to understand event "C". So event "C" remains locked behind the A & B pre-requisites.
In a future update, the event list menu will have a little lock icon next to events which have yet to have their pre-requisite events completed. This way you aren't chasing your tail from class to class or date to date.
In the meantime, take a look at this event list to see what all has or has not been completed. If an event doesn't appear to trigger, you probably need to complete a different event first.
The Niedermeyer event has more pre-requisites than any other event at the moment because it's so big. To get this to proc you'll need to have completed Mountain Girl, Putting Down Roots, Delight & Despair, Tutto a Posto, Real or Imagined?, and Good Company. The Niedermeyer event also procs on Fridays only.
The lock icon in future updates should help address this sort of confusion.
I loaded a old save from the last update . Where the game left off it was still the end of the game. So I thought I would have to start all over again.
The game should effectively loop on forever, so without seeing exactly what you're seeing, my only advice is to right click while in the game and click the Event List. From there, you should see events yet to be completed in purple. You may have to scroll quite a ways to find the events I mentioned in my comment above.
I don't know what the hell you're planning with Kaylyn, but there needs to have a redemption for what she does. And I need to know... is this game gonna be a harem? With all that talk with Jayd and choosing the one and only, makes me think this game will not be a harem game.
Moreover, if this game is actually a harem game then, I hope it'll be an actual harem for the MC. It's sickening to see polyamory games call themselves harem games, even though they are really not. I'm hoping this game won't be another copy of Lessons in Love, with all the heartbreaking events with the lesbians stuff. For once, I want to see a normal school setting of a game, without it being a copy of LiL.
A notice, there's a bug with Willow's relationship points. I don't know at what point this occurred, but the number eventually changed to "True" then right after adding another point, the entire count restarts once again from 1.
Lastly, that blueballing with Aly though... I think the MC deserves some sex after all the decent time he has stayed in school. That feature about the onsen though, hoping that can come soon.
Firstly, thank you for pointing out that issue with Willow's relationship points. That error has now been corrected in the live release. The rest of this comment is as much for you as anyone else visiting my page.
Secondly, and to perhaps address the rest of your comments/concerns and then some, let me be quite clear that I am making this all up as I go.
This game is free for a reason: I develop it in my free time because it is fun to do so. Do I have a vague, general direction that I want this project to go? Yes. Do these nebulous sketches I keep in my phone's notepad change and evolve from one release to another? Of course they do.
Like so very many other visual novel developers, but particularly those developing with Renpy+KK, I certainly do take cues from LIL.
Selebus is a well-established trailblazer of this medium and deservedly so. But Perfect Pitch is hardly a copy of Lessons in Love any more than modern composers "copy" Mozart, Rossini, Saint-Saens, and so on.
The "DNA" encoded into the seminal works of these giants of classical music, and similarly that of Selebus for the purpose of my long-winded metaphor, will and should appear, in some fashion, into the works that follow— Selebus stands on many shoulders, too.
I develop this game, first and foremost, for myself. It's a creative outlet like any other. And in doing so, I am not beholden to a small group of patrons that feed me and keep my utilities running. Perfect Pitch is simply a hobby for me, albeit a time consuming one. And this approach to development is what has produced the version of Perfect Pitch that is available to anyone who wishes to give it a try today, for whatever that's worth.
-------------------------------
Will Perfect Pitch be a "harem" game according to the strictest definition of the term?
Maybe, I honestly don't know.
Will Perfect Pitch follow a logical, well-structured, organized series of events that seamlessly cascade from one release to another?
Almost certainly not.
Will Perfect Pitch be a game that attempts to deliver an experience where characters interact with each other in interesting and meaningful ways, so long as the developer has fun and enjoys doing so?
Thanks for the response, and well... as much I would want to see something I play be something I would actually like, then... I guess I'll keep on playing until I find some unpleasant thing I found about the game and immediately quit. Yeah, even with all of my preference and dislikes, I still enjoyed so many parts of the game as is.

I do wish the game gave you more options... i hope a future update will do something about that.

those would be the ones lol okay i will do tha
In love with this game. Carolina Crown praise AND Sam O'Nella references? Pure art.
DO i have to start a new game to get the new content?

You might be able to squeeze an "Erotic" tag in there as well.
Oh! I almost missed this! Please developer, if you are still working on this and plan to include any 18+ content in-game, then add the
"Adult" and "NSFW" tags to the game description.
The "Eroge" tag alone is not enough, to make the game easy to find on itch.
Thanks for the free game :)
Thanks for the tip! I've added those tags.
Keep an eye out for a new release in the next couple of weeks.
very noice so far keep it up
