Hello! I was wondering if I join the beta access what is the difference between the 29.99 Pre-Order that says "Version 2" beneath it to the 45.00 Pre-Order and Beta Access that says "Version 1"? Also is the Fanbook digital or is it in a physical copy? Thank you for the help!
Hi there, the "Version 2" is just the annotation for the build version, it doesn't have any difference (the version 2 just occurred because I made a mistake and reuploaded the placeholder file)
For fanbook, it's digital for $60 tier. Physical version is available for the higher tier.
So exciting.This game looks funny and fantasy .But the waiting time would be too long.My friend talked me to play seiyuu danshi，but this one is more attracted.
Yeah, definitely play Seiyuu Danshi and maybe "follow" Meyaoi games so you get updated when Banana Ranch finally releases (I think there's a button on the right-hand side of the page that says “Follow Meyaoi Games," just click it 😊). (Tho being a part of the beta team is FUN! Join us...ufufufu 😈)
I feel ya, my dude q(≧▽≦q). If you want more updates/info, check out Meyaoi's twitter if you haven't already: https://twitter.com/meyaoigames It gets updated pretty frequently too, which is awesome XD
If you're asking if the full game will be free, I would say no. I'm guessing the purchase price will be similar to this dev's previous game, Seiyuu Danshi, which was about $33 USD.
However, as someone who's played Seiyuu Danshi and the Demo for Banana Ranch, I can tell you with 100% confidence that the purchase price is WORTH IT! You get a LOT of quality content, MANY hours of gameplay, and the games themselves have high replay value :D
Hi there. Did you pledge via Patreon / itch.io? If via Patreon, please contact me via e-mail and let me know your Patreon account name & new address. If via itch.io, I'll distribute reward survey forms later on where you can state the fixed delivery detail.
Sounds like the first ever english yaoi game to implement a marriage and kids system. That is quite awesome. I'll be following and preordering this game asap. Thank you for creating these two yaoi games, since I already own seiyuu danshi. They really mean alot to this niche fanbase we all are in. 🥰
Haha, I feel ya! I stalk Meyaoi's twitter account to an unhealthy degree, but I don't even care! All the updates we get are worth it, and she posts pretty frequently too! (here's a link if you haven't checked it out already ;p https://twitter.com/meyaoigames)
Omg right! I love how incorporated their system is, they put a lot into their games. Like for example, not all BL /YAOI OR LGBTQ content I buy, will have the protagonist as reversible, so that you can choose to be top or bottom, rather than having it chosen for you. But I understand adding on everything and more, requires a lot more funds. So people really have to be buying these games at the price you would almost pay for a console game. Which tbh I'm totally up for when the content is this great, lol!
Right?! This game (and Seiyuu Danshi) are 110% worth their purchase prices XD. (And I myself have had a blast spending a stupid amount of money on backing Banana Ranch, lol ;p. No regrets!)
I've bought the game with beta access($45), does it still show demo version when I open the game, or it's my own problem? If it is, can anyone tell me how to fix it?
Beta access: You get to play the game as it is being developed (updated with each love interest route finished) + the final game when it is officially released
Pre-order with no beta access: You get to play the final game when it is officially released
Question: Is there a time limit on the remaining 4 Ranch Employee NPC's? Like, will they be up for grabs up until the 1st beta test, or will they be removed sooner/later than that?
"Current expected release date for beta access (playable until the end, but with only 1 romance-able character) is Q1 2021. Expected release date for the final game is Q4 2022."
You can check the top of this page for any changes in expected date.
I'm playing the demo version and I've met all the characters but hunny?. Is there a particularly location in the game i need to visit in order to see his character?.
Oh really?! So would I just have to click the town map once I'm in my room?. I'm sorry for all the questions but I had one more is the campaign done or is there time to get Haves route to open up?
The campaign is done :). It originally went until January 31 but was extended another 2 months until March 31. I think we've gotten all the characters that we're gonna get at this point :)
I also think there will definitely be more "H" scenes in that there are more love interests, and we just got news via twitter that at least 1 character will have 20 CG's (Moocha), so all love interests might have a bit more CG/h scene content than the Seiyuu Danshi characters.
However, I think the actual length of 1 route will be the same as Seiyuu Danshi--while there are 3 years in Banana Ranch vs Seiyuu Danshi's 1 year, they are broken up into 4 seasons rather than twelve months. So, instead of playing 12 months with 30 days each for 1 year (12 x 30 x 1 = 360 "days"), you play 4 "seasons" with 30 days each for 3 years (4 x 30 x 3 = 360 "days"), so it works out to around the same length ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I really loved Seiyuu Danshi (still do) I played the demo of Banana Ranch so I'm having really high expectation. I sincerely thank you for your hard effort!
I'm confused whats going on? so i preordered it and when its released would i get a notification to tell me i can download it? is it the full game and will the new available characters be released with it? im lost help a fellow person :(
The Funding Campaign is over. Beta Testers will be able to play each route as the developer completes them so as to provide bug feedback. The completed game isn't expected until an as of yet determined date. The additional romance routes have, as you'd expect, pushed the release date back by quite a bit.
I would imagine that those who purchased packages that included Beta Testing as a perk will recieve some manner of notification when each route is ready to play.
Just putting this out there for any fellow dummies like me who didn't realize this--Meyaoi has a Twitter account that has many more updates on the development of this game! It appears to get Banana Ranch related posts/tweets pretty frequently, so I'd totally recommend keeping tabs on Twitter as well as here if you want lots of updates on how the game is progressing 😉👍
Basically, beta testing with 1 romantic route will start in around a year-ish (Q1 2021 = Jan-Mar 2021) with the official game release slated for Q4 2022 (Oct-Dec 2022 = approx 2.75 years from now). Hope that helps! :)
Is there any way or tiny chance Haves can be included as a bonus or something. I may be the only one willing to be a mysterious old owl's lab experiment, but still, he was the most interesting one to me. There has to be a way, please?
WE DID IT, GUYS!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! ٩(ᗒᗨᗕ)۶. Managing to raise $46,823 is amazing, and Meyaoi said/implied in her post that this final push over $45,000 was made due to those donating on the last day! So, thank you all so much who gave, you made Howl's route possible!
(For curiosity's sake, does anyone know if any other NPC's we purchased at the last minute? Either the Cat Cafe Owner or the Shop Owner? And I think it's cool that people can still design a few more Ranch employees :D)
Really?! Wow, I actually wasn't expecting that. I thought we'd get to the end of the campaign with neither of the bodyguards purchased, but I'm glad I was wrong ;)
I want him to honestly (more than the wolf). But sadly, it doesn't look like we'll get him. I do like the wolf though, but Howl is the type I'd love to see in the story. We'll likely get the wolf (about 50/50). Maybe tomorrow Meyaoi will show that we got both? I don't think we did though, at least now Howl =(
Lol, the furry-ness may contribute, but I think he's cool enough that he intrigues a lot of "non-furry's" too--or at least people who wouldn't typically identify themselves as a furry (like, does shipping Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Zootopia make me a furry? Like, it's not that I find anthropomorphic animals especially sexy, but I think relationships between them can be interesting? But it's on the same level of interest that I hold human couples or alien/fantasy couples. Does that make me a furry?? I don't know!)
Heh, I'm interested in the Howl route more because I like the fact that he's a police officer who is also the subject of discrimination from what I read? Which could prove to be an interesting storyline. I just hope that me getting the complete physical pack just now helps push it to or over the goal!
Yes, you hit the nail on the head about what's so interesting about him! He's definitely feared by members of the community for being mostly "beast," and is thus fairly mysterious--like, he doesn't appear to have any friends or anyone who knows him well. Also, the police thing is pretty cool--I was pretty stoked when we got Ginger as a Route Character too :). But the fact that he's such an enigma and feared entity in the community but still became the chief of police says he's definitely got a strong character and goes for what he wants, which is admirable :)
I'm hoping that's the case--cuz if we don't make it, it'll probably only be by maybe $200 at most which is SO CLOSE that 5 more beta access purchases will make up the difference, which will undoubtedly happen in April, so hopefully she'll still give us Howl? Hopefully?? I know a lot of people will be super bummed if we don't get him even though we were so close :(
(But I do admit I'm hoping someone will purchase the Cat Cafe Owner NPC tomorrow, which will definitely bump us over $45,000. FINGERS CROSSED!!!! >_<)
Yes! Another Main NPC purchase! xD. Only $1,350 left to go guys, and we have a little over a week to do it--we can make it! Only 2 main NPC's and 4 Ranch Employees left to go, so grab them up by the 31st~~the physical rewards will still be available after, but not the designable characters, so get'em while you still can ;p. (Seriously, 1 more main NPC + 1 Ranch Employee, and we have Howl in the bag XD).
Also, I hope everyone is staying smart, safe, and calm in this time of upheaval <3. Stay home if you can, catch up on all those movies/books/video games you haven't had time to play, and keep social distancing (2 metres) and wash your hands often if you still have to venture out to work like I do :)
I have a feeling that's an ambitious and time-consuming endeavor that they won't do (^_^). Needing to get the game working on a different operating system, on a smaller scale, etc. would be an entirely new project with probably little financial benefit.
I have an idea! What if MeYaoi allowed us to raise the rest of the money for Howl's route when the campaign ends? Since so many people have already given money for his route and are hoping for it. We've already raised almost 2000$ for him and we'll probably raise up to 3000$ by the end of March. But we may not be able to raise all of it...😔
Right? I'm really hoping that most recent Ranch Employee Pledge isn't included in the most recent total--cuz if it is? Ouch :(. Here's hoping for some last minute NPC pledges!
Played this on my channel a while back. Very impressed with the worldbuilding and number of routes to pursue. Very excited for the full game when it releases!
Aaaaaagh! Both hope inducing and disappointing at the same time! I seriously wish i had known about this project campaign back when it first started. T-T
Oh, i purchased the $45 tier a little over a week ago. I was just saying that if I had known about this project back when it first started i would've saved more for it.
Gdnarned it, hey? That's awesome that you're part of the beta team now, but I must concur that as someone who discovered the game in around November, it gave me more time to both save money and convince myself to spend it on this game (^_^;). Probably too much, to be honest, but I figured that I have a job and don't really spend my money on much besides necessities, so supporting an indie game developer to create another fabulous game seemed a decent way to spend it ;p
(Seriously--I spent a LOT. Like, it started with the $45.00 beta access [which is really like $60.00 to me since I'm Canadian]...but then a month later, I thought that the Ranch Employee pledge sounded like a really cool way to be a part of the game, and it had the lowest price of that reward tier, so, hey! Why not? But then...once I was communicating with the developer around a month after that about my character design, I found that I loved the process SO MUCH that I wondered how much MORE exciting it would be to design a main NPC!........so yeah, that love hotel couple is mine (^_^;). I probably spent around a total $2,015 Canadian dollars in pledges for this game...all I can say is the process has been super fun, and I'm banking on Meyaoi's good track record on seeing this game thru, cuz it's a legit investment for me now, lol)
Wow! Can't wait to see your characters! So jealous!
I found Seiyuu Danshi by accident about a year ago and decided to try it since I liked the art work and how versatile the gameplay was (which is pretty nonexistent for VNs). I fell in love with the characters almost immediately, and kind of the same thing, I was like "Why have i not seen this anywhere before!?"
And then i saw it wasn't free and was like "oh...that's why".
And then i found Banana Ranch only at the end of last month and was like "Mother ######!"
Then i saw the cat cafe tier and was like "Why did i have to happen to just buy a new car!?!?"
Yeah, I'm pretty excited! XD. And ah man, bad timing with the car! I'm living that city bus life, which is a pain but definitely is saving me money for now. And that cat cafe tier was pretty tempting--I almost went for that one, but decided that since it was the actual *designing* part that got me excited, I'd get more bang for my buck with the hotel couple (^_^;).
And wow, my experience of finding Seiyuu Danshi is almost the same as yours, except I pretty much found it the month it officially released. So, I was more like, "Why I no find you in development stage?!"

Im so excited
I feel ya, my dude q(≧▽≦q). If you want more updates/info, check out Meyaoi's twitter if you haven't already: https://twitter.com/meyaoigames
It gets updated pretty frequently too, which is awesome XD
Can this run on 32-bit operating system, and seiyuu danshi too?
Yeah, it should support Windows (32bit and 64bit), Mac (probably not the Catalina version, though), and Linux.
Thank you, i hope my old pc can run those
You can download the demo and check if it works with your PC. If it runs well, full version will run okay as well.
will this full game will bea free??
If you're asking if the full game will be free, I would say no. I'm guessing the purchase price will be similar to this dev's previous game, Seiyuu Danshi, which was about $33 USD.

How could I change my delivery address for the physical part (Basic Physical Pack) ? (I'm gonna move out before the reception)
Hi there. Did you pledge via Patreon / itch.io? If via Patreon, please contact me via e-mail and let me know your Patreon account name & new address. If via itch.io, I'll distribute reward survey forms later on where you can state the fixed delivery detail.
It is via itch.io, thank you for the quick answer :D
Sounds like the first ever english yaoi game to implement a marriage and kids system. That is quite awesome. I'll be following and preordering this game asap. Thank you for creating these two yaoi games, since I already own seiyuu danshi. They really mean alot to this niche fanbase we all are in. 🥰
Amen! Are you gonna get in on the beta testing action? 😉
1000% quite excited

you are a godsend lol thank you

When can I receive the physical items if I purchase physical pack?
Physical items will be delivered several months after the final game release.
I've bought the game with beta access($45), does it still show demo version when I open the game, or it's my own problem? If it is, can anyone tell me how to fix it?
Hey there, beta access period hasn't started yet. You can see the top of this page for current expected date.
So does it means that I can only play the demo version at this moment?
Yeah
Since I already have the 29.99 pre-order, do I need to pay for another 45 for the beta access?
I'm pretty sure you'd just need to pay the difference, but I'm not 100% sure on the method of payment you'd use 😅
Beta access: You get to play the game as it is being developed (updated with each love interest route finished) + the final game when it is officially released
Pre-order with no beta access: You get to play the final game when it is officially released
Question: Is there a time limit on the remaining 4 Ranch Employee NPC's? Like, will they be up for grabs up until the 1st beta test, or will they be removed sooner/later than that?
Probably around 2 months before first beta / when I finish up the ranch interview stuff.
Gotcha, thanks Meyaoi! *quietly goes to check bank account and US to CAD exchange rates*
Hi I purchased Banana Ranch Game + Beta Access + Fanbook and was wondering when can I get to play them?
When the 1st route if finished.
And when's that? :)
"Current expected release date for beta access (playable until the end, but with only 1 romance-able character) is Q1 2021. Expected release date for the final game is Q4 2022."
You can check the top of this page for any changes in expected date.
Alright thank you very much, and I'm sorry for bothering you '^^
I'm playing the demo version and I've met all the characters but hunny?. Is there a particularly location in the game i need to visit in order to see his character?.
You need to go outside town at night & you can meet him at the night bar.
oh I see! That probably won't happened until the full version is released? for the people who bought the $85 tier when will the merch to sent out?
? Ah, no, I mean, you can go outside your room at night. You can do that in demo.
Merch won't be sent out before the game is finished.
Oh really?! So would I just have to click the town map once I'm in my room?. I'm sorry for all the questions but I had one more is the campaign done or is there time to get Haves route to open up?
The campaign is done :). It originally went until January 31 but was extended another 2 months until March 31. I think we've gotten all the characters that we're gonna get at this point :)
Will there be a similar amount of h scenes as in Seiyuu Danshi or will there be more?
Probably more since there are more love interest and the game has 3 years instead of 1 like seiyuu did.
I also think there will definitely be more "H" scenes in that there are more love interests, and we just got news via twitter that at least 1 character will have 20 CG's (Moocha), so all love interests might have a bit more CG/h scene content than the Seiyuu Danshi characters.

I really loved Seiyuu Danshi (still do) I played the demo of Banana Ranch so I'm having really high expectation. I sincerely thank you for your hard effort!
Though the game has no offical date guide, I can already tell that Howl is going to be the hardet one to romance
I pre-ordered this for 60$ but never got the email to beta test when does it start?
Next year for beta and the release date is a year after
Okay thanks so much for the reply I was confused.
happy to help
I'm confused whats going on? so i preordered it and when its released would i get a notification to tell me i can download it? is it the full game and will the new available characters be released with it? im lost help a fellow person :(
The Funding Campaign is over. Beta Testers will be able to play each route as the developer completes them so as to provide bug feedback. The completed game isn't expected until an as of yet determined date. The additional romance routes have, as you'd expect, pushed the release date back by quite a bit.
I would imagine that those who purchased packages that included Beta Testing as a perk will recieve some manner of notification when each route is ready to play.
oh ok, thank you
Just putting this out there for any fellow dummies like me who didn't realize this--Meyaoi has a Twitter account that has many more updates on the development of this game! It appears to get Banana Ranch related posts/tweets pretty frequently, so I'd totally recommend keeping tabs on Twitter as well as here if you want lots of updates on how the game is progressing 😉👍
the chicken-boy laying eggs through his butt weirded me out @_@
aww the last character tho...*sulk* owe well..
Technically, Haves is not the last character. Raion doesn't have his route too. Anyway, i'm already really happy with 12 bachelors that we have now ^^
I feel you lol, I was actually looking forward to his route... I'm still excited about having 12 bachelors tho
LOVE the new character profiles! XD
I wonder, around when is the game due? Any possible dates?
You can see that in Meyaoi's post here: https://meyaoi.itch.io/bananaranch/devlog/134380/its-a-wrap-howl-route-achieved
Basically, beta testing with 1 romantic route will start in around a year-ish (Q1 2021 = Jan-Mar 2021) with the official game release slated for Q4 2022 (Oct-Dec 2022 = approx 2.75 years from now). Hope that helps! :)
I want Lion too... Lions are so lovely and hot in Beastars manga... In anime we almost haven't seen them closely yet.
Beastars! SUCH a great manga, I haven't read it in probably over a year--super stoked to catch up on all those chapters :D
Is there any way or tiny chance Haves can be included as a bonus or something. I may be the only one willing to be a mysterious old owl's lab experiment, but still, he was the most interesting one to me. There has to be a way, please?
No joke, I would pay money to be able to play him after the game's been developed and released lol
WE DID IT, GUYS!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! ٩(ᗒᗨᗕ)۶. Managing to raise $46,823 is amazing, and Meyaoi said/implied in her post that this final push over $45,000 was made due to those donating on the last day! So, thank you all so much who gave, you made Howl's route possible!
(For curiosity's sake, does anyone know if any other NPC's we purchased at the last minute? Either the Cat Cafe Owner or the Shop Owner? And I think it's cool that people can still design a few more Ranch employees :D)
I saw that one of the bodyguards was bought last night around midnight.
Really?! Wow, I actually wasn't expecting that. I thought we'd get to the end of the campaign with neither of the bodyguards purchased, but I'm glad I was wrong ;)
Is sad. I want Howl to. Want to cry 😭.
please do this for us furries, Meyaoi...for our sake and the community
I want Howl as a love interest, that's the only reason I bought this game, please make it possible
I want him to honestly (more than the wolf). But sadly, it doesn't look like we'll get him. I do like the wolf though, but Howl is the type I'd love to see in the story. We'll likely get the wolf (about 50/50). Maybe tomorrow Meyaoi will show that we got both? I don't think we did though, at least now Howl =(
Last update was on the 25th so we'll know in time if Meyaoi updates. maybe it's me just being a furry and he's the hottest in my opinion.
Lol, the furry-ness may contribute, but I think he's cool enough that he intrigues a lot of "non-furry's" too--or at least people who wouldn't typically identify themselves as a furry (like, does shipping Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Zootopia make me a furry? Like, it's not that I find anthropomorphic animals especially sexy, but I think relationships between them can be interesting? But it's on the same level of interest that I hold human couples or alien/fantasy couples. Does that make me a furry?? I don't know!)
Heh, I'm interested in the Howl route more because I like the fact that he's a police officer who is also the subject of discrimination from what I read?

But the fact that he's such an enigma and feared entity in the community but still became the chief of police says he's definitely got a strong character and goes for what he wants, which is admirable :)
Sooooo close! Only $726 left!!!
WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
I wonder if Meyaoi will take pity on us since we got so close?
I'm hoping that's the case--cuz if we don't make it, it'll probably only be by maybe $200 at most which is SO CLOSE that 5 more beta access purchases will make up the difference, which will undoubtedly happen in April, so hopefully she'll still give us Howl? Hopefully?? I know a lot of people will be super bummed if we don't get him even though we were so close :(
(But I do admit I'm hoping someone will purchase the Cat Cafe Owner NPC tomorrow, which will definitely bump us over $45,000. FINGERS CROSSED!!!! >_<)
Yes! Another Main NPC purchase! xD. Only $1,350 left to go guys, and we have a little over a week to do it--we can make it! Only 2 main NPC's and 4 Ranch Employees left to go, so grab them up by the 31st~~the physical rewards will still be available after, but not the designable characters, so get'em while you still can ;p.

Stay home if you can, catch up on all those movies/books/video games you haven't had time to play, and keep social distancing (2 metres) and wash your hands often if you still have to venture out to work like I do :)
I've been wondering. Can the Creator(s) create a demo, for Android? (apk
I have a feeling that's an ambitious and time-consuming endeavor that they won't do (^_^). Needing to get the game working on a different operating system, on a smaller scale, etc. would be an entirely new project with probably little financial benefit.
So, I'm gonna guess the answer is no.
Does anyone know if the Basic Physical Pack will still be up for grabs after the 31st?
All packs excluding NPC and ranch employee tiers can still be bought after 31st.
Ok, phew! I really want to get that level, but may not be able to comfortably do so this month, so I was worried that I might miss out on it.
I have an idea! What if MeYaoi allowed us to raise the rest of the money for Howl's route when the campaign ends? Since so many people have already given money for his route and are hoping for it. We've already raised almost 2000$ for him and we'll probably raise up to 3000$ by the end of March. But we may not be able to raise all of it...😔
Right? I'm really hoping that most recent Ranch Employee Pledge isn't included in the most recent total--cuz if it is? Ouch :(. Here's hoping for some last minute NPC pledges!
I'm wondering, will there be descriptions for Grizz, Thunder and Sterion and (maybe) Howl?
Bruh, his name be "Grizz," not "Griff" lol ;p. "Grizz" for "Grizzly Bear"
As to your actual question, probably not until after March 31, would be my guess :). Meyaoi may see this question and answer it definitively, tho :)
Thanks, changed it :)
Played this on my channel a while back. Very impressed with the worldbuilding and number of routes to pursue. Very excited for the full game when it releases!
Im wondering.. when does the beta testing start??
When the first romance route is done. Game will be updated with every time a route is finished.
Aaaaaagh! Both hope inducing and disappointing at the same time! I seriously wish i had known about this project campaign back when it first started. T-T
Welp, you're not quite too late! There's still 3 weeks left to contribute and gain beta access or other digital & physical goodies ;)
Oh, i purchased the $45 tier a little over a week ago. I was just saying that if I had known about this project back when it first started i would've saved more for it.
Gdnarned it, hey? That's awesome that you're part of the beta team now, but I must concur that as someone who discovered the game in around November, it gave me more time to both save money and convince myself to spend it on this game (^_^;). Probably too much, to be honest, but I figured that I have a job and don't really spend my money on much besides necessities, so supporting an indie game developer to create another fabulous game seemed a decent way to spend it ;p
(Seriously--I spent a LOT. Like, it started with the $45.00 beta access [which is really like $60.00 to me since I'm Canadian]...but then a month later, I thought that the Ranch Employee pledge sounded like a really cool way to be a part of the game, and it had the lowest price of that reward tier, so, hey! Why not? But then...once I was communicating with the developer around a month after that about my character design, I found that I loved the process SO MUCH that I wondered how much MORE exciting it would be to design a main NPC!........so yeah, that love hotel couple is mine (^_^;). I probably spent around a total $2,015 Canadian dollars in pledges for this game...all I can say is the process has been super fun, and I'm banking on Meyaoi's good track record on seeing this game thru, cuz it's a legit investment for me now, lol)
Wow! Can't wait to see your characters! So jealous!
I found Seiyuu Danshi by accident about a year ago and decided to try it since I liked the art work and how versatile the gameplay was (which is pretty nonexistent for VNs). I fell in love with the characters almost immediately, and kind of the same thing, I was like "Why have i not seen this anywhere before!?"
And then i saw it wasn't free and was like "oh...that's why".
And then i found Banana Ranch only at the end of last month and was like "Mother ######!"
Then i saw the cat cafe tier and was like "Why did i have to happen to just buy a new car!?!?"
I swear the Yaoi God has it out for me!
Yeah, I'm pretty excited! XD. And ah man, bad timing with the car! I'm living that city bus life, which is a pain but definitely is saving me money for now. And that cat cafe tier was pretty tempting--I almost went for that one, but decided that since it was the actual *designing* part that got me excited, I'd get more bang for my buck with the hotel couple (^_^;).
And wow, my experience of finding Seiyuu Danshi is almost the same as yours, except I pretty much found it the month it officially released. So, I was more like, "Why I no find you in development stage?!"
We can do this!!!!
