Tennis Ace
Version 0.71 (Shoichi Bad Path) - Public Release
Good afternoon,
Since the update was about three and a half days late on Patreon, I tried to match that with the countdown into making it public. This one only continues the bad path in Shoichi's route as that didn't get updated with the last Shoichi update (i.e. if instead of the sex scene or Yuuichi and Shoichi talking about boundaries and having a short makeout session, Shoichi instead pushes too far and Yuuichi breaks down, kicking him out of the house).
I also got some help from Devilizer of Stormsinger Studios (devs of Santa Lucia and Homecoming: Morenatsu Revisited) who did some expression work for me in the early hours of the morning since Nyaruh wouldn't be awake then to help me out and I didn't want to postpone the update any further. Real life saver there!
Important disclaimer: In case there is an issue that causes older player saves to stop working, there really is nothing that can be done about that. Sometimes, changes are made to the code that makes some/all old saves stop working and I can't avoid making them at times. If that happens, use the 'Skip to Next Choice' function (alongside Skip Unread if needed) to get to the point where you stopped.
Changelog:
- Shoichi's latest day, continued from the path that hadn't been updated last time (the bad path)
- New expressions for Shoichi
- Small graphical tweaks to a specific scene in Jun's route right after the big "event" that happens on day 26
I hope you all enjoy this update! If you liked the game, consider supporting me on Patreon, it's what pays my bills as well as completely funds the development of the Tennis Ace.
See you all again for the next update!

To think that during my first gameplay and saves, I was on the bad path of Shoichi's route. I didn't even know there were separate paths. 😭
Gosh im somwhat glad i lost my saves. ☠️
*spoilers for latest ch*
When Yuichi thought to himself "the teachers surprisingly handsome like this" and then internally paniked I wonder what that was about. This is the first time we see him intresetd in a character outside of the dateable 4. WOTB does a great job at putting in foreshadowing like the "one step at a time" quote in the last day, so I got really worried thinking he might date the teacher instead or the teacher might do something really bad. At the same time it could have just been forshadowing to the teacher being gay, am I reading into this line too much? Why would the author put such a out of place thought if it wasnt significant to the story? Im preparing for the worst, what do you guys think?
Sho's lust expression in the bed scene is terrifying, but if you add a sudden zoom-in on the sprites with that face, it definitely makes a jumpscare to the scene 🤫
I don't know what Sho going to do after all that cuz I feel like everything goes against him at this point 😓 (If you choose all bad choices in the bad path)
Are there any intentions to introduce additional routes?
I know its not path c. But the cliffhanger on path A got my heart feeling like thats the bad path. Like omgggg literally had me saying "not this" out loud. I hope it works out, imma just be sobbing till then lol
Yes, I know what you mean. Gosh, I've played this game in a long time, and when everything was going okay-ish, it just had to stop with this terrible cliffhanger.😭😭😭😭💀🔫
It was really shock me, the face that Shoichi made from "The bad path" is horrifying, it's really give me chill right to my bone, can't wait to see the next update :D
i was expecting that some choices would end up in a bad path, but damn to have a Bad Route? i'm too scared to try and see it now.
Oh man...
I'm really invested in this path, I feel bad for these two but at the same time I wanna see where this goes, I feel so conflicted about liking this more than the other routes.
I am so so so so so glad I did not end up with the bad path, I'm just gonna wait for the update on his good path.
same man
I do not want to know what goes down in the bad path now
Thats a scary face. This update was hard to get through ngl. But as always, very well done.
I just decided to finally try the bad path with this update. It is hard to through, extremely so, especially the endpoint of that update, you know?
how can i get shoichi bad path
try to be as controlling of him as possible
so which choice should i pick lead to bad path
idk. categorize the choices I suppose. Pick all the ones that "feel" like they're the same sentiment, and if that doesn't work, go back and try all the choices that "feel" like the other sentiment
Ask help from Saya with college stuff instead of relationship advice and insist on asking him for info instead of letting it go and allowing Sho to cool off.
No idea what it will lead to, since i havent made these choises but anyway here they are
thank for the info also do you know the cg between kensuke sex and shower cg? where can you get it
Keisuke has 2 sex scenes that day, depending on what you did during the tennis practice with him. If i remember correctly, Kei will bottom if you choose to "Conserve energy" and will top if you choose to "Push harder".
didnt play his route, sorry x)
Pick "Let it go" on Day 26 and "College offer" on Day 29 to get to the new "bad path".
Letting it go is a good choise actually, after that choise everyone related stated that pushing and insisting doesnt work well with Sho
I was talking about how to get to the new bad path. Combination of these two choices was the only way to get to the scene where Shoichi pushes Yuu too hard and gets kicked out of the house. Every other combination i tried either lead to a sex scene or a makeout session.
And i disagree on "Let it go" being a good choice in that situation. Its just adds to the "lack of communication" problem. If the couple had a fight in the short term (after you choose to "Keep pushing", but failing to convince him to see his mother), at least they address this and try to communicate better, instead of letting the issue fester.
Thats weird, cos i chose letting it go and discussing boundaries and it resulted in sex scene. The game even praised me for achieving the best outcome
You can get the sex scene as long as you asked for a Relationship advice from Saya, be it on Route A (chose "Keep pushing" and convinced Sho to see his mother) or B (chose "Let it go"). And for that day specifically the sex scene was the best outcome.
I just think out of 3 outcomes of Day 26, "Let it go" was the worst one. Shoichi is just overworking himself and lashes out on others (like in the scene with Kiga on Day 31), while Yuuichi is too scared to say or do anything about it for a while.
When you ask Saya to come over, talk with her about the university thing instead about Shoichi and sex, that will probably insinuate the bad path
