This still alive? Just curious.
I can confirm that it is not “dead”. But I can't say yet when I'll continue.
can you make a save bar or load bar i sometimes had to press reverse a lot times so hard where i end it at the story and how i can re-choosing it thanks also a gallery after discover all scenes. :D
I feel like this game could use a detailed guide for how to get to some routes.
I'll think about it after I finish the game
42 days without updates💀
Patience pays. Don't rush the writer.
But I starving for the updatee
Maybe other as well xd (dont take this too seriously)
Believe me , I am as well but being patient is always rewarding. So let's just wait
I'll try to write more once I get back into it. For now, I'm grateful that so many of you have enjoyed it so far :)
Your welcome
Hi, you haven't been seen for 60 days, does your appearance mean that we will soon receive the long-awaited update?🥹
Is the update coming soon?🥹
Does the panther have a route or is a side interaction.
For now it's a side interaction.
Oh cool. But I kinda wish we could also try dating him
If I can find a good way to give him his own route, I'll have it in mind. But I don't think I'll do it just for the sake of it.
Love the professor route. Forbidden love all so sweet. Can't wait for more .
Yay its here!!! thank you :)
hey why all of a sudden will it not load. i was playing like a week ago just fine. i like this game
I can't tell you why. When I try to start it everything runs normally.
im stupid. it was a problem on my end. keep up the good work
any sort of timeline for next update?
I love this game and its story, and I would love to have more info on update timings
Thank you for your appreciation, but unfortunately I cannot give you an exact time. At some point I'll probably feel like it again and devote myself to writing again. All I can say right now is that the next update will be spontaneous...
good，i like it
Waiting for next update :3
Just curious, how far are we from v1.11?
At the moment I'm not working much on the next update. It may take some time :)
I love it! Just wanted to ask: Is there a way to save XD? I had to make choices again to get where I left off last time ;w; (Phone user)
Love jason so much, thanks for that amazing scene
Suggestion, Add a back to home on endings, and add a library of images, maybe unlocked through reaching endings (or temp endings).
Clicking on an image/text could maybe take the player to the passage where the image is, if the player wishes for the context.
The ideas are good and I had them too. However, I would have to write code for each scene, so I think I'll do that towards the end of the story when everything else is finished.
could you add a html download on the page so that it can be installed from browser instead of needing itch app?
I'm no expert, but as far as I know there is no other way on Itch Io to have your game play in a browser and be downloadable at the same time as there is currently.
If format is the issue it wouldn't be just an html file, but instead a zip with the html and then the assets in their own folders inside.
Game size may be another possible reason why downloads aren't possible (itch . io has an approx 1-2 GB size limit.)
But I do see games with both options, so it is possible to have both.
Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll read/think about it again, but it's not a priority for me right now.
more please
How can I download the game?
I can't find the link.
pardon me, i really need help. i have downloaded the game, but i'm stuck on how to access it because it's not like zip file that can be extracted.
can someone tell me a way to access it? or perhaps will it still be playable on browser?
sorry for the bother, but i'm not keen in this kind of tecnical matter.
I uploaded a bad file for a few minutes. It might be that you downloaded it in those. Simply delete the bad file and redownload the most recent one.
thank you so much!
Dear, author. Could you kindly give us a fleshed out guide/map so we can properly follow certain routes so we don't get lost or miss the intended route? I have no clue in finding this Deacon route.
I don't plan on doing so.
Aww man I got blueballed for reading the updated wolf daddy route
Oh yeah just lil bit of recommendation but I hope you would focus on completing some routes before adding new routes considering it'll be painful to update several routes and keep adding new one.
I understand, but I write this as a fun project for myself, so I don't have a schedule or anything and rather jump around, continuing where I enjoy it the most.
What words did you use to make Shawn?
What choices do i need to pick in order to meet Deacon?
You must have met Luke and decided to go to the gym with Alec instead of studying.
Im dumb i cant find him
Well, I don't know if a "Deacon" is really in-game, but when checking the 1.5 guide, I see that there's a Deacon, but not a Jason, a guy that you can meet when preferring to go get something to eat rather than doing something else, I don't remember what. So, I don't know if Deacon = Jason, and it's a typo, or there's really a Deacon, and Jason will not have a route and was here just for fun
Deacon and Jason are two different characters. Jason is planned to be a side character only, with some fun scenes along the side. Deacon has his own route. I will make the requirements easier to find Deacon; you can look them up in 1.7 when the update is out.
More Alec plz : D
I really liked this vn, I'm looking forward to continuing the story with the panther.
If you're going to develop the story and add new characters, what about an aggressively dominant lion?)
Well, it would also be nice to add some kind of crocodile.)
Pls new update, also could you add gallery for images?
It would be useful if people wanted to look at images again, and maybe it could have a link to the passage, if someone wanted to skip straight to the 'good' part!
Do you take new character ideas?
Sure, ideas and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
I'd like to suggest a character then. How about an elephant?
He could choke you with his trunk and/or his junk :)
Maybe he's the gardener of the campus and you encounter him whilst hurrying between classes or something like that.
I also would love to see a character with a dad-bod...
Anyway I enjoy your game very much and can't wait for more content. Furthermore, I think it's commendable that you engage with the comments so regularly :3
I was thinking of a buff German Shepherd, who is a doctor on campus, a Doberman that is the coach and a raccoon that is a mechanic? Need more details?
what about a himbo hym bro golden retriever but in bed he is a pleasure dom???
YESSS NEW UPDATE AND DA TIGER WOOO
Loved it and can't wait for future updates, especially with Luke and Jack!
Also, when you go and see jack after the game you repeated the same sentence back-to-back. other than that, i really can't wait to see where this goes especially now that i see you can possibly get with the professor.
Nice to hear that you enjoy my work, and thanks for pointing the duplication out. I haven't noticed it. Should be fixed now :)
Any good route with big cat? not sure if I skipped something but all routes goes to kangaroo.
other than this question, keep going man, love da story :3
Currently, there is no route with the panther (if you mean him). He was only a side character to this point, but he might come back later in the story. If you mean the Tiger, he is about to get his own route.
Who did the art for your project?
Its AI generated
Which app did you use?
Perchance AI
Two more things:
1. Which setting do you use for the art?
2. Would it be alright, if you can hear me out for a new character idea for your project?
mmm... yes panther
Hello, Sandro. I read your work and I have enjoyed it so far. You have talent in writing and it's fairly well-written, but I have some nitpicks to point out and give you some suggestions to improve your writing.
First, it's the dialogue. You cannot write and merge the conversation between characters into a single paragraph. You're mixing and potentially confusing the readers in who-is-who is talking. You have to separate them individually. Like this:
"Hey, dude, you must be my new roommate!" he said with a warm voice. "I'm Jack, by the way." He held out his for me to shake.
I smiled and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Jack. I'm Sandro," I said, trying not to look too nervous.
Second, you are overusing the "I couldn't help but" a lot. In my opinion, it's getting pretty annoying.
Instead of: "It was a backhanded compliment, I knew, but I couldn't help but smile anyway."
Write this: "It was a backhanded compliment, I knew, but I smiled anyway."
Please, use less the "I couldn't help but" or drop it all together. I hope you will do better in the future.
Hey. I'm aware of those repetitions, and if I ever feel like correcting them, I will do so, but proofreading isn't my favorite task to do, so it really depends on me thinking about it while writing. Don't worry further, I'm already working on that one. :)
This is a well-written visual novel. It's is very light, casual and without many worries. It's the kind of utopian fantasy that's good to come into contact with every now and then.
VERY GOOD! I really like it so far
oh its pretty good, and im lookin forward to future updates. side note, you might want to add a description to your game so people will be more interested.
