I liked the beast route the best and the human route the least. The whole thing with Sheena just annoyed me and didn't make much sense to me. I'm trying to avoid spoilers here but if I had a choice, there would be no human route. And that ending for this part of the human route, all I can say is WTF?! To me it seemed like it made a huge portion of the human route pointless. Well that's just my take on it. At any rate I'm hoping for more of the beast route in the next release.

Well some people(which are unfortunately more vocal about what they want) just want to rush into the H scenes and don't want story. You need to take things like that into account. Maybe saying in the description that your game is story focused will help keep people like that from playing your game in the first place and then you can get more relevant reviews from those your style appeals to. I personally like games with a good story where I feel I get to know the characters so your story telling style is enjoyable for me. Just keep doing what your doing. It works in my opinion.

I've played till the end of Chapter 2 and I like the game so far. Story is good as is character development. You also seem to have a good sense for pacing in your story so far.

Most of the characters are likeable (I'm actually a huge fan of Jade. I can't wait to learn more of her story.) and some well I didn't get enough interaction with them to decide if I like them or not.

Over all I have enjoyed the game and am looking forward to what comes next. Keep up the good work!

This game has hand-holding?! There are no limits to this devs depravity! :D

Seriously; This game looks interesting. I'm going to give it a try.

I think the shaders look good. There is a little odd lighting in the 1st & 4th picture under the left side of the jaw and under the hands in the first and that glare on the lower side of the face in the 3rd. Think that may be a contrast issue? Or maybe a highlighting? I'm not sure what settings you have since I've never used the program. Other than those anomalies they look great.

If you want to do something like that in the future go for it. I have no problem with derivative works or works based on my idea. Of course giving me credit for my part is also appreciated. Like I said I just have no motivation at the moment. If that changes I will see where that inspiration takes me so feel free to run with the idea if you want.

First I want to say I'm glad you liked the idea. Your one of the few.

The reason their opinion mattered was because they were the ones I was making it for. I just wanted something different. When I started this project almost everything seemed harem click and fap. Totally uninspired garbage, or so I thought. It turned out that that "uninspire garbage" was what the majority of people wanted. I was in the minority. So when people shit on my game I realized I was wasting my time. You are right about HS2 but at the time I didn't have it so I worked with what I had. Glad you liked it but I forgot what I was going to do with it. I mean it has been over 2 years since I worked on it and I was never in it for the money. I may try something again in the future but right now I just don't have the motivation to do it.

I've played Maou-Sama and Deadlocked in time and enjoyed them both. I am inclined to play this game but based on the description I am a bit confused. Are there multiple MC the male MC and his wife or a single male MC? I've personally not been a fan of multiple MC games. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I can imagine how much work went into the redesigns of the characters but to be honest I think they looked better before. Elaria  didn't change much from what I can tell but I liked her old glasses better.Valery looked professional before. More suiting her personality imo but the new look she looks like some trashy secretary that's trying to hard. Beatrice looked like idk I guess a mom but the new look makes her seem like some middle aged gold digging office worker. I mean it's your project and it's up to you to do what you want with it, but if your planning on redesigning more characters I may have to stop playing the game. I really am not a fan of the new looks and I'm afraid of how bad some of them are going to look by the time your done.

Either way I have enjoyed the game till this point and wish you nothing but the best of luck with your game.

TBH I'm a little upset.  With that cliffhanger you decide hey I'm going to take a few months for QoL crap and not give any content. So now we have to wait, what , another 4 months or so for a release?  I have to wait 6 months to find out if that actually happened  It's not that I have anything against QoL updates is just pick a better time to do it. If I wait 6 months for a game over screen I am going to be one angry dude. Just sayin...

Edit: 

Removed spoilers.

About that 2GB limit there may be a work around. I found This Reddit Post while trying to find out why there is a limit for apk files.

I play on PC so I haven't had to test it myself. I hope this helps.

I agree with you 100%. I think this is a fantastic idea and can't wait to see it implemented.

I like the story and the characters, but I'm getting tired of having to search for new content. I mean based one the story these events are supposed to be happening within a few weeks or maybe even months of each other. I'm beyond day 700 so your timeline references make absolutely no sense at this point. Not knowing where to be on what day an at what time to be there to trigger an even is just a massive pain in the @$$.  

As of this update I have now gone through 30 in game days and still did not trigger any of the new events or found any of the new images. I still have previous events from earlier releases I haven't found for multiple characters. I would like to have events set to a day or time of day. Setting it for a certain day at a certain time just makes everything seem so random and tedious when trying to find what's new. Just something I would like you to consider since I'm losing interest because I'm having to waste so much time searching for the new content.

It's great your making a game but I have no idea what it's about unless I play it. I would suggest some kind of a synopsis or some type of description of what your game is about. As it is now we have nothing to draw our interest to your game. 

I'm glad you mentioned your first release is short and your proposed development schedule. At least now I know what to expect going in.

I will give your game a try and amend this comment or maybe make another depending on what I think is best.

Just wondering if this will ever go free. $20 is a fair price, but I am on a fixed budget and can't do that. I wish I could as all your hard work definitely deserves it. I, unfortunately, am just unable to buy it.

I get your doing the price drop thing, but $50 is just too much for this kind of game. Regardless of how good the Visual Novel is I would never pay more than $30. That may just be my feelings on the matter but I can get much better games than any VN for $50. 

That said you do have a really good game and I have enjoyed it thus far.

I took your suggestion and tried win-rar but it still didn't work.

Not really sure what to make of it. I have the latest versions of 7-Zip and WinRAR and neither seems to be able to extract that Ren'Py Archive. I also have the latest version of Python so it's not an issue there either. Just to check I also made sure to have the latest version of Ren'Py as well so I'm pretty sure it's not an error reading the file. If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate it and will give them a try.

Edit:

Just for the heck of it I tried using the itch app and it worked with no problems. I'm even more confused now but at least it's working so I'm going to try your game now.

I noticed you mentioned the volume of the initial music for your game. Here is a little piece of code you can use to set the starting volume for your game. 

0 is no sound and 1 is max volume so if you copy and past this into your game it will set the default volume for music and sound effects in your game at 50%. At least this way people wont go deaf when they launch your game the first time.

init 990 python:

    config.default_music_volume = 0.5

    config.default_sfx_volume = 0.5

I thought your game looked interesting so I downloaded it. When I went to extract it this happened.

I use 7-zip for all other renpy games so I'm not sure what went wrong here. I tried extracting it a couple times just in case it was a one-off error, but I can't extract it.

This is great news! I have enjoyed the game so far and have been eagerly waiting for the next update. Glad is it finally here

Glad to hear it. I have been waiting for this.

if you read https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/android.html it tells you how to make your own android ports for your game. Hope this helps.

I got up today and started my computer and tried the game again and it worked the first time. I'm thinking it was a one-off or some kind of hang up of a variable on my end. And shutting down and restarting my computer seems to have "unstuck" that variable. At any rate, thanks for the quick reply. I am really enjoying the game so far.

I have a quest to summon Cali to find out about grips. I go out in the morning every day but I never get the option to ring the bell. I have 9 lavender so I don't know what is going on.

Well done. I am really enjoying your game. That little racoon girl is my favorite. Such a little trouble maker, but cute. Keep up the good work. I will eagerly await the next update.

I usually manually install my games. I decided to try the app to simplify things. After installing and changing the install directory to point to where my games are installed I scanned the folder so it could find my games. The itch app said the folder was empty. I have 50+ games in that folder so I have no idea why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I was wondering if there was any way to put my feed from itch.io into my discord as kind of a news bot?

First:

About the Season 1 H-Scenes being a big download, I think making that and optional separate download would be a better idea. Any more compression may horribly distort the images.

Second:

I like that the writing style is going to stay the same. I like the way this has been mostly story driven up till this point. My only concern is if I'm on a specific girls route, I don't want to be "trapped" in it. I would say that maybe break it down into day-long events so at the end of the "day" if we want to go another path for a while we can.

Third:

Hell yes to revealing Lirums' face. Good call there.

Fourth:

Cerros looks kind of bitchy. Maybe take some of the anger out of her eyes and add a little mischief. A smart ass goblin girl could be fun.  Other than that keep the short stacks coming.

Extra:

As a personal request/suggestion, could we maybe get one goblin girl with really large ears? I don't want Dumbo sized ears but maybe double normal size? Just thought it would be a way to add a shy goblin in the mix. Could be fun convincing her that hear ears are adorable and not weird or cursed.

Keep up the good work. I am impatiently awaiting the next release.

Well if you want to keep updating just fix one core issue per update/release. That way you don't lose a lot of time trying to fix everything at once.

As far as it taking a long time between updates it really depends on what you were doing in that time. A lot of the background(what we don't actually see) work takes the longest time. If you want to do monthly updates that's fine with me. Better than say trying for 2 weeks and working so hard you burn out. Just don't become like Runey with a bunch of sudo-updates for patrons. That guy takes 3-5 months to put out the same content he used to do in a month. So yeah as long as you don't do that, take all the time you need. If you need a week off just say so. I'm really enjoying your game. Just keep doing what your doing.

Sorry for the rant :D

AVG Flagged your 16.1pc release with a Trojan. I had no problems with earlier releases and I am enjoying your game. Can you please check your files and re-upload.

I'm terrible at remembering names so if you used this than you can disregard it. My suggestion is Marsha.

Awesome!! I have been eagerly waiting for this.

Nice. The only thing I would suggest is making her eyes slightly larger. maybe a 5%-10% increase in size.  Other than that very nice work. I am looking forward to a playable release.

Thanks for pointing that out. I somehow had forgotten that. Makes a lot more sense now. 

That raises a question: Does that mean the Princess is "stuck" in there now? Or can she only return to her own world from the pocket demense?

There was one thing story-wise that bothered me. With Nook still missing, shouldn't we have gone to see the princess and make sure she is doing okay? I mean its been what 3-4 days since Nook disappeared and we haven't gone to see the princess once. Just seems odd to me.

I'm thinking Alorth forgot about this game. I see his name on a lot of stuff, not just his own projects, so I'm thinking this may have fallen by the wayside for now. Maybe he will remember it sometime later. I mean it always takes him a long time to update anything but a year is twice as long as anything else I can think of. I just check back on his stuff randomly now. I no longer expect any updates on anything and consider it lucky if it happens.

I personally wish he would spend less time helping others with their projects and spend more time on his own.
