I'm going to try this when I have the time, thank you for the rec! 

Was looking through my feed notifications and Scout popped up. I thought it was an update, but it was just a review from someone I followed. I got so sad again, but I'm also so happy that people are still showing love for this WIP.  I've commented this before, but this is the IF that got me into reading IFs... It's bittersweet to come back every few months to check. I'm sad that we may never see anymore updates, but I am filled with joy by this community. I love all of my fellow Scouts! ❤️ 

Update: No new posts since June 6th 2023 😔

Just updating here that the last update to their Kickstarter was on June 6th 2023. 

I follow her on Tumblr and as of April of this year she was still working on it, but it will be a slow process. Here is what she replied to an ask:

"Hi, I am not well. My laptop broke so I have lost everything on it, including my 5-years-long word document about OLYMPUS and all my other wips. I have worked on my iPad on days I have energy. But these days are rare and it is hard to come back to Tumblr and see a remainder of my failings and the 850 people waiting on me.

Sorry to disappoint. I wish things were different.

I will continue working on Olympus. I will finish this story, i love it too much let it die. I just hope you’ll still be here then.

Love, Elena"

It's good that you're finally getting some rest! You deserve it! 😊❤

Just coming back again because I still check in every few months. I check in even though I have notifications of Tumblr turned on JUST IN CASE lol... 

It's coming up on 2 years and I still remember the first time I read time I read Scout. This IF is what got me in to reading IFs. I was a visual novel girl before and now I have read over 100 IFs. This is where it started. It's important to me. I hope that Anya is doing okay, even if she never returns. It fills my heart with joy to see everyone else that has been impacted by this story. I see so much love for this author and her story.  Even if she never returns we all have a piece of this story in our hearts ❤

I went to their Kickstarter and was able to read the most recent update on there. Unfortunately. as of January 2023, the development of this project has officially ended. I linked the post below for any that would like to read it.

I just played the demo! It's been in my, "Demos to try," collection for months. I really love regency era romance games and I enjoyed the demo very much! I cannot wait to play more ❤

I'm the same! Happy endings are the best! I'll definitely be replaying all of the romance routes. I usually don't play normal or friendship routes because I'm a sucker for romance. I love, love ❤  I am curious about Eric's route as well , but I agree with your sentiment. I would rather replay the romance routes again 😅 

I also like age gaps so Ray and Lawrence are my top routes. It's funny because my husband is only 2 years younger than me(I said almost 30 because I'm about to turn 28 lol). I thought for sure that I would be with an older man when I was younger. It's funny how things work out 😂

I really loved this VN! I just finished doing all of the romantic endings and enjoyed every single one of them. I won't be able to play Eric's route though since I dislike bad endings and won't play them, but that's fine lol just my preferences 😅

The romantic endings were enough to satiate me. I'm looking forward to playing your other games! ❤

Edit: I ALSO wanted to add that it's refreshing to see a game with older love interests. I'm almost 30, so it's nice being able to relate better to the characters. I have a thing for grumpy characters so Lawrence is my favorite 😍 

To anyone that was wondering ….

According to their Kickstarter, they are still working on the game. It looks like they update every month. I can't see the actual posts since I'm not a backer, but they just gave a progress update on January 5th. 

I am pretty sure it is still being worked on. I found their Kickstarter and, although I can't see the posts since I wasn't a backer, it looks like they're updating the progress monthly.

I haven't seen any other way to contact y'all, but I wanted to let you know that your game has been published up to v0.80 on some s*x game websites for free. I got to looking because some of the WIPs I follow are having problems with people pirating their games. I don't know if this is the case with you guys, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. 

It worked! 😊

Okay so it's still doing it, BUT I figured out how to sleep. The game doesn't completely fit in the gaming window it looks like? I think there are words at the top and bottom that are cut off? I noticed it when I was wiggling my mouse around and they lit up lol. You can kind of see the bottom of the words at the top. So it's not freezing, it just doesn't all fit I guess. I have a video on my computer, but idk how to upload it on here 😂

The music did not stop playing. Sorry, I went to bed after posting and just saw this lol. I saw your update as well and I'm going to try it later! 😊

I've gotten it. The first day going into town works fine because it automatically put you to sleep. However, if I don't explore and I just click on the bed on that first day it says, "Sleep?" and I can't do anything after. Nothing pops up and I can't back out of it. If I do the first day automatically and I get to the second day, its the same thing. If I click on the bed, everything is the same. I've done it a few different ways. I've went in to town again, I've walked to the fishing spot, I've went to the garden, the barn, and I've not slept at all before 8pm. It's just clicking on the bed freezes it or breaks it almost I guess? Thats the best way I can describe it lol 

Just here to add to the well wishes for you, Anya! I hope you are well and okay! Your health and safety are the more important than anything else. 

I remember when I first found Scout and how much it has lived in my mind since. Both your characters and story are beautiful. No matter what happens, I am forever grateful for being able to read this captivating story. ❤

I actually quite enjoyed this game! It wasn't super long and yeah I think some more depth could be added to some things... BUT I absolutely love the characters you created and the premise of the story. Aiden's route was my favorite and I wasn't expecting what happened. Suddenly the rest of the routes and some of the interactions made sense. Overall good job. I look forward to future works 😊

I COMPLETELY understand! I had a baby in October and it feels like I never get anything done anymore lol. Taking care of a little human is hard, plus life on top of that! No reason to apologize 😊  I'm glad you're still planning to work on it and I look forward to it! Take as long as you need and congratulations of the baby ❤

I forgot to reply back that I figured it out, because I'm a donut who forgets everything lol.  I believe the problem is with the itch app since that is where I had it installed when I made the initial comment. I did a complete wipe of the game and reinstalled it on the app and it still did it. Did another wipe and installed it off the website instead, and it works perfectly now 😊

If you go to itch's website instead of the app and you click to download, it should bring you to the download page and you should be able to redeem it there. That's how I got mine, just waiting to redeem it now 😊😊😊 

This makes me extremely sad as I was really attached to the game and it's characters. I was on edge about what was going to happen next with the characters. I do, however understand the need to walk away from situations where you are no longer compatible with people. I hope that someday we will see TND continued but if not, it will always hold a special place in my heart and mind. I hope you are all able to find happiness and good luck in future endeavors. Sending you all so much love from all of your fans ❤❤❤

I have a couple of bugs to report.  When I choose to turn Sigrid down or thank her, I still get a sex scene with her. Also if I load back to an earlier save, I get quests that are for this chapter that shouldn't be there until I finish the previous ones.  Like I was going back to Chapter 4 to make different choices and when I loaded, I got quests for Chapter 6. That's all I've noticed. I really love the game so far and this update! Thank you! 😊❤

AHHHHHHHHHH They all sound so good!!! I'm so excited!!!! <3

I am extremely excited for the Revamp!!! This game has honestly been one of the best $5 I have spent on something. I have replayed it several times since my purchase, and I'm looking forward to going through again when the revamp is release! <3 

This game immediately had my attention with the description and the art style, but it's been sitting in my, "Want to Play," list for awhile. I finally downloaded it, started it up and played through both demos tonight. The beginning demo had me HOOKED. The music along with the environment had me creeped out, but I wanted to know more. By the end of the beginning demo I just yelled, "WHAT?" The middle demo had me asking questions too, and I'm so excited to play through the full release. I can't wait!! I had to go explain all of it to my husband and now we are conspiring and making theories as to what is actually going on. This is going to be amazing and I can't wait to see if any of our theories are right or if we're completely wrong. The writing is well done and I love the characters already, with August being my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to the release!! :)

I was able to get it downloaded and I launched on Windows!! Thank you so much for resolving the issue! It is much appreciated and I'm looking forward to the full game! :)

I'm having the same problem.

I'm so excited for more!!!! I love the art style and the dialogue, it is written very well. Love the characters and omg their blushing faces are SO CUTE. I also love that it'll have an 18+ option. As a 25 year old woman, I sometimes find it hard to find adult otomes. I've found a few good ones and I know just from the demo this is going to be fantastic. I loved the Cowboy Bebop reference at the end of the demo because that was the vibe it gave off before I even downloaded it lol.. Firefly as well. We need more space westerns, they're so good! I'm going to go join your Patreon as well because I adore this already, I'm looking forward to the finished game! <3 

I was also wondering about an update. No rush lol. This game interested me and I hope it's still coming along. :)

AHHHHH I just wanted to tell you I'm so excited to play the full game! I played through Legends of the Winged Ones and LOVED it. Then I saw you had this one as well and played through the Demo. I LOVE is so far. I haven't commented before, but I've been keeping an eye on this project ever since I discovered it. Thank you for the work you have done and continue to do. Thank you for keeping us updated on the progress. Much love <3 ^^
