HI, thank you for your interest! You can play this VN either straight or gay, it's up to you. There are both male and female romance interests available. However romance isn't the main theme of this VN and you might not get the similar experience as other dating simulators. This VN focuses more on the aftermath of a war and how it's like to live in a post-war era. Thank you again!
Hi, thanks for your continued interest on the project! As I said on one of the devlog earlier, I plan to release next update during May. I'll try my best to not delay it any further because I'll be probably joining the navy on June. I know it's literally the worst timing but the man gotta serve his duty ya know😭🤮
You can catch up on the dev process on my twitter or instagram. I already gave some sneak peaks of the newly introduced character desings.
And if you're interested in test-playing before the official release, please let me know! I always appreciate feedbacks🥰
Please don't spread fake news😅 Nobody stole nothing. As I already mentioned on one of the comments down below, Adobe Firefly is different from other AIs.
It actually pays for the content used for its training. Adobe says they : created a Firefly bonus compensation plan for all eligible Adobe Stock contributors whose content was used in the dataset training of the first commercially released Firefly model.
Plus, they just don't snatch resources from random places on the internet, they use adobe stock images, which as they said, they compensate the contributors, or they just use public domain images which are copyright free.
Thanks for the kind words <3 My whole project, including this game and art shows, is my lifelong dream slowly coming true, and it's so thankful and exciting that I'm getting such support! My final goal is to make fortune big enough and turn this into an animated film.
I'm really grateful for your patience. Things might be slow, but I'll work my way till my vision comes true. Please stay tuned!
And I'll make sure I don't get myself killed on the frontier haha.
Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I wanted to say something about this topic.
So, the AI I'm using is Adobe Firefly. It's different from other AIs because it actually pays for the content used for its training. Adobe says they : created a Firefly bonus compensation plan for all eligible Adobe Stock contributors whose content was used in the dataset training of the first commercially released Firefly model.
Also, Adobe Firefly uses public domain images and Adobe Stock images for the AI training. They don't scrap images from random, possibly illegal sources. It makes a tiny reference pool compared to other AIs such as Midjourney, which results in less polished images, but what's important is that it's less problematic. Adobe says : Trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content, and public domain content, Firefly is designed to be safe for commercial use.
I want to add, as someone from fine art industry, AI generated images are quite an issue everywhere. Photographers worry about it the most. What people always say is, that AI will eventually reach a level where its work would be indistinguishable from humans' work.
The question fine art people ask is, what should we do to compete with the AI, as human artists? To that I say we don't, and we learn to use AI for our own good. To me, boycotting AI seems pointless, because corporates will proceed to develop AI anyway. Refusing to admit such fact isn't a smart move. Fighting against AI seems to be nothing but a loosing game to me.
What we can do instead is, to use AI that actually pays the contributors so that artists get their share(Adobe Firefly for example), and learn to take advantage of AI art by using it. By using AI we can better understand its strengths and weaknesses, and maybe find what we, the human artists, can do to survive this AI era.
If I failed to convince you, you don't have to support me. It's fine.
Yeah this VN is part of my project called 'Himalayan Birkin'. The project includes VN, art exhibition and animation for now. And maybe more mediums in the future??
Sorry the demo was short, it was kinda rushed. I was too busy with other elements for the exhibition and couldn't pay much attention to the VN as much as I did with other things😵 There are also some errors, including translation errors that I missed, because I couldn't get any test-plays for the English version(my friends only speak Korean...)
Am happy it gives off mature vibe! That's the tone and manner I was going for.
Lastly, there's going to be another video of my exhibition(title of the show : For Himalayan Birkin) soon! The show is ongoing, and will go on until 2024.1.30. Currently busy with that, but once it's all wrapped up I'll work on the video. And I'll post it here on itch.io. So please stay tuned😆
Thank you for playing! Looking through the comments I definitely felt the need to improve my story. I'll try to make things better and more organized on the upcoming updates. And yeah furry art exhibition is kinda my career😆 There's more coming and I'll share it here too when I finish editing a video on that!
Thanks for your opinion! Actually, that's what I intended. Callum is supposed to be an irrational, chaotic and compulsive character. I figured this VN wouldn't be entertaining to everyone for that reason. Maybe it's just not your cup of tea🥲
And I do think cultural differences play a big part in you struggling to follow the story. In this VN there's some things South Koreans can understand without any explanation but other people have hard time understanding, because they don't understand South Korean culture. I'm considering adding footnote system or something like that in the future updates.
Really appreciate your feedback tho! In future updates I'll try to get things a little less messy and more organized.
Sorry for the inconvenience😭 I don't own any MAC devices so I can't test it out myself. If it's not a bother can you tell me about the trouble you're going through? When I searched online, people say if you have Ren'Py installed, you'll be able to open the extracted file(which I uploaded)
Wow appreciate you for watching my video🥰 Yeah I'll try adding the video later today! I'm planning to better show such cultural stuff throughout the game too!
Thank you for the opinion! That's maybe because there's not much information revealed? In the coming updates the characters should be explained better!
