Dear viewer,

Thank you for giving Bullwhip a spin, and for seeing me here backstage!

What did you think? Do you have feedback for us? Or eww - bug reports? We'll deal with 'em! Oh, but if the game crashed, please help us by copying the error message you received when it did.

Whatever you share with us, please do it in the appropriate category.

Love,

Your friendly Bullwhip commentator

A couple of things:

Firstly, I have encountered an annoying bug: the save menu frequently popped up then I was clicking LMB to progress dialogue. At first, I thought that I was clicking too close to the bottom menu, then that I was accidentally pressing RMB, so I tried using the touchpad on the laptop, but the save menu continued to pop up at random times. I think it's a bug. 

Secondly, there is a small error in the text when Renga tells the story of Bullwhip Wrestling. The part with an error is this: “The cat left. Fergus became president of the federation, but when the dust settled, there wasn't much of it left of it to rule.” There is one extra “of it” at the end.

Hey! Thank you for the feedback!

So, the save screen is set up to appear on a right click. With no great insight into how this appears to you, I am going to assume that somehow, the game thinks that you are right clicking. It does, however, seem like you've tried a couple of different controls, so I'm not sure how well the theory holds up. Is there any way that your computer might somehow register unintended right clicks?

The Renga error: Yes, you're right, thanks for noticing! I've fixed this in my dev version and will roll out a new version once the game has seen a little more play :)

I absolutley love this game as in it´s currrent state! I hope I could date the panther too at some point in the future? It would be hella awesome if I could tag team with him!

It's not impossible that he might make some sort of guest appearance on a tag team, even with the protagonist - I've already planned that kind of thing. For now, the spotlight will in general mostly be on the protagonist and his original husbando candidates, but you never know. If I'm not spent by the time I'm done with the original romance routes, I might add more. I'll leave it to the future me to decide :)

I'm glad you like it, Jespar! Thanks for encouragement and for not losing interest during the years! :D

Hello~ You all did a great job in fleshing out the VN. The user interface is creative and neat. I love that you choose different species than the usual like wolves and felines etc. as husbandos candidates and chose a zebra, a snake, a monkey, and dragon. I like how creative you were in world building of Regent City, the map and the arena map etc. I look forward for the next update in the future! :D

Hey, Islander! Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you like the variation - that was one of the things I wanted too. I wanted diversity in species and to use some that don't appear that often. I guess dragons are common enough, but that one I just could not help me on, I like them so much... I'm also glad that my world building "works" for you. I feel like I've set up things nicely so that the entire city as well as the arena is now ready for use in future chapters :)

So I finished the first build. There weren’t any major errors but I was wondering why there aren’t any Auto saves in the VN.

Ah, you know, at some point during development, I removed it because it was 1) creating lots of saves that risked unintentionally becoming part of my builds, and 2) I didn't see the point of them. I could probably easily switch it back on. Can you tell me what the autosave function means to you? What value does it add, how does it improve playing the game? I just can't remember ever using it myself in any of the VNs I've played, so I figured it couldn't be very important.

AutoSaves is important to me be cause I sometimes forget to save and it makes saves everyone hundred or so lines. Also for some reason in Ren’Py, AutoSaves have a much lower chance of being corrupted when updating a VN.

No, really? I see! Well, then I will look at reactivating it, thank you for telling me! :)

I'm not sure if it's meant to occur, but the VN for me in the most recent version starts at the vending machine and meeting Bale and Felix, but I think skipping over meeting the zebra and the dragon. Will say the short bit I got to see was great though!

Holy Moly, dear gods, no, that is not supposed to occur! Thank you, good Sir, for letting me know. I have rolled out a quick fix so that people who download it for the first time get the entire chapter 1, not just half of it. I'll write a devlog this week for those that this error might have confounded. Many thanks, gapbadge! :)

same thing happened to me I was so confused lol

With good reason, that was a big developer mistake... I'm embarrassed! *sheepish grin*

more an observation than feedback but kai is clearly verry passionate about people being able to find where they need to go.  i could accept his intro talking about all the various parts of town and the things there but i draw the line for normal behavior at making a whole ass detailed map app.  needless to say i do hope he is involved in all map related activities from here on out as hes clearly quite passionate about them.

Well, Kai made the building blueprint, and that one is full of his usual life tired banter in all the info descriptions. He's passionate about his profession, software, but his workplace makes it very hard to produce things . He's treated mostly as a computer literate secretary by his extremely computer illiterate boss, and he's constantly ordered to spend his time doing things that are not really his job (hence the lack of enthusiasm). He didn't make the town map, though - maybe that didn't come across very clearly. It's a regular tourist fold-out town map that he grabbed somewhere in case the protagonist would want it. And if the protagonist expresses gratitude (if he's enthusiastic about his arrival), Kai will downplay that he made a kind gesture because it's just become second nature to him to be irritable and sassy. It's how he's coped with his miserable work life. All this should come across more clearly as the story unfolds :)

hey man , love the game really into it already but I have a view problems when I try to play the game idk if it's only for the android version but when I try to play it it tends to crash after 2minutes and It won't activate my keyboard from my phone. 😅

Hey, mister! Thank you for letting me know! I'm not sure what would cause this - I will test it on a device of mine and see if that one too has trouble with it.

Hey again, bud! I've tested the build on my own Android device. The game seems to run okay on it - I got through the whole story without it crashing, and I also got up the keyboard when prompted to type in answers. My device is a somewhat aging Samsung S8. I'm going to guess that your device has software that runs the game differently someehow. I'm sorry to say that there's not that much I can do to correct this. I'm hoping that a solution might present itself as Ren'Py, the engine the game is built in, gets new updates. Sorry, bud! :/

is the full game out yet?! It's awesome!

Hey, friend! I'm very glad you like it so far, thank you for saying so! :) I'm sadly a very slow developer, so it's not finished at all. I hope you have a few other projects you follow too so that you get your regular VN fill, and then I will drop updates when nobody expects it to add to that feed once in a while :)

Hi there, these days on my (Little) free time i've been enjoying this game a lot. Rn i've just finished it and i gotta say that i love everything: Character desings, music, history, etc and i can't wait for more content to be released.

Every character is unique and makes me wanna be with them for different reasons, if i had to choose a path i would probably save and play any possible path since i can't fully decide. And i kinda feel that maybe there can be more romantic paths in the future, for me that would be awesome to get to know more characters.

With that being said i do have some little questions, tho idk if i should ask them through here since i don't wanna spoil anyting to anyone reading this.

Sorry if i did any spelling mistake, i'm from Spain and my English is not perfect. Anyways i'm going to sleep it's 1 AM here .-.

Hey, friend! I made a little subcategory for questions and marked it with a spoiler warning. How about putting your questions there? :)
