hi there, i just wanted to leave a comment just to say that i've loved and appreciated this VN; i stumbled across it last year, and fell in love quickly. i personally connected a lot with sal! the visual style and the writing have so much depth and charm. from a player standpoint, i think that this game is a real gift and i am looking forward to seeing what might come out of it as time and resources allow. thank you for making this!
There is a bill in congress right now that would make it illegal for any financial service provider to directly or indirectly prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction. It's called the Fair Access to Banking Act. H.R.987 in the House, S.401 in the Senate. Call your Representatives. Get it passed.
Signed, but can't do any US-based representative calling, as I'm in the UK. Similar policies are being pushed through here and I'm doing what I can to oppose those.
That was an amazing way to end off with Griff route. I can't wait for future updates. Also wanted to give a little grammar help with commas. You often are using commas incorrectly. yes, that's a thing apparently lol. so basically, when you form a structure of sentence. you have Subject, verb and complete thought. That's also know as independent clause. so basically, when you add another Subject, verb and complete thought on other side of it it's called a comma splice. And sentence is incorrect. But the fix to it is adding an ";" or an "." Or you can add an coordination conjunction. also second image I can't read words beacuse the buttons are in the way. Anywho great novel i love it so much can't wait for more updates.
I'd like to put one together when I have more time. All of the tracks currently exist as-they-are in the game and I'd like to give them proper starts and ends.
I'd really love hear the main menu music as a standalone song! It's a little weird to hear the music cut as the loop ends in the menu every time. I am absolutely obsessed with the music and can't want for more.
I'd like to re-record the main theme and extend it somewhat. As I remember, I recorded it in a bit of a weird key as the instrument I started with was out of tune and the process was somewhat rushed. So yes, there'll be a fuller version of it eventually
Just out of blatant curiosity but, what country does this game take place in? I've been debating U.K, Scotland or Ireland but after playing Billy's route I'm leaning heavily towards Ireland.
It's set an alternate-universe version of Cornwall called Kerneyth (similar to the name for the original nation: Kernow). Like Ireland, Wales and Scotland, it has a firmly established Celtic history, but unlike those places, It hasn't been its own nation since the 9th century and is technically part of England.
This is probably why the vibe feels hard to place! I've also been dropping in hints that Billy is part Milmaighan (Irish), so this is probably why his route gave off more of that kind of feeling. When I return to the project I'm considering doing away with the "alternative placenames" so that these details can be more directly referenced.
Oh dang, wasn't expecting the actual creator to respond about it, but I'm not complaining! That's so cool though, thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment!! ^^
had to come back and leave another comment, im so in love with this game- I'm being so genuine, it's become something of a comfort to me. Had a hard day? Back to play Ranzo's route again. Stressed over finals? Well griff is right there. Etc Etc, it's such a beautiful game and I have not, and likely will never find a game as nostalgic and comforting as this one, I can literally draw back each character to someone I've met, every place I can roughly find somewhere similar in my home town. AND on a silly goofy dark note- i am so scared with what's being implied is happening with Arthur and Riley in Griff's route at Sal's place omfg- I'm equally terrified with what potentially happened at Kele's.../pos anywhom I will definitely be checking your pages bi-monthly should there be an update lol- Love your work!! (Edit: meditating to the soundtrack is a GAME CHANGER)
Hi there, I'm just wondering how you got such traction with this visual novel project! I'm having trouble advertising my visual novel and was wondering if you had any tips. I love ur work btw!
When people talk tell me how they found the project, they often cite the visual identity as something that makes it stand out. I have the benefit of coming from a graphic design background, so I put a lot of stock into things like the imagery used for announcement posts, as well as making UI elements feel distinct from what RenPy gives you by default.
I can't say I've gone in with much of a publicity plan (I've been happy to have this be something that people find through word of mouth), but I do think that developing a signature visual style has definitely helped to give the project more intrigue.
I think I need help. I've already dowoaded 1.14 but it still says Joe's route is still incomplete and so is Griff's chapter 2. Or maybe i'm just stupid and those aren't in this version yet?
Important to note that I have had this game before so maybe that's why it isnt working?
Nvm, I figured it out. I somehow didn't realize that the Second Day was the Second Chapter, I just kept skipping that transition cause i thought the first day the prologue.
Billy. Billy. Oh Billy. I thought this would be a fine route but it was most definitely not! Juicy lore, love that part, but man is it hard to watch (read).
I shoulda just stayed with Griff.
Edit: I know none of the characters are without issue, it's just up to Choob as to how that gets expanded on
I just wanted to leave a message to say how much I love this VN. The artwork, music, writing and characters are all on point.
I grew up in a small cornish seaside town and to find a story in that setting really makes it hit very close to home sometimes in uncomfortable ways. The feeling of being stuck, of everything closing and going away (both places and people) and of Ryes anxiety. I just wanted to say you really made something special.
Also I've never seen emmet used in a VN before so that was fun :)
Meant to reply to this a while back, but it means a lot to me whenever someone from the area feels a connection to the story.
I went back home recently and though my hometown continues to grow quieter and quieter, other pockets around the county seem to be turning the trend around — often with a more visibly emerging queer community.
I genuinely think that decades conservative thinking is what has driven such a beautiful part of the world into it's diminished state. I hope that Cornwall can feel more welcoming to marginalised people as time goes on, and what I've seen recently gives me hope.
There are definitely some areas that are turning around but I still live in an area with very conservative values. Cornwall is a beautiful place and I hope that it can grow to its full potential for everyone here.
Either way I thank you again for bringing this beautiful story to the world.
I'm maybe 20-25 minutes into reading this, and I already have to absolutely commend the stylization of this novel! The music, the sprites, the character icons, the backgrounds, everything is absolutely stellar!
I can't wait to continue reading this tomorrow, keep up the good work!
First of all, I'm not a spam mailing list or anything like that😐 ahem...
We are a team of ExGames translators. We would like to ask permission to translate your vn's from the original language into russian. A lot of people liked your novel, but due to the language barrier they cannot read it in the original. Our team is translating various furry novels into Russian, and in order for people to be able to touch your work, we are asking for your permission to translate. There are a large number of short stories in the list of translations we have, and we would like your short story to join it.
Our translators receive a nominal payment for translation, since the project is supported by donations from Russian-speaking readers. For translation, we use only publicly available versions of novels and, after translation is completed, we post them on a platform similar to Patreon for a period of 1-2 weeks for those who want to get earlier access to the translation. Subsequently, the translation becomes publicly available and any user can download it for free.
For each publication, we always add a link to the page with the novel, and if necessary, we can insert links to your social networks.
We are also ready to provide all the necessary translation files for their implementation in the official assembly, if you are interested in expanding the number of available languages for reading.
We really hope for a positive decision, as we want to further develop the Russian-speaking furry community.
Thanks for your time! Best regards, ExGames Translation Team❤️❤️
Which release version are you playing? I've gone back through the files that were updated in v 1.13 and I'm not seeing any remaining isntances of 'scorn' being used.

So I have read that sex is one of the topics. Does that include NSFW visuals or would I be safe to stream it on Twitch?
There's no explicit imagery so you should be all good!

The Horizon song is sooooo good, dev, please, give us the inspirations! Or barring that, recommendations?
Is there an OST? I love the music :)
I'd like to put one together when I have more time. All of the tracks currently exist as-they-are in the game and I'd like to give them proper starts and ends.

That is very cool and enlightening. Makes much more sense in my head

The visual art style and unique UI along with the music are what drew me into this VN, so can confirm!
I think I need help. I've already dowoaded 1.14 but it still says Joe's route is still incomplete and so is Griff's chapter 2. Or maybe i'm just stupid and those aren't in this version yet?
Important to note that I have had this game before so maybe that's why it isnt working?
Beautiful game, btw.
The Joe one isn't complete, but the Griff loopback shouldn't still be showing. Where does the Griff message appear?
Nvm, I figured it out. I somehow didn't realize that the Second Day was the Second Chapter, I just kept skipping that transition cause i thought the first day the prologue.
Billy. Billy. Oh Billy. I thought this would be a fine route but it was most definitely not! Juicy lore, love that part, but man is it hard to watch (read).

Got this error on Ranzos day 2
Which release version are you playing? I've gone back through the files that were updated in v 1.13 and I'm not seeing any remaining isntances of 'scorn' being used.

Just reporting that I also got the error that the previous commenter experienced after Graham's introduction, the one with "wednesday_joe_morning".
I've really enjoyed what I have seen so far, love the art style.
