Like the light heartedness of the story, and the characters are all cute. Though, I was surprised when Kegar was named a lion... He looks like a semi-bald monkey or ape. I think the issue is he doesn't look like he's covered in fur, but skin instead. This is really obvious when he's shirtless. I think maybe changing his colour pallet up so it looks less brown and skin colour? And maybe making him hairier; adding chest and pit hair in a way that "blends" into his "skin" will make it more obvious it's actually fur.
Man, i love the story, and the characters have so much personality, cant wait for rowley to fuc- i mean cuddle and hang out more
Liking the game so far but I'm gonna be honest, Kegar's character design is weird. I thought he was a monkey when I first saw him.
Used to donate on Patreon but took a break. When I came back, the page was gone! Do you have a discord or some other platform people who enjoy your game can contact you through?
Hey Nikola.
I don't have Discord server, so feel free to share your thoughts here, or catch me on Bsky/X formerly Twitter :)
As for Patreon, unfortunatelly, the page will stay unavailable for some more time - I will adress this matter in near future.
At first I was hesitant because of the art style but because I could run it on browser it didn't feel like I had to commit to anything and if i didn't like it i could just back out.
I was pleasantly surprised and ended up playing through all of Angus' route because the writing was nice and it helped that hes just cute lol
Ah! This update was nice~ I'm enjoying seeing how Rowley and Welkin get along. Thank you for all your hard work!
Glad to see another update - hope the issues with Patreon get resolved soon.
After Years is back!!!!!!!!!
Better not to Abandoned this game please I want to know the next chapter, it's so freaking good I swear and Rowley is so fucking hot
Tyrving I hope you finish the game I want to know the ending I love it so much
Ya`ll better calm down with Angus-sy and Kegar-kun routes, let Senpai Rowley routes first to finish.
When is Angus getting an update?
At the moment I'm fully focused on Rowley's route, as I want to finish it first. My work schedule is a mess nowadays, so, it's difficult to tell for sure when I'll be back to write anything for Kegar or Angus.
Looking forward for Angus someday. I love him
man I can't wait, haven't played this game in a couple of years since no updates for Angus, and thanks for the reply. And didn't you already do stuff for kegar? I haven't seen anything for Angus in ever, and good luck with work:3
also wtf its been 2 years since the last angus route upd ?? omg time flew by whattttt
manifesting angus route into the new year.
On mobile it's not letting me save or load or delete a save file
Best game ever, totally worth every cent I put in it , and definitely recommend it ,
Yeay. So excited 😆
It's been 2 years since angus got updated 😅
Oh wow, the VN runs soooo much more smoothly now! 😯 I only play every few updates, so this is a real nice surprise! Thank xou for going through the effort to get it running so beautifully~ 😁 looking forward to spending time with my handsome muscled meow without any lagging~ 😋
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm still working on the game, but nowadays I barely have time to do any serious progress. I'm currently finishing the upcoming Patreon build. After that I'm gonna tinker a bit more with one of the previous updates (as there's something I really want to alter there) and all the missing content will be released as one big update for public.
So glad about the news. Finally after a while we didn't hear anything from you.
But to be honest, for me personally, I'm a bit concerned about your own health. Can't imagine how you keep doing everything IRL, but still progressing this VN itself. I feel myself drained just to thinking about it.
I hope you had some proper rest between your activities. ✨🙌
please do more of the kegar route, it is too cute. I dont see enough comments about kegars route!
is any route done
nope
is the game on hiatus if so will the next update finally be about angus
The patreon is 2 updates ahead in 0.27.0 and both are rowley. there have also been posts for both july and august mentioning a new job that is probably why he has had less time for the project. I dont have patreon so I cant read the full descriptions but thats what I gathered so far
ok bit Like why the hell hasn’t angus gotten 1 single update in the last 2 years? im genuinely curious.
So, I was wondering if there is a possibility of a route for Arthur. I have to say, Ive been rather captivated by his personality in Rowley's route. Can't wait to see more of him regardless, great writing on your part.
Keep up the good work!
I would love to write a story for Arthur. If not a whole route, then maybe a short story as a bonus episode. Perhaps after finishing Rowley's route? :-)
First of all, thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate your involvement in the wonderful community of your making.
Honestly, when discussing the routes, I just can't seem to decide which I prefer, they all have their own unique quirks and traits that make me love every single one of the fellas.
I would love to see how the story progresses, and how the character arc of Rowley continues. Until then, keep up the good work, but most importantly, stay happy and healthy.
Kind regards, C
Angus been on my mind lately
I've played all the routes and I must say I really like Rowley, and i think his routes is the canon one (at least in my opinion) I hope I can buy the complete game someday. PS did you draw all of them your self? I think your art style is awesome
Hey, Moonduzt! Thank you for playing the game. At time time, I have not yet established which route will be the canon one, but Rowley's will be the first I'm gonna finish.
And yes, I drew the character sprites and CGs myself. Thank you kindly :-)
love Angus, I wanna be his little bro now too
Please finish Rowley, the best and i think he is really cute and the best one.
hey
why does the "cg viewer" thing not work? i got past multible cutscenes such as kegar's drawing of welkin, and it doesnt work.
Hello, the CG Gallery is currently available only in the Patreon version of the game.
Definitely finish Rowley, and even start Arthurs route :
Please finish Rowley. He is my favorite and l have waited years to see his happy ending. Then l will see Angus's and Keagar's. And then wait patiently for your next VN.
When Rowley and Arthur talks each other outside the hotel in day 4 , Rowley don't know Arthur and Welkin meets in the bar in day 1 , but when they are talking in the bar , Rowley Say that Welkin didn't remenber how he and Arthur meets.They talks about it off- screen?
It goes like this:
On Day3, during breakfast: Rowley learns from Angus that ~some polar bear~ was hitting on Welkin (and that Welkin doesn't remember anything from that).
On Day3, during lunch: Welkin tells Angus that he saw Arthur in town, but since Rowley knows the bear as Wallace, at the time, he can't connect the dots that they're in fact talking about his old friend.
On Day4: when they met in front of the hotel, Rowley is happy to see *Wallace*. He then finds out that his actual name is Arthur, and finally gets the full picture that this is the polar bear they were talking about earlier. Having that in mind, he then later in the bar starts asking Arthur questions about what actually happened between him and Welkin the last night (as Angus never told the details).
lol I'm catching up on the game and playing that Rowley scene right now. I was shook XD
"team citrussy" XD
Yes please finish Rowley's route.....I need him to confess his love for Welkin
Rowley is so damm cute man...
about the end notes, although I would really like more of Angus, I think you should end Rowleys route first. Why? Because I desperately need to see them in a happy ending! Rowley deserves someone who truly loves him 😭
Jokes aside, just do whatever man, dont try to finish one specifically, just write which one you feel at the mo'!
(I would like more Rowley tho ngl hehe)
Hey guys, the new update just dropped.
For this release, I deployed the builds by using an updated version of RPG Maker, so please let me know here in the comments if you notice any issues or changes in regard to the performance. Thank you in advance.
Long time no see LOL I know you just updated r o w l e y just wondering no rush any Headway on Angus also I was really wondering if r o w was even worth it because from what I read for the first few days he doesn't even notice that the main character might have feelings for him forgive me it's been so long since you've been active that I forgot the main characters name and also just a suggestion you might want to update your art for the l i o n again just a suggestion because I can barely tell he is a lion
I have a question:
When Rowley and Arthur talks each other outside the hotel in day 4 , Rowley don't know Arthur and Welkin meets in the bar in day 1 , but when they are talking in the bar , Rowley Say that Welkin didn't remenber how he and Arthur meets.They talks about it off- screen?
Is this dead?
nope it`s not dead, masterpiece like this takes time.
awesome thanks
Omg... this game is incredible..... I do writing and would gladly help with more story arcs..!
Thank you for playing the game and for the offer. For now, I'm working on the project all by myself, but I won't lie, I'm curious about the story arcs you have in mind :)
AFTER all these YEARS and i`m still wet.
Splendid >:3
I love this game, it's just a shame that the Mac Version of it won't work
Yes, it's a shame - this version of the engine I'm using, doesn't get any updates anymore to be compatible with the new version of Mac (and especially M1 macs). I hope that at least the Web-Version works properly on your end.
Thanks dude maybe one day that could change
