First of all, thank you all for the positive comments and feedback, it really helps me continue with development to know that it is appreciated.
I like it so far. The writing is good and the art is good. Although it seems a wee bit too dark.
One thing I am concerned about is how all the scenes seem to be missable. This honestly makes the game too branching. Which both slows down dev and also makes it a bit irksome to follow each girl.
So, as far it being a bit dark, I definitely intended it to be a bit more 'dark fantasy', as it seems most games in the genre have a MC who's lives (or at least the part that pertain to the game) are more or less a series of fortunate events like they have a horseshoe up their ass. So I wanted to take it in a bit of a different direction. I was honestly feeling it was maybe getting a bit too 'sunny' with the latest update I've done that's up on my patreon, and had was pondering throwing a bit more shade on it. I will, however, take this into account, and carefully consider just how dark it will be, so as not to go too far the other way.
And for it being "too branching", there are indeed some scenes that are mutually-exclusive, but some of the scenes that feel like you can't see both in the same play-through, there will be opportunities to trigger them later on in the story, as they're not tied directly to events in the main story. So I hope that helps alleviate at least a bit of that concern.
Would agree: Nice start.
One little nitpick: At one point the MC decides to eat a raw potato for breakfast (kinda like an apple).
Don't attempt this in RL, even at best your bowls will most likely glue you to the toilet for the rest of the day. At worst you are straight up poisening ourself.
Alright, definitely slightly nitpicky, though I will concede, I actually did not know that. And as I have had raw potato in the past, without any of these aforementioned side effects, led me to do some fact checking. So first of all, you are absolutely correct, they can indeed be poisonous. However, it seems like that particular toxin, glycoalkaloids, in large amounts is indeed hardful to humans. It sounds like this is largely only generated by the plants in parts that are exposed to sunlight, so as long as the potatoes are not green, or beginning to sprout, the levels should be quite low, and probably safe. But, still probably not the best idea.
I've done a fair bit of research for this game, trying to make sure certain things are as close to reality as possible. And that the one thing I overlook is a freaking potato?
I just can't believe it.
I wholeheartedly agree with the poster above, raw potato is a good way to empty your entire system over a toilet, while crying. Simple fix would be making it a simple "baked potato."
as far as the game goes, i'll admit fully at first i saw "oh another furry game, pass." but out of boredom i decided to take a look...and i'm glad to do so.
The story so far (while still in it's infancy) is good, has depth and has me wanting for more to see how it develops.
From your interractions, it's obvious you care about your game and want it to succeed, you're also not vain enough to blow every other opinion off, wich is a godsent.
All in all, thanks for the game, all the best to you and your SO and i hope to see many more updates. thumbs up!
I appreciate that, and thanks for taking the chance.
