There was a chapter 1, but it's now 'contained' in chatper 2. The title of the release will, unless anything change, alling to the last chapter released. Chatper 1 went from the beginning of the story to when MC talks with that girl in the part / in front of a funtain / in a city square, i don't remember exactly the enviroment. Just before he leaves with his GF to go to parents' house.
I believe you're thinking about the new version of Where It All Began?

In this game it starts with MC leaving a music concert and hooking up with a girl

Don't need them. Too many creator's put them in and they are shit and would be better off without them.
Nah, thats 100% wrong. Even terrible animations improve a game massively. I rarely touch games that arent animated, might as well read a book.

Animations can be nice but they don't add anything fundamental to a story driven game - it's like frosting on an already tasty cake. They always take more time (often large multiples) to create than still images, so the volume of game content that can be produced in a time period will be lower.

In my opinion, I think I'd rather have Color of my Sound story progress at a higher rate than get animations.

In the case of a game which doesn't have a strong story line and/or attractive character art, then faptastic animations would be one of the only ways for it to stand out.

In the end this is still porn, and i prefer animated porn to still images any day.

Everyone has their own taste and opinion. But CoMS is probably not for you, as the dev has stated he does not plan to add animations, at least not unless (until? :love:) the game is successful enough that he could pay someone to do that part of the development grind.

Oh ive been enjoying this game for a while, the comment about animations is nearly two years old.

So I have finally found some time to play this.. I am very very impressed! Amazing job!

-Beautiful world building. I even red the Codex, which I never do, so that says a lot.
-Very interesting characters. I love it when each characters act like they have their own interest, likes and agenda and are not there simply to interact with the main character. Very good.
-Amazing intrigue.
-Art is also very well done.

My one critique is the lack of music. In my opinion, music is absolutely essential to set up the mood of a scene. And given the quality of the rest of the novel I do believe including music is the way to further push it up. Other than that I don't have much to say.


I put it on my list to support when releases come. Any chance of including itch.io as a way to support it? Other than that, please think about steam. This novel would do well.

Kudos to dev and hope it becomes a very successful one!

EDIT: from what Cabin Fever said below, the lack of music might be a choice from dev according to story. If it is the case, I would really like to know why. Unless it is a spoiler. Then, I guess I will learn in the future.

Perhaps related to MC no longer being able to hear music, but just noise?

I think one of the dev's post in this thread explained why he chose to not have music. It's missing for a reason that fits the story.

Ohh I would like to know that.

The main character did say he has some trouble hearing music, anymore, that he can only hear noise. Maybe it is related to that.

Unless the reason is just outstanding on the story, though, I tend to believe music is really essential in a good VN. But I will give the benefit of doubt!
