Well this is interesting. The art looks beautiful, interactive scenes are very welcome, and I am impressed by the creativity. It's nice to see a developer with a spark of inspiration.
Reading your posts about the importance of storytelling and gameplay are also refreshing. Games are an interactive medium, and far too few devs try to properly harness that.
Truthfully, you've almost certainly bit off more than you can chew. Telling an interactive story without dialogue forces a lot of emphasis on having a wealth of well designed visuals, interactive scenes must take a lot of development hours, as do minigames, and on top of that making an engaging survival game is a lot of work by itself.
But you have my support for trying! Best of luck.

"0.2.0-pc"What version of the game do you have? Sounds like it's old one
I discovered this when I noticed that it's "easier" (well...) to control the plane if you press the right button before the circle appears on her boobs (i.e. before the plane has started to tilt dangerously in one direction). Once the plane has started to tilt it will crash insanely fast, especially if you press the wrong button or you're 0.1 seconds too late.
Pressing the wrong button while the plane is level seems to not matter so much as long as you press the right button soon after.
But as I said, the art is amazing.. The survival gameplay is good, it's at least not infuriating. Without the sex scenes it would probably make for a quite good mainstream survival point-and-click phone game.
As a general advice to all game devs, don't put minigames in sex scenes (although I personally think the typical fill-the-pleasure-bar minigame can be tolerable). But definitely do not make the minigame kill the MC if you fail.

The art looks awesome, but I suspect that the "emoji language" is gonna be a deal breaker for many of the older players (like me)... I'm barely able to use the emoji's on my phone without f*cking up what I'm trying to say, so trying to read what YOU'RE trying to say with a whole string of em... Yeah... Probably not gonna work well for me.

First games, that I played, didn't had much texts at all (Mario, arkanoid, tetris etc), so as older player I don't find a big problem in this approach
. There are no "whole strings" of emojis in Tame It!, lines are carefully divided and simplified as much as possible. For example there are soft-limit of 4 emojis in a script line.But anyways, it's normal that some gamers won't get or like the idea, we are ready to it, there will be more games from us with other unusual ideas in them
.P.S. Interesting note, my first game was Sopwith, at that time I couldn't even read. But Tame It! emoji system is not for children, obviously, but for non-english speakers and for sake of gameplay features, that will appear in couple of chapters
The bigger our community becomes, the more important it is for us to share with you news about the development process. We've decided to do periodic small news on progress between releases to keep you informed (mainly on
Last week we were occupied by crafting interface and mechanics, plot scenes and scenario texts of the second chapter. Yes, we write full thoughts and dialogs, that afterwards get rewrited as emojis. We'll tell you the details about this process later. As gallery voting comes to an end, we'll change our focus to that gallery, so it might appear in a new build in the 0.2 branch.
Meantime we've included press-kit into the roadmap, a step to broke the vicious circle of bad media coverage. Stay tuned and thanks for your support!

Just a small suggestion about emoji language. I think just adding some small voices like "Ooo", "Hmm?", "Hmmm!", "Yeah".... etc. can make it LOT better.
Good news, everyone! =D
Thanks for waiting! We have finished the new chapter and are happy to finally present it to you.
We planned to do more for the 0.3.0 release, but we don't want to make our patrons wait any longer. This is a gift to us and our players to celebrate the end of the year
In this chapter you will find new adventures on the island, a mysterious new character, new abilities for creating various things and cooking, and a new mini-game.
In mid-January we plan to make another additional release, in which we will finalize all the planned features.
We hope you enjoy it.
Have fun playing and happy holidays!)

Great art, although I absolutely hate how the MC looks.
A stunning, hot blonde girl on one hand and a guy who looks as if he has one chromosome too much on the other, it just doesn't fit.

I had the same problem so I started over. Now I seem to be stuck at a bug. I made fire the first time, but when it goes out and I try to re-make it, nothing happens. The items are removed from my inventory, but the fire doesn't burn. And that seems to be preventing me from moving forward.Are the old 0.2 saves working?
Everytime I click on the hut the game crashes. I guess I'll start a new game
Sad, but no, renpy manages saves internally and it's very hard to keep them compatible when game mechanics are changes so much. But we plan to do chapter selector in the next big update, so this problem will be resolved at least partially. And I hope that in the future updates there will be less mechanic changes, so we'll have resources to make saves compatible.Are the old 0.2 saves working?

Lee's character and physical build are developing with the story flow, just give him a time to mature
We trying to reproduce this problem, but with no luck. May I ask you to send me (here or in our Discord) save file?!
