Whats the major differences for 1.0, 1.01, and 1.4? Unless im deeply confused, 1.01 you have to pay for but 1.4 is open and public on patreon it seems.
Hey, not to throw shade on you being a literature god or anything, but do you also do some form of straight up fiction writing on the side, outside of being a game on FA or fanficiton, etc?
I only ask since game development is generally slow and if you're an ideas man, it would be super cool to have a side writing project you can pump out on slow dev days. Maybe like a prequel story for the game characters, childhood and origin stories and such.
I mean, I doubt you could glean all life information from that stone wall of a fox, Koshiro, in game at least.
Sadly I don’t write much else other than besides this game. If I did it would make the development times even longer as I’m a one man team who does the planning, coding, and writing. The only thing I don’t do for the game is the character art.
As for prequel and origin stories, stick around long enough and you might just see more about the other characters backgrounds like I did with Koshiro in this latest chapter 😉
please help out!! i keep extracting the file but it keeps having an error extracting file "archive" and idk why but no matter how many times i re tries, it still had the same error. and also when i skip the file it opens up a window they says a ren py game or something but it goes away too fast for me to screenshot it.then this window in the image pops up. Please help me here! im gonna try to re download though, for the third time.
i download the file, extract it, but it gets an error when its extracting near the end at about 98-99 percent, says it can't extract the file "archive" (image) and if i keep retrying, it keeps getting that error, so i just chose to skip the file but then it does that when i try to open the game.
It's most likely the way you're extracting it. I recognize that error.
Extract it by going into the zip file, right clicking and press "Extract all" and just let it extract wherever, then it should extract everything. If you want to move it you can do it after you've extracted it that way.
ive tried extracting it in a new folder by itself, extracting it where it was on the desktop,where it appears in the download folder and just.on my desktop like normal, but im still getting the same error where it cant extract the archive folder and i cant play it if i skip that folderand no matter how many times i re try to extract it, re download and wait an hour, its still not working... at this point im debating if i should really put in the effort in trying to fix this or just wait for the new build which honestly, i really dont wanna have to do,so if you or anyone else that actually reads this can help,please help me out on this. thx
Hi, I already know about the intro scene but unfortunately I can't do very much to fix it or any other issues that you come across with the android build. I programmed the game for pc and mac first with android as an afterthought. The other issue is that I also can't test it myself as I don't own an android phone and the only other option I can use is a built in mode for renpy to play the game as a phone build but that doesn't really work well. =(
Fair enough. I just try not to play graphic nsfw games on my computer. I'm an adult, but I do live with my parents (who know what I play but would rather not see it) . That can get awkward as you can imagine.
I played the new version at least a good ten hours between yesterday and now and I have a hard time when it comes to choosing between "runaway with koshiro" and "stay in the village" because the leak is barred no matter the choices that I do in the way of Koshiro. It's normal? Because in the previous version I had a choice. If it is a walkthrough question tell me which one for those who have to find for the ignorant that I am please.
Wrote this on another site about your game and wanted to give my opinions here.
So one pet peeve of mine in visual novels is romance is never romance but they fall short to become a replacement for XXX fap material. This game is amazing in that 90% of it isn't about the finish but the build up (No pun intended) From the slow start you meet the characters to the farthest currently possible It reels you in with a story as old as time but allows such flexibility in how you present yourself you really do feel the emotions your character brings to the table. From escaping thieves/assassins to having a small casual conversation with characters that while choices may be limited never cease to amaze me in how important they feel. This game is a representation to what it means to be anything from a game designer to the romance reader who wants to feel the swirling emotion of heartache, heartbreak, and heart filling. Minor Spoilers below so I recommend playing it first at least the first chapter.
The introduction really captivated me as I felt I identified with the character immediately. A child escaping an overbearing parent to do things they deem dangerous but are important to develop who you are while also trying to force a blend with those he has no interest in his well-being. You see the dangers of royalty as well as the care others who are like family went through to protect and how much they will sacrifice to protect him. You can see immediately a character that most could be attracted to without making some weird stereotype. From the brutish rhino who is quite honest in his morals and doesn't worry about what others think, to those who see duty honor and justice as the only factor in the heart that matters, to a mysterious fox forced to hide himself for the greater good never realizing who he really is. IF you don't mind some scenes of the variety of XXX I recommend this game as so far I've seen only 3 replaying the game 3x with 10 hours of game-play each but love a good romance novel that can capture those feelings they want you to feel. 1000% this game is definitely worth at least a try.
What can I say?!?!? This game is a pure masterpiece! Not only the visuals which are so catching but also the plot and the background of every single character are so we'll arranged that I can't stop playing :3
Just finished two of the three routes lets just say its a very suspenseful novel very emotional too! Leondros had me flustered, Koshiro (my favorite personally) had me squealing like a high school fan girl or something he's so sweet like i cant wait for more of him. The mysterious side of him is pretty damn hot if i may say so myself but what a journey so far. I love VNs like this that has a story and makes you feel like your on an adventure yourself with the MC's. To the author and artist wherever you are absolutely awesome work I really do we get to see more soon after your done dealing with real life issues.
Alright, so I’ve been seeing a lot of comments floating around about the status of the project and wanted to clear some things up so not to leave you all in suspense waiting and wondering when the next build will be.
For reasons I will not go to in depth about, this has been a bit of a hectic year. Some of it financially, some of it mentally, some of it simply based on how much time I even have to dedicate working on the game. This becomes especially true for me with the start of the holiday season around the end of October as I work in retail. What this means is that I pretty much haven’t touched the game since around the end of October. It’s a thing that just happens during this time of year where I become busy and even more tired and unmotivated to write or work thus leading to procrastination and lethargy.
Now there is no need to get too worried. I’m not going anywhere, I’m not canceling the game but I am taking a short break from it. If anything it’s more like a hiatus though one that In actuality started all the way back in October. For those looking forward to the next update I’m sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. I plan to continue working on the game here and there in my spare time of course but as for really focusing on getting this next build out there, I won’t be dedicating my free time until at least February and hopefully from there getting the build out by March. If things change I might get it out sooner or hopefully not later but for now there is a time to expect an update.
I thank you all for your support and comments. once I’ve gotten into a more stable position I’ll be right back to getting updates back out there. I can assure this next one will be completely different from the others I haven’t written thus far.
He said that he's been having IRL issues recently, however the project is NOT being canceled or ditched, he said that he will work on it during his spare time so as of now it will take a lot longer than before; for the newest update to be released.
Thanks! :D Wasn't sure what was going on, I really love this VN, and was hoping more would come from it, I understand that life kinda... throws a wrench in things though, but it's good to hear that it's still going through :D
I'm on android and keyboard is hidden until it have to be used. Like with MC name. So I don't think it's possible on Android cellphone, unless a physical keyboard is connected, but I don't have any.
Thanks anyway 👍
Soon I'll get a Windows Surface or a 2 in 1 pc. I want to read / play on sofa or in bed. That's not practical with a large desktop 😜
When I came upon the opening sequence, the encounter with rats, I thought it would have a choice to make a "risky" escape from them, perhaps offering them a portion of what the prince experienced in the Cathedral? If that doesn’t sound too perverted, I suggest a scene of prince being overly obedient, which results in a nsfw scene of dubious morality. Maybe it’ll open certain choices in the future, 'sluttier' choices, perhaps?
Really love this so far . Will try and become a patron when I get paid . Any sign of an update ? As Iv gotten to the end of two of the characters so far
Just got to the scene depicted in the 4th image of the games page with Ramos, and in my honest opinion, I was totally fine imagining what the MC looked like on my own. Totally took me off guard, and honestly made me kind of uncomfortable. Nothing to do about it I guess, oof.
Firstly, I have to say, Kingsguard is one of the few if not the only visual novel that I know where I'm as heavily engrossed with its story and characters, Koshiro is my favorite personally. His backstory is really interesting to me, I feel I can relate to him, emotionally and mentally speaking even with differing circumstances. I genuinely just want all the good things for this poor boy.
Secondly, I just thought you should know, in Koshiro's(shocker) route the CG art is a little off, the style is amazing, however his manhood looks fake or unfinished(assuming that's the actualy case). It's not major, but it stood out to me amongst the rest of the incredibly detailed art.
I saw the Leo CG as well, however I imagine that's just an outdated piece as Leo got an appearance rework. The reason I pointed out Koshiro's is because his CG is using the reworked appearance. (I stress that I dont think the image as a whole is bad or wrong at all, just that single part felt out of place or incomplete)
I hope I dont come off as insensitive nor entitled, I just thought that I should point out something that I felt was inconsistent with the other very detailed pieces (that isn't considered placeholders)

Whats the major differences for 1.0, 1.01, and 1.4? Unless im deeply confused, 1.01 you have to pay for but 1.4 is open and public on patreon it seems.
But 1.4 is months old and 1.01 was just updated?
Whats actually newer or the more up to date one?
1.00 is 1.04, renamed. These are free public builds. Use 1.00 as it contains additional content.
1.01 is the up to date Patreon build which has the additional Chapter 8 for Koshiros path.
Thanks!

Is there a walkthrough??
Ones that I have made no. If there is any out there that someone has made I’m not really sure to be honest. Possibly.
If you're still having this issue. Please name all the steps you do for this to occur.
i download the file, extract it, but it gets an error when its extracting near the end at about 98-99 percent, says it can't extract the file "archive" (image) and if i keep retrying, it keeps getting that error, so i just chose to skip the file but then it does that

alrighty thx. i'll try
soooooo it didn't work....the past two times I've retried... re download, re try, etc... dunno why this keeps happening
ive tried extracting it in a new folder by itself, extracting it where it was on the desktop,where it appears in the download folder and just.on my desktop like normal, but im still getting the same error where it cant extract the archive folder and i cant play it if i skip that folderand no matter how many times i re try to extract it, re download and wait an hour, its still not working... at this point im debating if i should really put in the effort in trying to fix this or just wait for the new build which honestly, i really dont wanna have to do,so if you or anyone else that actually reads this can help,please help me out on this. thx
Here's the archive file, put it in the "game" folder: download
a new update, say less
Is this android build the most recent?
I do enjoy this game a lot, Koshiro is my favorite.
My only issues are that in the Android build the words in the intro run together, and when playing the game the words run off the dialogue box.
I took screenshots if needed, but I don't wanna bog down your comment section with pictures if I can help it.
Hi, I already know about the intro scene but unfortunately I can't do very much to fix it or any other issues that you come across with the android build. I programmed the game for pc and mac first with android as an afterthought.

Fair enough. I just try not to play graphic nsfw games on my computer. I'm an adult, but I do live with my parents (who know what I play but would rather not see it) . That can get awkward as you can imagine.
If you're interested in fixing the Android build (no pressure since it's an afterthought), there are emulators for both PC and Mac. https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-emulators-for-pc-655308/
I have tried those ones actually, I don't normally test the android builds when I run it on memu it seems to work without any problems.
Okay. No biggie. It's not game breaking or anything.
Why are there 2 android download link?
One of them didn't seem to work for others so I uploaded another build. I just didn't take down the old one.
Help me please!
I played the new version at least a good ten hours between yesterday and now and I have a hard time when it comes to choosing between "runaway with koshiro" and "stay in the village" because the leak is barred no matter the choices that I do in the way of Koshiro.
It's normal? Because in the previous version I had a choice.
If it is a walkthrough question tell me which one for those who have to find for the ignorant that I am please.
That choice now leads to a separate path that isn’t yet finished so I have blocked it off for now. It will be available again in the future.
Android build won't install
Edit 1.00 universal works.
Same here too. Did you guys find some solutions?
New version works
RAMOS IS MY FAVORITE
What happened to Android build
i have a question when will be the next update?

Why is Every character blacked out
Love it Keep up the great and amazing work! Leandros is the best!!!

I want more.
But take your time and rest if you need it, I wait.
Please fix the MC dream CG sex scene with Leon's Route, kinda dissapoint about the art kinda different
Did this project get ditched? Did I miss the memo or....
He said that he's been having IRL issues recently, however the project is NOT being canceled or ditched, he said that he will work on it during his spare time so as of now it will take a lot longer than before; for the newest update to be released.
Thanks! :D Wasn't sure what was going on, I really love this VN, and was hoping more would come from it, I understand that life kinda... throws a wrench in things though, but it's good to hear that it's still going through :D
Would be nice if it was possible to hide the textbooks if one wanted a full screen to admire the artwork.
'H' key to hide the hud in renpy games, so you can admire them
I'm on android and keyboard is hidden until it have to be used. Like with MC name. So I don't think it's possible on Android cellphone, unless a physical keyboard is connected, but I don't have any.
Thanks anyway 👍
Soon I'll get a Windows Surface or a 2 in 1 pc. I want to read / play on sofa or in bed. That's not practical with a large desktop 😜
Is the android version of the game up to date?
Is there a walkthrough?
Has there been any unreleased updates to this game on patreon?
Not that I see.
Tried it, liked it and since you're supporting android builds I am definitely supporting you on Pat. Look forward to your next build.
I'm constantly checking if they updated the game, the suspence is killing me. Is there an official date for the update?
I wish....

Really love this so far . Will try and become a patron when I get paid . Any sign of an update ? As Iv gotten to the end of two of the characters so far
Honestly my favorite is Ramos despite how mean he sounds
Love the story can't wait to see how koshiro progresses
Just got to the scene depicted in the 4th image of the games page with Ramos, and in my honest opinion, I was totally fine imagining what the MC looked like on my own. Totally took me off guard, and honestly made me kind of uncomfortable. Nothing to do about it I guess, oof.
RIP its cause of my preferences
Koshiro is one of my favorite and so is Leandros
Firstly, I have to say, Kingsguard is one of the few if not the only visual novel that I know where I'm as heavily engrossed with its story and characters, Koshiro is my favorite personally. His backstory is really interesting to me, I feel I can relate to him, emotionally and mentally speaking even with differing circumstances.

I gotta say I thought the same upon watching Koshiro's CG. That dck looks really weird.
ikr? Ramos' CG is great for real.
not to hate the other two but they really look weird
I saw the Leo CG as well, however I imagine that's just an outdated piece as Leo got an appearance rework. The reason I pointed out Koshiro's is because his CG is using the reworked appearance. (I stress that I dont think the image as a whole is bad or wrong at all, just that single part felt out of place or incomplete)
I hope I dont come off as insensitive nor entitled, I just thought that I should point out something that I felt was inconsistent with the other very detailed pieces (that isn't considered placeholders)
Can't wait for the next update, hope the next update will be Ramos
any clue about the doran the breaker question?
Lion works
I'm kinda hoping maybe Hyosuke will turn to being a good boi and can be romanced abit >///> maybe that's just me
