I managed to play all the game has to offer for now and I'm just gonna say, I love the idea and aspects of it, I can't wait for the future uodates

How many Route are there? 

Pls help me. PLS give me step on how to unlock those Route 

Every time you reach the update ending credits, you first get instructions on how to unlock another scene if you missed something.

I'm curious to know how Luke and Teak are gonna reconcile their differences.

Bet he's a big happy drool boy deep down.

I also want him to share his mana-vision with all the doggos~ 

(+2)

How can a single man hurt himself this much while cooking?! That scene was very nice, I'm looking forward to seeing more Burry! (Although Rune is best boy to me)

Good work out there. <3

(+3)

Kitchen is a battlefield...

Thank you! We'll see much more of both Rune and Burry at the baths :D

DOGS IS BEST !

when’s the next update 

So far I've been consistently updating at the end of the month on Patreon and a couple weeks later on itch. This month it will be the same :)

oh say less 

(+2)(-1)

so yeah it's about that meat fruit, I'm little perplexed when im first read it, but after that im still focus in the storyline and forget about it, then i read the comments below and raus comments about imagine the tree, and this is how i imagine it, yeah its from resident evil 5 im watching that games playthrough rightnow,  so from what i see so far this world is like after war or after apocalypse world that wipe off almost all humans and technology they have, maybe war against aliens since shelter is like a spaceship afterall, so after few hundred year or something there is still monster around, and maybe some of it becomes neutral and not aggressive, this meat fruit tree maybe one of it, try imagine in the beginning this tree actually eating human alive and make them as nutrition to grow meat fruits that keep seed in it to grow another tree, but after there is no human around they start to eat animal and then they become less aggressive and then after there is not much animal around because they become more smart to avoid this three, this tree then become more like normal tree that's grow with soil that grow meat fruit from what dna they collect before in this case it's maybe animal meat fruit and not human meat fruit. But we still don't know it yet, if this meat fruit actually have human dna or animals dna, but if we trust our boys nose in this vn then if this meat fruit is dosnt smell like our human luke meat, then it's pretty safe to say it's more like animal meat than human meat the end of my conclusion lol.

Wait i need to add this WARNING CURSED COMMENT ABOVE 👆

(2 edits) (+4)

version: 1.5.0

this comment is gonna contain spoilers, so go play the game first.
and apologizes about grammar mistakes.

I've really liked this game, to the point where i am recommending friends to play it. I've noticed few themes that i thought were really cool and i do wish they will be expanded upon. And this is just stuff i interpreted, it could be i took them the wrong way.

I personally really like the theme of disempowerment and disrespect towards the human. From tweak overt hatred (i do know that tweak cries when he beats you up, i don't think it matters a lot, it just means he is just not a complete dick), to rune not caring about the player consent and doesn't take a no for an answer when you go upstairs with him, the same happens with that dream sequence with Burry, it does imply that the main character doesn't consider the dogs as people who require consent from him. Burry also chastises the main character for being upset with the mistreatment he faces from tweak, saying he is upset from his bruised ego.

I do know some of it is intentional, the MC mentions that they don't refer to him as one of his own but as the "other", "the human". He also fears that he will stop being useful one day and they will kick him out. Ironically, alon is the only character i felt gave some respect towards the human, although that sex scene did make me question it.

I really do wish the author would expand to those themes as i think they are really cool to explore in such a world where you are the only human available. 


Yup! That's the core conflict for the whole Skies Ablaze event and I'm building everything around it. I hope you'll find the development and resolution interesting!

Thank you for your analysis and kind words!

i checked the last update and something got into my mind. when you tell Burry about teak's treatment of you, he doesn't take it seriously and blames you for feeling that. but in the new update, he was upset a dog peed on the guardian and is willing to give them a very strong firm talk.

i thought the talking about teak is about how the dogs don't take your concerns seriously, so i am bit confused.

Excuse my language but wHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS A "MEAT FRUIT" AND WHY WOULD ANYONE CONCEIVE SOMETHING SO CURSED?!?!

(+3)

Now imagine a whole tree!

...
......
............
........................
...It would have cost you $0 to not say something like that, and yet you did... WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU CURSE US WITH SUCH A THOUGHT?! "Meat fruit" was more than enough of a cursed concept on it's own without... THAT being brought to our attention!

(+3)

Be grateful I didn't draw the fruit skinned! And I was very tempted to!

I actually watched a rabbit skinning/de-boning tutorial on youtube to make sure I narrate that scene correctly. I can still see that gore when I close my eyes... o__o

Relax, meat fruit doen't exist. It can't hurt you.

Funny thing, this is only the Second game where i saw  meat harvested like from a farm. 100 points for anyone who knows which was the first one. xD

But yeah, the design for the meat fruit could have been a bit better.

the digimon world games? do i win xD?

Well, it was a pretty suggestive scene... in fact, I wondered if you weren't some kind of hunter for adding all those particulars xD
And well... if the purpose was to make us feel a bit like Luke in that moment, it worked :D

Where is my Bawwwwrry? I need cuddles :(

Now I want to see the whole tree...

(-1)

this is what i imagine it, it's from resident evil 5 btw

meat fruit? *thinks of the Sweet Pool VN*

(1 edit) (+1)

I'm confused.. Didn't Alon have a scene where we would go under the table and.. y'know? I've gotten every ending you could get so far and you still can't do the scene, have you deleted it? Or are we supposed to do something specific? But besides all that, I love this amazing game of yours!! I see so much potential and can't wait for Max's update scene!! Alon and Max are so cutttee!!

(+1)

You have to see Alon's appearance in "conversation about weapons" scene in any of your playthroughs. If you have seen it, in Alon's afternoon scene you should get a bonus dialogue option that would lead to what you seek ;)

We'll see more of Max at the baths and in his own afternoon hangout path so I hope you'll like it :)

(btw don't let Alon know you think he's "cute"! ;P)

(...I think so too, though)

(+1)

Ah, got it! Thank you so much! Honestly, I probably wouldn't have liked "Shelter" this much if Alon weren't real X3 

Alrighty! I'll definitely keep up to date with all your updates!

(Aha, yeah I don't wanna get slit with any of his daggers so yeah, that's a good idea uwu)

I'm looking forward to include more Alon too! He's been just as fun to write as I thought he would be :D

Yeah, Luke can be an airhead sometimes and Teak is an absolute jerk but they are all still good boys deep down. Their flaws create possibilities of interesting journey of improvement imo.

Thank you for your kind words. I'll keep doing my best! :)

How  can I get to Burry's route? If he has one, I mean...

You started it in this update. It's not over yet and it's going to be continued :)

I'm having the same problem...

(-1)

I'm having the same problem :'(

(1 edit) (+1)

Hey mate! I removed it temporarily because it had a bug that made the game install as a new app instead of updating. I asked fellow VN developers for advice in fixing it but we couldn't. However, I know where I messed up and I know for sure that everything is going to work smoothly from the next month onward. In the meantime, if you have old save files, please move them to the new build's folder manually. That works for people.

The build is back up for download again.

Sorry for the mess up with Android build's this month. I was always so proud of how well it ran!

Quick update! Someone helped me fix that and I'm eternally grateful to them! If you haven't installed that old build file yet, please get the one that is available to download now and it should be working all fine :)

I'm so, so glad I could get that fixed before going to bed (2:30AM here now)! Zzzz

And sorry spoiler but i always want to say this Luke is looks like a panda in this b!urry image

Haha yeah, kind of! :D

Um raus there is a little problem, So my android just instal the new version instead of update it, like it was a different apps is it some kind of bug or something?, and after that i delete the old one after its instal the new update, but i noticed a different, the old one 1.5 named shelterVN, but the new version 2.0 named shelter, maybe that's why android think it's a different app?, it's just my speculation though I'm not an experts or something.

(1 edit)

Yeah, I changed something I shouldn't have and returning to the old naming still doesn't make the app recognize the old build. My apologies. Now I know for the future what absolutely never touch and after talking with fellow VN developers I'm confident that this issue is never going to happen again. If you have old save files, please move them to the new build's folder manually. Sorry mate!

edit: found a fix! It works now :D

(+1)

Welp i already deleted it though but No worries mate, it's not a big deal anyways,  i always play it from the start for every update and rarely use my save file, and since the vn still not to long(for now😁) it's really not a big deal, and i love this update btw, it's full with emotion and i really like your story 🥰. Keep it up raus we will always be here for you😉.

Dawww it really made me feel much better when you said that. Thank you :)

In the meantime... someone helped me fix that issue! So new people will be able to update normally with the newly updated build file :D Awoo~!

(1 edit) (+1)

I really liked the game. It has great lore(I LOVE GREAT LORES) with its own history and laws, good plot and nice characters(nice means well-written, even an asshole(whose name starts with T and end with K) can be a great character), the MC has a stated character. Excellent work.  However, there are a few small, subjective remark that I would like to make. First: Luke in some moments looks blank(not all the time, and it's better to be blank than  to be with "dumb protagonist"syndrome ) and the second: I need more Max. That's it. Yeah, that's the biggest problem for me. I want that cutie to be mine. Please, tell me he's going to get a route. And again, great job! 

Thank you! I'm happy you appreciate the "rude dog" too!

I promise you that we will have more Max. He has his own afternoon hangout route :) I hope you'll like it!

Really? That's weird...

Is it the same for everyone?

I'm doing tests now...

After tests:  I made a test "7th update" build and it updated our current build without any issues, keeping the old saves saves and all. It's either an issue on your end or something in between the 5th and 6th update. I'll ask people around if they encountered a similar issue to yours.

It's the same for me👋

I tested updating from Alon's to Burry's build and you're right, it's the same for me too. I'm working on fixing that. In the meantime, please move the save files manually to the new build like AK47...

It's fixed now! :D

This is a good anime plot. The classic human never give up and conqour challenges kinda vibe.

omg im so excited, i SOOOOOO want to spend the evening with burry, im dying inside, cant wait

Am I the only one having trouble with itch.io? When I add the tags gay, furry ,visual novel I always only have the same 30 results and this game is not on the list for some reason, there is way more than 30 but I always land on them accidentaly. Because of that I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of great games like this one.

Anyone know why they don't show up?

(+2)

You have to filter the content by explicit, I don't really know where is the option but supposedly you need to do that.

ty I finnaly can see them all, it's in the options you need to turn on "show adult content" I never noticed it before

(1 edit)

Glad to help and thanks for specifying :D

(+2)

I weezed as soon as I noticed that the canine's eyes in the background actually shifted to 'me' that little detail was actually amazing keep it up! (If your wondering what I'm talking about it's the dong question.)

(+1)

Yeah I loved that detail...they were not messing around

(+4)

Looks like I missed a lot of updates o__o

The add of the wagging tails to the scenes is so cute :)

I guess you also add some new expressions to the characters (I really like how you continue to improve this game even when the scenes are still good without improvements), and the dark corner of Alon is an ingenious (and funny way) to explore all the paths of the game :D

Speaking of Alon... the conversation with him is one of the funniest and craziest thing I've ever seen, I won't mind to venture again in the barkness in his company xD

Well... thanks for continuing to share this game with us and for giving us moments of fun even in such hard times (and thanks for the new don... dogs xDDD).

I can't wait to see more with my cuddly Burry, awooo :)

(+3)

Awoo, mate! I'm happy you came back to catch up on the updates! I was hoping that someone would notice those improvements over time :D Alon's reception was amazing overall lol. I personally love him too and I can't wait to write him into more scenes. I want to see him interacting with other dogs more!

I think people like how Burry's update turned out. I hope you'll enjoy it too :)

i love it.

Deleted 3 years ago

I thought that Alon would have been the classical grumpy guy, but he's a crazy doggo (or better, wolfo xD), more complex than one could ever imagine. I'm curious to see more of him, but for now I'm looking forward to see my big boy Burry, awoooo :D

(-3)

Is this the finish app, like it has an ending?

(+2)

Nope, it's in ongoing development with monthly updates

okey

Does the bomb actally explode?

(If you don't do anything i mean)

Yes!

Alon it's my crush, I love everything about him, his eye patch, the way he talks and even his color ... heh ❤️💞 (I loved the game, keep up the great work ❤️) 

(+4)

Another heart stolen by the stealthy rogue! I'm sure he's secretly happy that you like each of those things about him <3

(+1)

The pat on the back and the bad ending surprise :D

(4 edits) (+5)

10/10. Incredibly good characters, magic system, dialogues and options, THE TENSION! It didn't stick to the "buff furry visual novel" default, and the ones that ARE buff match with their personalities and history, and they ACTUALLY have fur! All over the body! It touched concepts regarding race, and I absolutely love the unlockables, multiple endings, and the extra scenes with Alon are absolutely great. In personal experience, whenever I play a dating sim, I always head for the buff guy, but in here? God, I loved everyone, Burry has my heart so far! Thank you a lot for making this astonishing, well written and drawn visual novel, friend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Edit: I was so caught up in it, I made every choice possible in the game, just to get every last bit of text from it hahah

Edit 2: No but seriously, they have FUR! I'm mesmerized! Most, or rather all, of the other visual novels I've played have characters with basically a colored skin and some tuffs, calling it a macaroni. I'm in love!

(+4)

Hahaha yeah! I do love my doggies fluffy and doggy-like! I always felt similar way like you, that many of the furry media nowadays omit many of those important details... So I'm basically highlighting all of those things! A bit as my own indulgence, as well as something that I find interesting to try and meaningfully weave into the narration when possible :D

I'm happy that you enjoy Shelter so much! I wonder what you'll think about the next update. It's all about Burry :)

(1 edit)

Can't wait for it! 

But may I ask something? Why was Burry so assertive with Alon, but not with Teak? Alon almost didn't do anything, while Teak...uh, y'know? Not that Burry would fight him, but I'm certain Teak respects him. It kinda makes Burry sound like a coward?

(+1)

Honestly, I that's the case of some slight favoritism. However, he would still stop Teak if he saw the events of the "cheat at arm wrestling" branch but he didn't witness that moment. All that Burry heard were some random remarks at Luke during the day but he didn't pay them much mind. Hints at to why are touched upon in the the next update :)

Hello, i just recently played the game. Does the timer during beginning of the game really necessary? It made me skip the dialogues because i don't want it to run out.

(1 edit) (+2)

Theres's pleeeenty of time, keep playing! No need to rush.

Well, it's just that the timer gives a sense of urgency.  I just find it weird that i want to skip dialogues so early in the game on my first playthrough. 

Yeah, but keep playing. Even if it's meant to blast off

(+2)

Absolutely amazing! The characters have so much personality to them and are all extremely lovable! The story seems shallow at first but as you go you learn more and more things which only make you wanna know the true story of what the shelter is.

The only con is that I spent like 20 minutes trying to not blink with Alon for 30 seconds and nothing special happened xD, my favorite character by far, I love when you surprise him and he has that funny look on his face, always has me smiling!

(+1)

Haha it's great to hear you had fun with it and you like Alon! He had a lot of positive reaction after this update :D

You're right about the blinking gimmick, though. I didn't even plan to make a minigame out of it but it was super fun to code! I know that eventually I'll think out a good reward to put there... but yeah, for now you are simply bound to lose sooner or later and that's it!

and i give him of blowjob. XD

(-1)

Well i hope when we get to the sex scene or smthn we can be the top i'm tired all the vn i played the mc is all bottom

(1 edit) (+3)

Just finished playing this game, awesome characters, great story and i can't wait to cook with burry. Will teak's backstory and reason why he hate humans be released in future builds?

(+1)

I'm happy you enjoyed it! Yes, Teak's stuff will be explored :)

(3 edits) (+1)

Lovely and well drawn characters. 

The idea of fast reactions was something new 4 me, but it fits well. 

Good game so far...


btw: the thumbnail here on itch.io is not rly an eye-catcher... it is pure luck that I hit it.

(+1)

What made me look at this vn was how cute max is UwU

The artwork is nice but its 2 bright for a tumbnail ;)

(1 edit) (+1)

I really like this game its really enjoyable and I love the characters well except for Teak I have many things to say about him but id rather not say them (You know what screw it!) Anytime Teak disrespects Luke I want to hit him in the muzzle with a two by four even though i find how he is with Max adorable.

lol me too

(1 edit)

when is the next update? I gotta see what happens!

(+1)

It's always on Patreon before the month ends and on itch a couple weeks after. I'm pretty sure it'll be the same for the next update too :D

(+2)

So, how in the blazes do you beat the staring contest with Alon, no matter how fast I end up clicking I loose it.

(+1)

You can't win it and there is no reward for reaching a high score. At least not yet. In the future updates I may add a little reward of some kind if you reach 50s or so (I reached 49, people say they reach over a minute!).

I didn't even plan turning it into a minigame but coding it was fun :P But it's rewardless for now.

(+2)

How the hell did you get 49 seconds. I could barely get past 10. guess my overall timing was off.

(+1)

I got to 97  :3

(+1)

At the beginning you gotta let the timer go to the end as close as possible

(+2)

Love it! The music is really good and fits the mood, the lore is interesting (all the 'mana' stuff is neat!), doggos aren't my favourite in general but there's some damn good bois in this one. The latest update is great as well, unlocking the BJ scene was a surprise to be sure, but a hell of a welcome one! :D Anything for Alon who's clearly the cutest of the lot. Good mix of personalities too, keep it up! :)

Haha I'm happy you like the boys and everything! <3

Just don't let Alon know that you think he's "cute". That's one of his greatest triggers!

(+1)

Esta en español? :c

Mi ingles no es tan bueno como para entender al 100% los dialogos 

(+1)

Lo siento, solo está en inglés. Aún no hay planes de traducirlo al español. Quizás busque un traductor una vez que termine este juego.

(+2)

Where can i download the background music on android.

(+2)(-1)

You like the music? :D

I promised myself that I'd share the mp3s in a bulk once I have composed ten pieces and I think I have more than that now. Follow my Twitter and I may get them compiled and shared sometime this month :)

UwU tq

Check out my Tweeter now :D I just posted it!
