I don't know if this is a me thing or a thing with the version I have (.136), but for some reason the expressions for all characters stop changing completely in day 11 of Chester's route onwards. Is there something I can do to fix this?
quick question about the game once the game is 100 percent completed will eventually itch.io get a free completed version after the completed version is on patreon or is paid for awhile? if not do you plan to stop updating the public build before the completed release? i ask this because I'm deciding if or not to go ahead pledge on patreon im kind of leaning towards pledging cuz i really like the story so far :)
The -final- version will be free to Patrons, and it will be purchasable on Itch. There will come a point where I stop updating the public version as well. The full routes will end up going into public updates (and maybe the epilogue) but any kind of 'Bonus' days I do will be Patreon only and part of the final version.
So I just finished Spencer's story I got the best ending possible. It was so heart felt and touching it actually made me cry at the end. So I thank you and everyone helping. Thank you so much.
Dwayne is giving me HIMBO VIBES...love him to death tho!!! Keep up the good work and if you don't keep creating VN's after ECA Dyne...I will haunt you when I die! 🤣🤣🤣
choose to hang out with coach on day 2, it should be pretty obvious from there. Also don't practice with coach on day 1 for good measure, otherwise you might start Coach's route by accident
I love this! I'd just like to say, I was not expecting the emotional roller coaster I've been riding since I discovered this beautifully written and illustrated work of art. I've so far followed 4 paths and each time have been more surprised and amazed at the emotion and care thats been put into the characters and their interactions, the subtle details, the well placed music. I just finished Darius' path and have to say at this point his is my favourite, everything about his story is well done, so many highs and lows, the suspense, I can honestly say I was in tears at times, and laughing at others! Thank you so much for such an amazing work of art.
I just finished, like 10 minutes ago, Coach's path... and again I am an emotional mess, so SO many ups and downs, but so worth it, and such a sweet character, with a really nice finish there.
Also, as someone whos had brushes with the black dog in the past, I really appreciate the time and writing put into it, it allowed me to really relate and sympathise with his character and that of the player, for me it made it all the more satisfying when things turned around.
Also! Damn, I swear my heart stopped a moment at that one scene, I'm sure you know which one, waking up the morning after a rough day...
So again I say Sir, AMAZING job and super well written, so much thought and emotion poured into the characters, the music is spot on perfect for those moments, and the art is beautiful, I have enjoyed all the paths I've followed thus far, and I still say Darius has my favourite, but now it is very closely followed by Harold!
I look forward to everything else you do with this!
Is their a possibility that we can date Archibald in the future ??? I know the chances are kinda 0 because as far as i remember someone else ownes him (have the rights for him because its his character) but it would be so cool because he looks like a very intresting and mysteries character.
I have to support what Dyne said. See No Evil by CaptainGerBear is a great game. It's puzzle focused but you definitely learn to love the characters in there.
question! im a 5$ patreon now and if im right, i believe the completed guides come with it? how do i access those? im sorry im kinda new to patreon and dont know what im doing really.
If your Chromebook is compatible with Android apps, you could install it that way. If it's compatible with Linux mode (which is more likely) you could too. However since both options are more technical you'll probably need to follow guides on the internet on how to sideload stuff into the Chromebook :)
this is kind of, a little review thing from what ive seen of this vn over the years!
extracurricular activities is a very great vn. alot of writing styles dont feel smooth to me. but, the writing style and wording of exca makes alot of sense to me. the most disrupting thing when reading a vn, is if i struggle to understand what they say. with other vns i dont know how many times i have googled different words because they are so out there and unused i have never seen them before. but with exca, everything is easy to understand and follow.
the pacing of the vn is also great! it is a good mix of detail. story. action. i struggle alot with getting bored mid vn and skip ahead. but with exca, i dont do that. i read every line and it keeps my attention! the cute little details about the characters that give them life. this vn has a great pace to keep the attention of the reader without losing the attention or being too straight to the point.
( this little bit has some very small spoilers. nothing much but this is a big part of the review i couldnt leave some of this stuff out. )
the characters that dyne has created, feel like they are alive in a way. each character has their own particular details. desires. dreams. ambitions. feelings. and inner struggles. while other vns struggle to grasp that realness to a character, dyne gives that realness to them. like harolds writing. chesters game design. dozers plants. spencers want to become a professional tennis player. dwaynes painting.richards want to provide for his daughters. and darius with his acting career and piano. they have their own struggles and lives that draw you closer to them and give you a personal bond to each one of them.
the endings are all AMAZING for the main starting cast. as of right now, we currently have richard and dwayne whos routes just got started a little while ago. dwayne more recently. honestly, i love dwayne alot. at first i didnt like him. but his sheer puppy love and admiration for eric quickly won me over as he grew on me. the fact eric seems more dominant in this route intrigued me, the fact that no one really went after eric first. and it was only really eric approaching them. seeing eric being courted and shown such puppy love is amazing. dwayne is a little air headed but its honestly adorable. i can be airheaded myself so its relatable! its also interesting with eric taking initiative with dwayne sexually, seeing as eric isint really seen as a dom type. we see some of this in spencers route and maybe harolds once in a while, but honestly we dont see much of truely dom eric! so the thought of eric showing his more dominant side is new! and dwaynes reaction to him? absolutely LOVE it! and seeing dwayne as the bdsm type( at least i think seeing what may have been in that box, ) shows that ALL sorts of characters are in this vn! you have slow burn like darius but quick to sex. a lovestricken romantic like dwayne. harold who needs love and comfort to help fight his mental and emotional demons. all of them have their own pace and mix. this visual novel has bits of everything for their characters. richard is also a great character! given his route has just started and we dont have too much to go off of, he is really caring about his daughters and seems to want to help take care of eric and do things for him and help generally. richard is very playful and fun! hes not my favourite ( harold is tho ) but he is a great character and i look forward to seeing more of him!
not to mention the sex scenes are so beautifully spread out through the routes.
there are SO many great things about this vn that i cant put all into 1 comment. now this little bit is just something i feel personally doesint give that closure and relief we wanted. now, that does not mean that i am owed a good reaction. of course if dyne likes the way things are set up that is perfectly fine! everyone has a right to be happy with their work or how things go. no one is entitled to have someone else change their work because they arent satisfied with something. this is just one thing im sure has already been brought to attention. i have alot of faith in dyne as a creator.
while vernon being expelled and banned from campus WAS a punishment, it doesint sit right. given the fact that vernon has proven time and time again that he is willing to harm people further and worse with every punishment he got. the frat being disbanded got him to the courts and throwing the rock through erics window after stalking him to find his house, which was a homeless shelter. then once he got actually expelled, who knows what he will do to them now. possibly even going after andrew and injuring him somehow as he did to eric and chester. feeling as if there is no plan beyond just what was displayed in the route. maybe if andrew mentioned a court date or something at the end, and in the epilogue we get to see vernon excorted out by cops or something in an orange jumpsuit, would be perfect. taking the weight off the reader and the victims. while this bit may have been planned to be saved for the epilogue, without context for that being a possibility it feels like chester didnt get his due as a character. i hope that in the epilogue, vernon gets more then what he deserves. im hoping that is why things ended the way they did to give that big finish for the epilogue.
along with the small problem with the touch spots in the new scenes where you can click spots, they can be on the small side and hard to find sometimes
( spoilers over )
other then the slightly underwhelming ending for chester, everything about this visual novel is perfect to me. some may feel others are better and thats fine! but from my personal experience, this is the most fitting one for me. i dont struggle to understand or read it. the writing size. style. character personalitys. all fit so wonderfully. ive been a devoted reader for years. seeing this vn grow and expand and become as popular as it is now, makes me very happy. dyne is a very nice person from what little ive spoken to them. if you are looking for a visual novel to read, this is the one i recommend. i basically follow it religiously lol. give this vn a shot!
( PS THE PATREON IS SO WORTH IT I PROMISE ITS 2 UPDATES INSTEAD OF ONE PER MONTH )
The characters are really alive, real, and not only them, the whole world seems alive and realistic. Little details like Chester's horn tips make me really happy. It's smart, simple, but very effective in adding believability to the world.
The same applies to characters. Every little detail in them is so well written that you want to learn more and more, and every time you just fall in love with these characters more and more.
Everyone has their own story, their own negative and positive aspects of character, and all this creates a story that feels real. Like... it's not just saturated with idealization of relationships and romance, and also not going into the complete bleakness of the brutally real world, there is a great balance here. You fall in love and sometimes act stupid, you are happy and enjoy the time spent with friends and your loved one, but you also need to look for a job, study and do everyday things, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
... I guess this novel gives me hope that an ordinary, quiet life can be much more valuable than all sorts of crazy adventures and trying to achieve incredible goals. Hope such a life is possible.
So I also look forward to updates every month, it's like a lifeline!
I know that the route guides are patreon exclusive, but Dwayne has only 3 days of content and I have no idea how to get on his route. Like, I don't wanna know how to get the endings, I just want to know how to get on his route since he, unlike the others has an unclear path.
Is it possible for me (not a patreon supporter) to know how to get on his route?
There's just something about the love Spencer and Eric have that made my heart swell. When I first saw him, I knew that was the first route I wanted to go through and now that I finished it, I couldn't help but tear up. I wish it could just go on forever and I can keep reading and it makes it so hard to go through the other stories without seeing him and thinking about his love with Eric while trying to romance Darius. So much love for this and thank you so much for making such a beautiful novel. I hope to see so much more!
I've been playing this game for a few years now, and after finishing a few routes (a few times heh) I just wanted to say how amazing this game really is, from the art to the story. Thank you for making this masterpiece, I look forward to each update and can't wait to play the full game! Keep up the amazing work!
Second with you. Just wanna say that this game is part of my life now (and could be part of yours), something and somehow that could changes us to be our good self. It's been 6 years, from the earliest version until now. So amazing storyline and arts that illustrate a story. Bless you Dyne, and godspeed.
So, I've been thinking about the color of Dwayne's name.
He will have a color, right? He must have a color, heh
The first time I saw him, I thought about... green, cool shade of green, but then I remembered that we already have two green names. Then I thought about turquoise.
BUT! The last update got me thinking about... light yellow.
Like... banana? I guess heh
I think this color would suit him, it is light, optimistic, energetic and lively, positive and radiant.
Well, plus two points in favor of this color, it's directly Dwayne's underwear color and the fact that he likes bananas.
I suppose something of the shades of blue would probably not suit him? I'm not sure, it's all just my thoughts out loud, heh
But it would be interesting to hear someone else's opinion.
....
And what about the main character's name? Will he get a color, or is it better not to do it for the sake of neutrality? After all, in fact, everyone sees it in their own way, and color can interfere with this a little. On the other hand, letting him choose a color at the beginning sounds nice, but wouldn't that be too problematic in terms of reworking everything?
Hah, he did get his color during his last update! (I did go with a light yellow, kinda... banana cream color).
I never really considered giving the MC a color though! I wonder if I could give the player a choice there... kind personalize it a little more for them x3 It's something for me to think about!
Really? That's wonderful! We still don't know everything about Dwayne, but I think this color really suits him. And, not only because of the banana part, obviously, but it's just a nice bonus, in my opinion.
As for the name of the protagonist, well, it's still just a thought. That would be quite nice, yes, but if it's too much of a hassle while working on a novel, no one will be too upset if this option isn't there, heh... I hope.
I still think white fits anyway
All colors are in one, and everyone sees something of their own in the main character, while he himself remains, well, himself anyway.
So, to begin with, I would like to express my deep gratitude for creating such an incredible novel, which has become one of my favorites, it was with me in difficult times and in everyday life, and will forever remain in my heart, because I fell in love
I fell in love with the story, the music, the style of drawing, and most importantly, the characters, their lively characters and incredibly cute faces!
I could spend hours describing why each of them is so great and how I like them, and every time, in every route, it is a pleasure to see them.
I'm just so happy, I can't even describe it all, I'm overwhelmed with feelings!
I'm not the only one who starts clapping when the theme from the main menu plays, right? heh
So, yes, huge, just incredible size and power thanks!
...
O! These little pictures between each day deserve special mention. They are. Just. Damn. CUTE!
So much to love! I've been playing through the game for a couple days now and have played through Spencer and Richard. Two very well designed characters, compelling storytelling, great art, there's a lot to love and many details to appreciate. A top-tier visual novel in this category. Thank you, DyneWulf! This is a fantastic project and I can't wait for more.
I love the game. My favorites are my lion and dog boys. That being said, I know you said there would be 7 routes, but would you ever consider doing a poly route for Darius, Spencer amd Eric? Maybe if you got the best endings for both Darius and Spencer? Idk. If not still love the game and am looking forward for more!
Hey DyneWulf can you tell how how many different ending routes does those 5 characters have? im done with coach grifter and darius route and im not satisfied with their endings i took
Hii Can yall Help me i just download the game but open it and I wait about 2 hours the Main Menu Screen Didnt pop out and I restart the Game its still Like That btw Im using old android Phone

hm skipping is sometimes...uh fucks up ur character look
he lost so much weight thats not healthy
Hahaha, yes, skipping through can have some... odd results there.
I don't know if this is a me thing or a thing with the version I have (.136), but for some reason the expressions for all characters stop changing completely in day 11 of Chester's route onwards. Is there something I can do to fix this?
Uuuhh, there might be a portion of time between Day 11 and sometime later that I still haven't gone through to update facial expressions.
I believe it's days 11 through 13. On the sunday it went back to giving out the facial expressions when it made sense.
I started questioning when Coach's expression stayed in that pensive like one on the friday and when MC and Chester stayed neutral throughout it all.
Getting this error on Chester day 12:
While loading <'Image' u'BG_Con_Lobby.png'>:
IOError: Couldn't find file 'BG_Con_Lobby.png'.
I talk about this in the Dev log. It'll be fixed in the next update.
quick question about the game once the game is 100 percent completed will eventually itch.io get a free completed version after the completed version is on patreon or is paid for awhile? if not do you plan to stop updating the public build before the completed release? i ask this because I'm deciding if or not to go ahead pledge on patreon im kind of leaning towards pledging cuz i really like the story so far :)
The -final- version will be free to Patrons, and it will be purchasable on Itch. There will come a point where I stop updating the public version as well. The full routes will end up going into public updates (and maybe the epilogue) but any kind of 'Bonus' days I do will be Patreon only and part of the final version.
Then I will most definitely pledge on patreon cuz I'm really excited to see what types of storyline those bonus days will entail!
thank you for all your hard work! and I just gotta say the storyline is a masterpiece!
Are the epiloge gonna be patron only or will theu be available to everyone? I kinda wanna see the after story for each route
So I just finished Spencer's story I got the best ending possible. It was so heart felt and touching it actually made me cry at the end. So I thank you and everyone helping. Thank you so much.
Awww, well, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!
DyneWulf i love you! 🥰 platonic of couse... 😂
Haha, thank you!
Glad to hear it :D
LOVING THE GAME! Excellent work!

There's some info about this in the dev log. It'll be fixed in the following update~
Glad you're enjoying what you've played so far though!
Awesome! Can’t wait!
I was playing Dozers story at day 29 and the whole game completely errored out. I had a full error message on my screen and couldnt go any farther
There's some info about this in the dev log. It'll be fixed in the following update~
Sorry i didnt get a chance to read that lol. I was to download the update before I was off to work
I really want to play this game but the android version still does not work for me
The FAQ has some possible solutions to android troubles in it. Beyond those, I'm not sure what else could be done.
Dwayne is giving me HIMBO VIBES...love him to death tho!!! Keep up the good work and if you don't keep creating VN's after ECA Dyne...I will haunt you when I die! 🤣🤣🤣
I plan to make more for sure :) Dwayne absolutely gives those Himbo vibes too x3 It's great
will the epilogues start to be written only after the end of dwayne and richard's routes? Just curious
I'm starting on Coach's epilogue soon, actually.
Ooooh i'm excited! Thank you Dyne.
Does anyone know when the game will get more French translation?
It's hard to say, to be honest.
So I see the final product won't be free is it able to be preordered
Currently, no. I won't do anything like that until it gets closer to 100% completiion
Dang but thank you for telling m
in spencers the night sky but is low rez and the aspect ratio is bad i think its from a old Build
I keep forgetting to update that one.
how do i start Dwayne's route
choose to hang out with coach on day 2, it should be pretty obvious from there. Also don't practice with coach on day 1 for good measure, otherwise you might start Coach's route by accident
ok thanks
Hey this is a amazing game but I heard that Chester might be on the house of beef vn is that true???
Chester does make a cameo in the House of Beef, yes ;3
amazing hehe tbh ya really good at this ^^ keep safe aright
I love this! I'd just like to say, I was not expecting the emotional roller coaster I've been riding since I discovered this beautifully written and illustrated work of art. I've so far followed 4 paths and each time have been more surprised and amazed at the emotion and care thats been put into the characters and their interactions, the subtle details, the well placed music. I just finished Darius' path and have to say at this point his is my favourite, everything about his story is well done, so many highs and lows, the suspense, I can honestly say I was in tears at times, and laughing at others! Thank you so much for such an amazing work of art.
Aahhh, well, thank you! I'm glad to see you've enjoyed it all so much and that it could induce such emotions! Thank you for the kind words~
I just finished, like 10 minutes ago, Coach's path... and again I am an emotional mess, so SO many ups and downs, but so worth it, and such a sweet character, with a really nice finish there.
Also, as someone whos had brushes with the black dog in the past, I really appreciate the time and writing put into it, it allowed me to really relate and sympathise with his character and that of the player, for me it made it all the more satisfying when things turned around.
Also! Damn, I swear my heart stopped a moment at that one scene, I'm sure you know which one, waking up the morning after a rough day...
So again I say Sir, AMAZING job and super well written, so much thought and emotion poured into the characters, the music is spot on perfect for those moments, and the art is beautiful, I have enjoyed all the paths I've followed thus far, and I still say Darius has my favourite, but now it is very closely followed by Harold!
I look forward to everything else you do with this!
Is their a possibility that we can date Archibald in the future ??? I know the chances are kinda 0 because as far as i remember someone else ownes him (have the rights for him because its his character) but it would be so cool because he looks like a very intresting and mysteries character.
We will not be, but you can always check out See No Evil by CaptainGerBear to learn more about him.
I have to support what Dyne said. See No Evil by CaptainGerBear is a great game. It's puzzle focused but you definitely learn to love the characters in there.
Sooooooo..... when do we get to date Azaghal? :3
Never.
Unfortunately Azaghal character is belong to someone else thats why there wont be a route for him.....but I gotta admit hes so freaking hot!
question! im a 5$ patreon now and if im right, i believe the completed guides come with it? how do i access those? im sorry im kinda new to patreon and dont know what im doing really.
There's a pinned post on my Patreon page that has a link to all of the guides in it :)
Hey does anyone know if you can play this on a chromebook? I'd love to get this on there but I'm just curious if anyone else has.
I think I've seen mixed results with this. I've had someone people mention before that they couldn't, but I'd swear some people said they could x3
If your Chromebook is compatible with Android apps, you could install it that way. If it's compatible with Linux mode (which is more likely) you could too. However since both options are more technical you'll probably need to follow guides on the internet on how to sideload stuff into the Chromebook :)
Is it possible to see the old cgs? its really good actually hehe
They are not currently posted anywhere.
awww
Do you have a guide for the correct choices in routes?
Patreon reward, if I'm not mistaken
can you share it to me pls?
TBH, I forgot these were active still. Guides are for Patrons only now, so as of now, these links shouldn't work any longer.
ah alright! thank you :3 i was worried they just wiggled their way through without you knowing and got out and i accidentally found them
Is Richards story done?
no
this is kind of, a little review thing from what ive seen of this vn over the years!
extracurricular activities is a very great vn. alot of writing styles dont feel smooth to me. but, the writing style and wording of exca makes alot of sense to me. the most disrupting thing when reading a vn, is if i struggle to understand what they say. with other vns i dont know how many times i have googled different words because they are so out there and unused i have never seen them before. but with exca, everything is easy to understand and follow.
the pacing of the vn is also great! it is a good mix of detail. story. action. i struggle alot with getting bored mid vn and skip ahead. but with exca, i dont do that. i read every line and it keeps my attention! the cute little details about the characters that give them life. this vn has a great pace to keep the attention of the reader without losing the attention or being too straight to the point.
( this little bit has some very small spoilers. nothing much but this is a big part of the review i couldnt leave some of this stuff out. )
the characters that dyne has created, feel like they are alive in a way. each character has their own particular details. desires. dreams. ambitions. feelings. and inner struggles. while other vns struggle to grasp that realness to a character, dyne gives that realness to them. like harolds writing. chesters game design. dozers plants. spencers want to become a professional tennis player. dwaynes painting.richards want to provide for his daughters. and darius with his acting career and piano. they have their own struggles and lives that draw you closer to them and give you a personal bond to each one of them.
the endings are all AMAZING for the main starting cast. as of right now, we currently have richard and dwayne whos routes just got started a little while ago. dwayne more recently. honestly, i love dwayne alot. at first i didnt like him. but his sheer puppy love and admiration for eric quickly won me over as he grew on me. the fact eric seems more dominant in this route intrigued me, the fact that no one really went after eric first. and it was only really eric approaching them. seeing eric being courted and shown such puppy love is amazing. dwayne is a little air headed but its honestly adorable. i can be airheaded myself so its relatable! its also interesting with eric taking initiative with dwayne sexually, seeing as eric isint really seen as a dom type. we see some of this in spencers route and maybe harolds once in a while, but honestly we dont see much of truely dom eric! so the thought of eric showing his more dominant side is new! and dwaynes reaction to him? absolutely LOVE it! and seeing dwayne as the bdsm type( at least i think seeing what may have been in that box, ) shows that ALL sorts of characters are in this vn! you have slow burn like darius but quick to sex. a lovestricken romantic like dwayne. harold who needs love and comfort to help fight his mental and emotional demons. all of them have their own pace and mix. this visual novel has bits of everything for their characters. richard is also a great character! given his route has just started and we dont have too much to go off of, he is really caring about his daughters and seems to want to help take care of eric and do things for him and help generally. richard is very playful and fun! hes not my favourite ( harold is tho ) but he is a great character and i look forward to seeing more of him!
not to mention the sex scenes are so beautifully spread out through the routes.
there are SO many great things about this vn that i cant put all into 1 comment.
now this little bit is just something i feel personally doesint give that closure and relief we wanted. now, that does not mean that i am owed a good reaction. of course if dyne likes the way things are set up that is perfectly fine! everyone has a right to be happy with their work or how things go. no one is entitled to have someone else change their work because they arent satisfied with something. this is just one thing im sure has already been brought to attention. i have alot of faith in dyne as a creator.
while vernon being expelled and banned from campus WAS a punishment, it doesint sit right. given the fact that vernon has proven time and time again that he is willing to harm people further and worse with every punishment he got. the frat being disbanded got him to the courts and throwing the rock through erics window after stalking him to find his house, which was a homeless shelter. then once he got actually expelled, who knows what he will do to them now. possibly even going after andrew and injuring him somehow as he did to eric and chester. feeling as if there is no plan beyond just what was displayed in the route. maybe if andrew mentioned a court date or something at the end, and in the epilogue we get to see vernon excorted out by cops or something in an orange jumpsuit, would be perfect. taking the weight off the reader and the victims. while this bit may have been planned to be saved for the epilogue, without context for that being a possibility it feels like chester didnt get his due as a character. i hope that in the epilogue, vernon gets more then what he deserves. im hoping that is why things ended the way they did to give that big finish for the epilogue.
along with the small problem with the touch spots in the new scenes where you can click spots, they can be on the small side and hard to find sometimes
( spoilers over )
other then the slightly underwhelming ending for chester, everything about this visual novel is perfect to me. some may feel others are better and thats fine! but from my personal experience, this is the most fitting one for me. i dont struggle to understand or read it. the writing size. style. character personalitys. all fit so wonderfully. ive been a devoted reader for years. seeing this vn grow and expand and become as popular as it is now, makes me very happy. dyne is a very nice person from what little ive spoken to them. if you are looking for a visual novel to read, this is the one i recommend. i basically follow it religiously lol. give this vn a shot!
( PS THE PATREON IS SO WORTH IT I PROMISE ITS 2 UPDATES INSTEAD OF ONE PER MONTH )
Damn it's true!
The characters are really alive, real, and not only them, the whole world seems alive and realistic. Little details like Chester's horn tips make me really happy. It's smart, simple, but very effective in adding believability to the world.
The same applies to characters. Every little detail in them is so well written that you want to learn more and more, and every time you just fall in love with these characters more and more.
Everyone has their own story, their own negative and positive aspects of character, and all this creates a story that feels real. Like... it's not just saturated with idealization of relationships and romance, and also not going into the complete bleakness of the brutally real world, there is a great balance here. You fall in love and sometimes act stupid, you are happy and enjoy the time spent with friends and your loved one, but you also need to look for a job, study and do everyday things, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
... I guess this novel gives me hope that an ordinary, quiet life can be much more valuable than all sorts of crazy adventures and trying to achieve incredible goals. Hope such a life is possible.
So I also look forward to updates every month, it's like a lifeline!
I know that the route guides are patreon exclusive, but Dwayne has only 3 days of content and I have no idea how to get on his route. Like, I don't wanna know how to get the endings, I just want to know how to get on his route since he, unlike the others has an unclear path.
Is it possible for me (not a patreon supporter) to know how to get on his route?
Just hang out with Coach on Day 2. It'll lead to Dwayne.
Thanks a lot for the tip, it worked!
how can i see the images ?
I think you can see it if you pay for the Patreon version
By playing the routes? If you mean the image gallery, that's Patreon only for $10+ Patrons.
There's just something about the love Spencer and Eric have that made my heart swell. When I first saw him, I knew that was the first route I wanted to go through and now that I finished it, I couldn't help but tear up. I wish it could just go on forever and I can keep reading and it makes it so hard to go through the other stories without seeing him and thinking about his love with Eric while trying to romance Darius. So much love for this and thank you so much for making such a beautiful novel. I hope to see so much more!
Aww, well thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much =3
I've been playing this game for a few years now, and after finishing a few routes (a few times heh) I just wanted to say how amazing this game really is, from the art to the story. Thank you for making this masterpiece, I look forward to each update and can't wait to play the full game! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for sticking around for so long! I'm happy to know that you've liked it!
Second with you. Just wanna say that this game is part of my life now (and could be part of yours), something and somehow that could changes us to be our good self. It's been 6 years, from the earliest version until now. So amazing storyline and arts that illustrate a story. Bless you Dyne, and godspeed.
So, I've been thinking about the color of Dwayne's name.
He will have a color, right? He must have a color, heh
The first time I saw him, I thought about... green, cool shade of green, but then I remembered that we already have two green names. Then I thought about turquoise.
BUT! The last update got me thinking about... light yellow.
Like... banana? I guess heh
I think this color would suit him, it is light, optimistic, energetic and lively, positive and radiant.
Well, plus two points in favor of this color, it's directly Dwayne's underwear color and the fact that he likes bananas.
I suppose something of the shades of blue would probably not suit him? I'm not sure, it's all just my thoughts out loud, heh
But it would be interesting to hear someone else's opinion.
....
And what about the main character's name? Will he get a color, or is it better not to do it for the sake of neutrality? After all, in fact, everyone sees it in their own way, and color can interfere with this a little. On the other hand, letting him choose a color at the beginning sounds nice, but wouldn't that be too problematic in terms of reworking everything?
Hmm... maybe light blue?
But this, again, is all just thinking out loud!
Hah, he did get his color during his last update! (I did go with a light yellow, kinda... banana cream color).
I never really considered giving the MC a color though! I wonder if I could give the player a choice there... kind personalize it a little more for them x3 It's something for me to think about!
Well, maybe you could go with a favorite color question, like how that's a question in Harold's route?
Really? That's wonderful! We still don't know everything about Dwayne, but I think this color really suits him. And, not only because of the banana part, obviously, but it's just a nice bonus, in my opinion.
As for the name of the protagonist, well, it's still just a thought. That would be quite nice, yes, but if it's too much of a hassle while working on a novel, no one will be too upset if this option isn't there, heh... I hope.
I still think white fits anyway
All colors are in one, and everyone sees something of their own in the main character, while he himself remains, well, himself anyway.
So, to begin with, I would like to express my deep gratitude for creating such an incredible novel, which has become one of my favorites, it was with me in difficult times and in everyday life, and will forever remain in my heart, because I fell in love
I fell in love with the story, the music, the style of drawing, and most importantly, the characters, their lively characters and incredibly cute faces!
I could spend hours describing why each of them is so great and how I like them, and every time, in every route, it is a pleasure to see them.
I'm just so happy, I can't even describe it all, I'm overwhelmed with feelings!
I'm not the only one who starts clapping when the theme from the main menu plays, right? heh
So, yes, huge, just incredible size and power thanks!
...
O! These little pictures between each day deserve special mention. They are. Just. Damn. CUTE!
I'm having the same issue as Nanjeunkim, I'm playing the android version but it does not pass from the renpy loading screen
I had that same issue I closed it and opened it back up but it also started to heat my phone up bad
So much to love! I've been playing through the game for a couple days now and have played through Spencer and Richard. Two very well designed characters, compelling storytelling, great art, there's a lot to love and many details to appreciate. A top-tier visual novel in this category. Thank you, DyneWulf! This is a fantastic project and I can't wait for more.
Hi DyneWulf.
I love the game. My favorites are my lion and dog boys. That being said, I know you said there would be 7 routes, but would you ever consider doing a poly route for Darius, Spencer amd Eric? Maybe if you got the best endings for both Darius and Spencer? Idk. If not still love the game and am looking forward for more!
