i have a quick question and i dont remember if i have asked it already. but you said that the next chapter is going to be in the prospective of the other member(s) of the group, but is it going to be a little bit of time from the prospective of everyone or only from the prospective of the character with which mc has the most romance with?
Oh, I absolutely LOVE this!!! I find myself skimming over text in a lot of IFs, but I read every single word in this. Everything is written so well, the characters are all charming, and the plot is just phenomenal! Can't wait for the next update :}
I hope I can get the update out at least this year... Right now the horse-names keep getting in the way >_> (I'm not kidding, the code to check your horse's name for achievements and flavortext reasons is by now nearly 15k of code... the chapters are usually around 25k words with code)
Oh wow, I don't know much about Twine coding but that sounds...intense lol. Remember not to stress yourself out too much, though, and take the time that you need! :))
Just found this and I love it! I can't wait for the next chapter btw that cliffhanger is illegal! I can't wait to meet everyone else especially Preacher. Like im so invested in this story now
:D I'll do my best to update. Life got in the way quite a bit, but things are going somewhere. And a heads-up: The next update will see an overhaul of the UI (switching from Twine's harlowe language to Twine sugarcube, because better menu and more save-slots), so you'll have to replay from the start. But it will be a prettier (ymmw though) layout, and more name-shenanigans... <3
lol that how life is sadly lol. But I hope everything is going good for you and everything and if I have to replay it, I'm so down for it. So, I will be looking forward to it :)
This is the most intriguing and fun text game/story I've ever played, hands down. The way your MC can be transgender and how it's actually brought up in gameplay was so good I don't even have the words to praise it, same goes with their heritage/ethnicity. And I spent the entire game not realizing romance was an option and was just wistfully pining for Charlie the entire time; the joy I felt when I got to the part where you could actually start a romance with him was unmatched. I was over the freaking MOON.
I'm so excited for more of this story, thank you for sharing it and I am thoroughly hooked.
Don't worry, that is a cliffhanger. Next chapter will be a non-interactive one from the Pov of one of three ROs as they set out to rescue MC. I just need to fight off the writer's block Dx
you can. as of now (ch6 in the playable version) lynwood, charlie, tommy and seán (only together), and mrs meadows are romancable, with four more ROs to come down the line. maybe 5 if i find a reasonable way to have a potential character in the story.
though i didnt ask if it is possible as a trans woman, becouse i didnt specify. so, is it possible even(?) then?(english is not my first language, not iven(?) the second, so if i make a grammatical mistake please correct me)
:D also, note: with the next update I'm switching to a different coding language on twine, so you'll have to replay from the start ^^; But it looks nicer (and has more saveslots)
It's still being worked on. (Had quite a massive burnout due to irl stuff, so, there's the culprit). Currently porting the version here from Twine Harlowe to Sugarcube, making it look better :) I hope to get a major update out by june/july (aiming for national cowboy day)
I do have a discord, but due to certain things happening, I usually just give the link to people that follow the dev blog on tumblr for a while. (once bitten, twice shy)
I love what’s happening with the plot, and the characters are very well thought and fleshed out! I honestly was a little bit put off by the accent (it’s ironic considering I’m Southern and locals speak exactly like it), but it grew on me.
I’m curious though, what’re the romance options available in the content currently uploaded? I seem to have accidentally stumbled upon Charlie’s (unless that was prompted). Am I just blind and somehow missed the chance to flirt with every character we’ve met so far?
As of now you can 'only' flirt/get together with Charlie, as you already know each other well. With the others it will take a while longer, as you've just met them and at best know them by reputation.
I'm so in love with this story so far. It's beautifully written. All the characters have such unique personalities and great backstories. Also the option to fully customize MC and their backstory is the best. I can't wait for more.
And btw will the characters get jealous if you romance more than one at the same time? (Not including Tommy and Sean with each other )
And no, they won't. Not in the 'you can romance everyone' way, but in the, the others catch on quickly and are a little suspect when you go flirt with them
Oh I love this ever so much. I am trying incredibly hard to seduce Lynwood (and save everyone at the same time), and hope that will be an option in the future, but did also adore the Charlie options. He's so sweet. They're all so sweet. I love all of them and would kill and die for them. That's a threat. Fantastic work!

Hi. The next chapter will be from the perspective of one of three characters. It's also an optional chapter :3
(Btw: it's best to ask questions like this on the development blog on tumblr too, for more people to see, in case they wondered the same)
🙋yes Captain!

<3 thank you
happy new year pals, lads and gals!
<3 same to you.
How are y'all not dying in that ambush? I keep playing it a million different ways and still die :,,,,,,,,,(
oh wait am i dumb is that the cliffhanger i thought i was just a loser
Don't worry, that is a cliffhanger. Next chapter will be a non-interactive one from the Pov of one of three ROs as they set out to rescue MC. I just need to fight off the writer's block Dx
PS: Also, if this helps a bit more: Every pre-mature ending comes with an achievement
<3 :3
Mx. MeltingPenguins, please tell me i can romance agent Lynwood. please?
you can. as of now (ch6 in the playable version) lynwood, charlie, tommy and seán (only together), and mrs meadows are romancable, with four more ROs to come down the line. maybe 5 if i find a reasonable way to have a potential character in the story.
Fantastico. I'm going to bully him into loving me with kindness.
though i didnt ask if it is possible as a trans woman, becouse i didnt specify. so, is it possible even(?) then?(english is not my first language, not iven(?) the second, so if i make a grammatical mistake please correct me)
very nice :3
Ok wow, this is really good! Can't wait for more!!!
Hopefully soon. I'm currently stuck coding hijinks with the names...
and nuuuu you can't leave me hanging like that in the alleyway with one big dude and a short guy like that
but I Love it ^^
heh. well, not to disappoint you, but they're not interested in you in any way you might like
i was so into the game that cliff hanger hit hard lol but it was amazing work
thank you. Next chapter, (mild spoiler) won't have any choices, as you'll play as one of three ROs... (because your MC is out cold)
i cant wait for more chapters yayz ^^
:D also, note: with the next update I'm switching to a different coding language on twine, so you'll have to replay from the start ^^; But it looks nicer (and has more saveslots)

~Oh, Just One More Thing?~
gratz :D Hope you enjoyed it so far.
Is this game still being working on?
Its so good it would be shame if wasnt
Also i played on dashingdon i dont know if its the same version because it says that the last update was in 21 so .....
It's still being worked on. (Had quite a massive burnout due to irl stuff, so, there's the culprit). Currently porting the version here from Twine Harlowe to Sugarcube, making it look better :) I hope to get a major update out by june/july (aiming for national cowboy day)
Alright i will wait
Oh one more thing do you have discord?
If yes can you the link here pls
I do have a discord, but due to certain things happening, I usually just give the link to people that follow the dev blog on tumblr for a while. (once bitten, twice shy)
bro i love charlie to much for my own good :))
also i wanted to know if there is anyone that charlie looks like so that i can imagine him
He's got an image over on the development blog. It's in the linked post when you click on his name :)
I love what’s happening with the plot, and the characters are very well thought and fleshed out! I honestly was a little bit put off by the accent (it’s ironic considering I’m Southern and locals speak exactly like it), but it grew on me.

thank you :D and yes, Lynwood is a possible romantic option down the line
