I just wanted to mention that my friend red this story and he said the most unrealistic thing in this comic where a furry wolf named Boomer was married to a woman named Karen is that the bottom cums first.

Hey I see you released the game on Steam! I think your steam page could look a little better. Here's a good free guide on making a good steam page: https://www.progamemarketing.com/p/howtomakeasteampage. I also think your tags could use a little work. "Casual" and "Visual Novels" aren't tags that you should prioritize. "Sexual Content" and "LGBTQ+" are more important for your game. Make sure you put in as many tags as possible.

Then delete all versions of the game you have on your computer, make sure to keep your saves, and then redownload the game

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the story as much as you did!

If you're on Android, try deleting the game and redownloading it.

what version are you on? It should say on the about screen in the extras menu

Hello boys, girls, and non-binaries. I decided to switch the game page to comments. It was extremely rare for anyone to make a thread or post in any of the boards. If you want me to switch back to the boards to recover any messages you made there, feel free to tell me.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed the update! I think fishnets are hot but not everyone is into them. And yeah, Kamil needs to be taught a lesson (the sexy and reassuring kind :D). The last scene depends on how far you want to go with Kamil. I'm certain you'll enjoy what sexy things we have in store with Kamil.

thanks <3

The People in Rannai: Gee, I hope nothing supernatural happens anytime soon.

From what I've seen this is definitely going to be an FVN worth reading. Lots of good art and quality writing.

I sent you an email, let me know if you have received it.

Ah dang he's a top when he's got his butt sticking out like that? That's unfair but I'll accept this inequality for the time being.

Low key though I'd just download this game just to have the truck running in the background of whatever I'm doing lmao.

Hey guys. Decided to do a response to the survey I made like a month ago. I got 102 responses. Since I don't want to notify my followers I'm posting it here in the forums. You can look at the results here. 

Anyways, let's get right to it. I'll knock the first three questions quick: most people found this game through itch.io although one person did say they found it through my blog about Dom Top MCs which is nice. Most people weren't patrons which is expected. And half of the people taking the survey have read at least one of my other VNs which is good. The other half has a mostly 3 to 2 split in people who have heard about them and people who haven't.

Then we have why people downloaded the game. A lot of people said it was because of Brendan and the art, some mentioned the other love interests, some said they thought the story sounded interesting, and a few mentioned they were fans of mine before By Your Hands. One person also mentioned that Minotaur Workshop recommended the game to them. A couple mentioned they were interested in the game because a few of the LI were sub bottoms so that might be a point for being upfront about the sexual positions of the LI.

What people said they expected the game to be like can be split into three rough categories: slice of life, murder mystery, and erotica. A few mentioned that the game wasn't as they expected, which was mostly for the better.

For the VNs people had previously played, there were 27 people who mentioned Extracurricular Activities, 12 people who mentioned Lustful Desires, 11 people who mentioned Tennis Ace, 11 people who mentioned Killigan's Treasure, 9 people who mentioned After Class, 6 people who mentioned Shelter, 5 people who mentioned Minotaur Hotel, 5 people who mentioned Dawn Chorus, 4 people who mentioned Adastra, and 3 people who mentioned Burrows. I'm not going to list out every VN mentioned, if you want the full list just go read the results, but I'm just naming these VNs because I find it interesting what names pop up more and which ones don't appear at all. Keep in mind that the question was "what were the last three VNs you played before playing this?" so finished games like Echo, Arches, and Adastra and VNs that haven't had a recent update were less likely to appear here since people who have read them were more likely to read them a while ago and not in the last month or so.

For favorite VN, we got 19 people saying Extracurricular Activities, 6 people saying Minotaur Hotel, 6 people saying Adastra, 5 people saying Lustful Desires, 4 people saying Socially Awkward, 4 people saying Tennis Ace, 3 people saying Sileo, 3 people saying Remember the Flowers, and 3 people saying Shelter. Also 7 people said that By Your Hands was their favorite so thank you guys! Weirdly enough, only one person mentioned Killigan's Treasure despite it being a commonly mentioned VN in the previous question. But yeah, there are a lot of Extracurricular Activities fans who enjoy By Your Hands. I can see why, (it's a college based FVN with a focus on romance and buff men) but it's very apparent. If I could get a cross promotion with DyneWulf that would be excellent but I don't know him very well and I'm much less known than him. I could make more deep analysis to get a better grip on my audience, but I'm frankly not that intelligent. For who's following what, it's pretty expected. A lot of people said Mino Workshop, DyneWulf, and Hyao.

People generally liked the VN with more people saying they loved it than people liking it. No one put in 1s or 2s which makes sense considering they're putting time into making a survey about the VN.

With a majority vote, Brendan dominates the character poll with second place, Kamil, having less than half the number of votes. He is the only LI who has his Act 1 completed so it only makes sense. I already said my piece on why Brendan is so popular. I can only imagine how the results will change when the other LI get their routes updated. Owen is also slightly more popular than Connor this time. Previously Owen had less votes than Connor. His presence in Brendan's route certainly helped things. I don't really have much to say about the reasons. Most of them were basically "they were cute/hot and nice". Some people did mention the submissiveness of Brendan (and occasionally Kamil) though, which was notable to me.

Most people had Brendan as their first route and only four people didn't do his route. Only a third of people did Vlad's route and over half of people did the rest of the routes. To be fair, Brendan's route was the only one updated past Day 2 outside of Patreon when this survey was posted.

Day 6 basically only improves people's opinions on Brendan while over 75% of people like Cameron, so that's good. Most people say that Rex is a mix of a defined character and a blank slate which I find interesting. Most people who did Brendan's route did the horny options and around half did the less horny options, so good to know where my audience stands.

Pretty much everything else is free form responses and I don't really have much input on them. I do appreciate the kind words and the high interest in this project. I will listen to all the feedback I received here and I had fun reading the theories you guys came up with. That's all from me. Hope you have a good day and see you later!

Uh I don't have anything clever to say, I'm just excited!

No problem!

Glad you enjoyed it! I currently have no plans to continue the story or do any what ifs.

Kamil's a karkadann. So you're saying that Rex should tell how he feels about Kamil sooner rather than later? Give it time.

Oh I see. Thanks for informing me.

I'm glad you liked the story and characters! Unfortunately, their story has come to an end, but maybe one day I'll revisit these two. And I hope any character I create is at least as sexy and wonderful as they are.

Am I lucky or am I just good at puzzle games? I got this on my third try or fourth try.

I was going to tell you to post in the memes thread but there was no memes thread so I went ahead and created one.

You can post similar posts here.

Post any meme or shitpost related to BYH here. 

Aight, if you say so.

Hmmmm, it wasn't intentional, I picked the species of the team members for other specific reasons, but if we ignore Kamil for a second:

Wolf - Common LI species

Tiger - Common LI species

Lion - Common LI species

Dragon - Common LI species

Yak - Not Common but bulls are fairly common species for LI

Shark - Uncommon LI species but I see them in a decent amount of VNs (Burrows, Killigan's Treasure, Sileo)

Komodo Dragon - Uncommon LI species but I can name a few (Dozer from Extracurricular Activities, maybe Sal from Password)

Konrul - I'm 99% this is the only FVN who has a konrul but his upper half looks like a domestic dog which is a common LI species

Griffon - Even if we include eagles, the only other character who has the same species is Luke from Minotaur Hotel, who's not datable

Panda Bear - I can only think of the panda from Santa Lucia. If we include all types of bears, then yes he would be a common LI species.

So out of 10, we have 4 who are common LI species, 2 who are subspecies of common LI species, 1 that's not common at all but looks like a common LI species, 2 uncommon LI species, and 1 who's a species I haven't seen a LI share. Not sure how much that counts for what it's worth.
