Np. Thank you so much for reading and replying =D. I'm gonna play more this week =D

Hey Meyaoi, thanks for the reply. I do understand. I hope I didn't offend you. I think this game is really good, it's just the map movement and leveling was a bit of a put off for me. I admit this is likely me. I'm not the best with rpg's honestly, though I do enjoy them. I didn't know WASD could be used or the shift, so I'll try this. I think I just need to be better with the system and not get too arrogant when fighting. But I also understand the limits. In terms of combat, it's just fine. Also, it may be my computer maybe? Sometimes this happens. 

As for the leveling system, I think all you have to do is maybe give a hint that the players need to do Haves side quest. Like maybe he says something is passing. I only knew cause I manage to find your faq. Doing this means you don't have to change anything and it'll be up to the player to manage their time. I think this way it'll solve it. I think my problem was if I didn't read your faq, I wouldn't know how to level up. I think a hint is a good way so you don't have to add any more code. 

Anyway, thanks so much for the reply. I'll try again with the game today because I really want to play. Everything is else is great and the combat itself is good (i love turn based). Thank you for all your hard =). 

So I waited to play this game till some routes came out and was really happy to see Finn done. Sadly, I find it very hard for me to want to progress with this game despite me liking a lot about it. Of course, you don't need to take my advice and I know others likely aren't having these problems, but I can't see myself playing this game due to one big important factor: the battle gameplay. 

First off, let me just say that the battle system is fine. It's easy to get and not frustrating. What is though is the whole movement on the map. It's not fun and is buggy. I find it hard to move Ban on the map as he either won't move quick enough to avoid monsters or he gets struck on the background scenery. 

The next big thing is the whole way Ban will level up. I don't think it's good to have it that he can only level up when after completing a certain side quest. I don't know if we're suppose to wait till going out or not, but it's a weird mechanic to have because it seems like the game wants you to adventure to some degree early in the game. Honestly I feel like having his stats level up when he wins a battle or when getting up courage would be the best way for this. 

It's because of this system that I find it hard to want to keep going because I know the rpg element plays a big part in the game from saving the farm to getting items. If we're not meant to do it so soon, I suppose i can get that, but needing to do a certain request to level up just doesn't sit well with me, especially since we have to level up a certain skill which can move slowly. What also makes this worse is that there's not hint to this system, and depending on how one plays, they may take a long time before seeing Ban get stronger. 

If I'm wrong about something or how the system works, I am sorry.  I do think though that Ban's movement on the field has to be tweaked a bit because it's not fun...

Still, besides this, I do enjoy the game and want to play more. I just find it hard to get into the rpg part....I hope i can play it down the line. 

Hey guys, I brought the patch and put the files in the correct places (I have a mac), but was wondering how do I know if it worked?

Ah it's okay. I do like the cg's. I did realize that time was pressed, and NaNo is super hard to finish the game. As for the extra characters, they did fit in a way. You picked good art to match the main game =).

As for Izumi, it was when he mentions his family, but then tries to not talk  more about them. He says how he doesn't always get along with them either, and that got me thinking. . It was sometime in the common route, and was the first time he talks about them. I just had a feeling. Also, him having that expensive apartment really nailed it for me. It's not bad though. I did enjoy his route =). I've just read a lot, so sometimes I'm able to guess where the story may go. As for Souma, I still liked his route. Did you guys just really like Izumi? That can happen when writing characters, we love them so much that we just wanna write more =D. 

And np! It was a fun game. I really enjoyed it.  

Hey Sayumi, I just got done with this game and I must say it was quite a treat. First off, I love how it was a BxB romance (not enough of those sadly), and enjoyed the story for the most part. It was a nice and fun read for me, and I finished it within a couple of days. You guys worked really hard on this game, and I can tell. It's actually quite long too, which I liked.  Thanks so sharing this game. It was a treat for me. 

Anyway, just a few thoughts. I'll start with the story and characters. Overall I liked everyone, from the two best friends and then to the love interests. I loved both guys honestly, but choosing who is my favorite is hard. I'd say Souma was the main route, since he got two CG's, and I liked his story. However for him, I don't know why, his route felt a tad rushed. Not sure why. I still enjoyed his route quite a bit though and liked his character a lot. I'll admit, Izumi is my favorite of the pair not only for his style but also his story and personality. I admit I knew who he was soon, but only cause I read into a certain thing he said about his family. Anyway, his story felt the most complete to me and he was really cute. I kind wish I could see more of his serious side. I do hate his grandad though, but that's likely what was meant. Rei and Mei were great too, though Rei was my fav of the pair. Also, I really like the main character too. One thing that was a bit out of nowhere was the ending in which Yuki attacks someone. It was just so strange. 

As for the art, I enjoyed it overall. I am wondering, for the extra characters was it a different artist? As for the CG's they are simple, but cute at the same time especially in Souma's route. Also, I love the backgrounds in this as well. Give off that countryside feeling. Music was great too. 

Overall this was a great game. A little choppy at points in story, but nothing too much. I'd love to play more from you guys down the line and will even likely replay this when I can. Good job with everything! And thanks for what you've shared with us =). 

Ah sorry, yeah, that's what I meant lol. I'm really glad they will =D

Np! With what's going on, it's best not to do one right now honestly. But when you do, I'll back it.  And cool, I thought it would likely get fixed. On thing, will you have sub sprites for characters Nat?

Just finished the game. I must say, the demo was quite amazing. I'll start with the writing and say that's it's very well done. The characters, even though we only see them for a short time, feel real and interesting. I didn't see any spelling errors either. I really like how this game is in first person as well. For some reason I just prefer that in visual novels. I also like Paul's voice, which is  important when reading in first person. I'll say it's hard for me to decide who I like most, but I do enjoy Paul, Emile, and Ferdinand.. 

Next the art. The art is something that's quite special for with this game, though I'm not sure why. First off, I love the scenery. It looks like 1950's France and feels calming. During the stressful times everyone's going through, it's nice to have things that have calming scenery. The background are also very detailed and colorful. I love the flower shop and river bank the most. I'm excited to see more of the backgrounds. Also, the touch of painted parts is cool too. The character sprites are also nice. I admit it took me a bit to get use to them, but I realized how more real the look and the guys are quite handsome. Also many of the expressions on them look good, a bit simple but done well. One gripe I do have is the sprites seemed to be a bit a blurry? I'm not sure if it's because I had it in full screen or not, but the resolution may need to be fixed on them. Also, maybe make them a bit bigger. It could just be me though. 

Also, I noticed a small bug in the game. The brush icon that ends after a sentence sometimes goes right in the middle of a word. I'm not sure if this is fixed yet, but just wanted to let you know in case. 

Anyway, this game looks really amazing. I'm really interested in seeing where it goes and what stories you're gonna tell. During these times, I honestly need a game like this and with the big emphasis on creative hobbies, the story really intrigues me. Should you do a KS, I will back it. 

Sorry for the late response. I'm not on here much. But it's good you're doing that. I am excited to see the romance part of this game. With yaoi, I really love romance, though it doesn't have to be the main part. Anyway, good luck with everything =D. I'll keep up with the updates 

I want him to honestly (more than the wolf). But sadly, it doesn't look like we'll get him. I do like the wolf though, but Howl is the type I'd love to see in the story. We'll likely get the wolf (about 50/50). Maybe tomorrow Meyaoi will show that we got both? I don't think we did though, at least now Howl =(

Oh, I'll follow. And I know what you mean. It took me a good couple of months just to do 200. But it's possible. It's good thought to focus on the game though. I'll follow here mainly since it's most active. 

And that is true. Sadly, it's also true for non omegaverse stories. I read a lot of yaoi, and some stories have rape and handle it terrible. Some are super popular too, and play it off as sexy or a joke. I don't get why people like it honestly. And they do often get mad when others don't like it lol. But it's good your story won't have that with the love interests or if it does, it seems like you'll handle it in a different way. I've read it already and the writing is good, along with the art. Art style is super unique as well. This is always good for a visual novels lol. 

As for me, I do like dark settings, so that is fine. This will be a fun read. Thanks again and good luck with progression =)

Yeah, Discord would be a good place should you want activity from others. If not it's fine. And yeah, many due.  I do think you guys should make a twitter and get your game more known. But it's up to you. I would follow. 

And with rape, I mean like the main character gets rape and then either blames himself for it or forgives the semi's character easily. Basically the semi character does little to nothing to ask for forgiveness. For me, saying I'm sorry doesn't cut it. And what makes it worse is when the uke still loves him and goes back to him with ease. I do know rape is a bit of thing in Omegaverse stories.  What I'm worried about for this game is if the main character gets raped by a love interest. Not really if it's a sub character. I'm a bit more forgiving compared to some others, but that's why I'm a bit wary to play =(. 

And it's okay. I have a windows for games, but was just wondering. I'll get it when I can =)

Hey  Aedlian,  I saw your game on lemmesoft. I'm sorry not one has commented, but truth be told Lemmesoft is sadly not as active as it used to be. I think many have flocked to discord in terms of visual novel games. Anyway, I was surprised by this game and how you are doing Omegaverse. I myself have read a good amount of Omegaverse stories, so I know a decent bit about it. One of the big put offs (for me at least) is how rape can be handled. I don't know if this story has it, but if it does, I was wondering how would it be handled? Don't get me wrong, I'm not super uptight, but the subject is wary for me. I do think the game looks great and want to try it. Having a Omegaverse story told in visual novel format is amazing to me. I know some may be put off by it, but I think it looks really good. I also did want to ask, will it come out for Mac?

So I read your review and it got me thinking on a few things about the the game. 

In terms of the bugs, I myself have actually not experienced any and I’ve played twice, nearly done with my second play through. Nor have I seen any game errors. However, I haven’t done every little bit of the game and haven’t finished it yet. I know there are bugs though and likely a good number, but many have been fixed. I do agree that when putting out a game, especially when selling it, that it’s good to try to catch the bugs. However, I will say that for a game like this, it’s not easy catching every bug and it is there first game. I do think you’re being a bit too harsh in terms of this part. The game is very playable, especially now and it’s silly for one thinking that their would be no bugs in a dating sim game created by a newbie developer. It’s clear the creator is fixing them and that’s good. I’ve seen things like EA and other creators who don’t care if their are bugs or do little about them, so we should be a bit more grateful that she’s fixing them, even if it takes time. As for the patches, I’m not sure you can do them on itch.io, but don’t take my word on that. Yes, it sucks to lose progress. I think that needs to be fixed. And please understand, I do want the bugs to be fixed and prefer a game with little to no amount of bugs, but I’m understanding that this is the creators first game. A

Art- It’s funny. I’ve seen some really dislike the chibi art, others love it. Like you, I like the chibi art even during the sex scenes. And yeah, I too really like the art. I am confused why you think they are too naked? I admit, I do not understand that part. 

Voice acting-I admit, I haven’t listened to any of the voice acting. Not that it’s bad, but for some reason I prefer reading it on my own with no voices. I do the same with Camp Buddy. Good to see it’s done well. I’ll say, cause even if you turn off the voice acting you can still hear the moaning when they have sex, is done well. So yeah, maybe it time I give it shot. I just like having my own idea of what they would sound like. 

Plot-I’m at half bag with this. I cannot give a full review yet, but I’ve played enough to know what  you’re saying. You are right. This is not a plot heavy game. It’s more of fluff, with maybe slight drama depending on who you are played. But yeah, it’s not plot heavy. And I admit, like you I would’ve preferred some more scenes diving into the characters and mc and more plot. However, this game wasn’t made to be a plot heavy game. Would it have been better if it was? Honestly, it depends on the player. Many like fluffy and cute games or need a break from drama. I feel like the game did well when it game with just making a simple slice of life and funny game with romantic elements. I also find the romance okay. I did believe, for the most part, that the pair (whoever you choose) cared for each other. I did like the filler scenes as well. However, I’m gonna guess this game isn’t for you, because you seem to want a more plot heavy game. Problem is, this isn’t that, so I’m sure I can agree with you on that plot. Yeah, the story has issues and isn’t perfect, but isn’t bad and is good for someone wanting a light hearted game. I feel like you have to take that into account. 

Playability-I do agree with you on Playability. I’m playing again and not even using cheats, and the only thing I’m wanting is to do the route. Not much else to do, but I’m still not bored, so that’s a good sign. I do feel like we needed more NPC or moments focusing on other characters. Like you, I also wish the phone and computer did more. I was a bit sad about that…It would’ve been fun to text. I guess for me, I’m mixed with Playability. For me, I just want the route and don’t mind if certain things are the same, but I understand those who are upset about. However, please know their are those that like a simple dating sim. Backstage Pass, just is kind of boring to me though. And note, the more focus on stats and NPC scenes, the less focus on the guys. And this had decent focus on the guys. Honestly though, it depends on whose playing. 

So, while I agree with some of these points, some people prefer a game that focuses on the love interests. From what I’ve seen, people aren’t too disliking of the dating sim part. It’s fine is their is a single goal. I don’t think games should have to be the same either…But again, it depends on preference. 

As for customization I do agree. It wasn’t there. I’m fine not chasing much of the mc appearance, but I wish we had more furniture and clothes and having the mc actually wearing the clothes. And maybe more to do with the furniture? I do agree with this and feel like this part could’ve been very fun if done better. 

Replayability- I have a simple answer for this. Don’t use the cheat. Yeah, I’m not planning on cheating either. It will make the game worse for you. Like you’ve said, this game is not meant to be played in one long play through. I admit, I’ve taken my time and sometimes need a break. I would love Replayability though and wish they had it.However, sine we don’t, I’m gonna say don’t cheat. Doesn’t do anything much except make things easier. And honestly, the player should buy the guide if they want an easier game play. And again, this goes with the playability part about how some games focus on the routes even if it’s a dating sim. It doesn’t hold up depending on who the player is. The gameplay wasn’t for you it seems, but I promise you others don’t mind. Again though, depending on the player. 

And honestly, it’s a bit depressing you won’t recommend this game. If you think about it, just how many yaoi games are there? Not many. This game isn’t bad and honestly, the stuff you mentioned depends on preference. I wish you’d say something like ‘this game would be good for those or bad for those’ instead of just saying you would recommend. Yaoi games are hard to come buy and you’re making it even more difficult doing like this. And no, I’m not saying recommend bad games, but this isn’t bad. I’ve played much worse games. But I will say, it’s good you still have faith in the developer. And I do understand why you may be disappointed. Maybe for you, a good game would be Camp Buddy. Or one of the other yaoi KS games. Sadly, those aren’t out yet.
