I do plan on contacting Jimmy to add more expressions once the wait period is over. They were originally going to be in the jam version but there was like... four or five days left, so it was unrealistic to have Jimmy smash those out while also finishing work on Nepenthes.
The Bygones was an idea that was stewing in my mind for a bit, so I'm happy you liked how it turned out!
The Bygones wasn't written just for musicians, but there's a possibility that in my musician mindset, I included too many terms that weren't friendly for non-musicians. I know some stuff like Rickenbacker and pentatonic scale especially would fly over people's heads now.
As for the song lyrics part... that scene was coded in two hours as well as two hours before the jam ended. It was never going to be perfect unfortunately, though I plan on touching the timing up a bit when the wait period is over.
I knew the ending would be controversial. Reception has been mixed on that part; some really like it, some hate it. I plan on expanding that scene a bit more in an update since I didn't get everything I wanted in it out there (ex. the jam version didn't conclude Ashley's and Pat's stories properly).
I hope you'll give it another chance when I update it, but I understand if you won't!
Hey, this is Brick, one of the administrators for May Wolf 2025! We recommend making an Android build for your game since it can reach more people. If you need help making an Android build, please DM me your Discord so I can pull you into the development channel on the Furry Visual Novel server.
Zeke's face WAS supposed to pop up, but I accidentally forgot to program it into the mobile versions. It's already fixed for build 1.1 and will be there when we release it. As for the CG... no idea. It pops up on my end, so I have no idea how to fix that.
It's mostly going to be explained later on, but a very brief non-spoilery way is that they found each other again through the internet and created a group chat! It'll be explored a lot more in future builds. Sorry for the confusion!
Glad you're liking it so far! Sorry about the grammar errors. The reason there isn't a hide button on mobile right now is mainly just that it's the first build and I wasn't sure where to put it on the UI. I'll try to have it added (as well as a CG gallery) by the second or third build.
There aren't going to be any sex scenes, but it's labeled 18+ for some of the content in it. Sexual themes will be in the game, but no sex scenes between the characters.
We'll be updating the sprites in future updates. It was done like this for monetary reasons since sprites are expensive. Sorry to hear you don't like the antagonist's writing. We'll try to improve it in future updates. Silverstone's conception was mostly inspired by Higurashi, Silent Hill, and Uzumaki. I didn't read Echo until a while later. We knew we'd still get Echo comparisons, though, so we've accepted that.
Oh god, thanks for letting me know about the typo on the warning screen. That was the working title of the game and I must have typed it by accident. It'll be fixed after the jam is done!
Thanks for the in-depth criticism. Those aren't my actual thoughts on the FVNs, so don't worry lol. I actually was gonna have a bar scene originally but cut it. Seems to have been a mistake. I'll extend the warning for the 1.1 update next month as well!
Thanks! I'll be writing a bigger project soon so hopefully things go well there! As for music, it was for a more "realistic" feel for lack of a better term. Seems that didn't work out, so I'll keep it in mind for my next project :)
As for what all of that stuff is, it is in some way tied to the forces behind Silverstone. After the good ending, pretty much everything is back to "normal" in a sense. Walt isn't psychotic, it's Silverstone's influence affecting him. Wish I could go into more, but it's hard to get into without getting into the main meat of the full VN taking place in the town. All in time :)
And thanks for reading the about, as well! Trying to rest, but it's hard taking breaks as a workaholic lol
Unfortunately the best one is the MC dying a bit later.
I might put up a guide to get the endings sometime if enough people have trouble. Bad Ending, just choose the last option for everything and the Neutral one is a mix of the choices!
