Really promising so far! The art is nice, Cooper is adorkable, and being able to choose between so many species is neat even if it's not hugely impactful. Being able to make yourself an older/returning student is neat, also! I really like how you can go through the app messages (and good lord are they too real LMAO).
this is such a lovely read and cooper is fucking awesome. he's so cute i love him. really intrigued by the twist, excited to see where you go from here!
Literally logged into my itchio account for the first time in like 2 years just bc I wanted to comment on this good ass game. I usually avoid a lot of vns with male love interests bc I personally find the hunky smooth talking dudes that can dominate the genre to be insanely boring so this game was a huge breath of fresh air for me. Cooper fucking rules I hope he knows 5 million gay furries are destined to be obsessed with him lol. Also the writing is genuinely very well done, you have a very distinct style and it's a really smooth and wonderful read.
Possible bug on the android version:
When texting Cooper, I got an error after telling him my major was comp sci where the dialogue repeated and suddenly I was telling him I was an art major lol.
Like it so far, cooper is a cutie. Engaged by the twist looking forward to seeing how it goes. Please keep up with the android version, basically the only way I play VN's.
Hello Noisy Bear, this is gonna be a long one, hope you dont mind! I came across your game completely at random, and im not big on visual novels, but yours really caught my attention and ive played it, and made my friend play through it too. Cooper is best boy, hands down. I'm really looking forward to day 2. I have a bug report - I'm playing on android, on a Samsung galaxy 7, and for some reason, on the character creator screen, after inputting my name, I can't get the on screen keyboard to go away to choose gender and species. I managed to get the game started with the defaults, and made a save file straight away, but am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Secondly, when it gets to the second scene at the lake (don't want to spoil it for anyone reading this, but it's the one with the clouds) the game stutters and the text speed becomes very jittery. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but given the context of what's happening in the story, I think it's really effective! If you meant for it to go all jittery, then it's a genius move. If not, maybe you should consider making it like that on purpose, because as an effect, it really added to what was going on in the story. Just the way that the frame rate dropped and the text speed stuttered really added to the tension.
Sorry for going on so long. I honestly actually made this account solely to make this comment. I'm really impressed and invested in the story you're telling. I hope you can continue it through to the end. Thank you so much for making this game! :)
Hello! :-D Already talked to you over on discord but I'm finally reply to all my itch comments so I thought I should reply to you finally!
Anyway. Thank you for taking the time to write all that. The fact you made an account just to comment is just amazing. ’m really glad it grabbed you even if you’re not usually into VNs. That means a lot. Can't wait for you to play day 2!
As for the Android stuff: Fixing all of it. I finally finished coding an on screen keyboard to replace the mobile keyboard on android. Whenever it's done I'll be sure to upload. Thank you for being my "official" Android bug reporter LOL. Also I think as for the camera stutter etc. it's probably the device hitting the framerate so I probably need to lower the quality of the videos for those scenes.
Anyway, thank you again for playing and caring enough to write all of your thoughts out! Definitely can't wait to see it through to the end :-)
damn, this one is a hidden gem. The art design and writing are very good and very cozy as well! And damn, Cooper is a perfect love interest, such a cutie pattotie!
Hidden gem is such a nice thing to hear, thank you!! Glad you found it cosy too. Don't let Cooper hear you call him the perfect love interest ;p it'll go straight to his head. Anyway thank you so much again!
Really enjoyed the demo, Cooper is so fun to tease lmao. And I got really invested in the story, especially towards the end so can't wait to see more as it updates!!!
I cant wait for more content of this game, so excited for the next big update, love this novel SO MUCH, very creative, what the hell HAPPENED THOUGH?? so curious such a good turn of events
Ohmy dear god, I LOVE it. Cooper is so cute n sweet reptil-man, I litrally couldn't help but smile as I watch his awkwar yet charming behavior. I jus wanna hug him so much😔😔 I swear, I didn't even think I'd like a random novel from a website, BUT... My friend and I REALLY enjoyed it. We can't wait for the novel continue! (Im so srry for my eng, Im from Russia, I tried, lol) (Also we spent 'bout an real hour laughin becaus this amazng cap🐟.)
This genuinely made my day, thank you!! :-D I’m really glad you and your friend liked Cooper so much. Glad you liked his women cap lol. And no worries at all about your English I understood everything perfectly. Anyway thanks so much for playing!! Hopefully more to come!
The story is so easy to lose yourself in, I accidentally breezed right through it- it's made me very nostalgic since I'm from Florida, but haven't lived there in some time 😭 I can't wait to see what happens next!!
((also, would it be possible to add an option for the MC to be a raccoon? If not, that's absolutely alright since I know coding this stuff can be so, so complicated :'] keep up the great work!!))
Thank you so much!! Hopefully a big update coming soon. Also damnit! I knew I forgot a species haha. I thought I got everyone but I realise that raccoon is their own thing... I don't even know what genus that would be? Procyon? xD
Hey, just wanna say I think being able to select both the player's gender and a wide-range of species is a really great choice to appease everyone, and, can technically make this a HMOMA or HFOMA game, which are both really rare in the VN space, surprisingly! I'll definitely recommend it to the former if I can. Also, damn, I'm surprised how common the trope of some form of scaly working at a gas station is!
I think the protagonist being male is completely fine seeing as all fvns and fvns spaces are centered around mlm and queer relationships. I don't think we need to add female protagonists as it ruins the mlm and queer representation there are sooo many games with females protagonists like otome games ect, but it's just not that way for fvns. That's like asking Otome games to add male protagonists.
While I totally agree with this the gender was always selectable (male, female, neutral). I originally was going to make it mlm (since Cooper is supposed to be canonically gay) but as a queer person myself I wanted to see him navigate relationships with other queer, straight, non-binary, trans etc. furries. It didn't seem right to make a game that excluded a significant portion of furries, esp. furries that are non gender conforming.
In saying that, the way Cooper reacts to each gender is unique. I also hate the fact that I can't play as a gay male in normal otome games ;p So even though making all these options was absolute hell to code, it was a majorly important part of the overall story for me.
I agree, there's so many spaces with female protagonists but so little queer/mlm representation in games, the fvn space is literally all we have. Personally I would rather not ruin the fvn space with female protagonists. I can hardly read books with female protagonists 😭
tbf there's hardly any mlm and wlw books\games in general ESPECIALLY wlw (it's less popularized than mlm, and even then it's hard to find something good and not sexualized) Also compared to female protagonists there's alot of male protagonist media statistically! i think you're just noticing female protagonist media more nonetheless i still wish sometimes that i could play a male in otome games but alas.
Thank you so much! I kind of responded down below but I really enjoy games where I can play whatever I want to. I didn't realise human on anthro was such a big want for people but glad I can provide.
To be honest i like this VN i think it’s great i lived in Tennessee most of my life but would love to see Florida I hope to build a great relationship with Cooper his very sweet and sly and I like that about even if it’s just normal or NSFW Relationship i love the story so far i hope see more gameplay soon :) also it’s great to see other Scales X3
Thank you so much!! That’s really cool to hear, especially coming from someone from the south. I’m glad you’re enjoying Cooper so far! I'm hoping I can write their relationship develop in a way that feels natural. Anyway! More gameplay is definitely coming, I'm working on it right now :)
I'm already loving this VN a LOT. I get to choose what species I am, there's a lot of small choices (personal fav), the mc is so cute, and the paper like HUD is a nice change from the grey boxes/
I had a couple small issues though: I kept getting an error whenever I tried to kiss him and the menu at the bottom kept disappearing whenever I tried to "Go Back" making it hard to go back, but other than that everything ran smoothly to me. I look forward to this, and I can already see it being one of my favorite VNs :]
Yay I'm so glad to hear that! Even though it's a pain to code, I too love VNs where you get a lot of small choices that are both meaningful and not. I usually like to pretend to be the player character and not just play through someone else's story.
Thanks for the info about the error! I realised I was missing a = after a certain choice that made the entire section break lol. Should be fixed now. Hopefully future updates will come sooner rather than later so you can see how it all plays out :-)
Yes!! I'm so glad you like it haha. As a dev who prefers play as a niche species I really appreciate when I can play as the character I want rather than default human or wolf.
I'm reporting a bug regarding the Android version. In the scene where there are red lights in the sky above the lake, the game lagged until it crashed and my phone literally restarted itself.
PS: After seeing the hot responses you can give, I'd love, though unlikely, to see sex scenes in future updates. However, if that were the case, the NSFW tag would be necessary.
Damn! Sorry about that. I don't have an android phone so I don't have any way of testing on mobile. Maybe the file size for that scene is too big. I'm not sure. I'll try to look into it.
Also I'm still debating on including NSFW. If I did, it would probably be a patreon only add-on or something. Either way, I'd like to see Cooper in hot, sexy scenes too ;)
Thanks for the reply. I'll just say that I personally would rule out the idea of making exclusive content on Patreon, because not everyone has the money to spend there.
Thanks for posting this screenshot!! I realised I somehow deleted an = which broke the relationship metre for that part and made it impossible to progress for certain relationships. It should be fixed now.

Hello! Just played this and absolutely loved the storyline and art style. Please check it out here 🧸🌨️❤️:
WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING I GOT COMFORTABLE AND THEN THAT HAPPENED PLEASE UPDATE IS HE OK
Haha guess you'll find out soon enough ;p ...
This game's so cute!! (especially Cooper :3) I really like it so far!
Thank you so much!!

I totally understand! your game is completely amazing with/without gender options!
Literally this. The exact reason why I never play Otome games, ;( hence why fvns will always be our space :3
Yes

Huge respect to the dev for not forcing us to have human species as the mc and actually letting us choose a species we would like to have !
Yes!! I'm so glad you like it haha. As a dev who prefers play as a niche species I really appreciate when I can play as the character I want rather than default human or wolf.

Did you click the orange "Download now" button?
Actually I tried downloading it again and it worked!!
