Did you read the page at all?. . .
The answer to all your questions. IS IN THE LATEST DEV LOG! >:C *takes your money because... yes.*
Why did the new version create a new icon and didn't have any of my old saves :<?
Because of code changes and the game corrupted, which is why there is none of your old saves... I think?
Did yours also lose? And the game icon changed too. It turned into Renpy icon
yeah :c
Wait Rask had an own route?
Good evening how do we go to jonh route
swap with him
Broo like literally dude, John been menace throughout the entire vn
This game's humour reminds me of The Amazing World Of Gumball, and I love it <3
Rask's route has to be the biggest vn glowup in history, Originally i liked Rask enough, he was naive and cute and that was about it. But now i love how he is portrayed as this masculine yet sensitive guy, his baggage and how he is more than just an oblivious rich guy is just so endearing. He went from my least favorite route to my indisputable No 1. Great job :D
Wait Rask had a route?
How dare you be this funny! the amount of sleep i lost because i couldn't stop reading this is unholy lol
SAME holy shit i stayed up 2 nights in a row just to reread Tom and Rask's routes
I cant belive you made me actually attracted to Rask with this one, like just a complete personality buff along with a nice sprite to look at
Why am I laughing...
I was meant to be cringing
WHY IS IT FUNNY???
cuz peak comedy lmao
Jayce's blush overlay doesnt fit him anymore.. He grew out of it! The red skin is being discarded!
+ Jayce forgot his face and went back to the old one for a moment when he bends over~ cant send a recording for sum reason
I was doing Rasks route on an entirely new read through and can not get the water scenes. Is that part of the story missing for anyone else or is there a specific progression of choices needed. I desperately need to see my boy at the waterfalls T-T
What are the two first choices you made in the game?
So uhhh I was doing Rask's route and this happened:
Jayce literally followed me to the menu screen ._.
I hope it's fixed because like how did he got there ???
do a lil 4th wall breaking :3
everyone involved has done a wonderful job with this Rask update. I loved every bit of dialogue and expressions/models we got. Very much worth the wait! This gray has my entire heart 🩶
this shit so peak :D
Always sad when i finish.. didn't expect to love Rask too.. Always ignored him because twink duh, I like how jayce also had an arc where he denied being into the twink lol
joblins here joblins there joblins everywhere
The Hawk Tuah joke in Rasks route made me laugh 1000x harder then I would like to admit... every three lines of this game had me sobbing "This is also my favorite position" How can one person be this funny, genuinely???
FINALLY AN UPTADE!!! TY <3
While everyone's into Rask, I'll just keep quietly thirsting for Garth together with John.
RASKame esta
This shit is the definition of peak, no questions asked, absolutely beautiful... (YES Jayce you ARE pretty enough to sell bath water)
Can we have a Teer route later? His first meeting was a bit of a mess but I got to like this character when I got to know him more after meeting him later.
The Dean doing the opening assembly gave me life.
It seems Tom is missing his sprite in Rusk route Day 2 lunch?
Is the waterfall scene with Rask missing from his route? It felt sudden when John mentioned that they ditched him yesterday but I didn't read any of that part . . .
Did you start from the beginning?
I'm sure I did cuz I never played through Rask's route before, also the days feels quite jumbled up if I'm not mistaken like Rask getting something in his eye then suddenly we're eating at the chicken restaurant
Jesus this update was insanelyyyy goood. Loveeee the sprites for Rask, he’s so expressive now it’s great i love seeing him melt Jayce with those puppy eyes while wagging his tail lol.
Also damn his character, I thought he was gonna be pretty straight forward and be a naive happy rich wolf originally but damn all the writing that was done to deepen him reallly worked. seeing him protect Jayce and showing more deeper and caring feelings, along with expanding deep on his background, really makes me love his character.
Also ofc the writing and comedy, out of the park as always, I may get the rare laugh at a vn, but this one always has me dying laughing
I love rask he is my pure innocent boi but also GYAAAT DAMN he also is hot as fuck and is my personal favorite and my wish to see im naked has come true UwU
"Bitch! Did you just throw a Bible at me!"
Honestly I love the dynamic between Jayce and Casper. They are like catty frenemies and I genuinely hope we get a lot more one on one interactions with them. A super secret 5th love route would be amazing too. 💗
I thought Rask had always been twunk before LMAO? Anyways, I love Rask since the beginning and I absolutely love the rework version (referring to the writing). Most probably bcs now we get more information abt his lore and upbringing, making him even more intriguing as a character.
We're so back. I hadn't really touched Rask before this and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed his route, especially the one on one moments between him and Jayce. Those two have surprisingly good chemistry after Jayce gets past his biases. He's definitely in the competition for top spot with Tom now.
Which makes it even funnier, when Tom burns a hole through Rask's head from jealousy and overprotectiveness, I really enjoyed the glimpses of his competitiveness peeking through in this route.
DANG IT, I didn't care for Rask before but now I really like him and genuinely love his dynamic with Jayce. He honestly has a really minor role in all the other routes and I kinda found him forgettable. But now I just really want him to be prominent in every route. Can their be just like an "ultimate" route where Jayce gets to be friends with everyone?
I've been waiting for Rask to get an update for so long!!!!! I have to agree with some that are saying its a shame that Rask went from a twink to a twunk, but overall I am just excited his route got an update! The story was really good and the writing was really well done. I can't wait for his future updates!
I don't usually give my two cents very often, but I must say this at least once. I laugh like a banshee every update. I relate to the MC when it comes to anxiety issues, and the writing to me is comedy gold. Keep up the good work and look forward to the next update.
P.S. I read a lot of VNs and appreciated the call out of a certain VN that has to do with tennis. Love ya ;p
Why do VN artists keep doing this to us? Are we not allowed to have any twinks? Thick arms, pecks the size of his head... Who is this? What did you do to my boy? Why?
Where were you when Monchimutt joined the twink genocide?
he was unrealistically twinky for someone of his background
besides, John is clearly the embodiment of Twinkness still
> he was unrealistically twinky for someone of his background
Debatable. But regardless, it's a porn FVN about magic and ancient ghostly Viziers, this is not and has never been about realism. Please don't try to make this about something irrelevant.
What this IS about is Monchimutt pulling a bait and switch, betraying the trust of his community by changing a character's design in a meaningful way without a discussion. This is a huge middle finger to each and every one of us, including you. This is a message, and it says: "I do what I want and I do not care about your opinions and emotional investments in the slightest".
> John is clearly the embodiment of Twinkness still
John in his next update if we don't rise up against Monchi's tyranny:
My condolences. I love bara as much as next guy, but I can sympathize with redesigns ruining characters for you. Creators, however, are free to do whatever they want with their creations.
As I am free to give them shit for it.
If the game suddenly turned into a body horror with straight romance - you wouldn't be defending the developer, you would be up in arms, because the game would be ruined for you. I'm exaggerating to make my point obvious, of course, but it doesn't really matter how far off from your expectation the game goes, when it's already out of bounds of acceptable for you.
The original designs were a promise. To change that - is to betray the trust of the community. This is why a good developer includes the community in the decision-making process when it's something that can make or break the entire project for large portions of the fanbase.
Monchi didn't do it, which mean he doesn't respect us. We didn't even get a heads-up, it was just dropped on us - in his eyes we don't even deserve a fucking word of warning from his fucking majesty.
So it's really bizarre that all these people with a para-social relationship with a person who doesn't give a shit about them are defending him.
calling everyone else parasocial while going on a tirade about how you've been "betrayed" by a vn creator (who has absolutely no obligation toward you or any of us) because he made a change you don't like is quite funny
I'm super happy that there's an update but, the files is downloading as a completely new one compared to the last few updates where each file would update the original one. I don't think is supposed to happen so did something go wrong in the file upload? Genuinely I've never had this happen before with the Android version of the files so I wanted to mention this here as well as Twitter because I hope it doesn't cause any issues
Yeah android one had no image and ofc was a different id or something because it installed in addition to the old game instead of updating
Omg i'm am sooo happy for a Rask update (spoilers) also the text is to long a goes off screen near the end of update on Andria
I really wanted Rask to kiss the Cat soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.
But all around it was pretty good
how do i get rasks route x3 sorry im dumb x3
go left and then head back on the first day
MY BELOVED WOLFIE RASK IS HERE WOOO
RASKK YIPEEE
I hope there's like a route for teer the new rask update really made me like him. He's just so comical. I want to teer and jayce to interact more really I feel like their dynamic is comical
