Please allow me. Would I be rude if I asked a question? I'd like to try creating a game like yours. Where do I start? I've seen your game work and would like to. Please try doing it. P.S. If you have lost any manners or done anything wrong, please apologize here as well 🦋 🙇🏻♂️
Hey, I'm starting as well, but I've been working on my own VN for a few months now and I think I could help (Well I mean, if you already got help from people who are more experienced, then def go for them first.)
Well I'll be honest, when I started out in January, I had NO clue how to code with renpy. BUT just letting you know, it is so easy to learn. I could help you out more, but I have to know what your VN is about or something like that.
Well, if we're really talking about it, I really don't have any knowledge about this VN, so I'd like to ask you. Well, if it wouldn't be rude, could we talk via other routes, such as Facebook or IG? Will I get it or not? If it's like that, I'd probably be better off. 🙇🏻♂️
Of course, I was about to say, I think this place is for feedback, but yk, privacy and whatnot. I do not have IG or Facebook, but I do use discord and Gmail. Do either of those work for you?
Make sure nobody sees you leave Hood over your head, keep your eyes down Tell your friends you're out for a run You'll be flushed when you return Take the road less traveled by Tell yourself you can always stop What started in beautiful rooms Ends with meetings in parking lots
And that's the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings and longing stares It's born from just one single glance But it dies, and it dies, and it dies A million little times
Leave the perfume on the shelf That you picked out just for him So you leave no trace behind Like you don't even exist Take the words for what they are A dwindling, mercurial high A drug that only worked The first few hundred times
And that's the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings and stolen stares They show their truth one single time But they lie, and they lie, and they lie A million little times
And you wanna scream Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this idiotic fool that you made me You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
And you know damn well For you, I would ruin myself A million little times
Nah, now seriously, I loved every minute of this game, the sprites are awesome and super dynamic, the characters super lovely and the lore interesting, I can't wait to see more of this!
Okay, I'll just say it... I have not laughed this hard in MONTHS. Thank you for providing me with something that has put me in a better mood than almost anything has in quite a while. This update was great!
Jayce is really, really cute. Who doesn't love such a cute cat. Every time I see his face change it really makes me feel so cute. Tom is great too, hope to see more of Tom soon.
I just finished the game and I honestly think this is my most favorite furry visual novel I ever experienced, I know it's not finish like other novels but I really like the idea and creativity of this visual novel, great work 10/10 would very much recommend 🥳
What can I say about this visual novel after reading Tom and Maccoon routes? What does it feel like? The best word to describe it, it's lively!
Top-notch quality of animations, clean artstyle of visuals, cringy humor (which I am guilty to be fond of, every interaction with John is simply hilarious), both charming and authentic characters creates a truly dynamic atmosphere of 90's romcom-sitcom.
However, Socially Awkward has is it problems and one of the major is how unbelievably swiftly relationships develops in this FVN. NEXT PART MAY CONTAIN DIRECT/INDIRECT SPOILERS, BEWARE!!!!
Tom route is great. It does a fine job in revealing Jayce (MC) character, showing darkest moments of his past life, him being unloved, mentally attacked by his own father. It explain why Jayce is so conscious about ski hat being put on his head, it is to hide any connection with the pain of the past, with his cruel parent and the very reason he became Socially Awkward.
And in the darkness of past senior boy Tom was a ray of hope for Jayce. He was only person ready to relief our cat friend's inner misery, absolute lack of confidence and self-hatred.
But some events, as it happens in the flow of life, divided this two.
In Tom's route after finding out this events were a complite false made up by Jayce's father, lion and cat finally reunites as friends. And, I mean, even they didn't do that, they still had a lot of memories to share with each other. However... Turning from friends to lovers in 48 hours, then having ZeKs in a public place? I didn't quite get that.
Tom is a brave guy for sure, he seize every opportunity. But this is too much even for him. I am talking about his enormaously fast transformation from "wholesome friend of childhood" to a guy who is doing provoking reciprocating moves in the public gym with his hips to seduce his own friend.
I mean, it is a queer furry visual novel, every characters we have to interact with in it seems to be queer. But even for the world like this, I think it's not really a good idea to joke around this way in the public even if you slightly value your reputation. Such moments makes this story a little more funny and a lot less believable as well.
The only other of routes I've read is Macaroni's. What can I say about? It's considerably less well-written in terms of uncovering Jayce's personality and character than Tom's. It does not explain Jayce's socially awkward nature. I am aware that this novel still in developing and this might change drastically in the future.
However, in my opinion, there is a potential to uncover Mac not only as Jayce's (who seems to the corniest dastard in the Wild West) queer phantasy but something more complicated. Also this route has a lot of John's shenanigans with David, which is just amazing to witness. :)
And finally, talking about Jayce, someone may call him embarassing, I'll call him both cute and socially awkward. He is an embodiment of cute and lively nature of this game, being funny, true to himself and actually socially awkward person. Not always finding right words, sweating in conversations.
My verdict for this novel is 7 Jayce out of 10, which is "Cool read". Certainly looking forward for the next updates and intrigued with possibilities it could offer us.
P.S. I need to make a small revelation here. All my life I seem to enjoy furry content and stuff in any form of it, the very concept of an anthropomorphic animal is very exciting and pleasant for me, since I find animals being so amazing. And most recently, I am fond of reading furry visual novels for the same reason, especially after watching Keith Ballard's essay on Adastra. It is a whole new world for me, so many masterfully-created stories full of artistic spirit!
Although there is not so much of straight furry novels (I am straight or may be bi, yeah. Is there actually a good straight romantic furry novel that exists? Even one where you can date a girl? Saying not to offend queer people out there, you're just want to be appreciated and loved for who you are :D ), it's almost every time a refreshing and cool experience.
I would be happy to interact with furry community more!
YOUR BELOVED POOR DEVELOPER IS HERE TO TELL YOU!!!
The update still needs more work. It's coming but things have changed quite a bit and must be refined. So... Gimmie your money. *points at Patreon link*
POSIBLE SPOILERS!! I'm confused with Tom's route, IT goes very fast or there was a time skip, one day the mc is all shy and barely opening up again and then they are already kissing on the mouth and NEXT DAY they already have s#x in a dressing room? Did I miss something or am I doing something wrong? LIKE I FEEL THERE WAS NOT a progresssion of events that lead to all that. maybe its just me.
They did have a friendship growing up but the romantic aspect of it didn't blossom due to them being separated for a few years, which is why this is a huge jump
being 100% honest, i wasnt a super big fan of the writing style and jayce's personality. i found myself cringing a little too hard at jayce's jokes. but the wide variety of expressions, the BGs, and the other characters makes up. its an extremely nice game to look at. tom is my favorite route so far, and david is my favorite side character.
This is the first Fvn I have played that Use alot of expression And How I really love it like it gives the character more life (Idk how to say it) Anyways I really love this fvn.
There's so much expressions in this game I love it so much. It's got so much animations it's very lively. The demon eyes animation is so smooth it actually fascinates me.
I think it's slowly starting to shift to a more supernatural plot mixed with slice of life which will include horror but prob nothing intense I'd imagine
I legit just started reading this and I'm cackling over the art style and animation. It's so well done! I have such a crush on Tom... I look forward to continuing it :)
In John's route there are a lot of errors where it does not find his sprite in the files. Like on the train to the mall and he is laying on Jayce's lap it will pop up saying that it didn't find the sprite.

Hey, I'm starting as well, but I've been working on my own VN for a few months now and I think I could help (Well I mean, if you already got help from people who are more experienced, then def go for them first.)
If you would like to help or give advice, I'd be more than happy to help.
I mean I'm open to suggestions. 🙇🏻♂️
Well I'll be honest, when I started out in January, I had NO clue how to code with renpy. BUT just letting you know, it is so easy to learn. I could help you out more, but I have to know what your VN is about or something like that.
Well, if we're really talking about it, I really don't have any knowledge about this VN, so I'd like to ask you. Well, if it wouldn't be rude, could we talk via other routes, such as Facebook or IG? Will I get it or not? If it's like that, I'd probably be better off. 🙇🏻♂️

This VN was very good and really piqued my interest in it can't wait for the new updates
In my opinion it's a 10/10 so far
More, I need more.

Bruhh maccon 🤤 😍
When was it stated that Tom and Jayce are a couple? I mean its kinda obvious, but was it said outloud by any of them?
i think when i was playing i think tom calld him his bf
Did some digging in the files and found some interesting cut content. Felt it was my duty to share with everybody:
label cutcontentparody:
scene black
play music "audio/SFX/Cheers.mp3"
"Thursday, 8:30 P.M."
scene motavern
stop music
#Jayce and the gang are all at Dean Mo’s secret college bar to blow off some steam and get some well deserved drinks.
Mo “So, what’s everybody having?”
John “The usual, a confrontation with an authority figure.”
Mo “NOT IN MY GODDAM BAR YOU WON’T BOY!”
John "Oh, right. How about a life changing revelation then?”
Tom “Don’t look at me, I’m not your real brother.”
Maccon "Ah…I’d like an illicit affair with a man.”
Mo "I think you’ve had enough of those already.”
Fox “Well, I’d like to clumsily written out of the script please….oh, my heart.”

Tom “Cheer up everybody. How about we treat ourselves to an absurd storyline to boost our Patreon?”
Rask “You’ll be lucky to get one of those, before the comet hits the laundromat.”

Why?
What’s going on?

MACOON WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WHAT WITH A MAN??????
Make sure nobody sees you leave
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
Tell your friends you're out for a run
You'll be flushed when you return
Take the road less traveled by
Tell yourself you can always stop
What started in beautiful rooms
Ends with meetings in parking lots
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
It's born from just one single glance
But it dies, and it dies, and it dies
A million little times
Leave the perfume on the shelf
That you picked out just for him
So you leave no trace behind
Like you don't even exist
Take the words for what they are
A dwindling, mercurial high
A drug that only worked
The first few hundred times
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
They show their truth one single time
But they lie, and they lie, and they lie
A million little times
And you wanna scream
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
And you know damn well
For you, I would ruin myself
A million little times
I only want to say this:

Nah, now seriously, I loved every minute of this game, the sprites are awesome and super dynamic, the characters super lovely and the lore interesting, I can't wait to see more of this!
Okay, I'll just say it... I have not laughed this hard in MONTHS. Thank you for providing me with something that has put me in a better mood than almost anything has in quite a while. This update was great!
Me when new update drops:
THE SAVES MAY BE CORRUPTED BECAUSE OF THE RENPY UPDATE! OAO
IF SO!!! SORRY! >A< Start a new game and press Tab to skip or the skip button on Android. You should stop where you last played.
yeah :((
For anyone that forgot where the last update left off. It was uh, funny clothing store awooga
I'm 8 minutes late :(
Jayce is really, really cute. Who doesn't love such a cute cat. Every time I see his face change it really makes me feel so cute. Tom is great too, hope to see more of Tom soon.
I just finished the game and I honestly think this is my most favorite furry visual novel I ever experienced, I know it's not finish like other novels but I really like the idea and creativity of this visual novel, great work 10/10 would very much recommend 🥳
what's up with the vn? last update was last year, i wonder if the creator forgot to post the updates here
edit: nvm, went on their patreon and seem like they're working on the next update. take your time devs
Tom <3
I can't explain how much i love Tom imao
is the vn finished?
It is not for the moment. Tom's route is most developed for this time at least in terms of reading time.
It is completly worth to give Socially Awkward a chance even now. You will have a nice experience.
how many route are there?
4, i think. (or at least - 4 are planned, not sure if all 4 are implemented)
Tom, John, Rusk and Maccon's routes.
WARNING! ACHTUNG! LONGREAD!
What can I say about this visual novel after reading Tom and Maccoon routes? What does it feel like? The best word to describe it, it's lively!
Top-notch quality of animations, clean artstyle of visuals, cringy humor (which I am guilty to be fond of, every interaction with John is simply hilarious), both charming and authentic characters creates a truly dynamic atmosphere of 90's romcom-sitcom.
However, Socially Awkward has is it problems and one of the major is how unbelievably swiftly relationships develops in this FVN. NEXT PART MAY CONTAIN DIRECT/INDIRECT SPOILERS, BEWARE!!!!
Tom route is great. It does a fine job in revealing Jayce (MC) character, showing darkest moments of his past life, him being unloved, mentally attacked by his own father. It explain why Jayce is so conscious about ski hat being put on his head, it is to hide any connection with the pain of the past, with his cruel parent and the very reason he became Socially Awkward.
And in the darkness of past senior boy Tom was a ray of hope for Jayce. He was only person ready to relief our cat friend's inner misery, absolute lack of confidence and self-hatred.
But some events, as it happens in the flow of life, divided this two.
In Tom's route after finding out this events were a complite false made up by Jayce's father, lion and cat finally reunites as friends. And, I mean, even they didn't do that, they still had a lot of memories to share with each other. However... Turning from friends to lovers in 48 hours, then having ZeKs in a public place? I didn't quite get that.
Tom is a brave guy for sure, he seize every opportunity. But this is too much even for him. I am talking about his enormaously fast transformation from "wholesome friend of childhood" to a guy who is doing provoking reciprocating moves in the public gym with his hips to seduce his own friend.
I mean, it is a queer furry visual novel, every characters we have to interact with in it seems to be queer. But even for the world like this, I think it's not really a good idea to joke around this way in the public even if you slightly value your reputation. Such moments makes this story a little more funny and a lot less believable as well.
The only other of routes I've read is Macaroni's. What can I say about? It's considerably less well-written in terms of uncovering Jayce's personality and character than Tom's. It does not explain Jayce's socially awkward nature. I am aware that this novel still in developing and this might change drastically in the future.

And finally, talking about Jayce, someone may call him embarassing, I'll call him both cute and socially awkward. He is an embodiment of cute and lively nature of this game, being funny, true to himself and actually socially awkward person. Not always finding right words, sweating in conversations.
My verdict for this novel is 7 Jayce out of 10, which is "Cool read". Certainly looking forward for the next updates and intrigued with possibilities it could offer us.
P.S. I need to make a small revelation here. All my life I seem to enjoy furry content and stuff in any form of it, the very concept of an anthropomorphic animal is very exciting and pleasant for me, since I find animals being so amazing.

Saying not to offend queer people out there, you're just want to be appreciated and loved for who you are :D ), it's almost every time a refreshing and cool experience.
I would be happy to interact with furry community more!
I love this game but I’m so sad that I can’t play it anymore because I have an iPad not an android cause I gave my old tablet to my niece
YOUR BELOVED POOR DEVELOPER IS HERE TO TELL YOU!!!
The update still needs more work. It's coming but things have changed quite a bit and must be refined. So... Gimmie your money. *points at Patreon link*
Just finished Tom's route (or at least, what is in there so far) and I'm excited! :)
Keep up the good work, monchimutt, excited to see where things go :^)
POSIBLE SPOILERS!! I'm confused with Tom's route, IT goes very fast or there was a time skip, one day the mc is all shy and barely opening up again and then they are already kissing on the mouth and NEXT DAY they already have s#x in a dressing room? Did I miss something or am I doing something wrong? LIKE I FEEL THERE WAS NOT a progresssion of events that lead to all that. maybe its just me.
Yeah you're right about the extreme jump in their relationship in like 48 hours
Didn't they have relationship before? They know each other from childhood.
They did have a friendship growing up but the romantic aspect of it didn't blossom due to them being separated for a few years, which is why this is a huge jump
I've played many fvn's in my time, and this one by far is one of my favorites.
The stoy was cute and fun, and I'm so sad Rask, David, and Maccon's route aren't longer and hope they're expanded on in the future.
So yeah 10 out of 10 easily!!
(Rask and David>>>)
being 100% honest, i wasnt a super big fan of the writing style and jayce's personality. i found myself cringing a little too hard at jayce's jokes. but the wide variety of expressions, the BGs, and the other characters makes up. its an extremely nice game to look at. tom is my favorite route so far, and david is my favorite side character.
This is the first Fvn I have played that Use alot of expression
And How I really love it like it gives the character more life (Idk how to say it)
Anyways I really love this fvn.
keep up the good work
There's so much expressions in this game I love it so much. It's got so much animations it's very lively. The demon eyes animation is so smooth it actually fascinates me.
one of the tags is "horror" wow I really didn't see that coming, cuz the pics shown it looks like a slice of life rom-com lol.
I think it's slowly starting to shift to a more supernatural plot mixed with slice of life which will include horror but prob nothing intense I'd imagine
Being Socially Awkward in a college is a horror in itself.
其實主畫面音樂還挺好聽的😳但0.24那首被改掉了 有人有來源嗎._.
I'm sooo excited for the update!!! :3
To anyone who's wondering when the game will update, the creator has set a goal for next month. Source: Patreon.
I need an update NOW!!😭
When is the update?
During the parts where Jayce is dreaming, the shaky text animation really slows down the game, also causing more crashes.
I legit just started reading this and I'm cackling over the art style and animation. It's so well done! I have such a crush on Tom... I look forward to continuing it :)
In John's route there are a lot of errors where it does not find his sprite in the files. Like on the train to the mall and he is laying on Jayce's lap it will pop up saying that it didn't find the sprite.
Yes!! I had the same problem and it's so annoying :<
im also having this issue, and i have no idea what to do now
It's just that the files are missing, you can't do anything with it :/
shit. :(
Una historia sin duda vital, debe ser vista por todos los que puedan, sin duda alguna es una de ls qué motivan a impulsar $$ sus tramas, acciones, arte, es todo excelente exquisito
Recently downloaded, been getting lots of crashes and I'm not sure why. Pretty annoying but I think I can manage. :P
Comedy done right! Had me laughing so much!! Love this VN and I can't wait for more. MC is low key my ideal man.
cant wait for the next update
