omg i love the plot and the characters- damn they're so fine. Also is there a chance that there's poly routes!! I would love to see one with Duri and Oz, literally one's a wolf and u have a guy trying to convince evryone that wolves will never hurt anyone unless necessary though not necessarily Duri in particular >:D seems like there could be more going on HAHA literally thinking abt how Oz may bicker with Duri when he's in human form but softens whenever he's in wolf form bcos he can't help his fondness for his wolf form! eager for the next chapter while i go back to studying for my finals hehe :3

peak fiction fr ToT I AM SOSOSO INVESTED TO SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT!!!!

comments on our companions/ROs

(playing with a female character for now)
oswin: he's got that dawg in him but i like his protective spirit
zahn: such a goofy goober, love him
duri: why does he remind me of gale and halsin from BG3 at the same time

i love the dads and lakota sm!!! they really make me feel like my character got the love she needs to keep going!

and i love my horsie Luchika ofc :3

keep it up!!! I really am invested to see how this goes!
if there's one thing i can recommend

listen to some music when writing <3 really helps get you into the vibe of what you write... i personally listened to the MHRise soundtrack while reading because oml it fit well with my character (fiorayne)...

but enough yapping from a monster hunter nerd... ENJOY THIS PEAK! i'm rooting for you!! and in the words of palpatine... "We will watch your career with great interest."

-love, LightningMeliodas, just a random monster hunter nerd and avid gamer.

rip cow :(

(this is sososososso good omg)

(+1)

Thank you, my friend! Sorry about the cow, lol. ^_^

I just finished through chapter 4 and I love this so muchhh. (btw maybe spoilers so CAUTION :> ) 

Anyways, I just want to say how much I love this story, the world building, even the characters! 

I love the parents so muchhh, right when they were mentioned, I already loved them (I even maybe almost cried at a few scenes including the cow scene tbh )

I also really love all the little details and interactions with the characters and how they interacted w/ each other (platonic or not). 

And I just wanted to say, the world building of this story is amazing, every little addition to the story always left me a little amazed. I really can't wait until chapter 5 comes out!

Though I do understand writing all that takes a lot time (and work!) So take your time ofc! Take breaks if you need them!

Anyways, for now, I'll probably re-play for each of the romances/companions (prob Duri first) >:D

(+1)

Thank you so much for the kind words, my friend! I am so glad you are finding so much to enjoy. I can't wait to get chapter 5 out, my goal is to have it out this month (it's been a rough month though, but I am striving forward on it)! ^_^

(+3)

To start it off: If you're hesitating on reading this. STOP. READ IT NOW!!! I PROMISE IT'S WORTH IT. VERY MUCH SO! PLS, READ IT AND SWOON WID ME!!!!!! QAQ


(long message ahead I apologize in advance so sorry ;_;)


The way my lips curled down in desperate sadness after seeing "Thank you for reading" 😭 I've never felt so so SO hollow before, it's just so GOOD. GREAT. AMAZING! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! So hey, dear author... what do you say about another faithful fan who pledges that this is one of her favorite IFs of all time now ;)


I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my parents. Da 'n Papa! They're such lovable and caring fathers I couldn't have asked for better ones. I love them with all my heart, I can't wait to get better and to go home and hug them again!!! (that one scene with MC crying for their parents' company and wanting to go home while in pain broke me btw)


ANYWAY. I romanced Oswin the entirety of the game (tho I did stray away a couple times to check what would happen with the other ROs... cough) but I always went back to choose my beloved Oswin in the end! All the events with him, his moments, I treasure them all with my whole heart! I have so much more to say about him, but I'll bleed my heart out once the game iz finished. (pls expect like 100k words) (the key scene made me bawl btw)


Ok so to summarize how I feel about the others:

Lakota: BEST.FRIEND.EVER.

Mule (I named her... uh, better not say): I've only had her for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Zahn: The sweetest, they deserve more LOVE. So caring and kind, like cotton-candy. Adorable af. 2nd fav after Oswin<3

Duri: Fluffy. Sexy. Hot. Did I mention FLUFFY yet? 

She-wolf: I've only had her for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Nathan: HOT. Love the pet-names btw. (WHY IS HE NOT AN RO????!!!!)


that's that, I can't wait to meet the others! so so so excited!!!


Everyone is EXTREMELY loveable. I can't find myself hating or disliking anyone!!! HOW, author?! You're amazing! Truly, thank you for this. Genuinely made my day. (The Election Ruined It But You Made Me Feel Better) Please always take breaks, stay hydrated! I love you so much (as a fan) Will be rooting for you and this masterpiece of a story<3333

(+2)

Awe, my friend you are too kind! Your message made my day - big time.

I am so happy to add you to the coven of devoted fans, my dear. There is always room here. ^_^

I am thrilled that you have found so much to love about it, and I can't wait to share more with you (also, no shame in sampling the other ROs, we'll just keep that between us, lol).

I will strive to bring more memorable and lovable moments with these precious characters in the months to come. I also had a rough day and spent it in and out of despair. But GC will be a safe space for me, for you, and for everyone that comes here. Thank you for stopping by and for the sweet message, it was a truly bright light for me today. ^_^

I love this game so much. It feels really unsettling sometimes(cow doesnt go moo anymore), but it adds onto the story and i really liked it :D

(+2)

I'm glad you love it, my friend!

If it helps, the cow thing might be the most traumatizing bit that I  have planned...maybe, lol. We haven't gotten to the nightmares yet though...

I'm not too far in,   but I've made decent progress, and  I have a few complaints. Know that this is meant to be helpful, and that this is literally all the fault I can find in this game. It's a very fun game so far.

- Dear god, there are so many grammatical errors. This entire thing is gonna need to be proofread to clear them all out. Most of them are harmless, mostly only annoying to grammar nuts like me, but some do obfuscate you intentions a little.

- Menu navigation is a touch borked. Sometimes back to game doesn't work (though you do seem aware of it, thank you for offering solutions to that one) and if I ever save, the save menu WILL NOT  reopen unless I open and close settings.

- I am very early on, so I may not have the best perspective of it, but I have to say that the game does seem a bit designed with female characters in mind. It's not too bad, but it is noticeable, particularly in the customization at the start of the game.

And that's it. Man, if that's all the flaw I can find (and I started looking), you're doing pretty good.  Just some gentle editing and a bit of wrangling of the spaghetti code, and you've got a quality work right here. I'd pay around  $15 for this with those changes. With these current issues, though, it ends up feeling a little unprofessional, which makes it a much harder sell. Seeming even a little unprofessional does pretty big harm to your salability.  But again, this is far less work than many games need, and it's one fun game. I hope this little criticism helps, and I hope to see this baby on Steam one day.

(1 edit) (+4)

I will say the last few parts of your criticisms seem highly unnecessary - because the IF is currently free (and free games or books etc. will be quite unprofessional) also most IF authors I've seen who charge anything have a patreon (that the author doesn't have) which you opt into for bonus content 

The most I've seen an IF go for is 12$ (I think authors deserve more but that's besides the point) and that's on the high end 

Which is all to say whatever prices the author 'would' charge you'd get about what you'd pay for but the author isn't charging anything so it's not worth speculating on

I think speculating on what it "would" go for IS important - this says demo, after all, which implies a full, paid version. And I was only attempting to state what I would pay with that comment, not what it would be worth. Also, does IF stand for interactive fiction? I've never seen that acronym before.

(+1)

Yes! If you search IF games anything interactive fiction  will show up  

Also I would sorta be repeating myself but since Lunan said they've recently thought about selling the full game and writing with that goal in mind I'll leave that discussion and thought process for them (lord knows I'm never gonna make an IF myself lol)

(+1)

I'm with you on that. I like to give my input about what's "wrong", because everything else is so right, but I'm just some guy. And who am I to proclaim something objectively anything? I just believe player feedback is important. But at the end of the day, everything is up to Lunan. As long as this story concludes satisfactorily, I won't complain.

Thank you, my dear, I do appreciate constructive notes, especially since I do this project alone! ^_^

I know there is going to be issues since I have no real editor or play-tester and am learning as I go. I had 2 people very briefly proof the beginning, but other than that, it's just been me. I have never coded anything in my life before this either. So, this spaghetti is going to be unhinged, my friend, lol.

Going to note too, that when I began this project - it was not for salability. It was just for the passion of it (the thought of putting it on Steam was like a far-off and untouchable dream). While I wanted it as professional as I could manage, that wasn't the end-goal, so those things were not a focus. It wasn't until sort of recently, with readers encouraging me, that I began really thinking about polishing and selling it one day. It would be a dream come true, to be sure.

Since I am now looking at possibly selling it one day, it will get extensive copyediting and refining. I just want the full story out for right now. 

The menu navigation will get an overhaul when I can focus on it. I have a lot of things I want to implement on the stats along with a journal page to track the story. What's there now just won't suffice for all I have planned. I think some of the issues rest in template I've used, but with some research I can fix them.

I've had the "female-leaning" reference made once before, and I'll say what I said then - I truly believe that depends on your perception of what is inherently male, female or anything in-between. I do realize most of my audience is female-leaning, but I have more often received comments that my writing wasn't as gendered as most out there. I do not believe in gender roles or that things should be gendered - period. The lens I see through is a-gendered as it is, so I just don't see it, personally.

Hey, don't worry too much. I also said all this as something of a utilitarian - most people looking at indie stuff don't care too much about professionalism, and I'm a grammar nut, so most people playing won't notice  most of those little errors. As for the female-leaning thing, it's only really even noticeable in character creation, and even then, not all that visible unless you're looking. And the menu navigation was already something you were clearly aware of, so I'm not fussed about it.

(-25)

Hmm...that was quite unexpected. You really should mention either in the description or in the trigger warning section that we have two gay fathers....I think that's...a bit important no? Sorry but I can't read your story because of that. But I wish you good luck with your work.

(+18)(-1)

Two gay dads do not require a trigger warning, but your comment sure does for homophobia. Don't be sorry, if that is where your line is, I'd rather you not read my work anyway, and I certainly do not need your well-wishes either.

(+6)

FACTS!!!

(+1)(-16)

That's fine, but you still need to give some warning about it because your work could be seen by other people who aren't looking for that kind of content. They're not gender-selectable like everyone else, you feel me?

(+9)(-1)

No, I do not.

 https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trigger%20warning

Gay parents are not disturbing or upsetting content. 

(+1)(-16)

Well, you don't have to put it in the trigger warning specifically. What I'm saying is that you need to make it more obvious in the description who finds and adopts the main character. Because I read it and didn't catch that. Maybe adding Gay tag will also help.

(+13)(-1)

You are not understanding, and I fully realize that you will likely not in a conversation with me. Should readers be "notified" about heterosexual parents too? I suspect your answer is 'no.' That is my issue with what you are suggesting. I will not treat parents with non-hetero orientations any differently in fiction or in real life. End of story.

(+12)(-1)

You need a trigger warning... for what now? I'm pretty sure this game is literally in the LGBT category in the tags. I don't think I've ever read a book that had a big red sign that said "gays portrayed!! read with caution" goodluck in your pursuit of divine heterosexual literature. 

(+1)(-13)

The LGBT category doesn't say much. I've played a huge number of games from this category and I'm quite happy with everything. Because either I choose the gender of the characters or I can ignore romantic interests that don't suit my tastes. Here it's absolutely inevitable, so it's worth putting some kind of warning about it. Maybe adding a Gay tag would be nice.

(+9)

We've established that isn't going to happen because it's ridiculous and the author doesn't want to and it's their work so this is a redundant argument. You made your suggestion and We've established this game is not for you. Good luck in your pursuit once again. I love the gay dad's. I hope they stay forever and always Amen. 

(1 edit) (+7)

Why do you feel so attacked that they put two homosexual parents when it really doesn't effect anyone nor anything. It's painful to see you whine over a game that you don't have to play or even think about. It just really aggrivates me, that small-minded people exist and are more prominent on the internet as ever, as someone who has been discriminated for the person who I am sexually I am intrested in. LGBTQ tags were put in for people who don't like those kinds of things; LGBTQ tags shouldn't be used for what you are describing.

(1 edit) (+6)(-1)

What i legit fail to understand myself is what exactly is the trigger warning here supposed to be for? Because they are gay? Andddd??? It's not like they are out here having sex in every scene or walking around with their asses out. And even if they were this is an 18+ rated game 🙄 but they aren't they are raising an orphan wtf is so triggering about that?

Stupid shit like this makes my brain hurt. Christ alive. Oh no look it's two people who love each other. The horror...

(+8)

weirdo

(+1)

(+3)

I've never made reviews or rated stories but this was amazing! it took my attention and the characters are to die for! I'm totally obsessed wit oswin. i love how brutal it is but also charming, and i cant get over papa and da :0. i cant wait to see wat happens next :) 

(+2)

I am thankful that you have stopped by, my dear, and that you are enjoying my story and characters. Brutal and charming is the best compliment to me, lol. I am really shooting for this very month for the next chapter as well, so I hope it won't too long for you to wait! ^_^

(+2)

This IF is everything I've ever wanted and more I'm so in love with it! You are incredible author and idk I just don't have enough words to say how much I like this story 

Sidenote Duri has my mc's heart completely 

(+2)

Oh I'm so glad you are enjoying it! I hope to bring you more to love this month as well. Duri has proven to be quite the heart-stealer too! ^_^
