TIME FOR OUR OFFICIAL LAUNCH!


Or you patreon folks can get it through our dropbox like normal!

Huge fuckin' thanks to y'all for all of your wonderful support! We absolutely couldn't be doing this without you guys! We're super stoked for hitting this milestone, and are even more stoked for all the cool ass stuff we have yet to show you guys.

Most of y'all playing along with the releases will know what sorta stuff we've been adding - But here's a nice fun list of all the stuff added from Act 1 to Act 2!
  • ALL NEW MUSIC! Same tunes, but remastered/reworked!
  • 17 Illustrated nsfw scenes! Some are multi-part!
  • 4 New animations!
  • Meet 4 New critters!
  • Introducing Dustin's Dodge Challenge minigame!
  • New "Critter Dates" mechanic! Pop in on other critter's dates and see what they're up to!
  • Something happening in the forest? Rascal's involvement in the forest accelerates the plot and elements of the game! Act 2 starts to show what things we have planned :)
  • Chapter Select! As you progress, you'll be able to hop back to previous sections of the game. This does wipe your save progress for now though. We will be working on this feature in the future, it was a bug testing thing that we decided might be pretty dope to clean up.
  • Particle Effects baybeeee!
  • New Title Screen! It's sleek!
  • Much more! We've got a few new systems in place that will flourish in our future builds! 
You'll just have to see for yourself! Give it a shot and let us know what ya think!

Oh, here's a list of a few bugs we're aware of:
  • Interacting with Penny will mess with the Background Audio levels in Central Forest. It'll go back to normal eventually.
  • WebGL has a loud hiss that happens. Likely due to audio memory allocation for browsers. 
So what's next?

First, we'll be taking a little break! Then we will be transitioning our entire game to a fresh project. Vixel's super stoked about this transition and what it's gonna save him in terms of time and bug-busting. It'll be a lot of work, but absolutely worth it! He's already started the process several weeks ago!

Then we'll be going full hog into Act 3! As I said, tons of content is already prepared for it, Hopefully we'll be looking at quicker turn around times per-act. But we'll see. We are doing our best not to over-stress ourselves out with deadlines, and just letting things get completed when they do!

That's it! Please enjoy <3!

Riot Goes Woof

Can't wait! Downloading now &lt;3

Thank you for updating this beautiful game, I shall try the new version soon! Sadly I barely had anything left in my Paypal but I used it for this. I especially appreciate that you're including a Linux version, makes sure those of us who dumped Windows have a good alternative to the browser runtime.

I cannot seem to find story 18. it is the very last one at the end of the row. I have talked to every critter, every gossip, and I walked in and out of that shop probably 30 times after I had the last critter date and there has not been a new one. Was wondering if it was implemented or if it was holding open a slot for something in progress that was not released?

Steve

Also, I bumped into a fish once when swimming. It apologized then left. I am not sure if that was supposed to go somewhere else or was literally some kind of random encounter that was nothing more than that.

Mircea Kitsune

I managed to get them all. The 18th I'm afraid is hardest to achieve: You need to beat the minigame at the sports field... on novice mode... without taking any hits. A bit frustrating but after some trial and error it becomes possible.

Mircea Kitsune

Same! Thought it's a rare easter egg at first. Kept swimming around to see if there would be a continuation to that event but couldn't find any.

Steve

Thank you. I actually beat the mini game on normal mode with no hits, I never thought novice mode was required to trigger the story. Bucky and Augustus is a normal date. Just walk in and out of the shop a bunch and keep talking to any and all critters on dates, that will eventually have those 2.

Steve

Is any part of that mode novice? The naming is seriously deceiving. It should be like challenge mode or advanced mode.

Yo, this game's pretty dang phenomenal already. So I dunno, if maybe getting the writing 100% correct isn't exactly at the top of the agenda for now, but I noticed some more "idiomatic" expressions being misspelled, like "throws of passion" should be "throes of passion", one character said "rearing to go" instead of "raring to go" I think, and uhh... crap, already forgot the third thing I had noticed. Wasn't exactly taking notes... The writing is quite fantastic otherwise, just hope someone who won't be distracted by the sexy every 5 minutes (dang you, Penny!) will look over all the dialogue once more when it's time to polish the game :)

CarrotsCritters

Oooh shit, y'know I definitely never considered looking up those phrases lmao. Thanks for the headsup! And all the praise &lt;3! We appreciate it!
