aww you just had to drop that bomb on us like that. patreon-only for future instalments? good VN's already are so painfully difficult to find.

I'll try to put some thoughts here, like I did for EA before. I have really nothing bad to say about the writing itself, you sucked me into this world big time, and the two main leads are a delight (especially Hyper), I have found a few spelling errors here and there but nothing that breaks the story (your mate allegedly went grammar nazi on you, he just told me on Discord, but he seems to forget that he created gems like "I was delicious" while trying to describe a dinner, hee hee), there's just one thing I have to ask ; when Wolfstar uses the word "Earth" like in "Earth to Wolfstar", is he talking about the planet ? Cause isn't that a bit irrelevant if he's from an alien planet himself (Tesiare) ? There was also the line : ""Life isn't the same here as it was on earth", if it's the planet it's a capital letter, and I don't know why he would specifically bring up this planet too, unless I missed something and Tesiare doesn't have cities or anything resembling what's in this "paradise" (maybe that's something we'll eventually learn in the novel if that explains the characters' backstory, and dear I wanna learn more about Wolfstar & Hyper's past). Already you trump your mate's VN on two things : music (partially cause F*CK that earworm Tennis Court track + you have diversity) and... omigod WIDESCREEN ! You've got a couple of SFX & VFX up your sleeves too, for a first update, I'm genuinely impressed ! You definitely know how to handle Renpy, and I can tell you're having a blast with it, it's the kind of effort that's missing in other projects. Now sadly I have to say something negative, and that's probably gonna be a big turn-off for a lot of people ; the artwork. I had followed you on Deviantart many years ago, and while you had some instances where the linework & colouring were a bit rough, most of the time I was enjoying your artwork. I can tell however with this VN that you've been out of practice for years ; your Digicember picture with Leomon & Bancholeomon is on your banner, and just with this picture I can tell the difference between it and the artwork in this VN, it's definitely the same artstyle but it doesn't compare, it's literally rougher around the edges and the colouring I find is muddier. Some characters are fine, Wolfstar is probably the most decent sprite, but others like Axel, and especially the gorillas are clunky, hideous even, the overall anatomy took a downgrade, and as a side-note, Hyper has to suffer from a torticollis with his head constantly leaning forward (that said, my God I find him attractive). I don't know if the sprites are gonna get a revamp at one point, I'm not sure if it should be an absolute priority right now either, but it could kill the potential popularity this VN could gain in the long run. I'm not a style over substance kind of person, but I definitely got tricked sometimes by games appearing appealing to me and in the end having terrible delivery (like Lagoon Lounge), and I'm afraid people are gonna look at the artwork here and not bother even though the story and writing are definitely worth it. I can feel all that love and effort you're putting into this, I'm definitely becoming a patron of this project.

Don't lose heart, I plan to release the public version again in about two to three months. The patron only version just needs a couple of updates to get ahead.

Wow, now this is a hearty comment. I'll try to hit all the points in rapid fire style.

Whenever Wolfstar talks about Earth, he is talking about the planet we live on. Tesiare is where Hyper, Dagio, and Wolfstar all originally come from. One of my goals, and current side projects, is to get the stories of Tesiare published so anyone interested can have a physical copy to enjoy.

Thank you for the feedback about the art style of the game. Never worry about leaving negative criticism with me, after nearly three years of dealing with Mike Williams in art college I can handle it. As of today, none of the assets in the game are safe from being altered, or completely discarded. I am mostly focusing on creating the story as of now, but with time, I think we can all expect some professional polish in the future.
