I'm kinda near the end of what's available. I find it intriguing that the side characters are more attractive to me than the datable ones. The serpent Yarin encounters at the beginning (who backs out when she realizes the VIP elevator is too full) stood out, but I think Zaran instantly became my husbando for this game.
(Next paragraph is most important for me, rest is just general thoughts)
Sad he doesn't have much available, the few scenes Yarin gets in proximity to him are nice and make me want to know this character more. Guess it's not too much to ask to add a date with him? I think his popularity might get a lot higher, based on the original log where he was added seems there was quite some love sprinkled into the "gentle giant." I could make my own scenes with him, but I think the magic is in seeing the author's iteration :P
As for the story itself? It's intriguing, I'm honestly glad to see a premise that isn't "human with furries/dragons/dinosaurs," but rather... some strange witchcraft gone wrong XD - This is coming from someone who recalls Roses In The Flames, Angels With Scaly Wings, Perihelion, DinoNite, Dino Of My Dreams, so there's a lack of variety, let alone visual novels that are complete in the first place. Oh, I should also praise the use of "non-human" names for the most part. Helped with immersion aside of a few that are off (Camila).
As for the characters? Well, lemme fill (the reader) in with my scoring grade. 5/10 is the worst you can go because it means the character is forgotten/forgettable. A 0/10 means you made a character perfectly incompatible with me and offensive :D, a 10/10 is making a character that's perfect for my tastes. Getting a 0 or a 10 is nearly impossible, but getting close isn't.
Zaran is a 9/10 based on what little I see of him. A few flaws in design with the black markings but far less offensive than Magma from Roses In The Flames XD (admittedly it's intriguing if those were actually just some kind of tattoo or added marking that only works on scales, if not even make-up because why not, he looks like the kind of goof to draw lines and shapes on his face as a sort of cosmetic)
Yarin - 8/10, good protagonist, not as offensively poorly written as in RiTF, not as great as in AWSW, but I can still question how he can remember some things when he's supposed to have amnesia, let alone remembering what other business scalies do that Kovle wouldn't. Some of the scenes were excellently written to the point even I was a little disoriented with what was going on.
Corvolin - 7.5/10, decent, I read there's far more to him than is currently in the game, I like myself a good, chunky character, and this one has quite the mystery included~ Success
Brymror - 8.2/10, a nudge above Yarin, I see him as a half feral so bonus points, and he reminds me of Blazamut from Palworld which apparently is also a design partially akin to that of Monster Hunter or some other game? Overdesigned, but fitting for his personality, and definitely does the irate archetype far better than RiTF. I see his behavior even more realistic than Yarin's considering what transpired. Definitely deserved the third date even though I haven't played a single one, but the main route stuff is great!
Cedrik - 7/10, I like the prospect that I may be able to "switch gender" sometime in the future. Wouldn't mind being a female if not even being transformed into a dragon due to some "misfortune," but I'll settle for dating Zaran. Back to Cedrik, he's okay, but I think he eventually blended into the background after I did his second date on day 3.
Kovle - 6.5/10, I'm not sure if his design fits entirely, but his character does. Had he not been an important character, he'd be forgettable, which is sad cause he seems to be of the few closest to being feral in this game.
Garreth - 4.5/10, I'm mixed here, Garreth seems nice and I do like some of his scenes at the bar, but I'm not the kind to like the extra buff guys, let alone the spikes around his neck. His goods look as nice as his personality but seems like a lost datable slot for me, especially when Brymror already does a great job at being the overdesigned buff one.
Azorin - 5.5/10, I'm mixed but leaning into the positives. Azorin's design definitely has grown on some people, not so much on me... The male organ definitely a questionable choice considering Garreth's but I can let it slide since I didn't mind Brando's. I'm not sure, I had a good time with this character but aside of being a coffee connoisseur, I feel he left little impact on me.
Mindala - 7/10, decent villain, sad she's the only fully feral western to get proper attention to her character. The bondage was interesting and I'm happy to see a bad ending to put some weight to Yarin's actions for once instead of the usual pop media just... Aside, I'm interesting to see where this character goes, if it needs to. These kinds of villains are quite intriguing to just piece together and figure out.
The kobold - (I'd make a joke of him being the best character but Zaran exists so) 8/10. He does his job and is memorable just by serving and occasionally having these moments where you're cut off just as he was gonna say something interesting. Also, the fantasy scene in Day 1, chef's kiss. Was not expecting it, but I appreciate it.
Brando - 7.5/10, he's a widow who's only warmed up to Yarin for the first time in who knows how long. He's quite effective as a character and if this was the only character with the humanoid shaped lamlam then that'd be quite a surprising but great choice.
The alligator - 4/10, much like Magma from RiTF, I'm not sure if I like random round markings on the face. Makes it hard to look at them. Aside of that, I think she blends nicely as a background character.
Camila - 5.5/10, she's the BDSM girl and has connections to the police chief. Not my type, but very sure someone will like her very much.
Roy - ?/10, haven't met this one yet, although a little disappointed to hear they're a wolf. I was kinda sold on this being a mostly scalies world, which made it stand out among furry media. Aside, I don't think I can judge this book by it's cover as that's all I know of them.
The deer one - 5/10, forgot their name, the only thing I remember of them is the notebook and having to repay them for interrupting their sleep.
Lucra - 2/10, I genuinely thought she'd be a dragon or even a succubus from what I heard from Cedrik. Being the female with the piercings and a species I have no interest in, she's probably the only character I'd actively avoid, but isn't a detriment to the novel enough to warrant a lower score.
I think that's all I have in mind, I never posted in itchio before so I dunno how the censorship regime works here. Just thought I'd post because my big boi Zaran needs some attention and I want to gib some :3
Thank you for your feedback, it was quite a treat to read.
As far as I am aware, there are no automods or the likes on itch.io, so moderation happens on each page based on the game/project owner. The only things we (Juicy Drakes Studios) delete in the comments are offensive comments and bots. "Offensive" doesn't mean criticism, but rather someone trying to bait others for hateful responses, etc.
I am a bit confused at why you don't like Lucra and Roy; the presence of mammals is important, given the in-universe happenings. Those happenings will become a bit more clear over time, but while we do focus on scalies, the occasional "furry" popping up isn't an accident or just us trying to appease one audience or the other.
The oddities you are noting with Brymror is because he was originally made by a different artist. We got more consistent with character design over time, so I am glad you enjoy the way we are currently designing characters.
Side-characters have gotten a lot more attention lately, since we are trying to make the first act of the game (everything up until you leave for the trip to the river) as solid as possible. The elevator kobold will even get a few more scenes at the very least.
Brando is a fan-favourite, so we will probably write more scenes for him, too.
Zaran is actually a patron character, so we haven't written more content for him yet, given that we are currently restructuring the game: Each character has gotten their own proper file and progression values.
It'll make it more modular and easier to write new content for each character. We are going to keep working on each of the characters; Garreth is going to get a full-on rework, but I (Baku) haven't been able to continue that yet since I am currently rewriting the entire game engine in Godot 4
Thanks a lot for your feedback again, and we hope you enjoy the updates that we'll present in the future!
None of us can speak or read Chinese, so if you are asking if there will be a localisation for Chinese: We don't have any plans for any localisations, currently.
We want to finish the game (in English) first, before we pay for any potential localisations, as our game as-is is focused on writing.
Translating our game is a non-trivial task, as we do have lots of flowery writing and puns, for example.
this was one of my first "furry" vns along with morenatsu, wolfstar, extracurricular, repeat, nekojishi, echo, LD, kingsguard and adastra. u guys will forever have my heart & support. im excited for future updates.
Wow.... Just wow.... i was enamored and captivated and swayed with emotion at all times... what a freaking amazing experience... PLEASE keep up the amazing work. i had so much to do before i was told it was the end of the current version!! 5 out of 5 on this. thank you for making it this far ^^
Hi! Will the save system be reworked in the future to make it more ergonomic? Like a basic page system to better manage your progress according to the character we want to romance? Because the current system is very confusing and above all it would be relevant if the game focused only on a single romanceable character or for a story really linear.
It is already getting reworked at the moment due to a lot of persistent bugs with how the game saves the game state.
We didn't have plans yet to change the UX of it, but you bring up a good point that you don't see any differences in the state of a save file aside from the date and the thumbnail.
Given just how many characters you can progress with at the same time, it's a little bit of a conundrum how to convey relevant information.
We will be brainstorming about this, but I wouldn't expect a change in the UX to come out soon.
At the moment I am focusing on improving forward compatibility of save files.
It's a tricky question to answer, but we are aware of how slow our progress is. We can't really give you an estimate, but we are hoping to finish this game within two years.
We currently have to overcome a massive bump with the game engine but once we are past that, I (Baku) can focus almost entirely on writing.
Currently, two writers (Gherod and Baku) produce all the writing content for the game, but with myself currently working on programming that has slowed things down a bit.
We are still hoping to release a build this month, but until I am done with the engine fixes, I find it hard to foresee when we will release 1.0.0.
I am sorry, I could not give you a more satisfying answer, but we work as quickly and as hard as we can.
I have always been under the impression that Garreth is the least favourite character at the moment, but we will also be refining his existing content after Kovle.
We get requests for more Kovle content fairly often along with Cedrik.
this really made our day, thank you a lot for your comment.
I am currently working on an entirely new framework to support the intersex content. It also involves determining how many times you've had sex with which characters and also in what contexts.
I am not sure how much of a continuation this route with Cedrik will get with the next patch, but, I am planning to release more intersex content with the next build... however, for the public build that will be two versions away.
I don't know when the update afterwards will come out, but if we keep up our bi-monthly release schedule, it'll be in February 2025.
Not yet, it has been on the backburner/our to-do list for a while but other things ended up taking priority. Right now, we are going to start working on an inventory screen.
We will let you know, when we get around to creating the gallery.
I'm having a weird issue where no matter what I do I cannot use my keyboard to advance text. It is opening the menu no matter what even though it is supposed to be able to advance text with either enter or spacebar. Is this a common bug or is it somehow just me?
It finally cleared up, but only after multiple uninstalls and reinstalls. This was in Windows for reference. Current thinking was it was a slightly damaged download as I was using the itch desktop app and my internet is a little spotty at times.
I would like to express my opinion regarding this new update. Spoiler Alert!
We finally got a date with Brando, and it was really sweet in my opinion. After seeing Cedrik with that nice body I expect that in the next Date with him there will be a NSFW scene. I'm also really curious about that silver dragon Camila was involved with, I hope that in the next few days he can be a character we can have Dates with. The plot seems to be progressing well, towards the end it seemed to me that Yarin's sanity was lowering while he was in the elevator and that scene with the demon gave me a really bad feeling.
If I may make a suggestion for the next update, I would like to see some CGs added for the Date with Azorin, especially the scene in his hotel room; then I would like to see dates for the characters who have less of them, so they can catch up with the others, so to speak.
I thank you at Juicy Drake Studios for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!
We really enjoyed reading your comment, thanks a lot. Seeing you and others get excited makes our work all worthwhile.
Without giving away too much, we do have plans for the spoiler characters you mentioned.
As far as dates for other characters go: we actually are currently working on them. The next big content drop will be a rework to days 6 - 8 given that they are fairly short compared to all other days.
It'll allow for characters like Kovle to get some time to show up.
Regarding CGs of Azorin: Do you mean such for the sex scene? Because they should be in the build unless you are referring to something else.
It seems that more people are not seeing it, so we'll be fixing it. Maybe we will be releasing another hotfix before we push the next build in December.
We do not have any plans for localisations outside of "Maybe after the game is finished".
Considering that we're just about to get into act 2, and we still have at least 3 more ahead of us, there won't be any localisations for a long while.
I also call it "localisation" and not "translation" because, for example, a lot of the jokes that characters like Cedrik crack are puns which you cannot translate 1:1.
Currently, we just do not have the time or funding to hire another person to localise the game for us into any other language, and then also to check their content.
ooh, I understand, there are no problems, I just wanted to ask, there is a lot of potential in the story, it is better to concentrate completely on the whole novel and finally if you want there are translators that you can hire without having to pay them, good luck and strength for the work team
I noticed when you talk with Cedrik (I already forgot how to spell his name) and you commit to say yes to an option, I was wondering if you had anything planned with that. Also, I absolutely love your story writing and art!
You were correct, Cedrik is how his name is spelled!
I have already been planning out the framework for the intersex path. I even started to write out a bit of content for it. It will also be accessible through other characters, but there will be variations.
So, short answer: Yes, there is content planned for it!
And I am glad to hear you've been enjoying our content. We hope to deliver more very soon~
Lol, i thought it ended with a c but i doubted myself and with with k but thats really cool to hear that there will be an intersex path! I look forward to your updates and can't wait when the game finishes! <3
Trying to download the VN because I'm on windows but I'm having trouble downloading it because it downloads as an .exe and keep getting an error saying my laptop doesn't trust the download.
I don’t know if this is another bug or if someone else said it, but if you either choose Brando it repeats the story chapter again and again. At least when I click alone afterwards. It’s an endless loop of the visiting the duskin. I noticed it can repeat too normally and the option for lucra explaining more about mindalu doesn’t always show up. On a side note, does cedrik have more than one date? But really, keep up the great work please!!! I love the game!! By the way, are we able to commission art featuring a character like lucra or such as long as we have your permission??
This bug has been fixed by now. The reason why the Brando content only looped sometimes is, this bug only occured if you had slept with Brando, which skipped part of the next day forward.
This had also skipped some game logic, so the game still thought it was on day 3, even though it was already showing parts of day 4.
Cedrik does have two dates at the moment. In the first one the two of you hang around in the spa area, in the second one you go to a diner together. Have you not been able to access the second date?
And regarding your question about art commissions: We are fine with fanart, as long as it isn't being resold. So, commissions are fine, but not if you were for example to wanting to use this art in selling prints or within another game that you make yourself and then sell.
Commissioning fanart is fine by us. You can probably even ask our artists directly if you would like them to make you something.
ah no of course! I meant just for fanart. I already know not to do any art that would sully or look bad upon the visual novel or brand. ^^ I’d never want my favorite novels to be seen poorly! You guys have really done a great job!
Hi, I was wondering if the game can run on adroid version higher then 11, my new A55 (runs android 14) cant install the game bc its " Incompatible with my device" when i try it over an android virtual machine on my phone it atleast gives me a clearer error, " install failed, No matching ABIS". I read that this could be because of the Cpu architecture or smt similar, is this true, if yes is there a fix? I would really apreciate if someone could help me with this.
I can check later on if the game runs on later Android versions. I just happened to get myself a new Android phone this month. My old one was running Android 8 which is what I was using to test the Android builds.
I imagine the reason why there might be some incompatibilities is because the game is still running on Godot 3.
I have been slowly working on fixing underlying engine code, but I can't give you an ETA when I will be finished. The kind of stuff I am working on should also take care of save file bugs.
edit: My current phone is running Android 14 and I can confirm that I get the same error message. But it lets me install the game anyway and it does work.
We'll investigate further. The error message "No matching ABIS" is specific to emulators it seems, however, it does give us a pointer to work with. I imagine we might have to update our android spk.
edit2: It should be fixed now. Let me know if it runs or not.
while im not on patreon, from what i can see from the public side, they have an update possibly planned for later this month for patreons, which means we should get an update soon after
Man, the story of this game is simply incredible! I started playing without much expectation and was very positively surprised by what you delivered. The characters are spectacular and the story captivated me and involved me so much that I feel anxious for the next updates.
A big applause for the script, the characters, the arts and the scenes, everything is very well done and I hope it continues with this same quality in future updates.
I feel bad for not being able to help you financially, but I guarantee that my words are true when I say that the game is incredible. Your work is excellent and I hope you gain more recognition.

It seems we forgot to add the devlog for version 0.3.12. We will be summarising it together with 0.3.13, as that build should be making out in April.
I hope that we'll be able to ship it either next week or the one afterwards.
Baku
so?
where 0.3.13 at? its may
this was one of my first "furry" vns along with morenatsu, wolfstar, extracurricular, repeat, nekojishi, echo, LD, kingsguard and adastra. u guys will forever have my heart & support. im excited for future updates.
Wow.... Just wow.... i was enamored and captivated and swayed with emotion at all times... what a freaking amazing experience... PLEASE keep up the amazing work. i had so much to do before i was told it was the end of the current version!! 5 out of 5 on this. thank you for making it this far ^^
Where's the devlog and the 32.bit version?
I don't know if it's intended or a bug but on android you are only able to access your last 3 saves.
God damn.. what a good freaking game, hope to play it full soon :p
0.3.12 Devlog?😅

Thought this was dead; so glad it's still being worked on. 🔥
Sobs, I can't get enough of Azorin. I love the man so much!
Any chance of an update for Kovle
There will actually be more content with Kovle in version 0.3.13. We are also refining his current existing content.
Great good to know cause it seems like he's the least favorite, according to fans.
That heckin stinks, I actually really enjoy Kovle D;
I have always been under the impression that Garreth is the least favourite character at the moment, but we will also be refining his existing content after Kovle.
We get requests for more Kovle content fairly often along with Cedrik.

After nearly 5 years of waiting for a second date with Cedrik, I’ve finally read it, and I must admit, he’s my favourite of the cast now!
Also, thank you for… opening my eyes to some things about myself. Definitely going to be looking forward to the development of that certain route.
Hello there,
this really made our day, thank you a lot for your comment.
I am currently working on an entirely new framework to support the intersex content. It also involves determining how many times you've had sex with which characters and also in what contexts.
I am not sure how much of a continuation this route with Cedrik will get with the next patch, but, I am planning to release more intersex content with the next build... however, for the public build that will be two versions away.
I don't know when the update afterwards will come out, but if we keep up our bi-monthly release schedule, it'll be in February 2025.

There's no gallery?
Not yet, it has been on the backburner/our to-do list for a while but other things ended up taking priority. Right now, we are going to start working on an inventory screen.
We will let you know, when we get around to creating the gallery.

I'm having a weird issue where no matter what I do I cannot use my keyboard to advance text. It is opening the menu no matter what even though it is supposed to be able to advance text with either enter or spacebar. Is this a common bug or is it somehow just me?
I have not heard of this bug before. Does this still occur after closing and opening the game again?
I have not tested this game on Linux or Mac, so I am not sure if this is an OS-specific problem.
Lone_Wanderer
It finally cleared up, but only after multiple uninstalls and reinstalls. This was in Windows for reference. Current thinking was it was a slightly damaged download as I was using the itch desktop app and my internet is a little spotty at times.
I would like to express my opinion regarding this new update. Spoiler Alert!
We finally got a date with Brando, and it was really sweet in my opinion. After seeing Cedrik with that nice body I expect that in the next Date with him there will be a NSFW scene. I'm also really curious about that silver dragon Camila was involved with, I hope that in the next few days he can be a character we can have Dates with. The plot seems to be progressing well, towards the end it seemed to me that Yarin's sanity was lowering while he was in the elevator and that scene with the demon gave me a really bad feeling.
If I may make a suggestion for the next update, I would like to see some CGs added for the Date with Azorin, especially the scene in his hotel room; then I would like to see dates for the characters who have less of them, so they can catch up with the others, so to speak.
I thank you at Juicy Drake Studios for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!
We really enjoyed reading your comment, thanks a lot. Seeing you and others get excited makes our work all worthwhile.
Without giving away too much, we do have plans for the spoiler characters you mentioned.
As far as dates for other characters go: we actually are currently working on them. The next big content drop will be a rework to days 6 - 8 given that they are fairly short compared to all other days.
It'll allow for characters like Kovle to get some time to show up.
Regarding CGs of Azorin: Do you mean such for the sex scene? Because they should be in the build unless you are referring to something else.
Lone_Wanderer
Yes, I am referring to the sex scene at the Azorin event, both while they are kissing and undressing and while they are on the bed.
It seems that more people are not seeing it, so we'll be fixing it. Maybe we will be releasing another hotfix before we push the next build in December.
Lone_Wanderer
Roy is my favorite. The wolf is just so sexy and boyfriend material
We had a lot of fun writing him, heh.
Glad you enjoy him, he will show up again in the future as you can imagine~
Lone_Wanderer
Im obsessed with Corvolin...i hope theres more content with him soon =3 maybe a sexy bad ending..heh great work yall!
Corvolin is one character that has been on my mind quite a bit as well. There is already a lot of content with them that isn't finished yet.
It is probably one of the most expansive characters I have written yet, but as a result, writing this content has taken me longer.
I am hoping to get to work on Corvolin next again, actually.
Lone_Wanderer
Is the idea to have a Spanish translation?
We do not have any plans for localisations outside of "Maybe after the game is finished".
Considering that we're just about to get into act 2, and we still have at least 3 more ahead of us, there won't be any localisations for a long while.
I also call it "localisation" and not "translation" because, for example, a lot of the jokes that characters like Cedrik crack are puns which you cannot translate 1:1.
Currently, we just do not have the time or funding to hire another person to localise the game for us into any other language, and then also to check their content.
Lone_Wanderer
ooh, I understand, there are no problems, I just wanted to ask, there is a lot of potential in the story, it is better to concentrate completely on the whole novel and finally if you want there are translators that you can hire without having to pay them, good luck and strength for the work team
I have never played this game before and this is the first one I have picked up and I really like it and I hope to play the update soon.
Lucky for you, the next update happened to be just around the corner~
Lone_Wanderer
I noticed when you talk with Cedrik (I already forgot how to spell his name) and you commit to say yes to an option, I was wondering if you had anything planned with that. Also, I absolutely love your story writing and art!
You were correct, Cedrik is how his name is spelled!
I have already been planning out the framework for the intersex path. I even started to write out a bit of content for it. It will also be accessible through other characters, but there will be variations.
So, short answer: Yes, there is content planned for it!
And I am glad to hear you've been enjoying our content. We hope to deliver more very soon~
Lone_Wanderer
Lol, i thought it ended with a c but i doubted myself and with with k but thats really cool to hear that there will be an intersex path! I look forward to your updates and can't wait when the game finishes! <3
Just reached the end of the build and I was audibly disappointed that it didn't keep going.
Super enjoying Identity so far, excited to see more in the future
ITS BACK!
I'm so glad this game is getting updated again! It was and still is one of my favorites.
Trying to download the VN because I'm on windows but I'm having trouble downloading it because it downloads as an .exe and keep getting an error saying my laptop doesn't trust the download.
I am not really sure what the issue is, because I develop the game on Windows, albeit I am on Windows 10. Which one is your OS?
Lone_Wanderer
My OS is Windows 11 but I did manged to get downloaded in the end though
I don’t know if this is another bug or if someone else said it, but if you either choose Brando it repeats the story chapter again and again. At least when I click alone afterwards. It’s an endless loop of the visiting the duskin. I noticed it can repeat too normally and the option for lucra explaining more about mindalu doesn’t always show up. On a side note, does cedrik have more than one date? But really, keep up the great work please!!! I love the game!! By the way, are we able to commission art featuring a character like lucra or such as long as we have your permission??
Hey there, Lone_Wanderer here,
Are playing the public or the patron build?
This bug has been fixed by now. The reason why the Brando content only looped sometimes is, this bug only occured if you had slept with Brando, which skipped part of the next day forward.
This had also skipped some game logic, so the game still thought it was on day 3, even though it was already showing parts of day 4.
Cedrik does have two dates at the moment. In the first one the two of you hang around in the spa area, in the second one you go to a diner together. Have you not been able to access the second date?
And regarding your question about art commissions: We are fine with fanart, as long as it isn't being resold. So, commissions are fine, but not if you were for example to wanting to use this art in selling prints or within another game that you make yourself and then sell.
Commissioning fanart is fine by us. You can probably even ask our artists directly if you would like them to make you something.
ah no of course! I meant just for fanart. I already know not to do any art that would sully or look bad upon the visual novel or brand. ^^ I’d never want my favorite novels to be seen poorly! You guys have really done a great job!
Why is there a repeated sound effect after the face off with Mindalu? It sounds an Ice spell being casted
Lone_Wanderer here, we are currently looking into it; it used to not do this specific sound bug before.
I am currently also working on some fundamental changes to prevent bugs like these to happen in the future.
edit: I simply disabled the sound until we figure out the underlying issues. This change will also go live in the next public version.
why does the game loop after the get-together? everytime i choose who to spend time with brym gets amnesia and we do it all over again.
It should be fixed with the next release. Thank you for letting us know.
Hi,
I was wondering if the game can run on adroid version higher then 11, my new A55 (runs android 14) cant install the game bc its " Incompatible with my device" when i try it over an android virtual machine on my phone it atleast gives me a clearer error, " install failed, No matching ABIS".
I read that this could be because of the Cpu architecture or smt similar, is this true, if yes is there a fix?
I would really apreciate if someone could help me with this.
Hey there, Lone_Wanderer here,
I can check later on if the game runs on later Android versions. I just happened to get myself a new Android phone this month. My old one was running Android 8 which is what I was using to test the Android builds.
I imagine the reason why there might be some incompatibilities is because the game is still running on Godot 3.
I have been slowly working on fixing underlying engine code, but I can't give you an ETA when I will be finished. The kind of stuff I am working on should also take care of save file bugs.
edit: My current phone is running Android 14 and I can confirm that I get the same error message. But it lets me install the game anyway and it does work.
We'll investigate further. The error message "No matching ABIS" is specific to emulators it seems, however, it does give us a pointer to work with. I imagine we might have to update our android spk.
edit2: It should be fixed now. Let me know if it runs or not.
Hi,
The game now Installs perfectly without any errors.
Thank you for fixing this problem.
Have a nice day. (:
So is this another dead furry game? Because this is getting from aggravating to just plain sad
while im not on patreon, from what i can see from the public side, they have an update possibly planned for later this month for patreons, which means we should get an update soon after
Im waiting for a kovle route
So happy with how far things have progressed with Brym... he's so cute and I love a protective man. Can't wait for more with him, hes the best!
The game is very fun and everything about it is very charming, be it the characters or the story. I recommend it to everyone who likes the genre
Man, the story of this game is simply incredible! I started playing without much expectation and was very positively surprised by what you delivered. The characters are spectacular and the story captivated me and involved me so much that I feel anxious for the next updates.
A big applause for the script, the characters, the arts and the scenes, everything is very well done and I hope it continues with this same quality in future updates.
I feel bad for not being able to help you financially, but I guarantee that my words are true when I say that the game is incredible. Your work is excellent and I hope you gain more recognition.
PS: I hope for hot scenes with Brym 7w7
After been saved.
"Meow, Azorin my hero, wanna marry me?"
=^.~=
Seems i cannot erase or move the file ever since i downloaded it. Why?
Finally got around to a scene with a certain detective and it's got me twirling my hair like a fuckin idiot
