tempting...
very tempting

*dangles dating game slots over you until you cant say no~*

mmmm what's the starting bid?

I hope the auctions don't get too high...but I'm sure they will =____=

Lawl. I can never tell. im just worried it wont get any interest ^^;

Pretty sure you will be fine. Good luckl with this, I'll cast my bid but I know I'll be quickly sniped by someone bidding it up into ridiculous amounts of money

TwT .... I wish. I wish man. That would be totally awesome. Im really worried its gonna be a bit of a flop ^^;
I havnt been updating my fa recently and i dont know if anyone is watching this space *sighs*

Im sure you will be fine, for my own selfish reasons I hope there is at least 1 slot that doesn't go up to unthinkable levels of money and I can actually include a character in this

there are a lot of slots available for this. i almost doubt they will all get filled up. ^^;
i think you will definitely get in so long as you bid anything ^^

Thats good to know

Oh god...

I so wouldn't mind having silvie in this owo

Im gonna try and make the auctions seriously accessible for every one.
These puppy loves are a seriously fun project to get every one involved in ^^!

I'd love to bid owo

WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OPEN D:<
He'd be the quiet expressive one that would be hard to track xD

Nods. Im worried about time zones, i want to make sure everyone gets a chance to bid for the slots their after XD

I can understand why you'd be worried ;s;

then again I can bid a whole bunch and probably be safe owo

a good question to pose for these bids is do you accept payment plans? XD

With commissions I was always ok with them, but this time I think I can't since people are gonna have to prove they can back up their bid before I can go ahead. ^^i
This is the first time I've tried something like this so it will be an experiment for me too!

I hope it'll work out fine for everyone, games should be fun, ne?

ah I see xD
Well if that's the case I spose I'll have to sit out of this one since i don't get paid till next month anyways xD

I'm fairly certain that you'll get alot of business on this :D

and games shall be fun yush ^-^

This sounds like such an awesome project! >w< just wish I had the cash to contribute in some way, but good luck all the same :3

Well it will be an aucton! Im thinking of making the minimum bid 1 dollar. When it opens you can be the first to bet a dollar XD

yay, I can get folks going xD

but I might play smart, maybe save up and do one of the last few bids, I'm sneaky, me XP

How you planning on doing payments, so I know ahead of time? ^^

Ill do it all through FA journals and Pay pall ^^~ same way i do everything XD

Well, I'll figure something out hopefully ^^;

Also just played it, awesomely funny XD

Though this is gonna sound kinda scummy to offer, but I'm a third year game design student, so if you need any extra hands, feel free to let me know ^^;

Dont feel scummy, i want all the help and advice you could possibly offer! Im not a game design student so i could always use advice!

Well, its hard to advise without knowing much about how youre going about things, but throw me a note and we'll talk shop without flooding your submission with comments X3

Comments are fun though!
Well the big thing we're discussing right now is what platform to use. Novelty was great for creating the demo game but it does have some issues, particularly the mac compatibility thing.

Well, while it is the standard to go to in terms of design, Game Maker is a good means to go about it, hell, a lot of games on Steam were made using game-maker, though it'd require learning how it works.

I have no experience with Novelty, but thats my take on it, its an easy tool to learn but I dontk now if its much of an improvement

Just called 'Game Maker' huh?

Yup, simple as that, lemme grab you a link:

http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/windows

Its used as a teaching tool in my university course so worth a looksee

"Now you can die from Insults?" I laughed so much on that XDDD
I dont know much about programing but it all looks rly nice just so far Ive played it twice and I always die XD
Can wait to see more of it

Lawl, thats how i remember highschool~ It was a slurry of embarrassing moments followed by death. well...death metal at least.

Must get...character slot!

*dangles tantalizing slot over you*

oh god this would be sick to be actioned into. im down haha

*stupid grin* Im glad you gusta

Holy crap, I kept seeing your posts but never thought you were actually making a game! Will the full version cost? I'd definitely be interested. Also, since this is all furry goodness i'm curious, will any of it get dirty? Knowing how the general bend of the fandom often goes heh.

Thats right~ I infact DID get round to it ^^ *purrs* And well.. as far as XXXraiting goes, i wanted to ask here?
Do yo think the preference would be if it was a bit raunchy, and if so... like full blown echi or what?

THE RAUNCHIER THE BETTER!!! >:D

I'd say keep it eechi at best. Make it suggestive, but not full on nudity.

The reason why I say it cause of several reasons. For one, you don't want the players to play it cause there's some raunchiness to it (unless that'd be your full intentions). It may distract those to why the game was made in the first place. 2nd, too much smex/nudity in the game may make the game too 'tasteless.' Your main selling point should be the story and conflict the character goes through.

This is my 2 cents on the matter.

THE RAUNCHIER THE BETTER!!! >:D

Well, it could be nice. A few scenes, maybe wait till near the end, maybe after been with the character a long while? Personally, i'd like to see a little but wouldn't be upset if there was none. As long as the game was fun to play that is what is important

The full version will be free to play online~ also im taking votes on the XXX rating.
at first i thought it should be clean, but there's a strong vote for at least echi >w<

A little cheesecake is always nice hehe.

ohh i would love to snag a slot for this game, i have the perfect character i have been having lots of fun with lately <3

^w^ Great! I want as many people as possible to get involved and have fun!

Download faster damn you!!!

When does the auction start? :3

next week. ^^ it will go on for a couple of days to make sure anyone interested gets a chance.

Sweet!!! Time to imortilize mahself!!!

Awwww....how come all the awesome stuffi s happening when I'm out of money. Meh. I doubt i could get in anyway. I only have like, 100 or 50 bucks to spend a month. XD still, I bet I could have fun playing it.

With as many character slots as there are available I'm sure you could snag one! I'm really trying to make it as accessible as possible. But yes, it should be a blast to play even if you don't bid.

No.


I refuse to play or take part in a dating game where the health bar represents your self esteem. That has to be the WORST idea for a health gauge I have ever encountered, and if the demo was any indicator, I want nothing to do with a game as lacking in intelligence and tact as this.

I have played a few really bad Visual Novels in my time, but this is obviously going to be a pretty bad one. Story-wise alone, again if the demo is any indicator, this is going to be nothing more than the main character getting laughed at until he DIES for hours on end. Seriously you guys, you couldn't find any better thought processes behind a Life Bar? We had to make it "oh well if you lose all your self-esteem, at the end of the day you go home and KILL YOURSELF" or something else equally asinine?


This is bollocks, and the engine sadly also makes even Nai's exceptional artwork look like a total joke. 0/10, won't play, won't buy.

I am not sure what's wrong with the 'life bar' name of it. For a school setting, it seems to make total sense IMO. The story and feel of it itself is a mere parody of a high school life. Ya know, bullies, BFF (Best friends forever), romance interest, teacher conflict, and more. The game seems to be made to make a joke about it.

I think the problem here is that you're reading too heavily on the game image itself. The game was not meant to be serious at all from the looks of it. I also suggest well....SUGGESTING how to make the game better instead of just bashing at it. You could've simply said 'I really dislike the name of 'self esteem.' Do you think it's possible to name it something else like (insert your suggestion).'

Gosh... thats a pretty rough response. ^^; If you have some suggestions on what you think would work better i would love to hear them.
The point of the demo was to get some good feedback, but its hard to deduct anything constructive from what you've said other than "give up"
Could you suggest what you would do to fix the problems you see as apparent? If not im just left unsure how to direct the team working on this game.
^^;

Okay, after giving it some serious thought, I have come up with a bullet list of things I disliked about the game.


1.) The Self-Esteem bar. Now, personally, this is probably me being overly sensitive, but even if you guys were JOKING that the main character would die from losing all self-esteem, you should have realized that joke is in poor taste. Because, quite frankly, people do die from lack of self-esteem. By killing themselves. I have lost people close to me like this once too often in life, so I think I should know what I am talking about. A different explanation in the finished version would be a much preferred direction. Suggestions I can think of would be (although I don't like any of these much either): He was ostracized by his former friends and peers so much he just gave up on ever being popular or dating, he was so embarrassed by the way he was treated that he moved/dropped out/became home-schooled, or (and this is the best option I've got so far for the self-esteem route) You can hve him wake up back at the beginning of the day, saying that his failure was just a terrible terrible bad dream.

Now, I have also come up with an alternative! It took me a day or so to come up with it, but it could very easily replace the Self Esteem meter, and frankly, for purposes of the game, wouldn't change a thing except the seriousness of failure. Replacing Self-Esteem with Popularity. Let's be honest, High School was never anything more than a popularity contest for some people, and if the education is crappy, then being popular is all that matters. If you lose all your popularity... well, your social life is as good as dead, so you could explain it that way. The main character doesn't die, but his/her hopes of being Prom King/Queen would certainly be dead in the water. No suicide, no dark overtones, no bad jokes, just a little slice of reality from the world of High Schools in Anime.


2.) The Self-deprecating humor. Specifically, the jokes the narrator made about the fandom and furries in general. Now don't get me wrong, I like a good joke as much as the next guy, but in future, please, PLEASE try to write yourself away from the stereotyping jokes or bad (often false) generalizations. You can make fun of furry life and even the fandom if you really want to, but make sure the jokes aren't just pulled straight from Urban Dictionary, Encyclopedia Dramatica, 4chan, or any other anti-furry source. Again, this one's just a peeve, but it left a welt in my mind.


3.) The engine itself. Honestly, it looks pretty bad. The low resolution on the screen textures very much clashed with your high-quality artwork, and it frankly looked mish-mashed. Now, I know that his was simply a demo, and I realize that you guys may not actually be able to fix the in-game graphics or replace the engine, but I have to be honest about it, because even for a demo, it looked VERY unpolished, and not at all like something I would expect to pay for. Even if the game ended up being free, I would still say it looks wonky. The biggest thing this does (and what the overall tone of the demo itself did) is destroy Immersion. I couldn't relate at all to Houzie, or anyone in the game for that matter, because almost everyone was written very strangely. The interface just made things worse by looking very out-of-place.


Finally, the last thing that killed the demo for me was pretty simple.

4.) Attitudes. Jesus god, even among popular people I have never met ANYONE who was as big a jerk as some of these people came off to be. This may have been a simple case of not having a whole lot of choice for characters for the demo, but honestly? I think the protagonist(s) should be original anyway. For one, it makes them more relatable, even if they aren't your favorite species, and for two, it gives them a blank slate personality, which the story helps to fill in as the game progresses. This has often been the big reason for main characters being likeable or not in these types of games, if you define them too much as a character to begin with, you will alienate parts of your target audience. Even if you only give them a choice between one personality type or another, just the option of choosing which way to go will make your main character TONS more human and win the audience over that much quicker.


Now personally, if it were me, I'd like to see a choice of *many* different protagonist species, but something tells me that within the limits of this slightly underpowered game engine, the most we're like to see is two or possibly three, and if the furry standard holds, it'll be a Lupine or Canine Male, a Feline or Vulpine Female, and a Hermaphrodite or Intersexed character of some unusual species choice. I'm not saying that these should or should not be the choices made, but it would be nice to see a little variety from a big project like this.


Now, I may have been overly harsh when I rated the game 0/10, I was having a really terrible day. This is at least competently executed for a demo, even if a lot of the choices made were (in my view) somewhat unprofessional and extremely disheartening. At lowest, I'd give this demo a 4/10, it's passable, but it didn't exactly fill me with anticipation for the full game.

Despite my harsh criticisms, I will continue to follow this project with marked interest, just in case any future demonstrations answer and/or fix the issues I have presented.

Now, I'm not going to be egotistical and hope that all my suggestions are followed to the letter, as I realize this is *your* baby, not ours, but I hope my extreme reaction did its job and at least got the lot of you thinking about ways to improve the game and it's concept further.

Thank you very much for giving us your thoughts and feedback~!
I've read your response and taken the notes on board. This will probably remain 'not your cup of tea' as game projects go but your concerns are valid and we'll look into them.
Thanks for getting involved. ^_^

You're welcome, and again, I'm sorry I came off so harshly to begin with.

I'll be keeping an eye on this project, as I said, just in case it hits a turning point and things start to look more promising.

Oh mai! I'm gonna have to hit you with all the lawsuits ever! Totally original characters do not stealz or...

...

...yeah I can't even pretend to keep that up. Super neat! It's nice to see you being so productive and busy and its amusingly fun to see mah chars lurking about in a game. Even if it is just the demo. I hope you get all the funs and funds ever. :D

So.. gonna see a fog machine in DMFA anytime? XD

Thanks miss mab. I was tossing between asking your permission first and making it a surprise.
in the end i left it a surprise. I don't imagine too much will come of this so i figured its kinda like seriously labor intensive fan art. ^^

I really love your sense of humor and writing style. if you have any other recomendations let me know here, or just PM me like usual. ^^!

It was a really fun surprise. I hope your game does well. One of the things I liked most about it was the humor. :3

I do say, the game was pretty fun to play.

One of the things I liked about it was the conflict with the narrator and the main hero. I say have him ressurected so he could torture the hero some more/do some gags.

The jokes themselves were very good. Entertaining at best. Peer pressure in high school can seriously kill ya. lol.

As of yet, the only problem I see in the demo so far is how to recover your self esteem. In the demo, no matter which thing I chose, I always lost no more then 10 points. If the challenge of it all is trying to lose as less self esteem as possible, they would indeed be cool. Can you go into more detail about this?

I WANT TO PERSONALLY SAY I LIKE HOW SHRED TALKS LIKE THIS. IT FEELS SO CANNON, AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT. I WAS GONNA SAY IT NEEDS SOME EXCLAMATION POINTS, BUT NAH. TALKING LIKE THIS IS BETTER CAUSE IT STILL GIVE A SENSE THAT HE'S SHOUTING (JUST LIKE IN ALL OF SHONUFF'S WORKS WHEN HIS CHARACTERS TALK).

looking forward to the full release of the game.

Oh, I thought of what I suppose to suggest to you.

I suggest making two main characters for players to choose from, the other being a woman. Reason why I say this is cause not many may want to play a male character, so options for either would be helpful to the player.

Ah, if you only lost 10 each time, you must have picked all the best options. The others lose you 20, 30 or 40.

Because the demo was just to show how the actual game will work, I made it fairly obvious in the wording as to which choices were bad and good. In the full game, there'll be far more choice-points, and they'll be more ambiguously worded. :) It'll be much easier to die by halfway through the game if the player isn't careful. We may also implement self-esteem recovery; again, it'll depend on how long these chapters end up being. It would certainly be a nicer flavour if players can make a choice that goes "well" rather than just "less bad".

In this game, which, again, isn't intended to be any kind of a challenge - just a quick runthrough so people can see all of it - the goal is just to get to the end credits without dying. However, the full game will have multiple endings dependent on earlier choices, and will poooosssibly offer you a chance at a bonus ending or two if you can scrape through with significantly more than minimum self-esteem. <.< >.>

Also, your other question - whether the main character is male or female will depend on who wins the "main character" auction. However, if we get a huge amount of interest, we could maybe build around a choice-of-two-or-more-main-characters model to open it up for more people to get involved.

And I'm glad you enjoyed THE HOOPRAGE. >w>

I would suggest two being the maximum of main characters, since that'll be less stress and hassle for the game. Good to know about the point logic behind it.

I demand there be 'Slam Jam' music playing during this HOOOPAGE. it would make it COMPLETE. LOL

Thank you for explaining this ^_^

^^; Yeah, gotta admit, I agree, more than two characters would take a lot of time. We're using the Novelty engine, and because of the way it handles variable-based threads, even two characters would mean essentially making two games stuck together - unless we characterized the two different player options blandly enough to make them indistinguishable, in terms of what scenes and/or dialogue they'd encounter, which would be dull as balls.

We might juuuust be able to manage a "Slam Jam" death-metal tribute, but don't hold me to that. :p

And no probs, it's neat to have people so interested!

Fog machine. I like that :D

Girls flip for them. Everytime.
Posers bring buckets of dry ice.
Pros bring their own fog machine.

I need a fog machine for the next time I play hockey and get onto the rink.

Chicks dig fog machines?

Chicks dig goalies. :D

Best combination ever!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FULL ONE

Hopefully you won't have to wait long!

EEEEEEEEEE YAY

i really liked the demo cant wait for the real one

Glad to hear that!
If you have any feedback I've love to hear it! What did you like? What didn't you like?

>w< lawl, i was still worried that everyone i put in it would be seriously offended XD.
Ill try to make sure the auction is really accessible to everyone!
there are a lot of slots available for the game so im sure everyone will get a chance~

^w^ Great to have you on board!

I wish I could try for a slot but I don't have money TT-TT
I await the game tho, will it be free?

Lawl, Yuppers. There will be a free version online! If i do it in flash i can put it up on new grounds.
I want to put together a collectors version that people can buy if they are interested as well ^^

how much for a a slot?

The slots will be auctioned ^^ so depending on how much interest there is, it could be anything ^^;
(still expecting there to be very little interest)

"Also, sorry to all you Mac or Linux users, this game is for PCs only ^^;"
Have you tested if it works under WINE? It might work under WINE so there's still hope if you haven't tested that.

I did wonder about emulation; we've got no Linux machines available to test on, but we do have a Macbook that could run the OS X port of WINE.

My only concern was that Novelty's engine, being a beta itself, might be too buggy to run in an emu environment, but it's well worth a go. I'll look into it. It would be nice to not deprive all the poor Mac users. ;^;

Another option, if Novelty proves too unstable and emu doesn't help, is we might go back to Renpy, it's cross-OS-compatible - although, just having learned Novelty, I would miss its features.

<troll> But... carbonation to nutralize an acid detonator..? But... Carbonation creates carbonic acid >:L </troll>

I feel like a freshman again xD

I tried to troll myself by sticking in the worst CSI-level bullshit-science-gobbledygook I could. It made me feel dirty. @ n @ Now you have called me out on it, my soul can rest in peace. :p

Dang it! I would try anf buy a slot! but.... grrrg.... i only have munny the first of every month! I hate full disability sometimes.

lawl. It never hurts to bid >w< specially while the numbers are low...
im just worried no one will bid at all ^^;

ill bid! but no gurintie on munny till next month.

internets why you so mean to houzu >:o *self-esteem meter plummets* oh NO! :o



\\Seriously awesome stuff Nai!thank you so much.

Lawl. Thank you for being our crash test dummy >w<
It was really fun having you as the star of our first game XD
I should totally draw you at the front of a red carpet release XD!

the bouncer should be

"youre not on the list"
"but i'm the main character of the beta!"

Ahahahaha. That's so canon now. :D

Seconded on what Nai said, it was fun having you in the game, man. Thanks!

Didn't feel like a game yet, but a very fun demo, I'm looking forward to the real deal! :)

Oooh! Do you have any recomendations while the game is still a demo?
I want to get all the feedbacks i can before we invest a lot of studio time into the real version ^^!

Well... the few choices we were presented with were meant to demo the mechanics of the game, but it felt very constrained.
I understand this is still a demo and a WIP, but i felt a bit like t I couldn't really see which choices were better than the others, except for the falina fight.
Of course there must be some level of difficulty and consequences for the player's actions, but since all the choices I made just made me loose more or less points, it didn't feel like those choices were very meaningful, since I lost points every time, even when I thought I'd done a good choice with Falina.

Now, I am unsure as to there is any way to regain points, as I have not seen any evidence of this in the demo.
(mind you, I've only had the chance to play the game one time, and I'm sure I've missed a lot)

But considering the length of the demo, there weren't that many choices to make, and so to see what the other choices change you would have to go through all of it again.
I know you can skip ahead with the space bar, but after finishing the game the first time i didn't really feel like replaying immediately through all of it.
A save or checkpoint feature, or a menu for the tutorials, would maybe make re playability more valid.


My suggestion would be to include a short and simple explanation of the game mechanics (how to win or loose points) at some point at start. which could then be taught to the player via the tutorial after. Maybe the choices the player would be presented with after that would be clearer.

Basically, I feel difficulty is a good thing in a game, but the challenges should be easier at the start of the game, so the player can understand the consequences of each type of action. before he is subjected to them later.

I apologize for the messy explanation, but it's 2 am here and I just got back from work. -_-'

There is actually a save function; it's accessible from the in-game menu, or from the window options at the top. If people aren't spotting it, I'll make it part of the game's instructions in the title screen.

It's interesting to note what you say about the choices and points; our original design was for a setup that was very much about "survival", that you're going to lose points either way, and that victory is just making it through to the end. But the kind of inherent negativity in that, seems to be the main thing people are picking up on in more detailed critiques such as yours, so I'm open to shifting the design of the full game accordingly. It would make it easier to have more choices without making them too huge and monolithic, and could certainly give players more of a sense of achievement.

Making it a survival game isn't a bad idea in itself, but then I would suggest that you be more precise in the tutorial. It wasn't clear if there was away to gain point.
When I lost points in the demo they went down very fast one time and very low the other. At the end I think I had lost half my points.
If the player looses that many points on one choice, how long one play-through supposed to be?
Does the character loose after only three bad choices?
I don't mind if some catastrophic choices exist, or immediate death choices, but making do all choices in the game make the player loose the same amunt of points?
Are there not some choices that are more important or more devastating than others?

Like I said before, a sinple and short ecplanation of the gameplay before the tutorial would be helpful. :)


More testing would be in order to find a balance to the points system so it doesn't feel like the player is going to loose very quickly, whatever he does, perhaps?
If it is to feel like survival then the player must as least have some points of respite between the tension, to feel and realise he is indeed surviving.

Thanks, it's good to know exactly where we need to be specific in the tutorial. That said, in this one, you'll find, the main character is told by the narrator - in the second scene - that he can't gain points, only lose them. I'll try to make it more obvious in the full one, probably with a separate "How to Play" section that can be accessed from the title screen or in-game menu.

We have already tested the numbers, as you say, but the heavy point losses are intentional in this case. The choices in the finished game will involve far less severe point losses - as there'll be more of them, of course, and we're not going to try and make the game un-clockable. However, for the demo, it being short and having just a few choices, I wanted players to still be able to see the game-over screen if they picked the worst ones. I assumed that if we made the demo in such a way that the player actually couldn't die if they tried, people might feel it was a tad incomplete. :p

The point losses are not the same for each individual answer you choose, or all this would be a bit pointless (pun not intended.) You start the game with 100 points of self-esteem; answers, depending on how good/bad their outcomes are, lose you 10, 20, 30 or 40 points, and the gauge will decrease accordingly. (As said, the numbers will be smaller and more precise in the final version; for example, a rather bad choice might cost you 10, or a not-very-bad choice, 3. Point-neutral outcomes and/or particularly-good-outcomes-that-restore-points will be included too, I think.)

Well, as I said, I've only had a a chance to play it once, so I missed alot of things. :)
It looks like you're doing a great job though, keep it up, I'll be looking forward to playing. ^^

lol really enjoyed the demo
dieing from insults XD

I know right! You can thank the brilliant  Corillion for that. Hes our resident game designer.
Im seriously looking forward to making more furry game junk with him. ^^

alecrast will be the most hottest looking girly ribbon boy at the school lololol *grabs a pack of ribbons*

A couple slot huh?
Well some roles in the game are established as sets so I'm sure if you just make it clear that the pair of you are gunning for a particular set of paired roles it would work out ok.
It'll all be clearer when I post up the auction roles poster. ^^

In know the game it's going to be awesome *download the demo*
Awww i want to be in the game sadly i'm more than broke TT

Lawl. its not gonna be that big. Im worried no one will bid ^^;

An the bid probably rice a good amount of money for the proyect ^^
I still have some problems here but i hope everything get better soon.

*Hugs* All the best, Silnat

I'll see how far this auction goes. Expecting a little over $300 a spot.

Lawl. There are a few people saying that, but i really dont know if it will be that big ^^;
It would be so awesome if it was though ^^! i guess im gonna have to push hard on the promotion!

The demo was pretty good. I look forward to this game.
Now if only I had actually had a character that had concept art.

Yeah we'll need visual reference!
I am happy you liked playing it, please let us know which parts you liked most and anything you had trouble with. ^_^

When I think visual novels, smut comes to mind. Is there any?

Well Puppy Loves have always been pretty raunchy but we're going for echi rather than smut

Ooooh ! I totally wanna play this , I love visual novels and the art style is so cute and what's the starting bid i wanna be in it i wanna be in it :D
Wait wait wait does it have to be my fursona or can it be any of the characters I've ever drawn EVERRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSS
*spaz*

It can be totally any character of yours that you own. :D There's no reason for us to restrict it to just someone's main fursona.

h-how much >w< I'd give just about anything to see my cutie lizard in a game >w<

WAIT.
Is it just male characters?
I have some pretty fly females too o3o

Of course it's open to all genders!
It'll all be clear when I upload the auction poster later this week. ^_^
I'm very happy to have your support!

Do you know if, perhaps, maybe, well do you have a payment plan XD I WOULD have money but my dad cancelled the yardsale till the first week of september >w> So the most money I have will come from doing menial tasks and i won't nearly have enough until SEPTEMBA comes around I think XDDD....
so on the off-chance that I win the auction, can I pay you in chunks XD

Unfortunately I can't accept payment plans or it would be to easy for people to just lie about their bids. v.v Normally I'm totally chill about that kind of thing, but I can't do it with an auction model. Buut~ This won't be the last Puppy Love game, so basically there will always be a next-time!

SUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERB :D

It wasn't easy! Try it out!

Well that was a hell of a surprise to wake up to heheh
It seems you have given me a reason to hookup my Windows box

^w^ I hope you'll enjoy it Kyo! I'm flattered that you're still using that Puppy Love icon! *hugs*
Sorry it's not mac compatible at this stage. Glad you have a windows box ^^

*hugs* hell yes! Love this pic, thanks for randomly choosing my character, now that's a flatter to a purple! Muchs <3's!

So I finally got around to playing it hehehehhe
Love it x3

A dating sim? Lets take it for a spin and see how it goes...

Hope you enjoy! Please feel free to tell me what you did and didn't like about it. ^^

Might as well get big questions out of the way dealing with gameplay.

1.) Will the final version allow for a character selection? Or are we stuck with Startledawg?

2.) Will there be any variance in play-throughs? (example: Character X meets main character early on but in another play-through previously unseen Character Y shows up while Character X comes in much later) Gonna guess no due to the amount of effort it would take to add that kinda feature.

3.) Chest high walls and QTEs? (hur hur hur)

think about something disgusting to throw up the bomb in my stomach. Wait we are furries what disgusts us? Consensual sex in the missionary position. Throws up Huaah Huaah Huuuhuah Huaah i hate you but the bomb didn't come out. Hahaha
Lol who writes the dialogue it's so funny!
