VN Kai is my favorite and my "canon" love interest to Eco ^^

I really liked the demo! I was actually thinking while reading that the Zenalyrian would prolly have a superiority complex and was happy to see my prediction was right! 

Kai and Atticus are prolly my favorite characters from the demo.

Not to say I dont like Eco and Acadia they just need some time to grow from their biases.

Also prolly a minority here but im intriqued by vulperus. He just kinda screams red herring and him being an 'alien' is truly interesting. I wonder how he'll develop alongside the rest of the cast

I love Vulterus too. He's actually my favorite character in the whole game <3 (Don't tell anyone)

มันคือ VN น่าสนใจเหมือนกัน แต่ผมเชื่อว่ามันไปได้ไกลกว่านี้ ผมไม่มีอะไรจะพูดมากนัก แต่ขอพูดไว้ก่อนว่ามันดีแต่ยังไม่ดีที่สุด แต่ผู้เขียนอาจจะชอบเนยถั่วเพราะผมเห็นว่ามีการพูดถึงมันบ่อยมาก (ขออภัย ณ จุดนี้ถ้าภาษาอังกฤษไม่ดี)

I can't seem to start the visual novel for some reason since I downloaded it for Linux, extracted the file, and tried to play it. When I did, an error or something popped up, so this is what popped up.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 288, in script

    python:

ScriptError: could not find label 'start'.

HI! Thank you so much for the error code. I personally am just the writer of the visual novel, so the tech stuff is a bit over my head, but we are aware that there is an issue for Linux. I BELIEVE (don't quote me on this. I will get in contact with my software guy to see about the fix) But some other people say if you rename the game file (it currently is written as "Game") if you just rename it to "game" (Lowercase.) It might fix your issue! let me know if that helped!

Okay, will do.

Of course! Let me know if it worked!

Damn loved this himbo already! Also, I can sense there will be 3 routes incoming and can't wait to see where this routes lead me. And the eye candy too, makes me envy to get that kind of body. I'll be waiting for your next update with HIGH patience 

Thank you so much for your comment <3 I love him too haha. I'm so very glad you enjoyed the first section! I can't wait to release more content for you to enjoy!

A bit of feedback:
1. You supply the linux python distribution and executable with the "*-pc.zip" file, so you can mark that file as compatible with linux.
2. I recon, "Game" directory should be renamed to "game" (all lower case). Since "Reconnected.py" is looking for "game" directory, it should be named accordingly. Otherwise currently it has to be renamed manually to be able to launch the game under linux.
3. Black font on dark blue background is rather hard to read, in my opinion. Talking about the itch page.
4. The story describes the only character, that currently has a sprite, as absolutely massive, while the sprite is very "normal" in terms of usual sprite-to-scene ratio. Maybe something here needs adjustment? Maybe it's the lack of any reference as of now, I'm not sure. 
Otherwise, good read and an interesting premise for a first build. 

Thank you so much, I can definitely mark it down as compatible with Linux and rename the file the be all lowercase within the next update. And yes, it's hard to get a frame of reference for Kai when there's no one else on screen to compare him to, but other than a specific character, no one really goes above his lower chest

Really enjoyed and excited to follow and see where it leads! Also, not my "straight" roomie calling us musky! D: haha. Keep it up and I'll continue to eagerly await more to see where this goes! <3

We thought he was musky haha, not the other way around lol! I'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤️ next content update is in april!

Kai calls us out for being musky if we prioritize being a good roommate over having good hygiene by showering shampooless :p

Agree to disagree, Main Character  (Despite Atticus' current lack of visuals, I really liked his character). Sure hope there's choices to show interest in him later, ngl more interested in him than Kai haha 👀

It's all part of the plan. All part of the plan :) Trust my cooking, and you'll get some good food haha :D! So glad you like Atticus's character! What's in store for him over his character arc is definitely going to be interesting, to say the least!

(1 edit)

I'm genuinely so excited to see where this goes! In this first version alone there's a good hour or two worth of reading, following a consistent well written and well thought out plot. 10/10 will keep an eye out for future updates

(+1)

Damn! You read FAST!! It took me like 2.5-3 hours to read through this!!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it! The next update is scheduled for the end of April! Thanks so much for your interest!

Haha I guess I do, can't wait!

Really promising, will closely follow the development!!

Kai's design and personality are delightful tpo, can't wait for more ! 🙌

(+1)

So glad you enjoyed it! The next update is going to be introducing SO much stuff, I can't wait to finish it!

(1 edit)

Simply amazing! Never felt this on edge reading something! The plot, the lore.. it's all brilliant! It's like drinking an infinite dose of dopamine.

I love the idea of a sci-fi visual novel where you get to explore another planet and the culture and see all the interesting characters and/or species with it! I think this is mainly because I am in love with space and space travelling in general; the universe is just so fascinating!
Although, I'm a little sad at a certain somebody being straight, haha!

Amazing visual novel, I am really looking forward for more <3.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️ I work on the visual novel every day, and I'm going to be adding in so much cool stuff, effects, sprites, images etc. in the next update! This first build is just the test drive haha :)

Which is why I am so excited for more! This already swept me off my feet, and I cannot wait for what more you have to offer! You've got yourself atleast one hungry reader here, haha~!

i love the art style

I'm so glad! @vitaly4321 is the artist, go follow him on Twitter for more of his work!

Self-insert main romanceable character?

A pretty good start, and longer than I expected from a first build. Looking forward to where this goes.

Also kudos to having a shower scene that actually had meaning later. I felt my eyes roll back in my skull when it came, then was very pleasantly surprised when it had meaning later.

So glad you enjoyed it! Most all of the dialogue options will be weighted towards the endings, and have results later on in the story (There are a few exceptions to this of course because I want the visual novel to be interactive :D) I can't wait for you to read the next update! Thank you so much for reading! The next build will include the sprites for Acadia and Atticus, and more backgrounds.

I really enjoyed reading first build and already can't wait for next one! Do you have any plans to open something simillar to patreon like boosty? I have troubles with Patreon in my country(Russia) but i'd love to support the vn

Thank you so much for reading! I'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤️ I don't have any plans to start something outside of patreon, so if you want to support me and the visual novel, all you need to do is leave it a 5 star review, and that would make me one happy lad ❤️❤️. Thanks again for reading, AkimaK, I'll make you proud!

Will do and perhaps i'll find a way to deal with pateron, also do you have any idea when next build will come out for public?

I intend to have the next build out in a month!

Not a bad first build! I'd have liked a bit more consideration into the realism of space travel. I think it would've helped the world building. Since the MC is from Titan, he'd've had some trouble adjusting to a planet's high gravity and would not be used to a natural atmosphere with different gas concentrations. This might've been a bit more realistic than the 'star sickness' approach you took. I'm a massive sucker for hard sci-fi, so I am definitely biased in this opinion though! Otherwise it was a great first build and I am looking forward to seeing how the story progresses!

Super interesting idea! Thanks so much for the feedback <3 the reasoning I took with my approach was the playable character spent the last two months in training to adjust to Zenalyr's planetary conditions, and getting used to space travel! I also (albeit briefly) mentioned the teraforming generators on his home that adjust the planet to be more or less standardized to other habitable planets. I could definitely go back and add in more Sci-Fi to those descriptions!

(1 edit)

As for the star sickness, well I guess you'll just have to read the next section when it comes out to see what happens in regards to that haha 😉 


Thank you so much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Promising start. Curious to see where the romance storyline goes, given what we learn about Kai. Looking forward to the next update.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 The updates are being written every day! I can say that the romance line is going to be one of the most interesting character arcs I have ever written, and that I'm so excited for you all to read it haha.

My only criticism is Arcadia. She needs to be rework. The idea of her being salty to Eco throughout isn’t appealing

(1 edit)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I assure you Acadia's character undergoes a lot of development and changes in the next update of the game, and she has her reasons for being salty haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it <3

(1 edit)

It was ok, just needs to be finalized. And I see the reasons why but maybe tune it down a bit since Eco is clearly the good guy here

I disagree with the notion that Eco is clearly the good guy since to me, he has a tendency to be pretty dickish shortly after meeting other people. I figured that was intentional though, since the story seems to be about overcoming prejudices and snap judgements, of which Eco, as well as everybody else, is guilty.

Is the story linear? I feel the choices are there just for brief alternate reactions and no impact towards the story.

There are multiple endings, and your choices have serious weight!

Omg that damn smirk always gets meee 😫

Love it 🙏
