Conway

This VFN has to be one of the most well thought out ones on the platform imo. I just love all the historical aspects of Conway and the art style compliments it so well! 

What's more is that I've been scrolling through the comment section here for a while, and I love to see how you manage to respond to pretty much every comment. I understand that it's difficult to respond to comments sometimes just due to having the time for it, yet you do it anyways. Ever since Soulcreek finished, I believe Conway has some of the most potential on Itchi.io right now. Great work! 

(Wolf is a cutie patootie, you can't convince me otherwise) 

A HISTORICALLY GROUNDED FURRY VN WITH EXTREMELY CUTE CHARACTERS SET IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE HISTORICAL PERIODS, AND IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF SAID HISTORICAL PERIOD? I AM IN HEAVEN, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE JUST FAINTED, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Hey, just to say guys I really like your game, it really caught my imagination. I've actually made an account to make this comment, I think this game deserves more recognition. (I think it's hit me hard because I was just in Conway Wales last month and have also visited HMS Victroy last week so this really has been a great game to follow that up with). The only other game on this platform to make me feel this way was changeling tale which is also excellent. But the ambience here is top notch. If I was going to say ANY criticism, I kind of followed by the rules the whole game and the only misstep I made was the (I think scripted) Large oopsie with the lookout blunder. Still Arthur comes for me like i've been on my final warning for weeks and playing up more than Julian haha, anyhow guys keep up the great work. :)   

I have never been more confused on which route to follow through.

It's a bunch o family issues you... wait a damn minute our catboy is the therapist!

Hm... Well maybe except Nomax, he seems twisted in thought elsewhere unrelated to family.

Anyhow, anyhoo, our character is hopeless in a good way.... Maybe.

Boat.

SPOILERS PLEASE AVERT YOUR GAZE I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THE FOLDING TEXT THING SO THIS IS THE BEST I GOT LMAO

I got two questions, no pressure to answer them ofc but I’m curious.

1. Is the story planning to continue past docking in (insert country here because I don’t want to accidentally spoil someone) or is that the end all be all for the vn on all routes?
2. Not a question but I love wolf sm he’s such a cutie patootie :3 I apologize if it was answered in one of the posts or if someone has asked before but yeah :p

I'm not usually one to comment on something so *saucy*, but this really is just a must.

This is some wonderful work you and your team have put together here. I didn't realize until I saw who made Conway, but I already follow you, Nomax, on your Instagram! Your art really puts a wonderfully classical feel into my mind that just makes me light up. It perfectly encapsulates the realism--yet, imagination--required to make anthropomorphic animals seem real. The art is really great, here and otherwise, with the feel of the passion enshrined in baroque art. I feel the movement within the still, if you know what I mean? I wouldn't believe if someone said it wasn't painted on canvas. Enough fluff (:3). I hope to see this project grow!

On a rather selfish note, it is very heartwarming indeed to see more art of African wild dogs. Goodness knows I need more references. Really wonderful work, and may the seawater only drizzle on your gunwales, lest y'e want a soak? (The historical work is phenomenal!)

ive been loving this vn so much i cant wait for more sam, but what music is the main menu i really like it

Hello! First of all I'd like to say that this is the second time in my life that a game has made me think about it so much that I finally decided to share some of my thoughts (the first one was Mass Effect 3 a loooong time ago x3) - it is indeed something else when it comes to immersion, character interactions and overall vibe. Absolutely loving your work and can't wait to see more!

I'd say that one of the most immersive factors for me at least is the usage of only ambient sounds for the vast majority of gameplay, and when there's some "big" moment happening - when you can see a detailed, beautiful artwork paired with fitting, emotional soundtrack AND the descriptions to top it all off - then you can really FEEL it, it is sooo masterfully thought out!

Of course the characters themselves are the main asset of the whole novel, they might fall into some stereotypes at times but that's of course unavoidable and they are implemented really, really well nevertheless. Every single one of them has at the very least "something" interesting about them, you can feel that every one has his/her motivations, past experiences etc. that made them who they are.

I also have some thoughts regarding the plot/characters so I'll put it below leaving some free lines to hide the SPOILERS from the immediate screen space:

Okay so... there is this one part of the plot that got me, and of course I'll not be too much of an original type by saying it concerns none other than the fan favorite Samuel him(her)self and the secret/reveal concerning the character's gender, haha

I fully respect the writers' ideas and on a "plot" level I find it a very interesting addition that makes the character even more so relatable/likeable/being a target for sympathy etc. However, I do have to admit that as a player - one that is really easy to emotionally influence - I kinda felt ...betrayed? Heartbroken? None of these words are fully adequate really, because I wouldn't want to sound overly dramatic/disrespectful - but to be honest I think the main issue here is the scene with the 1st day evening/morning dreams (with nude Sam as a male), which really sets the expectations/hopes for the player. Because shortly after that there's some affectionate bonding over the sunrise, caring about and quickly falling for the character, and only afterwards (in my mind, already after the "romance" has begun really - as the player already has to "invest" time and feelings into Sam instead of other potential romances) the reveal makes it so that homosexual people, who probably were super happy to have found such a gem of a character, are... well, you know... you can't make a straight person gay or vice versa.

I'm only allowing myself for such a suggestion because according to Furscience stats, homosexual people are a really big part (around 30ish %) of the furry fandom, so it's probably not just a "me" issue - I've read some ...really salty comments about this situation. And that suggestion would be to maybe consider removing the morning dream scene, or maybe moving it into a later part of the playthrough, if the player's choices would suggest that he prefers to play a homosexual route (so it'd be more of a "what if" dream, (maybe even with some more spicy additions) and not a "can't wait for that" dream)?

Because right now it is just SO EASY to fall for Samuel in a "romantic" way from the very beginning (which kind of enables the narration that she's a "trap") - so maybe it would be better to limit it to a "platonic/friendship" level until the reveal is made? This way she can still be a player's favorite character, but, you know, more of a "sister" than a "(potential)lover".

Other than that, I really hope Nomax gets some more "affectionate" ways to romance him in the future updates, because right now I feel like a d*** to treat him like that only to have some intimate moments with him :( I'd sooo much rather progress the relationship with him in the similar manner to Sam (so investing myself emotionally before bedding someone). Or maybe Bandile could be made romanceable in the future? His personality/behavior and the player's interactions with him would set him for a perfect "boyfriend material" in this manner.

Basically what I want to say is that both Sam and Rajeeyah (at least I think she seems to be romanceable?) have their romance pacings set out so naturally - with learning a lot of backstories/motivations/emotions first, with them being tender, delicate and loveable - while the only other comparable homosexual romance is either heavily sex-oriented from the start (Nomax), or unavailable (Bandile). I suppose you could argue that both Arthur and Wolf could be treated as such, but it's not really comparable as you have to either be into the "strong/distant male" OR have meta-knowledge that they'll finally open up and/or become more affectionate.

Either way, please don't take the above ramblings as a "criticism/hate", it's more of a "I care so much about this story that I felt like i needed to voice some thoughts" - I'll be watching it unfold with great interest, it is a true work of art <3

I'm kinda confused a bit I'm pretty sure I'm on Arthur's route but I've been getting a lot of time with other characters and Samuel instead of Arthur, is that normal or did I pick a wrong choice somewhere 😭

For anyone visiting the comments looking to see if it's worth it, let me tell you it's worth it. On the onset it might get a bit overwhelming with the ship lingo, but you'll get comfy with the characters and story. 

Pacing feels good, art is beautiful, animations make things dynamic, chef's kiss all around and i commend the creators fully. Finally, Sam is my ride or die and would follow into mutiny for no questions asked. 

Alright so I was just trying to find a game to goon to but found Conway was genuinely so good I forgot why I got it, I enjoyed playing the game all the way through. I was expecting a pirate attack somewhere in the game when I saw the option to turn off violent option. I do hope you add one I wanna see how mc handles it. I do wish there was as much art as the snake guy, in mean to give a little more visual to what happening for example the scene with mc, nomax and Julian could use another art . Ps Nomax gotta be my favorite. great game I enjoyed wasting hours in the world you guys made, wish you all best of health. Thank you till next update

Hey! genuinely loving this! So much! The writing is good, it keeps to history really well (from what I know, at least) and the art is great as well! I genuinely hope you all keep creating even after Conway is finished, because I'd absolutely love to see more from all of you ^^

P.S. Amazing job with the new update btw! can't wait to see what's coming next! <3

I am loving this VN, I'm excited for the story to continue. I really hope I can help Sam achieve a certain outcome that's teased at the current ending.

What do the cheats even do

I recently picked up this VN after seeing it on YouTube, and I've been loving it so far. Zero regrets trying it out, lol. Though I do have one question involving Julian and a scene with him which I'll put below, as I cannot tell if I'm misremembering something. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? 

Spoiler warnings involving Julian below. 

I recently had a bit of time on my hands (aka it was late, probably like 3 AM and I was tired and bored lol) and after I tried the routes of all the characters, I decided to run thru some of the options in the game just to see how they play out later on within the VN. Expectedly, I tried a few different options and I swear I happened upon a less than SFW scene involving Julian, where he doesn't speak during said scene because of a uh.. lost bet I think? I believe he can only be silent for a day if you select a certain option beforehand, but that typically means you lose out on the aforementioned less than SFW scene. It was very late at the time, so in a tired stupor I didn't give the scene much thought and didn't save the game. Now I feel like I'm crazy because I haven't able to trigger this scene again.

Am I just horribly, and I mean horribly misremembering something due to my questionable memory at 3:30 AM? Or is this an actual scene that occurs? Sorry to bother, I just genuinely cannot tell if I'm recalling things correctly.

Cheers!

Its so fucking over with the new Wolf update

Looking forward to more Julian. Love that lizard gremlin. 

Absolutely fantastic work of art right here! All that's missing is a bit more music but that's just me. The characters, setting, and sense of adventure all mesh well and you owe it to yourself to try it out!

Holy shit, I finished my first walkthrough right now, and that's insane, I love it, like really love it!

You guys have big potential, and I hope you finish this, if you drop that banger in steam, I'll be first who buy your game!

I adore this VN, is absolutely fantastic! A must play for every furry and furry content enjoyer!

Rahhh this is lgit my fav Vn in here that i have found i kind of did a drawing of Nomax but gave up quickly still want to show yall tho (not to sure how to attach images so sorry if its nit there. if i do finish it properly ill send it again (:

Best VN I've yet played, and it's not even finished! Was so sad when I couldn't follow Rayjeeyah or Bandile off the ship. 

Прекрасная новелла с прекрасным стилем рисовки (персонажи очень красивые) и историей. Будет время, то прочитаю ещё с несколькими персонажами.

Удачи в разработке 🌹

Sehr schöne VN, kann man nur loben. Die Artworks sind fantastisch und die Gesichte packend, macht weiter so ♥

Would you say conways world contains homophobia ?

First, I wanted to know how to get all the cutscenes for Wolf? I swear I tried multiple ways but I can only get the last one :(

Second:

Im in love with this games writing and artstyle, the art is soo pretty and i love every character design

The writing is really good, it makes me feel like im on a ship when paired with the sound design, i really like it :) 

Samuel and Rajeeyah are such cool and refreshing characters for stories about pirates, I love them <3 but honestly I really love all of the characters, the dialogues are so fun!! I def want to learn more about the MC too

Will you be taking on more writers or looking for writers in the future?

is itch back to normality? finally i can watch this site again waiting updates
