Barely started playing and I'm already in love! The characters are so well-written and thought out, and the artwork is stunning. Only issue I've had is that there's a yellow tint on the whole screen when the dialogue bar is showing- I tried to disable it somehow but I can't. It's not horrible but it bothers my eyes a little. It goes away when I hide the dialogue bar, so I dunno.. Anyway, amazing work and I'm going to be spending a lot of time on this novel! :)
Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying your time with it. The color grading is intended to tie the scene together a bit more, and there are different ones to offer different effects depending on the scene.
if anything, it going away when you hide the UI is just something I haven't figured out how to get rid of lmao. :D
Let me start by saying that this is one of the highest quality VNs I've ever seen on this site-- or anywhere, really. The character designs are mindblowingly detailed and creative, the backgrounds are amazing, and the personality of each character here is so in-depth that I feel like I'm literally inside the world myself. When the full version of Conway releases and you all decide to make it purchasable, I will definitely buy it. Good plot, detailed characters, and genuinely an enjoyable experience.
I did see about three spelling errors in my time playing, which honestly isn't that much of an issue when the product is this top-notch. I'm pretty new to itch.io, so I only figured out how to attach one image so far, but here it is!
P.S., Samuel is my absolute favorite, l love everything about them, and can't wait to see more for their route!
Thank you very much! I'm glad that you're enjoying it that much! Yeah, I'm not a native speaker, plus just the workload that comes with making a VN. So it's always gonna be a fight to catch every and all spelling mishaps. Getting better at it, mind you, figuring out which tools help me catch them and, of course, just the help of people in the discord or elsewhere pointing my way to them.
I found it is a bit interesting when you lose to Julian in the dice game but you have a very high affection level with him. You will only show him your ass but there is no special scene at the end.
Hey guys, I've really enjoyed your novel a lot, and I'm looking forward to more from Wolf, he's one of my favorite characters. I just had a question regarding Julian's route when you play dice with Wolf and Julian. When I check the gallery, it shows there are 3 images, but I've only unlocked 2 out of 3. Is there a way to unlock the third image? It appears to be locked, and I've tried to figure out how to unlock it, but no luck so far. If you could help me out, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!
Thank you very much and I'm glad you're enjoying it! To unlock that one it should be high relationship value with Julian (so be nice to him & smack him every now and then) and then Julian needs to win the dice game.
Amazing read I love what you have done so far. Am I right in assuming the main character is mainly a top? regardless I'm extremely surprised and pleased with the 2 current options making me believe that he is. I don't think there's a single character you've created that I don't like so far I'm excited to see everything you have to offer here.
In the end, I want it to be a case of him being what the player wants him to be. That the current two options are more dominant simply is down to the fact that it makes sense that they would be earlier in the game, with the player actively wanting to be dominant and pushing for it.
But the two current scenes are not needed for the romance of the characters involved and there will be other angles to them with a different tone.
I read one of your other comments about basically everyone being bi or it not being a big deal to everyone. I think that's great news it sounds like your going to have option for everyone :) hell yea.
Thank you :D Yes, honestly it's really fun to put in small bits and pieces of historical accuracy. Said accuracy is certainly variable and increasing over time as I myself have more time to dig into things, but still. It's fun :D
I really appreciate that. It adds a lot of unique flavor to your VN.
I do have one question though -- I noticed that James and Julian are not particularly shy about their attraction to men; in fact it's never even brought up and just kind of assumed. My uneducated brain would think that kind of behavior would get you thrown off the ship. Is that just more of an acceptable break from reality in order to tell a queer story? Of course, I don't think that's a bad thing at all and the VN still feels firmly grounded in the era despite the historically inaccurate amount of animal people.
Yes, that is one of the places where I veer most heavily from it, with the reason for it simply being that it's not the story I want to tell. It would put all sorts of hurdles between the interactions that characters can have. Everyone would have to feel everyone else out even more than they already have to do as characters who, in many cases, don't have any prior history, and who are confined in a small space with dozens of other people and very little, if any, privacy.
And that is not what I want to tell in the game. It still has a heavy adult focus, so I just don't want to have that particular ball to juggle along with all the other balls that are already being juggled. It's not a casual sex world, mind you, but just a case where everyone's bisexual, everyone is fine with everyone being bisexual, so I don't have to worry about adding complete secrecy to pretty much every single relationship.
One of the best Visual Novels I have ever played! Incredible art, incredible story, incredible characters. Pretty much every single aspect of this game ticks all the right boxes for me. Thank you Nomax :)
Aw thank you very much! It's really a treat to hear that and I hope I'll be able to make sure you'll get to enjoy many new updates in the coming year. :D
Wow, just wow! I absolutely adore all of the characters, the art is beautiful, and I love the dialogue between them all. I am so glad I checked this out. Can't wait to see some art of Wolf, especially after seeing what you've done already! I am definitely following this, super excited to see more!
Thank you very much for giving it a go and Happy to hear that you're enjoying your time with it. Yes, some dedicated Wolf art isn't far off, so don't have to stay patient for too much longer :D
I've been following your work on Twitter for a long time now, and I remember well when Conway's first version came out. I played it and thought it had a lot of potential, so I put it aside and let you stew all these months.
After putting it off for so long, I saw that Julian's update had been added and decided to give it a chance and see how the game was now.
I wasn't disappointed at all. Quite the contrary, it exceeded my expectations, by a lot!
I won't go on too long, because I have a lot of praise to give, but EVERYTHING is TOO GOOD. Like, the art is amazing! I know your work and I know your capabilities, but still realizing that the characters had different renderings depending on the light of the environment they were in left me absolutely speechless.
I'm not even going to start talking about the characters because otherwise my comment, which is already long, will get even bigger lmao. But know that I love Julian so much, and I got the perfect timing to play, with this latest update.
I really liked Samuel too, he really gave me two big surprises: the first time when he woke up the protagonist on the second day, and the second time when his secret was revealed in the infirmary. Just, wow. I didn't expect either of them, but I'm all for it.
Nomax's path was something I wasn't planning on following, but after snooping around your FurAffinity and unintentionally discovering some rather "suspicious" art of the character, I decided to go ahead with it. And oh boy, I didn't regret it one bit; I really liked it, in all honesty lol.
Anyway, my most sincere compliments to you and your team who are working so well. I wish you the best and that this game becomes a great success, I hope you can get the support you need to make this already incredible game even better!
Ah, why thank you very much! That's just lovely to hear and thank you so, so much for taking the time to have a peek once again. :)
Yeah, it's really gotten into a nice flow by now, as with everything you kind of need a little while to warm up to it as a creator. Just getting comfortable with it, the characters and so on. So, I'm happy to hear that it sounds like it's not just me assuming that we're finding that place but that it shows in the game itself. :)
Also just so happy that that morning scene with Sam seems to be resonating with people. Was quite nervous if it would have the wanted effect, but it's been mentioned by a few people already, so very happy that that one worked out so well, too.
Yeah, just all in all, thank you so much for taking the time to write the comment. It's such a pleasure to hear from you and others who are taking a gander at it, and hopefully there'll be plenty of future updates for you to enjoy yet to come. :D
Not to ask too much, but would it be possible for you to explain how to unlock all 3 images available in the dice game's painted scene? The one where the protagonist goes to get the dice and gives Julian a beautiful vision...
I've kind of unlocked all the available paintings except the third version of this scene 😅. My curiosity is killing me!
I did it, thank you very much! As a precaution, I replayed everything choosing all the alternatives that I thought would led more towards Jules (deeply irritating Wolf in the process), but it was worth it!
Looking forward to see more of your gorgeous art in the future updates!
I'm glad to hear, and hey we're still pretty early, so you're arriving at a great time I'd say!
And yes there is. Not quite as much as for some of the other characters on day 2, but he is (as of update 8) the only one with NSFW scene. Though that'll change with Update 9, that's so far still Patreon-only.

I adore this vn. Very comfy and even somewhat educational? Even the TITLE SCREEN has great vibes

Oooo awesome!
I love your art. It is so vibrant and unique. Looking forward when the game is complete.
Looks like I missed 4 updates! Time to enjoy this VN delicacy.
Great job Nomax, as per usual.
Hah, always a treat to come back to a chunk of new stuff :D Enjoy and thank you very much!

Erm, need to have a high relationship stats with Julian, and then he needs to win the dice game with you participating.

Looking forward to see more of your gorgeous art in the future updates!
By the way, can anyone please explain to me how you get Nomax's path?
Never mind I found it ;)
How the hell didn't I discover this absolute gem of a game earlier? Its artwork and writing are beautiful, and I can't wait for the next installment.
By the way, is there any route content with Nomax yet?
I'm glad to hear, and hey we're still pretty early, so you're arriving at a great time I'd say!
And yes there is. Not quite as much as for some of the other characters on day 2, but he is (as of update 8) the only one with NSFW scene. Though that'll change with Update 9, that's so far still Patreon-only.
Thanks for the clarification, love your VN and I wish you the best.
