Conway
Conway update 12 is now available!
Hey everyone! Hope you're having start to pride month. Fittingly enough it also comes with one of our gayest updates to date. Though it's also very sneaky and one of the scene is really meant as more of an edge case rather than a main-path scene.
Important changes!:
There is one important change that'll affect those of you interacting with Nomax. He has received a second stat behind the scenes. It just didn't feel like the one stat every character has plus the variables were enough to really track the type of relationship the player can be having with him.
That new stat has been implemented into previous scenes and the main "relationship" stat for him has been adjusted as wel,l since it's no longer trying to somehow contain two metrics. That means that if he is a character you are going for, then you will not have the correct stats going forward, and that will affect gameplay and send you down wrong paths. I try to avoid these type of changes for obvious reasons, but it felt necessary in this case. So if you're interacting with Nomax to any meaningful degree, I'm afraid you'll have to start over to get the correct points.
Then, what's new in this one? Quite a bit, actually! I'm starting to get into a good rhythm with them. This also is Televassi's first foray as a writer for us, so now hopefully we're at a point where no matter what circumstances, we'll probably have at least one writer helping me out at any given update (Unless all 3 are busy otherwise, but fingers crossed that that won't be very often).
Let's begin with the story then:
Last Update left us off at the decision to either leave or stay, and so of course that is where we'll continue. We have a scene for each side, leave and stay, and a second VERY ROUGH and unfinished scene for the leave side. That one is by no means "playable" in that sense, but what the flop, the game is in active development, so I assume you all understand that not everything's gonna be polished at all times.
The leave section contains the new 18+ scene. It's a bit of a tricky one to get to. Basically need to fuck Nomax on day 2, then have the tryst with Julian in the evening of day 2(high relation, win dice game, ask below the belt), and in that scene, pick the option to encourage Julian to go meet Nomax. Then of course on day 12 pick the leave option and there ya go. That'll unlock the optional 18+ section for it.
This is meant as more of a hidden optional scene, so it's quite tricky to get to with a lot of prerequesites that need to be ticked. Most scenes will of course not be that specific, but I also always love putting some hidden bits and pieces here and there. (Or, well, not really hidden since i'm telling you about it i guess.)
Reworks:
Additionally to story progression, we also have a reworked section in this one! The first scene of day 1 got a makeover curtesy of Sandy. That starts shortly after you meet Julian & Wolf on the ship, and ends at the Dinner decision. It's a fantastic rework. I'm not a massive fan of that early writing of myself, since it was all essentially done before i even really knew what I wanted to do with this game... So it's all rather clumsy and weird.
No more though for that section! The characters are given a bit of a more careful treatment, Nomax doesn't just magic away his seasickness from one moment to another (though it still is way easier/quicker than it probably would be), and for the nitty gritty peeps among you we've now actually got a realistic-sounding exit of the harbor!
Sandy really did a bang up job with this, so if you enjoyed that section before already then maybe give it a re-read!
Art:
Art wise we have a few things as well! We have the Rajeeyah v2 rework, that you can see in the image above. We have the artwork for the 18+ scene with Nomax & Julian and, in theory we have another Maritime Menagerie Character. He didn't quite make it into this one, since there wasn't a use for him just yet, but never hurts to have someone in the back pocket when needed.
New features:
- Fanart gallery! So if you need even more of an art fix for the characters of this game, then we got you sorted with some art from other amazing artists!
- Cheats. This one is a supporter feature and any tier on patreon and subscribestar gets the code for it.
The development of this game is made possible by our generous supporters. If you enjoy the game youself then consider supporting it on Patreon or Subscribestar!
We got some cool plans for new features, namely a replay gallery, allowing you replay whole scenes rather than just seeing the CG pictures. Once we reach the mark of 1650$ a month we'll implement it for the next update. We'rearound 50$ away, so inching dangerously close to it! O:

I love the art and the story! loved this update but ngl I wish the mc would take nomax place and service them both lol but anyway, I was thinking if you have some plan about Arthur route, like if you are planning on releasing something or if you are going to focus on julian and nomax for now, I don't wanna seem rude or like Im rushing you, Im just curious of your plans cuz currently I think he is one of the ones with less content and hes my fav so I was curious (sorry for my bronken english)
Thank you very much, I'm glad that you're enjoying it.
Yes Arthur is one of the 6 characters in the main cast, so he'll get the same treatment as the rest. It's just that of course some character progress goes faster, others slower, but we'll get there when we get there. :)
I think my question came out wrong, sorry! what I was trying to say it's if you guys have like a order of route to work on, like, first you put out julian route, after that Nomax, then Samuel and so on or if you just go with what you feel like working on, without having like a pre-established order, I don't know if this is a rude question to ask, but I hope you didn't feel offended cuz it was not my intention to bother you
Oh, no worries at all. I mean that's what comments are for.
And no, we don't really work on one route specifically or anything like that. We're just keeping all routes more or less level and work through the game that way.
As in day 1 & 2 are done, now day 12 is being and at some point that'll be done and we'll go ahead to whatever day is next on the order to continue things.
We actually did open a poll for that on patreon a while ago, asking if people prefer that kind of "parity" approach, where everything is more or less at the same level of progress, or if people prefer focus on one path/section for a while, then switching to another, then to another. But the majority prefers the current approach so we'll trucking on with it. :)
Is there any way to download on a mac? Wonderful game!
Yes, there is a mac version you can download :)
Replaying the VN because pretty funny upon the confirmation of how obvious it is to Wolf that the MC is only saying they like the quiet because they want to talk to him.
He's a smart bean after all.
how do you get the new nomax scene
Should be explained above. It is pretty tricky to get though, so if you can give me more info on where you might be stuck i might be able to help.
A SCENE WITH BOTH NOMAX AND JULIAN?? Yeah, that's it, Conway is finaly peak.
I didn't even knew it was possible to bang Nomax and still have high enough relation with Julian to go down on him too! Guess I'll have to replay the whoooole game again for the 17th time, too bad /jk
Anyway, thank you as always for giving us such a good game! Keep on the good work!
Thank you very much, and yeah, the possibilities! :D
Peak
I aim to provide nothing less! :D
