I was following this VN for the past few months. I actually liked it quite a bit. The rosy and blue setting is beautiful, the majority of the characters act rather dignified, sophisticated, dependable, and mature (which is something that many other VNs abandon, unfortunately), and the music is dope af.
I did not play the 1.6 update yet, but I have some questions and ideas.
Wouldn't the leaves in the backgrounds connect to each other via stems? It would make more sense than having them detached and floating in the air.
Why does Lyall sparkle? Artistic choice?
I think the bottom of the windows could be slightly lower. The outside should be more visible.
Will there be skating, sledding, maple syrup chocolate (idk if Lyall can have that) pumpkin spice latte, or other wintry things? I think it is more immersive to ease the reader into the weather and daily activities of the characters during winter, especially as a build-up to the ball. You are already doing a good job describing autumn from the previous update.
I am suspecting that the Winter Solstice Ball would end up like a Cinderella-like dance between Lyall and the human. Oh man, that would be amazing and so romantic. Would it have winter-themed stuff like red ribbons, snowflake cut-outs, Christmas trees or some unique winter tradition, etc.?
Are Lyall and the human virgins? I hope they are.
I know you are still building the plot, as well as the world, politics, conflicts, character developments, sprites and backgrounds, and more. As others have stated, take your time. Life and school take top priority.
This comment may not be appreciated, but I decided to write it anyway since I am in the same boat as those below me. I would appreciate a regular schedule instead of checking up on it every few days.

Suppose you want to make monthly releases like most other VNs. And you put in 5 hours of work every day for 23 or 24 days a month. You have about 115-120 hrs of work. You can assign categories like writing the VNs text, drawing background/sprite images, and then proof reading and fixing bugs. Then assign the number of hours to each. If you make sure youre always giving 75hrs of text time each month you can assume you will always get the same number of words coded in and ensuring readers have a consistent time reading each build. If you have the final text ready and chapters done you can average out the number of words per chapter and then assign working hours to get it done. If it is a longer chapter that is no big deal. You might be forced into using placeholder sprites and backgrounds but there will come a time to upload a smaller chapter (thats how averaging works) and the time you lost on images before can be made up now. As said, if you are done with the draft of the whole story and know what backgrounds/sprites you will need you can allot your remaining time in the month wisely so it ensures consistency with releases. Maybe you dont have 5 hours to spare every day but I am sure you can figure it out if your schedule is different. GL with it and sorry to assume you arent already very well organized.
The game is free and not a job. We can wait however long it takes, since the developer's real life always takes the priority. And the game is worth the wait.
Your "advice" is free, but not wanted, nor is it accurate. Your assumptions are down right terrible. You should have stopped right when you typed "This comment may not be appreciated".
Omg, don't even get me started on that pile of garbage, I wish there were another place where I could download the game instead of having to go through that itch.io page, but I guess I can deal with it since the game is definitely worth it
You're acting as if writing this VN is some sort of job, I'm fairly sure that the reason the writer decided to make this story was for fun. Implementing a schedule for a hobby project is totally unnecessary ESPECIALLY when it takes away from the fun of writing and adds pressure for no good reason.
This is a very beautiful visual novel💚😆. It made me enter the world of sounds and characters. The story is very beautiful. Thank you for this amazing work🥰. I look forward to the next updates.🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️🌚❤️
Yo, i recently found this VN from reddit, and already I'm in love with it XD, I love the character designs, the dialogue, the set design ( i guess it's how one would call it) is beautiful, and the plot which is very interesting.
I have a question: is the dinner the main character goes to the end of this update? That is where mine ends, I am using an android device if that helps.
I like the idea of the game and story so far is quite interesting, especially the worldbuilding aspects. That being said, I find it extremely jarring to see characters treat each other like old buddies despite meeting for the first time. Same goes with the general attitude and way of speaking for characters. It's hard to see medieval times people acting very casual, almost completely ignoring class, and not think something's off. I get it that for us to get to the meat of story we need the characters to interact and reveal details about themselves but I think that current pace doesn't really match the time window we've been given. I believe the problem could be easily fixed if they just had more time to spend together. Make it a time skip if you must.
I think the dialogue and pacing is great as it is, Lyall and Richter interactions make them seem like they just get along really well and genuinely enjoy each other company, and the development of their relationship (and mutual crush) feels believable. Even so imo randomly putting in timeskips won't solve anything
La VN es asombrosa, realmente tiene mucho potencial, muchas tramas a desarrollar y sus dos protagonistas, desde Lyall como Richter (MC) son personajes que desde un inicio tienen ya todo un trasfondo y no son personajes planos o en construcción, de verdad espero que el creador obtuvo mucho apoyo y que todos le den una oportunidad a esta VN !!
The VN is amazing, it really has a lot of potential, many plots to develop and its two protagonists Lyall as Richter (MC) are characters that from the beginning already have a whole background and are not flat or under construction characters, I really hope that the creator has a lot of support and that everyone give this VN a chance !!
hello just one issue so apparently lyre is not compatible with android 11, i can open it but it's stuck on main menu and i can't click anything, this also happens in some renpy vn like i.c.o, but most other vn i played is just doing fine in android 11 so i really don't understand what the issue here
it's not a big problem since for now i just play it in my other device, but i really love if you can fix this problem
oh right im using samsung a30 android 11 btw, so idk if other android 11 do the same
is your phone android 11 since i think it's android 11 issue 😕 since in the past my phone samsung a30 is android 10, and i don't have this issue playing it, but when im updates it to android 11 it's become like what you describe
other renpy vn like ico is also become like this in android 11 but most vn is still playable thou so idk what the issue here that make some renpy vn unplayable in android 11🤔
I'm not sure what it is but my phone is android 11 and I've seen some other people also say that renpy is having some problems with android 11 so that must be it.
i think it's because android 11 is blocking access to android files even users can't access it, and that's where game data usualy been saved so if the game needs to writes or read data from android file it's may become like what you described since the game can't access it

Im laughing at myself for how similar our names are lol. Especially when im narrating myself😆
Brilliant so Far! Well done!
Lyall got me thinking all kinds of ways *uwu*
John is cool but Lyall is best mans.

Most of this is artistic choice. The leaves aren't floating, they're just stylized.
I also can't confirm your suspicions.
I have to stay true to the time period and themes. This is a fantasy world and winter is celebrated differently.
I don't know if I'm getting fairytale ball or red wedding vibes and I love it
oh no john's so cute... lyall might have a rival...
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TYPE THAT
Ima just add this to my small collection of 30 visual novels 😏
👀
I’m SOO Excited for the update 🌚🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️😆
gonna wait the 2 days for the update before i play :3
so happy about the update!
CAN'T WAIT!!
I haven't read through the last 3 updates and i forgor, is the MC a human or what?
(also the save screen tiles are so fucking cute)
Yes, the MC is a human.
I should probably figure out a way to clarify this in the description of the game, lol.
Apparently so 😂😂
He forgor 💀
💀

It's free, we can wait
Yeah and my advice was free too, but I get a lot of downvotes for it.
That may be because your advice is... what is the word? Oh yes, flawed.
Free and wanted aren't the same thing.
The game is free and not a job. We can wait however long it takes, since the developer's real life always takes the priority. And the game is worth the wait.
Your "advice" is free, but not wanted, nor is it accurate. Your assumptions are down right terrible. You should have stopped right when you typed "This comment may not be appreciated".
You should see what it's over in Far Beyond The World comments, it's horrible.
Omg, don't even get me started on that pile of garbage, I wish there were another place where I could download the game instead of having to go through that itch.io page, but I guess I can deal with it since the game is definitely worth it

Exactly, thank you. Some people literally feel entitled to everything.
Played the game and its so adorable!! I liked the art style and story too, i can’t wait for another chapterr
Is there a confirmed date for the next update yet? If there isn't that's fine, I'm just curious.
Im not Shure, but i think we will get it this month, don't quote me on that though, i could be wrong
This is a very beautiful visual novel💚😆. It made me enter the world of sounds and characters. The story is very beautiful. Thank you for this amazing work🥰. I look forward to the next updates.🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️🌚❤️
definitly gonna make this a wallpaper
Maybe I'm imagining what it looks like wrong but I don't understand this. Pls explain
It's a loose shirt, that's oviously not how his arm is shaped XD, it's just the shirt folding that way, it could also be shoulder pads
The sleeve is just sagging a bit because it's a loose shirt.
Artistic choice. Or maybe he just has very fluffy shoulders on top of being very muscular.
It's actually the shirt being loose , atmac up there is the author, so he should know XD
Yo, i recently found this VN from reddit, and already I'm in love with it XD, I love the character designs, the dialogue, the set design ( i guess it's how one would call it) is beautiful, and the plot which is very interesting.
I'm totes excited for the next update!
Im gonna ask the dumbest question...
Is th protag a human?
Yes.
Yes
When is the next update coming?
I give regular updates on Twitter, but the next build will be released some time this month.
o ok. Thank you and can't wait for the update. Love your game
I have a question: is the dinner the main character goes to the end of this update? That is where mine ends, I am using an android device if that helps.
No, that is the ending of build 2. Build 3 is the latest build. I would try redownloading the android build that you have.
That did the trick thanks!! 🙂🙂
I'm glad it worked!
How charming :) A love story about a gay knight captain and gay lord
Gayception.
I love this but I have this horrid sense of foreboding.
Lyall is the cutest!

Absolutamente! I'm glad to see another Spanish speaker in an unlikely place, it's been very long since I've even read Spanish XD
Lyall's acting too cute for someone at kissing range 😳
Can't wait for the next update! ♥

oh right im using samsung a30 android 11 btw, so idk if other android 11 do the same
Same problem here
I love it! waiting for the next update!
Is anyone else experiencing an issue on the android version where you cannot press the start, load, preferences, music gallery and about buttons?
is your phone android 11 since i think it's android 11 issue 😕 since in the past my phone samsung a30 is android 10, and i don't have this issue playing it, but when im updates it to android 11 it's become like what you describe

My god, Lyall is beyond cute. I just LOVE how at the same time he can be cute, goofy and sexy. This wolf is just cuteness overload personified.
is this a linear or non-linear vn? I wanna know before I play can someone plz tell me
I’m pretty sure it’ll be a linear one
Master move by Lyall when asking if Richter had a wife.
Testing the waters to see what chances he has to get himself a husband, perhaps?
