Echo got moved here three days ago too, and all praised that it's back in /gfur/. What's the difference here?

The Nekojishi thread had next to no pictures when the game wasn't released, yet didn't get moved to /d/.

Same for Repeat.
Same for Kemo Coliseum.
Same for Morenatsu Revisited.
Same for the IDEKA Halloween Specials.
Same for Identity.

I could go on.

Why bringing up the whole "no pictures" thing? Because that was the whole reason from a certain admin why some threads were moved to /d/ and not others... even though those I listed clearly weren't moved at all from /gfur/.

And since admins aren't answering why these threads are still in /gfur/ since... last July, and they didn't bother moving any other thread, then let's assume it's no problem!

As for the game itself, I'm glad it's back in there, it definitely needs some exposure.

Agreed. Blackgate, and even EA died there. Should probably bring those back as well.

Anyway, love this game and I'm glad it's getting more attention. I came across it when Echo tweeted about the Patreon.

Took me awhile to finally start playing it because I wasn't a fan of Jun's Sprite but it was a one hit KO when I saw shoichi

Yeah, the old one wasn't the best. The first three were always meant as placeholders until I got another artist to start working with (at the time, my current artist only did those for dirt cheap as a favor to me, since she was working with a friend of ours on another VN... that was never released, never had a demo and got cancelled. Then she started working with me :p).

The new ones are much higher quality, for sure. Have you seen Shoichi's new sprite that's coming out in this update x3? (I've posted it for all to see on twitter, and it seems that the thread's creator linked it here :p)

Hey WOTB, assuming it's really you, cool that you monitor such things as this thread. I'm a recent patron and I'm not sure if it's best to talk at ya there or here or what, but I just want to say briefly that I'm heavily impressed with what you've done so far. A full glowing review can wait until later, but as far as sprites go, it might just be my first impressions coloring things, but I'm in love with the ones that are in the game right now. I guess I never saw the old Jun one, but even if they don't emote (yet) Keisuke and Shoichi's sprites really appeal(ed) to me. Their eyes in particular are enchanting. The new ones seem to be going for an older and more distinguished look, and though I do like the younger and more naive schoolboy look, I'm glad you've found something that you're happy with.

Hiya, man! Yeah, it's really me. I think it'd be hard for people to portray themselves as me in here, because Vic is really close to me, so he knows how I talk, and he always checks this thread all the time xD

Ah, yeah. The old eyes definitely were a little prettier, in the sense that they were shinier and all. Like I said earlier, my artist drew females almost exclusively, so the eyes were much more delicate and full of highlights. The new ones aren't as cutesy, but that's just because the guys are a bit more masculine. Overall, I like them better because they fit the idea I have in my head a lot more x3

And, really, thanks a bunch. Even just the fact that you liked it enough to give me your feedback already makes me really happy xD
Honestly, I love reading people's feedback on my work. Be it good or bad, I just like to see people talking about it, it makes my day x3

Yeah in retrospect that makes perfect sense, because it all comes down to our mental 'picture' of the characters. For me, my first introduction to the characters were the sprites they have, but for you it's the image you have in your head when you created them. I truly look forward to your next update.

So I'm playing through this VN and honestly, I gotta say, I'm really liking it so far. It seems like you really like feedback so I'm willing to give as much as I can (I've played pretty much every furry VN to date, surprised I got to this one so late).
-Music is pretty good. Nothing outstanding but that's fine.
-Sprites, while not dynamic, are really good looking and I really like them.
-Backgrounds are very good
-Writing and dialogue is very smooth and enjoyable

Couple of little things:
-During the 2nd match with Mikado (and possibly other times? to be honest I kind of skipped through the dialogue because I used to play tennis and it eerily reminds me of my junior days), Mikado would say 40-0 when the score is actually 0-40 (the server always announcers their score first, and then the opponent's score second. So if Mikado was 0 and MC was 40, he would say love-fourty).
-there are a couple of times where I think you mix up "sets" and "games". Playing 120 sets in a week would actually physically kill someone; if a set was 30 minutes long (which is VERY conservative in time) that would be 60 hours a week in play. Unless they're using a system that I didn't hear about.

My only concern so far (at April 10th, I think) is that it feels like there hasn't been any kind of romantic interest initiated between the characters yet. I love the game so far and I'd definitely still play it if it wasn't 18+, but unless this is going to be a very, very long VN, I feel like the romantic feelings might come very late into the story and could feel rushed. This is just predictions, and like I said I haven't finished to the end of the current update.
Really awesome so far! Looking forward to finishing the current build and continuing with future updates!

- Well, if you're only at April 10 then that means that means the emotive sprites haven't kicked in yet. I haven't retroactively added them to the first days because I'm leaving that for after I get all of the main 3 redone (Keisuke is being made right now, so once he's done, I'll go back and emote all three). But those are definitely things that I have already started working on a while ago x3

- Music is mostly jut CC-free tracks I found online. I plan on paying a composer to make soundtrack for the game at some point (but that would take a lot of funding and, right now, sprites/CGs/backgrounds take priority).

- About the love-forty thing... yeah, that's true. It's something that I've fixed in the scene that's on today's update (which I'm uploading right at this moment) but left to fix after I go back to add in the emotive sprites (I'll use that as an opportunity to fix anything that's still wrong with the game).

- Nah, it was 120 sets. The number is pretty ridiculous, yes, but most of those barely lasted 20 minutes (it was that much of a stomp).

- On the romantic feelings thing, they haven't really started to develop yet. The reason being that the game is still on the prologue. Once the prologue is done (and the demo I'm uploading right now contains the very last of the prologue), I'll start working on route selection, which is when feelings will start to develop. After you've acquired enough "love points" with a specific character during route selection, it will lock you into the route of your love interest and things will build from there. The prologue was done mostly for character building. Once a player has finished playing the prologue, I'll add an option to skip it on new playthroughs so you can go directly to route select x3

Still, thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback. It's true that I love hearing people's opinions on things xD

I'm sorry, but... none of them have white pupils. They all have dark pupils with white highlights on top of them. Even for Shoichi and Keisuke, who have the highlights closer to the pupils, you can see that there are actual pupils underneath e-e

As for poses, yes, there will be more. It's just a matter of getting everything else that needs to get done first.

I kind of have a huge concern when it comes to Shoichi and his new sprite. Don't get me wrong, it looks gorgeous, but combined with his.. new mannerisms? it feels like an entirely different character now. I had an image in my mind of who Shoichi is and with the new sprite and his strength being more emphasized it's like the old Shoichi is entirely gone; if it was over time I could understand but this is.. rather odd to experience. Instead of being a friendly, happy-go-lucky type he's now much more serious all of a sudden and along with his physical strength he's not handling situations like he would have before. I'm not the author of course, but it does feel really odd and it makes me wonder if previous dialogue is going to change or not. Because right now there's a huge disconnect.
But again I want to stress, the new sprite and faces are beautiful, but he's just too... large. Before he felt kind of like a skinny little guy with a lot of energy, now he's Mr. Muscle.

His personality hasn't changed. He's still very much a happy-go-lucky guy, it just so happens that Day 12 was more serious (as it was a less slice of life-y day) and the characters in general didn't have much of a chance to goof around all that much.

Shoichi is still the same guy, it just so happens that he, like the others, actually has sprite to show when he's annoyed now. And he isn't even all that muscular (the MC is more muscular than him to be honest). His body type is just more in line with the fact that he's an athlete :p

I can understand where you're coming from and it's a matter of personal opinion whether you prefer the new sprites or the old ones. I just want to assure you that there's been no change to their personalities. It's just that, as with life, there will be days where they'll be more serious and days where they'll goof around a bit more.

Maybe once you see what they look like emoting during the previous days you'll understand what I mean. In my opinion, they all just become much cuter and sweeter now xD

But still, thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. If there's anything else you'd like to talk about, feel free to. I'll do my best to answer honestly :3

What kind of humor are you using? Im asking because the dialogue sound really try hard and the comedy parts are so forced. Its especially annoying how characters make themselves look like bunch of idiots just for the sake of being funny. U18 is hugboxy and Im criticizing because I think your vn has potential. Do what you will but look up persona games on how to do conversation right.

Also, this vn is damn long so for the sake of the reader, make some option to skip certain parts such as tennis match, thats just an example

All Renpy VNs give the option to skip seen/unseen dialogue.
And
>Also, this vn is damn long so for the sake of the reader
VN stands for "Visual Novel", emphasis on "Novel". The days are pretty much around the same length as EA's, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, it's really not new. Day 1 does drag a bit, but since it's supposed to be the introduction, it has the right to be long.

Aside from Victor's introduction (which will be rewritten), the humor and conversations are no more forced than in Repeat, Morenatsu, or, God forbid, Lagoon Lounge. I don't see much issue in the writing, aside from the usual and sometimes hilarious typos/grammar problems a non-English native would have (even EA has some very dumb ones, and it's from an American), though again, we survived Lagoon Lounge's shitty translation three times.

Fair point, I forgot there is an option to skip until the next choice as well. But thats still slow as fuck, since the prologue is not important to choosing a romance option anyway, there should be an option to skip prologue.

Course it's important. Not only is it chock full of information on the characters, but there are love points that work like EA, and each character will have prerequisites for you to pursue on their routes. I still get new traits from Keisuke I would've never completely figured out until Day 12.

Also if you're just gonna play the game for the romance, what's the point in skipping all the parts about knowing the characters at a basic level? It'd be like playing Morenatsu from Day 15 onward, and Morenatsu is exclusively about relationships, no sports or studies inbetween. I wasn't a fan when EA did this either, you barely get to know much about them in the first two days, and they are decisive, heck, it's not even a choice you're making in EA, the game does it for you.

And it's pretty obvious that the game is also about sports, I mean it's called "Tennis Ace" for a reason. If we're suddenly complaining that there's too much sports in a VN where sports is one of the main themes, it'd be like mentioning how there's too much sorcery in Harry Potter, or that there's too much football in Captain Tsubasa. It's a style choice more than a flaw, if you're going in knowing that you won't like the style of "the terrain is 3 miles long & characters show 10 seconds reactions in between actions that should be done in under half a second", then it's not really the game's fault.

Hey man, I dont know there are love points during prologue so spare me on that. WOTB said after prologue is where player can choose which route to romance with so it feels like all the previous choice we got doesnt matter. And Im not complaining about sports here. As for skipping, Im talking about the people who have gone through it, not new players you idiot.

Also its weird how we get to know "every" character at the basic level like you said. For example, we focus on Shoichi during prologue and then suddenly jump into Jun after that. Will the previous choice of prologue affects how the route becomes? It just does not add up and the choice for the romance routes became irrelevant. And if I randomly chose anyone during prologue, the outcome does not matter anyway. Bad writing.

I agree with you that EA was too fast but at least it gets straight to the point.

I think you got it backwards for the love points ; the Prologue I think doesn't change much on that, though alternate choices give different dialogue for similar situations.

In the route selection, it will just tell you how many times you need to hang out with a guy to get with him, for example for Jun it'd be something like 7 times, while with Shoichi it'd just be like 2 or 3 times (cause you already know him).

>>1389633
Got confirmation ; the 12 Days long Prologue will be skippable for subsequent playthroughs. The handling of what happens in early game that could be relevant post-Prologue though, I'd need to ask, cause for example we don't meet Alex anywhere unless it's on Day 10 with Keisuke, so there'd have to be some variable that makes Yuuichi acknowledge/remember he exists at some point. Jun's introduction already treated different in Day 2 depending on what you do in Day 1, so I wouldn't worry about continuity here, he's managing that.

Wow, that's a lot of responses. Hang on.

>>1389407
>>1389604
>>1389633
I'm just going to assume these three posts were made by the same person and I'll answer them all in tandem.

I'm sorry to hear that you think the writing here is stupid and cringy. Though I do have to say (and I've said this tons of times before) that while the setting in itself is more realistic (other than... you know, anthros), the writing and character interactions have always been wackier. I don't think many people would really be interested on the realistic day to day interactions of teenagers. So, yeah, I exaggerate. At some points it's only a bit, at others it's a lot. But even then, wacky things happen in real life (in some cases, life is weirder than fiction). So while I'm not discarding your criticism (and I might reconsider some future writing choices due to it), I'm also not going to discard the whole style of my game. The humor is silly, sometimes it's *very* silly, and that is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's fully possible that it might not be your style of humor at all, at which case there isn't much I can do about that other than completely remake my game to satisfy a completely different crowd at the expense of other people who actually like it for the silly stuff.

And as for your Persona remark... err, what Persona game are you talking about? Because on Persona 4 alone we had an entire dungeon dedicated to a character that thought of a gay sauna, we had a crossdressing beauty pageant (!), we had a public bath scene where the boys peep on the girls while the girls talk about breast sizes, we had a living mascot that would not stop making bear puns (dear God, those were painful)... so, yeah. I don't think I've ever gone as dumb as any of those things (and hopefully I never will).

Still, I appreciate the criticism, and yes, I will include an option to skip the Prologue once it has been read the first time. That's really a basic feature for any Visual Novel and it was already intended to be worked on once I moved on from the prologue (and considering the fact that I'm only gonna start working on what comes *after* it in March, I haven't really had a chance to do that :p). I'll reconsider some writing choices (and I do intend to rewrite some stuff that was too far-fetched, such as the exchange student coming to school on a horse because he thought that's what the Japanese did. He'll still go to school on a horse, just that his reason for it will be something more akin to "I didn't want to but I lost a bet"... and the characters won't give him a pass for it either).

Also, please don't insult people here. I get that you might feel a bit annoyed but we're all trying to have a civil conversation here, no? There's no need for that sort of thing :p

Whew, I talked a long just for a single part of the response e-e

>>1389626
Heh, thanks for the nice comments x3
To be honest, I'm not going to include any "love points" on the Prologue because I don't like the idea of choices the player made before even knowing what the characters were about deciding what kind of route they get (or, even worse, what kind of ending). Hopefully, the character select will tie-in any information that might be missing if you didn't choose a character on a specific day (say you go out with Keisuke on Character Select and you never picked him on Day 10. There will be a passing mention to the two side characters you meet on that day and how the MC doesn't know them (or how he already knows them if he picked that Day 10). You'll only miss the character interactions by doing this). I just like this style of character selection better and it does open doors for future side character routes if I so choose to do them (I'm still not 100% sure if I will, but it sure is easier to, say, include a secondary Alexander route that only shows up in Character Select if you've gotten X hearts with Keisuke in it first).

I will agree with you on the stylistic approach though. The humor in my game is much sillier and wackier than others and I fully agree that it might not be for everyone. Some people might think that the character's sometimes exaggerated personalities are charming while others might believe they're cringy. I can't really pander to everyone on that :p

A few things about the sprites I just wanted to mention. Shoichi does look a lot thicker in his new sprite. I kind of prefer his older, thinner sprite personally. He just looks too muscular now. It's up to you if you change it or not, but I can see now what the others were talking about.

I don't know if you're working on a new sprite for the MC, but he looks like he's shoved into that uniform. It could do with a bit of a redesign on some characters, I think. It looks like something you'd wear in a military school during formal ceremonies. It's too thick and restrictive looking. Compare >pic related's uniform to the MC's and you'll see what I mean.

By the way, having the MC's sprite show up when he's talking is a great idea. I've never seen it done before.

The Keisuke sprite I think is is excellent apart from one thing. This may just be me, but I think his neck fur is too thick. It makes him look a bit awkward, because his neck is large compared to the rest of his body.

There's always been that recurring joke between me & WOTB the first time I saw Shoichi and realised he was supposed to be pretty much a super athlete (he is the best volleyball player, 192 cm/6'4, and extremely strong after all).

I'd regularly shout "NOODLE ARMS!", and he'd cringe everytime I'd do that. Good times.

The real reasons though
1- He and the artist lost the first PSD files between the first and second update.
2- The artist initially only drew human girls and Lion King characters (not even furries), which explain the lack of masculinity in the first sprites. She improved a lot since then.
3- It's more in line with his vision anyway.

Also, if New!Shoichi is too thick for you, oh man, you're gonna freak out with Alex. Hope you like big, black and white, ~30ish years old, muscular wolves (6'6, 7 feet tall with boots). I have no idea how he'll look like in this art style.

Your assumption is correct, those three posts are mine

I absolutely have nothing against if you want to go with wacky comedy, I would even like it if it was handled correctly, but here is the reason why I said it was stupid:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flanderization

Look this up and you will understand why if you are not careful

I saw your novel has a few elements similar to persona, ie teacher asks jun for the mount olympus answer. Im assuming you are familiar with persona (all three 3 - 5) social links, imo they did conversation right, people bantering with good balance between comedy and realistic dialogue so I think you could improve on that. I know that there are some wacky stuff there too but because it is an urban FANTASY, thats why.

I wouldnt expect you to rewrite stuff right now since you will anyway when you finish your novel in order to polish everything. But good, I think you are going on the right direction. I agree, you cant pander to a small population therefore think everything even what I said before you do anywork. Do some research, its good for your novel

Kudos to you for implementing the prologue skip. Im looking forward to the next build.

Are the sprites final? They are better than before but it could be improved. Somehow kei and shoichi front face similar to me even though they are different species so theres that

I'm so glad to see this VN gaining attention, again.

I'll have to set a time for myself to replay all of it. I remember finding this on /kemono (or whatever it was called) and wanting to see more of it.

I mean... I compress those on an .rpa file to keep people from accessing the files so they can't take the game's sprites >.>

>>1389701
While my artist was working on Kei's sketch, we settled on that neck size because he looked completely ridiculous with anything smaller, so I think I'll keep it as is x3

Shoichi is definitely a strong guy. He's always been that way (I mean, there were always mentions on the game about how he was crazy strong. The MC called him "freakishly strong twice" in the first five days), it's just that the old sprites were much more feminine and twinky because my artist wasn't used to drawing men (like Vic said). I know that it might not be other people's cup of tea (I myself prefer chubby men and am not a fan of muscle, so even I am not crazy about his body type), but it's what the character is. Plus, he might be a bit thick, but he's no monster. He doesn't have giant biceps or anything, he's just a little thicker than your average joe x3

As for the MC, I don't really see what you mean about military school. Japanese gakuran are usually made to be inconspicuous because the entire idea for the country is that they don't want people to draw attention. Students are supposed to blend in with each other, so they keep the clothing simple and rigid (because that's kind of what the Japanese education system is like).

And I'm glad you like the portraits, at least. From the very beginning I wanted the MC to have a face and the portrait was the way I chose to make that happen. Now, once I get he other clothes for the MC, I'll also order expressions for him so he'll emote while talking just like the other guys.

>>1389759
I get your point with Flanderization, I know what it is (I like to read TVtropes to pass time sometimes). But I think you're a bit mistaken here. It's true that the characters have quirks and wacky traits, but they're not ALL about those traits. In fact, those aren't even things that manifest frequently. Going just from what's been shown in the game so far:

- Jun is a hyperactive, incredibly excited young man who is passionate about music and enjoys hanging around with others. But even though he's peppy most of the time, he can also be sarcastic, caustic and serious when the situation calls for it and he has even lectured the other characters on their behavior once or twice (something that they didn't fail to note was weird).

- Shoichi is overworking, happy-go-lucky and caring towards his close friends. He always does whatever he can to help them, even if it's in weird, roundabout ways (like screaming at Keisuke during Day 12 when he noticed that just regular pep talk wouldn't help. He portrayed himself as a negative person just so Keisuke could antagonize him and feel better). But when he's faced with other people that he's not close to, he's overtly serious, business like and even dry. He shows different facets of his personality to different people. He's not all about one trait.

- Keisuke is mostly retracted. He's almost always neutral about things and likes to remain withdrawn, his gestures are generally more refined than the others and he seems to be more level-headed... except that he also has a pretty nasty temper at times. Not only that, he's shown himself to be sweet and caring to close friends and also vulnerable and suspicious of other people's motives (on Day 2, he explains that he's had experiences where he'd find out that his "friends" only really hung out with him because he'd give them stuff).

While I thoroughly welcome people to pull on my ear if I ever start to slip and Flanderize the characters, I don't really think I'm anywhere near that point yet. They all have pretty diverse personalities and multiple facets to them. I believe they're pretty well developed so far (at least it's how I feel about it). If people think I'm doing wrong, I welcome them to tell me so and tell me exactly what was done wrong so that I can fix it (for instance, I'm gonna rewrite the Victor horseback scene so that he has a more mundane and less ridiculous reason for doing so).

On the sprites, *HOPEFULLY* they will be the final ones, but since I don't know how long it might take me to finish the problem, they might end up being tweaked in the future. I can't really see the similarities between Shoichi and Keisuke though. They're both facing front, that's true, but Shoichi's face is more angular whilst Keisuke's is more rounded. Their eyes are also drawn completely differently as well. The only things that might be similar are the snouts, but that's just because they're regular snouts :p

>>1389863
Ah, yes. The only place I myself posted this when I first started was /kvn (Kemono Visual Novels), although it's been closed down already. I'm glad you enjoy the game, hopefully you'll continue to do so. Right now I'm reworking everything that I've written so far, adding expressions, improving soundtrack and rewriting parts of the beginning of the game (God, I really wasn't used to writing in English for Day 1 and it clearly showed).

Anyway, thank you all for the feedbacks. I write this shortly before I go to bed, so I'll check if anyone else answered after I wake up xD

Why are you scared about people stealing the sprites? I figured out how to extract the files in ten minutes, so it's probably not the best system.

I accept what you said about the uniform because I don't know much about the school system in Japan. My main point though was that it looks too restrictive and tight on the MC, particularly around the neck.

When are you going to implement the date HUD? Even a simple one could do the job.

I should not even bother to ask since it is a standard feature of dating sims. It is hard to keep track of what day it is and some stuff can be confusing as well.

I really can't see it though. I'd need you to explain to me how that would be important, because other than EA, I've never played a game that downright told you how many days in you are in the game. And I don't know how a person would use that information. If you were wanting to make a guide for the game for instance (which is the only use I can think of for this) you wouldn't be able to use "April 15" instead of "Day 7". Both achieve the same results given that you'd just say:
"Yeah, on April 15 you choose X choice." or "Yeah, on Day 7 you choose X choice."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm opposed to it. It doesn't really make any difference to me either way and making one is so easy that I might as well just do it. I just don't see the use for it really.

The thing I notice in your novel is that you use time skip and flash back in few places and I am not sure if you use those again but having the date in universe definitely helps reader keep up what is happening in the story. The purpose is only for the reader not to get confused and of course it is very helpful if you decide to make a guide in the future.
Not sure what game you have played but most of slice of life visual novel I have read usually have the dates.

I'm glad you two liked the update (I'm gonna guess that's what the second guy meant by his comment?).

And, yeah, it was on the shorter side. Not by much, though. The lengthier updates hit about 2000 lines. This one hit 1500. So it was close, but not quite (but then again, Shoichi is supposed to have the shortest character select segment since it doesn't take you as long to get into his good graces).

Maybe it sounds sexy to some, (I know some are turned on by Shun X Ten) but try to justify and write that in a story without it losing all credibility, quality, good taste, and sympathy.
And if you think it's no big deal, then you probably don't care about writing and story, and/or are thinking that this VN is just innocent fap material.
Spoiler: It's not.

It's not even a question of being a good writer, it's such a terrible subject it'd never look good no matter the result.
It's like mixing whip cream and ketchup, even if it's top-of-the-line it'll still taste like garbage. (although Shoichi would probably make that)
Believe it or not, pedoincestuous relationships is already a pretty small niche without writing added, and Tennis Ace is not a fap VN, it'd look just as bad if suddenly Leo in Echo would cockvore Chase in the main story.

That kind of stuff is for fanarts, doujins, and weird fanfictions, not a competently written original story.
And yes, most doujins are just fap material, there's nothing wrong with that, just don't tell me you enjoy reading them for believable stories and deep character developments.

It's probably a little late to be pointing these out considering this month's update literally just came out, but here are two bugs that have been in the game for at least 2 months:

1. Two audio tracks play at the same time on the day you choose to go to the tea shop or the library.

2. If you go to the festival with Shoichi and choose the teriyaki, the game will skip straight to the fish game regardless of how many foods you have chosen.

There was another spot where two tracks played at once but I can't remember.

I do enjoy side characters having actual sprites rather than just being placeholders. All of them look neat so far.

Man it's been crazy seeing how consistently this VN has been updating.. on time with pretty beefy size. I mean I get that the content isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I'm legit amazed at the dude's work ethic. Anyway, here's a piece of fan art I commissioned for it, figured to post it here.

Yeah I agree, the consistent progress is one of the things I enjoy the most about following this project. I know that things aren't always easy but following a project where the author doesn't just disappear for several months, doesn't have a million sprite/artist changes and doesn't have existing parts of the story scrapped/rewritten is just great.
Progress has been smooth since the beginning and I'm delighted to see this.

I really love that art a whole lot. Thank you so much, man. It's really great <3

>>1488769
Like he said, yeah, the biggest point of this update is the new day for Keisuke (which leaves him at Day 13 like the other characters). Other than that, there are new sprites that were added to the prologue (I'm STILL getting art for the prologue and it'll be a while before I get everything I want), bug fixes, typo fixes, etc.

To explain how Character Selection (CS) works for those who don't seem to understand how the days are structure so well:
You first have the Prologue (Days 1 to 12), then you get into Character Selection where you'll be able to play the character's heart events. Then you get into the actual routes, with Day 13 being the first day of them. So it goes:
Day 1-12 -> CS 1-8 (depending on character) -> Day 13-

Hope the folks here who've played the update enjoyed it :3

Oooh so thats what those meant, huh, that just makes me wonder what comes up next, I'm really enjoying the story and characters so far and where this is going, if the prologue was that fulfilling, I can barely wait!

And at risk of sounding weird, I just wanted to say that story is so very well written, in the sence that its very immersive without it getting tedious, and I'll say, I had to postpone the book I was already reading and take 2 extra days to read it completely when I started, which started on a 2 day holiday, I just couldnt put it down

Hello! I only found out about this VN 2 days ago but I'm already in love with it and planning on following it as best I can! Sorry I can't really provide anything for the patreon but I do hope it won't take long to get an ending for the game but I'm also a nasty inpatient dude!

I do have some questions! Is this going to be the type of game where it ends on the confession scene? Because I honestly...probably wouldn't like that. I would prefer it if the game would continue well past the confession scene and shows there new relationship as not only a couple but how it affects there lives, if they try to hide it, how others would view it, the prejudice they could experience. I'm already aware that japan isn't really the best place for gay couples, so I would be happy if that is expressed in this as well. Plus I'm really interested to see how there interactions and such change afterwards. I hope there is a a LOT more that happens after the confession scenes and when they start to date. Especially since I don't expect the characters to have sorted out there problems by the time the confession happens. I expect even there new relationship to impact the problems that will occur.

Also, with HIM being the canon route, it might be best if his route ends up being the longest and the one that deals directly with Yuuichi's problems. I know by the end of the Prologue, Yuuichi's problems are well on there way to being completely fixed, but I doubt all of it is and he has even more issues to deal with. I think the canon route should bring closure not only to that route's star but also to Yuuichi completely. But that's just my selfish opinion.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm obsessed with TA. I came looking for easy porn with story, and I got a really solid Slice of Life with realistic tridimensional characters and an actual MC that isn't a nymphomaniac/kinda shy/piece of cardboard to insert yourself in the story (heck, he isn't even gay, that's the first time I ever seen that in a gay VN). It's unique in it's media.
So I redrew one of the best scenes in the whole game with the best character because he's a precious cinnamon roll. Thanks for creating this game, WOTB.

I mean, I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure Yuuichi is pretty gay. Even if he himself isn't aware of it. It's typically how it always happens. He's shown not to have any real interest in the girls he has dated, he just doesn't want to hurt people's feelings so he accepts. The only time he denied it was when it was a guy and even then, he hesitated. It's likely he is gay, but is denying it and trying to rationalize it as other things instead.

What I was going for was that Yuuichi isn't gay YET, like a proto-gay. He has plenty of the popular kid tropes and it wouldn't be hard to imagine that he's feels pressure by expectations for his sexuality, even more counting TA is located in Japan, a conservative country. Yuuichi gets bored by all of his dates, but the spice in his romantic life is definitely a guy. That's pretty unique for a main character and I love it.

Yes. They are all high schoolers. Their ages are between 17 and 19.

>>1512412

That's pretty much the circumstances with him, yeah. He's clueless to the fact that he has no real interest in girls and he always rationalizes the times when he sees himself attracted to his male friends (you can actually see him doing that multiple times in the game).

The speed with which he'll realize he has romantic feelings for the characters will depend on the route. For Shoichi's route, it's pretty quick (since they are already so close to each other from the start). For the other characters, it'll vary a bit depending on how long they've known each other.

Update here to my own post, since apparently from what I read in this thread the Dev actually posts here?

Just wanna say that after playing every single possible furry game, this VN has been a great surprise. Not gonna lie, I postponed it, but that's because I'm very judgemental about a few things. Today I gave in and tried it out. Day 1 alone is already better than most Furry VNs I've played.

Really enjoyed the Tennis scene, thought that was really nicely done and as someone who knows nothing of tennis, it managed to keep me intrigued.

The MC is fantastic, he has personality, he's not a shallow husk for self insert.

If things continue as day 1, the story seems to be detailed and slow paced, no rush, no pandering to horny furries, actual romance and character development.

I'm excited to go for day 2 and see how the rest goes.

Good. One of the VNs that actually managed to get me. Though I have to say I had my expectations a bit too high. Most of the dialog has little purpose and drags a LOT, I don't like how Keisukes route is done, it keeps shoving in my face that he's a rich kid who doesn't like being rich all the time, got overdone. Soichi is cute as his route is the best one imo, I don't really like Jun's personality much (personal taste, nothing wrong with the game) so I haven't finished that yet.

Overall better than most, but it's not the Dark Souls of furry VNs or anything.

So everyone here,
Whose your fav date-able character?
Why are they your fav date-able character?
Who did you think was the Canon route before it was revealed to be Jun?
What extra features do you think should be added?
What do you think should be changed?

I liked Jun the most anyway, because he was my fav type of character in a VN. I already figured it was Jun, mainly from the way the MC interacted with him when alone during the prologue.

Extra Features I can think of are things like a Glossary for things like honorifics, some names and places mentioned through the story, things like that.

I also think a Profile section would be nice to add too, a way to view the details of each character and the things you have learned about them so far and how they connect to other characters.

Another nice thing to be added could be an actual website for the game, but that might be just too expensive right now.

Things I would like changed...I'm not too sure what I would like changed. Perhaps more CG's to be added during the prologue and such but that is already being worked on, thankfully.

Can't really think of what I want removed.

My fav is Jun, I adore him.
I have a weakness for cute innocent characters, plus Jun is silly and optimistic and I also like that, not to mention having the makings of a tragic character, all of that and the fact that he's a chunky cat just make me want to be by his side and protect him, just like Yuuichi/MC does.
There's also the sexual aspect ofc, and when it comes to that I also can't help being attracted to the most seemingly submissive character, lol.

Shoichi is my 2nd fav, I'd probably like him more but I'm biased in favor of felines, and I'm not the biggest fan of the childhood friend trope either (or Keisuke's rich boy trope for that matter), but I still like him quite a bit. His route thus far made me think that he was the "canon" route, and I'm probably not the only one.
Anyway, don't pay much attention to the canon thing, since Tennis Ace is a different story from the one where Shoichi was just a side character.

A profile section would be a nice addition, and we should expect more CGs in the future but the priority should be for the routes to move forward more than anything else, and adding more sprites for certain characters. There are already notes outside of the dialogue boxes in some parts explaining certain tennis related terms though, so a glossary probably wouldn't be necessary, unlike Nekojishi where the terminology was worth researching more in depth.

Pretty neat that we're getting new art for existing scenes. Pretty neat how much art we're getting in general. This project doesn't get an insane amount of money but we already have a good amount of sprites for the main characters, a bunch of outfits and full art for various scenes. And the new stuff is a lot better than the original. Seems like Nyaruh is a good investment.

As usual I'm looking forward to the next update this month. More Shoichi is always welcome.

An athlete boyfriend that gets horny and wants to fuck every time he wins is something I never knew I needed until now.

I really hope WOTB plays into that side of Shoichi a lot more, maybe we could see it one night where Shoichi stays at Yuuichi's and they play videogames together.

Ok, even though I loved the update because Shoichi is the most precious cinnamon roll on earth, I feel the competition came out of nowhere just to give Shoichi a reason to be sad. Maybe if this was aformentioned in the prologue, it could of give us more impact of how much this mattered to Shoichi, but this specific plot was just introduced like if was nothing, while the welcoming party plot was anticipated before the character select came up and is arguably less important for Shoichi.
I'm just happy, mad and sad tbh

slice of life, sports, and school theme. the prologue sets the overall feel and lets the player explore current situations with each dateable character. the character selection is a deeper dive into the troubles of each character that i thought was important to include. individual routes are good so far. the pacing depends on the relationship with the main character to dateable character. overall, tennis ace is a yes

Attention people who were interested in Hibiki Kumakawa, the Husky I introduced as an OC.

He is currently being completely overhauled which includes changes to his species, name, personality and other such. Along side this, the intention behind his creation is being changed. Originally created to be a simple OC, he is now being remade with the idea of having a character who fits into the Tennis Ace game as well as possible as a love interest introduced in Day 1 like every other love interest. (Unless you don't decide to go to the Music Room to which I ask, why would you not go to the enchanting music man?)

Now, this is simply just the intention behind his creation and he remains a fan character. So while he is being made in mind as a character Yuuichi would be able to pursue as a romantic interest and have join the group if he was in the game, this OC is not in the game.

Despite this however, lots of work is being put into him with the help of numerous individuals and we are working with the idea that he would fit. As if he was there from the beginning.

Because of this, I believe some of you would be interested in what sort of character he is, his species and the way he would interact with the main group (Yuuichi, Jun, Keisuke, Shoichi & Saya) if he was in the game.

This is the thoughts that we too as his creators have. After all, the idea behind him is that he doesn't feel like an OC but feels like a character who is actually in the game as one of the main love interests.

I will be sharing information and details about him as they are made but keep in mind that quite a lot of it is subject to change. So some information might become false.

Lastly, I would be honoured if Basky, our favourite french fox and the wonderful artist Nya would all give there impressions on this character as he is being made.

Who knows, maybe they like him enough to actually add him? (This is just a wild fantasy of me, the nerd. It is unlikely to ever happen unless Basky feels like it could improve upon Tennis Ace. Because while we might feel like his inclusion could improve the game, it could also ruin the game from Basky's point of view or make it too hard to work on. Yet I still would love to hear his impressions on the character anyway along with the others.)

If you have any questions, you can likely find out the answers in the Tennis Ace Disc where discussion about this OC and other OC's are being had, along as simply a place for Tennis Ace fans to hang out! You can talk about Tennis Ace, RP, Discuss OC's and Fan Theories or maybe just meet some cool people, as we have other channels where you can talk about non Tennis Ace related things as well!

The reason's it's split was because I was unaware disco was a banned word. So when I tried to upload it, it wouldn't work. I split it up to try finding out what word was banned.

I wasn't paid by anyone, I'm simply doing this purely because it's fun and I'm doing it with help from the Disco.

Why would anyone even pay someone to advertise a fan made Disco...in a thread already dedicated to the game? It doesn't give the game more advertisement because the game is already advertised here. And the Disco doesn't give anyone money, it's just a fan thing.

So it makes zero sense.

So far it seems that the player is the bottom. From reading all the dialog, there doesn't seem to be a calculator for determining positions like Extracurricular does. I think some characters can be bottoms and the MC can top but it might be based on there personality.

Tennis ace is so terrible, pacing is off and all over the place. Shoichi, keisuke and jun's routes are all so slow that it feels like torture to read through the dialogues just to get to comparably "good" parts.
All characters are cutout cardboards and not really funny. Author probably tried to hard to imitate japanese vn tropes but they all talk like mentals and inappropriate given the situation.
MC, though has a personality, is rather annoying and unlikable. Not gonna blame author if this was intentional.
The character selection does not make any sense chronologically, and for technical part, I can't even roll back the dialogues or see the history of the "character routes" for some reason, the history got cut off from the end of tennis match with that akita dog.

Knew about this VN for a while, but never played it until recently. I've very much enjoyed what I've read so far, and my only regret is that I read Shoichi's route first because I fell for him HARD. I tried going down Jun's route and I just couldn't get invested. Keisuke doesn't interest me as a romance option so I might not play his.

>>1666018
I do agree that things can be paced a tad bit better. A lot of the dead conversation is banter between the characters and a tendency to repeat information a lot. They didn't kill my experience too much because some of the banter is really nicely written, but the constantly repeated plot points are a bit unnecessary. It'd be better if the delivery wasn't always the same.

As far as the tennis sections go, TA (and ECA) could stand to include special CGs to spice it up and bit. In TA, we get a character standing there going though various expressions and nothing else. I wouldn't say remove them, because I like the Prince of Tennis moments, but the devs could make them more entertaining.

That's one of the worst mistake an author or VN company (yes Nitro+Chiral I'm talking to you) can do for their game.
Sure, you can have for yourself the True Ending (just because you like it or as a way to keep the focus/track of the story), but you don't ever reveal it to people because this can lead to frustration.
Shoichi's route is my favourite (and I can see many Twitter's fanarts have same line of reasoning), but me knowing the True Ending is Jun just kills a bit of my gaming experience.
Why should I invest my time and heart in a route that I know is just there for... I don't know? Because I can fool myself if I don't like author's canon route?
I do like Jun, but Shoichi is a superior choice, imo.

haruki is meant to have a short 'bonus' story at some point. donno if it'll involve yuichii or be independent of his story or not.

also, this pic has been making the rounds, so enjoy it.

As I know, he will get some scenes (inside Shoichi's route, but I dunno he will be a datable character

We'll see how it goes in the long run, but you can sorta see it with the initial events that are just before the final route splits. Jun easily has the most events compared to the other two.

In my oppinion these extra events before the final route split are Yuuichi getting closer to these love interests. So it makes sense why Shoichi has the least events and Jun has the most. Shoichi is Yuuichis childhood friend so they are already very close. Keisuke is in the middle because he is already in the friend group but obviously not as close to Yuuichi. And Jun gets special treatment with many events because he is the new kid around the block Yuuichi barely knows him at the start of the game so for him to believably fall in love with him they have to get alot closer hence why he needs morre events.

I know at Jun's route, Saya thanked Jun for changing Yuu in the right direction. I dunno that similar happened during Sho's or Kei's route too.

Nobody's really had any discussion in the past forever so to spark some interest back up I'll share a theory I have

Between Haruki's stated preferred playstyle that the narration points out as being childish and him wearing a shirt for a small kid's show, I have the feeling that when he's at home and no longer puts up his rough exterior he indulges in a LOT of children's media
It's very common for people who were abused from a young age to seek comfort in stuff intended for kids far below their age, as a sort of compensation for the childhood that was figuratively taken from them by their tormentor(s)
