Season May

Are you ok?

aint now way not again 😭

Praying to the heavens above that you aint dead rn, cuz if you is. Then istg i will pull you out the firey pits of satan, i will personally drag you out of them lava rivers myself to finish this game lil bro. Demons will DIE, Lucifer himself will be MORTIFIED of the horrors i am about to unleash upon them. 🙏

Hey, man. The vn was amazing, i loved how you wrote each and every characters personality, i also loved how you named b man's cafe the semicolon cafe because the semicolon is a symbol of mental health and suicide awareness since he suffered from depression before. I cant wait for day 5! And also take your time, because quality takes time. But if you havnet already, can you make a social media account where you post updates about the game? I dont wanna sound paranoid, which i very much am, but its been three months and ive been very worried. I hope this doesnt put much pressure on you though, i just want to voice out my concern because im kinda alone and its rare for me to see an actual, good, Visual Novel that distracts me from that. 

I created my account just to comment here. I loved this game so much😭😭 it's so bad that finished, I really hope that you upload more times in future (I so sad to not know your work before because I would love to know you) . I loved your work please don't stop, I would love if I could interact with you because you apper to be a lovely person and this is story is making me anxious because I want to know more about. Good work (sorry if is difficult to read, my English isn't very good)

Oh, it's not often i find games that hit.. That close to the heart. I have too much emotions that i can't convey in comments, but i'd really wish to.
It feels painful to relate on so much levels with some of the characters.

holy fucking shit i came here  expecting next from nothin and all of a sudden i'm fuckin blasted with some of the most well written scenes (especially the depressive ones) that i've ever seen!!
it easily became my favorite vn lmao

great job man, i fucking adore your style and i CAN'T wait to see the next update!

When will you make more of the story i dont want it so end

When I was looking for a novel to play, I came across this game, and the first thing that surprised and attracted me was the concept of the main character: “A fox who bleeds from his ears and nose.” I was very attracted to this, and without thinking twice, I downloaded it. Then I passed it, and I was surprised that it was horror because I didn’t look at the tags initially and didn’t know that it was psychological horror, not just horror. The scene in the cave left an indelible mark on me. I then walked for several more days and had that same scene in my head. The OST is amazing. I'm not listening to it. I'm really looking forward to the next days. The story of Neo and Seth is very interesting. The author needs more patience and strength. I really want to plunge into this world again!

Not going to lie, I never comment on any vn I play (I play a lot) but this one is honestly one of the most enthralling stories I've read in a long time and I absolutely love the art! I binged the entire thing and now I'm eager for the next update! Amazing work! (P.S Android build worked perfectly I believe) 

AHHHHH I'M SO LATE, AGAIN!
but my usual monthly comment after an update has arrived!

First of all, I love all the changes you did even if minimal, it's really is a pain in the ass if you've already got so many sprites to edit and I assure you we'll be happy even if for you it doesn't look quite right since after all you as their creator will see details that most of us won't notice.
Second, I'm astonished with all the backgrounds that you made and 13 music tracks! You really made a lot of work for this update.

[SPOILERS]

Now for the story: You almost made me had a heart attack, heck that disappearing act that Reuben did and the upcoming alphas that might put a stop to all Neo did, almost made me think we'd lose him.
I was surprised that Neo took out an omega like Darhunt in such a short time and (love the sun dagger design) thanks for another 101 of the Kalight body functions 'cause if I didn't know that I'd though Darhunt was a goner.
Is Neo secretly a past Alpha or Omega or something much more endearing?
More to the 101 biology of the Kalightians about their organs, much appreciated but I do have a question, Is their blood some kind of acid? that also tasted good or bad depending on the person and maybe what they eat.

MmmGHhhMm Reuben's scene...
I'm with Neo with this one, it's a bit soon but it's not like we ate, took or drank what was in front of us, they were just helping a buddy blacking a whole colony through a helping hand.
I'm so glad Neo was able to reason with Reuben 'cause if he didn't come with the Jaw Divers I'd manually put an option to stay with Reub and make the game end as one of the endings, glad that wasn't the case.

Ahh the finally a background that isn't a shade of gray, Purple Flesh Colony here we are!
Shame we didn't spend as much time in it like we did in the Black Colony, I really liked the design of the city and it's not as blinding as the White Colony, fortunately B man's bar is just the perfect place to shield my eyes from being blind. Now I wanna know how popular B man's bar is since his blood is so tasteful and the ambience is so moody in such a good way that it'd be like a chill café. Love our interaction with "Fanboy" Darhunt (Only for S'Ferro) and the little bed time story Seth told us.

Here you unlocked a part of DancingSeth.png

I'm not sure what to expect in the next updates since now they have a lot of open options. I won't bother you with the misspellings since there's almost none... depending if you're using American English over Britannic English.

Love from Bon <3 <3 <3
(I'll try to finish the "dancingseth.png" for next update and maybe add something more mmm, Until Next Time!)

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABT THE OST!? Like HELLO?! "Touch me lullaby" is so good!?!? (listening to it on repeat rn this game is so good :3)

Loved the vn and the android thing worked btw!

My favorite Visual novel in 2024

How the hell is this vn so good!?

You know the devs are cooking when the game hasn't even started yet and you get to troll the system by pressing the third choice  "maybe"

😳 Bulge...

BIG FAT FLOPPING FLACCID COCKS! 🤯

🤤 Bulge...

Lol, but in all seriousness 👀

This has quickly become a feel good novel for me 😊 I find myself smiling, and even laughing, with every update. The world is so fascinating and fun to learn about, and while such intricate details would usually make it feel messy, xour style of writing, or perhaps simply the overall delivery of the story, doesn't make it feel strenuous or confusing to read 😌

Xou're doing a great job, btw 🙂 I know, better than most, the struggles of being overly critical on one's self, and while I haven't yet found a better solution other than spending time outside my head, and perhaps receiving encouragement from others, sometimes xou just gotta keep soldiering through! 😋 There are people who love what xou're doing, so just keep doing it! 😉

If i could rate 5 stars I would but sadly I can't (sad Android user noises) this has really got me invested, you my good person (idk wtf ur pronouns r) have mad the perfect mix of drama randomness and comedy ( people say that random does not equal funny but with this it does) I think that this is one of the most original ideas for an fvn I've seen in a while 

P.s. thx for not recycling the good old waking up from a nightmare at the start of the vn that most fvn's have already reused so many times that it's like eating ur shit over and over and over again until it just comes out ur ass as the post taco bell special (might have went a bit to hard there but Idgaf) 

This VN is now my new addction. I Love it, i just LOVE IT, DUDE! ITS SUCH A NEW AND GOOD INVENTION! I wanna know everything! The biology behind them, how the history became to be, how they got there, what's happening, what will happen, who will it be, what is wrong with the superiors, what are theyr plans. I JUST, I NEED TO KNOW!!! THIS VN IS AMAZING! IT HAS EVERYTHING TO ROPE ME HERE FOREVER! NOT ONLY THE LOVE INTERESTS, BUT HOW IT WORKS AND HOW IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE!! I JUST, I LOVE THIS! I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS! PLEASE KEEP GOING MY FRIEND! I Will stay here and wait for as long as necessary, i will keep here am by your side!

I do have to give you props for an original story. It's very strange, I have no idea how you brain thought of something like this.

holy hell you do not need to apologise for being slow for updates! considering you're doing the art, writing, composition and programming by yourself, the rate that updates are coming out is mad. i've seen whole teams come out with smaller updates on far longer timescales!

for some semblence of actual review, this is pretty great! the art is better than most, the music is good enough that i'd listen to it by itself and i absolutely love the worldbuidling. keep going at even half the quality you have right now and you'll have a fvn that's significantly better than most on itch.

The -pc version is playable natively on Linux too (since it has the .sh launcher), but it currently has to be extracted manually there.

If you also select Linux for it like so, it’ll be installable using the itch.io app (which makes that a lot easier on touchscreen devices):

In any case, at first glance this looks interesting, so I’ll try to give it a read soon.

This VN is not the first to make me feel uncomfortable, but has 100% made me feel the most uncomfortable of any VN to date!  That's saying a lot considering the others had much more gore jump scares and general ickyness!

Please understand I don't mean any of this in a negative way, and I feel as though the author is expecting such reactions.

In this VN a compelling story has been created, and I'll fight through those queasy feelings to continue reading new chapters.

Thank you for sharing your works Kideshi.

Hey, If you still need help with making an android version, here's the main steps you'd need to follow:

1) Download RAPT from renpy's website for the renpy version you use, in the public release you used 7.4.9, so the link is: https://www.renpy.org/dl/7.4.9/renpy-7.4.9-rapt.zip

2) Download version 8 of the Adoptium JDK: https://adoptium.net/en-GB/temurin/archive/?version=8

3) Launch Renpy, and Click on 'Android' in the actions category, underneath build distributions. Then install the SDK and create keys. Keep the keys you create safe.

4) Go back to the `Android` section, and click `Configure`, and follow the prompts.

This sets up your environment to build android versions, but there are some code changes needed for the full experience. Basically any graphical changes you've made, need to have a mobile variant declared. To do this, you copy the style, and add `variant "small"` or `variant "touch"`, depending on the context, to it.

Things that need to be changed:

-The textbox needs the new sprite. You can just remove the `phone/` part in the `style window`, under mobile variants.

-Choices menu needs to be changed. They currently go way to the right. Duplicate the choice screen, add 

variant "touch"

Then you can replace the area parameter with 

ysize 0.6
align (0.5, 0.5)

This gives a more scalable, and less hard coded variant for mobile.

-You'll probably want to add a 'Hide' button for mobile users, as they can't middle mouse button. Adding this code to `screen quick_menu` will add it:
`textbutton _("Hide") action HideInterface()`

I don't know if there's any other screens that don't work on mobile, but these are the main ones.

After this, you can build the android version. You'll want to build a universal apk, not the playstore version. It'll take a while, but afterwards, you'll have an apk. You can install this on your phone to test, or with an android emulator.

Edit: Sorry for the wall of text lol. Let me know if you need any more help, or if I was unclear with something.

Will there be an Android version? 

I’ve been absolutely loving this vn so far. Everything you’ve built feels so intentional from the world, the characters, the music, and just the overall atmosphere in general. And I like how the story has a dark ambience to it while still having uplifting and likable characters.

The world building has been awesome so far. I really like how much effort you’ve put into creating depth to the culture of the Black Colony—with the artifacts, the bedtime stories, and just everything. The anatomy and foods of this world are also really fascinating. I love how you're not afraid to design the world in a way that may seem strange or unorthodox. It creates this great sense of mystery where, as the reader, I’m always curious what I’ll discover next.

I feel like Neo, specifically, has been a really compelling character and protagonist. He always seems to be considering people's feelings about things, making sure they’re ok, and making sure to not implicate them into things they're not comfortable with. I really like how caring and perceptive he is towards the people around him—especially when they’re feeling down. It warmed my heart to see how much of an effort Neo made to get Reuben to open up (and include him in the friend group) rather than letting him drift off into loneliness and isolation. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of self-isolation, and I’ve faced it in my life quite a bit in my own life. So, I really admire how much he recognizes the importance of reaching out to people when they need it.

This VN has been such an amazing read so far. Thank you SO MUCH for making this!!!

Also wondering, is the title "Season May" symbolic of something? I’m just curious.

I really love what I've seen of this VN, aside from a few sections that could use some more efficient grammar, it's all great. All of it.

Now to wait for the next update, so that I can use the detonate button again after I'm done.

Your game came out of nowhere for me, and I must admit the concept alone made me curious and I played it and I definitely enjoyed how you've built your story

Red Neo hahahahaha

My only complaint is the red background of itch page hurts my eyes, not sure if intentional 

AAAHHH I'M SO LATE! 

sorry for being so tardy. 
Anyway, You've done it again, I'm absolutely blown away by everything you've wrote and THE MUSIC, oh the music is always top notch, I'll be waiting for day 4 AFTER the Christmas vacation's are over, so Kideshi I ask of you not to be so hard on yourself and get a nice winter vacation.

[SPOILERS AHEAD]
So first of all, I love the cooking tutorial with seth giving us a Kalightian Culinary class instead of the usual Biology one, which I still adore.
I hope we'll have more time to cook and eat whatever Seth and Neo made, especially if Seth will bend over every time to pick up a utensil~
hopefully though, next time we won't have to bleed by thinking of negative memory to get the sizzling started.

Oh my, the Endomycha scene, at least we got some new info about Seth's past and ahem kink cough* and by the way, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but is the "sexy color gray" supposed to be a reference to 50 shades of gray? Either way *Vomits*

Hope you like the magazine I found laying on the ground of the treasure room. (That Demented shark on the ceiling gave me a such a scare that I stumbled down and found myself face to face on this very explicit magazine.)

Returning to the Endomycha scene, man oh man, The Jaw Divers are gonna have additional trauma on top of what they had plus I didn't expect that being horny woudld save us, but I ain't complaining especially with the view that I got~ *Whistle* I gotta give it to ya, those were some nice assets and rods that you've shown us, alas, if I could only touch them instead of just our own... nontheless, thanks for the show.

Now, talking about the music...
"Touch Me Lullaby" is such a song that I could describe such as a simple "laying in bed and listening to the rain outside hitting the glass accompanied by a broken Vinyl playing in the background" but I must interpret what I saw or felt during that lullaby.
It starts with a nice melody accompanied by a sound in the background that could be paragonized as the sound of the rain, soon after if I listen intently, I think I hear someone humming, now I'm envisioning 2 people that may be the same but not quite. The sound of the rain now is accompanied by a rumbling of a machine, the 2 of them are inside the car and as the young one sits in the back humming that song, the car moves faster and faster until it goes off from a bridge or a cliff and suddenly the melody becomes dull, like someone was drowning it, submerged into the water and it's not constant, It's like having brief flashes of memories of what happened before it all crashed down, repeating that nice lullaby on loop.
Sorry if I'm killing the mood like Reub'o but I just hope you've healed from whatever happened in year 12.

From what you've written anger seemed to be the solution against being depressed, and it might be a good one at the start but anger usually subsides after a short period of time, therefore Lust was the next solution which was more constant as we have more stuff to be horny instead of being angry at one thing for so long, yet I can't help that by the last part you've written, Companionship was the best thing someone like Neo could've ever got, especially since it's people who understand him, It's nice, I've quite teared up at that point. As always great job, You've created yourself a beautiful cult.
I'll be waiting patiently for day 4 and some explanations about the farm in which Seth was in, hopefully withouth encountering Siro, if we'll encounter him I'll personally give him a sucker punch for whatever he did to Seth.

P.S I'm gonna ruin the mood again, sorry. Again I noticed a misspelling before the treasure room and after the Endomycha scene. You wrote at the end "Roof aboce" I think you may have intended to write "Roof above".
It's really a minor error, not even worth noticing, so don't be hard on yourself

Holy...I am...still kinda recovering from the emotional whiplash here.

I don't wanna say too much cuz I don't wanna spoil things for others or rehash stuff I've already said in previous comments but hoo...

...Good stuff. Fucked up in more ways than one. But still good! Hope whatever you're going through right now isn't TOO horrible/serious. The only advice I can give is not to stress too much about getting updates out every month. I, for one, am totally enraptured with this story and while I'm eager to see more I'm also willing to wait as long as it takes.

As I hinted at in my little bit of fanfiction I wrote, I'm also going through a rough patch in my life, so I can sort of relate in a way? Probably nothing as serious as the trauma Neo and the gang have faced, but yeah. I'm constantly battling my own demons as well. 

Hang in there! Like I said before you've got a big fan in me. Hope you're doing okay and looking forward to seeing more!  

So already the cooking tutorial I'm not going to give the details I had things that don't make you want to taste Seth and Neo's cooking it's even almost weird like a sort of panna gotta recipe but version of death but as my friend just said in the comment towards the bottom is true it was incredibly scary and sexy~~~ I don't think I'll see Seth Neo (Roy) Reuben B. MAN naked with their big package😂🤣

Well you really worked hard, I congratulate you, even the community definitely enjoyed DAY 3, honestly, but I don't think I'll see the naked characters hahah but good job.

Really good and interesting novel the sprites look soo good i appreciate your hard work

I love it looking foward to see more of the boys the story and everything! I might have found the next boy's sprite in the files but i wont spoil him to others.
