I really like the game, I'm still semi new to the world of visual novels but this is very different from the other ones I have played, then such a heavy cliff hanger im interested in the next update 👍
so whoever made that art of the oscar has all of my love cause holy- his energy is so bright... and damn that sudden change when lucas was embarrassed caught me off guard the cliffhanger pains me so much
I wanna add to the Comments. I think this is the best game start I've seen in a long time. This set the bar so high and i hope it stays up there, i really have high hopes for this one. Literally great writing, amazing character choice. Great CGs (people who played this through know why). This could be the best VN out there if it continues like this. I can't think of anything to add but keep up the work.
I loved the first build of the novel, though I think it's a little bit obvious who the favourite character out of the three are x) Played through all routes and I like the major differences between the characters. I personally like Lucas more than Oscar and Leigh, but all three characters have their own charms, let alone Wallace being adorable in their own right! :)
The only "issue" I guess I have is the pacing seemed to just go out of wack and suddenly in a, I'm guessing, dream state/ dream scene? Like, when you choose to sit down next to someone, then you get up after a text and suddenly need to save someone from being hung? Just seems sudden and a weird change of pace for me. I'm not a writer personally, so maybe my advice isn't the best, but I feel like it'd be better on the reader if it were worded differently, or if it were presented differently. Otherwise, I do like the direction that this novel is going, and it will be one that I keep up to date with! I love romance / horror series like Echo and TSR and I think this has the capability to reach such stardom! <3 I'd love to be apart of the discord and the process of this VN being built upon, giving feedback where needed :)
Personally, I love the 3 of them each one are absolutely charming in his own way (Oscar: sexy and love teasing/ Leight: mysterious, class, calm and really kind/ Lucas: sharp-tongue but really shy with knowledge of his own defaults, with a sweet heart inside) ^^
this is awesome hope to see more I just finished Oscar route but I will do the Possum route Leigh if I remember and I will do Lucas route soon but I will tomorrow I can't wait for other stuff that would be awesome.
Violet Memoir? More like GOLDEN MEMOIR HOLY COW. Seriously have never played a visual novel build for the first time and have been as excited for the next update, ever. I mean, an enticing story revolving around a serial killer and trying to dissect how she lost her marbles, well-written characters that aren't just one dimensional for love interests, a JAW-DROPPING nightmare sequence coupled with a skin-crawling score for maximum tension and dread? I mean geez the only thing that could have been the proverbial cherry on top for that part is if there was a CG of the boy of interest you chose just to help showcase the disfiguration Wallace described. I've already played all 3 routes twice because it's just that good. (Ashleigh is my favorite for his mother hen personality but Oscar is a loveable flirty goof and Lucas is the spicy fox that's never afraid to tell it like it is. Even having a favorite though I would be happy ending up with any of them <3)
If you can stomach the horror I would definitely recommend trying this to anyone. I AM HOOKED.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that you're excited for the next build! We'll hopefully be pumping these out each month. Leigh is definitely a great choice for a favorite, so I'm ecstatic you love him so much.
I love hearing about the parts you enjoyed, I really hope you'll enjoy how the story unfolds especially learning more about these characters I love.
Hello VioletMemoir ! I'm just finish to play your VN: and it's was really really good^^ ! good job, please continue !
But I have one question: the background song named "peaceful" in the audio files, what is his real name and who is the artist who make it because it's really a beautiful song and I want to know who made this...
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Peaceful was a royalty free song made by Luca Fraula. All the songs in the files are in the about section in the title screen.
It's currently undecided. I'll be talking to my patrons after a couple of builds asking for their thoughts on if it should stay sfw or not. If it comes to it, I could just do versions with both.
Absolutely been loving the story so far. My only gripes are that the music abruptly stops sometimes instead of being gradually slowed down (ok for certain parts though) and the loops of it isn't as smooth as I'd like to be. By no means am I an expert on the topic but I just figured I'd give my opinion on that.
All 3 of the guys are endearing in their own way and I always have to really think about what my main route would be. Oscar best boi don't @ me but Lucas is just so adorable. Not as interested in Leigh but I'm sure that if I bothered to get to know him more I'd love him as much as the other two.
If the quality of this keeps up then it'd sure get people talking like some of the other VNs around.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I love that we're playing as Wallace and not as ourselves. We don't need to literally be in the story to be invested. Honestly not throwing shade on other stories that let us do it however
Thanks for the kind words! I'll keep the quality as high as I can. Our releases likely won't be as large as this until we can get a programmer and editor hired on staff, it takes a lot of time to edit and rewrite. So releases from here on out will be 10k until then.
I'm glad you like that Wallace is the protagonist instead of a self-insert. I've always found stories to be stronger with an established protagonist but I understand people's desire to self-insert.
The game so far has been amazing. I love seeing new fur-tastic VN's (i know pun) This is def giving me echo vibes in both theme and quality and I'm excited to see whats next.
The fact that this is tagged horror has me interested and the character designs are great(big fan of the possum) definitely will give it a shot as I'm always intrigued by horror in the furry genre.
Also can I have the artists names? I'd like to see more of their work and give them a follow on their pages if possible.
Edit: I found the artist nevermind. Now I'm off to download this Novel! Can't wait to see what you've got in store for me
I'm glad you like their designs and were able to found what you needed. Once you've read what we got so far, I'd love to hear your opinion and feedback.
For starters, the characterization of the cast is very nice! I didn't expect to take as much of a liking to Lucas as I did and the other members are a delight as well.
The writing while good had some typos I see throughout nothing huge that can't be fixed with a quick patch.
The choice of music also really helped the scenes feel more emotional your composer is definitely doing their job well.
The art is all very nicely done as to be expected from Shuik and everyone is drawn in a unique style that fits their personality.
The setting while a bit "cliche" (though to be honest every setting is) the horror and the story revolving around the diary and the mystery of the events behind it are very intriguing and I'm already crafting theories in my head.
All in all I'll be sure to give it a solid 5 stars when I upvote it. It has enough of a solid ground to to become something great and you're team made a good first impression can't wait to read more.
Also if you're looking for thoughts on the NSFW proposal I've seen mentioned I'd say I certainly wouldn't say no to a option to eventually get frisky with the love interests but even if it never happens the story is solid as is and will be enjoyable with or without spicy content.
Really like the VN so far, but some parts of the story before the first choice are kinda long to read but after that is so much nicer, love the thrilling part with the soundtracks. It's possible if you make two versions SFW and NSFW, some animation with the eyes and a Discord Server for everyone to talk more abt the VN (and easier if you have smth to said to everyone too)
That's undecided yet. I will be running a patreon poll later on gathering thoughts on how people want to approach that, whether they want to keep it sfw or not. If it comes to it, I'll do both and give the option to turn it off.
Having that toggle in the options probably would be the best of both worlds. Given what a flirt Oscar is, it would be sad not to actually see some of what is alured to in action. Besides, I think at the end of the day the horror/trauma/psychological thriller elements are way more graphic and disturbing than anything sexual could be.
It is true that this story will already be touching on some rather adult themes but I do think those are more accessible than nsfw scenes. I'd likely do a toggle but we'll see! As for Oscar, lets just say there's a lot more to the eye regarding him and his advances towards Wallace.
Thanks for playing and for the kind words! This is just as much Wallace's story as it is the others', so changing his name feels a little unfair to him. He isn't meant to be a self-insert and it would be a disservice to treat him as such.
Great game! Ironically enough I found a typo in your request to contact you if we find typos It should be. "It will be greatly appreciated" But overall it's been a fun experience so far and I can't wait to see more of Leigh!
When otter first appears, 2 lines right after he speaks, they are duplicate
"wave of sounds" should be "waves of sound", else something like "the many sounds" ???
When possum first appears "his ear are missing" should be "his ear is missing"
*bites my paw because that CG is priceless!*
Another line referring to Lucas on day 2, is repeated
There are a few "T"'s before words/lines that start with T, so extra T's
I know you are only just skipping to the important stuff, but I feel like day 2 morning before class, even if brief would be nice, as well as something at the restaurant they must have gone to, same goes for day 3, as well as bedtime (though I think that has been ok so far). Its fine if you gloss over/abbreviate some stuff, but don't omit it entirely. Can be used for gathering more of Wallace's thoughts on things.
HOLY S***!!! O..O ..........
Well can't call that a cliffhanger if there nothing to hang onto, now can ya? ^^;
Damn... that went peddle to the mettle!, but now wondering if I go back to that second decision point, does it change what happens somewhat? I think I'll check!
If you do want to make a discord server, I'd say do it as of or after build 3, but before build 4. That way there is time to build incentive/following for both reader and creators.
Thanks for the mistakes! I think they likely just occurred during the rewrite phase. As for the whole missing scenes, I really wanted build 1 to reach that horror segment within its first build, so I cut out a lot of fluff.
I'm currently deciding if it would be best to add a discord for my project! I'm not entirely sure if I should but if there's enough support then I would!
Wow, thanks for sharing this with us! Its really intense. I've already fallen in love with the fox, and the way this demo ends just leaves me all kinds of nervous/worried for him and the MC. I want to know, no honestly now I just want to be able to save them from whatever this is....
Obviously Im sold, please let us know if you can an estimate of when we can continue the story. Honestly not usually my cup of tea, i preffer happier slice of life type VNs but the characters are really compelling. There's all kinds of issues here that beg for exploring, and maybe solving?
Sorry my thoughts are all over the place with this one. The only clear thing in my mind is that I want more! Thats the best compliment I can think to give any writing, and in this case its well earned. Thanks again!
Hello, Its been awhile since I find a new VN that is this promising, probably since Psychic Connections. Loving the art, story and almost the perfect way to introduce this into the FVN Community. Its intriguing & can feel the psychological thriller vibe like in Echo VN. If this keeps up, will be one of my favorite VNs!
I am part of the official FVN Community Discord Server. If you ever want to promote your VN more or just wanna get to know and hangout with other Furry VN Developers to learn new stuff, get feedbacks, tips & networking, I highly recommend joining if you have discord. https://discord.gg/K3d2RVrWT9
This server has a lot of helpful people and a nice atmosphere. Almost 100 VN Devs have joined so far. They'll be happy to help you, or if you're looking to hire let's say a programmer or editor, they have the platform provided to do so and with 2,200 members, I think there's a high chance you may get the people you're searching for.
I hope you will enjoy this server & maybe invite others too if you like it. I wish you luck for the future for future builds!
Its a matter of preference. Gotta experience this server yourself first then make the judgement. If you enjoy that one more so be it but I experienced that one before and for me its no where near my enjoyment on this one. Good Day to you Sir!
I can already tell this VN is going to be a banger. The artwork, storytelling, characters, and overall plot of this VN is done so amazingly well. A well done and lengthy introduction to kick off this VN which made this one of my top favorite VNs. Absolutely can't wait for future updates. Keep up the phenomenal work.
A very interesting and intriguing beginning. I hope for an equally good continuation of the story. However, while reading, I noticed that some lines of text appeared twice, or appeared where they should not have been, but this did not spoil the impression of the novel. Interesting characters with their own separate story, which you want to dive into as soon as possible. Of course, I have only passed the beginning of one of the routs so far, but I plan to study everything that is available in the novel at the moment. I would also like to note the high quality of the sprites and individual arts in the novel, which gives an already good story an excellent packaging.

This is like my new VN I'm obsessed with and can't wait for future updates!
I really like the game, I'm still semi new to the world of visual novels but this is very different from the other ones I have played, then such a heavy cliff hanger im interested in the next update 👍
not to be rude or anything but im kind of getting repeat vibes alot alot and im loving it.
Hi

his energy is so bright...
and damn that sudden change when lucas was embarrassed caught me off guard
the cliffhanger pains me so much

Very good VN, i'd love to see more. I really like the good "bad boy" Leigh <3
Who?
Oops my mistake. I have very bad memory for names i meant Leigh
Hello VioletMemoir ! I'm just finish to play your VN: and it's was really really good^^ ! good job, please continue !
But I have one question: the background song named "peaceful" in the audio files, what is his real name and who is the artist who make it because it's really a beautiful song and I want to know who made this...

Many thanks you ^^
Just discovered this VN and I'm gonna give it a try, but first I have to ask, is there currently or will there in the future be NSFW content?
It's currently undecided. I'll be talking to my patrons after a couple of builds asking for their thoughts on if it should stay sfw or not. If it comes to it, I could just do versions with both.
Is the decision poll up right now? I'm asking because I may want to become a supporter and contribute to it
Not yet! I'll likely wait a couple builds before asking that so I have more supporters so I can get a larger sample size for that poll.
Fair enough, I wish you luck with all of this!
Ooooooh I can't wait for more! I'm so happy with the guys and characters and writing so far!
Absolutely been loving the story so far. My only gripes are that the music abruptly stops sometimes instead of being gradually slowed down (ok for certain parts though) and the loops of it isn't as smooth as I'd like to be.

:o
Loving the game so far! would it be possible to make it so that the player can choose the name of the protagonist?
Thanks for playing and for the kind words! This is just as much Wallace's story as it is the others', so changing his name feels a little unfair to him. He isn't meant to be a self-insert and it would be a disservice to treat him as such.
Okay! Just wanted to make sure, I'm okay with the name if it's for a good reason
Great game! Ironically enough I found a typo in your request to contact you if we find typos
It should be. "It will be greatly appreciated"
But overall it's been a fun experience so far and I can't wait to see more of Leigh!
love this game already i need more

Hell, I was reading this in work (had nothing to do at the moment) and it's awesome. Thank you! Made my day go faster :D
Also, at some point the word "To" is mistyped as "TTo" :)
Thank you so much! Sometimes little editing mistakes fall through the cracks, we'll have that fixed in the next build.
😅
Yeah, this was probably just a copy and pasting error.
LOL, I uploaded the picture twice by accident. Sorry about that :v
It's fine.

How is it the "official" FVN discord server? Who owns Furry VN? There's another FVN discord server out there that I enjoy a lot more.
Its a matter of preference. Gotta experience this server yourself first then make the judgement. If you enjoy that one more so be it but I experienced that one before and for me its no where near my enjoyment on this one. Good Day to you Sir!
god...that shot from this is so interesting ima try
Oh fuck yeah, Echo vibes dude. This is gonna be great!
It reminds you of echo?

OMG amazing project , really luv this game !!!
Woah, the game is so amazing :DDDDD
