不知道程序在想什么，运行一次就在temp里面解压一次。
一次576 MB，多少有点当用户的SSD是白捡的了
谢谢，确实是不知道会有这样的情况，程序也只是半路出家的爱好者。自解压模式的预设中，应该会在运行结束后删除temp中的文件。请问是否有能解决，或避免这种让用户的SSD沦为白捡的状况？还请不吝留言在下方。
他的意思是每次打开游戏都要解压并往SSD里写入576MB的文件，对比起正常的做法，显著增加了SSD的擦写量，对SSD的寿命有影响
虽然我个人觉得影响有限，毕竟大部分人不会每天都把这个游戏打开很多次，正常的做法是游戏更新了，下载打开——体验完当前的剧情——关掉游戏，然后等下一次更新
不过感觉这个自解压加密还是改掉比较好，目前除了SSD寿命的考虑之外，还有被杀软误报的问题
感谢建议！
你好，一般而言应该解压在system temp或者user temp的预设路径下面，但解压在游戏的.itch目录有点不太正常。
is there like english version or is that in the settings??
Hey there,
Yes, you can switch to the English version in the settings. We are currently working on fixing the default language issue.
ight thanks just wanted to make sure :>
666
Man, this was so cool but it's over before you even know it :[
I know, right! We put a lot of time into making it. Thanks so much for playing. Really appreciate it!
Can't wait to see what's to come! Really love this style!
Ok, this is really good. I'm really amazed. Especially the 3d visuals. Pretty sure this must be NaniNovel, as RenPy can't handle this much of complexity. But all in all, I love that you guys sticked with that, so that it gives you the power in experimentation like that, cuz this goddamn really good. I'm excitedly waiting for the second part.
Good luck!
It's a unity game, no idea if they use some plugin or it's all custom
Hey there,
Thanks so much for playing our game and taking the time to dive into it! We really appreciate it!
Hey there,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for noticing the effort we put into the visuals! Yes, you're absolutely right—we used the NaniNovel plugin. By the way, if you know of any other tools or plugins that could enhance our game even further, please feel free to recommend them! We're always looking to improve. Can't wait to bring you the second part!
Why not Android?
As they've disclosed on weibo, the Android version is under consideration.
Hey there,
Thanks for your interest in our game! We're glad to hear you're following our updates. Stay tuned for more news!
Hey there,
We're currently working on adapting it for Android, but it's a bit challenging and still under development. Thanks so much for your interest in our game! We really appreciate it and are doing our best to bring it to more platforms.
Don't call me out like that at the end
Hey there,
Thank you for your feedback. We're not quite sure what you meant by that. Could you explain what bothered you at the end?
lmao nothing bothered me, it was just exactly what I was thinking about
i've played some visual novels before, but this interests me because of the using of 3D animation. I mean, i rarely find visual novel like this. I really enjoyed this VN. i hope i could contribute to the making of this in the future.
I'm just a little bit confused about the story, either because the story hasn't completed or its really complicated. But the pint of viem of the story seems a little bit confusing to me.
But, yeah. overall its very good VN.
Hey there,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed it! Regarding the story's pint of viem, we mainly use third-person with some first-person sections, which might cause the confusion. We'll ensure there is less switching in future chapters.
Yeah i'm also confused who we are supposed to be in the story but i'm sure we'll know in second update
The Installation process completes, but the game still wont open, unfortunate
We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with opening the game after extraction. We are continuously working to improve compatibility and hope to have a better solution soon to accommodate more computer types.
game seems really promising but for some reason when the hanging box scene comes into play the framerate permanantly dies
Allright that's something new, we haven't encountered this problem before. Could you please share your error log with us here? You can find it at C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\NEURASTHENIAStudio\A.W.A.R.E.
I couldnt find what you were looking for but there were no error notifiications during gameplay at least. the animations, textboxs an dialogue simply slow down to the point theyre basically as low as 3-5 frames a second. I played it a few times to be sure and this ONLY occurs after the scene where the Box is reavealed to be hanging on the fence. the animations up until that point with the menu animation and everything else that follows animated fine until that point though
the loading somehow stop half way then no game is showing up
Hey there, It sounds like the game's process might have been blocked by antivirus software or something similar. Perhaps it suspects the game files could be harmful to your computer. Currently, there's no immediate solution to this issue. Maybe you could try running it using a virtual machine on itch.io as an alternative.
Will it be available for Android?
Hey there, we currently don't have plans to develop it for Android. But if anything changes, we'll definitely keep you posted!
Downloading, cuz art style thing has me really curious. If it's like what I think it is this'll be super cool visually
Thank you for downloading and showing interest in the art style of the game!
Yo, I was trying to download this game. It all starts with 1 minute left to download, but by the time it went 70% downloaded, it shoot up straight to 8 hours left to download. I mean, what the heck?
Hey there,
Sorry to hear about the download hiccup! I'm not sure what the issue could be either. Sometimes fluctuations like that can happen due to network congestion or other factors.
When will this VN support other platforms such as Linux and macOS? I’ve been trying to run the .exe through Wine but it stuck on the prologue screen.
Seems like I got it working with Wine, I guess the reason it won’t work because of the current Wineprefix I’m using doesn’t have font for Chinese. But I’m still waiting for port to Linux and macOS platform.
Hi Komo,
Glad to hear you got it working with Wine! It sounds like the missing piece might indeed be the Chinese font within your current Wineprefix. We're also eagerly awaiting the port to Linux and macOS platforms.
Just a heads-up, for text, we're using Roboto-Regular.
I never really played visual novels, but the usage of 3D animation peaked my interest! Saying so though this is so cool,I love my experience with it, the story is intriguing and I love the 3D animation its like playing a movie. I love the usage of the camera and hope more quick action / user interaction is incorporated! I would say though some background music would be nice! Can't wait to see what the next part has instore!
Hi MrMittensMeow,
Thanks for trying out our game and sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the 3D animation and found the story intriguing. We just watched your entire livestream, and I want to thank you sincerely for bringing our game to life with your lively and delightful presentation. Your livestream made our otherwise mundane text come alive! Your feedback about adding more action and background music is noted, and we'll definitely consider it for future updates. Stay tuned for more!
Is good, I really like the style and the story so far and I wanna know more of it. But still needs a lotta fixing up like, manually adjusting the size causes it to error and need to reopen, the save feature doesn't work sometimes, especially after moving through a few pieces of dialogue (After pressing save it doesn't save at all and makes me not press anything, and pressing escape softlocks me even more), there's some lag on the QTE but that could just be my laptop, I also suggest having an autosave feature if possible
Other than that, I like it :
Hi Kemonito Kusuri,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're aware of some issues you mentioned, like the manual size adjustment causing errors and the save feature not working consistently, especially after moving through dialogue. Your suggestion of adding an autosave feature is noted, and we'll explore implementing it in future updates. We'll work on fixing these bugs to ensure a smoother experience.
太厉害了，这是我第一次玩3d全动画的立体视觉小说游戏，这对于其他相同类型的游戏来说绝对是降维打击！必须支持！！！
您好，您的游戏剧情的表现形式眞的很特别很有趣，也能看出你们下了很大的功夫，要说唯一的不足就是第一章太短啦。哈哈，希望能很快玩到下一章。大概需要多久吖。如果后续需要众筹我也一定会支持下去，加油！！！
感谢！会尽快更新的！主要是动画制作比较耗时——
为什么我选中文没有字啊只有英文才能正常显示😕
我是MacBook 是苹果比较爱美国不让我看中文么😕
哈哈哈，这个问题还真是没头绪，应该也不是缺少字体才导致无法显示的吧……
要不安装一下Roboto-Regular这个字体试试？万一呢……
还是不行啊🥲就当给我学英语了 期待mac版这样就不用虚拟机玩了
不得不说这种新的游戏方式真的很亮眼感觉拉开其他的vn一大截
why does anti virus always stops the extraction
Hi Rosaline rose, It is likely due to the encryption. We are seeking a better encryption method to resolve this issue.
第一次玩立體的視覺小說，只能說我非常喜歡!不只音樂很好聽，建模也超帥的，我很期之後的更新:)
谢谢！我们会继续努力的
it seems that game just crashes here. Any solutions that may help me?
(there no error, game just closes at this moment)
https://prnt.sc/PeiXdzcI2ADC
Hi AkimaK, can you send me the error log?
It's stored at C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\NEURASTHENIAStudio\A.W.A.R.E
Thank you.
Hello, im not sure how to send files on itch.io. Can we go to discord to discuss it further? If yes my discord tag is: bum_chik
Thank you
Could you please copy and paste the contents of the error log here, or share it with me via Google Docs? That would be really helpful.
Thanks for understanding!
对感觉其他 VN 来说是降维打击的级别，这个全动画渲染有点厉害，电影镜头也很不错。当然短是缺点，毕竟是这么费时费力的表现形式，肯定需要大量的时间来制作，制作组选了这条路就肯定要变成长线作战了。但是未来这部作品有一定体量之后肯定能成为知名作的！文案看到由主创和一个文案组成，该有的潜台词和设计都不会犯低级错误，可以预见到未来的剧情肯定也是在高水准线上的。总的来说绝对是潜力很大的作品，就看制作组更新速度了。
感谢厚爱，言重了！我们会继续努力！
This is so cool, I've never seen a VN animated like this! I really hope you guys continue making it cause it's really unique and interesting so far.
The english translation is also good, but some sentences are a bit... lengthy? Too descriptive? And it ends up sounding a little unnatural/stiff in some places.
Lastly, more on a technical side, I do wish this just came as a normal archive that I can extract somewhere once and then just play it from there, instead of the game extracting and deleting itself every time.
Hi Redline00, thank you for your suggestions! We will carefully consider and make revisions!
Hi SoraVaan, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your thoughts on the 3D graphics and understand your concerns regarding the gameplay. We will work to improve it!
Looking forward to next update
Thank you so much!
love so much <3
I really like this work.a great VN.its animation is unexpected，3D rendering?
Thank you! Well it's 3D animation.
I had a lot of issues trying to make it run (turn off antivirus, run it as administrator) but as soon as i was able to do it, i felt in love with the VN. KEEP GOING! can't wait for the next update. Loved the character design, loved the animation, loved the sound design / music, loved the story premise.
I
WANT / NEED
MORE
!!!!
My only observation is the Encryption solution you use. This could scare potential out non tech savvy readers. If you can work on that, then the sky will be the only limit :)
Hi WolfDk,
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback and for overcoming the initial setup challenges to enjoy our VN! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the character design, animation, sound design, music, and story premise. Your excitement is truly motivating!
We appreciate your observation regarding the encryption solution and understand it may be daunting for non-tech-savvy readers. We're actively looking into more user-friendly options to ensure our VN is accessible to everyone. Stay tuned for future updates, and thanks again for your support!
已经等不及玩第二章了，棕色大狼狼踩死我
棕色大狼狼！
и куда єто устанавливается без разрешения на установку?
Hello there, the file uses SFX compression, so it doesn't actually install on your system. Each time you run it, it simply decompresses. This means there's no installation required. Let me know if you have any more questions.
хорошо. пусть будет распаковка.
перефразирую.
куда ето распаковывается без разрешения на распаковку. ?
у меня после вашей "распаковки" появилось две папки с аналогичным названием . обе на разных дисках. в каждой по одному текстовому файлу.
куда распаковались остальные 500 мегабайт?
I apologize if there are any misunderstandings in my response, as I am not fluent in Russian.
Allow me to explain this way: The game utilizes RAR's SFX compression, which you can learn more about here: WinRAR SFX Documentation.
This method automatically generates a temporary folder to safely store documents after they are extracted. Additionally, the SFX is set to automatically enable silent mode 2, which omits the start dialog during these operations for smoother processing. This is the extent of my knowledge on SFX compression.
If you have any concerns about the game potentially harming your computer, please feel free to remove it.
Thank you so much.
That was pretty awesome for a first build! Never saw a 3d furry vn before. I'm unsure if we are the wolf, tiger or the sniper lol. I assume we're the tiger boy
Is there a reason you encrypt the game so it installs every time you open it though?
Thank you for playing! I think you actually play the role of the sniper, as this is the only character presented from a first-person perspective. The narrative, however, is delivered in the third person, placing you more as an observer of the unfolding story.
As for the encryption and installation query, the file utilizes SFX compression, which means it doesn’t actually install on your system. Each time you open it, the file simply decompresses, so there's no permanent installation required.
啊啊啊好喜歡趕緊做趕緊做
好好好！
安装时显示这个是什么问题？怎么解决？
这还真是头一次见……您再试试重新下载一次？或者试试看使用itch的运行器下载运行？
Windows Defender treat it like a virus, and the exe refuse to run in a VM. The project is new, the author only have this project, it's HIGHLY suspicious.
If someone has a method to bypass the VM detection, I'll take it but I will not run this on my main OS.
Are you using the Itch desktop client? It has a built-in sandboxed environment for applications: https://itch.io/docs/itch/using/sandbox/windows.html
Hi Noun, Thank you for the solution you've provided. I believe an itch.io virtual machine could address such issues.
Also, thank you, Raconteur32, for your interest in our game. However, this isn't any "HIGHLY suspicious" file. It's merely an encryption done using the default method provided by the encryption software we developers use. After all, we don't possess the technology to develop viruses. If you feel it's inappropriate, please don't hesitate to delete it.
Thank you again for your interests
Does the vn have nsfw content? Or will there be nsfw content added in the future
Hi Lin Htut, we intend to keep the game at a sfw, but it's possible that in the future we might consider adding some "juicy" content in a certain form.
Such an AMAZING work!!! I have never seen this kind of animation FVN before. love it💕 Can't wait to see more already.
Thank you for playing!
what is it with furry projects consistently being so much higher quality than their contemporaries? like I'm not part of this community but I end up taking in so much of their content because their work tends to be better
Wow Thank you! Thank you for playing!
Wow furry!! Anyway, Its good 💕 I'm looking forward for the nezt update hehehe
Thank you for playing!
