Chapter 14 Beta and Beyond
Added 2024-08-12 18:45:12 +0000 UTCHey everyone~!
After a long, uphill battle, I’m thrilled to announce that Chapter 14 is now complete! It’s in its final form, just missing two CGs near the end. This chapter has been the most complex I’ve ever created, with a whopping 12,000 lines of code – easily double, if not triple, the length of a usual chapter. But I truly believe the effort has paid off with this build's stunning angles and scene transitions!
As a special treat, I’ve also included revamped Chapters 1 through 4 and Alpha versions of Chapters 15 through 17 for you to explore. This is my way of saying thank you for your unwavering support during this tough time. Additionally, a timer is now set for the public release, which will be happening in two weeks.
I hope you all enjoy what’s in store!
Best regards,
~Kael

2025-09-01 05:51:47 +0000 UTCid suggest downloading and playing the earlier releases to play the first few chapters. As newer releases has happened some of the parts from older chapters have gotten bugged. But yeah, go back and download the earlier releases for less bugs. hope this helps!

2025-06-01 10:30:18 +0000 UTCHi! Recently I bought the subscription to get this novel from ch 1 to 17. And here's the problem . The visuals at the end of chapter 4 are broken; stuck on a picture with Ranok in the background of his house till the end. Besides, chapters from 5 to 8 are completely absent. 🙁 What do I do??

2024-09-21 10:48:31 +0000 UTCFinally started the novel a week or two ago and finally caught up. Such an amazing read and I can't wait to read more. It's great to see it's still being worked on!

2024-08-24 22:16:14 +0000 UTCI find that subterfuge can help processing a lot. I got back into reading, and visual novels were the thing I hyperfixated on. Still hoping to one day get my hands on a Ranok plush heh I was a month too late to get one. I'll keep reading if you keep writing! Thank you <3

2024-08-24 07:58:33 +0000 UTCCongratulations on the latest update. It flows beautifully, and the improvements on the previous releases are remarkable. The quality of the illustrations is excellent. A very minor bug is that if you accept the default name for MC, this comes up as an alternative and a primary name during the Strandbard period. "Dont call meCaelan, call me Caelan."

2024-08-22 16:32:22 +0000 UTCI'm sorry for your loss, but I am glad that something I made helped you get through it. I've experienced loss myself, and working on this project was an escape from reality.

2024-08-19 09:59:00 +0000 UTCOh yea sorry forgot to delete this, it seemed to fix itself. Must’ve just been a mega server error or sum.

2024-08-16 00:14:40 +0000 UTCThanks for letting me know. I hope that once the old VN is merged with the new one, and all faulty lines of code are removed, there will be less such unexpected exceptions. :)
Kael Tiger
2024-08-14 10:17:43 +0000 UTCI was able to get it working. The problem may have had something to do with running it from my external hard drive. I unzipped it on my desktop and it works fine. Hope this helps anyone else who may run into the issue!

2024-08-14 04:56:10 +0000 UTCI wanted to ask, will have an actual drawn sex scene, or will it be just described as in the beta?

2024-08-14 00:41:40 +0000 UTCNo rush Kael. Thank you for all the love you put into your characters, art and storytelling.

2024-08-13 17:13:04 +0000 UTCI'll have to investigate this, as I've never seen it before. Also, I don't poses a Mac, so it might take a few days before I can check this over with my friends.

2024-08-12 19:50:52 +0000 UTCToday you made my day Kael. After several months without news, I was really worried and feared that this beautiful novel would be put on hold indefinitely due to the difficult situation you have gone through. Thank you very much for continuing with FBTW and a big hug from Spain.

2024-08-12 19:33:20 +0000 UTCChapters 1-4 are integrated. I hope to have Chapters 5-8 implemented as well by the Public Release at the end of the month.
Kael Tiger
2024-08-12 19:31:07 +0000 UTCWow, this is great, Thanks!! Out of curiosity, will this allow full access to all the prior chapters as well? I know you upgraded the VN software used and this caused some backward compatibility issue so I've kept the old versions to access chapters 1-13.
