so lets start off with i ship lucian and boku soooooooooooooooo hard! it made me laugh so hard! its clear a lot of love and effort went into this game :3
Haven't decided yet if it's going to be team Morris or team Toast. I like 'em both.
And I love Boku's white shirt with the three pixelated hearts. He looks the part wearing that. Come to think of it, he looks the part without it as well!
//**WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS* //omfg the relationship between Toast and Jack
//(using the name I used for Player Character in my playthrough)
//is so FUCKING ADORABLE!!!
//I hope it evolves more
//(by choices you make, ECT.) into either a Romantic
//or just Friendship sort of relationship :D
started playing this game about a week ago and i already loveeee it so much. Theres so much love put into it and its chatacters which just makes them feel so alive. cant wait for the next update and im a number one toast fan
i'm really in love for this game, even if i'm brazillian i'm enjoying this history. When go out more updates? (congratulation for this amazing game and also sorry about my engllish :3)
Edit: will you have plan for translate in portuguese in the future?
Thank you for playing the game. We are glad you are enjoying it. We are still working on updates, with them coming first on Patreon, but at the moment we need to do our Kibbleton University update first.
I'm really not sure how close I am to being done with what the vn has in store for now but even less than an hour in I love everything about this!! Story, characters, art, I'm obsessed! You couldn't get me to read anything longer than 10 pages but I'm locked into this lol. (And I love coming up with voices for the characters)
We update one route at a time. This update was for Toast's route. For information on which route gets updated, check out our devlog that releases with each update.
So far, I'm loving this! Early on in Morris' route. The writing is great, the humor is wonderful, and there's generous use of basic animations. SUPER kudos for putting in the effort NOT to mirror sprites when it would be obvious (the store uniforms, the hearts shirt, Morris' arm, etc). I notice some characters don't have speaking sprites (like Vendrake), but this is still a very early build from the version number.
You also managed to make a flamboyantly gay character that doesn't drive me up the wall, and in fact is someone I care for, with King. (I'm bi, so it's not the sexuality of those characters that gets to me.) He's bright, confident, and affectionate without being overbearing and in-your-face. I can't wait to see how things turn out for him!
I noticed how linear it was, and coming back here I see its "mostly kinetic" so that explains things. That said, I think you might want to consider changing the narration from second person to third, since Kobu is clearly his own character, and because it's so linear. I don't feel like I'm Kobu the same way as other VN protags because of how few choices we get. So maybe make it third-person? (I know that's a LOT to rewrite, so I understand if you decide not to ^^; )
I super-appreciate that you actually have multiple body shapes available for paths--you've got the twink, the bara, and the beefcake. As a fan of softer guys, I think it's awesome that you're letting us choose like this. All three also are quite interesting. Lucien's stuck up, but clearly concerned and good at heart; Morris is surprisingly crafty for a boar (yay pigs!) and down to Earth; and Toast is adorably off the wall. As well, I've noticed that your nipples are...actually pretty tame, and that's kinda refreshing. They don't try and draw your attention, they're very simple and convey what you intend. (At least on Kobu so far, dunno how it is on the others.)
Overall, this is a lovely project, and I can't wait to see where this goes. If the story itself is already complete, as in we get an ending, I'll be VERY impressed since this is such an early build! Keep working hard, looking forward to more :)
Agree with a lot of what you said; and I am so glad someone else mentioned the character stills! Those little details like seeing Morris' watch on one side and not the other show a lot of care and go a long way.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, though we make no promises we can adapt all raised points, we will continue to strive forward to producing a good game!
FerreTrips' comment about the second point view story telling did get me curious about your thoughts.
O I love about WTDL is how unique of a character Kobu is. He has his own personality, goals, and faults; and I think the choices we get are an extension of what could happen based off of Kobu's experiences and behavior. On one hand, I can see how it could make the reader feel less like Kobu; but on the other, I think it makes for a more dynamic character for this story rather than having a "blandish" character that could fit the player's personality.
Anyway, my main question was: was there any reasons why you chose to use a second point of view for the story? I think it works well, but did you debate about using a different point of view?
The POV was thought about in the development phase of the demo. It came down to a few factors:
1. The writer's experience was writing in the second person. 2. The use of "I" at the point of planning the writer thought it might cause a disconnect, as it implies the character is the player, but the character does not talk or choose things the same way as the character, so it didn't feel suitable. 3. Then there was the option to go third person which at the time felt like it was against the goal of having the player feel like they are int he adventure, but recent reception seem to indicate people don't mind a third person perspective, but it's too late to change now. 4. That's why second person was chosen as the middle ground of not too immersive and not too little immersion.
I LOVE THIS VN SO MUCH BUT IM TO ADDICTED TO THIS I NEED NEW UPDATE 😭 BECAUSE I SUPER LOVE READING THIS IS MY HAPPINESS 💗AND I LOVE MORRIS SO MUCH AND KOBU😭❤️
I have only finished Lucien's route but its a fun visual novel. Plus I genuinely smiled when I saw some familiar thing in my life that none VN might explore. (ChickenRice )
I really got invested into visual novels recently and by far this is one the best I have seen so far even though it's incomplete also i recommend other visual novels if like romantic/lore heavy novel I recommend "Repeat"(it's nsfw so I warned you ) or the other visual novel "kibbleton University" (it's also nsfw) made by the same team that made WTDL
I'm always left smiling after each update 😁 especially after Toast's~ he's such a feel good character for me 😋
I must applaud the team for all the hard work that's been put into this project, because not only does it look good, but it FUNCTIONS well. All the sprites, animations, UI, it's all great 😌
It's crazy to think how far xou've come from the original demo where Kobu left hell on vacation and had random sex to this full fledged tale with a compelling storyline! 😊 It's been such a fun journey
I'm really excited for the future of this VN, please keep up all the AMAZING work! 💜
I played it and its really good! I hope there will be more soon and i can't wait...... (i want to be able to pursue a relationship with morris in the full game....i really like him)
Iowa 100% ahead over heels for Fortis I'm going to be honest if I'm not able to get to a point where I have the main character begging to get smashed by Fortis I'm going to be a little bit sad.

Haha thank you so much for your support!
kobu and toast all the way! (I hope there's more updates! :D )
Thanks Jack! We'll keep working!
Just wondering but is Amare on the autism spectrum? I'm getting extremely strong neurodivergent vibes from him.
Perhaps, perhaps, but its possible he is quirky that way.
i love the story and the art so muchhhh!! i cant wait for new updates to the story!! o(^▽^)o
(i ship kobu and lucian btw hehe)
Thank you for the fun comment!
cool artstyle!!!!! plus its cute tooo!!!
Thanks!
Haven't decided yet if it's going to be team Morris or team Toast. I like 'em both.
And I love Boku's white shirt with the three pixelated hearts. He looks the part wearing that. Come to think of it, he looks the part without it as well!
Thanks, the clothes are all something we wish we can wear too
impressive~
tq
Friendship is Magic! That includes ghostly relationships.
(Spoiler-ish)
"I want to have a baby."
"That's great, whose going to be the mother?"
"You."
"Dios mio!"
😄💖💖 This made my crackle, I love WTDL sm <3
funny!
I need Lucian man, I need him so badly. He and everyone else would be adorable as a plush
Mmm, WTDL plush would be nice.

Aww thanks, welcome to Toast's Crew!

And no problem your english is understandable.
Great job on this update! Very immersive visual and sound effects! Also terms for fan translations show professionalism!
Yaa thank you for enjoying the game!
3rd comment of the day, apologies but I think I found a typo, Is this meant to say retain? (after "yet you")
oh no that's correct, they don't have a body but retain their base desires.
I'm really not sure how close I am to being done with what the vn has in store for now but even less than an hour in I love everything about this!! Story, characters, art, I'm obsessed! You couldn't get me to read anything longer than 10 pages but I'm locked into this lol. (And I love coming up with voices for the characters)
(I specifically and confidently envision amare with junkrats voice from overwatch )
Personally, I hear Amare with Mandark's voice in my head.
HAHAHA...HAHAHA...HAHAHAHA
Honestly, that's also entirely valid
exactly whos route did u guys update....is it for all of them or just one????
We update one route at a time. This update was for Toast's route. For information on which route gets updated, check out our devlog that releases with each update.
AHHHHHHHHH. The new CG in Toast's route at hot spring was such a blessing.
Thank you and thank you for the typo found. We appreciate the notice
There is a great need for a Chinese translator. Can the author consider it?❤❤❤

Here is a Chinese fan translation of the game up to V 0.13 from Team Aurora
Alguien sabe si en algún momento lo traduzcan al español??
This VN suddenly got me into DILFs. Demons I like to ****.
Friend? :3
this VN deserves a fanwiki
That be a sweet dream
Almost Nut Experience, really!? hahaha!
Indeed!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s interesting to see a bit of the writing process.
Have you considered translating into Chinese?

I have only finished Lucien's route but its a fun visual novel. Plus I genuinely smiled when I saw some familiar thing in my life that none VN might explore. (
ChickenRice )We'll do give the other routes a try, who knows how that might change your experience.
I really got invested into visual novels recently and by far this is one the best I have seen so far even though it's incomplete also i recommend other visual novels if like romantic/lore heavy novel I recommend "Repeat"(it's nsfw so I warned you ) or the other visual novel "kibbleton University" (it's also nsfw) made by the same team that made WTDL
(Sorry if I promote another visual novel)

Aww, that is so sweet, thank you so much for your awesome comment and thank you for playing the game.
not to be rushing, but when can we expect the next update? thanks! ;3
I suppose in one hour?
oh THAT early?? oof i didn't see on twt.. hurray!!
as much is this is a SFW VN, does it at least have dating in it?
We leave that to the players to decide if there is romance happening or not.
I played it and its really good! I hope there will be more soon and i can't wait...... (i want to be able to pursue a relationship with morris in the full game....i really like him)
yeah i also wanted to ask, in the next update will i have to start over or does just save my progress?
Usually it carries over but we will tell players when you have to restart. But restarting is easier here bcs it's just one linear route
LOVE LUCIAN SO MUCH AHhh
Aww.
This game is finish?
Still in development. Currently version 0.12 is coming.
It at least have nsfw? Like i hadn't read it yet
Sorry WTDL is a SFW game.
Lucian and Kobu looks perfect together, i can't get enough of them hhhhh. I hope i can see those two confessing to each other in future updates hehe.
Really awesome VN btw, love it.
Thanks Nick!
Iowa 100% ahead over heels for Fortis I'm going to be honest if I'm not able to get to a point where I have the main character begging to get smashed by Fortis I'm going to be a little bit sad.
Hmm, that's a first.
