How much is completed? 

THE BEAST is currently on hiatus. So far what's playable are Chapter 1 to Chapter 15. THE BEAST is a work in progress and I plan to deliver at the very least monthly updates to add the rest of the planned content into the game and weekly dev blog post as well so you can see what I've worked on that week.

How do I update my game after a new update releases?

This varies depending on what platform you're on. If on Android, simply download the new build and install it. It should automatically update the version of the game you have installed. If on Windows/MAC/Linux, simply delete the old "THE BEAST (Visual Novel)" game folder and download the new one. Your saves are stored in your local files, so they should be retained after the update.

So hi guys i need help im in the fight of the three ladies demon lords and I don't understand if its bugged or there is a trick to it cause they are immune to dmg can anyone help me ? Personally i don't like fighting in any vn im just here for the storyline 

(1 edit)

The flower shields them from all damage, taking it for them. Every time you "kill" it, they get stunned for one turn, then their leader, one that "sits" on the flower, revives it and cycle continues. When she is down, they cant use any moves til the end of the battle

(+1)

Ty kind sir

Youre welcome, have fun x3

(+1)

Damn, these were quite intense few days!

First of all, i honestly wanted to say that i delayed reading of this story cos of the artstyle, YET here i am, with jumping heart and stupid smile. I really am amazed by your choise of way to create sprites and cgs. There arent ANY fvns that do the same, and its truly unique, something i managed to understand and love. What bothered me at the start, i didnt mind at all when got used to (very fast too)


















Then i wanna praise the amount of balls you have. Killing children on screen - that requitres guts, even in horror games, even in not so big projects. Both times were really impressive and even though i play and watch horrors quite a lot, they gave me shivers

I love the story, i love the way you develop characters and even though i didnt see enough romanse, scenes i saw were really cute x3

I only hope this hiatus will end in forseeble future, cos it was a really good expreience for me, and i definetely want more

(also, presonal complaint: not enough save slots imo. I like to save in different places to re-read some pieces of dialogues, but with what i was given i had to be really careful with where i saved. And still in the end i got six slots left)

(+1)

At least this wasn’t forgotten.

(+1)

An update? woah...are you going to continue now? o.o!!!

(+2)

Oh, no no no! I was fixing some of the minor issues that I haven't been fixed yet. I'm still working on Spirit :p

(+2)

I will come back to THE BEAST eventually. Although when that happens it would be a huge overhaul of the entire game :'(

oh oki oki uvu

(+2)

Im really waiting for a update for this vn, i really like it T.T

(+1)(-6)

Edgy and tone-deaf, that's all I can really say.

One scene we see how a woman and her daughter get brutally murdered by monsters, and then next we see two furries heartly hug just right after they defeat said monsters. In the same place those two were murdered right before that. A+ writing.

I guess it also has a pretty good pencil artstyle and some sort of jrpg-esque combat system, but after such a horrible first impression I find it to be a really hard time to care about any of those things.

Sorry Ghost-Specie, but maybe next time.

Thank you for your feedback on THE BEAST. Hopefully you can give Spirit: Summoners of Áine-Chlair a try. 

(+2)(-1)

I will check it out, thanks. Also thanks for taking my feedback into account, even if it was harsh

"I didn't care about the art because they bla bla bla" what a nice way to motivate people 😂 what a joke

Ever tried saying something positive for once? From what I saw from your profile, you just keep yapping. I only looked at a few posts because I don't want any more exposure to negativity. :)

(+1)

I like this game and spent the whole afternoon playing it. I have a suggestion, can you add a skip option during battles? I often "Game Over".It is a little hard.

(+1)

I love this vn. I have been folowing you for two years now. Thats when i started playing these. you were the first one. i do wonder when you are going to start back on this one though. you are an amazing creator. I also love your other vn as well. Both pf your vn's are put together really well. can't wait to see more.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

How do I beat the three mushroom ladys? They always resurect the plant thing right after I incapasitate it

(1 edit) (+1)

You need to knock out the plant and then in the same turn attack Prima since she's the reviver; ideally you want your first attack to kill the plant so the other 2 party members can attack her.


The plant's spore attacks are powerful but take two turns to use and are a lot less dangerous if Jacob uses drill guard so keep in mind when the plant will attack.

New problem: I can't beat them as Ryu. They deal either too much or too little damage to be able to use brutal strength, and his attacks don't heal him enough to survive the spore detination.

just try and try with different kind of attack, for me i use the weakest attack until i get the brutal attack, if it didn't work, just do it and try again if failed

(+1)

Is there somewhere you can go to see what all the characters' skills and passive skills do? It'd be nice to have somewhere to be reminded, like in the extras menu.

(1 edit) (+1)

This game is amazing, the only thing that disappointed me a little is that Ryu is straight... and taken, that's not to say I don't like Eve, she's actually one of my favorite characters.

(1 edit) (+1)

i waiting for update rn the story is very great!!!I INLOVE with this novel~

ITS SO GREAT!can't wait till update so i gonna try to play yours 2nd project ^^!!!

(+3)

Honestly the most interesting vn i've ever played! Haven't gotten very far, but i really enjoy it! 

One question. Are still going to develop this game?

(1 edit) (+1)

The DBD part in the story had me rolling LOL because it's so accurate 

XD

Is this game still being worked on?

(+2)

THE BEAST is currently on hiatus, I'm now working on my second project.

(+2)

i love the game but it make me a little sad that we are left on a cliffhanger

(+1)

hey me and my friend are arguing over if jacob is a cat or not is he?

(+1)

He's a shiba-inu

Amazing!I do like this game which both the story and the game mode suits me!Hope Blu and Ryu be couple and beat the demon lord.Support you dude!

(-:

Loved it.!

(+3)

Please finish it!

(+2)

One of the most amazing vn's I seen in this entire platform, hope you can finish this someday cuz the story is a bop! 

(1 edit) (+1)

How do you kill Virdis if you dont mind me asking its geting hard to do it im able to kill 2 of 3 bosses then die anyone know how to get pass this 

(+2)

This visual novel is great and interesting thanks a lot to the author <3

(1 edit) (+3)

Me and my friends have started playing this game and it definitely isn't the best, But the characters are funny.

so I decided to make some fanart!


(jacob is our favorite)

(+2)

Ooooh, I love it~

I'm having trouble in Ryu's fight against the banana bitches, can anyone help me?

Aim for Prima

I'm trying, that was the first strategy I even used, I just can't seem to beat them.

(-1)

Here's a tip~~~~~~~~~~~
































Attack her with the normal "Attack" at your first turn, then use a Skill to heal yourself at your second turn so that you can survive Flaven's spore detonation, then take her down with "Brutal Strength".

Thanks! I'll try this strategy out

By the way, I appreciate how you drew the characters by hand!

(-1)

Is there any nsfw?

(1 edit) (+3)

if for nsfw you're talking strictly about sex then no, there isn't, still an amazing VN nonetheless 

(-28)

So it's not worth wasting time on, got it!

(3 edits) (+17)(-1)

That's the worst kind of take. What the actual hell.

"When it doesn't have d*cks then it's a waste of time, and better be a rude asswipe about it in front of the creator in their comment section!"

Yeah, I bet Adastra would've been such a waste of time if it didn't have d*cks to remind you to hold some emotional attachment to the characters. Noooothing else to hold onto. Mhm. Yup.

This is why furry games and this community will never be taken seriously at large. If you wanna look for porn, fine, go for it, but there was zero reason for this appalling comment. SFW artists already have it rough enough in this extremely sexual community, they don't need you to pelt rocks at them because they aren't interested in giving you a boner.

Also, there you go, you've been immortalised on FVN Reddit. Congratulations.

Wow : FurryVisualNovels (reddit.com)

(2 edits) (-17)

I couldn't care less about the story, I'm here for the porn, not for the cringe side story that was written around it. The fact that you actually wasted your time posting this on Reddit, well, what can I say.... good for you I guess, but I honestly don't mind, thank you I guess

No need to be so sensitive about things, I didn't tell anyone to kill themselves, did I? I hope you are posting this on reddit as well. Can't wait for it!

(+16)

If you couldn't care less about the story, then you shouldn't be wasting your time being an asshole in my comment section in the first place.

(1 edit) (+15)

If you don't like my project, so be it! But that doesn't mean I will sit here and tolerate your BS!

(+2)

The reason why I even found your comment was through that post. I'm just someone who wasted my time spelling out the obvious and what most people echoed on the thread. 

You're just digging further by doubling down, and it got so ridiculous it went from being depressing to hilarious, so... Since you don't care about being the entire circus, I'll just leave you be with a shrug and appreciate the rest of the spectacle from afar.

(-3)

Wow! Another person that isn't just here for the NSFW stuff!

(1 edit) (+2)

by any chance is English not your native tongue?

"you've been bedridden until 5 years ago..."
'been' implies referring to the past but 'until' implies referring to the future and then 'ago' implies referring to the past again.

perhaps you mean?
"you've been bedridden for 5 years..."

later i'll compile a complete list of potential fixes but for now i just want to enjoy the story :).

maybe it meant they've been bedridden and woke up 5 years ago?

When will be the next update???

(+4)

I'm working on a new project, so THE BEAST is currently on hiatus until further notice.

(+1)

Nice, i though you have stopped working on this incredible game, good luck on your next project!

(+1)

hi! i love your game so much! only issue is i suck at the battle scenes, but that only makes me more determined to win. right now im stuck at viola's battle, but i'll get past it eventually! thanks again for such an awesome game!

Which one of Viola's battles

(+4)

i hope its going to be updated soon >.< i really like it.

yeah

(+5)

This game is so good .I like it a lot but the fight made me to waste 1 hour to defeat the monster. So i saw that a lot of people say that waste a lot of time , i will teach how to fight againt the flower monster. First three time , use the basic attack , then when turn to Jacod use the second skill , the armor will break after it . Then attack the woman that is fat first because her skill is recorved the flower. Then, just repeat it . My suggestion is use the skill for Jacod and the guy that has wear cap . The damage of captain basic attack is higher. This is all my suggestion . Hope this will help all of you save time and can enjoy the story.

(1 edit)

if you mean the woman who resurrects the flower, then its prima, the old one, not fatty. But this helped a lot!

(1 edit) (+1)

Oh..ok , thanks for saying my problem.Cause i forget what is her name already.

You just focus on prima, it will probably help you

(2 edits)

I know you wont get to me soon but please when you are available can you tell me if i am up to date. I ended at Ryu shooting jack/virdis and then the dragon guy blocked it and it ended there.(Just edited here) How do i update it(Edited it again lol)will there be NSFW

(1 edit)

how hard to defeat flower girls

i'm form brazil

Hard af

Can you skip the battle the second time you play? When I want to see the previous story, it will waste a lot of time.

(+3)

Is there nsfw scenes?

(+3)

No NSFW.......yet~ :3

(+5)

Lol I'll keep that in mind

Lovel dovel..?

O.o ???

(2 edits) (+2)

OHHH MYYYY FUCKING GOOOOD, this is best VN i ever readed!

It's my second favourite VN with a PASSWORD, and Identity.


Sadly, everything gone when they both was thinking about lewd stuff when Blu sleeping in Eve's Car while Jack resurrecting all people from graves, i really want to see how this story will ends!

when next chapter?

I hope soon!

(+1)

Soon~
