Well... he is a black panther, and he is just before his 30th birthday in game. He clarifies that in the current Patreon update, given his background the new sprite fits him better. The response to it is quite divided, with both very positive and negative voices, so we might go back and work on it some more to address the criticisms.
If he's a panther why does he have markings? Panthers don't have those only jaguars and leopards have markings panthers are plain black, which is why im confused about it.
Black panther is a name for a melanistic variant of both jaguars and leopards, and they also have spots, but on most of their bodies the fur is too dark to see them. Devon has a fairer fur than most black panthers for a reason that we will reveal later in the vn :)
This could have happened if you loaded a save created exactly during the character choice screen, a quick solution to that would be to go a few steps back from the point of character selection and then proceeded. I will look into it and try to create a hotfix, sorry for this issue!
Never gave it much thought before since my favorites are Devon, Rune and Björn, but it's painfully obvious that Lake has a massive crush on the main character/protagonist... It's adorable! :)
Sadly i really don't like the new devon character i liked him bc he was kinda rugged if thats the right word now he just seems like another teenager not a teacher i would have understood if you would make him a bitt buffer (cuz a coach) but now he seems like a teenager. 4/10 for me. The new devons carachter. The old one in my opinion was way better like 9/10.
I really love your game! Ever since I saw the first image of it, my interest piqued and I really fall in love with this VN. Interesting story with character build-ups, and not just some cheesy romance tossed randomly, actually building their relationship. I cant wait for the next update! keep up the amazing work!
This has been such a wonderful game so far! I'm absolutely enthralled with pretty much half of the cast, it's a pretty impressive feat to have so many characters and having all of them be so likeable (unlike a certain unfished VN). The setting is absolutely stunning and the writing is superb all around, whether it be for the characters, setting, or plot. The first day has been stellar and so much fun to play through. I'm looking forwards to falling more in love with the rest of the cast as much as I have with Rune, Torulf, Lake, and Devon!
Nah, but if i know well, there will be, just this game is not even finished, just started. I hope it will be a great very long game. But still, nothing can be better than Shirokoi's Repeat. But don't have to be better. Dawn Chorus and Repeat is 2 different world, so i can love DC af. :D
So far we're on Day 1 with everyone and everyone's individual routes are just starting. Unless you mean how many days each route will be, in which case, idk? Standard for furry vns tend to be either pretty short (one day/a couple of days) to about a month? I'm feeling kind of lazy, but if you really want to, you could see if it mentions a length for how long the trip is going to be, otherwise I don't think we know yet.
I have never been more happy to witness Finland mentioned anywhere, but here. Goddamn i feel p r i d e. Alright, time to go back to reading, wonderful job with the game so far! :)
the author says this is a wholesome and light hearted game but i was trying to get the klaus route and let me tell you it scared the shit out of me in the begining
The Klaus thing you're probably talking about was supposed to be a Halloween kind of thing, I'm not sure if he's still getting a route, but I'm sure if he is getting one it'll be less scary, albeit probably still a little spooky/eccentric given his demeanor. No other scene in the game is like that, so far.
*Only unsure about Klaus, b/c waaaaay back in some of the original builds it seemed like Travis may have had a route if enough people liked him, but alas he did not, thus he won't be getting a route, and I don't think Klaus is that popular. There's still certainly a chance though and I could very well be wrong.
Well now they updated his route, and so actually his route will be a bonus one, kinda like Half-hidden, on twitter the devs said they're going to make reaching his route harder in the future
Bjørn deserves more love~ Amazing VN overall, a very relaxing atmosphere in the story and overall plot. I hope to see Bjørn's route get expanded upon in the future, I'm a sucker for big ol' bears lol <3
Download the newest version of Dawn Chorus then install/update the app using the apk (Don't delete the past Dawn Chorus app, installing the new build will update the past Dawn Chorus app) then you can load the save file and continue where you left of.
Also, when you update it, all of the progress will be saved (e.g. photos that you hve unlocked in the gallery, texts that you have read can be skipped when using the skip feature, etc.)
I can't believe Dawn Chorus is trending to the top of #furry in quite a quick succession. It makes me glad to witness the game grow in popularity and completion. Keep it up!
Not currently, they are in the plans, although the game is in default sfw and you need to click to see nsfw content in the beginning or change that in preferences during game
hi!! I just saw you mention smth about a poll and how jørgen isn't super popular and you don't know if he'll have a route but I am begging you, with all of my bat loving heart. pls.
I cant wait in the next update I really Want Devon please dont make it fast I want more exciting things between THE tiger and Devon Please....I really love this game
I would support this game, if I had the money because I had a great time playing this demo. The writing is great, realistic and maybe even nostalgic, and my mood was perfectly captured and moved through the scenery and the accompanying music. Basically, I have seen a lot of Ren'py games, but this one is a gem-in-the-making that I am willing to share to my other gay furries, too!
The only hook on my review however is that I find my immersion distorted whenever the art snapshots (or whatever they're called) didn't entirely reflect what the characters in-game sprites would look like - like, I would look at the photo, then I would be confused, asking "Who's that?" and not realize it's supposed to be this character or that.
[SPOILER]
In addition, I find it odd that me, a gay lion boy who could afford to go to a million-dollar camping trip that has a jacuzzi, indoor gym pool, etc., would be worried about budgeting when I lost the key. I think it would be a better fit, if I were more conscious about my items or me becoming more 'absent-minded', than I am with money.
[END SPOILER]
I'm keeping a close eye on the project's progress on your Twitter. Wishing nothing but the best and success for the whole development team! :3
(p.s. Rune best boi. His sprites in-game... awakens something in me that I never knew I had. LMFAO)
I adore this with every ounce of my BEING, I really can't praise the developers enough, the game runs effortlessly and there are plenty of contrasting routes that make me want to complete the game 1,000 times over!! I love it and it's characters, story and just everything so much, I couldn't even begin to put it into words!! Definitely worth a play and definitely something I have at the top of my list of recommendations for anyone that enjoys these types of games. I really can't thank you enough for your beautiful creation, Dev, and I look forward to the update as much as I possibly can! :)
I don't want to make things awkward by asking this question but after seeing Rune's latest update I simply have to know. Will there be any explicit/sex scenes between Rune and the MC?
Hey, I´ve been playing Dawn Chorus for a few days and I have some questions:
1. How many routes will have? Because is confusing guessing how many are due to the amount of choices.
2. Will you create some kind of guide? Again, too many choices and having doubts about what is the correct for each character.
I have to say that, even if I played a short amount of time, this VN gives me a sensation of peace and positive feelings. The characters are charismatic and I´m sure they´ll have and interesting background and personality! Keep going! <3
Hi! Thank you for playing, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game ^^
I'm trying to write it in such a way that the interactions feels natural, so I try not to have good/bad choices. There's a point system implemented and some of the choices will give you more points with certain characters, but generally the more you spend time with them, the more they like you. Because of that a guide would be hard to make, because there aren't good or bad choices, at least yet. Some time in the future I might make one that shows which choices give points, and how many points do you need to unlock scenes, but for now I have a bit too much on my hands. One thing I can tell you that in case of Rune you need to sit with him at lunch for him to let you stay with him overnight.
About the routes, we're planning to have routes for Rune, Lake, Mikko, Torulf, Devon, Bjorn, and we will have to see about Jorgen, because for now looking at the polls he isn't too popular.
Hi! I looked at the code in that scene and I don't see anything that could cause a crash, unless one of the audio tracks got downloaded incorrectly. If the problem persists I would suggest re-downloading/re-installing the game and starting with a new save, using the Skip functionality to quickly move forward to that scene. I'm not a Mac user myself, so I'm not sure how RenPy vns work on them :<

I like the new Devon sprite I just wish you kept the black stripe and grey side with black spots on his face (my opinion)
Now Devon seems like a teenager and not a teacher
he does look like hes 20 when he's supposed to be in his 30s, and more like a panther now or even a house cat.
Well... he is a black panther, and he is just before his 30th birthday in game. He clarifies that in the current Patreon update, given his background the new sprite fits him better.

I'm very excited to play through this new update! I wasn't sure of the possibility of Jørgen's route so I'm very happy to hear it!
Having a problem in Lake and Jørgen's route(In Android)
This could have happened if you loaded a save created exactly during the character choice screen, a quick solution to that would be to go a few steps back from the point of character selection and then proceeded. I will look into it and try to create a hotfix, sorry for this issue!

ok hear me out let's add dark magic, vampires and a girl named britney.
britney is a beaver furry and bullies our mc using spooky dark magic and might nor might not be secretly a vampire.
I think you are talking about Klaus right there.
Dawn Chorus: "Maybe someday, I have a bit too much on my paws lately."
Nobody: ...
Me: ...Rune is a deer.
Everybody: h
what was the update 3 days ago?
So far it is Patreon-only, but it was an update for Devon and Klaus routes.
When is it coming out for itch.io?
It will be a part of the monthly update scheduled for a Patreon release for around 26.02, and it will become public one month after that
Is there any nsfw scenes
There aren't any right now but there will be NSFW scenes in the future.
how du dein kow?
I really love your game! Ever since I saw the first image of it, my interest piqued and I really fall in love with this VN.

I'm looking forwards to falling more in love with the rest of the cast as much as I have with Rune, Torulf, Lake, and Devon!Is Jorgen the other tiger?
Jorgen is the bear, i think, it means bear in other language. :)
Thanks for the clarification, I love this VN but it can get a little confusing at times :)
I'm pretty sure that jorgen is the bat it makes sense that both his route and the lake route are updated since they are roommates
True, Bjorn is the bear and Jorgen is the bat, those finnish name are confuse me xd
Torulf is the other tiger I'm pretty sure
Is there any nsfw
Nah, but if i know well, there will be, just this game is not even finished, just started. I hope it will be a great very long game. But still, nothing can be better than Shirokoi's Repeat. But don't have to be better. Dawn Chorus and Repeat is 2 different world, so i can love DC af. :D
Glad to see a fellow fan of Repeat here
Repeat waked up a lot of feelings from me, and i hope i will never forget! :)
Well I've heard from its author that he's planning on updating it in the near future
Yeah, i rean on curious cat. :D 6 months on TB and 6 months on Repeat. :)
Repeat's amazing, but I'd say Tennis Ace by WOTB is better by a sizeable margin (highly recommend it if you haven't played it already)
Maybe i will try out, but actually im a fanatic of repeat, so nothing can be better for me xd
Trust me. Once you meet Shoichi, you'll understand why I am a massive Tennis Ace stan
I dunno, I played both and I still prefer Repeat.
Did it say how many days there are in game or not?
So far we're on Day 1 with everyone and everyone's individual routes are just starting. Unless you mean how many days each route will be, in which case, idk? Standard for furry vns tend to be either pretty short (one day/a couple of days) to about a month?

Before i play this game whos the MC the deer or the tiger???
The tiger ^^
Oh is there more than one route
Many. The chibi characters near the top of the page are the routes planned thus far.
Umm ok thanks dude
Only Rune's route finished on the first day sadly. :/ I like Rune, but i like the daddy panther and the another tiger really. :D
i got to the the guesthouse and the title when i started to cry from the beautiful music and scenery. i am very excited already to play you game.
the author says this is a wholesome and light hearted game but i was trying to get the klaus route and let me tell you it scared the shit out of me in the begining

I just want to know can i download the new builds with the progress of the old one?
Yep, you can.
how? Because I dont want to download the new and the all of my progress will disepird
Make a save file of where you stopped.
Download the newest version of Dawn Chorus then install/update the app using the apk (Don't delete the past Dawn Chorus app, installing the new build will update the past Dawn Chorus app) then you can load the save file and continue where you left of.
Also, when you update it, all of the progress will be saved (e.g. photos that you hve unlocked in the gallery, texts that you have read can be skipped when using the skip feature, etc.)
ok thanks
I can't believe Dawn Chorus is trending to the top of #furry in quite a quick succession. It makes me glad to witness the game grow in popularity and completion. Keep it up!
im a huge fan of Tor atm, and i absolutely cannot wait for the updates with more of him and Jørgon either, love those two as well as rune
First amazing game and i've just been curious is ther any sex parts or not?
Not currently, they are in the plans, although the game is in default sfw and you need to click to see nsfw content in the beginning or change that in preferences during game
I've only just started Dawn Chorus, but can I just say that music is amazing. It really sets the mood of the game
It took me an hour to figure out the protag is a tiger....
hi!! I just saw you mention smth about a poll and how jørgen isn't super popular and you don't know if he'll have a route but I am begging you, with all of my bat loving heart. pls.
You should like the upcoming update then, it has more Jørgen than the rest of the game combined ^^
!!! oh I'm excited. I love him
I'm almost 100% sure Mikko stole our key so that we could sleep with him, i tried some routes and all of them Mikko hugs us before we enter our room
Just think about the fact MC declined when Mikko asked his to take a double room because he was uncomfortable, this would give Mikko a motive
I cant wait in the next update I really Want Devon please dont make it fast I want more exciting things between THE tiger and Devon Please....I really love this game

The science camp is mostly funded by the university, that's the only reason most of the students were able to go ^^
Gotta love that European life
The game is amazing so far! I can't wait for the next update.
I adore this with every ounce of my BEING, I really can't praise the developers enough, the game runs effortlessly and there are plenty of contrasting routes that make me want to complete the game 1,000 times over!!

hey great game (I made an account just to comment)
will the final version have a pay wall?
if so, its still an AMAZING game, and i mean it!
keep up the good work!
Hi! We don't really know yet, that's a decision we still have to make so I'm not promising anything now.
I am not a fan of paywalls and personally I like the pay-what-you-want model the most.
ok thanks for letting me know
again, great game!
I don't want to make things awkward by asking this question but after seeing Rune's latest update I simply have to know. Will there be any explicit/sex scenes between Rune and the MC?
They will be in the game, but they will be optional.
Yeah, Rune... You goddamn right...

Oooooh, okay. Thanks for the info
I'm having crashing errors on Mac, it occurs right after we return the peroxide to Devon. Is anyone else having this issue?

I’ll give it a shot and see what happens, thank you!
what is the name of the song that the main character plays on the piano?
It's Gymnopedie no. 1 by Erik Satie!
thaaaank youu~~
at what time will the new update happen exactly
It was already released, the attached builds are already the new ones. You can find the changelog here: https://dawn-chorus.itch.io/dawn-chorus/devlog/211497/version-06-rune-update-pub...
