I am running into a consistent crash during the transition from the snowball fight with Lake, Jorgen, and Mikko to night for the telescope and route select scene. It happens between the last few lines of text in the previous up to final part of the transition showing the outside of the guesthouse at night.

I am trying to replay Rune's route as my most recent saves are broken and there isn't an option to skip to his route on the menu.

ETA - I have uninstalled the game fully and reinstalled it using the itch launcher if that plays into the issue at all.

The rune update is perfect, leaving it at that was absolutely a perfect move, leaving us wanting to see them blossom but not leaving us heart broken

10/10

There's 2 more days for every route planned

what the hell? how is the new update like. so good?? I can definitely see how it's your most ambitious work- the music and visuals are perfect and work together so well, and the writing is genuinely amazing. Gave me chills.  It deviates from the main style of the VN in a really effective way that both suits what's happening really well and is also just awesome to read. And even before and after that section, it's just so sweet. Rune's new update is probably my favourite section of the game, which is saying something because this game has a lot of beautiful moments. 

Thank you to the whole team for making something really lovely. I highly recommend Dawn Chorus to anyone who's interested, though prepare to get very emotionally invested if you're anything like me.

I was download this VN on 04/04/2022, at that moment I didn't expect i was going into deep stuff, I really enjoy and like the characters I read for now (Mikko, Rune, Lake; Jorgen you're the next). And I feel very greatfull to the Dawn Chorus Team and all people who work in this project, because, they give us a really good history with relateable  things for everyone that is the best part of this VN. I feel in another world when i'm reading this history; Also, the music and the art, are incredible, is something i enjoyed to much to watch too.

The other cool thing of this VN is his characters and his personalities, you guys, create characters who demonstrate real feelings, is not like other VNs where you need to be nice with the character for getting the good end/route.


PS: Daily reminder You're amazing & Loved!

Definitely one of the best VNs that I've ever read for a while! Can't wait for the next Lake update ^^

I love it, thank you for making the game :D

I feel like some of the new sprites teased are a bit,,, unrefined??
Like, Devon got a new baby face,,, Torluf's muscles are like,, a bit too different from what's shown in the previous sprites,,, the sprites are good, don't get me wrong, but,,, Maybe refine them a bit more so they better suit the characters,,

*In regards to the Sprites Sneak Peek*

IMHO, I am not a fan of the fan sprites for a few of the characters I want to say especially in Mikko's and Jørgen's case. Their previous sprite gave them a smaller frame and I feel like that aspect was lost in this sprite redo. It's not horribly different but it's a little weird to re-imagine, just my take though.

(+3)(-2)

Personally i like them because these characters feel more serious, before mikko looks like a little cute guy in the new sprite he has this serious vibe around him. I think they look more mature and i like that.

Cant wait for the next Rune updates.

Hope he's okay

edit: and because ive seen this told to other people no i have not used a pirated version of the game i am speaking purely from the look we got from the sneak peak sprites about 2 weeks ago.

(this is a comment i had posted on the recent update comments just thought i might as well also post it here)

I have been following the dawn chorus vn for a long time now I want to say so it is quite sad that i have to say im probably going to stop supporting it as much as i did. while i will still follow the games progress and will most likely check out every lake update i just cant connect to the new art style. while for some characters it does good such as torulf, klaus and travis it seems very not fitting on others. such as now mikko the character that him being a little smaller the everyone was a key point now is almost double his hight from what im seeing and has thicker build which just did not come off well on him, or devon who now seems to have a baby face when his supose to almost be 30 from what i remember, he dosent need to have an old man face but not a teenager face, rune who is a swimmer and athelete has a bodybuilders body (in my opinion mikkos new body shape would fit perfect for him) but the thing that really did hit me most was lake. i was so in love with how their character was and it touched me deeply the way their story went regarding their identity or the relationship with torulf and i think their for the lack of a better word "twink-ish" look fit because it made them look how they felt which is small compared to others but now they just feels alot bulkier then they should be.(again in my opinion klauses new look could look better) to conclude this is not an attack on keo or anyone who likes the changes, if you like the changes then all power to you i just cant connect. maybe im not the audience for this vn anymore because while i dont like saying it. it does feel like its going to the pretty upsetting fetish look with making basically everyone but maybe 2 characters either muscly or bulky. In my opinion a thing that could make everyone happy would be a toggle mechanic, i dont know coding personally so im not sure how this will work or if its possible even,again saying this is not an attack to anyone just me voicing my opinion on a visual novel i used to feel really connected to. sorry for any misspellings english is not my first language. thank you to whoever listend to my small rant.

I feel sad to agree. I personally really like hq's work but these new sprites feel really weird. maybe I've grown too attached to the old ones but idk. A few of the new CGs also don't feels quite right, the one that hq just posted on twitter, of Arvo looking in the mirror, specially. Something that had a lot of charm and really stood out from other VNs are the forward facing characters which I miss a lot on these new characters. I also agree that most of the cast is looking unusually bulky, despite how they are described in-game. Something I do like is Lake's new flannel. I'm still unsure of what to do, I know I'll miss all of these a lot.

I'm not finished reading yet, but I will tell you that this is one of the best, BEST, stories/ VN's I've ever read. 

Made me feel things I didn't know I could feel, 10/10, read the goddamn thing. <3

This is by far one of the best games in all of my life. I honestly have never played such a well thought out and lovely game. I love the message of the routes and I ABOUSOLOUTLY love the characters. Great job to all who made this, YOUR THE BEST. 

i thought i was ready, i wasnt, im sobbing rn 10/10 would reccomend

AAAAAAA 

ARVO LOOKS SO CUTE!!!

I LOVE IT!!!! ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

I do have a question though, 

When would the new sprites be added to the public version besides Patreon?

Just wondering:3

Beautiful update. I didn't expect runes... Realignment to come in that form, but I think it worked for him. Excited to see the rest of his story unfold. ☺️

update 0.35.4 for windows was blocked by my virus program. anyone else having trouble?

Did not have any trouble on my end. Running windows defender and malware bytes

Blaidd Llwyd's playthrough of the latest Bjørn update!

(Technical stuff)

I found the issue. Version 35.0 has a little weird look on the main menu, but has the new gallery image for 35.4's update and no Rune continuation. While on the other hand, its flip-flopped for Version 35.4 has the Rune continuation, but the menu is fine, and the new gallery image is not there

Uploaded a revised build - now the new artwork can be found in the gallery.

Hey... I don't know if this is just me, but it seems like I'm still missing the train tracks flash back memory from mikkos route. Is there any fix coming for that or am I just doing something wrong?

Just finished the update, maybe I need a restart too... well who knows, I loved it, was nice reading it and may need to reread it to process it correctly, wonder what's next tho! time to wait for another chapter of pain in day 4!

(+1)(-1)

Needed to post a comment runes new update was so beautiful! The writing is so good, the emotion and the way we can feel what there feeling. It was so powerful this is probs one of the best written visual novels I've read cant wait for more updates. ngl tho, I only read Rune's and Devon's oops- no one else really interests me, but after reading that i might have to! Was so good would really recommend this visual novel!

(+1)

I can't find the new illustrations in the gallery tab

(+2)(-2)

I am not getting the Rune continuation into the rest of Day 3. Maybe its something on my end, kinda doubt it, but its giving me the end credits as the stopping point instead of continuing on. 

Also, fuck whatever the guy below said, he has opinions sure, but that was uncalled for. Make the game how you see fit and we'll be happy as long as you don't abandon the VN.

Thanks Keo, Haku, and the rest of Dawn Chorus Team

It might be due to the version route you're on, I did another run of his route from scratch with different decisions and got it.

A letter to Keo

Dear Keo, grow up already and address the issue like an adult.

Enough lying that you listened and addressed the concerns, while making changes to something that was never at the forefront of the discussion.

Stop pretending this is about how thin the lines got or how shading changed.

Quit hiding from your own community and just talk to us.

Admit that there was a change to the visual direction of the game. You are not helping the issue when you say this is just an all around improvement and nothing has changed. We're neither blind nor stupid, so quit treating us as such.

Make a statement that the change to the visual direction is final. That's what your actions have been saying so far anyway, so make it official already - you won't listen to any calls to changing the style, it's time to quit giving people false hope you might listen if they politely call to your reason long enough.

And finally, apologize to everyone unhappy with the changes in VN's visual direction. We've been supporting you for quite a while, you owe us that much. Your silence has been disheartening and just plain rude.

========================

A letter to everyone unhappy as I am

I'd like to thank all of you for being a pain in Keo's ass together with me. 

Thank you for not letting them pretend like they have an overwhelming support of the community on the unnecessarily drastic and sudden changes to the visual direction of the game.

Keo has been acting in bad faith, attempting to swipe the issue under the rug and you did not let them. I'm proud of you all. Game developers must be always called out on their bad actions and that's exactly what you've done.

Maybe I've lost faith, or maybe I am finally seeing the situation clearly, either way I've grown completely disenchanted with the project. Those who remain and want to keep up the fight - give them hell! I am with you in spirit, if not in presence.

========================

A letter to everyone supporting the changes

You have been incredibly tone-deaf to the situation, self-indulgently praising a change towards a visual style more appealing to your fetishes, CELEBRATING other fans getting backstabbed and robbed of something they loved by the very developer they have shown nothing but kindness and veneration for years and years before you even came around.

I genuinely wish you to end up in our place at some point in your life. Might even happen with Dawn Chorus - that would be ironic.

========================

Thank you everyone for lending me your attention. I'll see you around in discussions of games not made by people acting like children. 

Play only good games. 

Peace!

Mate, take a deep breath - things are going to be ok. It's totally fine to not like a change in art style, and you are perfectly entitled to express that opinion and to no longer want to play the game.

But calling an update to the visual style of a game a "backstabbing" and celebrating "being a pain in [the developer's] ass" is taking things too far. Contrary to what you claim in your post, you are the one who needs to address the issue like an adult.

You are not the only person in existence to disagree with a change in direction for the development of a game. That happens all the time, and it's never as personal as you are taking it. Ultimately, the game belongs to the developer, and they are going to execute their vision for the game to the best of their abilities - you aren't entitled to keep things a  certain way just because you previously supported the project.

Of course it's unfortunate when this happens - it's never fun to see changes to a project that you don't agree with - but this level of outrage is unwarranted and off-putting. You've obviously made your opinion known, so now just stop interacting with this project entirely. Stop harassing the developer and stop leaving rants on the comment pages. Try to forget about the project entirely - I promise you'll be less stressed if you do.

To Keo, I'm honestly pretty ambivalent about the sprite updates, but I do hope that you don't let people like the one I'm responding to get to you.

(+12)(-1)

It is a bit disheartening to read, even if I get the disappointment. Still - sourcing information from pirate websites and then inferring things and then coming here to demand answers feels disrespectful to us as developers and we don't feel inclined to answer.

We're a team and Haku is working on the reworks and setting the direction for it. I support them in this because we're all working hard to make this VN the best we can. The response to the reworks in total has been positive and we continue to work on them - some of the details I've shared in the latest devlog, and I'll get back with more news once we have any we're ready to share with the public.

Thank you ^^

(+5)(-2)

I'm glad to hear that the dev team is continuing to work hard on the VN. It has some of the best writing and art of any VN I've read, and it'd be a shame to give up on it because some jerks won't stop harassing you all. Wishing the team the best!

(+14)(-2)

What the fuck dude, at least be respectful with Keo and the team. Just breathe and calm down. If You don't like the changes just don't play this VN anymore but don't be this rude with the devs.

Fuck you

What is going to have the 19.2 upate???

Soon the update will be released and then my heart will break again. Thank you for developing this game

Let's hurt together

All of us can hurt together

It's HURT CHORUS

You see, now I'm a mess. It's going to take a while for me to get back to normal, waiting day after day for an update that might make me feel something

😭😭😭 for me it ends when  mikko asked if I loved him bruh help  this what happens when I get the update  I have enough storage 

(+7)

I do not know what to say.  This VN makes me have feelings.  Feelings that for some reason I just don't feel in real life.  I love VNs like this.  This one in particular caught me off guard.  This escape from reality took me back to it, in a painful and bittersweet way.  But that's how I want to feel.  I want to feel something.  Thank you so much for this.

I'm really hoping to get more for the Devon's route soon!

Just wondering is there any chance day 4 for lake is coming out any time soon ?

Lake's day 3 isn't finished yet!

a litle heads up, we will get 5 days for every route, and they can end early if you chose the right options. updates come every month or two too ^w^

I don't know why, but there is a perfect song for the Mikko route that I just remembered.
Young - Vacations

hey dawn chorus, may i know the name of the guesthouse that they are visiting, or is it a fake location that you made up ^w^? (it seems so nice there =w=)

I think Bjorn's route says it's called Birdsong

Thank you, i will try to find it, oh yeah may I know when he says that or what day it is? ^w^

oof, I can't remember, but I do remember he says it while the group is outside, it's the same background as the Lake snowball fight

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

Wait are all the paths 3 days max? Im sorry if I keep asking questions this is my first time reading a furry Vn and I can say this one will always be my FAVORITEEEE🙏🏻

(+2)

I think the devs said once that all routes are gonna get 5 days. depending on your choices tho some routes can reach an end. like with SPOILERS and SPOILERS(twice!)

thank god i hope they do make all the routes 5 days🙏🏻😭

The shortest route is 2 days and you end it alone

nah, the shortest route is 1 day and you fucking die! still a good route tho, more people should read it. SPOILERS! 






start the Mikko route but when you find your key choose to just stay in your room instead. Mikko will try to change your mind but if you stick to your guns that'll set you in the "right" path

(+1)

Will there be more of Rune😓? I feel like the ending was such a cliffhanger hes my favorite character so I wish there was more to the story other than it ending on him being mad he wasn’t accepted :((

I know! I need to know what happens!

The update for him is already out on Patreon and will be released here on 19.02!

Just out of curiosity when will 19.02 be out.? 

(+2)(-1)

19.02 is 19th of February, not the build version 😭

OHHHH LOLL MB

Hey big question when you pick a story line and play does the game just stop when im done playing whats available for them or does it just keep going without said character if it helps im asking specifically for the ending with rune cause last i checked day 3 is not done right?

The game splits off into different routes at the end of day one depending on who you stay with, and yeah, each route does stop once you finish the most recent update of it.

thanks a bunch

Holy shit this game is a masterpiece. I have came across this game in boredom and thought to my self, "it looks pretty good, lets see how it is." Best decision of my entire life.  First, the main menu music and background looks and sounds AMAZING. At that moment, I felt as if I was already in love with the game. I click start and the intro is... strange... but it still looks cool. I get my key and play the game for a bit. Good story I have to admit.  I get to the part where I choose who I want to sleep with and I pick Mikko. Worst and best decision of my life. I say bad because the end of day 3 broke me... I had tears running down my cheeks.  I thought that games would always have a good part of the game but when they don't... it hurts. I also say good because well... it made me think more about my life and others around me (I have no idea why).  This game really changed me good and bad but I digress.  This game is great so if your seeing this and have never played it, please do. (BTW: I really want to see a Mikko update soon, Thank you!)

Honestly I just played this game hoping for some NSFW scenes and then leave. But I just finished what's available for Jorgun's route and I'm not even disappointed at the lack of nudity, I've been utterly enthralled by these characters and their lives.

I would just like to tell the team they've done an amazing job making this game and I'm excided for more.

(p.s any idea when Jorgun's story will continue?)

(+1)

Very soon! We're working on it this month.
