Hey I was wondering, every character has a picture like it was taken by the main character with his camera except for Devon and Mikko so I was thinking, will you guys actually make Devon and Mikko's pic too?
Current sprites are beta, hq is currently experimenting with styles and we want to make them fluffier. We might keep some of them and change the rest, though, we're not sure yet.
No, only new content was added. For now we are focusing on letting the players get to know the whole cast, so we're writing short scenes, only at the end of Day 1 there will be a split into proper routes.
I love the game so much i know It's new but man i just can't wait to play more Coach Devon and Rune seem to be the one's I like the most so far. They seem to care about the MC even though they just mat. The story so far is 100% top tier and I just can't wait to see the game get bigger and better. Keep up the awesome work and always be you when making such a awesome game and in life to.
All right... I admit, I thought this visual novel would be uninteresting. I was so damn wrong <3
This is just a Demo, the beginning of the whole story, and I already want to know what will happen next. The art is excellent, a style I have never seen before, and I am ready to admit that it is very beautiful. Keep it up, guys. I'm sure you'll do it.
Sorry, if I've made some mistakes, English isn't my native language ;w;
We don't yet want to promise anything, as we might have to scale the project down in the future, which we of course don't want to do. For now there are plans for routes for Rune, Devon, Bjørn, Lake, Mikko, Tyra and Jørgen, but everything is subject to change, depending on the results of the survey and our funding .
The only complaint I have about the new build is that the game still describes Lake's eyes as green... Admittedly, I feel more bothered by that than I should, but am otherwise impressed with the game! Great work!
You're right, I don't know how did it slip unnoticed for so long! I've added it to the list of corrections for the next update, thank you for pointing that out :)
Yes, if you find any, please let me know. We do have a proofreader, but they haven't gone through all of the text, and even they might not notice some mistakes. We have created a survey for any providing feedback and pointing out mistakes, it can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/SE5DnRkcuvJoCR6b8
I would have mentioned it in my post about the previous build, but the grammar was a bit confusing and I thought it might be referring to Rune, so I didn't say anything ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯
I like to leave detailed comments when new builds are released for a game, so I'll be sure to mention any glaring or especially confusing grammatical errors, typos, etc that manage to slip through from update to update. Always happy to lend a helping hand!
Finally we can see what Arvo is like, he is super cute and very handsome, I really liked his design, I fell in love with him. Devon is very cute too, the art on this Vn is just phenomenal and the music is excellent. I like how the story unfolds and I look forward to what awaits us in future updates. Many congratulations for the excellent work on this Vn. *hugs and licks* =^.^=
Routes will start later, most of the first day will be dedicated to getting to know the characters, so not necessarily ^^ Choices made now will affect future events, though.
Ooh okay, so I guess it's like if I wanna play Lake's route and have the best events I should start from the begging and pick every option that involves Lake, I really love that :3
Great update by the way ;3 I'm enjoying the visual novel a lot ^ω^
I must say, this game was certainly an unexpected find, but I'm very glad that I found it! I can see quite a bit of potential here and I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes.
So far this game seems pretty well written aside from the occasional typo or grammatical error. Also, the characters all come across as interesting, like there's more to see from them than just what's on the surface. It'll be nice to see these characters interact with each other and how their personalities will mesh together.
There might not be much here yet, but this game has definitely caught my attention and I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it from here on!
We want to fill the visual novel with special moments of various kinds, and yes, we want to commission CGs for the game, currently we're in the process of negotiations with an interested artist.
What can I even say... 10/10. First of all - hats off to the creators!! Gawd, this visual novel is amazing! At first I was skeptical, but - it does such a fantastic job at setting the mood. While reading, I felt as if I was right there in the moment - going camping with a bunch of strangers, eager to explore and make connections.
And don't even get me started with Rune- what a dream boat!! Ever since what happened at the beginning of the novel, I couldn't keep my thoughts away from them. It's remarkable, really - I've only locked eyes with him once and he's already on my Furry-Hunk Watch List. Incredible. Also the music... gorgeous. The strings and the piano don't just compliment each other - they're on an entirely different level of soothing.
Keep up the amazing work - this is now, after a single play, the visual novel I'm most looking forward to regarding future updates. Please, for the love of all that is holy, make Rune date-able. Or, something like that. <3 <3 <3
Thank you for all the kind words, reading comments like this is really a reward in itself. We're currently working hard on the upcoming update, and if you like Rune, then you're going to enjoy it :)
Personally, I thought the reason he tought so much about these specific characters (Lake/Rune/Mikko) was because they're the only ones he actually talks to/knows/considers friends as opposed to the rest of the characters. Also, Lake/Mikko were the last people he talked to before he started thinking about them.
This game is great! If you're looking for a nice and chill Furry VN This is it. I Absolutely love the art style and the story! The characters are so freakin' cute! I personally can't wait for this masterpiece to come out, and when it does what's the price gonna be? Sorry if this is a repeat question.
We're glad that you've enjoyed playing the first demo :) The visual novel is currently in development and will receive monthly updates, first for patrons, two weeks later uploaded for public here on itch.io. We don't yet know how much or fi at all we are going to charge anything for the finished visual novel, because that's still far in the future.
Could you please tag the PC version as both Windows and Linux compatible? It works just fine on Linux, and if you change that it can be installed on Linux via the Itch launcher.
I really love how the main character has his his artistic thoughts about many characters, like I do in real life. Some of the sensual thoughts also seem realistic and not out of place. I hope it won't force players to stay laser focused on one character while abandoning others.
Also please, please don't make this story into something grim and sad like Echo and Adastra, this starts out as such a lovely story!
Do you remember? You wrote: "Will there be an android version (for Worst Dating Sim)?" Well, I found an android port. But in order to get the link you have to create an account on that website and pay 5 bucks for specific currency. Though it's not all bad, because you can buy other android ports on this website too or download apps freely. I found a Winds of Change android port aswell! It's another gay VN that does not have an android version.
Hahaha, that was exactly what was going through my head when I was introduced to the characters. Thanks for asking. ;)
Pale, how are you always this early to a new VN? Do you somehow get notifications or just browse? However this time, I think I was first, because nothing was written, yet.
I saw one of the people I'm following rated this VN, and decided to check it out. I don't usually browse because it frustrates me, I usually don't find what I like when I search in Itch...

Hey I was wondering, every character has a picture like it was taken by the main character with his camera except for Devon and Mikko so I was thinking, will you guys actually make Devon and Mikko's pic too?
Mikko's picture exists, but somehow we didn't upload it anywhere, I'm not sure why myself. I might inquire hq about a one for Devon, though!
Oh I had no idea that Mikko's picture exists hahaha. I'm looking forward to see Devon and Mikko's picture ^^
Also out of curiosity, do you guys plan to add expressions for the boys?
Yes, absolutely! It's possible that they will be redrawn first, but again, I have to wait for hq with that and they're a bit busy with work lately.
Redraw them? Is there something you want to change on them? Or it's more like the current sprites are beta sprites so to speak
Current sprites are beta, hq is currently experimenting with styles and we want to make them fluffier. We might keep some of them and change the rest, though, we're not sure yet.
Lake is so cute
Great to see more stuff with Lake! Shame that we're probably not going to able to share his room though...
Don't let your hopes down yet :)
What routes have been updated? Rune and Devon?
This time all of them! :)
The update on Devon and Rune's routes felt very short... Did you do changes from the beginning too? Do I have to re-start again?
No, only new content was added. For now we are focusing on letting the players get to know the whole cast, so we're writing short scenes, only at the end of Day 1 there will be a split into proper routes.
Oh, okay. Good to know. Can't wait for more! :)
I feel like the sprites should be changed to the cg art for consistency cg art looks overall better than the sprites do
The sprites will be redrawn at some point, but likely again by our sprite artist, hq.
I prefer the sprite art style :) enjoying the more cutesy art style
hey wondering how long the waiting period is going to be for updates
Hi! The next update will be released for patrons this weekend, then publicly on itch.io two weeks later. Updates are released monthly.
I love the game so much i know It's new but man i just can't wait to play more Coach Devon and Rune seem to be the one's I like the most so far. They seem to care about the MC even though they just mat. The story so far is 100% top tier and I just can't wait to see the game get bigger and better. Keep up the awesome work and always be you when making such a awesome game and in life to.
Is there a image of Rune because there is an image at the top that says "that should do it...……….." is that going to be in or is it already in.
It is in the visual novel already! You need to talk with Rune during lunch, and then let him help you later.
I just got up to it lol I feel like an idiot now.
All right... I admit, I thought this visual novel would be uninteresting. I was so damn wrong <3
This is just a Demo, the beginning of the whole story, and I already want to know what will happen next. The art is excellent, a style I have never seen before, and I am ready to admit that it is very beautiful. Keep it up, guys. I'm sure you'll do it.
Sorry, if I've made some mistakes, English isn't my native language ;w;
P.S. Rune's verrrry handsome, mlem~
Which characters are going to have a route?
We don't yet want to promise anything, as we might have to scale the project down in the future, which we of course don't want to do. For now there are plans for routes for Rune, Devon, Bjørn, Lake, Mikko, Tyra and Jørgen, but everything is subject to change, depending on the results of the survey and our funding .
Are Klaus and Travis not options currently?
I was about to ask if the teacher would have a route but now I know that there is a plan for him which makes me happy.
Do you have/are you planning to have a Patreon?
Yes ^^ link is here: https://www.patreon.com/DawnChorusVN
The only complaint I have about the new build is that the game still describes Lake's eyes as green... Admittedly, I feel more bothered by that than I should, but am otherwise impressed with the game! Great work!
You're right, I don't know how did it slip unnoticed for so long! I've added it to the list of corrections for the next update, thank you for pointing that out :)
so you want us to let you know if we find typos and errors? I found a few but I wasn't sure if I should point them out or not
Yes, if you find any, please let me know. We do have a proofreader, but they haven't gone through all of the text, and even they might not notice some mistakes.
We have created a survey for any providing feedback and pointing out mistakes, it can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/SE5DnRkcuvJoCR6b8
You're very welcome! I'm happy to be of help!

Don't worry about Rune, there is still time for that, but first he needs to get to know the main character better :)
yeah im just so excited about this game xD, and also do you have any upload schedule or are the updates random ?
Right now updates are uploaded first for Patreon patrons on every second weekend of the month, and two weeks after that for the public.
Who is the artist who made the scene with Arvo and Rune when the jacket thing? His art style is so familiar, I've seen it before for sure
It's Tintiai, he will also be drawing the next CGs for Dawn Chorus.
https://twitter.com/tintiai
I think he should be the one doing the regular sprites too. His style is amazing.
Very nice update! I'm torn between Rune and Lake, they're both so sweet!
Possible spoiler
When you pick to go ask Devon about the key, is that a way to start Devon's route?
Routes will start later, most of the first day will be dedicated to getting to know the characters, so not necessarily ^^ Choices made now will affect future events, though.
Ooh okay, so I guess it's like if I wanna play Lake's route and have the best events I should start from the begging and pick every option that involves Lake, I really love that :3
Great update by the way ;3 I'm enjoying the visual novel a lot ^ω^
Does Coach Devon has any update in the new update? And if not, when will he be unlocked to be romanced?
Yes! There is new Coach Devon content in this update.
Wonderful! How can I access it?
When looking for the key you have to choose an option to go ask Coach Devon for help
Oh, okay. Thank you! :)
By the way, what species is Coach Devon?
He's a melanistic jaguar, known widely as black panther :)
I must say, this game was certainly an unexpected find, but I'm very glad that I found it! I can see quite a bit of potential here and I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes.

There might not be much here yet, but this game has definitely caught my attention and I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it from here on!
Will there be scenes at the "special" moments too?
We want to fill the visual novel with special moments of various kinds, and yes, we want to commission CGs for the game, currently we're in the process of negotiations with an interested artist.
Will Jørgen have a route too?
There are plans for a one, don't worry :)
What can I even say... 10/10.

It's a very cute visual novel. :3 I like the idea of seeing Norwegian culture of day-to-day life like how they eat lunches for example. Keep it up!
i love this game and this is random but Finland mentioned XD
Could you please tag the PC version as both Windows and Linux compatible? It works just fine on Linux, and if you change that it can be installed on Linux via the Itch launcher.
Sure, thank you for the tip :)
The more I play it, the more I like Lake :3 oh my God! he is so precious!
I really love how the main character has his his artistic thoughts about many characters, like I do in real life. Some of the sensual thoughts also seem realistic and not out of place. I hope it won't force players to stay laser focused on one character while abandoning others.
Also please, please don't make this story into something grim and sad like Echo and Adastra, this starts out as such a lovely story!
Adastra wasn't entirely sad, it had a great ending. Besides, Echo was meant to be more of a psychological horror novel.
Is this nsfw?
Some adult content might be added later on, but all nsfw scenes can be turned off at the beginning of the game.
Lake has stolen my heart, what an absolutely adorable guy. Really liking the VN so far. Looking forward to it's updates!
Cute
Please tell me Mikko will have a route too
We have plans for a one!
I just started this visual novel and I'm already so in love with it ❤️

https://forum.sbenny.com/threads/worst-dating-sim-android-port.29142/#post-57195...
Please give me the link to that website... whatever.
Ooh, a new one (°<°)
Jørgen has a really cool design!! You don't see many bats in these games. I like the characters a lot already, a very cute art style.
It just the first demo and I already in love with this game c':
I always love Visual novel that setup in Snow town-forest and give a warm feeling. You guys did a great job!
Is Coach Devon a romanceable character?
There will be a route dedicated to him! He will be featured more extensively in the August update :)
Can't wait! :)
Hahaha, that was exactly what was going through my head when I was introduced to the characters. Thanks for asking. ;)
Pale, how are you always this early to a new VN? Do you somehow get notifications or just browse? However this time, I think I was first, because nothing was written, yet.

Oh, okay that's how you found out about it. True, itch's search system isn't fully convincing.
It's really bad, and I'm being generous about it.
The art style is adorable - v-
