Just have to say that this is a great story!! Most games like this...well...you don't expect much, but when the new update dropped i was psyched just for the continuation of the story first and foremost!! Great job! Looking forward to more!
finished the latest update, and, well, GODDAMN! All of my previous laudation continues to apply. I get lost in the story, love and despise characters, and maintain a healthy bit of yearning.
When the protagonist gets with the romantic or close friend characters, I want you to take more time—slow role the camera view over the scene, across the bodies, and build up the romance. That’s all I could advise.
Don’t rush a damned thing! Keep up the great work, and we all will just be Patient.
I found it I just normally play on my laptop but download on my phone as im a trucker and have very limited Hotspot so tend to DL the pc version on my phone and transfer the folder over.
Can we get an alternative download site? I just paid 10 and I cant even try to download it without getting the megadrive app because I use firefox apparently
Who created the models/clothes or what program was used to create and pose them?
Side note: never, ever in a million years download jdownloader as it will not make you wait an unlawful amount of time to download mega links. It is an absolutely terrible application that shouldn't be installed under any circumstances.
So hilarious. A word of warning though, I was eating lunch and nearly choked when I recognised the number of the donation hotline for the animal shelter.
Thank you!!! I have been waiting for the next chapter. I think a few of us fans were worried. I am glad you are doing well and are continuing with your art.
Just an FYI, and I'm not really complaining so much as just giving you a heads-up, it's a little disheartening to pay $10 for a game then find out it's going to take 2 days to download because it's a >5GB file on MEGA. Would be very helpful if somewhere in your description you mentioned it's on MEGA and greater than the daily allowable limit for free users so we know not to get too excited about trying the game until the next day. lol Look forward to trying it tomorrow!
Well, it could also be posted on alternative websites to offer more choices.
PixelDrain has a free tier with 20GB file size limit, 20GB weekly download limit. But the download speed is great. UploadHaven seems good also, but I have not used it much. WeTransfer is nice but not adequate for long term storage. Iirc it delete the file after a week, but it as been a long time since I used it and could be different now.
There are more but on the top of my head those are the alternatives I remember.
It's fine. Like I said, it just meant I had to wait until the next day to start playing because I couldn't get it all in one download session. Looks really cool!
It's not my download speed. It's MEGA. They only allow 5gb download per day for free users. So when he uploads his game to MEGA, and it's greater than 5bg in size, then it takes free users more than one day to get it all. Understand now?
You got me hooked with chapter 1. I was wondering if the additional chapters have to be purchased individually or does Chapter 3 include Chapter 2? (And will chapter 4 include 2 & 3 when it comes out?)
Hey everyone, its' been super busy getting CH4 wrapped up. I'll be uploading the latest version this week as soon as wrap up the remaining bugs and spelling corrections reported.
Greetings, I just wanted to bring to your (DEV) attention that 0.1.2 version linux executables do not have execute permission and require a chmod +x. This might be a roadblock for some people not savvy about linux or permissions.
Hello snakecult, I think it is a solo project by digi_b.
I am guessing digi_b use windows with ntfs as the file system for the storage media.
In short, it can not be done.
I looked how to store linux (ext4) files properties on windows (ntfs) and as far as I know it can not be done. I tried transferring an executable .sh from linux to windows and back and the .sh was not executable anymore. It has something to do with ntfs not being POSIX compliant. I don't remember in details but in short, ntfs (windows) have no way to store linux file properties.
That being said, there are solutions around that. 1) Using a dedicated hdd/ssd with ext4 (or another compatible) file system can be used with WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2) or another program (for exemple Linux Reader) for compatibility. 2) Using a linux virtual machine, copy the files, change the file permissions, compress and then upload from the VM. 3) Maybe using a docker container (which require WSL 2) with a custom script to automate the properties changes, compression and upload.
Seeing the additional requirements I kind of feel bad asking digi_b for that. Maybe adding a link that explain how to make it executable by the user would be sufficient. I don't know.
P.S.: The comment is a bit long sorry, I did not know how much details to write.
edit: added "by the user" to make the sentence clearer.
Don’t rush it, but just so you know, many of us are seriously anticipating the next update…like ppl awaiting the next great series on Netflix. Just saying…
Wanted to say phenomenal work on the story, love the characters, tried out 0.1.2 and immediately grabbed 0.3.2, can't wait for more. (Also do you just overwrite and the saves remain compatible?)
Just finished chapter 3, and wowee... I am hyped for the next chapter. Blessed are we to have received such a high-quality experience. I love how realistic the characters feel, especially our MC. It's not always you get to have both in-depth love interests and a funny, likeable, chad MC. Phenomenal work digi_b. Thank you for your (and any other supporters') hard work!
Hi there and thanks. In the free version, there’s a save folder. You can move that from the free version to the /game/ directory. Alternatively you can also copy the contents from the update you downloaded and overwrite the free version.
Dude, I just finished chapter 1 and I am already hooked for life. When you feel down and demotivated from developing, please remember that you have a lifetime supporter here. This is really SOMETHING for years to come.
Not gonna lie, I am getting anxious waiting for the next update. Based on the development log, it will be here anytime soon - but here's hoping that something big will be here for Kinda!
When will the next update be , please ? I Absolutely love this particular story , especially how a certain someone got FUBARED ON TV ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! You go BOI !
So when you have it installed go to your downloads and hit extract. But if it didnt save on to your pc from Mega refresh the page and hit the green button on bottom right
really good stuff....my background is filmmaking but have my first visual novel game coming out soon on steam, our store page out in next few weeks based on ip of a feature film script of mine...this was beautiful, look forward to more..this , leap of faith, chasing sunsets and being a dik top of the game
Thank you for your compliments! And great to hear your VN is making its way to Steam. If you wouldn't mind, would you let me know the name so I may wishlist?
Dude I just have to ask... I've spotted that you model these girls after real life people. Cass is definitely Alexandra Daddario, Naomi gives me some Jennifer Conelly vibes, June looks a bit like Ana de Armas and Zelda's smiling face reminds me of Emilia Clarke. What about other girls?
Haha, Cassandra's base model is from Alexandra model with some tweaks. Everyone else isn't based on actresses. Although I have seen people say Naomi's revised model resembles Katrina Law. Another person said that the random render I did of Artemis, she sort of looks like Ana de Armas.
There'[s a lot of rip-off's on Itch.Io. from only getting updates on Patreon, where you have to pay to become a member - plus the cost of the game. To early access games like this where you have pay for every update!
Hi there. I'm unsure why you're so angry at me. Patreon and itch are two different platforms. Patreon is if you wish to further support a developer. It is completely optional and no one forces anyone to go there, at least for my game. Patreon and Itch get updates at around the same time. Itch is a few days behind while I address any bugs reported, but it gets updated here as well. CH1 was released for free to be more of a demo and the update is just $10. On itch, paying the $10 gives you access to all updates. Only time that changes is if the price changes for the update and if you look at my prices, they're all the same for each update. So paying for Ch2 will automatically give you access to Ch3, and so on. Chapter 3 is the latest update and I am still developing Ch4.
So I buy version X, and unlike any other game genre, to get the latest version I have to pay a monthly fee to get it. That's your choice. You could put the update on Itch, where I have bought the game from at the same time as Patreon's. Everything devs do is their choice. There are games on Steam that have 2 chapters, on Patreon there are 9 chapters, and people on Steam have waited 6 months for these other 7 chapters. Be like most other games, release them at 1.0 (i.e. finished) and then charge more for them. Given VNs are so story based, it is so frustrating getting to an arbitrary end and not know when you are going to be able to continue with the story.
VNs are a tiny market because devs are more interested in Patreon's than customers, who bought their game on Itch or Steam!
Looks like you missed where I said "Itch is a few days behind while I address any bugs reported, but it gets updated here as well" Not weeks. Not months. Just a few days while I address bugs reported.
Relax dude. Don't come in here swinging, complaining about what others are doing when I have nothing to do with them.
Do you want to pay money for 0.2 and wait for 0.9 for a year when some games are on Patreon for 6 months+ before they get updated on Steam or Itch. Then fine.
You are a Genius. I Love the Graphics, The Story and the never Stopping Humor. If we could Buy such Stuff on Steam in Germany i´d love to Buy it there :D

Amazing...keep doing what you're doing. its working
Just have to say that this is a great story!! Most games like this...well...you don't expect much, but when the new update dropped i was psyched just for the continuation of the story first and foremost!! Great job! Looking forward to more!
Hello, I seem to have been charged twice for the purchase of the full version of your game. What would be the best way of resolving this?
Contact Itch.io?
Hey, when will you release the fourth chapter for Mac ?
finished the latest update, and, well, GODDAMN! All of my previous laudation continues to apply. I get lost in the story, love and despise characters, and maintain a healthy bit of yearning.
When the protagonist gets with the romantic or close friend characters, I want you to take more time—slow role the camera view over the scene, across the bodies, and build up the romance. That’s all I could advise.

Is there a discord? And if not are the dataleaks just unlocked by playing through or are there items to click to unlock them?
should be through the game there should be a discord icon
I found it I just normally play on my laptop but download on my phone as im a trucker and have very limited Hotspot so tend to DL the pc version on my phone and transfer the folder over.
God damn! That is one of the best stories! Great game! I LOVE IT!
WTF? No Mac link? Linux but not Mac?
EDIT: Just read your post. Sucks that Mac can be so difficult. Steam is iffy for Mac users as well. I guess it is what it is.
Can we get an alternative download site? I just paid 10 and I cant even try to download it without getting the megadrive app because I use firefox apparently

Side note: never, ever in a million years download jdownloader as it will not make you wait an unlawful amount of time to download mega links. It is an absolutely terrible application that shouldn't be installed under any circumstances.
One of the best AVN out there. Thank you for your hard work!
So hilarious. A word of warning though, I was eating lunch and nearly choked when I recognised the number of the donation hotline for the animal shelter.
can some one tell me the costumes for chapter 4?
Not spoiling anything this early but... that chapter 4 cameo... epic!
I bought the game sometime ago and I'm very excited to play the new chapter, however, can you please also upload it somewhere that's not Mega
Yeah I had to pay another $5 for MEGA to download 10 gb files. Because 10 gb files download is not allowed for free account.
jdownloader...
Thank you!!! I have been waiting for the next chapter. I think a few of us fans were worried. I am glad you are doing well and are continuing with your art.
Really glad to see this project is not dead, keep up the great work

It's fine. Like I said, it just meant I had to wait until the next day to start playing because I couldn't get it all in one download session. Looks really cool!
Most people can download 5GB in like 10 minutes. Might want to take a look at your connection
It's not my download speed. It's MEGA. They only allow 5gb download per day for free users. So when he uploads his game to MEGA, and it's greater than 5bg in size, then it takes free users more than one day to get it all. Understand now?

I paid 10$ for chapter 1 and got all the others (2 and 3 at the moment) for free. Unless the price go up I think I will get the other chapters.
Thanks for the info.
Hey everyone, its' been super busy getting CH4 wrapped up. I'll be uploading the latest version this week as soon as wrap up the remaining bugs and spelling corrections reported.
Is there an update soon?

Is this a harem or a single path type story?
no harem route confirmed on discord
Bro can you provide me that discord link
It's in the game's main menu iirc
thanks buddy (Artemis Discord link :- https://discord.com/invite/qnPexQUnEz )
Don’t rush it, but just so you know, many of us are seriously anticipating the next update…like ppl awaiting the next great series on Netflix. Just saying…
:-)
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
Wanted to say phenomenal work on the story, love the characters, tried out 0.1.2 and immediately grabbed 0.3.2, can't wait for more. (Also do you just overwrite and the saves remain compatible?)

Oh and I forgot to say, the music is just *chef's kiss*. Awesome work by whoever produced the tracks for this game.
Hi there and thanks. In the free version, there’s a save folder. You can move that from the free version to the /game/ directory. Alternatively you can also copy the contents from the update you downloaded and overwrite the free version.
Let me know how it goes!
Dude, I just finished chapter 1 and I am already hooked for life. When you feel down and demotivated from developing, please remember that you have a lifetime supporter here. This is really SOMETHING for years to come.
That Ain't no firkin lie either this guy is the best I've seen yet ! Still can't wait too see what coming next !
Not gonna lie, I am getting anxious waiting for the next update. Based on the development log, it will be here anytime soon - but here's hoping that something big will be here for Kinda!
A-frikken-men. I want it BAD. And totally agree, digi_b is 100% an awesome dev.
When will the next update be , please ? I Absolutely love this particular story , especially how a certain someone got FUBARED ON TV ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! You go BOI !
nice story!maybe one of the best! It really touched me a lot， I can't wait until the next update.
One of the best VN i have ever played. Great story and amazing art, definitely worth the wait for updates.
I just bought this game for windows, and downloaded through mega, it is now saved as a file, how do i make it to where i can actually play the game?
So when you have it installed go to your downloads and hit extract. But if it didnt save on to your pc from Mega refresh the page and hit the green button on bottom right
android version?
I have to say, this is one of my favorites this year. I just finished playing the current release, and I can't wait until the next update.
when is next content update?
There is a small handful of scenes that remain. I am shooting for sometime in August at the latest.
Nice!
really good stuff....my background is filmmaking but have my first visual novel game coming out soon on steam, our store page out in next few weeks based on ip of a feature film script of mine...this was beautiful, look forward to more..this , leap of faith, chasing sunsets and being a dik top of the game
Thank you for your compliments! And great to hear your VN is making its way to Steam. If you wouldn't mind, would you let me know the name so I may wishlist?
sorry havent been here in a while.....Crown of Thorns is the name of my vn
I know right , more than an awesome set of stories , you can't get a better writer than this guy !!
Dude I just have to ask... I've spotted that you model these girls after real life people. Cass is definitely Alexandra Daddario, Naomi gives me some Jennifer Conelly vibes, June looks a bit like Ana de Armas and Zelda's smiling face reminds me of Emilia Clarke. What about other girls?

Dude , Chill !! , can't you see that this is one of the better writer's in this genera , no need to be an ass about it !
You can be part of the solution or help continue the problem. It's obvious what your choice is.
So you want everything given to you ? The world does not work like that , so quit complaining and go on about your life !
Do you want to pay money for 0.2 and wait for 0.9 for a year when some games are on Patreon for 6 months+ before they get updated on Steam or Itch. Then fine.
Dude. that may be the case for other devs but as this one said, they update both itch and patreon within days of eachother
