I tend to avoid the frustration of not being able to decide what my character is into.

There is a GxG route, but you may want to wait until chapter 2 for when she appears. :3
Once I see what art we need for it, I can give an estimate for the full demo to be released. I want to say mid-ish May.

So, no Esmeralda? Pity.
Oh well, guess I'm waiting for the full demo. Looking forward to it.

There is an Esmerelda route, but it's a secret ;D

The size actually looks fine, its just that I have a hard time finding them because of the text colors..but I think it looks okay as it is, since it does give that blend in the bg kind of touch..and yes the "menu" option would be preferable..quick access buttons can be quite convenient.

i love the demo i can wait for full game and i love the art and colors in this game

Okay, so I played the demo, since I couldn't wait until mid-May.
Apart from a few grammar errors...that I probably should have noted down but completly forgot...there is only one thing that kinda bothers me. The dialouge box. It's pretty enough, but it seems just a tad too...asymmetrical. Like the right side is longer than the left side. Of course that could be intentional on your part and it doesn't stop me from enjoying the game.

Anyway, I love the art. The background and the characters are beautifully drawn.
As far as the characters themselves go:
Zex: I love him. He's such a cute bugger and I just wanna cuddle the hell out of him. He's exactly the type I tend to go for in Otome games. The nice, fun one. (Either that or I go for the grumpy older man.) The fact that he has fur and is therefore MADE to be cuddled is just an added bonus. Also, his tail. I wanna squeeze it.
Peter: Can't say too much about him. Suffice to say that I don't usually like his type. Too self-assure and cocky. But you know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover. (Him usually dating men and using his powers against homophobia is a nice touch, however.)
Eric: He's...nice. That's really all I can say about him. He's kind. I really liked the bit about Unicorns being naturally touchy-feely, though.
Es: I KEEP THROWING ENGAGEMENT RINGS AT THE SCREEN, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. (Don't mind me, just sitting here, praying that her secret route is awesome and won't leave me frustrated. Secret routes are often not as satisfying as the normal ones, at least that's my experience. So please take this as simple worrying and not as me doubting your talent.^^)

In any case, I'm looking forward to the full demo and getting to know Nerina.

Hee, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

I can take a look at the dialogue box and see if I can even it out a bit, although it will be on the back burner in terms of things the game needs!

Zex gets a lot of favorite votes for being a goofball. I was worried people wouldn't like him because he is a tiger, but everyone has responded well to him. We are actually reworking parts of chapter 1 pertaining to Eric to give him a better chance to show his colors, so to speak. I am also adding a CG for Eric and Es for chapter 1.


Chapter 2 coding is going pretty quickly. It's just a matter of the art I need to draw. :3

Looking for beta testers for chapters 2 and three of the demo. PM if interested!

Also, made a FB page for Floating Isles studios! https://www.facebook.com/FloatingIsles

Adding the results of a streaming session from just now!

Made a new pose for Eric at last! Poor fella has been fairly static and in the same outfit.
It's just a teaser since you'll be able to see him in game in a few days.

Demo: up through chapter 3! Please take a read and let us know what you thought.
Windows
Mac
Linux

Please note that there are a few placeholders, but they are all drawn by me.
The Linux version has not been tested.

Yay, gonna play it as soon as I can. I've been waiting anxiously.

Downloaded the demo and played it through one time. Very well done and enjoyable! Will have to go back and take some of the other choices. I will be anxious to see the rest of it appear.

Awesome! Yea, if you haven't seen Eric's other sprite/outfit it's pretty fun. :3

I thought the first demo was amazing, but THIS

First of all... HOW DID YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE ES OVER THE MALE INTERESTS
Since I infinitely prefer GxB or BxB over GxG, this is literally the first time I have chosen to hang out with the "female" (I'm actually not sure since apparently Nerina's the only GxG route but Es has a secret one??? orz BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER) interest over the male ones on the first go. ESSSS WHERE ARE YOU IN MY REAL LIFE
... God, I love that manticore. She has so much spunk! And while we're on the subject of breaking habits - HOW DID YOU MAKE ME GUSH OVER A LYCANTHROPE
Furry is one of my most NOPE categories but I found Zex adorable. Peter was my favorite in the first demo, but now... yeah. XD I still really like him, but Zex and Es definitely take the cake. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PREFERENCES As for Eric, all I can really say is I aww'd at how sweet he was. Nerina... she's sexy, I guess? Yeah sorry, I didn't get that good a grasp on her character XD

And last but not least, Kenna! I loved her character design from the start, but her personality certainly did not disappoint. I was actually surprised by how... moe she was. Art: What can I say? It was lovely. I really like the fact that the characters got multiple poses, and that Kenna had so many different poses just for her side-image. The backgrounds were especially well done, and the pastel colors complemented each other well.

Okay, now for the setting and plotline. The weakest part of this piece would be the music. Although they always suit the mood, the tracks get a little repetitive after a while and often don't really augment the scenes they're playing in. In addition, But yeah.
I don't understand why this thread isn't flooded with comments already.
This is one of the games - if not the game - that I'm looking forward most to this year! Best of luck to you guys!
