BACKGROUND
Purrfectly Ever After is an original English language visual novel (OELVN) for girls. This dating sim is filled with side-splitting comedy, over-the-top drama, and of course, heart-melting romance. This first game from Weeev aims to bridge the gap between Japanese-centric otome games told in a not-so-Japanese point of view and storyline.

STORY
Purrfectly Ever After focuses on a food-loving burglar cat who gets herself into a series of unfortunate events which ended up feeling sorry for herself. Luckily for her, she also encounters kind strangers who rescue her along the way. She wished that she could become a human so that she could earn food honestly. Her wish is overheard by a fairy godfather she didn’t even know she had. And so begins her story.

There are 5 romance-able characters that you can start your story from and each of them has 2 branches of ending, Romance and Destiny. If the hidden character milestone is achieved, an additional character route will be added into the game, totalling to 6 characters.

FEATURES
- 5 characters to romance
- 10 possible endings; split into Romance and Destiny endings
- High replay value
- Japanese voice acting
- Available in English and Japanese (日本語)
- Episodic content
- Available for iOS and Android, Windows and Mac if Greenlit

1. Did the concept and summary intrigue you to play the game? Yes, though honestly I was taken with it by how pretty the art is. After back tracking from that, actually reading, the setting and concept sounds charming, potentially hilarious, adorable. My taste in VN's are pretty much just that; deep and intriguing, or tongue in cheek, cute, but engaging. This certainly seems the latter, at least.
2. Do you like the art style? As above, of course. The backgrounds are utterly glorious from what I can tell and the characters look awesome!
3. Would you play this game on mobile platform? What is your preferred platform? I would, and I would prefer it. Playing visual novels on my phone is the best (ios), and though there have been way more VNs on ios in the past year or so, I'd adore more.
4. Any general feedback or encouragement is appreciated.
Oh, I don't know what to say beyond what I already have. The game sounds adorable, the art is gorgeous, I would be all over that demo like a cat on a mouse. ;)

Hi underbliss! Thanks for your feedback! Yes, as you've suspected, the storyline is light hearted, adorable, funny, not very heavy type of game. It's developed for mobile but we want to know if there's any demand for other platforms so we can decide if we want to port it.

I hope you'll like the demo when it's out!

1. Did the concept and summary intrigue you to play the game?
>> Yes, the storie looks interesting, but for now my eyes are more attracted by the graphics
2. Do you like the art style?
>> Well... YES!
3. Which character description is your favourite?
>> For now, I don't really know. See after playing ;) But I like Cassian concept (like guys with long hair, teehee ~)
4. Would you play this game on mobile platform? What is your preferred platform?
>> Um, let me see... I think mobile is good. Why not on PSP? It's too difficult?
5. How much would you pay to play this game? Is USD$3.99 an affordable price for you, for a 10-12 episodes per character route?
>> One episode = $3.99? Or 10-12 episodes = $3.99? If it for 10-12 episodes, well yes, it's affordable! Buuut it depends on the context and content of the episodes. I can not really say without having played the demo
6. Any general feedback or encouragement is appreciated =D
>>Can't wait for the demo, the art seems wonderful!
Good luck for the next ^^

Thank you MelowBee!
My partner is not too familiar with PSP programming and I think there are some legal rights bound to PSP games that need clearance.
We are not familiar with that platform, that's why we chose mobile.

The content weight will be almost similar to the otome games on mobile currently but we are trying to add more depth to the characters and stories.
We aim to have the demo to represent the prologue of the game so that players will have a taste of the characters involved.

Will update again soon!

You might want to adjust the topic title - by usual conventions the letter that comes first is the gender of the protagonist, so I clicked on this topic thinking it was going to be a male protagonist romancing female characters. That confusion might be keeping some players out of this topic! :)

Everything about this is love <3 Especially the retro-futurism aspect. Good luck!

This looks great! I can only emphasise all of the comments and praise that has already been said. The backgrounds actually remind me of the type in Voltage games, so shiny!
If you need a proofreader then let me know! I'd be more than happy to help.

One question though, and I apologise if this has already been asked/answered, how much is it going to be sold for?

Really looking forward to seeing this though. ^_^

Thank you for your kinda offer, ColaCat! We already have an editor now but if we need one in future, I'll keep you in the tab :)
In actual fact, we aim to rival Voltage games, if not better.
So as for pricing structure, it will also be similar but of course we will give special deals during crowdfunding period :)
Do give us your thoughts and hope you will keep on supporting us!

Okay. ^_^

I wish you great success! The plot certainly seems less cliche than some of the stuff Voltage come up with (I mean, I love their games an' all, but it's all the same...).
Plus, there need to be more mainstream OELVN producers out there! ^^
I will most certainly be keeping tabs on this!

I'm a big fan of Voltage too but there are some things that just ticks me during gameplay and I kept thinking it should be this and that.
That's when I thought of coming up with my own world and story.
I can't say the process is smooth but definitely lessons to be learn along the way :)

And I saw some WIP stuff from Flightless and WhoisMike, look very promising!
I love how matured the works look :)
Will these titles be commercial titles and are there WIP threads here?

Well, as long as you can look back and know what could be better, you're on the right track!

Who is Mike is going to be a free game, it just needs to be beta-tested a bit more so that we know there are definitely no bugs!
I can't take much credit for any of it though, I proofread, tested, and supported ameliori while she was making it - but pretty much all of the work was done by her. It was only after Who is Mike, and a lot of chatting about what to make next, that she asked me to join her new group - Fervent. Flightless, I assume, is going to be free to play. The WIP isn't up here yet, but ame has made a lot of progress on the writing etc. , so we're hoping that after Who is Mike has been properly released/has no more problems we can put up a WIP!
Again, ame did all the art so I'll pass on the praise! I love her style too! Now we can both be in the fanclub...
