I've had an idea with this VN - you know the 'Butterfly Effect' (not the film, but the one which relates to the Chaos Theory)? I'm thinking about implementing it into BH as your choices can greatly affect the story. I've already got one of the assets required for it -

The asset will appear whenever you make an important choice which will affect the story later on. As an example,
when you refuse to meet Ruby, that's as an example of the Butterfly Effect as she takes offense and jumpscares you later.
Another idea was the '-insert character name here- liked/disliked your actions' which would alert the player to when they've caused a character a certain strong feeling. That would most likely depend on me being able to code in variables which would change the dialogue later on - do you think I'm being too ambitious?

lewis and lauren will always appear in the middle of the screen due to their costume positioning on the canvas. this will be fixed soon!
victoria's thigh bug still hasn't been fixed
a background has potentially disappeared

Hey Tiger,

Just finished the new version here.
I like the changes made regarding Lewis. Creepiness factor is still present but wayyy down from before. He appears more often than before as well. I believe he's present in most scenes I've played this time, and I think that adds a feeling of centrality to your established world and plotline. One thing that confuses me is the relationship between the main character and Ella/Lewis.
You did a great job with the smooth intro of Lewis' sister, Harper. But I wish I had a small intro for who Ella was to the main as she speaks as a well-known friend. Especially so for Lewis who seemingly can't wait to get the main and himself alone.


Overall the writing has just gotten better and it's good to see you still making moves.

Ready as I'll ever be.

1.The first character we meet seems so tiny compared to the guy that appears next...
2. The class background has really low quality. Maybe it does not irritate others during the game, but does irritate me.
3. Actually, character sprites are really good and adorable ;)
4. I would love to say something more about the gameplay, but an error stoped me.
Good luck!

Thanks! Ella is meant to be tiny - I still haven't finished her spirit yet (bc I'm lazy). I'm hoping to make my own backgrounds at some point - those are just placeholders. I'm glad you like it so far though.

Hello I tried your project, I was curious to discover more about the story but no matter what paths I took, every time I encounter a renpy error. I sent you everything via private message.

Good continuation

Unfortunately Beating Hearts release date of 25th December 2020 will have to most likely be pushed back. This game is currently postponed as I am short of time and I have many ends to still tie up. I will still occasionally work on this- but not very much. Thank you for sticking through this project though

I will be making a new thread at some point for the new Beating Hearts game which will hopefully be called Aceitols: The Final Chapter. I'll link the new thread when I've made it
