This was incredible, have never even played an MMORPG before but I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is so well made!!   Reminded me of when I played Blooming Panic for the first time - I loved it

Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving a comment! I'm so glad to hear that the game was enjoyable even if you aren't an MMORPG player yourself -- and I hope the terminology and mechanics weren't too confusing! I'll work hard to make sure the full game is as fun and hopefully live up to your praise! Haha

Just started playing this! Damn it's sooo goood!!! Really feels like playing an MMORPG, got me all nostalgic. I'm not sure if formats of other MMORPGs are similar to this one but I think this one's pretty close to the template and UI for Guild Wars 2? I've played that for a while. Correct me if I'm wrong, thanks! Time to continue playing! (^^

Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving a comment! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I hope it brought back some fond MMORPG memories for you too! Haha 

I think quite a few MMORPGs I know of share similar UI setups like this, actually ^^ This particular UI was also a royalty-free premade MMORPG UI kit that I purchased, which I then edited to fit my needs, so I suppose it might also be a bit generic in that regard, haha.

Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the game! :D

oh my dear god it was incredible!! i had such fun with mechanics, it's all both so innovative and nostalgic i'm in love! and characters are just agaeginaergnwp'G

love them all, chris especially somehow! i'm looking forward to seeing more of this wonderful game! thank you so much!

Thank you so much for playing the demo and taking the time to leave a comment! I'm so happy to hear that you find the mechanics fun! My own nostalgia for the good old MMORPG days was definitely what inspired me to create this visual novel, haha. 

Don't worry, you're not the only one! Apparently, Chris has been sneakily stealing a lot of players' hearts out of nowhere LOL. I'm glad you like the characters! 

Thank you again! I'll work hard to finish the full game as soon as possible!

Woooowww!!!

I think I just spent a whole ten minutes just looking at everything starryeyed after booting the game up! Everything looks so incredibly beautiful and well-put-together. I can't even imagine how much work that must have taken on the backend. And all the extra background lore just for choosing your race and class and all that was honestly a joy, that made me so happy!

And the characters... ah... my heart...I really thought I would fall for Nathan the hardest, but after talking Khanyisa and Chris I can safely say I'm in love with everyone. They're all really compelling.

And not just the LIs, all the characters come across as realistic and fleshed out. Lamp is my baby now. I love his crackly mic. I really enjoyed all the little characteristics people had, and of course the RL drama that creeps into the game. Plus, very cool that people aside from the LIs have VAs!! wasn't expecting that!!

I have one single criticism and that is that I now have to wait for the full game to be out, haha. Amazing work! Keep it up, I'm really excited to see more!

(I neglected to mention it in my own comment so I'm gonna squeeze in over here with jamwizard to second the Lamp & crackly mic love. 🥰)

Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving a comment! 

You're far too kind with your praises and compliments ahhhh. Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that the extra details I spent probably way too much time on enhanced the experience! 

I'm so glad that you like all the three love interests and the side characters too! Hahaha, Lamp with his bad mic is one of my favorite parts of the game for sure. I wish I could afford to give voiced lines to more side characters, but alas, budget concerns, so only these lucky few get to have a working mic I guess LOL 

Thank you so much again! I'll do my best to finish the game as quickly as possible! ^^

honestly cannot wait for the full release. the whole demo exceeded my expectations and was super immersive!! i love the feel of the game that ive gotten so  far and i cant wait to see how it develops!!

(+1)

Thank you so much for playing the demo and taking the time to leave a comment! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it and found the game immersive. I'll definitely work hard to make the rest of the game even better, and I'll post updates on our Twitter if you're interested in following the development process! ^^

Ok, wow. I am absolutely blown away by how much of a blast this demo was!

I've never been a very active MMORPG player but I can definitely feel that this game is too accurate to what being in a guild feels like, especially with the temper tantrums, chat shenanigans and overall silliness LOL

The immersive UI, the characters, the voice acting, LITERALLY EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD!! All the love interests are so so interesting and I can't wait to get to know more of their backstories! It was also really easy to get invested in all the guild drama since the side characters seem well fleshed out and just... like real people who have their own lives and are all brought together by this one game they really enjoy (in truth I'm already WAY too attached to all of them DHGFJDF).

Once again, this demo was really fun to play, immersive and incredibly well executed. Can't wait for the full release!!

Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving a comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed the demo, and thank you for such high praise and all the compliments! 

I'm so happy to hear that the game is realistic and the characters are interesting and feel real! I tried to give every side character their own personality, backstory and character arc (even if not all of it may be covered in the game itself), and I'm really pleased that it seems to be working so far and you care for them! Your choices and interactions with them will start resulting in consequences too as the game goes on, so the more you care for them, the better! ;) 

Thank you again for the kind comment! I'll do my best to finish the full release as soon as possible!

(English is a foreign language for me but i will try make this message as clear as possible) Only a short demo but I am already in love with this game! It just hits all the right places. Setting is amazing, made me kinda nostalgic for my past MMORPG days. Interface is so cool with those in-game stuff and chat/audio/video things. All characters are so loveable (side characters included), they are seem so real and full of life. I can't wait to play full game and I think it will became one of my favorites. I wish you good luck with development, may it be easy and enjoyable experience for you! Thank you for great job, it definitely made my day!

Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving a comment! Your English is perfectly understandable, and I'm so happy to hear such kind compliments ^^ I also created this game out of nostalgia for my old MMORPG days too, so I'm really glad it evoked the same kind of emotions for you! I definitely tried my best to give every side character their own personality, backstory and character arcs, so I'm relieved that they do come across as seeming real and likeable characters.

Thank you for writing such a lovely comment! It made my day to see this! I'll try my best to finish the full game as soon as possible!

MAN THIS GAME PISSED ME OFF BUT IN THE BEST WAY LOL I mean that wholeheartedly as a compliment, I've played way too much WoW and FFXIV so when I saw the raiders acting up and sort of lashing out, it felt very familiar and realistic to how I've seen some of my guildies act out in the past, so it was very easy for me to be immersed in the setting and get invested in the story, I'm incredibly excited to see the rest of the game!

Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving a comment! LOL I'm glad the game is realistic and even immersive enough to evoke the same emotions in you like WoW / FFXIV! Hopefully the full game will be just as fun too! I'll do my best to finish the rest of the game asap! ^^

This is a really great game; I'm so excited for the full version! One question (that maybe I just missed bc my mind wanders too much during tutorials lol): how do you close the PM window once it's up? I couldn't get it down during the segment exploring the dungeon with Possibly, and that was a shame bc I couldn't see the cool mob designs!

Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave a comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the demo :) 

Oh, I probably didn't make it clear in the tutorial, so it's my oversight. If there's no outstanding choices to be made in the PMs, there should be a tiny X that shows up at the top right corner of the chat tab next to the character's name! If you close all of the open PM tabs, the whole PM chat window would close.

Sorry about that! I should probably add a note for it somewhere in the tutorials, haha.

Thanks so so much! This is a really fantastic game!

Just finished playing and that was a lot of fun! The love interests have my heart already haha. They're all interesting, and I look forward to seeing how things go with them! And I liked the side characters too, I can definitely see how much care was put into everyone! Good luck with the rest of development <3

Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving a comment! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game and liked the characters! :D I'll work hard to bring the full game to you all as soon as possible!

any chance an android version is in ghe future?

Hi! Thanks for the interest and question!

I'm not quite sure right now -- I am tentatively interested in making an android port, but I do worry it wouldn't be very feasible because of the UI design (being as MMO-like as possible). I feel like scaled down to an Android port, everything would be barely readable or clickable on a phone, haha. I'll look into the possibility, but I can't promise anything right now, sorry! I hope you get the chance to perhaps try the game on a PC at some point! :)

my pc recently pooped. I suspect the PSU going bad. android also runs on tablets. big screens. That's just me nitpicking though, thanks for the thoughtful and quick answer!

This game is ridiculously cool. It feels wildly ambitious and yet you did it! I'm amazed you were able to morph renpy into this.


Emberfate is immersive from the start, with a gorgeous selection of music (I was amazed to see it was royalty-free with how well it fit the game's atmosphere - HOW.) and fully functional character creator. I deadass spent several IRL minutes reading through and debating what kind of character I wanted to make, which is an on-point experience for an RPG style game. I really loved the options to be unemployed and self-employed, in particular.

Personally, I'm not a fan of MMORPGs; I played a few years of Final Fantasy only because my partner at the time really needed a healer LOL. The general drama and saltiness of certain players -- especially the passive aggressive dialogue demonstrated by the in-game user Nanami-chan -- is all too real (especially ending with "lol" all the time omggg) and a big factor of why I'm averse to playing these games in real life... but damn it's masterfully captured here, and an absolute blast to experience in a VN.

The artwork is great all around. The UI fits the game perfectly and the CGs are gorgeous - Rem has always had a beautifully expressive way of depicting characters' hands. <3 And speaking of the characters, I already care about them.  Every single love interest is interesting and gosh I hope I can help them out even if I'm not actively romancing them. The twist with Chris genuinely surprised me.

The dialogue lines (both from voice and chat) are awesome with multiple instances making me giggle -- heck I knew I was in for a fun ride when they talked about renaming a guildmate to long-lost-dad.


Uhhh yep that's all the notes I took while playing. I'll be patiently looking forward to more.~

Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment! 

Ahhhh thank you for the super kind comments and praise! I honestly had a lot of help with coding, and the hardest parts like the chat system was done by the incredible programmer Shawna, who saved me a lot of headaches LOL If only you could see the code for the rest -- it's a mess held thinly together by dangling tape and tears. Haha

I'm really glad the game has been immersive for you, which is definitely one of my biggest goals! I got really lucky with the kind of royalty-free assets I managed to find and purchase for sure, and I'm relieved you think they fit the game well! 

I used to play Final Fantasy XIV too, among other MMORPGs! That kind of drama and passive aggressiveness / raging is definitely a classic. I hope that didn't bring up any traumatic raiding memories for you! LOL 

Rem is definitely amazing and did such a great job with the CG art for the love interests! I'm glad you enjoyed the dialogue and the characters too! The current plan is for players to be able to help the LIs and maintain friendships with them even if they're not the current romancing target, but I'll have to see if the branching gets a bit too rough to manage in the end. I'm hopeful I can keep this as a feature though! All the LIs deserve some (platonic or romantic) love for sure~

Again, thank you so much for trying the demo and taking the time to let me know your thoughts! I'll hopefully be able to finish the rest of the game within the next few months and you wouldn't have to wait too long! Haha

I'M BACK

AND HERE'S MY VERY RAMBLY THOUGHTS BECAUSE IM SO EXCITED AND LOVED THIS SO MUCH.


Honestly a huge throwback to my SWTOR days, from the fun, realistic, silly (and sometimes serious) guild chat, to the spambot PMs,.  Just all the joy and nostalgia of that era of life for me.  Plus everyone, especially the ROs/LIs just feel so real and human, with their very realistic problems and busy lives.

I LOVE being able to interact so much with my guildmates and I love the beautiful art (and adorable pets!!!  PLAY FOR THE PETS PEOPLE) god this is probably my most anticipated game right now, can't wait for the full release.

Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment! I'm happy to hear the game brought back good old MMORPG memories for you! Haha (Especially the spam mail -- who can ever forget those?) 

I'm so glad you think the characters feel real and human! I tried really hard to give every single character a personality and backstory / (sometimes behind-the-scenes) character arc of their own, so I'm relieved some of it is coming through. 

The pets are definitely my favorite part of the game too LOL Can't wait to show off the art of all the LIs' pets in the full game! I'll do my best to try to get the full release ready as soon as possible!

Loved the game, loved the characters.  They all won me over in the end making it difficult to choose a favorite one.  They all have their pros and cons which I won't be going into (join the server) here.  Absolutely full of memorable side characters that all have their own stand out personality. It brought me back to my days playing mmo's online. For sure will be following the development of this game! To a speedy release!

Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment! I'm really happy to hear that you liked the love interests — and the side characters too! My nostalgia for my old MMO days is definitely what inspired this project, so I'm glad this brought back some (hopefully fond) MMORPG memories for you! Haha

To a speedy release indeed! Hopefully I'll be able to get this whole game wrapped up in the new few months!

So excited!! Will come back here and leave a review once I've finished playing a few run throughs!!
