Wow, just... wow... I'm so glad I came back to this... I just now realized the new update for Darrell came out...
(Spoilers btw)
I AM IN LOVE WITH DARRELL!!! Before the new update, I was so mad that I was left on a cliffhanger, and genuinely thought he hated me but holy shit I love this update, and uhh... love that sauna part too :D
Hello. Do not click on any links you may find in this comment section. The version available to download here on the itch page is most recent version of Chord Progressions. Click the "download now" button above.
This is the first visual novel I’ve ever played, and OMG—I'm seriously in love with the vibe and mood the game brings. I’ve only played Darrell’s route so far. Gotta say, he’s totally my type so I picked him without even thinking twice. I was completely immersed in every moment the game offered. When Eddy started getting closer to Darrell and there were some romantic moments happening, I was literally high as heck =))) And then when Darrell misunderstood Eddy... my mood just dropped right along with him. I’ve finished the route but my heart still feels heavy :( Can’t wait for the next update to see what Eddy will say to Darrell! All in all, I really love this game. Thank you so much! <3
I was going to Ask when the other routes were going to pop up. Because I swear I saw Trent's pop up on an earlier version but now there's only Chester and Darrell.
Just finished the available routes and really liked it so far, although neither Chester nor Derrill are my favorite of the bunch, even being positively surprised by Derrill's route. I think the storytelling is really good and how you can see the missing pieces of the overall story on other routes is great. Can't wait for Pat's and Cliffs routes to pop up, even if it will take a long time, so long it keep this quality the wait is worth it. Good job to all members involved, your hard work really shows
If I had to briefly summarize this update. "out of the frying pan, into the fire" But seriously. Eddy decides to take his nose out of Chester's business to end up getting mixed up in Pat Drama's. Frankly, I wonder if he's not doing it on purpose.
U make me this night one of the happiest nights ever...everything was perfect,and all the waiting was worth it.Your work and that of your entire team is simply beautiful, it's something that truly makes you feel that spark inside, thank you very much :3💖🙏
Working on some final touches. I've also been struggling with spotty internet today... hopefully I can get this up in the next 2-3 hours. Sorry for the extra wait!
i wasnt really a fan of furries and i really liked a game (my first gay nsfw game) on steam so i came here to find some others but most of them was and still is furry games. I was like "noo, i want some with non furry elements " etc. but when i started to play them, i started to really enjoy them. discovering the new features of body, the primal moments and soft hugs and much more. im still not in anyway near being a furry but i really appreciate them now, thanks i guess for letting me discover something in me. (unnecessary over sharing but i wanted to say it 😊)
When i gave this VN a shot, admittedly I was feeling terrible due to other stuff in my life. I started this VN when I felt cold and numb in my soul, but after awhile I found myself smiling and giggling. It takes a lot to pull me out of my emotional turmoil and this VN did it. So thank you. Truly.
It's okay if the route makes you feel uncomfortable. There's an inherent power imbalance between MC/Eddy and Chester, which will come more into focus as the story progresses. Not everyone is going to want to indulge in that fantasy, and that's okay. This is partly why I decided to work on Darrell's route in tandem with Chester's.
Please be careful when you use the word "grooming". It often implies that an adult is seeking to abuse a minor. Eddy is a 25-year-old man and Chester is not seeking to abuse him.
I see someone's already on typo patrol, so I'm just gonna say this:
This story is GREAT so far! Loving the hunks, tho of course I'm wishing for at least one reptile, heh X3 ...But please, stop mixing tense the way you have been in narration. (Folks misuse tense all the time in conversation, so no worries there.)
I'm not trying to shit on you, I promise—tense can be tricky! But you've sometimes got one sentence in past tense but then another in present in the same text box. If you're mixing tense, you should do so sparingly, and for only where it makes sense. Here's an example:
*: We get in the car.
*transition*
*: We drove for a few minutes, chatting here and there. It wasn't very eventful, otherwise. Now, we're here, back at the store.
Use it to refer to things that definitively happened in the past that we didn't see clearly, like after time skips or talking about something a character did in the past, if you use it at all. The place I most recently found issue with was during the Pollos scene with Trent:
*: . . .I take a chip and dip it into the bowl and shoveled the ensemble into my mouth."
You mixed tense in the same sentence ^^; Common mistake, don't worry, I do it too. That said, earlier, you did do it more understandably:
*: We paid. . .retrieved. . .and returned. . .
*: He pokes around his bowl with a fork.
This works here because it's summarizing a bunch of boring actions in succession before getting back to the present. I would have done it present the whole way because it's all in the same scene, no transition or time skip, but this is perfectly valid, too!
Technically speaking, it's unusual to mix tense in a narrative, mostly outside of stuff like, "Jack seems confident—he did this same thing as a kid tons of times—and winds up like a baseball pitcher to throw the rubber chicken." But I mix tense myself, so I would be a hypocrite to take the easy route and say don't do it at all ^^; Just be aware of why you decide to change tense and when/where.
Other than that, I'm quite enjoying this story! I have a BA in Music, so I'm looking forward to seeing Eddy learn more about the wonderful world of it. The voice acting is also really great—and it's not too much. Loads of VNs try to have a LOT of voice acting, some are fully voiced, but I find that can get a little annoying at times.
Finally, I stopped to write this to ask something, mainly: when the hell did you get into my mind to write Trent's big voiced line during lunch? Because holy crap was I hearing an echo! Very good work there, makes him relatable! (I also related to Eddy at that time, heh.)
Terribly sorry if this was rude at all >_<; Just wanted to give some advice.
As for more feedback, AAAAAA WHAT A CLIFFHANGERRRRR YOU MEANIEEEE! Just got to the current end of Darrell's route, really loving it. Apart from the tense thing, you're doing pretty well! Dunno if I wanna go down Chester's route, but I do wanna know more about that subplot. Looking forward to more soon! ^^
Also, an idea I've had for ages that I think would work great for Trent: having him utter, "Parallel fifths and octaves!" as an oath. (Don't get it? Ask your Music Theory friends ;) )
Need some help for Android version. Every time i try to load a save it crashes. Its never loaded properly, but I was able to deal with it for a while and just skip to where I was at. now I'm further in and i have trouble remembering previous choices I made and it takes a while. Any solutions or ideas?
Hiya! Unfortunately with Android issues, the problem is almost always is the device and not the game. If a save file is corrupted, it's not possible to recover it.
To save time, you can go to Options -> Skip Unseen Text to quickly get back to where you were in the story. Should take a few minutes.
Don't worry too much about the choices. All choice combinations lead to Chester's route. If you want Darrell's route, you just either have to pick the edgy outfit, pre game with Cliff, or get wings with Darrell. Just one of those 3.
I'm relatively new to playing Visual Novels, and I have only played through the current cut-off of Darrell's Route so far, but I think this already has the potential to be my forever favorite one.
Eddy is a great protagonist, and I'm sure most people who play this can relate to some of his struggles, it makes you really want to root for him. Every character is likeable in their own ways, but Darrell became my favorite character the moment we met him in the story, and I can say his route is already more than I could have hoped for so far. (If only I waited for the next update to play, this cliff hanger is painful LOL)
To everyone involved in this VN's creation: I know it doesn't mean much from a stranger on the internet, but please, keep up the amazing work! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on your projects.
Not sure what you mean by "corny text". But I've gone through and made heavy edits to the story. I made a lot of adjustments that either condense information or just get rid of stuff that I personally don't find tasteful anymore.
Omg please tell me there is gonna be an album for this songs, i just hit show night and this is some of the BEST music i have heard along with all the jam sessions!
I appreciate that the writer(s) is/are adding so much diversity to the routes. I really do. It just left me feeling a little... uncomfortable? But that's fine, because it just means that that one isn't for me. And it's not to take away from the fact that they (along with the artists) made having an anxiety attack next to real. Legitimately got me panicking a little, heh!
Keep it up, though, guys. Can't wait for more shenanigans with Darrell and all the other options!
I completed it today! Ill say, I'm absolutely in love with all these characters. Moriah so far being my absolute favorite.
Although I'm not a huge fan of poly stuff personally the characters are just so enjoyable I can easily look past that, really looking forward to seeing how this pans out!
I just updated to the Win PC build 6 (0.6.4) and I had chosen a name when I started but everyone keeps referring to me as Eddy? They used to use the name I chose, so think it might be a coding error in the update.

AW I WANT MORE DARRELL 😭
WAIT BETA IS IN an actor THIS!!!?
I liked the new update, 10/10
Apesar do Darell agir como se fosse um privilégio sair com ele.
Ele pedindo para irem devagar, 5 minutos depois ele falando "you'r mine"
Wow, just... wow... I'm so glad I came back to this... I just now realized the new update for Darrell came out...

Trent's route has never been an option. Just Chester and Darrell at the moment. More characters will have routes in the future.

Just wondering what characters have routes in this game?
Only Darrell and Chester at the moment. Trent, Cliff, Dave, and Pat routes are planned for the future.
Ok thanks.

Stay Lifejacket!
Chester's route feels weird, it leggit feels like mc is starting to get groomed :S

As a BA in Music and a furry, I am legally obligated to check this one out.

I really hope to see more of Moriah, she’s definitely my favorite character lol. She’s so wholesome I love her
What is the difference between the two versions
The "content creator edition" censors porn scenes. If you want to see the regular porn scenes, download the standard version.
Oh ok ths
Will there ever be a gallery for scenes and character sprites?
It's on the to-do list.
Oh, okay. I didn't know sorry.
on some real shit Pat can have my babies
I love this game so much this vn gonna be one of fav and I really want to know Chester route is really end?or continue?
Chester's route will continue on Episode 8. We're currently working on Episode 7 right now.
I was rereading the vn again and i foud something wrong changed
Why did the corny text got removed? I Really found it nice and entertaining
It doesn't change my opinion of the vn it's still one of my favorites it just makes he think that the vn holds itself back a little
Not sure what you mean by "corny text". But I've gone through and made heavy edits to the story. I made a lot of adjustments that either condense information or just get rid of stuff that I personally don't find tasteful anymore.
You lot have created the perfect dream job for me. Awesome music and awesome characters. This is really amazing even if I'm very early in it
Omg please tell me there is gonna be an album for this songs, i just hit show night and this is some of the BEST music i have heard along with all the jam sessions!
Martini's songs: https://martinidog.bandcamp.com/album/chord-progressions
FAFO: https://rhythmbastard.bandcamp.com/track/f-a-f-o-w-bowserpuma

That's intentional it says it in dev log "build 6 errata"
