I just finished reading through build 2, and I really enjoyed it! The way the writing is balanced between comedy, horny, and kinda depressing is really impressive to me. Any time I tried to write anything featuring those three things, I always accidentally leaned WAY too far in a certain direction and lost the others. I haven't noticed that at all with Chord Progressions. One thing I absolutely love about the VN as a whole, but especially with this update is that the characters actually have constructive conversations. I notice quite frequently that issues get swept under the rug in other stories, but not here. The conversation Eddy and Moriah have at the end of the build was really cathartic for me to read. I also love Pat's sagely advice. :3
Speaking on the depressing stuff, it's crazy just how similar I am to Eddy. Like beat for beat, similarities. We have pretty much the same personality and trauma. While Eddy very much can stand on his own as a distinct character, I am also able to really easily put myself in his shoes. Reading this update honestly gave me some stuff I should probably talk about with my therapist.
I also wanted to quickly comment on the google form that y'all do at the end of the builds. If possible, I think having an extended response question on it might be a good idea. There are things in the update I would love to give feedback on, but I don't want to spoil stuff for new readers here.
Sorry for the lengthy comment. I tend to get fired up after reading stories that I really enjoy, and I just keep writing. Once again, I absolutely loved this build, and I am very excited for more!
I'm super excited for the new update! Also I'm noticing some funky ui on my phone. It looks like the body text and name ui appears too high on the screen. I've tried reinstalling and restarting my device, but it has persisted. It's not too big of a deal, but I figured I should report it just so y'all are aware.
The game page looks really nice now can't wait to see what you have planned for routes I know there's another update before that but really excited nonetheless
Hi! This bug hasn't shown up for anyone else and doesn't appear in any desktop versions of the game.
I believe the issue is with your phone and/or how the game is installed. I think the best thing to do would be to uninstall and reinstall. Or just continue forward until the background changes again. There aren't too many lines of dialogue between this moment and the next BG change.
I think uninstalling and reinstalling is your only option. This is a strange error that no one else has experienced. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll need to play the game on another device.
1.3 is available for download for Mac, PC, and Android. This version will work for you. Just replying to your comment so it'll give you a notification.

Such an amazing first build that's totally worth the read! Maybe I'm a simp for awkward guys, but Trent's already got me hooked. Can't wait to see where the story and updates go!
I absolutely love this game it is so enjoyable there are a few thing i wish too know like is Dave and Chester are in an open relationship or closed because those two are married to each other but also datable characters so it been on my mind. If the answer is a plot in future builds then i can wait until it gets release.
the story is great and interesting, some part of it feels relatable. Well, Idk if it's just me but I feel like dating me when the MC is looking at the mirror or something.. oh goodness! the mc is sooo cute! a very hugable husbando <3
Brazil mentioned POG anyway, good stuff, well done dude this vn is already one of my favorites (i might have some bias because brazil moment but still i really liked it)
SPOILER ALERT! Don't read before reaching the end of build 1!
So, if that account we found on Kroozr really belongs to Chester and he made it so he could have some sexytime behind Dave's back, i'm gonna be pissed at him. He may be hot and i may have drooled a bit watching him in just his jockstrap and wouldn't mind seeing him "au naturel", but that doesn't give him the rights to cheat on Dave.
But we'll have to wait for future builds to know the truth.
The voice lines kind of surprised me since my volume was up and suddenly a lot of words were said that shouldn't be said aloud, luckily I was alone lol. But I think the way you've implemented them is good. Not every line, but some key ones. It adds charm.
I'm currently uploading a fixed version of the novel and it's currently uploading and taking a very long time to do so. It should be up within the hour. Sorry for the wait!
I figured it was something like that. Don't worry, if it needed a fix it needed a fix lol. Thanks for updating it so quickly actually. I've waited all week to play I can wait a while longer. Thank you.
This may sound stupid of me but where is the download link to it? Looked and nowhere it can be found for me on my end. No clue if it's an error or not ^^;
Just finished build 1.1 and I have to say: I am thoroughly impressed with the start of ChoPro. I only have a few complaints (more so errors I noticed within the build, both of which I think can be easily fixed) about the build:
There were two points within the novel where voice acting suddenly played (right before Eddy & April left to go to work & soon after they arrived outside of work), the dialogue played during the end of the build in its correct location though.
I couldn't get the bathroom text at the very beginning, it just caused an error in RenPy every time I clicked on it.
That being said, the positives hugely outweighed the cons. I really enjoyed the overall presentation, especially the logo for the VN and the text box as well; both remind me of a 70's-esque funk band, which warms my hard whether an intentional design choice or otherwise. Also to note, I really enjoyed the CG's that were present thus far, I'd probably say my favorite so far is the NSFW's (the masturbation scene) CG, not just for the sole reason of it being erotic, but more so that I really loved the lighting of the piece and it felt very cohesive and complimentary to the text being presented. Other than that, I really enjoy all of the cast so far and I'm awaiting to see what more will unfold in later builds
I would love to read a rating, but I think I'll put it on hold until future builds so I have more things to go off to give it a definitive rating. That being said, keep up the wonderful work and I'm thoroughly excited for more content in the coming future!
P.S. Love Eddy's design, personal preferences most of all but I think it's very lovely, not to say the other cast members aren't designed well, quite the contrary! They are all equally lovely designs.
Hi! Thank you so much for pointing out where the voice lines didn't sync with the text. I mislabeled a couple files while I was editing! I also fixed the bathroom bug.
No problem at all! It was quite the nice introductory build for the VN and I'm looking forward for future builds, least I could do is point out a few simple and easily fixable errors early on so the development can continue running smoothly!
I've got a question about your menu, like the save and load screen and options screen, I've seen many other types of games with this same type of screen and was wondering if you use a certain system or app to make this game?

Oh no! I never went back and fixed it. Thanks for bringing that up. I'll upload a hot fix for Android.
Android fix is up. Had to revert to ugly UI (for now).
hello, I want to ask you one question tell me if there will be a new public update today if you can give an answer please
probably some time later today
Public update will be coming out tonight! (Eastern US standard time)
The new itch page is amazing, credit to that <3
Omg ssooo exciteeeedd just read through build 1 again and it's amazing just like last time I read it can't wait for build 2
The game page looks really nice now can't wait to see what you have planned for routes I know there's another update before that but really excited nonetheless
Thank you! Glad you like the redesign :>
you're welcome Bowser I wish I could be a part of your visual novel in some way shape or form
Happy Birthday to Dave!
Can't wait for the next update
I like the VN so far! Coming from an autistic person, you guys nailed it when it came to the rep with Trent!
The amount of vines in this game is immaculate
Bruh this game ligit took me to a damn YouTube short
Bro wtfIf it turns out to be Chester on that profile, I'm gonna be so mad.
OBJECTION!
But if they have an open relationship, why would that mean he can invite strange men into his house?
Urk...!
HOLD IT!
I'm sorry, but...
...there's a contradiction in your testimony!
You say Dave would be okay with Chester inviting men into his house. But...
what if it was, say, the main character who he invited over?
Glad y'all are having fun, in this thread 😌. I won't confirm or deny anything though~ 😇
!!!
I--
But--!
Looking back on this, this had to have been the most fun I've ever had in a comment thread.
bro can yall fix this bug the background is not appearing

bro still now working XD
i do what you say and its not working

I hope you can fix this bug
I hate to say this, but...
"Kroozr" sounds like a vehicle used by... whatever the Orks would be called in BattleAxe 50k.
i dont think ive ever related to an MC this much ever in my life, really loving this VN though! Keep it up :)
0.1.4.1 is up and is a patched version. Sorry to everyone who got an unplayable copy of the game 🙏
Same
1.3 is available for download for Mac, PC, and Android. This version will work for you. Just replying to your comment so it'll give you a notification.

Congratulaton Bowser Puma, i'm hooked !
I just played through the first day. Some of the parts hit a little too close to home. Great writing.
When Cliff said he was a capybara i instantly thought of this video, and i have been calling him coconut doggy all the time.
Noooo the video gone how dare YouTube
This one
The voice lines kind of surprised me since my volume was up and suddenly a lot of words were said that shouldn't be said aloud, luckily I was alone lol. But I think the way you've implemented them is good. Not every line, but some key ones. It adds charm.
The Main Character is so handsome I can't believe he believes that he isn't handsome, I would take him anyday
I can relate honestly. I didn't start seeing myself that way until I was 27 and it took a lot of unlearning to get there.
props to you!
This great furry visual novel I love it amazing work
Thank you my friend! Really looking forward to it!
Hi! I'm making this post at 7:05 PM EST on 11/11

I've waited all week to play I can wait a while longer. Thank you.
PC and Android versions are up! I'll get to Mac and Linux later tonight. Apologies for the wait!
No problem and thank you :3
UPDATE: All versions of Build 1 are up and functional. Enjoy!
Seems unavailable at the moment. Maybe emergency fixes? The link isn't there if it's supposed to be though.
Hi! PC and Android versions are up!
This may sound stupid of me but where is the download link to it? Looked and nowhere it can be found for me on my end. No clue if it's an error or not ^^;
Hi! PC and Android versions are up!
Is it normal that I can't download it?
Happened for me as well too sadly
Hi! PC and Android versions are up!
It is a bit jarring hearing Beta's voice out of a VN character after watching his videos for a while.
I did not expect anything to be voiced in this game and it kinda startled me

Renpy is the engine used to make this game. You'll also see Renpy used for lots of other visual novels.
