I just finished until the end of Chester's route (man, he's sus af, but I love him). And I gotta say, I like the feeling of this VN. I played a lot of VNs and only few of them, including this VN made me feel like I'm actually watching an organically progressing relationship between characters (by VN standards). There isn't much NSFW, which the VN greatly benefits from, it goes more focus to the characters' relationships without diving too deep into too much fanservice territory (But I don't mind more NSFW, hoped for more soon even, more the merrier after all~).
Music was great, Voice Acting was a welcome addition, maybe more sound effects to add more expressiveness (but that's just me). Love the artstyle and CGs so far.
Overall, I have high hopes for this VN and it's future, I am looking forward for the future builds, and see where it leads.
PS. Eddy is Hot. He is definitely a conventionally handsome dude and you can't convince me otherwise!
I felt kind of bad saying I wasn't excited for either route being worked on (in the survey), but I found Darrell/Trent super adorable and I don't want to make them not get together, and Chester is...originally I thought maybe their relationship was open or poly or something, but I'm not really getting that feeling so much anymore and it makes him extremely sketchy. So excited isn't the right word there...anxious perhaps? Yeah, Chester's route makes me anxious.
I love our MC though, and I'm sure I'll end up doing every route anyway just to see how he can persevere and grow. Hopefully a happy ending is in there somewhere.
Maybe Chester is a jerk, but I'm down for him so much!!,I also feel bad for Dave that hug is everything for me 😔. But who when his route got release it would be something interesting.
At first I did "Daren the lion" from the infamous D.A.R.E. program in the US. But my test readers got confused since his name was too close to my lion, Darrell. So I had to find another drug-fighting mascot 😅
Hey Bowser this update was awesome I still wish I could be a part of it but know you probably have everyone casted already anyway keep up the good work
damn, It's kind of sad that the builds takes so long to be ready, I'm not complaining, but it's because I love this VN so much! I swear, im not exaggerating not even a little when I say that it's literally one of the best VNs I've ever seen imo!
I have to say, when I tried Darrel's route I got SO MUCH surprised by this ""ending""! I had no idea that things with him would happen so quickly, and I also had no idea that everything that he made was because he was interested in us all the time! I don't know how to say it, but it's such an incredible thing that Eddy can finally have someone to love and be loved back, by such an amazing person! I genuinely feel extremely happy for him because of this!! I REALLY hope the same happens on Chester's route (if he isn't an idiot like some things make him seem to be), I really wish not, he is so handsome! Hopefully whatever thing he's doing is for a good reason, and hopefully its something that won't hurt anyone.
Maybe Chester is an asshole. But maybe he is secretly (forced into) working as a prostetue or "personal trainer" to make extra money to keep his shop alive.
I want to start with how much I enjoyed reading this VN. The characters are all interesting, and stand apart. And, though there is very little plot yet, the story seems like it's going to interesting places. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens.
I had a question about release schedule. Please know none of this is negative criticism, but observation/feedback. I understand a lot of work goes into making these. But I have concerns stemming from the very real norm of VNs with very long release schedules being abandoned.
With that, from what I see, you're releasing a build approximately every 5-6 months. With about 18 moths of history, we're only just at the end of what I would consider the prologue (the story prior to route choices). Are there any plans to increase the release schedule at all?
I will be honest that this is also a factor in my decision to support on Patreon.
I currently have no plans to increase the frequency of our release schedule. Chord Progressions is (regrettably) not my full time job. If there ever comes a time when I could make it my full time job, I would release updates much more frequently. After polling my current patrons, they prefer our team to release full and satisfying builds, so that lends itself to 20-30k word updates. As of now, 2-4 new builds a year is about the rate we can achieve at this time.
If it helps, development never really stops. Build 5 is already underway in the writing and character design phase. It's a slow but steady process.
It does! Thank you for the response. I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed, only because I really enjoyed what I've read so far and want more, lol. I very much look forward to reading :)
Are there any romance options in this visual novel? So far the MC seems so obsessed with Chester cheating on Dave that he doesn't seem to care about anything else. The 3 people I thought we're going to be potential boyfriends (Darrell, Cliff and Trent) are off doing their own thing, with Darrell now wanting to hook up with Trent.
I was actually thinking about that too if you look at the perspective even if chester DOES cheat on Dave. Mc can't really say nothing about that because chester would just fire him at that point,so kinda weird and interesting plot
Ok that's cool. Also looking forward to Trent route coming out. You made him so socially awkward that he's adorable and I want to learn more about him.
Man, I was really hoping that Trent would be a love interest. Hopefully that is still possible. And why do I feel like they were going to say the name was Amadeus?
Trent will be a romance option eventually, along with Pat, Dave, and Cliff. Bowser is just focusing on finishing Chester and Darrell's routes before beginning any other ones.
Spoilers / heavy theory about Chester (and Dave) (and it's a long one)
So, let's recap what Eddy knows about Chester so far regarding his little investigation.
- Day 1 -
Chester has a "no dating policy" for his employees even outside of work because of some recent incidents
When both he and Dave opens and closes, Chester somtimes takes long breaks in the middle of the day spending most of that time at the gym
- Day 2 -
The very next day the same thing happens, here's the convo :
Dave "You'll be out for a couple hours again today, love?"
Chester "Yup, ....... from 1pm to 4pm"
Dave "Oh? Extra hour? Is it full-body day?"
Chester "Something like that" while winking
Dave has a smirk spread on his face ; Maybe they speak in a coded language only they understand ?
When Chester and Eddy talk about going to the gym, showers came up ; they are private stalls. Chester says this : "Gang showers can certainly be awkward. You don't want to give anyone the wrong idea. Plus i don't do free shows" and gives a wink and a grin to Eddy. Eddy gets to the conclusion that Chester knows he's attracted to him (witch might be true), but i think Chester actually means what he said about the 'I don't do free shows" thing
- Day 3 -
Not directly related to Chester but Dave gets reaaaaly physically close to Eddy during the morning pastry time
When Chester bring Eddy to the gym they talk about the event with Dave and Chester says : "I promise i'll be more mindful of your limits. I'm not trying to scare you away on your first week"
At the gym Eddy takes a first look at Chester's chest and body
Eddy discovered a profile on Kroozer with "potentially" Chester's torso cuz it looks similar to what he remembers seeing at the gym erlier in the day. Profile says DL witch means downlow or discreet. Right now Eddy is assuming Chester is looking for descreet hook-ups behind Dave's back.
- Day 4 -
Profile's gone !!! Means Eddy might have been blocked !
- Day 5 -
Chester canceled his "lesson" with his "student" when Dave asked him. Again, maybe a coded language between the two ?
Eddy makes a burner profile on Kroozer
At the bar when Eddy sees Chester he belive even more that Chester might be cheating on Dave, that's when he recaps what he discovered
He finds the profile again at the bar and takes a screenshot
Corey know about Chester's lessons and mentioned that he wasn't able to take as many as he usually do. (Chester says it's beginner guitar lessons, and that it's one of his favorite things)
Chester and Corey seem to be very close, but it seems platonic even with the teasing
Eddy notices how much Chester spent on those drinks, and it was A LOT
- Day 6 -
Dave says that Carey and Chester met AFTER they were already married (15 years of marriage as April said earlier in the day). They hired him 10 years ago. Dave wasn't really involved in the buisness plan of Corey and Chester for the Lounge 2 years ago
Dave asked Eddy if he's seen Chester at the Lounge yesterday, he doesn't elaborate on this but has a pensive look on his face
Chester's interrupted by his phone for the 3rd time for his canceled lesson with "this guy's son" as he says, but when Eddy answers the phone in Chester's office it turns out that the guy doesn't have a son and used the words "appointment" and that he made a downpayment cuz it was for him, not for his "son"
Skixxy says Chester has good taste and it's why he keeps Eddy around. Says he has a thing for big boys and he likes keeping them around for some reason
Chester says to Eddy "But if you're more confortable calling me "sir", then by all means" with emphasis on the "sir"
Chester compliments Eddy for his looks, says it's turning enough of heads as it is
Chester gets reeeeeal sneaky when handling the money to pay for the drinks. Says to Eddy not to worry about it, but when Eddy insists he gets really intense, putting his paw on Eddy's shoulder with a tight grip and a frightening look on his face, TELLING him not to worry about it, not asking it. (so much for not scaring Eddy away in the first week...)
So, with all that in mind i have a theory (or two) regarding Chester.
1 - We know that he and Dave have 15 years of marriage already, them being in their late 30 must mean they married as young adults, so an early marriage that lasts as long, i'm guessing they have a good relationship and communicate a lot
2 - With them being married for so long, it could also mean that someone (Chester in that case) might be unfaithful and hides it very well, witch could explain the "DL (downlow)" mention in his alleged Kroozer profile that Eddy found
3 - There are moments where Chester and Dave seem to speak with some sort of coded language. On day 2 about "full body day" and on day 5 about his "lesson". Corey know for those "lessons" as well (same day). I'm guessing they're talking like that because it's their personnal life and they don't really want their staff to know what they do outside of work (witch is totally normal), but at least they're communicating about it. And even with all that we don't know what all of this is really about.
4 - With that in mind we can also assume that the full-body day means something more spicy, and that those lessons are not really lessons about guitar. The conversation Eddy had with the "client" or "student" on day 6 lead me to think of something. What if those lessons were actually Chester being an escort or something like that ? The guy made a downpayment for an appointment, and if the Kroozer profile really belongs to Chester, it could mean he uses it as some sort of side buisness as a sex worker. I say this because of what he said to Eddy on day 2 about him "not doing free shows"... But that's stretching the idea veeeeery far since we don't have all the pieces of information, only bits here and there.
5 - I don't really know what to say about Chester apparently keeping Eddy around because he likes big boys like his husband. He seems to genuinely think Eddy is a good employee in a professional way. But then again, Chester spending so much on drinks for someone he knows since 5-6 days seems a bit uncalled for, unless he reaaaly likes Eddy that much. Dave loves to hug people, but him getting physicaly close to Eddy in day 3 doesn't seem to be something you do with all your employees even tho it seemed natural for Dave so i don't really know what to think of that.
6 - The way Chester spoke and acted towards Eddy at the end of day 6 kinda surprised me. We never saw him act like that before. Was it stress ? Too much excitement after a succesfull concert ? Was it him wanting to treat Eddy so much that he went overboard and got too far ? Or was it something else....? I guess we'll see about that behavior later in his route.
So to conclude and make it a short version,
- Chester is cheating on Dave, covering it with "extra hour of workout" and "guitar lessons with students" but actually he has some private side buisness and discreet sexy time with other men
OR
- He's not cheating and his workouts and lessons are genuine and it's a big missunderstanding from Eddy
OR
- Chester and Dave actually are in an open marriage/relationship, and the profile is actually a shared one between the two of them even tho it's only Chester's chest on the profile pic, and they manage the "extra workout" and "lessons" with the profile TOGETHER.
OR
- I got it all wrong and it's something else entirely lol
Either way that's my take on Chester's route so far and i'm excited for the next updates, whether it's for Darrel or Chester.
Imma jus say it... I think MC is hottest of them all! I absolutely love all the neat programming and sprites included here. I haven't seen some of these options such as the key words and voicing in any of the VNs I've read. And I really love that the MC's character wok up is so well thought out (and actually handsome instead of derpy looking lol). It's also quite nice to have a break from the sheer heartbreak and emotional rollercoasters of dealing w/ NPC deaths in other VNs. I'm completely captivated by this light-hearted story, and Can't wait for more! Keep up the great work guys, ya'll are amazing!! 😁
Hi! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do. Some Android devices are prone to crashing while others aren't. It is a device issue and not an issue with the way the game's developed.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Thank you for playing 💖
I just started playing this a couple of days ago and now I just want more content to that lion Darrell, but let's be patient and wait for the update to come :D
i was just an hour through the story well the mc kinda does represent how i felt by time well i do felt sad and no one cared about me and not just that welll my body shape is kinda chubby so yea i was thinking no one likes me cause that im chubby or somewhat and more ... meh
but all in all the story have been very good and i liked it now im going to continue reading it
Currently, the Content Creator edition is registering to the itch.io client as an "update" as opposed to a separate install, and would overwrite the base version. I don't think this is the intended functionality?
The content creator version is an alternative version of 0.3.4. It's only slightly different, and I want to preserve any saves anyone had made. I do want it to override the base version for anyone who wants to download it.
The regular version of 0.3.4 is still available for everyone else.
That's... not the point. I have to manually check for updates because the system always thinks there's an update. And less annoyingly, but still inconveniently, I need to right click to select Launch instead of just clicking to Update. It's also not possible to have both versions installed simultaneously, which doesn't affect me, but may affect some people.
Maybe you don't use the client so you don't understand what I'm talking about? You've made it extremely inconvenient for client users to use anything except the Content Creator version.
And for the players who don't use the client, they would need to download the versions separately regardless of which they want to use, so there would be no override under any circumstances.
If you want Content Creator to override the base version while still being an option, it seems much more reasonable to simply add it as a toggle and have only one version.
I've reuploaded the standard version of 0.3.4 so it will (hopefully) be listed as the latest. I don't use the itch client and don't know many people who do, so I apologize for the inconvenience.
Yep, that worked. I did have to uninstall and reinstall since my old installation was now completely defunct, but it now registers them as separate downloads.
BTW, the problem wasn't that 3.4 wasn't registering as the latest version, but that Content Creator was registering as an update from 3.4 rather than being a separate entity. But that's fixed now.
Gosh, why does Chester have to be so damn handsome~? 😍 I love the direction the story is taking, and with how immersive the writing is, I easily become lost while reading 😌
I love the MC more than any of the supposed love interests, he's so soft and cuddly but hot and charming at the same time, relatable to a sense and very realistic portrayal of internal conflict

I just finished until the end of Chester's route (man, he's sus af, but I love him). And I gotta say, I like the feeling of this VN. I played a lot of VNs and only few of them, including this VN made me feel like I'm actually watching an organically progressing relationship between characters (by VN standards). There isn't much NSFW, which the VN greatly benefits from, it goes more focus to the characters' relationships without diving too deep into too much fanservice territory (But I don't mind more NSFW, hoped for more soon even, more the merrier after all~).
Music was great, Voice Acting was a welcome addition, maybe more sound effects to add more expressiveness (but that's just me). Love the artstyle and CGs so far.
Overall, I have high hopes for this VN and it's future, I am looking forward for the future builds, and see where it leads.
PS. Eddy is Hot. He is definitely a conventionally handsome dude and you can't convince me otherwise!
Come on!
I felt kind of bad saying I wasn't excited for either route being worked on (in the survey), but I found Darrell/Trent super adorable and I don't want to make them not get together, and Chester is...originally I thought maybe their relationship was open or poly or something, but I'm not really getting that feeling so much anymore and it makes him extremely sketchy.

love the soundtrack on the part of the show, where can i download it?
A lot of the songs (not all) are on sound cloud! https://martinidog.bandcamp.com/album/chord-progressions
https://rhythmbastard.bandcamp.com/track/f-a-f-o-w-bowserpuma
what is the difference between the normal version and the creator content version? what does it add??
It's explained here https://chordprogressions.itch.io/chord-progressions/devlog/693744/content-creat...
Maybe Chester is a jerk, but I'm down for him so much!!,I also feel bad for Dave that hug is everything for me 😔. But who when his route got release it would be something interesting.
The animation and interactivity are so good. Also the voice acting is the icing on the cake.
I am literally shaking violently, waiting for build 5. but overall. DAVE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER. He's such an innocent soul. 5 stars
Harold the drug fighting giraffe? wait what?!? didn't think I'd ever hear of that character again. not since primary school 🤣
At first I did "Daren the lion" from the infamous D.A.R.E. program in the US. But my test readers got confused since his name was too close to my lion, Darrell. So I had to find another drug-fighting mascot 😅
really fun
kind of wish there was more nsfw though haha
finally caught up after starting awhile ago and Build 4 being added midway through my reading, and yall are doing a wonderful job!
Love the writing and characters especially!
Hey Bowser this update was awesome I still wish I could be a part of it but know you probably have everyone casted already anyway keep up the good work
(Spoiler Alert)
damn, It's kind of sad that the builds takes so long to be ready, I'm not complaining, but it's because I love this VN so much! I swear, im not exaggerating not even a little when I say that it's literally one of the best VNs I've ever seen imo!

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me. The VN crashes every so often on Android for me.
I have a save where everyone meets up to hit up downtown but crashes on loading. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do. Some Android devices are prone to crashing while others aren't. It is a device issue and not an issue with the way the game's developed.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Thank you for playing 💖
Aw 😥 ok. I'm going to keep trying though. 😃😃
I'm loving pat so much, he is so handsome.
would love to see a scene involving his feet though, I know I'm weird for saying that but I'm just being honest
real
Literally only vn where I wish that we could date mc bro is handsome and likeable then the whole cast of characters that we could date ❤️
Hey Bowser I know you're busy and everything I just have Few questions I want to ask you I tried Two contact you on Discord
Are you planning on adding a sfw mode for like streaming and stuff?
Already did! Check here: https://chordprogressions.itch.io/chord-progressions/devlog/649300/content-creat...
I just started playing this a couple of days ago and now I just want more content to that lion Darrell, but let's be patient and wait for the update to come :D
any chance of Cliff speaking Brazilian Portuguese? or Offering a Capirinha to the MC? As a brazilian I would love that (amazing project btw)
I definitely plan on Cliff's heritage being a big part of his character. He can speak a little Portuguese!
i was just an hour through the story well the mc kinda does represent how i felt by time well i do felt sad and no one cared about me and not just that welll my body shape is kinda chubby so yea i was thinking no one likes me cause that im chubby or somewhat and more ... meh
but all in all the story have been very good and i liked it now im going to continue reading it
Loving the project so far! I must say MC def my favorite sprite, hes perfection <3 Looking forward to where this goes!
Currently, the Content Creator edition is registering to the itch.io client as an "update" as opposed to a separate install, and would overwrite the base version. I don't think this is the intended functionality?
The content creator version is an alternative version of 0.3.4. It's only slightly different, and I want to preserve any saves anyone had made. I do want it to override the base version for anyone who wants to download it.
The regular version of 0.3.4 is still available for everyone else.
That's... not the point. I have to manually check for updates because the system always thinks there's an update. And less annoyingly, but still inconveniently, I need to right click to select Launch instead of just clicking to Update. It's also not possible to have both versions installed simultaneously, which doesn't affect me, but may affect some people.
Maybe you don't use the client so you don't understand what I'm talking about? You've made it extremely inconvenient for client users to use anything except the Content Creator version.
And for the players who don't use the client, they would need to download the versions separately regardless of which they want to use, so there would be no override under any circumstances.
If you want Content Creator to override the base version while still being an option, it seems much more reasonable to simply add it as a toggle and have only one version.
I've reuploaded the standard version of 0.3.4 so it will (hopefully) be listed as the latest. I don't use the itch client and don't know many people who do, so I apologize for the inconvenience.
Yep, that worked. I did have to uninstall and reinstall since my old installation was now completely defunct, but it now registers them as separate downloads.
BTW, the problem wasn't that 3.4 wasn't registering as the latest version, but that Content Creator was registering as an update from 3.4 rather than being a separate entity. But that's fixed now.
Great! Happy that worked. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
I need Dave.
Are there any completed routes?
Currently there are not.
How many routes are there?
Right now, there are only 2. A total of 6 are planned.
When is the next public update?
Aiming for January 2024
yeah that weirds me a bit too but guess we'll see what the route will actually be about eventually
Have you guys heard of open relationships?
ok im actually so dumb thanks for enlightening me (I literally forgot it could be that, no sarcasm 😭)
If I have to use chester to get to Dave damn it I will do it.
Gosh, why does Chester have to be so damn handsome~? 😍 I love the direction the story is taking, and with how immersive the writing is, I easily become lost while reading 😌
Great update! Darrell is just too sweet :) him and Dave are definitely my favorites I can't break away from the sweet big guys.
I love the MC more than any of the supposed love interests, he's so soft and cuddly but hot and charming at the same time, relatable to a sense and very realistic portrayal of internal conflict
a dash of horny is a bonus for me :)
At least one person on the dev team is Canadian, I can just feel it.
Dead giveaway with the "yeah, no" mannerism explanation. Spot on accurate too.Driving trucks being a main hobby in Fairview as well, painfully accurate. I almost feel called out
Sweats
You mean to tell me you've been Canadian this whole time??? 😾😾😾
It was on a need-to-know basis
