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
Ok I gotta know, I feel like it's gonna be coincidence but I hear one thing in the taco place song... (and brings me some PTSD of another game) buuuuuut it has the same pattern as "Clown Song" from Your turn to die... I can't unhear it!
Hey, regarding your issues with playtesting the android version. Have you tried finding a Emulator? I am studying to do web programming so I've done some research myself and found out that emulators are regularly used by non-browser programmers.
I might be completly in the wrong here...buuuut are you or anyone in the devteam a pantera fan or atleast into metal. Because i mean Darrel as in Dimebag Darrel the guitarist from pantera/damageplan? Cliff as in cliff Burton the old bassist for metallica "rip cliff" etc. I might be super wrong but I have a sneaking suspicion xD
That'd be cute! But their names are just names. Their personalities and visual designs didn't take any inspiration from the real life people they're named after.
I had some buried issues during my childhood and the breakdown events reminded me of some things that happened to me. One breakdown I had was in the school cafeteria but had no one to help me. This really tugged at the heart strings and on various points hit hard. Keep up the great work.
Came here for slice of life vibes and objectifying hot guys, stayed for the realistic depiction of a small town queer trying to navigate life in the city and grappling with the traumas built up as we have more freedoms to be ourselves
Literally have too much to say, I can't begin to gush about this vn enough. The conversation that Moriah and Eddy have made me think of many of a similar caliber I've had with my friends, they're both just like me frfr. But in all seriousness, reading a nice, realistic depiction of the queer experience is just... really nice. I honestly cried when I saw the in memoriam at the end of the build message
The weird dream about Dave, is it only one that is in the current build or is the a way to have the dream involving the other characters (example cliff, chester, pat, trent).
I felt that was weird honestly I know routes don't come tell the next build but I felt you could change the dream also random tangent but I wanted to message you on Discord but of course I had to take up break 4 that day sadly and when I opened Discord again the message box disappeared
Quick question, how do I play these games on iPhone? Sorry this isn’t entirely specific to this game but I want to try this one and some others out but can’t open the iOS app files or dmg files and can’t find a fix that doesn’t need a computer (my computer is dead at the moment). Any help would be super appreciated:3
Hi! Chord Progressions currently does not have a build compatible with iOS. At this time, the game is only playable for PC, Mac, Linux, and Android devices. Sorry :(.
I would love to have Chord Progressions available for iPhone, but Apple makes it very difficult for NSFW game developers to create for their platform.
If you want to play a visual novel on iOS, Sileo recently just released an iOS compatible build! https://xevvy.itch.io/sileo
thanks I must have misread for this game. I’ve been browsing so many today, but I’ve settled for a couple browser capable ones so far (tho mostly text no art ;-; ).. I appreciate the tip on Sileo, though so far I’m having trouble with games supposedly for iOS, but they must be mainly for on proper computers not the iPhone by itself.
hey I had a few questions I wanted to ask on your Twitter but my account decided to glitch out Puma anyway I was wondering if there was anyway I could do some voice over I mean I know you probably have everyone casted but I just thought I'd ask it couldn't hurt right
Also I really hope you do roots for everyone you had put in the survey for t h e recent update I am supposedly love Chester and Dave and the rest are in random order from there but I know you may not be able to get on to doing all of them it's just a hope
This is probably the only VN where the MC is one of my favorite characters, he is just too cute and not: annoying, boring, rude, devoid of any personality or any of the combinations, though I am a little surprised he is a fox and not a puma.
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!

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
Ok I gotta know, I feel like it's gonna be coincidence but I hear one thing in the taco place song... (and brings me some PTSD of another game) buuuuuut it has the same pattern as "Clown Song" from Your turn to die... I can't unhear it!
I was hearing the exact same thing and I couldnt focus on the scene because it was just in my ear lmaooo
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Hey, regarding your issues with playtesting the android version. Have you tried finding a Emulator? I am studying to do web programming so I've done some research myself and found out that emulators are regularly used by non-browser programmers.
You don't know how relieving it was to see that someone knew how to draw instruments properly especially a saxophone, this game is amazing!
(I'm a music major)
Glad you're enjoying it!
Great writing, glad I stumbled across this!
Thank you! Glad you did, too :>
I might be completly in the wrong here...buuuut are you or anyone in the devteam a pantera fan or atleast into metal. Because i mean Darrel as in Dimebag Darrel the guitarist from pantera/damageplan? Cliff as in cliff Burton the old bassist for metallica "rip cliff" etc. I might be super wrong but I have a sneaking suspicion xD
You're right on the money ;3
Hell yea man ! Tbh darrel just need that purple beard and a blacktooth in his hand and he be looking like dimebag almost.
That'd be cute! But their names are just names. Their personalities and visual designs didn't take any inspiration from the real life people they're named after.
I had some buried issues during my childhood and the breakdown events reminded me of some things that happened to me. One breakdown I had was in the school cafeteria but had no one to help me. This really tugged at the heart strings and on various points hit hard. Keep up the great work.

damn, this a great review
The weird dream about Dave, is it only one that is in the current build or is the a way to have the dream involving the other characters (example cliff, chester, pat, trent).
The Dave dream happens regardless of any choices you make. Hope that helps :3

Must hug cute Fox! He really needs all the hugs!
This is probably the only VN where the MC is one of my favorite characters, he is just too cute and not: annoying, boring, rude, devoid of any personality or any of the combinations, though I am a little surprised he is a fox and not a puma.
Glad you like him! I decided to not make him a puma because I felt like that would be too much of a self-insert 😅
My god this game is funny. Amazing how it balances humor and straight up depression (and all that shit) so well
ill never forget Eddy' chanting for April to "FALL FALL FALL" lol 💀
Thanks for the kind words 💖

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 🙏
