This game is awesome, I like how everyone is is a mystery 😁😁💕. I hope that one day, that I can play the real game the demo was perfect I'm so inspired to keep playing it.
After playing this game (and getting kinda tired from aknowledging myself with megaten series) i got seriously interested in MH, but when i asked some of my mh-playing friends how i should get myself aknowledged with it, opinions were direct opposites of each other. One of them advised me to skip old-gens and get myself mhr, while the other one advised to play at least one game from each generation. So i hoped the root of my interest would also be my tiebreaker. Could you tell me your opinions, please? :s
Monster hunter is a large series. If anything, best game to welcome new players would be Monster Hunter World, since it is meant to be welcoming newer players. Monster hunter rise too but the controls might be too complicated for newcomers.
You dont really need to play the old gen since they are there as fun games with nostalgia like pokemon. And you dont need to know anything about the old gen since every new game is a new story, new hunter, and a new set of monsters with the occasional returning ones.
And dont worry too much about others opinions on games per generation. Just have fun with the new ones since that is how games are suppose to be. :)
Oh don't worry about the comparison. What I am saying is that whenever you start a monster hunter game, its always a new experience. And I am not saying skipping is bad. Always start with one thing, then if you like it, you can play the previous ones too.
Though I do warn you, all monster hunter games are at least about 100 hours worth of gameplay. That's why I don't recommend playing older games to beginners or new to the franchise. But regardless, I hope you enjoy your time playing Monster Hunter :D
Wow, that's wholesome. Can't help but think how nice it'd be if other renpy vn devs would read through it and remember how attention to details looks like (of course, i'd never blame them if it's simply too much work to be done, gamedev and all that). Interface, gallery, journal and bebebese voicing are really helping to enjoy a game. There's probably just that one minor thing i disliked…

You see, i like to read through renpy-made vn at ~20% text speed, it's just comfortable, but yawning and noises like that are really slow to appear on screen, so i'd suggest to replace it with something like "ya-a-a-a-a-a-awn" and "m-m-m-m-f" respectively, so it looks better with slower speed.
Oh, i remembered another thing. Since it's a fangame, it can't be sold, but did you know that optional itch.io payment counts as purchase of the game? Because if i recall correctly, if you download game for free, you do not become an owner of it and you will have to buy game, if it ever stops being free. But if you chose optional payment, you will become owner of the game and will be able to download the content you paid for anytime. Is there no problems with that?
Thank you for trying out what we have so far! I am not sure if we will be removing the prolonged text but it won't be as prominent in later days :)
As for your concerns about the payment, it is labeled as donation from the back end. We are not selling this game and we are not asking anyone to buy this game at all. It is just that the system itch uses to collect donations is the same as collecting payments.
Our game will always be free and we will never charge anyone to play the game as it is not actually our concept (it is on Capcom). We kept the donation option on since we are curious if people will actually donate since we did not really have high hopes at first. People can always skip the payment anytime and just proceed to download. If it ever does become an issue in the future with other players, we can remove the donation option here on itch and have it somewhere else.
Some monsters in the MH Universe do have tails, but in my view, giving them one might be a bit too much and close to what we are trying to achieve in terms of writing. Maybe in the future, depending on what happens. Thank you still for trying it out!
This might be a bit of spoilery question but... will the protagonist part ways with his love interest in the end of the story? I just really hate parting endings, yet judging by a game description he had left the village while leaving his journal behind (and his husbando as well, it seems...)
You are quite correct on revealing anything for the story might be spoilery. The story has already been written down so to avoid anything bad, I'll just say.... depends on your choices ;)
Is there any way to choose to go with joseph on day 4, or is that not an option as i cant seem to find it. enjoying this so far looking forward to more :)
Glad you're enjoying! This game will feature days where you can choose to hang out with other characters. Some days will have all of them available but some of them will be too busy to be available.
Hi! Please try clicking the text Confirm rather than the black box. The next update will have this box smaller for easier understanding. Thanks for letting us know!
As of now, we don't have a Patreon or Ko-Fi for HopKeeper. You can support us by donating here on itch.io but you can also share our project on twitter @HopKeeper. Thank you again for supporting our game!
Unfortunately, there might not be routes available for them. Depending on the feedback/requests, we might consider but as of now, they will only be considered as supporting characters.
Thanks for checking us out! And to answer your question, it is the Monster Hunter franchise, at least putting it simply. But also other early VN games like Morenatsu, Lagoon Lounge, etc!
Glad you enjoyed what we have so far! It will be a while before the next major update since we are still making sure everything is just right, which includes Jin!
This games is so awesome, and love the charcters so far, especially koku, but was wonder something what position is the mc in a relationship if u know what i mean
As of now, there is no 18+ scenes in particular. But the flag is for future updates, which will include then and this game does feature adult themes and topics as well, which might not be suitable for all ages.
Hello. I'm going through the game right now and I highly recommend you do something about the flashing lights post haste. My eyes suffer from photophobia and I'm susceptible enough that I had to look away from the screen for a couple of seconds, so I cannot imagine what would happen to a player with a more serious condition.
You could put out a tiny update with a warning, a toggle in the Prefs menu or simply removing the flashes. Again, I suggest you address it soon.
Thanks for letting us know! We did also receive this as a complaint from other users, and we made it into an option to turn off the flashing light in the settings menu. Along this update will be a few bug/grammar errors and mobile version! It just got released so Thank you again!
I'm really happy you enjoyed the game! You can follow us on twitter @HopKeeper for any news and updates. Me and DaSinBun are working hard on the next update but it might be a while since we want everything to be just right!
Thanks for checking the game out! As much as the Elder is as attractive as he is~ He won't be getting his own route so I am sorry. I hope this doesn't deter you from trying out future updates! Thank you for your support!
I was curious about it before but I think it might only work on some android phones. As of now, we don't have any plans for an android update but I have been looking into it. For now, I cannot confidently say there will be one yet. Thank you for checking us out still!
I just finished all my exams and the first game I played it's yours and it was just perfect and unique, I kind of feel like when I started the big amazing known furry games

Fire Update~!
An update ❤🔥
I can't believe i was actually replaying v 0.01 all the time until 0.02 came out. Guess that's another addiction for me.
Love the new CG art! Loving all the villagers to! I'm torn between Jin and Joseph.

Thanks again! Although pokemon comparison is kinda worrying, since skipping pokemon generations is definitely a bad idea, but i'll trust you.
Oh don't worry about the comparison. What I am saying is that whenever you start a monster hunter game, its always a new experience. And I am not saying skipping is bad. Always start with one thing, then if you like it, you can play the previous ones too.

100 hours worth? As if megaten wasn't enough… I guess I got myself busy for a lo-o-ng time (I'm liking what I see so far).
Wow, that's wholesome.

That's a relief, thanks for clarification.
As both a MH and FVN fan, this game met my expectations !
The whole story is pretty wholesome so far and I love all the characters (too bad I couldn't hang out with Joseph on day 4)
I look forward to the next update :)
I love this visual novel a very good storyline and good art style
Excellent presentation! I especially adore the little transitions with the sweet messages!
Thank you for trying out what we have so far! Glad you enjoyed the game.

Can you give them a tail? Monsters have tail too right?
Some monsters in the MH Universe do have tails, but in my view, giving them one might be a bit too much and close to what we are trying to achieve in terms of writing. Maybe in the future, depending on what happens. Thank you still for trying it out!

Oh… that’s actually reasuring, thanks. Quite refreshing to read a fvn where you have so much agency for once 🙃
Is there any way to choose to go with joseph on day 4, or is that not an option as i cant seem to find it. enjoying this so far looking forward to more :)
Glad you're enjoying! This game will feature days where you can choose to hang out with other characters. Some days will have all of them available but some of them will be too busy to be available.

Found bug or glitch where you can't press confirm when in the name section
Hi! Please try clicking the text Confirm rather than the black box. The next update will have this box smaller for easier understanding. Thanks for letting us know!

Loved the game. But... I have to ask.
There'll be Elder's, Gerald's and Garu's routes?
Unfortunately, there might not be routes available for them. Depending on the feedback/requests, we might consider but as of now, they will only be considered as supporting characters.
- Roda -
I'm a fan of monster hunter so I'll it a try.
Thanks for giving our game a try!

Why did you make Jin so cute and irresistible?
Glad you enjoyed what we have so far! It will be a while before the next major update since we are still making sure everything is just right, which includes Jin!
- Roda -
This games is so awesome, and love the charcters so far, especially koku, but was wonder something what position is the mc in a relationship if u know what i mean
Well right now, we can't say much without compromising the written story but you will have the option. Thank you for trying out our game!
- Roda -

So what's the +18 content? Curious
As of now, there is no 18+ scenes in particular. But the flag is for future updates, which will include then and this game does feature adult themes and topics as well, which might not be suitable for all ages.

This is a great start! Makes me want to get right to dating each of them already.
Also, it's in the lore that no Hunter wants to hurt a Dodogama; they're much too cute.
Thanks for trying out the game! Glad you're enjoying what we have so far
- Roda -

I'd assuming the routes are the six characters in the page cover, correct?
Yup! All the 6 featured here are the current routes.
- Roda -
is good game! though i hope we get at least a single date with the elder...
Thanks for checking the game out! As much as the Elder is as attractive as he is~ He won't be getting his own route so I am sorry. I hope this doesn't deter you from trying out future updates! Thank you for your support!
- Roda -
something tells me Elder is a bit too old for that shit 😅
No non, we can't get between Elder and Housekeeper's love <3
'between' maybe not but, but doesn't mean can't join for fun lo
So uh.
Is this working on Joiplay? I really want to play it but im using Android:(
I was curious about it before but I think it might only work on some android phones. As of now, we don't have any plans for an android update but I have been looking into it. For now, I cannot confidently say there will be one yet. Thank you for checking us out still!
- Roda -
oh okay! Ty for replying:]
I play on android, and works perfectly in JoiPlay
Just checked this game out and it's amazing! can't wait for more!
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying what we have so far!
