I found a bug during Ridge's testimony. If you question him on his 4th dialogue, first testimony after the "..." one, an error screen appears after the Scrivinier says "That's fine, your description matches Jack..." (you can ignore it and continue, but I wanted to point it out)
Also, I have a little doubt about the dialogues when you go to talk with Gerald during the recess, 'cause it seems it is very similar in most cases when it should not be? For example, in Leo's route, it is said that him and Jin are at Runan's? But if Leo is the suspect, shouldn't he be detained elsewhere? In Ridge's route, it is said that Joseph dragged him to Garu's place, but shouldn't he be detained elswhere? idk, maybe I'm giving it too many twists, but I thought the hunters would have detained the suspect and took him to guard him.
Also, thanks for making this game! It is awesome and I have been engaged for a good while waiting for the updates. You don't see that many MH projects around and I'm really enjoying it, so I would love to keep seeing more of this!
I love this so muchh but can you make more save slots? i cant fit all my favorite moments in the save slots, its okay if ya dont either way i love these characters so much!!1
This update was simply incredible and with lots of tension. As always amazing writing story, character design, artwork and everything. I love it so much.
This update has brought me to the brink in Jin's route. The update was great and i do love the reference heh. Wasnt expecting it and honestly glad to see it. Gave the VN a fun little brain teaser. Keep up the good work and have a relaxing break. But man, I need more days hahaha. Being greedy for this VN is ugh- hard
Hi! Just played through the new chapter, and I'll say it was definitely... filled with emotion. But besides that, I'm not sure if this bug concerning Jin's route has been addressed yet though (spoilers).
On day 18 in Jin's route after bringing him to his house from the grave, Gerald's sprite is elevated to the point that you can't see most of his upper body for the entire conversation (It kinda looks like Gerald's standing on top of the table, lol). I've also attached a photo for you.
Just wanted to point this out. I've looked through the comments and haven't seen this bug been addressed (Unless I'm just blind). Is my boy Jin really that unpopular!? Either way, this VN is great and I definitely enjoyed it, thank you for all of you guys' hard work!
I am sorry but the image you sent contains spoilers, even though it was a bug due to the naming of the files. However, I did understand the bug and will check it out, but can you scroll down and send it here again so we can see the rest of the traceback? Please mark it as spoiler as well. If we cannot find it from our end, we cannot fix it, so the full traceback is usually useful.
Ah upon reviewing the code, you reloaded an old save file (At least from day 8 since the variable for this one is missing). Old save files might be buggy when reloading the game due to updated codings and such. Because of this, some variables might have been deleted when updating or continuing.
I suggest start over, utilizing the skip button, and continue from there. If the error persists, let me know.
I want to again emphasize to everyone reading this to start your save file over first since Renpy is not update friendly when it comes to save files, be we do try what we can to minimize it.
The first time I saw this VN, I ignored it because it's a "fangame". A few months ago, I decided to play it and was surprised with the quality. And after update V 0.6, it's easily the best VN I have ever played.
I need help, I got stuck on the third part of the trial. I have the damage armor and the armor lantch, But I don't know what to do anymore (I'm on Jin's route)
Wow chapter 3 was just brilliant and a true masterpiece! Love the game reference (won't spoil what it is) and wasn't expecting it! I loved it! Keep up the fantastic work! <3
I precisely wanted to delete a bunch of saves that I made by accident, so thank you very much for the info and great work improving the VN the soundtrack of each character is something that I did not expect and a beautiful addition
Could there be a skip button for the new section in part 3? trying to go through it multiple times to go down each route feels like a slog to go through. That's really the only complain I have for this! Really loving the new update. Can't wait to see future updates!
After going through the first round, you are free to skip the game on PC using the shift button. I disabled this mostly since the coding for this section is a bit fragile. We want to release the game already since everyone wants to know what happens next, but I will be gradually adding/fixing a few details for the next couple of weeks, which includes the skip button
I..... I don't know if I want to applaud you or hate you.... I liked that you made the whole scene into another game. That is well thought out but on.... the other hand the end is...... Im like... Why? Why him? How can I play the other routes when I already know what's gonna happen?! I fucking cried to that! I know that not every story has good ending but that's just not fair.... also that to be continued, you guys are doing it again.. you guys are cruel.
Don't worry though I will still follow this to the very end and I'm gonna wait for the next update. Kudos to everyone who is part of this wonderful VN, you guys did a fantastic job in this update! Now if you excuse me, Im gonna cry my heart out now...
that might be one of the best ace attorney references I've ever seen????? ong I laughed so hard the first time I saw it 10/10 keep up with the good work!!! cant wait for the next update
also while playing Jo's route I encountered an error while being in the last trial:
also also for some reason after I was done with Jo's route the game just randomly put me on day 8 tho it still shows as day 17
This is extremely rude, Let them take their time with the VN. We wouldn't want them to feel Burnt-out or rush something Sub-par. So please, be patient and let them work their magic, i can speak from Experience that the more people say "Do This" or "Do that"/"Update" "Update now" leads to pressure and possibly a cancelation of the project entirely. I'm in no way associated with Hopkeeper, but i hope they agree with me on this, and i'm sure other VN studios will as well
God! I loved this visual novel! I loved all the stories, some were interesting, others kept me guessing! And I was just a little disappointed. But the rest loved it! In fact, I am part of the Hispanic community. Now I am using translator to write this. So sorry if you don't understand! I just wanted you to know that I loved the novel.
Okay, Leo route... WHY THE F- HE IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!?!!? BUT THE CLIFFHANGER!!! AND "WHAT MEANS TO BE A MAN" THING, AAAAAH!!! (Also, The Purple Yian Kut-Ku is called Yian Garuga, right? Xd)
Now Ridge route... Just beautiful man... I literally reflected myself in Ridge, because i also pass through that shit of need help but also pulling they away because i was scare of dissapointing them...again... just.. beautiful... (i legit cried on this)
Joseph route... was the definition of spicy and pain, my third favorite for now. (F- you gore malaga, that's why i farm you so badly in the mh4)
I really enjoyed the game so far and wondered if you needed an SFX guy because I am a sound designer, I'm not looking for payment I'm just looking for experience if you want me on your team.
One, I absolutely love this game. You just had to pick the best monsters to romance, didn't you?
Two, without spoilers, I'd absolutely love to see Ridge... well, I really want to see what he's discussing with Koku at his home happen... hehe, scoutflies. XD
Three, minor correction in Joseph line: plants are flora, not fauna.
Four: A minor nitpick on graphics: Jo and Jin have small bits of body peeking through their shirts layers. And Koku's arms look a bit... jarring with sharp shift from brown to blue. Also, why does he have four fingers and his dad have five? Ah, nevermind this, really, since it's a work in progress I'm sure it will get fixed and just my minor quirk ^^;
And five: Will there be more poses for the characters in the final game in dialogue scenes?
Glad you're having fun with what we have so far! We are hoping, if time is good on our side, that after the game is complete, will have a sprite overhaul. The sprites will be updated so that they would look nicer but also new poses.
If I were to estimate the game's story right now, we are actually about 45-50% done (with the current update 0.5). I separated the releases to match the update number so you can expect about 4/5 more updates before we complete Monster VIllage.
So by the time we release 1.0 (or 0.95 if we are still polishing some parts like backgrounds and music), the story is practically complete and we can work on our ideas. We are unsure if we will release more updates (ie, 1.1, 1.2) in the future, but that is something we can worry about then.

Will look into this bug. Thanks!
Also, that is a good point, but I don't want to complicate things. Remember, they treat everyone that way, not just your dateable.
I see I see, thanks for resolving that doubt!
Also, thanks for making this game! It is awesome and I have been engaged for a good while waiting for the updates. You don't see that many MH projects around and I'm really enjoying it, so I would love to keep seeing more of this!
Whyyy him😭😭😭???

I love this so muchh but can you make more save slots? i cant fit all my favorite moments in the save slots, its okay if ya dont either way i love these characters so much!!1
im not asking for a spoiler by much but ive exhausted all the questions dialogs and there isnt anythying popping up to continue
Hmm,maybe not using the evidence?
This update was simply incredible and with lots of tension. As always amazing writing story, character design, artwork and everything. I love it so much.
Ok... Spoiler alert
I wanna cry.

Oh this bug was actually fixed. Youre currently on 0.6, 0.6.1 fixes this.
I can't complete the story when this one is in the way

A few months ago, I decided to play it and was surprised with the quality.
And after update V 0.6, it's easily the best VN I have ever played.
Just take the 5 stars.
Spoiler alert!!!!! (Please help me)
I need help, I got stuck on the third part of the trial. I have the damage armor and the armor lantch, But I don't know what to do anymore (I'm on Jin's route)
There is a Guide in the devlogs.
https://rodablackfang.itch.io/monster-village-vn/devlog/791526/bug-fixes-and-gui...
Also that spoiler tag is so looooooong
Awesome Chapter but btw is the sprite for MC used during the new gameplay is that his official model/spirite
to an extent, if DaSinBun is happy with it. Though it is specifically designed for the update so maybe 50% of it.
Wow chapter 3 was just brilliant and a true masterpiece! Love the game reference (won't spoil what it is) and wasn't expecting it! I loved it! Keep up the fantastic work! <3
How can I delete my saved data to start from scratch?
On desktop, hover over the saved data you want to delete and click "Del" on your keyboard.
Otherwise, just clicking new game and saving over that file also works.
Spoiler alert!!!!! (Possibly.)
If you'll excuse me... I need to go cry for a few hours...
Please, PLEASE! I need another update soon! But also by all means take that rest.
(Also, if I didn't do the spoiler alert correctly, I apologise and please feel free to remove this comment if that's the case.)

spoiler alert(maybe)
i must say i dont really comment on visual novels but this update was a perfect mix of tragedy and comedy.
i like how you decide to reference another capcom game. Waiting to see zombies next lol.
sad to see elder dying.
Excuse me but how did you manage to get through josephs statements i cant seem to get through it :(
i personally went for ridges route so i cant say really. İt might be a bug.
Nevermind im stupid i know what happened omg thanks for the quick reply btw
Here is my honest reaction with the update.
Spoiler Alert!!!!
I..... I don't know if I want to applaud you or hate you.... I liked that you made the whole scene into another game. That is well thought out but on.... the other hand the end is...... Im like...

Oh dear will upload a fix immediately for this one. Just woke up to this revelation
All I will say is y'all absolutely cooked with this one. Absolutely fantastic update
Quando inizia nuovi capitoli?
I thank you dearly for bringing Ridge into existence
Are there any fitish involved in this game?
SPOILERS!!!!
Probably,
Musk: at Runan's route, It's basically confirmed that he has a musk fetish, and even asks the player if he's "into musk".
Breeding, Daddy Kink, Age Gap: In Joseph's route, he wants to "breed" the player, he has daddy kink, and it seems he also has age gap kink.
I also think Leo has a Body Worship fetish, and I think in the future Jin may have (or have) Chest worship kink.
Ridge and Koku don't seem to have any fetishes at the moment.
o.o
Damn, even roda shocked 😂
10/10 bottom simulator I named my guy MacScryver and OH BOY was that a mistake

It takes time to make amazing content like this so pls stop rushing them. As the saying goes "Rome wasn't built in a day".
Can i ask the name of the song you used in Runan's backstory?
The music used in Runan's story is by Motoyuki-sensei in Dova music (https://dova-s.jp/bgm/play14039.html)

Thank you
i love all the characters! am i the only one who likes the elder too tho???
I have a very unhealthy addiction to the Elder.
im glad im not the only one! lol
F 😢
I love this visual novel and crave more to the story asap! so when will the visual novel get an update?
Progress is going well. Hopefully we will be able to release the next update later this month! 90% of the writing is done, art assets are at 50%!
The reason we are still unsure cause a new semester is gonna start next week :V
- Roda -
Hell yea!!! Make sure to keep a healthy life-work-school balance lifestyle xD
God! I loved this visual novel! I loved all the stories, some were interesting, others kept me guessing! And I was just a little disappointed. But the rest loved it!

Runan my beloved. The cliffhanger had me RAGING lmao
fr!!! i cant wait to see what happens next!
i'm gonna try this game, i'm back (if i remember xD) when i end it :D
(Spoiler Alert...)
Okay, Leo route... WHY THE F- HE IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!?!!? BUT THE CLIFFHANGER!!! AND "WHAT MEANS TO BE A MAN" THING, AAAAAH!!! (Also, The Purple Yian Kut-Ku is called Yian Garuga, right? Xd)

I know it's kinda vague, but still, you forgot a spoiler alert.
Sorry!! I usually don't comment!!
I really enjoyed the game so far and wondered if you needed an SFX guy because I am a sound designer, I'm not looking for payment I'm just looking for experience if you want me on your team.
Okay, I want to say several things.

Greetings, I hope everything is going well for you. just a reminder to be sure to take breaks when you need and to take your time.
