Estuvo muy bueno, lo jugué despues de jugar la demo y la verdad es que me encanto, pero podrías ponerlo en español plis? No encontre aplicaciones para traducirlos T T"" Solo eso <3

Hola, muchas gracias! Me alegro de que te haya gustado!

En algún momento tengo pensado traducir mis juegos al Español, pero no de momento ya que me lleva mucho tiempo y primero quiero concentrarme en seguir mis otros juegos.

Pero en algún momento lo haré!

Ta bien, amo tu arte! (acabo de jugar Panacea y voy por Potion pleasing) Y la verdad es que esta muy bueno y original <333

Reynard takes place in the same universe as Where Winter Crows Go but they're not related. There is a little Easter egg though.

It is, however, related to Killer Trait. Reynard is a spin off of Killer Trait and a teaser game of a game I want to make in the future.

Is this game still in development or is it already finished?

(1 edit)

It's finished, but it's a teaser game to a longer one I want to make in the future

Ahhhhh this was so much fun! I love Carl so much!! He's so cheeky hahaha. I loved the back-and-forth between him and Fay so much. Which makes me even more giddy knowing there will be a new game with them in the future, as I'd love to see more of them, especially tackling cases together as I can already tell their dynamic is going to be a delight. The little "twist" at the end was so cute too hehe. Also I loved that there were some references to your other games??? (I'm pretty sure? Right??? LOL)

The whole thing was so charming and left me with such a big smile on my face. Such fun characters and the whole experience was just so quirky and delightful 💕

Aaaahhhh Carrot, you're so sweet, thank you so much!! 🥹❤️💕

I'm really happy you enjoyed the game and the dynamics between Fay and Carl!! 💖 

I had a lot of fun writing this, so it makes my heart warm whenever people tell me they've enjoyed it and want to see more 🤭💕

Yes, you're right, there were a few references to my other games! Hehe, I'm happy you caught them! ❤️✨️

Muchas gracias, me alegro de que te haya gustado el juego!

Solo una cosa: podrás poner una advertencia de spoiler en tu comentario y un poco de espacio para que se vea esa parte más abajo? 

Sé que no dice exactamente todo pero podría ser adivinado y quiero que el plot twist sorprenda a todos. Gracias!

I already left a comment but I am sorry I have to say this: the new thumbnail, I KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AND I AM STILL FALLING FOR IT 

I've never played killer trait but this as awesome! 10/10

Thank you for playing, happy you enjoyed it! ✨️

(+3)

Who is this man and why does he make me feel things I am lying I played killer trait of course I know who you are.

Again, another banger from the team, I love your VA work, and looking forward to see more Killer Trait side stories!

Aaahdxhhd thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed Reynard (and Killer Trait)!! ☺️❤️

(+1)

I've sinned haha, I played this before trying the main demo game and it was pretty cute interview!^^ The VA did an amazing job voicing sly character. The writing style is very nice too. I enjoyed~~ Also if I may ask - can I steal the "No gen ai" image for my game pages or is it someone's personal art?^^

Hahah it's alright! While I recommend playing the Killer Trait demo first, you can still enjoy Reynard just fine if you decide to play it first instead 💪☺️

Thank you for your kind comments, I'm happy you enjoyed the game!! ❤️

Oh, yeah! The "No AI was used" image was made by a dev to share with everyone who would like to use it on their projects to let people know the projects were made 100% by humans, so feel free to use it for your projects too!

(+1)

Yay! Then i'll use it too^^ thanks! btw if you'll ever want any kind of collab or create something together lmk~~

Ooh that'd be awesome, thank you!! ❤️

(+1)

awesome story!

Thank you!! 💖

This was simply amazing!! I was so invested, it was heart crushing to come back to the menu screen Xd. 

Seriously, the writing conveys the dynamic and Carl's personality so well, the progression was super smooth, that one line gave me CHILLS for a second, I didn't expect that turn of event at all. 

The art is very aesthetically pleasing; GUI, sprite, logo...it all gives its own identity to the game (and i appreciate very much each character having a different color for text! Easier to read and know who is talking.)

The VO is fantastic, not only  the VA voice matched Carl, but the voice direction is on point. 

And I am ashamed to say that Carl may have charmed me T_T 

Asxhwhdhs thank you so much, Yuno!! I'm happy you enjoy the game and liked Carl; that means a lot!! 💖🥰

I'll be sure to check your own O2A2 entry soon too (thankfully I have a vacation soon)!! ☺️❤️

Ahh that is sweet of you thank you T_T

(+1)

I can't wait t see why he is no longer working for the police and what will happened in Caral's and Fay's game
(+1)

Your gameplays are always so fun to watch, thank you for playing!! I'm happy you enjoyed the game and the interactions between Carl and Fay 💖

Que pena que você não permite a gameplay dele sem comentários porque até queria fazer uma gameplay só que não tenho um headset , fazer o que quando eu tiver eu vou ver se vou querer fazer uma gameplay dele .

If you don't have a headset maybe you could add written commentary in the form of subtitles in the video, some people do that. 

I just don't allow gameplay without any form of commentary because that's esentially re-uploading my game (which I am NOT okay with) and not making any kind of transformative content.

Entendi , não sei legendar vídeos . Muito Obrigada por responder e boa sorte também .

Pri!!!!  You're the best! Omg, I loved every bit.  Your writing and creations are such a wonderful gift. Where to start - your whole vision and design with his character design, your game logo, this literal orange text I'm typing with to you right now, everything is amazing!  Your voice actor casting is brilliant too.  Oh man, this is so good!  

Aaaaahh, that's so sweet of you, thank you so much, Lila; I'm really happy you enjoyed the game and that you also like my logo!! 🥹❤️💖

(+1)

I love this little story, such a fun read! I'm curious, are you planning on making a longer game with Fay and Carl some time in the future? They're both very interesting characters, and their dynamic is super enjoyable <3

(+1)

Thank you so much, that's really sweet of you! 🥹❤️

Yes! I plan to make a longer game about them in the future! This is sort of a "teaser game" of their main game that I'll make at some point in the future 💪

(+1)

Yesss, consider me successfully teased =D

can't wait for the full gam

(+1)

I love the twist at the end did not see it coming though I did think that Fay's detective agency was not a normal agency.

Thank you! 🥰❤️ I'm happy you enjoyed it!

And you're right, Fay's detective agency is a bit unusual 🤭

(1 edit) (+1)

i didnt knew who was, after i saw the character i thought "isnt that boy form killer trait" LOL HAHAH

Indeed, he's the same Carl from Killer Trait! Hehehe <3

(+2)

Dang I knew you were cooking for the Carl game but this entry's twists took me ENTIRELY by surprise. I suppose I should have guessed based on other games in the universe, but without spoiling much I'll say I'm very intrigued... 

I really loved the entire atmosphere, somehow it felt very consistent with Killer Trait but with a stronger "detective" vibe to it. Carl's design is very cute (I love his colors and his eyes in particular), and the art is lovely - the expressions in particular are so dynamic! And his VA did an absolutely fantastic job with making him sound as playfully mischievous as possible. I also really liked the choice to use colored dialogue for the different characters - it matched really well aesthetically with Carl's design scheme! 

The dynamic between Fay and Carl was really fun to read (the dev's dialogue/banter is always top tier), and it did a good job of establishing the relationship between the characters while hinting at the surrounding universe and its mysteries. Also curious to see what happens to Carl in Killer Trait, considering he is very obviously unemployed by the time this game occurs... 

Very interested in seeing how Fay handles her new assistant in the main game! Fantastic work!!

(+1)

Hohoho, I'm glad the twist took you by surprise! 🤭

Thank you so much, Chatt, it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the game and Fay's and Carl's dynamic! 🥰❤️

(+1)

Oh Pri, I didn't know you were preparing something for O2A2, perhaps I missed it! But the moment I saw it on my itch feed, I almost screamed "OH CARL" out loud looool

Now, the game was very cool, funny and intriguing! First of all, I won't spoil the reveal, but DANG, was it both unexpected and yet surprisingly wholesome! It does raise interesting questions regarding the lore of Cedaria! I loved the dynamic between Fay and Carl, and I can tell how it will grow into banter in the future haha.

The voice acting was also very good, and the VA managed to make Carl sound very charming, props to them! The art was also absolutely gorgeous; for some reason, I would regularly press my "H" key to look at it, I really love the shapes used for Carl! The GUI, logo included, was great too and very fitting, without being intrusive! And the music track definitely set the mood!

Congrats on releasing this!!

Aww thank you so much, Chim!!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!! 🥹💖

LOL, I almost didn't make it in time for the deadline of 02A2 but I'm glad I did 'cause I really really REALLY wanted to make this game!! 💪
