Conway

ive been loving this vn so much i cant wait for more sam, but what music is the main menu i really like it

Hello! First of all I'd like to say that this is the second time in my life that a game has made me think about it so much that I finally decided to share some of my thoughts (the first one was Mass Effect 3 a loooong time ago x3) - it is indeed something else when it comes to immersion, character interactions and overall vibe. Absolutely loving your work and can't wait to see more!

I'd say that one of the most immersive factors for me at least is the usage of only ambient sounds for the vast majority of gameplay, and when there's some "big" moment happening - when you can see a detailed, beautiful artwork paired with fitting, emotional soundtrack AND the descriptions to top it all off - then you can really FEEL it, it is sooo masterfully thought out!

Of course the characters themselves are the main asset of the whole novel, they might fall into some stereotypes at times but that's of course unavoidable and they are implemented really, really well nevertheless. Every single one of them has at the very least "something" interesting about them, you can feel that every one has his/her motivations, past experiences etc. that made them who they are.

I also have some thoughts regarding the plot/characters so I'll put it below leaving some free lines to hide the SPOILERS from the immediate screen space:

Okay so... there is this one part of the plot that got me, and of course I'll not be too much of an original type by saying it concerns none other than the fan favorite Samuel him(her)self and the secret/reveal concerning the character's gender, haha

I fully respect the writers' ideas and on a "plot" level I find it a very interesting addition that makes the character even more so relatable/likeable/being a target for sympathy etc. However, I do have to admit that as a player - one that is really easy to emotionally influence - I kinda felt ...betrayed? Heartbroken? None of these words are fully adequate really, because I wouldn't want to sound overly dramatic/disrespectful - but to be honest I think the main issue here is the scene with the 1st day evening/morning dreams (with nude Sam as a male), which really sets the expectations/hopes for the player. Because shortly after that there's some affectionate bonding over the sunrise, caring about and quickly falling for the character, and only afterwards (in my mind, already after the "romance" has begun really - as the player already has to "invest" time and feelings into Sam instead of other potential romances) the reveal makes it so that homosexual people, who probably were super happy to have found such a gem of a character, are... well, you know... you can't make a straight person gay or vice versa.

I'm only allowing myself for such a suggestion because according to Furscience stats, homosexual people are a really big part (around 30ish %) of the furry fandom, so it's probably not just a "me" issue - I've read some ...really salty comments about this situation. And that suggestion would be to maybe consider removing the morning dream scene, or maybe moving it into a later part of the playthrough, if the player's choices would suggest that he prefers to play a homosexual route (so it'd be more of a "what if" dream, (maybe even with some more spicy additions) and not a "can't wait for that" dream)?

Because right now it is just SO EASY to fall for Samuel in a "romantic" way from the very beginning (which kind of enables the narration that she's a "trap") - so maybe it would be better to limit it to a "platonic/friendship" level until the reveal is made? This way she can still be a player's favorite character, but, you know, more of a "sister" than a "(potential)lover".

Other than that, I really hope Nomax gets some more "affectionate" ways to romance him in the future updates, because right now I feel like a d*** to treat him like that only to have some intimate moments with him :( I'd sooo much rather progress the relationship with him in the similar manner to Sam (so investing myself emotionally before bedding someone). Or maybe Bandile could be made romanceable in the future? His personality/behavior and the player's interactions with him would set him for a perfect "boyfriend material" in this manner.

Basically what I want to say is that both Sam and Rajeeyah (at least I think she seems to be romanceable?) have their romance pacings set out so naturally - with learning a lot of backstories/motivations/emotions first, with them being tender, delicate and loveable - while the only other comparable homosexual romance is either heavily sex-oriented from the start (Nomax), or unavailable (Bandile). I suppose you could argue that both Arthur and Wolf could be treated as such, but it's not really comparable as you have to either be into the "strong/distant male" OR have meta-knowledge that they'll finally open up and/or become more affectionate.

Either way, please don't take the above ramblings as a "criticism/hate", it's more of a "I care so much about this story that I felt like i needed to voice some thoughts" - I'll be watching it unfold with great interest, it is a true work of art <3

I'm kinda confused a bit I'm pretty sure I'm on Arthur's route but I've been getting a lot of time with other characters and Samuel instead of Arthur, is that normal or did I pick a wrong choice somewhere 😭

For anyone visiting the comments looking to see if it's worth it, let me tell you it's worth it. On the onset it might get a bit overwhelming with the ship lingo, but you'll get comfy with the characters and story. 

Pacing feels good, art is beautiful, animations make things dynamic, chef's kiss all around and i commend the creators fully. Finally, Sam is my ride or die and would follow into mutiny for no questions asked. 

Alright so I was just trying to find a game to goon to but found Conway was genuinely so good I forgot why I got it, I enjoyed playing the game all the way through. I was expecting a pirate attack somewhere in the game when I saw the option to turn off violent option. I do hope you add one I wanna see how mc handles it. I do wish there was as much art as the snake guy, in mean to give a little more visual to what happening for example the scene with mc, nomax and Julian could use another art . Ps Nomax gotta be my favorite. great game I enjoyed wasting hours in the world you guys made, wish you all best of health. Thank you till next update

Hey! genuinely loving this! So much! The writing is good, it keeps to history really well (from what I know, at least) and the art is great as well! I genuinely hope you all keep creating even after Conway is finished, because I'd absolutely love to see more from all of you ^^

P.S. Amazing job with the new update btw! can't wait to see what's coming next! <3

I am loving this VN, I'm excited for the story to continue. I really hope I can help Sam achieve a certain outcome that's teased at the current ending.

What do the cheats even do

I recently picked up this VN after seeing it on YouTube, and I've been loving it so far. Zero regrets trying it out, lol. Though I do have one question involving Julian and a scene with him which I'll put below, as I cannot tell if I'm misremembering something. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? 

Spoiler warnings involving Julian below. 

I recently had a bit of time on my hands (aka it was late, probably like 3 AM and I was tired and bored lol) and after I tried the routes of all the characters, I decided to run thru some of the options in the game just to see how they play out later on within the VN. Expectedly, I tried a few different options and I swear I happened upon a less than SFW scene involving Julian, where he doesn't speak during said scene because of a uh.. lost bet I think? I believe he can only be silent for a day if you select a certain option beforehand, but that typically means you lose out on the aforementioned less than SFW scene. It was very late at the time, so in a tired stupor I didn't give the scene much thought and didn't save the game. Now I feel like I'm crazy because I haven't able to trigger this scene again.

Am I just horribly, and I mean horribly misremembering something due to my questionable memory at 3:30 AM? Or is this an actual scene that occurs? Sorry to bother, I just genuinely cannot tell if I'm recalling things correctly.

Cheers!

Its so fucking over with the new Wolf update

Looking forward to more Julian. Love that lizard gremlin. 

Absolutely fantastic work of art right here! All that's missing is a bit more music but that's just me. The characters, setting, and sense of adventure all mesh well and you owe it to yourself to try it out!

Holy shit, I finished my first walkthrough right now, and that's insane, I love it, like really love it!

You guys have big potential, and I hope you finish this, if you drop that banger in steam, I'll be first who buy your game!

I adore this VN, is absolutely fantastic! A must play for every furry and furry content enjoyer!

Rahhh this is lgit my fav Vn in here that i have found i kind of did a drawing of Nomax but gave up quickly still want to show yall tho (not to sure how to attach images so sorry if its nit there. if i do finish it properly ill send it again (:

Best VN I've yet played, and it's not even finished! Was so sad when I couldn't follow Rayjeeyah or Bandile off the ship. 

Прекрасная новелла с прекрасным стилем рисовки (персонажи очень красивые) и историей. Будет время, то прочитаю ещё с несколькими персонажами.

Удачи в разработке 🌹

Sehr schöne VN, kann man nur loben. Die Artworks sind fantastisch und die Gesichte packend, macht weiter so ♥

Would you say conways world contains homophobia ?

First, I wanted to know how to get all the cutscenes for Wolf? I swear I tried multiple ways but I can only get the last one :(

Second:

Im in love with this games writing and artstyle, the art is soo pretty and i love every character design

The writing is really good, it makes me feel like im on a ship when paired with the sound design, i really like it :) 

Samuel and Rajeeyah are such cool and refreshing characters for stories about pirates, I love them <3 but honestly I really love all of the characters, the dialogues are so fun!! I def want to learn more about the MC too

Will you be taking on more writers or looking for writers in the future?

is itch back to normality? finally i can watch this site again waiting updates

Sorry to post here but want to let people know visa and Mastercard are trying to ban nsfw content form itch and steam so if people were having trouble find games that’s why and itch has been taking games done with little to no notice so if you wanna keep games and content of hyaos and other creators on the platform you need to try to take some free time to call visa and Mastercard not to yell at customer service but to stall make them lose business and take a lose in profit. If you don’t have the free time there should be some petitions available rn to sign and help put a stop on policing on creators creativity.

I’ve noticed that Day 3 sometimes plays out differently even when I make the exact same choices during replays. For example, in my first playthrough, Julian appeared first, but in later runs, it’s always Arthur. Similarly, sometimes the doctor invites me to the infirmary, but not always—even when my choices are identical.

Is this behavior random, a bug, or an intentional part of the game’s design? My current theory is that using the skip button might accidentally skip certain scene triggers, since I didn’t use it on my first playthrough and everything played out more smoothly. I’m not a programmer, so I’m unsure how likely that is.

Also, is there a guide that explains how to trigger different storylines or events?

Also i try to keep it vague so i didn't put the spoiler warning on top but if you think this is still to spoilery then i will delete it .

Is there a Chinese translation for this game? I really want to play it

This is an absolutely phenomenal FVN—I haven't read anything this brilliant in ages! Even the [his] route stands out as the only non-gay route I could actually get through in any FVN, truly exceptional writing with masterful character development. That said, there are minor bugs, like in the confrontation scene where Arthur faces the James in Nomax's cabin: if you choose the outcome where Nomax raises no objections and James stops Arthur to clear the air (specifically the route with the line "I hope my honesty here will dispel any assumption that I am out to cause trouble on this ship"), Arthur's sprites don't disappear and remain stuck on screen indefinitely...

Hello, I hope everything is going well with you! I wanted to come here and share my thoughts about the latest update, more specifically about Julian's part - about him in general, actually lol

I let a few updates pile up because I wanted to see how Julian's part would end up and I can say that I'm very pleased with the result

Ever since I started playing Conway back when I was still in the first build with the sprites being all little scribbled figures, I already knew that there was a lot of potential there. Eventually as the game was updated and developed I started playing again and I immediately fell in love with Julian

He is by far my favorite character of all - and by a very large margin btw. I simply love all the scenes with him and all the interactions and dialogues with him are very fun. I love that lizard soooo much it's not even funny

Now that the glowing sea session is over I can say that my feelings have only strengthened. The way his relationship with James (who I named Kirkley in my playthrough, but I'll call him by his canonical name just to make things easier) was deepened, and all I wanted to do was get into the game and show Julian all my love

But it was at this point that I felt the first major disconnect between how the character James feels about Julian and how I, as a player, feel about him. Julian definitely likes James more than James likes him back, and I definitely love Julian more than James loves him back. I was distressed that I couldn't show all my affection and make this beautiful friendship more reciprocal, because I really wanted to lmao

Now that all that said: I have no idea how to unlock his latest LMAO. Normally I wouldn't come here looking for hints because I like to explore the choices and routes by myself but I really got stuck and have no idea how to unlock it. Btw where did the art from the night session with Julian and Samuel go? It's not in either of their tabs (or in any other tab, really). Should it appear somewhere? I just couldn't find it

While I'm already pathetically asking for help, I also haven't been able to unlock Nomax's last art lmao. I have no idea what to do to unlock it tbh

I also haven't unlocked Samuel's last art but it's been a while since I last played his route so I hope to get there eventually

Anyway, I'm very happy to have the opportunity to play Conway. It's easily one of my favorite visual novels ever. I hope everything goes well in the development journey and I wish you and the entire team all the best!

Heavy Spoilers!!

I played on Samuel's route until the big reveal on day two, and I let out an audible gasp in real life lol. Samuel being a woman took me by surprise to say the least, and honestly, it made me stop doing her route any further.

Don't get me wrong, I think having a character like Samuel is a wonderful and heartwarming touch in a visual novel, but it's definitely not for me. 

I hope I don't come off as transphobe or any of the sorts, because that's definitely not the case. It's - like I said - not for me, is all :)

I might give it a go on the other routes, since what I've read so far was very enjoyable. Great VN! :D

Just finished with the Julian route as my first. I've gotta say, this vn is honestly one of the best I've read through. I love the writing, and the art is so unique, it's absolutely beautiful, like a straight up painting! Even though the route isn't finished, I can tell how much effort has been put into these characters.

The character building is *chef's kiss*. Getting to know each of them is enjoyable and the span of time of getting to know them feels like it's done healthily. Overall, this vn is great, and I can't wait to see more of this, especially more of Julian. He's my favorite, little, sassy lizard guy :)

Every time I load my previous save from a new game, it keeps messing up the scene and characters. Body parts are in all different places
