Ever since 'Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator' came out I've had the itch to give the visual novel medium a go (especially since I found this game to be lacking in content but I still liked its charm).
My visual novel game is set in an anthropomorphic world and concerns the everyday life of an otter named 'Sunkra' and his love interest; a zebra named 'Milo'. The story focuses on Sunkra and his group of friends, his work and his environment. The world is a mix of modern day commodities and fantasy, leading to surreal situations as well as very normal ones.
Though this is not a dating simulator, there is a friendship mechanic to increase Sunkra's standing with his friends to unlock possibilities in the game (some sooner than others). There are 18+ situations and sprites in this game, and in the future there will be 18+ scenes as well. These are mainly homosexual in nature but bisexual and heterosexual content is also provided. You will always have the option in the story to avoid sexual content not to your liking before it happens. When starting the game you're offered a choice between NSFW and SFW mode, the latter will censor nudity below the waist with a fig leaf and will cut out sexual tension and situations in the game.
2. Artwork
Most of the artwork in the game are placeholders for now. The drawn characters are from my older webcomic projects and the backgrounds from Google. It's the intention that everything will be replaced with brand new art assets.
These are the collected assets so far:

3. Constructive critique
I welcome constructive critique, feedback and tips very much! Please do keep in my that it's my first ever visual novel project.
I haven't been able to get much feedback on the game, only from a few very close friends who are getting tired of me asking them to play test. :P

To bypass this, add the game to your anti-virus' exceptions list/whitelist, restore the .exe from its quarantine and try again. IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Never use old save files on a new version of the game! Always start fresh (and use the 'skip' button), otherwise the game may bug out.
5. Patreon link
I very much appreciate any support over on Patreon, every little bit helps. Thank you! The Patreon version adds more content to play test, as chapters become fully completed they will shift over to the public version.
