My submission for May Wolf 2024!
This is my first time creating a Visual Novel game. I wanted to give it a shot!
Thanks for reading.
Beginning Anew with You is a SFW Visual Novel.
Synopsis: Callum returns to his hometown for a few weeks to spend time with his family and catch up with old friends. His friends think that he should try making new friends, and introduce you to him. It turns out that he's quite the prickly wolf at first, but you're willing to give him a chance. Will you be able to become friends within these few weeks? Follow Callum's journey as he opens up and begins anew with you!

I have given Beginning Anew With You a Temporary Disqualification due two issues:
One background used is a blurred AI Generated image from https://www.freepik.com/premium-ai-image/rustic-cottagestyle-kitchen-with-modern-appliances-wooden-cabinetry-copper-accents_44781533.htm . This violates Rule 9 of the Jam.
Multiple backgrounds used are not custom made, Creative Commons/Royalty Free or some other license. This violates itch.io policies regarding Copyright and therefore Rule 13 of the Jam.
Please replace these images with those that you have the right to use. If you are confused about any of these terms that I am using or would like some advice about finding images to replace the problematic ones with, then please DM me on Discord.
You have 72 hours to fix these issues otherwise you will be Rejected from the Jam along with other punishments we are within our rights to pursue. Once again, if you need any clarifications or assistance regarding this, then please DM me on Discord.
I have now looked the the 1.1 version.
The AI Generated Image has been removed.
Creative Commons/Royalty Free images have replaced the previous problematic images; however, there a few issues with those Creative Commons images. Mostly regarding the lack of a direct attribution, that I have explained privately to the creator.
Beginning Anew With You will remain Disqualified until those Creative Commons issues are resolved but the Rejection Deadline has been lifted due to a good show of progress.
The issues have been resolved. Beginning Anew With You is Requalified.
I forgot to do this weeks ago but here is the Superlative Voting Form for anyone that is interested: https://forms.gle/gwZW4U4Dvgae4RWs8
Superlative Voting ends when the Jam Voting Ends.
Beginning Anew with You creates a warm, cozy atmosphere that envelops the reader from start to finish. The characters are delightfully vivid, each with distinct voices and personalities that shine through the beautifully written dialogue and interactions. The art and music choices complement the story perfectly, enhancing the charm and bringing the narrative to life in a way that feels super legitimate. Very cute!
Thank you!
I forgor that you’re on the FVN Server. 🤪
Also please add more tags to your project. Especially the “Furry” tag.
Hello!
A few things.
More specifically, you can mark you “PC” build as also running on Linux. The Windows build here is redundant.
What if I feel like saving 16 MB, uwu?
