None so far unfortunately. Still looking for an artist. None of the ones that sent in applications were good fits and I've sent several messages to other furry artists and I'm still waiting on some responses. I did get a maybe from one so we'll see.
I've continued to work on the story while on hiatus as well as try to refine some of the UI. So, once the game comes back it should be a pretty big update (as long as I don't break anything in the code which is usually a 50/50 chance with me lol)
I like those odds! on another note I was wondering how far you plan to take the details of the for lack of a better word classes. Like will you go in depth of the magic, martial abilities, deities etc?
While I likely won't include actual RPG elements like combat encounters, hp bars, mana bars, etc. I do plan to add some dialog elements that will be affected by magical ability, martial ability and I will also be going a bit into the pantheon of deities in the world. Most of the combat will be done through timed choices later on and depending on the players class and skills and performance, different options will be unlocked for many scenarios.
Small(ish) nitpick but the directions to get back to the main hall from the administration area is incorrect.
The order to get there from the main hall is L-R-L-S-R-L. The "correct" order you currently have is R-L-R-S-L-R which is the above sequence but with the Lefts and Rights swapped. What it should be is R-L-S-R-L-R which is the first sequence with the Lefts and Rights swapped and *also reversed* since you are going backwards FROM admin TO the main hall.
Small thing but it took me a while to figure out the "correct" way back since the real answer was not right.
Yea, thank you. It's been brought to my attention a few times now. I've fixed it going forward with the next build whenever that gets released, however for now both the correct and "correct" paths are listed in the WSF guide. However, playing through blindly will result in everyone getting lost unfortunately. While it does affect some dialog choices and points, it doesn't affect anything majorly with the current release so I won't be releasing a fix for just that issue since the game is on hiatus at the moment. I do appreciate you taking the time to inform me and for playing through :)
There were many questions on different choices and what they affect so I made a guide a little while back and published the link to it in the April Touchbase 🙂.
Me encantó el juego, y realmente esperare por más, solo una pequeña cosa, y es que quisiera que se pudiera guardar al momento de tener que escoger las opciones, todo lo demás me encantó
I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. Also, you should be able to save the game at any time, even during the choices by hitting escape or right clicking. The only exception to this (that I'm aware of) would be android since you can only bring up the save option via the quick menu which is dismissed on the choice screen.
"Are beastman still hunted or treated like monsters?"
"Most nobles and politicians would tell you no, that beastman have been welcomed into society and have equal rights with the other humanoid races."
"In truth, there are still many beastman who are persecuted and killed for spite and sport. There are even rumours that beastman hides are sold at a high price in the black markets."
"People still fear and hate us in many places, if only less openly."
Any similarities with real world homosexuality is not mere coincidence.
There is a discord server for patrons, but since I closed my Patreon for now, it's pretty much closed/inactive at the moment. Until the game is back to getting updates, I don't have plans to open a discord server for the public yet.
When you are on that ethereal plane before appearing in that new world you need to choose answers non related with love, feelings or relationships at all, and then you need to lie to Silas so he doesn't give you that ride.
this is a great game so far i see nothing wrong and my fav so far is Qrom the dragonkin I don't know what it is about him I like he just seems like a lade back guy and I guess that's why I like him. But all in all this is a great game can't wait for the update
Not sure yet. I've got half of day 3 done for both the Mage and Fighter majors. I still have to finish the other half and the full day 3s for the other three majors. I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it lately so it's been slower going than usual. I want to say I hope before the end of May, but we'll see.
ok thanks for responding, also sorry for bothering again but does the path affect the route affect the story in a strong way? Because i selected mage im pretty sure and i want to end up in a route with silas so would that effect it in any way?
No bother at all :) The major you choose will affect the character you spend most time with in the beginning, but it won't restrict who you can romance. The main affect the major will have on the story is different dialogue changes.
So now that there's a guide and it's easier to purposefully get stats, I've got a couple of questions about them:
I acknowledge that it's still early and there hasn't been much of a chance for it, but what do each of the stats mean? (i.e. is it the same as d&d stats or do they have different meanings here)
I see that the mental stats are used a bit for dialogue checks, and I assume the physical ones will be the same, but will some majors benefit more from a stat than others (i.e. healers using wisdom for healing, rogues use dexterity for stealth, that kind of thing) and if so, could we know which ones?
They are very similar to D&D. Each stat will have dialog affects, but they will also affect your performance in your majors as well. Day 3 once released will give a bit more information on how the courses work and you'll be trying to balance grades, relationships and other aspects as the game progresses. The majority of this mechanic won't be seen very early on, but will have an affect that lasts throughout the playthrough.
Also, some stats may play an unexpected role in some majors depending on your score in them, for instance, if you were in the mage major and had both a high intelligence and high strength or something like that it may unlock different options later down the road. However, the main stats that will affect your courses in the major are as below:
Fighter - Strength
Mage - Intelligence
Holy Arts - Wisdom
Guardian - Charisma
Rogue - Dexterity
I don't intend for there to be extremes that only min/maxers can attain, but people are creative and enjoy building characters in different ways so there may be some that try to attain a "perfect" score.
I do, it's just an icon on the main page near the bottom. It's mostly just a "tip jar" since I can't promise monthly updates, but I do plan on updating the tiers soon to add early access and other perks.
I appreciate that 😁 Currently I'm saving up all of the itch donations and patreon pledge monies to commission art assets for the game so every little bit does help if you do decide to support ❤
Between all the assignments and studying, I FINALLY got a chance to play through Aldric's route, and... I might've found a new favorite. I really love his route so far and I cannot wait to see more of him.
Just wanna ask if it's normal when the MC and Silas get inside the academy, the screen is just black but theres still dialogues tho and music. Theres just no background when they got inside the academy? Is it normal?? Im playing the android version btw. Thanks. And I love your game! Cant wait for the next update!
This VN is fabulous! The art, the music, the scenes, the transitions, the infinite fan of options, twists and outcomes! The dialogues are really smart. And... since I'm a 'patterns and combinations freak' almost reaching OCD (almost), I've spent all my weekend trying to figure out how stats assignment work. By now I've found some interesting patterns, which I'm not going to discuss here but... There's only one thing I really wish to know (if possible without spoiling): "What's the max number of stat points we can have (aside from our basic 10 for each attribute) before we get out PAL? I got a maximum of 18 so far (a couple which I don't feel too proud of, and might even be counterproductive for some routes).
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! Currently the stat you can get highest is charisma with a maximum of an additional 12 points for a score of 22. While trying to max that out, you can get other stats as well, but not many, 6 spread across. So with your 18, I believe you did achieve the maximum currently available in the game. The majority of stats will come later in the game as you make choices in your courses and other aspects of your new life in the game. Though, min/maxing stats won't be easy and sometimes, depending on your goals, it's not the best option either so you will need to choose wisely.
Thank you buddy! I got charisma to 19, I assumed it could go higher, but tried to choose answers that gave me intelligence and/or wisdom instead. Still wondering if I'm losing charisma without gaining another stat point though. But anyway I think I'm going with the stats I have now. And man, that scene with Qrom in the showers brings back so good memories hehe! Thank you for your amazing VN and the nice amount of fan service heh!
Haha no problem, happy to help. I figured it would be a nice addition to the beginning of the game to have the option of some nsfw stuff, but still be able to avoid it if you want. Also, good memories of another game or from real life?
Lmao, nice. I will not pry into that particular scenario. If it was a game, I was going to ask which and for more info so I didn't accidentally copy it XD
Just be cool, easy going, laid back, friendly, joke everytime you get the chance and be bold. That's what I did like everytime except for Aldric's route. I suspect being bold and buffoon might not be so good for Orion's route though, but I can't really tell.
That did seem to work as long as I had met Aldric, but if I meet Aldric, I already know my major before I meet Qrom, which means I don't need to wait for him. As far as I can determine, anyway.
Is it still possible to date all the canine main characters even though you are in one major in the future updates? If not, then welp I guess then I just have to reset back to day 1 in to get all routes completed hahaha
My goal is to not restrict who you can romance based on major. Depending on your major, you'll have more opportunities to spend time with one character over another in the beginning, but if you wanted to be a mage and romance Orion, you'd have opportunities. If you mean date them all at the same time, then I don't know about that lol.
Yey, thanks for clarifying. yep thats right, that's what I meant If I become a mage and date aldric, orion and etc.
btw just finished playing the new update, it was so great the main protagonist so relates to my personality when aldric teases the protag. why do I get the feeling that the professor of holy arts is going to steal aldric away from us hahaha
I'm loving this game and I'm a big fan of all the paths and characters, which isn't something I often find with VNs. I'm very excited to see this grow!
I noticed if you eat in the Cafeteria alone that Orion almost comes and joins you. Is there currently a path that gets him to join you or is it not yet implemented?
Wonderful game, its worth for waiting. I would like to give some suggestion.
Please modifiy the background(especially the maple leaf one) to less image noise or non-translucent the text box, the combination of sharp colour, image noise, semi-translucent text box with complicated pattern is eye hurting for reading...
Hey. I was trying to go to the furry paradise discord channel, but every time I click on it it just sends me to discord without the channel. Are sure the link is correct?
In order to get to his route, you need to have low charisma and lie to Silas. To achieve this, don't choose "love", "a lover" or "friends" and then lie to Silas when you first meet him. If he refuses to give you a ride then you are on the right track. 🙂
Sorry, might sound like stupid questions, but did you make sure to download the v 0.1.2 and also, did you load an old save or did you start a new game?
I'm not very familiar with Mac, but it sounds like Ren'Py may somehow be pulling from old save data even though you're starting a new game. I can only provide examples from a PC version, but Mac should be similar, just different file paths.
From what I can find online, you'll need to delete the save files in the game folder:
After you delete the saves from that folder, you'll want to find the When Stars Fall game directory in the RenPy folder since Ren'Py also creates it's own separate folder for saves from all the Ren'Py games you have.
From what I could find online for Mac it should be located in this generic area unless you saved it special when downloading:
game_directory is actually the name of the game you are looking for so:
Once you've deleted the saves from both locations, then you can start the game and it should all be reset, You should be able to get the new content. If it doesn't work, then I would repeat the steps above and uninstall/reinstall the game. If that stilldoesn't work then let me know and I can try reaching out to some other VN devs to see what insights they may have regarding the issue.
After going through Aldric's route, I think I might've found a bug where none of the characters appear in the Contacts. I went until the very end of the game and they still weren't there.
Yes, it is a bug. I forgot to put the correct flags for the screen. I'm working on fixing it though it may not be corrected till next update because the screen doesn't play a major role just yet aside from giving you an idea on your relationships with the characters.
So far so good i like the ambience of all BG its comforting.
Just wondering why the instance where we choose looking or be modest to aldric naked so different at the end? I thought it's should be same or switched (since modest mean more shy right?) where MC waking up flustered with Aldric.
Btw... it's so hard to pick with these sprite 😂
Orion : sexy and my bias towards wolf.
Reth : so hot with piercing.
Silas : prince charming.
Aldric : for the love of god, his body like god sculpt 😂
Qhor : im srry bayb too chonky and scary im too fragile and most of all not so into drunk piss.
I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and finding characters you like! I will look into the MC's reactions to make sure they seem plausible and align more with the situation and update as needed, thank you for that feedback :).
Also, the issue with the contacts is due to me forgetting to include the correct flags. It should be fixed in the next update. Since the screen hasn't played a major role in the game yet aside from letting you see the affection points, I'm not considering it a game breaking error to rush a patch out for.

It is what it is. What about the story? Did you get to write a good chunk of it in advance during the hiatus?
I've continued to work on the story while on hiatus as well as try to refine some of the UI. So, once the game comes back it should be a pretty big update (as long as I don't break anything in the code which is usually a 50/50 chance with me lol)

Pls, I really want the second update now
agghhh im missing this soo muchhhh, pain...
Are all the charcters on the right side of this page the love interests or are there only three?
All of them are love interests
Is there anywhere else I can listen to the opening music?
The main menu theme is Know Us by Anica Stemper (if this is the opening music you're referring to 🙂)
That's the one! Thanks.
No problem :)
Small(ish) nitpick but the directions to get back to the main hall from the administration area is incorrect.

Cool. What is the WSF guide? I wouldn't mind going through a few more times to check everything out with a guide for it.
There were many questions on different choices and what they affect so I made a guide a little while back and published the link to it in the April Touchbase 🙂.
https://mattmalificum.itch.io/when-stars-fall/devlog/244943/april-touchbase
When I imput the correct order and still got lost, I thought it was part of the story lol.
Yeah, me too LOL, I thought it had something to do with the magic stuff :V
Me encantó el juego, y realmente esperare por más, solo una pequeña cosa, y es que quisiera que se pudiera guardar al momento de tener que escoger las opciones, todo lo demás me encantó
I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. Also, you should be able to save the game at any time, even during the choices by hitting escape or right clicking.

Hope everything is going alright for you!🐊
Ohohoho
A familiar face (icon?) I see
I’m all over the place lmao
same here
Nsfw scenes?
Eventually there will be. Though they are a long way off for now
"Are beastman still hunted or treated like monsters?"
"Most nobles and politicians would tell you no, that beastman have been welcomed into society and have equal rights with the other humanoid races."
"In truth, there are still many beastman who are persecuted and killed for spite and sport. There are even rumours that beastman hides are sold at a high price in the black markets."

Can someone please tell me how to get Aldric route? I got to the sleeping part twice and haven't seen Aldric once yet (＠_＠;)
When you are on that ethereal plane before appearing in that new world you need to choose answers non related with love, feelings or relationships at all, and then you need to lie to Silas so he doesn't give you that ride.
Thank you so much because that's exactly the opposite of what I did :)
Yeah, that's like exactly the opposite of what everyone did too, so Mattmalificum had to explain it in some old post.
Hey Matt, how are you? Hope you haven't abandoned your game! We are still waiting for the update!
In a post on twitter, on May 29th, the dev said the project is still being worked on. An update is coming, but there is no release date yet.
Thanks for the info.
thx for all your work and keep it up!
I really enjoyed that brief story and hope that it gets developed till the end ;]]]
The entire experience was amazing! Looking for the next updates!
Can't wait until the next update!
this is a great game so far i see nothing wrong and my fav so far is Qrom the dragonkin I don't know what it is about him I like he just seems like a lade back guy and I guess that's why I like him. But all in all this is a great game can't wait for the update
Im not getting any furthur than me sleeping on every route (lol) but is that all.for every route or am i doing something wrong
Nah that's all untill the next update is released I believe.
o thanks cus I was confused😂
Man... just one night and I've already fell in love with Aldrien, and I accidently got all the nude scenes... why is this VN so perfect?
Hahahaha uh-huh "accidentally" ;D
Oh no... I got caught... well, I would say to keep the great work but... I won't. I will say, keep the PERFECT WORK you're doing such a good VN.
(つ≧▽≦)つ a hug for the creator for making this vn
D'aww, thanks! o(*^ ω^*)o
*hugs*
I cant wait for a day 2 with silas or orian
Orion*
Next update will have an additional day with all characters so you won't have to wait for either too long
When is the next update? I understand if you dont have an exact date tho
Not sure yet. I've got half of day 3 done for both the Mage and Fighter majors. I still have to finish the other half and the full day 3s for the other three majors. I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it lately so it's been slower going than usual. I want to say I hope before the end of May, but we'll see.

Aldric is a husband material ❤️
He's definitely a good boi

Does Qrom have a path yet? Is he romancible at all?
None of the characters really have much of a path yet. It's mostly just introducing them all so far. But yes, he will be a romance option.
Thank you. I did not see a link for a patreon page. Do you not have one?
I do, it's just an icon on the main page near the bottom. It's mostly just a "tip jar" since I can't promise monthly updates, but I do plan on updating the tiers soon to add early access and other perks.

how do i get aldric route?
EDIT: Nvm i found it
Between all the assignments and studying, I FINALLY got a chance to play through Aldric's route, and... I might've found a new favorite. I really love his route so far and I cannot wait to see more of him.
Just wanna ask if it's normal when the MC and Silas get inside the academy, the screen is just black but theres still dialogues tho and music. Theres just no background when they got inside the academy? Is it normal?? Im playing the android version btw. Thanks. And I love your game! Cant wait for the next update!
I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Yes, I didn't have a background for it yet so I left it black for that portion.
Ohh ok ok. Thanks!
I like the character's contrast so far. You rally can't say that "Oh, X is just X but more lively."
This VN is fabulous! The art, the music, the scenes, the transitions, the infinite fan of options, twists and outcomes! The dialogues are really smart. And... since I'm a 'patterns and combinations freak' almost reaching OCD (almost), I've spent all my weekend trying to figure out how stats assignment work. By now I've found some interesting patterns, which I'm not going to discuss here but... There's only one thing I really wish to know (if possible without spoiling): "What's the max number of stat points we can have (aside from our basic 10 for each attribute) before we get out PAL? I got a maximum of 18 so far (a couple which I don't feel too proud of, and might even be counterproductive for some routes).
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! Currently the stat you can get highest is charisma with a maximum of an additional 12 points for a score of 22. While trying to max that out, you can get other stats as well, but not many, 6 spread across. So with your 18, I believe you did achieve the maximum currently available in the game.

Still wondering if I'm losing charisma without gaining another stat point though. But anyway I think I'm going with the stats I have now. And man, that scene with Qrom in the showers brings back so good memories hehe! Thank you for your amazing VN and the nice amount of fan service heh!
Haha no problem, happy to help. I figured it would be a nice addition to the beginning of the game to have the option of some nsfw stuff, but still be able to avoid it if you want. Also, good memories of another game or from real life?
Real life with someone as bold and shameless as prof Qrom =P
Lmao, nice. I will not pry into that particular scenario. If it was a game, I was going to ask which and for more info so I didn't accidentally copy it XD
I may have to wait for the stat guide.. I've been trying to figure out how to get that scene and haven't had much success.
Just be cool, easy going, laid back, friendly, joke everytime you get the chance and be bold. That's what I did like everytime except for Aldric's route. I suspect being bold and buffoon might not be so good for Orion's route though, but I can't really tell.
That did seem to work as long as I had met Aldric, but if I meet Aldric, I already know my major before I meet Qrom, which means I don't need to wait for him. As far as I can determine, anyway.
Here's another
And another
Last one
never mind I did not mean this
Is it still possible to date all the canine main characters even though you are in one major in the future updates? If not, then welp I guess then I just have to reset back to day 1 in to get all routes completed hahaha
My goal is to not restrict who you can romance based on major.

btw just finished playing the new update, it was so great the main protagonist so relates to my personality when aldric teases the protag.
why do I get the feeling that the professor of holy arts is going to steal aldric away from us hahahaHaha
She's secretly the villain in your love storyIt's a great game and I love the art cant wait for the next update.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I'm loving this game and I'm a big fan of all the paths and characters, which isn't something I often find with VNs. I'm very excited to see this grow!

Also, no, there isn't a path for that particular scenario.
LMAO! I was here for a minute freaking out wondering how I made that major of an error then I realized it's just the name you used XD
Wonderful game, its worth for waiting. I would like to give some suggestion.
Please modifiy the background(especially the maple leaf one) to less image noise or non-translucent the text box, the combination of sharp colour, image noise, semi-translucent text box with complicated pattern is eye hurting for reading...
Thank you for the feedback. I will look into it further and see about changing filters/backgrounds/textbox.
Hey. I was trying to go to the furry paradise discord channel, but every time I click on it it just sends me to discord without the channel. Are sure the link is correct?
Sorry about that, the rest of the link hadn't copied over. This has been corrected and the link now works. Thank you for pointing this issue out 🙂
Can someone please tell me how to get to Aldric's route? I'm so confused
In order to get to his route, you need to have low charisma and lie to Silas. To achieve this, don't choose "love", "a lover" or "friends" and then lie to Silas when you first meet him. If he refuses to give you a ride then you are on the right track. 🙂
thank you :>
Still no Alderic for me, I tried this and it said route is a work in progress :(
Sorry, might sound like stupid questions, but did you make sure to download the v 0.1.2 and also, did you load an old save or did you start a new game?
I did do the download and started a new game, playing on a Mac.
I'm not very familiar with Mac, but it sounds like Ren'Py may somehow be pulling from old save data even though you're starting a new game. I can only provide examples from a PC version, but Mac should be similar, just different file paths.
From what I can find online, you'll need to delete the save files in the game folder:
After you delete the saves from that folder, you'll want to find the When Stars Fall game directory in the RenPy folder since Ren'Py also creates it's own separate folder for saves from all the Ren'Py games you have.
From what I could find online for Mac it should be located in this generic area unless you saved it special when downloading:
game_directory is actually the name of the game you are looking for so:
Once you've deleted the saves from both locations, then you can start the game and it should all be reset, You should be able to get the new content. If it doesn't work, then I would repeat the steps above and uninstall/reinstall the game. If that still doesn't work then let me know and I can try reaching out to some other VN devs to see what insights they may have regarding the issue.
After going through Aldric's route, I think I might've found a bug where none of the characters appear in the Contacts. I went until the very end of the game and they still weren't there.
Yes, it is a bug. I forgot to put the correct flags for the screen. I'm working on fixing it though it may not be corrected till next update because the screen doesn't play a major role just yet aside from giving you an idea on your relationships with the characters.
Oh, I just think we cannot know the affiliation anymore...
So far so good i like the ambience of all BG its comforting.
Just wondering why the instance where we choose looking or be modest to aldric naked so different at the end? I thought it's should be same or switched (since modest mean more shy right?) where MC waking up flustered with Aldric.
Btw... it's so hard to pick with these sprite 😂
Orion : sexy and my bias towards wolf.
Reth : so hot with piercing.
Silas : prince charming.
Aldric : for the love of god, his body like god sculpt 😂
Qhor : im srry bayb too chonky and scary im too fragile and most of all not so into drunk piss.
Ps: how come we got Reth contact but not aldric 😂
I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and finding characters you like! I will look into the MC's reactions to make sure they seem plausible and align more with the situation and update as needed, thank you for that feedback :).
Also, the issue with the contacts is due to me forgetting to include the correct flags. It should be fixed in the next update. Since the screen hasn't played a major role in the game yet aside from letting you see the affection points, I'm not considering it a game breaking error to rush a patch out for.
