Fucking kickass vn my dude. Really digging the 80:s old school like synthwave and industrial metal soundtrack. Made me pumped while playing. Good shit!!
Thanks! Yeah, I wanted a consistent theme in the soundtrack so I went for futuristic synth to fit with the sci-fi setting. I'm glad people are liking it.
I did encounter issues in android ver, most of those are "couldn't find file gui/popup/...-neutral.png". I hope u will fix it soon cause I wanna play it as soon as possible. Thank u and love u UwU
I'm working hard on it at the moment and I think soon I'll post an update. Arts almost complete, there's around 3 or so things we need to do. After that its just a matter of putting music and sound effects in which I'm working on. So, hopefully soon!
I think that the font could be bigger,so its easier to read or just black, as now maybe also due the font style idk, feels like its grayish text on white. Other than that small critic, the game feels pretty good.
This novel is amazing! I really like the story and all! I really like how different this is, though I do really love cliche stuff- Gil is a very gud boi and I would absolutely give him some pats and scratches on his head
At the moment no and I'm not sure when or even if that will change. It does have some fanservice elements here and there though so if that strikes your fancy I 'spose.
The game really blew me away to be honest, it is packed with so much detail and care. Like how you have a UI that shows which form (A or B) you are in, resonance levels, and such. Very immersive I must say.
*spoiler warning*
I especially loved the fight against the I.C.O, you really managed to make the entire moment extremely tense. My heart was racing during that scene haha.
Will be keeping a close eye on this project, looking forward to what's next :D!
Thanks! :> Update 0.3.5 should be coming out soon which will be redoing some art and a lot of the first build so look forward to it! I think it's been improved drastically.
So I noticed the picture on the right looked different from my play-through, namely the CG with blood running down Judah's face. Does this change how the story plays out any, if at all?
It's primarily for flavor depending on what choice you make when fighting the first I.C.O. It also gets mentioned offhand later on but it doesn't have any real significance.
Yay thanks! And no not at the moment but I do plan on starting one eventually. I just need to build up a decent enough following first y'know? I'm not sure exactly when but hopefully soon.
Oh the Android version's actually out now. And I'm trying to find an artist to commission for a thumbnail update. Last one I tried never responded back so... Yeah. As for PaleAngel's question, I.O.O. will be for the most part a kinetic VN so romance will be beyond the player's control. Hope that clears that up. :)
I think I remember talking with him about this and him confirming it, a while ago, though there's only one way to find out... scroll back in time. Let me check real quick.
Okay, I found nothing. So I was wrong. Let's see if Cetus answers any time soon.
I.C.O. is mainly a kinetic VN so there won't be routes exactly. Romancing any character I guess isn't a controllable option but rather whatever works for the story. I hope that's a sufficient answer XP.
That's not to say romance elements won't be in the game necessarily but they'll be beyond the control of the player. Who knows? Judah could develop feelings for Gil or Shay and we can see something like that happen.
ok just hovering to this i liked so much the character i had to give a look to this and i can say i'm not regretting it instead i reaaaally love this, if i had more money than i needed to live i would have supported you with somehing. really nice job.
Hey Cetus! How can I support you with a little tip? :) I rather spend my money on you, visual novel creators, than buy useless things I won't need anyway...
OOOOOOH, that explains how Bach's original canon in D sounded very similar, i knew i had heard it somewere. Well none the less thanks a bunch this really made my day.
Yeah I was trying to say the hangar was louder instead but... Yeah. I'm planning on doing some fixed to build 0.1 too so thanks for pointing it out! :)
I. Love. This. It's a great start, but sadly only a start. This has great potential and I want to see this grow into a fully fledged VN. As a VN it has more maneuverability than a tv show, anime, book, or movie. If done well this VN could be beyond popular. To Cetus, I want to see you and this project grow, I can't really offer you any support but I want to reccomend getting a patreon. And please, be safe with this corona coming around!
(edit)
There is just something about the music and ambiance that goes well with the theme and novel. Real classy
Thanks a bunch for the wholesome comment! I want to make sure I.C.O.'s the best it can be with my resources so perhaps opening up a Patreon in the future wouldn't hurt. Maybe at my 5k mark I'll consider. But anyways, Build 2 is entering its editing phase as I'm just about done writing it all out. I hope to release it by the end of this month so look forward to it :)
I'd say you're off to a solid start! At first I didn't think I'd be into it; I'll admit, mecha generally isn't my thing, but I was actually kind of surprised by how much I enjoyed this demo. I'm no professional critic or anything, but you did a really good job describing Judah's exam in the first scene, I was feeling a little tense myself just reading it! I'm also really liking the cast of characters you've introduced so far. We haven't had much time with them yet, sure, but already I'm getting the sense that there's a lot of personality in Judah's squad.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one for the next few updates at least. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. ^^
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's only just getting started but I do hope I'm glad I made a good first impression. I really want this to be a success so I'm giving it my damnedest effort.
Really loving what you made so far. Do you maybe have Patreon? You should open an account so people can support you, like most other visual novel creators.
The character interactions feel natural. Obviously we don't know much about the story, like at all for now, but I have some ideas for what is going on. I wouldn't call it equal to Pacific Rim, though it's where you got the concept from, propably.
How the furs are connected to the “big robotic creature-like machines" (have they got a name yet?) is intuitive/futuristic. I like it. The music seems nice too, but I was not fixated on it, so... The character art stands out from the backgrounds, which is another positive thing. These backgrounds however are rather simple. To me personally it's no big deal. Most important, in my eyes, are the characters, the plot and the story. Music is a welcoming addition.
Thanks so much for your support! I actually have never watched Pacific Rim, but this was primarily inspired by Evangelion and Gurren Lagan. The robots are named Ferals btw. I put it in there a few times. Work is currently being done to spruce up some background art right now. Once that's done, work on the second build will begin. Stick around :)
Also, no I don't have a Patreon yet. If this project gets bigger, I'll definitely look into it.
No problem. :) I'm always interested in new VN's and their creators.
Oh... What a surprise! Unlike many other people I found Pacific Rim 1 quite enjoyable. Maybe, Idk, if I'd rewatch, I'd reconsider this opinion.
I do watch anime, but so far I was sceptical toward those two. Honestly, there are way too many well done anime and some are soo long. (HxH for instance, last ark is phenomenal and very dark)
Right, right... Ferals (I read the game, yes... and stumbled over this term/name haha)
You should. I only heard of the (first) Stormsinger Team, who don't take any fundings, to honor the developers of the original Morenatsu game. All the others gladly accept some pennies. ;)
This is obviously very early stages, but I'm confused why this game is tagged as "gay" since there is no indication anywhere that any of the characters are LGBT.

any news?
At this rate I think I'll have 3.5. out by the end of the month. I'll make a post about it thanks for reminding me.
The game is good the art should be a bit better . But except i it's pretty cool
Thank you. Yeah we're currently working on an art update so it should hopefully fix that issue soon.
public release soon?
Working on 0.4.5. so hopefully soon. It's an art update with some rewritten scenes. May post an update on it soon.
I haven't played yet but are there love interest's, if there is how many?
I am planning for Judah to develop a feelings for someone as the story progresses. So... One I guess XP.
Fucking kickass vn my dude. Really digging the 80:s old school like synthwave and industrial metal soundtrack. Made me pumped while playing. Good shit!!
Thanks! Yeah, I wanted a consistent theme in the soundtrack so I went for futuristic synth to fit with the sci-fi setting. I'm glad people are liking it.
I sense Judah x Gil... Can't wait to see that!
glad to see you're enjoying it 030
Add to my collection :D
I did encounter issues in android ver, most of those are "couldn't find file gui/popup/...-neutral.png". I hope u will fix it soon cause I wanna play it as soon as possible. Thank u and love u UwU
Yeah. I'm working on fixing it rn so hopefully it'll be up soon.
is there an estimate on when a new chapter will be out
I'm working hard on it at the moment and I think soon I'll post an update. Arts almost complete, there's around 3 or so things we need to do. After that its just a matter of putting music and sound effects in which I'm working on. So, hopefully soon!
I gave my review around an hour and a half ago I hope this vn keeps being awesome
Alright thanks!
I really like the transitions between chapters, really cool!
And of course, obligatory Gil is best boi!
yis thanks! glad to see people like gil
I think that the font could be bigger,so its easier to read or just black, as now maybe also due the font style idk, feels like its grayish text on white.
Other than that small critic, the game feels pretty good.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it and try to adjust it.
This novel is amazing! I really like the story and all! I really like how different this is, though I do really love cliche stuff-
Gil is a very gud boi and I would absolutely give him some pats and scratches on his head
Thanks! And yis, Gil is a gud boi.
If you take your time since the truth is that I like the work you do to your visual novel ps: My favorite character in this novel is Gil nwn
Aww thanks! And yis. Gil is a gud boi.
Is this game nsfw
At the moment no and I'm not sure when or even if that will change. It does have some fanservice elements here and there though so if that strikes your fancy I 'spose.
Is there a dedicated place to report bugs or spelling and grammar errors?
Hrm not at the moment no. If you have issues I guess the comments is the best place currently.
The game really blew me away to be honest, it is packed with so much detail and care. Like how you have a UI that shows which form (A or B) you are in, resonance levels, and such. Very immersive I must say.
*spoiler warning*
I especially loved the fight against the I.C.O, you really managed to make the entire moment extremely tense. My heart was racing during that scene haha.
Will be keeping a close eye on this project, looking forward to what's next :D!
Thanks so much! It means a lot to me that people are really digging this project. ^^
No windows update?
What? Uh... I'm looking at it and it should be there huh... Hold up.
EDIT: I did a stupid and I set the file to hide for some reason lol. It's good now!
Oh, okay. I was worried that there was a problem or you had forgot to add it. LOL
Five stars from me! This is indeed fresh and new in the Furry VN genre, I can't wait for more!
Thanks! :> Update 0.3.5 should be coming out soon which will be redoing some art and a lot of the first build so look forward to it! I think it's been improved drastically.
Good update! Chapter 3's intro made me chuckled more than i should.
Fairly unimportant question, but why is this game no longer in furry's top rated page? i was 2 weeks behind because of it.
I'm not sure why honestly. Maybe I'm falling behind in terms of ratings? I dunno I'm at 50 rn. Hope it doesn't impact it too negatively anyways...
So I noticed the picture on the right looked different from my play-through, namely the CG with blood running down Judah's face. Does this change how the story plays out any, if at all?
It's primarily for flavor depending on what choice you make when fighting the first I.C.O. It also gets mentioned offhand later on but it doesn't have any real significance.
Oh okay...also when I replayed it to get that CG, it didn't load :(
Oh! Thanks for saying. I'll get to fixing that ASAP.
I am in love! Do you have a Patreon?
Yay thanks! And no not at the moment but I do plan on starting one eventually. I just need to build up a decent enough following first y'know? I'm not sure exactly when but hopefully soon.
Sounds good! I'm looking forward to it ^-^
Can you tell me when the android version will appoximately be ready?
Oh and also, maybe you should update the thumbnail to make the game look more appealing. I want you to have more recognition!
Am also interested in @PaleAngel_90's question~
Oh the Android version's actually out now. And I'm trying to find an artist to commission for a thumbnail update. Last one I tried never responded back so... Yeah. As for PaleAngel's question, I.O.O. will be for the most part a kinetic VN so romance will be beyond the player's control. Hope that clears that up. :)
That's a bummer, but thanks for answering. :)
Can you romance Shay or Gil?
All of them, I'm sure.
I guess we'll have to wait until the creator confirms or denies it...
I think I remember talking with him about this and him confirming it, a while ago, though there's only one way to find out... scroll back in time. Let me check real quick.
Okay, I found nothing. So I was wrong. Let's see if Cetus answers any time soon.
I.C.O. is mainly a kinetic VN so there won't be routes exactly. Romancing any character I guess isn't a controllable option but rather whatever works for the story. I hope that's a sufficient answer XP.
Pity, I was looking forward to romance Shay or Gil...
That's not to say romance elements won't be in the game necessarily but they'll be beyond the control of the player. Who knows? Judah could develop feelings for Gil or Shay and we can see something like that happen.
I really enjoyed my initial run of the game, and the story is pretty awesome! I'll be looking forward to the next update!
Awesome! Thanks so much! I'll be working extra hard on the next one :>
ok just hovering to this i liked so much the character i had to give a look to this and i can say i'm not regretting it instead i reaaaally love this, if i had more money than i needed to live i would have supported you with somehing. really nice job.
yaaaaaay! thank yah! :>
Hello, just gonna drop by and say what a great chapter 2! It surely made me crave for more!
Thanks a bunch! Worked real hard on it.
yay Part 2
Now Cetus can work even harder now!
plz no!
Y'all did great, congrats! :D
Here's to V2! Cheers!
Yes indeedy. Enjoy!
Cheers to the fastest reply in the west as well! XD
Hey Cetus! How can I support you with a little tip? :) I rather spend my money on you, visual novel creators, than buy useless things I won't need anyway...
Or do you maybe have a patron page?
I don't have a Patreon yet but I think you can donate by clicking on the downloads. Thanks so much for the donation it means alot! :)
could somebody help me with the menu music, i can't find the name of the song/tune anywhere and i don't know how to find it
It's a cover of Bach's Canon in D by Kevin Macleod.
OOOOOOH, that explains how Bach's original canon in D sounded very similar, i knew i had heard it somewere. Well none the less thanks a bunch this really made my day.
no problemo! :)
Just wondering, is there going to be an error reporting system other than comments?
At the moment not yet but please report any errors in the comments you see until I get a better system. :)
Will do.
Nope, that is definitely not a common english thing, it's just a typo.
Yeah I was trying to say the hangar was louder instead but... Yeah. I'm planning on doing some fixed to build 0.1 too so thanks for pointing it out! :)
I. Love. This. It's a great start, but sadly only a start. This has great potential and I want to see this grow into a fully fledged VN.

This is obviously very early stages, but I'm confused why this game is tagged as "gay" since there is no indication anywhere that any of the characters are LGBT.
Yeah, that was made in anticipation for the future but I'll change it now as not to sound misleading.
So, will it not be nsfw or only for now?
(I'm... curious)
Hmm... Dunno yet.
This is really good can't wait for more in the next update.
Thanks! I'll be sure to work hard on the next update.
