I am not a furry nor do i usually play VN's but to tell the truth i thoroughly enjoyed the current demoed story line. some of the grammar and spelling made me laugh but i could not scoff at the raw emotion that the music and setting conveyed. the characters were genuine and understandable.
*spoilers from here on*
the dream sequence was very good. while cliche, the dream sequence definitely puts the player in her shoes when it comes to her worries and fears. the foreshadowing of her true enemy is incredibly strong though. most people would be able to devise a great deal of the plot from the dream sequence alone, and that can dampen some player's enjoyment of your story. well as far as the demo goes that is. Not sure how many twists and turns lie beyond. Once the dream sequence started, I knew exactly what was going on and i knew how that sequence would end as well. while i still fully enjoyed the sequence, i do wish it was a bit more subtle. overall 8/10. which is really good.
also if you need someone to review grammar and spelling in your narration I would be more than happy to help you.
I am so happy to see a furry VN that focuses on straight content, as every single other one is for the gays. Which is fine, but finally something I can enjoy. But I have a couple questions, which I will separate into spoiler and non-spoiler categories.
Non-Spoiler
#1. How much impact do the choices we make have, and more importantly are the choices apparent? There's a difference between knowing if your choices might mean something, and not being sure if choosing for something mundane (like the choice to smash a tree, boulder or the sky) will kill all of your favorite characters. It's all in the writing, which so far has been wonderful (save a few typos), evidenced by the fact I just sat here for a couple hours reading.
#2. On that note, how does the "narrator" part we play factor in? So far we have only made decisions in the shoes of Naja,(to my memory) meaning we aren't really narrating. Now if you mean Narrator as in someone with no real input in the story but reads it as a book instead of being a character in the story like most VNs, then I guess well done, but I took it as we were Storytellers here, not spectators with minimal input.
#3. Will the finished product cost money? I can't find if this is the case anywhere, and it's a fair question. It certainly has the potential for the quality to be monetized, but personally it's hard to buy things for technology reasons.
Spoiler
#1. Holy hell is it possible that the ending has a chance of being... not so bleak? Like via choices. Did I just make bad choices, or is the only ending the one that kills my favorite ship, all the Protagonist's friends, and a seven year old girl, while locking the hero away suddenly and without warning? Please tell me there's a chance things can end better, at least a little bit. For my soul?
#2. Towards the end there, I wasn't sure what was going on there, but that may just be me. Alternate timelines? Time travel? A really bad trip into insanity at the loss of her only child? If we are a pseudo-narrator, why are we in the dark too? I'm sure that will be explained too, but still, lots of things happened with no clear explanation. Maybe that was the point.
I am keeping in mind that this is an alpha, and all this may be fixed already (I am using 0.4.0, the one available here), but any feedback is good feedback right? Your game was an amazing experience, even for an alpha, and I will eagerly enjoy further updates hoping for a less depressing end. Best of luck to you all!
Apologies for the delay! It means a lot to hear such admiration for our little passion project! And we are always open for feedback as well and will try to keep an S rank quality to our story!
Non-Spoiler: 1. Since the start of our development, the alpha build currently consist of one route that will act as a catalyst for all the various routes that will be installed later down the line. Naja, being the main character, helps deliver a feel of the story and the possible impacts that could be made, hence why we've focus mainly on her thus far. Yet her story will not be the only driving force. Several other characters will be traversed and their actions can and will impact various outcomes to the third act. (Be it impactful bonds, character deaths, etc) We will see about high lightening the most important choices in later updates.
2.) We are aiming to replace the opening sequence to a more reasonable introduction to the story, via a bard. Through him, and audience request, we'll open more options to how the story will expand.
3.) Currently we are offering most open demos of the game for free. That said we do aim to see about selling it onto stream and such. With such great talent going behind this project, we can only hope to make bread for all the work gone into Regal Tails.
As far as spoilers go, there will be a good number of endings...which will be far more bleaker then this current one! :D
But rest assure, you would only get said outcomes if you truly messed things up. Many endings will be happy, somber, and bitter sweet outside the bad ones. Do feel free to stay tuned until then! ^.~
Just wanted to leave my thoughts here after playing your demo.
At some points in the story I kinda had to skip dialogue. Maybe the clock that has made me a bit impatient, but sometimes it just didn't really feel like the narrative is getting me anywhere.
That would be totally okay if it was for character development, which it is in some way or another, if the characters wouldn't be flushed down the toilet right after.
Spoiler alert for anyone reading this who didn't play it yet.
Building up characters in one hour of reading, only to kill off everything you learned to know immediatly for shock value or convincing me that she needs to go on an epic quest for revenge seems kinda weird and off-putting to me. Especially if considerate neutral guy turns 100% evil and bloodthirsty in the next scene we see him, only to be killed and revived afterwards for us to get introduced to a revival mechanic which makes people unnecessarily confused. It makes me want to stop right there, because I assume this will just happen over and over.
I loved most of what I've seen until shock-value burning forest came around. There was obviously quite some work and effort put into this which is why I'm quite sad to leave it with a rather bad impression for now. Maybe it's just hard, especially in a demo, to find the right balance between "plot-armor" and "glass-cannon" presentation.
I absolutly don't have a clue what you have in store for us and if all of these things make sense and have rules and are grounded in this fantasy setting, but I trust you in delivering something of quality.
From what you can see here, I'm already quite invested in the development process of this game and I'm looking forward to what you're going to make of it! Best of luck!
From what I superficially can see you really are doing an amazing job with this, what I assume is your first project. I am saying superficial, because I can't play it. I am 19, but I don't have a private pc.
Even if playing awsome crafted gay furry visual novels like for example Password, Tennis Ace and Wolfstar Sins and Paradise is a pleasure to me I would definetly like to take a look at Regal Tails. Here's my question: Are you planning on releasing an Android version anytime soon or in the future?
Above I read you are willing to 'change things up', so has anyone asked about one route (for now maybe) with a different orientation? I would consider to become a patron in the future.
The artwork in the pictures is pretty great, for a visual novel, I have to admit and reminds me of Blackgate, a former successful now pretty much abandoned project. If the story is as fantastic as the art I can see your project working out. ;)
I hope you will farther have alot of fun creating Regal Tails and not get tired of it, like the original Morenatsu team or Bane (Blackgate). :)
Sorry for any butchered English. I'm tired right now and from Germany...
hello and thank you oh so very much for feeling so kindly about our little project!
To answer your questions:
We're going to include a lot more scenes and characters to the current built as well as improve existing scenes. In the future we're even hoping to include voice actors as well!
That said, all that programming into our game takes up space. Space in which Android has a strict limitation on app games. Sadly our current build cant be processed onto an android properly, but if you were to follow our patreon link you can find a link to a previous build of our game fitted for android! (Again, it's not up to date, so if you wish to know what happens next, you might wanna see what YouTubers have picked in game ^^;)
I was really hoping Solair didn't die I liked his character he deserved a chance with Naja in my honest opinion Im hoping soon to see this in steam as a finished product
A great game! The art works and CGIs are as good as the story telling. Hope to see an update or the full game release in the nearest futur. Keep going with the good work!
I just want to say... waw, the story is amazing, and the charachters are attaching. Just a little bit disapointed with solair's death... i really liked him UwU...
I just can't wait for the next update, i really need to know the rest of the story!
I would like if you had options, like before Naja goes to fight, you have an option that had to do with Migina, that if you choose a certain one she doesn't die.
All I can say is, oh my god! I've played a fair few VN's before, but this one's on a whole other level. The story, visuals, and the music left me in awe at every second playing this. Very much a well done for what you've done so far, and I can't wait for the full release.
Oh my god I just finished the demo after like 3+ hours (felt like a lot more but I didn't count) and I absolutely can't wait for the full release! I'll buy it instantly! I just hope the end section was some kind of a dream she had while being passed out because I REALLY loved Solaire's character!
My heart, My Soul, My sleeping schedule is now ruined by this game. It has all the things needed for a tale that will last. Some bits of humor, tragidy, romance even. Its's just... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I think visual novel writers and artists should always consider to add or change a scene or two.
I guess it's true that mobile devices can't handle pc programms, at least for now, though in the future...
Thank you for the fast reply. I downloaded the demo and will play it some time soon.
I actually watch visual novel YouTubers and it is possible that they will play Regal Tails.
I followed you on Patreon. :)
Amazing game
Probably one of the most intense VNs I've played in a LONG time, with some of the most gorgeous artwork to boot...
I was really hoping Solair didn't die I liked his character he deserved a chance with Naja in my honest opinion Im hoping soon to see this in steam as a finished product
Not saying anything... But you should hang on just a little bit longer ;)
A great game! The art works and CGIs are as good as the story telling. Hope to see an update or the full game release in the nearest futur. Keep going with the good work!
I just want to say... waw, the story is amazing, and the charachters are attaching. Just a little bit disapointed with solair's death... i really liked him UwU...
I just can't wait for the next update, i really need to know the rest of the story!
All in good time...some things will be tweaked around with...but overall, you won't be disappointed uwu
I would like if you had options, like before Naja goes to fight, you have an option that had to do with Migina, that if you choose a certain one she doesn't die.
With this being an alpha build, rest assure we're putting much more into Regal Tails pass this free demo of ours! ^_~
And also, don't think I dislike the story as is, I love the art and characters! And thank you for the reply :<
No worries on at all! The point of feedback is to improve...and trust us, it will get much much better ;)
Is there a Discord server or Subreddit where I can get notified about updates\just chat about the game? That'd be really awesome!
I'm pretty sure there's something about a Discord server on the games Patreon
We're currently in a close discord for patrons only, but feel free to check out our twitter where we keep stuff up to date on there as well! ^^
All I can say is, oh my god! I've played a fair few VN's before, but this one's on a whole other level. The story, visuals, and the music left me in awe at every second playing this. Very much a well done for what you've done so far, and I can't wait for the full release.

Absolutely love this game so far! Really exciting stuff and I can't wait to see more ;)
