Great stuff! And though it'll be sad that we won't be getting any future updates with our lovable idiots for a long while, Canterlot Exchange has piqued my interest quite a bit so I'll for sure check it out when it's done.
I know many others are disappointed and it's understandable seeing how long it's been without seeing these characters again and the latest update mostly just enhances the overall game. I would be lying if I said that I didn't wish we saw more of the characters in the update, but I still think we should be thankful that we're getting a good sendoff and hopefully something more in the future. They've shown that they communicate with their community frequently rather than stay radio silent and let us never forget, we're paying them squat! We get all this quality writing for free so be a little more understanding you fuckers!
Anyways, Great job to the devs as always and I'll see you all soon when the sun explodes and Operation Novel Season 2 is complete.
Considering that the update was already prefaced to be a clean up of all the previous content, I can't say I'm disappointed like some people seem to be. I knew what I was getting from this and it seems to have been a nice polishing of the previous version.
Overall I enjoyed the new additions, small as they may be, since they were able to lightly enhance what was already there and good.
Mostly I'm just glad to see that there is another release, especially one that can mark something off the todo list. Hopefully next release is before 2030.
Hey, I know this was not precisely an update with ten extra hours of content but, as a KND diehard, I appreaciate all the efforts your team is making and I hope to see more in the future.
Do you know what else? I have never been into My little pony, but Canterlot Exchange got my attention and I will be there ready to try it when it comes.
I can perfectly imagine the script of each chapter of N.O.V.E.L as an official one and I know you are putting heart, flesh, blood and soul in this.
P.S: not many people talk about the music, but Rodrick Scorpion made a great work here.
Not as much content as I was expecting, but definitely a good polish on what was previously made. Since Season 2 is set to come out "soon...ish", I'm assuming a 2027 release date and will go into hibernation until then.
1. In the new expansion of chapter 1, the one where we meet Sonia, there is a problem with the textbox overlay.
While it's cool that it looks like old CRT monitor, it is misaligned with the text, so it cuts off the bottom-most line of the dialogue. I had to use "dialog" button to see what was cut off.
I noticed the same problem with the "recordings" as well. I had to use "history" tab to see what was cut off in Sandra's recording.
I suggest putting text higher when that overlay is displayed.
2. Clicking on the Kuddlefury links in the "Order of the furry paw" causes my game to crash.
3. I was genuinely sad that the main theme was changed.
Don't get me wrong, the new there is good in isolation.
BUT the old one is so iconic to me... I really miss it when I open the game.
Maybe add an option to choose what kind of main theme plays when game is in main menu? Like, put that option in "config" or something?
Nothing new got added, waited a year or so and this was it ? It said end of episode 5 and there was like 1 picture new, nothing in gallary or mini cg added, i feel so scammed.... even download says now act 1 demo
Yeah, in the devlog 'Veterans day' they changed their plans, they decided that the best place to end the season WAS episode 3, so this update is basically just a re-polishing of the entire game, adding text, comic strips, ect.
sorry for our bad behaviour me and others are just excited about the update and we really love this game it's just when you love something it's hard to be always patience sorry again take your time with the game
Now that I think about it different timezones really screw up making precise dates of releases.
Like, when you release a new update in a specific day, which timezone you should be using? The one from the country from which you come from? Or something more 'universal' like European timezone?
I guess this is another headscratcher that comes from making a game with international audience...
I'm here waiting today is the day of the update we waited for it at it Will released by anytime now
Thanks for the homeschool studies for this masterpiece it was something better than other games and it give me a Rare feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction it does very well and it's a hidden gem I'm happy that I got the chance to play it thanks again may God bless you all
I don't really see the point in saying this isn't a porn game just because it has great writing and fantastic humor.
This IS a porn game, AND it has amazing writing, that's what makes it so good. It really does a lot to capture the style of the KND cartoon and yet include explicit sexual scenes in a way that's believable within the setting. I could see Numbuhs 1 to 5 getting into some of the hijinks the characters in this one get into.
For anyone out here looking for a porn game, this is not the game for you. This game has the occasional shot of nudity and risqué humor.
If you are looking for a game with a funny cast/moments, great storytelling, and amazing music, this is your game. It is a visual novel game (aka, its basically a TV show with extra steps) but it does it right. This game feels like 2000s Cartoon Network. The jokes, the character interactions, the way the plot progresses, it all feels like this is a show CN would air if it (minus the 18+ aspects of course.) I'm gonna stop here to save you all from an essay.
This was my favorite experience on Itch.Io so far. Anon did an excellent job on this. The only negative I left with is that it leaves me craving for more, that's how good it is.
At this point I won't be surprised if we got GTA VI before the next update or even devlog, shit's taking longer than Nintendo making a new Super Mario Bros game.
Edit: and just a day after this they make a new devlog, as expected with my plan. Reverse psicology works wonders
Normally I dont like visual novels but this one has been extremely enjoyable the story was great,the character personality were amazing my favorite character was Betsy I absolutely loved her smug attitude she got going on.There 2 surprises that I did not see coming the first was the 2 animated scene I loved those segments and thought the animation was pretty good the second was Jojo reference and how you manage to fit it to the story narrative.Overall 10/10 I look forward to this series continuation

That's it?
Had to create an account just to say this update has as much content as a bug fix update
this was NOT worth the wait
Alright, all the little issues with text and crashing should be resolved. Thanks for the feedback, y’all. If you find anything let us know.

The only thing that I would change right now is to add another background picture to the "Anon attacks enemy base to steal their chili recipe" arc.
Right now when Anon destroys tv by accident, the background picture is not changed to reflect that.
It's especially noticeable because the camera pans to the intact tv, while the text says it got 'destroyed'.
Not only that, but there is a version of that background picture with said tv destroyed! (and an angry girl glued to the floor via bubblegum)
It would be simple to use 'lasso' tool to select the destroyed tv in said picture and then 'paste' it onto the original one!
Please do this guys, the lack of destroyed tv really triggers my autism ;x

Okay, I finally played through season 1
There are a few things that bugs me off:

I don't want to sound rude or anything but what was added? I still only see 3 episodes
You have to play through episode 3 to get the new episode
at what point does it unlock? i had a save right as the "end of episode 3" text appeared also right before that text it says "end of season one"
I just started the episode skipped through then at the end it unlocked
just unlocked episode 4 and i think it's for chapter/season 2
i got it thanks, doesn't seem like much though but still
Yeah, in the devlog 'Veterans day' they changed their plans, they decided that the best place to end the season WAS episode 3, so this update is basically just a re-polishing of the entire game, adding text, comic strips, ect.
Play through episode 3 to get the new episode
It's finally here :D
Going to prank Anondive when ACT I releases
Kek. Check the devlog. Irrelevant is just getting some stuff fixed.
of course, take as much time as you guys need!
sorry for our bad behaviour me and others are just excited about the update and we really love this game it's just when you love something it's hard to be always patience sorry again take your time with the game
Lol. Nothing to be sorry about, boss. Hope y'all enjoy.
FINALLY! ILY
2 thousands years later... its past 5 already....
I think it's should be in 30 minutes
I think ur wrong
A-a-any minute now.... Right?
Any time now. We ran into an issue or two while we were getting it ready last night. Irrelevant is getting it all handled.
soon...........
Very much looking forward to that new update. Solid VN so far. Can't wait to see how the first season wraps up.
Cmon, almost there!
we are so close
Lol. Probably gonna be fairly late in the night tonight.
Oof.
Any time now
Any time tomorrow~.
(:
Now that I think about it different timezones really screw up making precise dates of releases.
Like, when you release a new update in a specific day, which timezone you should be using? The one from the country from which you come from? Or something more 'universal' like European timezone?
I guess this is another headscratcher that comes from making a game with international audience...
the difference between the place iam and USA is 7 Hours you can imagine how this is annoying
the game is good, though it wouldnt hurt for more porn in a porn game, it is a good game none the less. Can't wait to see more.
I see it better focusing on jokes and situations
The (relative) tameness of the game is what adds to the charm. TBH
I predict that the update will come out on December 20th... at 11:59PM.
still waiting
Yes :'3
I believe I speak for all of us when I say that my feelings today can best be expressed in this Phineas and Ferb song.
I'm here waiting today is the day of the update we waited for it at it Will released by anytime now
Thanks for the homeschool studies for this masterpiece it was something better than other games and it give me a Rare feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction it does very well and it's a hidden gem I'm happy that I got the chance to play it thanks again may God bless you all
Is there a walkthrough for this in case I miss something? If so can someone tell me where to find it?

Can someone say are this porn game or not?
Yes, but only barely
