really enjoyed this!! I didn't expect to get so much content out of it (took me an entire afternoon)
I think it's really great that you also get such wholesome interactions with the side characters. I got attached to them even though usually I just focus on the LI
(also as much as I liked sweet Mitra, my fav was Reksa even though all he did was hiss lmfaoo💀)
PLS, INI LUCU BANGET!!! I LOVE IT TOO MUCH, I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME NON-STOP. SOMEONE TAKE MY LAPTOP AWAY!!! Great job btw dear developer!! I can't wait for your next project!! And please do tell me if you already publish a game other than this, I will gladly play it!!
Aaaa, makasih, Jajajacece~ Congrats ud berhasil slesein smua route ny! Sneng rasany ad org indo yg suka >///< I'm still working on my 2nd project but it shouldn't be long now, Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle will definitely be released this year! I hope when the time comes, I'll be able to see you here again :'3 I look forward to hear your thoughts!
Amazing game even though it felt so short! I honestly would love to see a sequel at some point that expands even more lore between the two races and the return of the love interests at some point! Who knows? Maybe we might get a "small" surprise later on if it gets to that point? I'm curious to see what more you could expand on this, as well as your other game (I haven't played it so bear with me. I'm just a stickler for games like this XD). Honestly I was kind of expecting some of the storylines to not interact or intersect so much since it brought some confusion (I never visited Rama once and still managed to trigger some events that made little sense with the komodo's love choice). I'm assuming that has more than likely approved though so I'm not one to judge too bad on that. Coding can be quite a challenge when it comes to such formulas in multiple choices and how all of it interacts depending on what choices you've made to unlock certain scenarios that require a certain "checkpoint" that can require more coding. Still amazing work though!
Thank you and congrats on finishing the game, Tailbolt! Winged Ones is my first VN that I made, so I understand the flaws that you've pointed out >_< You're right in saying, coding is challenging, because I still remember the first day I learned how to change the background and it was not fun lol. Lots of trials and errors! *SPOILER ALERT* If I remember correctly, the event you're talking about is the one where Rama threaten you with a knife? or is it the one where Rama ran away & people are looking for him? the first event should be able to be avoided if you choose to visit Reksa but I could be wrong, it has been a long time so the details are fuzzy in my mind. But yes, the second event is unavoidable due to Rama's mental condition. It is both a closure and the consequence of his neglience.
In any case, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed yourself ^///^ Thank you for giving my game a chance and for dropping by to let me hear your thoughts! I hope to see you again in my next game, Bermuda xoxo,
Oh I'm playing the new one right now! By the way, if you do need a different application to make VN games, I know there is one called "VN Maker" that can be used and is available on Steam. Of course, it might be something you might have to get used to (and last I checked it might be just a little spendy. It probably has changed since I got it) but just a suggestion if you are thinking of looking for other platforms to use or try out! :3
It's hard to choose a favorite but Reksa might be my favorite, his bad end really had me in my feelings and I enjoy his kind of character (don't get me wrong though, I love all the LIs but something about guys with black hair haha, shame we don't see more of Reksa's hair down, a sight to see)
I do play a lot of otome vns, I chose to play this one because it was diferent to me and I enjoyed the artwork.
I think the best element to me was the storyline, artwork and the characters.
How come the endgame didn't come with a pair of wings for Tamara?/hj lmao, this game seriously made me crave for a avian fl haha. The song during the credits was effy to me, I couldn't understand the words, I kind of wish that on Rama's good route his sprite actually showed he took off his earring and Mitra's sprite was messy on some expressions, there was smudges past the lines and there were a fefw errors in spelling if I remember correctly-
Hi, Nameless! Thanks for sparing your time to answer my questions! Ah, Reksa is still the all time favorite I see XD And now that you mention it; Reksa with his hair down will definitely be a sight to see! I wonder why I didn't think of it sooner, I could've make a CG or two. I think he's the type that gets hotter as he gets older (He age like fine wine--I mean, look at his father).
I'm flattered that you like most of the game's elements QuQ Credits to my proofreaders who have made the story several times better! They have made my grammar so much better but somehow, I think some still managed to avoid our radars so do excuse us for that ^^;
And yes! I'm also looking forward for more fantasy VNs with winged characters or even mermaids in the future! I understand what you mean with the credits song >_< the singer is a friend of mine who despite having a good voice, lacked the needed equipment. Now he's busy with his office so unfortunately, I don't think he can find a way to re-do it.
Last but not least, thank you for your thoughtful suggestions and you even saw my sprite's flaws >_<; I must say, I sometimes gets a bit messy when coloring semi-realism style. Quality control is definitely on my list to improve.
Thanks again for dropping by & telling me your thoughts, Nameless! I'm working on my 2nd project now, Bermuda Triangle. It's not a sequel, more like a spin-off. I hope to see you again there in the future? If not, all is well! I'm already happy that people are still playing Winged Ones ^///^ xoxo,
What can I say, I like em possessive lmfao (but honestly, all three were my "type" that I enjoy romancing, Rama is a caca head though, reminded me of another character in a different vn) and yess, Silva is such a dilf haha, I would ofc choose Reksa over his dad anyday though ofc, I'm loyal pfft. But I have to say, I do love the courting system with the Avians, trust me, it was hard to choose between a predator/prey kink moment or a husband that would cook for you but not for himself cause he's too lazy and suicidal (I would love a full cg of Rama before his love of his life dies and oml, his bad end though?? Mwah, I'd comment on that but spoilerrrsss) or the bachelor you'd be a housewife with and brag about your love story to your future kids and the aunties haha, not to mention, Tamara is living in a hough that could kill her if she accidentally fell off, not the best pplace for a human unfortunately but the gesture is apprieciated (RIP those who are scared of heights)
Yes yes, I thought the game was well made, the storyline was good and it didn't have any moments where I was like "ughhhh" while reading through.
The credit song, I get that, what can ya do haha.
And don't feel bad about me seeing the flaws, it would've happened sooner or later cause I replay vns for all the endings as a completionist lmao, your vn is great even with all the little things you missed, it happens and I'll be around for the second game- if it's free haha, if it isn't then it depends on the cost TT but I'm sure that going forward you'll improve, I'm glad to have helped- I was waiting to finish the game so I could answer your questions, I love doing that.
and P.S. such a shame Rama's wings are broken, I would've loved to see how he courts Tamara at the "kissing ceremony", a tragic beauty indeed.
just want to say that I'm so glad I find this game and play it! It's sooooo good and I like it sooooo much! Currently I just finished Mitra's happy ending and I love it. Also this game gives me some insights about your culture and it's great. Thank you for creating such an amazing game!
Hi, watersimilar! You're welcome and thank you for giving my game a chance and loving it! ^///^ I'm really flattered, it's the best compliment you can ever give me <3 I hope you'll also have fun with the other routes--but no rush! Read with your own pace and maybe come again to tell me what you think~
Hi, walkingonsunshine! Now that's something I don't hear often O_O Thank you! As an author, I always do my best to write the scenes--especially the endings! >///<
(I am unsure how to get a hold of you personally so am writing this here, hopefully that is okay? 🙏)
I noticed that there was someone using the intro music soundtrack (which I love by the way,) while looking up to see what it was called, (It has been a while.)
I wondered if they had permission to use the music as their own, or if sweetchiel knew they had it? (Or, could it be- that they were/are part of the group creating it? O.O) Anyway, I found them both in Amazon music and YouTube, and looks fairly recent.
I am unsure if they had uploaded it to tick tock yet since I didn't bother to check (I do not have tick tock,) though it looks like like they, themselves, do have tick tock.
Hopefully this is just a false alarm, and they are not actually planning on getting money for the music. (A thought that came to me, could get more exposure?)
Though I am unsure, it is curious to see they did not credit anyone. Which I was surprised on, and otherwise I would have left alone if they had,.....BUTTT, they did not =\
Either way, I wanted to let sweetchiel know in case anything happens, (since I noticed that there was no mention of the creditors) and credited as their own with just a few added beats =/ if that makes sense? One cannot be too cautious.
Name: cj icyy
Brand: blooket freestyle beat.
Places: YouTube, Amazon music
Thanks for creating, and Happy summer break!
- D
Ps. I'm still waiting for that update on the phone x.x no pressure lmao just really giddy since I got the notice!
oh yes, thank you very much for telling me, Dgcast04! All of the music used for Winged Ones are royalty free, I don't quite remember where I got the one I used for the title screen ^^; I must refer to my old notes, but people shouldn't be allowed to sell them unless they bought the license to use them commercially? Hmm... they should still credit the original owner though. I'm not sure what should I do about this, but if I do find out where the music came from, I'll try to notify the owner!
P.S. the release for google play is looking... gloomy :'D the programmer I tried to work with doesn't seem to be a responsible person. If you read my updates from the last few weeks you'll know why x_x In the worst case, I might need to cancel it since I don't want to hand over Winged Ones to such person T_T I feel really bad and sorry about this
Hi babes, I actually played this game back in 2016 so with the upcoming release of Bermuda I decided to play this again after many years.. since it's basically what made me obsessed over otome, right after mystic messenger anyways during my replay I noticed that Rama died during mitra's route and Idk if I succeeded in saving him and still staying on mitra's route back in 2016 or if that was just an illusion and if it's actually possible to still save him and stay on mitra's route how do I do it ? 😭😭😭
Hi, Sara56! OMG you still remember Q_Q yes, the years have gone by so quickly! Thank you so much for your love and for re-visiting me--and don't worry, you didn't hallucinate x'D *SPOILER ALERT* It is impossible to save Rama in any other routes than his. He is the most difficult one to deal with, hence, I suggest you save his route for last :'3
Hello friend! just found "Nusantara: Legend of the Winged ones" and dang... You got me hooked with all the boys I couldnt even pick a favorite- I love them all-
(But i am most conflicted with Rama.. I cant pick to either cry because I care for him or Punch him in the face for doing what he did-.. I went from "Ohh.. Im gonna probably play this guy's route last" and avoided him like a plague to "F-.... I fell for him... I fell hard' and its even funnier because I almost accidentally get his route instead of Mitra when first play the game! lol I love him tho very much- I might've gotten a soft spot for him when playing Mitra's route because I immediately played Rama's route when I finished Mitra's... and guess you can say I fell for him more-.. still feel like I wanna punch him tho for doing what he did in his route and what he did in the other route. Man gave me a heart attack and I definitely cried both in sadness and anger at him when I found out what happen to him in The other two's route.)
I love it so much! Definitely another one of my favorite!! At first I was also hesitant.. but The name 'Nusantara' caught my attention- what can I say... Im an Indonesian- trying it out was bound to happen :'D and man I ended up staying up till 3(?) 4(?) AM to finish both Mitra's and Rama's route and later the day played Reksa's route!.. (Love the story and the characters!! definitely touched my heart the moment I got to know them more)
Tho I havent finished it due to some error:'D I was following the guide for Reksa and there was no option for the good ending and pressing above or bellow the other option didnt work either. I havent re-download it yet to see if that can fix the bug! Hopefully it does- tho I was a bit sad(ge-ing) that I'll lose my other route's progress.. but I guess its a good excuse to replay the game? wkwk
Anyways! Thank you for making the game!! I love it so much :D cant wait to see/play your other games and works!
P.S : I've sent this in your Tumblr but idk if you still use it.. so I just decided to send it here! lol
(oh also! Update lol : It seems I couldnt fix the bug.. :'D and I dont have the heart to see Reksa in the Bad Ending, so I've decided that I'll just leave Reksa's story alone :'3 to save myself and the other characters of the pain- I love him to much to do that bro..)
Hi Rai Keiko! Thank you for giving my game a chance and I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the game ^///^
Your words about Mitra & Rama made me blush and smile--but I hope I didn't give you panda eyes for causing you to sleep so late 😂
And I'm sorry to hear about Reksa's problem O_O;
I checked and I was able to get the last option 'give him the pink crystal' without any problems? But then again this is not the first time this bug appears... If I recall correctly, someone once reported the same problem and she also have followed the walkthrough (save him, lie, then choose the options focusing on Reksa only). Then she tried to replay it on her boyfriend's laptop and the problem solved itself 😅
Have you followed my walkthrough on lemmasoft? the last option will be locked if you don't have enough affection points--If you chose the correct options and the problem still persist, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience 🙏 but I can't think of anything else to solve it because it worked for me 😭
I did actually! I was very persistent on getting the good end and I was lucky and thankful for the walkthrough on getting Rama's ending.. (I aint losing him again- He is stuck with me now! I will come back and save him and give him his happily ever after again and again just for him. He hates persistent people yeah? Then sucks to be him because I am just that >:D) And I decided to follow all the things in the walkthrough for Reksa.. tho I did figure out to just keep visiting him lol
I guess Its just a thing that happen with different laptops and PCs? You also said something about deleting persisting files for the steam downloads in your Tumblr! Im wondering if that would work- Thooo... I dont know where to find the persisting files and what they are labelled as- so Im a bit hesitant about it :'D
And its okay! I still love the game- its not all the time you can find Otome/Visual Novels about Indonesia... Its quite interesting and Im loving it- These 3 men and their stories will forever be hold in a special place in my heart.. I would say I love them equally as much... But I am definitely more protective over a certain Avian.. try guess lol
I wonder if there is other projects you have other than the Nusantara projects! Im not quite up to date- so I hope its fine to ask this here
Thank you for the love and support, Rei Keiko! QuQ I hope you'll find a solution soon... the persistent data should be inside the game folder you can try and delete it, but if you're not sure, there's a walkthrough video on Reksa's route on youtube so maybe you can watch it instead? :'D
With that said, I'm really happy that you love Rama so much! >///< this child of mine doesn't have many fans so this comes as a very pleasant surprise <3
As for other projects besides Nusantara... the answer is yes! I have 2 others planned in mind, one is called 'Saving Grace', another dark fantasy with 'healing each other' as the main theme. Other than the MC's name is Grace, the plot is still a bit vague and require polishing, but it's has more of an adult theme than Nusantara. The other one is a short, light, and fun story involving a mermaid MC & mermen x'D
I once hold a poll for which one I should do next and Saving Grace is on the lead, I'll probably make another poll later once I'm finished with Bermuda's Artbook & fulfilling the Indiegogo's pledges!
And feel free to ask anything here! I'm very active on itch.io ~
Ohhh! Alright! I'll try to find it once im done with classes :D Is there a specific name for the persistent file? Or is it just name as 'Persistent file' ? Oh and I've also already done that Hahaha- I loved it! Now I cant wait to find a way to fix the bug and finish the route and get the good ending >:D I did say I am quite a persistent person lol
And Yeah! I love him, I can see and understand why he is not everyone's cup of tea~ but he sure made me feel like those 'Enemies/Rivals to Lovers' type of feel.. or 'the annoying and annoyed (but still love and care for them)' type of feel... I mean.. mentioning how much I want to fist fight him but also care for him lol maybe because I have a protective nature to people I have soft spots/I care for? (Honestly good for him, this feeling is not a feeling I have for alot of Characters.. just some small amount.. or maybe he is the first/only one I have this 'I wanna punch you.. but I love you—' type of feel- who knows) and also because of him and the other boys (Mitra and Reksa) made me want to pick up drawing again.. its been awhile :')
Oh! Cant wait for both!! And Bermuda! :D All of them sounds Interesting!!
Also- a question.. what happen to Tamara in the future? Ya know when we decide to stay with the boys.. what happen to Tamara in the future? Thats what I've been thinking.. did all existence of her just get erased? Did she die? Ya know maybe it got covered up as her getting into an accident? Or she is just- gone and put as 'missing'... Because if I was in Tamara's shoes I would want to know what happen to me in the future before I pick what I want haha
Actually, I haven't tried deleting the persistent file (the one in the 'saves' folder) so I can't guarantee anything 😂😭 I wonder what else we can try besides trying it on a different computer/laptop...
And I get it! When you said it went from "I will probably play his route" to getting the creeps and avoiding him like the plague, and then to "F--I fell for him, but I still wanna punch him", I laughed so much 😂 thank you for the tough love and for making my days brighter <3
As for what will happen with Tamara in the future timeline... The best answer I can give you would be: future Tamara will still meet with the Goddess and repeat the same decisions she made OR refuse and continue her ordinary life. There are infinite probabilities of what future Tamara can do. It's one of the loops/diverse events happening in the multiverse theory 😉 But if you're asking what happen to her identity/existence after she decided to stay, her uncle will list her as a missing person (there's a cameo of Tamara's photo in a Newspaper CG in Bermuda 😂)
I recently played Nusantara: Legend of the Winged Ones for the first time and I think I'll still be thinking about it for a while, I'm quite impressed by it.
I was a bit uncertain at the beginning, and this resulted in me completing Mitra's good ending. Although one of the good endings, this left me very aggrieved at Rama's ambiguous suicide since he had become my favourite character. So I tried another playthrough and made it to Rama's dark bad ending, which I stopped at and then retraced before reaching the Good Ending late at night, satisfied by the "Finally!" confirmation message.
I don't really have any serious criticism of this game, other then some english mistakes(I don't know if this is just something I notice though); but since the whole game is so polished, involves so much writing and since I suspect English isn't your only language, any impact this has on how I see the game is negligible. As a whole I just have to congratulate you and also offer some gratitude, Rama is probably in the short list of my all-time favourite characters.
There is one last thing though, I often just think of how music might fit any particular character (I'm raised around this since my family are all classical musicians/teachers). With Rama I've come up with Variation 13 from Elgar's Enigma Variations, a piece that starts whimsical and takes a very dark, brooding turn partway through. "Enigma" in it's title is no accident either, the Enigma variations were intended to point to some mystery but nobody knows for sure what that was(fitting since Rama's story involves discovering his mysterious past and character). Supposedly this particular variation was also inspired by a woman in Elgar's life(each of the variations was dedicated to somebody he knew, himself, or his dog), and even this creates an interesting parallel. I do recommend all of the Enigma variations anyway, they're great to listen to and some of the most influential music.
Hi, Dd198! Thank you for giving my game a chance and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! -^.^)/
Honestly, I'm flattered that you've spent so much effort in order to get Rama's good ending ^///^ most of the time, people doesn't have the patience for it and nothing makes me happier to hear he's on your short list of your all-time favorite character! I love him but this child of mine is not everyone's cup of tea so I cherish every new fan he got QuQ he needs more love and you've given it to him so thank you!
I must admit, I have been struggling with grammar mistakes/typos--even though I've checked it multiple times & gone through my proofreaders, some always seem to slip through our radars :'D and yes, unfortunately English is not my mother language.
Last but not least, thank you for the music recommendation! The title alone seems to fit him, so I will definitely look it up & listen to it on my free time <3 xoxo,
Every year i keep coming and re-downloading this game. Your games are litterally amazing i still think about it even after all these years! Can't wait for your new game to come out T-T
Omg, thank you so much, YourTrueLoveInBed! >///< Nothing makes me happier than knowing my babies are still loved and cared after all these years ^///^ Bermuda felt so close yet so far from completion Q_Q The polishing is getting intense because there are lots of dialogue going and I need to plan the last CGs well--I hope to see you when it's time for me to cross the finish line :"D
I played this on my old laptop a few years ago and since then I've gotten a new mac (monterey 12.6.1) I am unable to open the application. I checked this game on steam (and since its paid I can't get it) but steams says that it isn't available for 10.15 catalina or above.
Is there a way for this game to be allowed on more recent devices? I wanted to replay this game since I really miss the story line. I hope this could be fixed!
Hello, trooshoo! I'm sorry for the late reply and your inconvenience >< I just checked the forum and unfortunately, Ren'Py is incompatible with Catalina 10.15 (it leads to crashes). This has something to do with the developer's tech and the only current solution I found is: Copy the folder to Applications & open it from there.
If this doesn't work, I'm sorry to say I can't provide you with any other solution aside from using different PC/use windows Q_Q
It's alright! Unfortunately, the method did not work for me, but I'm aiming to invest in a PC some day for uni so hopefully when the time comes I'll be able to play this gem again.

I'm still working on my 2nd project but it shouldn't be long now, Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle will definitely be released this year!

Aww, thank you summernight77! ^///^
Congrats on finishing the game!
I look forward to your next project!
Thank you! Please bear with me. It's a slow but steady progress while wrestling with my dayjob! x'D
It's hard to choose a favorite but Reksa might be my favorite, his bad end really had me in my feelings and I enjoy his kind of character (don't get me wrong though, I love all the LIs but something about guys with black hair haha, shame we don't see more of Reksa's hair down, a sight to see)

How come the endgame didn't come with a pair of wings for Tamara?/hj lmao, this game seriously made me crave for a avian fl haha. The song during the credits was effy to me, I couldn't understand the words, I kind of wish that on Rama's good route his sprite actually showed he took off his earring and Mitra's sprite was messy on some expressions, there was smudges past the lines and there were a fefw errors in spelling if I remember correctly-
Hi, Nameless!
Thanks for sparing your time to answer my questions!
Ah, Reksa is still the all time favorite I see XD And now that you mention it; Reksa with his hair down will definitely be a sight to see! I wonder why I didn't think of it sooner, I could've make a CG or two. I think he's the type that gets hotter as he gets older (He age like fine wine--I mean, look at his father).
I'm flattered that you like most of the game's elements QuQ
Credits to my proofreaders who have made the story several times better! They have made my grammar so much better but somehow, I think some still managed to avoid our radars so do excuse us for that ^^;
And yes! I'm also looking forward for more fantasy VNs with winged characters or even mermaids in the future!
I understand what you mean with the credits song >_< the singer is a friend of mine who despite having a good voice, lacked the needed equipment. Now he's busy with his office so unfortunately, I don't think he can find a way to re-do it.
Last but not least, thank you for your thoughtful suggestions and you even saw my sprite's flaws >_<;
I must say, I sometimes gets a bit messy when coloring semi-realism style. Quality control is definitely on my list to improve.
Thanks again for dropping by & telling me your thoughts, Nameless!
I'm working on my 2nd project now, Bermuda Triangle. It's not a sequel, more like a spin-off. I hope to see you again there in the future?
If not, all is well! I'm already happy that people are still playing Winged Ones ^///^

Greetings SweetChiel,
What can I say, I like em possessive lmfao (but honestly, all three were my "type" that I enjoy romancing, Rama is a caca head though, reminded me of another character in a different vn) and yess, Silva is such a dilf haha, I would ofc choose Reksa over his dad anyday though ofc, I'm loyal pfft. But I have to say, I do love the courting system with the Avians, trust me, it was hard to choose between a predator/prey kink moment or a husband that would cook for you but not for himself cause he's too lazy and suicidal (I would love a full cg of Rama before his love of his life dies and oml, his bad end though?? Mwah, I'd comment on that but spoilerrrsss) or the bachelor you'd be a housewife with and brag about your love story to your future kids and the aunties haha, not to mention, Tamara is living in a hough that could kill her if she accidentally fell off, not the best pplace for a human unfortunately but the gesture is apprieciated (RIP those who are scared of heights)
Yes yes, I thought the game was well made, the storyline was good and it didn't have any moments where I was like "ughhhh" while reading through.
The credit song, I get that, what can ya do haha.
And don't feel bad about me seeing the flaws, it would've happened sooner or later cause I replay vns for all the endings as a completionist lmao, your vn is great even with all the little things you missed, it happens and I'll be around for the second game- if it's free haha, if it isn't then it depends on the cost TT but I'm sure that going forward you'll improve, I'm glad to have helped- I was waiting to finish the game so I could answer your questions, I love doing that.
and P.S. such a shame Rama's wings are broken, I would've loved to see how he courts Tamara at the "kissing ceremony", a tragic beauty indeed.
xoxo
Yours truly, Nameless
just want to say that I'm so glad I find this game and play it! It's sooooo good and I like it sooooo much! Currently I just finished Mitra's happy ending and I love it. Also this game gives me some insights about your culture and it's great. Thank you for creating such an amazing game!
Hi, watersimilar!
You're welcome and thank you for giving my game a chance and loving it! ^///^ I'm really flattered, it's the best compliment you can ever give me <3 I hope you'll also have fun with the other routes--but no rush! Read with your own pace and maybe come again to tell me what you think~
xoxo,
SweetChiel
idk why but my fav ending is Rama's bad ending :'( it make me feel something
Hi, walkingonsunshine!
Now that's something I don't hear often O_O
Thank you! As an author, I always do my best to write the scenes--especially the endings! >///<
Hah, you are not alone. Gimme all the angst and anguish and I shall be content :c
Hello sweetchiel!
(I am unsure how to get a hold of you personally so am writing this here, hopefully that is okay? 🙏)
I noticed that there was someone using the intro music soundtrack (which I love by the way,) while looking up to see what it was called, (It has been a while.)
I wondered if they had permission to use the music as their own, or if sweetchiel knew they had it? (Or, could it be- that they were/are part of the group creating it? O.O) Anyway, I found them both in Amazon music and YouTube, and looks fairly recent.
I am unsure if they had uploaded it to tick tock yet since I didn't bother to check (I do not have tick tock,) though it looks like like they, themselves, do have tick tock.
Hopefully this is just a false alarm, and they are not actually planning on getting money for the music. (A thought that came to me, could get more exposure?)
Though I am unsure, it is curious to see they did not credit anyone. Which I was surprised on, and otherwise I would have left alone if they had,.....BUTTT, they did not =\
Either way, I wanted to let sweetchiel know in case anything happens, (since I noticed that there was no mention of the creditors) and credited as their own with just a few added beats =/ if that makes sense? One cannot be too cautious.

Thanks for creating, and Happy summer break!

Ps. I'm still waiting for that update on the phone x.x no pressure lmao just really giddy since I got the notice!
oh yes, thank you very much for telling me, Dgcast04!
All of the music used for Winged Ones are royalty free, I don't quite remember where I got the one I used for the title screen ^^;
I must refer to my old notes, but people shouldn't be allowed to sell them unless they bought the license to use them commercially? Hmm... they should still credit the original owner though. I'm not sure what should I do about this, but if I do find out where the music came from, I'll try to notify the owner!
P.S. the release for google play is looking... gloomy :'D
the programmer I tried to work with doesn't seem to be a responsible person. If you read my updates from the last few weeks you'll know why x_x In the worst case, I might need to cancel it since I don't want to hand over Winged Ones to such person T_T I feel really bad and sorry about this
Hi babes, I actually played this game back in 2016 so with the upcoming release of Bermuda I decided to play this again after many years.. since it's basically what made me obsessed over otome, right after mystic messenger anyways during my replay I noticed that Rama died during mitra's route and Idk if I succeeded in saving him and still staying on mitra's route back in 2016 or if that was just an illusion and if it's actually possible to still save him and stay on mitra's route how do I do it ? 😭😭😭
Hi, Sara56!
OMG you still remember Q_Q yes, the years have gone by so quickly! Thank you so much for your love and for re-visiting me--and don't worry, you didn't hallucinate x'D
*SPOILER ALERT*
It is impossible to save Rama in any other routes than his. He is the most difficult one to deal with, hence, I suggest you save his route for last :'3
Hello friend! just found "Nusantara: Legend of the Winged ones" and dang... You got me hooked with all the boys I couldnt even pick a favorite- I love them all-
(But i am most conflicted with Rama.. I cant pick to either cry because I care for him or Punch him in the face for doing what he did-.. I went from "Ohh.. Im gonna probably play this guy's route last" and avoided him like a plague to "F-.... I fell for him... I fell hard' and its even funnier because I almost accidentally get his route instead of Mitra when first play the game! lol I love him tho very much- I might've gotten a soft spot for him when playing Mitra's route because I immediately played Rama's route when I finished Mitra's... and guess you can say I fell for him more-.. still feel like I wanna punch him tho for doing what he did in his route and what he did in the other route. Man gave me a heart attack and I definitely cried both in sadness and anger at him when I found out what happen to him in The other two's route.)
I love it so much! Definitely another one of my favorite!! At first I was also hesitant.. but The name 'Nusantara' caught my attention- what can I say... Im an Indonesian- trying it out was bound to happen :'D and man I ended up staying up till 3(?) 4(?) AM to finish both Mitra's and Rama's route and later the day played Reksa's route!.. (Love the story and the characters!! definitely touched my heart the moment I got to know them more)
Tho I havent finished it due to some error:'D I was following the guide for Reksa and there was no option for the good ending and pressing above or bellow the other option didnt work either. I havent re-download it yet to see if that can fix the bug! Hopefully it does- tho I was a bit sad(ge-ing) that I'll lose my other route's progress.. but I guess its a good excuse to replay the game? wkwk
Anyways! Thank you for making the game!! I love it so much :D cant wait to see/play your other games and works!
P.S : I've sent this in your Tumblr but idk if you still use it.. so I just decided to send it here! lol
(oh also! Update lol : It seems I couldnt fix the bug.. :'D and I dont have the heart to see Reksa in the Bad Ending, so I've decided that I'll just leave Reksa's story alone :'3 to save myself and the other characters of the pain- I love him to much to do that bro..)
Hi Rai Keiko! Thank you for giving my game a chance and I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the game ^///^
Your words about Mitra & Rama made me blush and smile--but I hope I didn't give you panda eyes for causing you to sleep so late 😂
And I'm sorry to hear about Reksa's problem O_O;
I checked and I was able to get the last option 'give him the pink crystal' without any problems? But then again this is not the first time this bug appears... If I recall correctly, someone once reported the same problem and she also have followed the walkthrough (save him, lie, then choose the options focusing on Reksa only). Then she tried to replay it on her boyfriend's laptop and the problem solved itself 😅
Have you followed my walkthrough on lemmasoft? the last option will be locked if you don't have enough affection points--If you chose the correct options and the problem still persist, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience 🙏 but I can't think of anything else to solve it because it worked for me 😭
I did actually! I was very persistent on getting the good end and I was lucky and thankful for the walkthrough on getting Rama's ending.. (I aint losing him again- He is stuck with me now! I will come back and save him and give him his happily ever after again and again just for him. He hates persistent people yeah? Then sucks to be him because I am just that >:D) And I decided to follow all the things in the walkthrough for Reksa.. tho I did figure out to just keep visiting him lol
I guess Its just a thing that happen with different laptops and PCs?
You also said something about deleting persisting files for the steam downloads in your Tumblr! Im wondering if that would work- Thooo... I dont know where to find the persisting files and what they are labelled as- so Im a bit hesitant about it :'D
And its okay! I still love the game- its not all the time you can find Otome/Visual Novels about Indonesia... Its quite interesting and Im loving it- These 3 men and their stories will forever be hold in a special place in my heart.. I would say I love them equally as much... But I am definitely more protective over a certain Avian.. try guess lol
I wonder if there is other projects you have other than the Nusantara projects! Im not quite up to date- so I hope its fine to ask this here
Thank you for the love and support, Rei Keiko! QuQ
I hope you'll find a solution soon... the persistent data should be inside the game folder you can try and delete it, but if you're not sure, there's a walkthrough video on Reksa's route on youtube so maybe you can watch it instead? :'D
With that said, I'm really happy that you love Rama so much! >///< this child of mine doesn't have many fans so this comes as a very pleasant surprise <3
As for other projects besides Nusantara... the answer is yes! I have 2 others planned in mind, one is called 'Saving Grace', another dark fantasy with 'healing each other' as the main theme. Other than the MC's name is Grace, the plot is still a bit vague and require polishing, but it's has more of an adult theme than Nusantara. The other one is a short, light, and fun story involving a mermaid MC & mermen x'D
I once hold a poll for which one I should do next and Saving Grace is on the lead, I'll probably make another poll later once I'm finished with Bermuda's Artbook & fulfilling the Indiegogo's pledges!
And feel free to ask anything here! I'm very active on itch.io ~
Ohhh! Alright! I'll try to find it once im done with classes :D Is there a specific name for the persistent file? Or is it just name as 'Persistent file' ? Oh and I've also already done that Hahaha- I loved it! Now I cant wait to find a way to fix the bug and finish the route and get the good ending >:D I did say I am quite a persistent person lol
And Yeah! I love him, I can see and understand why he is not everyone's cup of tea~ but he sure made me feel like those 'Enemies/Rivals to Lovers' type of feel.. or 'the annoying and annoyed (but still love and care for them)' type of feel... I mean.. mentioning how much I want to fist fight him but also care for him lol maybe because I have a protective nature to people I have soft spots/I care for? (Honestly good for him, this feeling is not a feeling I have for alot of Characters.. just some small amount.. or maybe he is the first/only one I have this 'I wanna punch you.. but I love you—' type of feel- who knows) and also because of him and the other boys (Mitra and Reksa) made me want to pick up drawing again.. its been awhile :')
Oh! Cant wait for both!! And Bermuda! :D All of them sounds Interesting!!
Also- a question.. what happen to Tamara in the future? Ya know when we decide to stay with the boys.. what happen to Tamara in the future? Thats what I've been thinking.. did all existence of her just get erased? Did she die? Ya know maybe it got covered up as her getting into an accident? Or she is just- gone and put as 'missing'... Because if I was in Tamara's shoes I would want to know what happen to me in the future before I pick what I want haha
Actually, I haven't tried deleting the persistent file (the one in the 'saves' folder) so I can't guarantee anything 😂😭 I wonder what else we can try besides trying it on a different computer/laptop...
And I get it! When you said it went from "I will probably play his route" to getting the creeps and avoiding him like the plague, and then to "F--I fell for him, but I still wanna punch him", I laughed so much 😂 thank you for the tough love and for making my days brighter <3
As for what will happen with Tamara in the future timeline... The best answer I can give you would be: future Tamara will still meet with the Goddess and repeat the same decisions she made OR refuse and continue her ordinary life. There are infinite probabilities of what future Tamara can do. It's one of the loops/diverse events happening in the multiverse theory 😉 But if you're asking what happen to her identity/existence after she decided to stay, her uncle will list her as a missing person (there's a cameo of Tamara's photo in a Newspaper CG in Bermuda 😂)
I recently played Nusantara: Legend of the Winged Ones for the first time and I think I'll still be thinking about it for a while, I'm quite impressed by it.
I was a bit uncertain at the beginning, and this resulted in me completing Mitra's good ending. Although one of the good endings, this left me very aggrieved at Rama's ambiguous suicide since he had become my favourite character. So I tried another playthrough and made it to Rama's dark bad ending, which I stopped at and then retraced before reaching the Good Ending late at night, satisfied by the "Finally!" confirmation message.
I don't really have any serious criticism of this game, other then some english mistakes(I don't know if this is just something I notice though); but since the whole game is so polished, involves so much writing and since I suspect English isn't your only language, any impact this has on how I see the game is negligible. As a whole I just have to congratulate you and also offer some gratitude, Rama is probably in the short list of my all-time favourite characters.
There is one last thing though, I often just think of how music might fit any particular character (I'm raised around this since my family are all classical musicians/teachers). With Rama I've come up with Variation 13 from Elgar's Enigma Variations, a piece that starts whimsical and takes a very dark, brooding turn partway through. "Enigma" in it's title is no accident either, the Enigma variations were intended to point to some mystery but nobody knows for sure what that was(fitting since Rama's story involves discovering his mysterious past and character). Supposedly this particular variation was also inspired by a woman in Elgar's life(each of the variations was dedicated to somebody he knew, himself, or his dog), and even this creates an interesting parallel.
I do recommend all of the Enigma variations anyway, they're great to listen to and some of the most influential music.
Hi, Dd198!
Thank you for giving my game a chance and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! -^.^)/
Honestly, I'm flattered that you've spent so much effort in order to get Rama's good ending ^///^ most of the time, people doesn't have the patience for it and nothing makes me happier to hear he's on your short list of your all-time favorite character! I love him but this child of mine is not everyone's cup of tea so I cherish every new fan he got QuQ he needs more love and you've given it to him so thank you!
I must admit, I have been struggling with grammar mistakes/typos--even though I've checked it multiple times & gone through my proofreaders, some always seem to slip through our radars :'D and yes, unfortunately English is not my mother language.
Last but not least, thank you for the music recommendation! The title alone seems to fit him, so I will definitely look it up & listen to it on my free time <3
xoxo,
SweetChiel
Every year i keep coming and re-downloading this game. Your games are litterally amazing i still think about it even after all these years! Can't wait for your new game to come out T-T
Omg, thank you so much, YourTrueLoveInBed! >///<
Nothing makes me happier than knowing my babies are still loved and cared after all these years ^///^
Bermuda felt so close yet so far from completion Q_Q The polishing is getting intense because there are lots of dialogue going and I need to plan the last CGs well--I hope to see you when it's time for me to cross the finish line :"D
Take as much as time you need !! If it's your game i know it's worth the wait.
help cant get reksa good ending i didnt get the option of giving the pink crystal
Hi melancholyd! Thanks for dropping by and I see you're having some difficulties with Reksa's and Rama's routes >_<
Have you tried following the walkthrough in Lemmasoft forum? https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36095
Click and drag your mouse through the white space~ it's posted that way to avoid spoilers ^.^ I hope it helps!
thanks you so so so much
I played this on my old laptop a few years ago and since then I've gotten a new mac (monterey 12.6.1) I am unable to open the application. I checked this game on steam (and since its paid I can't get it) but steams says that it isn't available for 10.15 catalina or above.
Is there a way for this game to be allowed on more recent devices? I wanted to replay this game since I really miss the story line. I hope this could be fixed!
Hello, trooshoo!
I'm sorry for the late reply and your inconvenience ><
I just checked the forum and unfortunately, Ren'Py is incompatible with Catalina 10.15 (it leads to crashes). This has something to do with the developer's tech and the only current solution I found is:
Copy the folder to Applications & open it from there.
If this doesn't work, I'm sorry to say I can't provide you with any other solution aside from using different PC/use windows Q_Q
xoxo,
SweetChiel
It's alright! Unfortunately, the method did not work for me, but I'm aiming to invest in a PC some day for uni so hopefully when the time comes I'll be able to play this gem again.
Thank you for your help!
hi can you help me when i started reksas route i only got the bad ending because i ddint get the option of giving him the pink crystal
