First off I loved playing Nusantra! The story, world, and characters are all interesting and I love the art. This is going on my favorites list.
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
I really like Reksa. I'm a sucker for dark hair+green eyes and the hostile type. But I love Mitra! He's pretty much the kind of man I want to marry (why are they always fictional?).
What makes you consider to play this game?
I love fantasy and otome games so when I saw this I had to play.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
Overall I love it! I'm not sure which element stands out the most. I think each play-through is different.Like when you start out the artwork and story stands out but as you get to know each character the characterization stands out (especially after doing Rama's path).
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
I read through some of the comments and someone mentioned the shaking. Although it does add to some scenes (for instance when Tamara falls or during the cave-in) those who are more sensitive may stop playing because of it.
Also, I enjoyed reading through the encyclopedia and learning where your inspiration for certain scenes and character designs came from. ^^
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD)
I would totally buy it if/when I have the money. That seems to be life's theme: If I had/have the money... (too bad we can't pay bills with our imagination)
First, I want to apologize for this late reply due to me being busy preparing my next project >.<;; but boy, I feel touched to hear my VN is going into your favourite list! :'D
1. lololol, so many people like hostile bachelors x'D I can't say anything since we're on the same boat tho, lol.
2. High five! I also love fantasy related stories/otome :'3
3. You noticed! x'D Yes, I made each route unique since I don't want to be repetitive and bore you guys to lala land ~ You spoil me too much tho >.< I still have rooms for improvement and I'll do my best to meet your expectation in the future! :'3
4. Oooh, so maybe the 'shake' effect is a bit intense in some parts O.O; I'll take note and tone it down a bit next time; thanks for pointing it out! and glad you like the mini-encyclopedia! I'm going to keep that feature for sure~
5. Nah, I understand. We have bills to pay and life changing from adolescent to adulthood can be a bit overwhelming x.x thanks for the support tho!
hello! just wanted to say thank you for sharing this game! the graphics are beautiful, the story is well-written, i enjoyed the characters although rama was a bit... different sometimes (his bad end made me feel REALLY sorry for him though Q O Q!!). and i just. man this is one of my favorite if not the most favorite free otome game i've stumbled upon. i look forward to any future releases!
as for the questionnaire. .. .
Which bachelor you like the most? and why? my favorite is reksa!!! i'm a sucker for the hostile-then-friends-then-lovers type, and he didn't fail to deliver. also he's so cute and rather feisty at the same time? does that even make sense? hahaha. i also did enough mitra, though. he was the first route i went for - i enjoyed how down-to-earth he was.
What makes you consider to play this game? honestly, i was looking for a otome game to play and saw this one listed and decided to give it a shot since the premise seemed interesting enough. i'm glad i decided to try it out, lol.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?) overall, i do like the visual novel! the element that stood out to me in the beginning was the story, and the artwork sealed the deal since it's really beautiful.
aside from that, while he's not my favorite bachelor, rama's story was... really different and had a lot of sensitive topics. i don't mean that in a bad light, rather - it was really nice to read as it's so distinctively different from mitra and reska. i felt really bad for rama if you don't take his route that he never fully heals/recovers from his past experiences and well... hits the bucket, so to speak. qq i was glad that in his route at least mc shares her own burdens with him and they both move on with their past together.
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft. the [SPOILER] rape mention in mitra's route [/SPOILER] i found so out-of-the-blue, or rather i wasn't expecting it since that was the first relatively-dark mention in that route iirc. regardless, mitra's response to her confession was 100% A+++++. i wanted to applaud you on how you wrote his response to that scenario.
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD) yes yes and yes!!!! i'd be glad to show any support! throws my wallet your way tbh ♥
Thanks for coming and reviewing :'D I'm really sorry for this late reply; I was busy preparing my next project (and still is) I'm very happy to see more people is still coming and reading Nusantara tho QuQ
1. lol, I understand what you mean x'D Reksa turned out better than I expected! I'm also a fan of cold or a bit antagonistic characters... so that might be why :'))
2. YAY! and thank YOU for giving this little one a chance x'D
3. Thanks! I tried my best to make things interesting :'3 and I was quite worried too at the beginning since some events are a bit dark while my art has bright color palette -but thank God they worked well x'D
-and Yes, I created 3 different bachelors to see how you guys will react :') (easy, medium, hard?) I'm also glad that even though Rama is not your favourite, you also gave him a chance and understood his story well! *hugs*
4. lol, yeah, that part of the story is cringe-worthy >.<;; I didn't put enough events to hint on Tamara's past -I'll definitely try not to repeat the same mistake! >:'D thanks for pointing it out!
5. D'aww thank you for your support! :'D
Thanks again and I'll see you around! my next project is going nicely~
Which bachelor you like the most? and why? Oh, this is hard. It's honestly a toss-up between Mitra and Reksa. I'm tempted to just go with Mitra, but that's a bit biased since I played his route last. I actually cried towards the end of Reksa's route when a certain spoiler-y thing happened, and he was so sweet, and I was just overcome by all the feels....
What makes you consider to play this game? Well, lets be honest: the art was the first thing to catch my eye. What made me continue to play this game was the story and characterization. The story is unique and engaging, and the characters feel like people rather than archetypes or cardboard cut-outs.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?) This is a beautifully done VN. 9/10, would play again (and again and again and...).
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft. I did find some of what I assume were errors in word choice, which I assume are there because English isn't your first language. They weren't so bad that I didn't know what you meant, but they created some unintentionally funny moments. I commented on your DevArt regarding this, so I won't go into that further here.
Another thing that would be nice is some closure at the end. I was hoping for a Big Damn Kiss or some sort of lovey scene after choosing to stay, but I never got one; I chose to stay, and the game ended. I kind of felt like that dumped me out of the story rather than letting me down gently (for lack of a better metaphor). It's not a huge issue or anything, but there you are.
I think it would be nice if there were more variation in the story itself when you play different routes. I realize that this would be a LOT of extra work for you, and it's not really a big deal, but, hey, you asked.
I don't know if this is a flaw or not, but it kind of seems like Tamara is supposed to end up with Mitra (considering a few scenes that were constant throughout all three routes and some Tamara-backstory-revelation that only occurs in Mitra's route). I'm not sure if you intended for that or not (or if I'm just reading too much into it, which is entirely possible).
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD) I will definitely buy it! You've shown in this VN that you are a pretty masterful storyteller (and heartstring-puller...), and you said that it would probably be around $10-15. That's definitely worth it! I can't wait! <3
I'm very happy that you like my art-style and even say the story is good >\\\< I'm also happy that Mitra is getting quite popular <3 but I guess Rama is not your type? XD
Grammar is still my biggest enemy and I still have rooms for improvement in my writing skills so I hope you'll be patient for my next project since I'm going to take my time learning >:')
Oh and after the credits, there should be epilogues for each bachelors o.o; I have no idea how you missed it since everyone else seems to get it x.x
Oooh, I hope it's not a bug since Ren'py is not supposed to have many bugs ><;
Also, thank you for your support! I'll do my best to reach your expectation and more in my next project! :")
Yeah, I'm not terribly fond of Rama. Sorry. I just don't have the patience for his shenanigans, and there was one point where he did something that REALLY pissed me off that I won't mention because of spoilers. After that point, though, I was just like, "NOPE. DONE." I just felt so outraged by it, and it was never really addressed afterwards (which I understand, since it was done at a point of super high tension towards the end of the plot, but it doesn't stop me from getting worked up about it).
Your grammar didn't actually bother me or keep me from enjoying the story, so please don't be too self-conscious about it. There were just a few instances that I noticed where the words you used were a little strange for the context of what was happening (and those times were mostly because of alternate meanings of those words and slang terminology). If you like, I would be happy to help you with things like that. Then again, no one else seems to have noticed, so maybe I only noticed because I'm kind of a word nerd. Honestly, I have so much respect for everything you've done already; this is a very minor thing.
Ahh, I see about the epilogues now. The credits rolling is usually a signal to me that the game/movie is over. My mistake. Thanks for letting me know, though! Now I have an excuse to play it again right away! Heehee! <3
OMGG!!! i LOVE LOVEEE YOUR GAME!! (pardon my caps lel) Reksa is BAE I KENNOT honestly when i first started playing your game i was like mehh..its probably gonna be those boring visual novel games but im SOO GLAD your game prove me wrong!! and my gawdd when the game included melay words i was like HEYY MY NATIVE LANGUAGE YUSSS!! i seriously cant wait for your upcoming games im so excited!! i hope more people will check out your creations >.< (p.s Rama is cute but EURRGGGGHH I WANT TO SLAP HIS FACE SOMETIMES)
Also the walkthrough isn't showing up. I'm taken to the site but the words don't show up.....I'm not looking for a how-to-win thing I just want the CG i'm missing for Mitra.
It's a really good game and I know how much projects like this mean to the creators, however I do have some small critiques for future reference....
1. Don't do so much with visual shaking and flashing of the screen, it can become annoying and distracting to some readers if overdone. When shaking or vibrating the screen it should be done in moderation and typically when certain actions are done. Flashing the screen is the same, if you use it try not to overdo it. Flash the screen 4 or 5 times and then either keep screen black or clear the image but if it's constantly flashing it will become very distracting to readers and it can take away the sense of "Immersion" within the story.
2. adding more music, even if it's just soft background noise is usually helpful. It's better it have more music in a VN than very little. (not that there was that much of a lack, but the beginning could've used a bit more music.)
3. Try not to do scrolling or auto continue words and dialogue unless you have a voice actor to go with it. people read at there own pace and when the words change on their own it can become frustrating to the reader if it goes too fast.
4. Make the credits skip-able, this is because if the reader has accidentally scrolled back (Like my smart self did) they will have to re-watch it, that can be a bit annoying.
Now before you get all critical and whatnot (not saying you'll get upset but just in case you do I want to clear thing's up) I just wanted to tell you that this is an amazing game and I adore it. The music that is present in the game is perfect, (I only wish there was more of it) and the CG is beautifully drawn. It's hard to find a VN with a good story line and gorgeous CG. I love the language barrier at the beginning, it's different and very creative. Not many people would think about adding that to their stories. I adore the game and the story, I love the fact that every choice you make has a direct impact on all three of the Boys and that you can get a wonderful ending but experience a heartbreaking scene.
I look forward to more of your creations and I hope you put the same amount of creativity, hope, and love into all that you do.
I think you're talking about the beginning of the story when the legend story is being told? (auto-text) and there ARE lots of shaking and flashing when Tamara 'fell' ...even more so in the endings :"))
Oh and I take it for granted that people know how to skip text/credits with ctrl button O.O; really sorry about that.
In my next VN, I'll try to tone down the shaking/flashing ><; I tend to get carried away :"))
About more songs; this is a good idea and I was considering to hire a composer for more original musics (I'm quite a picky author and it took forever to get musics which are compatible with some scene's situation >.<). But I do thought about using Indiegogo for getting funds o.o I'm focusing on preparations atm tho -pray so my campaign in indiegogo will go well! XD
Again, thanks for your concern and support! See you around in the future!
No problem, I always enjoy a good VN and I love helping others make them even better. This one was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every bit of the story including the bad endings. I can't wait to see what else you come up with, and yes I was talking about the auto-text at the beginning.
I just made an account so I could comment. This game really awed me. I'm speechless after playing it... IT WAS SO GOOD. I cried, laughed, was angered... I felt so many things that I can't even fully explain myself. So I will answer your questions!
1. Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
Tough question. I love Mitra and Reksa equally. If I could, I wanted both of them LMAO. Mitra because he is so trustworthy... He is like that big protector that would give everything to his girl. He was the first route I played... yeah, loved him right away.
Now, Reksa is a interesting character. After I played Mitra I was thinking "Reksa seems very similar to Pubra... is he Pubra? :o" When I played Rama route, I already knew he wasn't, but it was a nice suspense haha. So, back to Reksa, that beautiful specimen: I liked how he would growl, purr, be angry but in the end he was really a big wolfy puppy. LOVED THE GOOD END - the best, in my opinion. I just wanted a sequel to that ending haha #hornybastard. OH and he is not just a pretty face, he is a character with a personality and troubles - he is not perfect.
2.What makes you consider to play this game?
When I want to play a VN I look at the art first then the characters. I loved how you portrait things, and the characters were yummy, so I gave it a go.
3. Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
I love all the elements in this VN. Love the art, the story, the characters.I just found some kissing CG weird, but overall it was great.
4. Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
I wanted routes with stories a little different. I felt that they followed the same boat, just a few differences. I wanted bigger endings... to know more about what happened after her decision. More endings
5. Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD)
If it's not too expensive, I'd buy :) And of course, if it could be delivered to Brazil~
Hi sayuk! And thank you so much for being so supportive QuQ I'm touched to hear you make an account just to comment here ~
1. Lol so gentleman vs hornybastard for you x'DD hahahah I laughed in the morning when I read this -I'm glad you like their routes! It was definitely fun to write them (tho some people get turned off by Reksa's possessiveness and horniness 8'D /hammer)
But really, I'm very happy to hear you like their personalities and stories :"3
2. Lol, yup, first impression is important! I'm glad you like my art style >\\\<
3. Lol you must be talking about Mitra and Tamara's Omed-omedan kiss? X'D well to be honest, I was confused about How to portrait Mitra kissing Tamara's chin in that angle -but thanks for the concern, I'll make sure to look for more kissing pose reference :"3
4. Hmm so probably longer and more epilogues? O.o okay ~ I'll consider and learn how to make satisfying epilogues for you xD
5. I'm not sure about hardcopies -maybe a digital copy for you to download O.O I've never sent items overseas so I'm afraid it will get lost somewhere x'D
I must agree, I recently play it about 3 days ago and made an account today to share my thoughts. I'll be honest the most awesome plot and heart felt moments, I played it blind and got rama route without even knowing and started to develop feeling for him. I really wanted to help him but end it with a bad ending, I did saw it coming when I felt like something is wrong but I accept since I did a bad job. Sorry rambling on owo;;.
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
At First it was rama when I first play blind The feels for his backstory wants me to help heal him to see better days but reksa growling and purring takes the cake because I find that when a male got into their instinct is pretty hot and makes my core pools hahaha xD.
What makes you consider to play this game?
At first I wanted a good time, I played many otome that was on here and this was the next on my list, compare it to the others this by far have the best story line for teens if added a little more like intention hentai then adult as well :3.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
The art work, seriously caught my eyes, next would be the sound effective for the dialog, and after looking back again, I now value a good story line as long it still keep my attention and allow me to make hard choices without looking at walk through. I'm more then happy.
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
If their anyway to get a bouns ending? For intercourse and foreshadowing kids? Also can we input in our own name for the character? Also for the next game can it be another human but still part of the same game world? (I'm not good at explain owo;;) Any chance for some of them to have a voice actor?
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD)
I would be sad but if its like this then yes. I just pray that its not overly prices.
Mitra, is an awesome and hot person, he is the dream guy every GOOD girl should have but let's just say I'm NOT a good girl sooo, he could add a little more *wink wink* kinks~. Here how I images if a guy alike from mitra/rama (yeah a knew a werid combo) In the public he is both serious/cheery playboy that look like he couldn't keep it in his pants. While at nice, he one of those that werids a mask and have nightmare that would go out find a cliff or a tree near the cliff watching the ocean till he fall asleep. but hey that just me xD
Thanks for stopping by :'3 I'm touched when you said my story is good enough to push you to comment QuQ
1. lol I know that feeling too well dear x') I'm glad we have the same taste /facepalm in embarassment*
2. Aww thank you O///O but I think I will keep my works PG15 since I never wrote PG17+ stories :")) close... but hentai? Uhh nope. (Except if people pushes me and fund me enough to cover my embarassment -but I seriously doubt it! X'D)
3. Hmm, hmm Ia agree that first impression is very important! Glad that you like my art style dear :"3 I'll also do my best to make more interesting stories for you.
4. Oh lol, if you follow my facebook page (Nusantara Visual Novel Series) you'll get a small info about my next project (same universe but entirely new story; and probably some cameo) ;)
Intercourse? Uhh.. like I said before, nope x'D hints about their activities maybe but a detailed chapter for it? Nope. Future children? O///O I'll consider it ~
I've thought about bonus ending/mystery character for my next project tho ;)
5. Don't worry, it will probably range arpund $10 for early birds and $15 at most :"3
You know, I really love this game. Played the older version n this version. You don't know how many times I played the game on and on and on. I kept rambling and praising your fantastic works to my siblings but, they just ignored me, saying I kept on repeating the same thing over and over...Hahahaha... >///>
can't blame them tho, I sounded like a broken record... @////@ and I created this account just to comment...I think a lot of people did this too! ^.^)/
will you be making another game? or the continuation of this game? 0.0)/ I'm so looking forward to it! ...hopefully free? 'coz I'm always broke these days...sorry! I'm only rich with ideas. If you're planning on making another game, n in need of ideas, I'd be happy to help! Hahaha... ^w^)/ Anyway, to answer the questions~
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
REKSA! then Mitra and finally Rama~ :3 why? well, let's just say he's attitude tied us together... >///>
What makes you consider to play this game?
Actually, I love playing visual novels. Especially one with otome as a genre~ Tho, I'm not really picky since I also played vns that targeted males. :p
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
The story and characters! I really like this game because I can somehow relate? The fantasy theme is not too far-stretched and I always love bad ends. The arts too~ Nice arts but, if you do a lil more touch up, it'll be much better. :3 But, I'm never picky with arts in the first place. Tehee~ Seriously, a lot of commercial vns have beautiful arts but with stories that's a little...yeaaa~. But yours, wow...awesomez! And the protagonist is not dumb and hopeless like in most vns! That's a major relief! My goodness! My mind is saved! ^.^)/ Like I said, the story's good. Arghhh...why is it when I wrote comments, I never managed to tell what I feel clearly?! T^T Am I shy? O.o w-well..., let's forget about me n on with my comment! :3
umm, I'll try to buy your games, when I have money~ :3 Hopefully... ;.; I'll manage! :3 I think this is all... well, umm, do your best and keep up the good work! ^.^)/
lol I'm touched to hear you try to tell your siblings about this game x'D there's nothing can make me more happy than to see someone loves this VN as much as I do :'D
I think your wish have just came true a few weeks ago x'D I'm preparing a new VN called; Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle.
It's an entirely new story but set in the same universe (only bigger). This time you'll have a chance to travel and visit other places :'3 and maybe some cameos lol. Follow my facebook page for early news xD but sadly, it's gonna be commercial u.u
But It will be awhile until I post a WIP thread on lemmasoft/FB/dA since I'm flooded with work atm :S
and lol, Reksa is still the most popular I see x'D glad to meet fellow VN lover! (tho, I'm picky about VNs targeted at males :'D maybe you can recommend me something? last thing I played is ever-17).
Aww and thanks for saying my story is amazing! (-OuO-) I think I still have rooms for improvements -but I'll do my best to create more interesting stories in the future! but again, thanks for the healthy dose of stroking my artist's ego x'D
- and Hahahahh, lol! so you'd like to romance Purba :')) now, that's a first! but I can't blame you since I often find myself attracted to antagonist character hahahahahah, welcome to my boat! x'D But sadly, I'm not planning to make a sekuel u.u (pardon the grammar mistake, I can't press the 'kiu' button)
Overall, thanks for your support! Hope to see you around! :'3
awww, commercial...Owh well, I'm gonna start working next year so it's fine~ X3
owhh, in this vn, will the new protagonist meet with Tamara and the bachelors in the last game? or in an entire different place?
0.o owhh, I'm asking for spoilers already! XDDD please don't mind me!
Yes, yes~ Reksa is still dayum~ X333 there's no end to my flirting, it seems! XD
too bad there's no route for Purba~ :3 but, will there be route for antagonist in the next vn? o.o)/
hmmm, a recommendation...hmm, I like them with rpg, strategy and stats raising so, Kamidori Alchemy Meister for now. Owh, there's this vn that was said to challenge the manliness of ze guys called Lucy: The Eternity She Wished For~ I haven't checked it out yet tho! Too many assignments to send this year~ XDDD I feel like I'm gonna die of insomnia~
umm, well, I guess this is all? I can't really think right at the moment. hahaha...three more assignments to go until I'm set for this semester~ XDDD so,...sorry for rambling~! ;.;)/
well, I'll be seeing you again! Always support you, sweetheart~ <3
Dan ceritanya bagus, love the Indonesian-reference and cultures. Nanti mau planning bikin sequel nggak? atau spin-off? #akhirnya-ketemu-programer-indonesia
tp sygny sy gk rencana mau bkin sekuelny u.u mnurut sy crita yg ini ud resmi tutup buku tp mngkin akan ada cameony d projek brikutny :'3
projek brikutny lg in progress preparationny, dan jdulny Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle. Set in the same universe but an entirely new story + a chance to travel and explore more of Nusantara's archipelagos xD
Follow page FBku mungkin u/ news2 awal :'3 tp WIP update spertiny bkal bru muncul Desember, soalny kerjaan lg numpuk @@
Have only played Mitra's route, will answer this after I finish all, but he was so lovable. Ramma seems a bit too dangerous and dark for my liking... I will still play his route though. Reksa seem really really cute too but I will leave him for the end.
2. What makes you consider to play this game?
Story, also I like the idea of the avian race. I like Otome in general, but Im used to the more shoujo bishonnen type so this was a nice surprise
3. Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
The story then the art
4.Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
Kissing GC need a bit of practicing, thats all. Also, a random question that I do not know if it is already asked, would Tamara be able to have children with the boys? kinda asking since Mitra is so family oriented I feel sad that she might not be able to have children with him and make his dream come true... if so I would rather prefer the ending where she returns home and leaves him behind, at least he could find a woman that could make his dream come true. I mean I know children aren't needed to make a couple loving each other happy... just felt bad giving Mitra no children lol
5.Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs
If the story and art catch my attention :) , I actually didn't think I would enjoy it this much, it didn't call my attention until I played it
Hi mooninlove! Thanks for stopping by and reviewed!
1. lol, okay I'll look forward to your reactions after playing them all xD
2. Yup, a refreshing theme I guess? :'3 we've had so much in high-school/modern themes these days so I'm glad to provide something different xD
3. Aww thank you! >///<
4. *cough* thanks for the suggestion >< I guess that means I need to find more kissing references ^///^
well, this is an interesting uestion, but yes, Tamara will be able to cross-breed have children with the Avians/Komodos! >:D it's actually a minor part of the Goddess's idea to fast forward the progress of her creation's evolution; but not by much. The general idea in this story is that the 'myth' in our world about anubis, angels, centaurs, kinara kinari (humans part animals) is true and does exist but long forgotten. If there's a smoke, there's a fire.
Thank you for your reply :,) I have finished all routes and Reksa ended as my favorite, though sometimes he is too rude he ends being sweet; but I would actually marry a guy like Mitra in rl sounds like a more safe marriage -giggles-
I have just finished playing Nusantara and I really liked this game.
It is very captivating and I felt absorbed in that place with the main character which to me made me enjoy this game that I wanted to help answer some of your questions.
I enjoyed them all as each had a great backing story and they were all very unique characters.
I would have to say Rama's story sticks in my mind more than the rest I guess it struck a chord with me as It is emotionally good.
I was interested with the setting of the game and the cultural setting that made me curious. I love ancient settings/fantasy and rich culture.
The way the story is written keeps you engaged with all the characters I didn't find any dull moments. I guess that would be the great story telling and I also think the art is so good, seeing each viewpoint of the characters made the story more well rounded. The added Encyclopaedia and the history and reading about what inspired you on the Extra section was nice touches to read.
If anything it would be a few minor grammar confusion while playing considering though I can't fault the rest of the game.
There's nothing makes me more happy than to hear you enjoying my game so much -so thank you! :'D
I have to agree with you there about Rama. His route is the most challenging for me to write; probably because of its dark theme. But I'm glad to hear it makes a lasting impression on you!
You definitely stroke my artist's ego here with saying everything is good >///< but I think I still have rooms for improvement and I'll do my best to create more interesting characters and stories for you! >:D Oh and if you like the encyclopedia and the indonesian cultures, expect more in the future ;)
and lol, yes, I think grammar mistakes will be forever be my nemesis ><;
once again, thank you for your warm support! :'3 those supports always keeps me going!
I play your fantastic game again in your new version and this version is a bit better as the other, because it don't crash anymore. The second thing I can run other programmes without crash.
But your game was also good before.
And I love all your guys again, it's difficult to decide who I like the most but
1. Reksa, he's the best, sexy and possessive, and so NAUGHTY, i love this
2. Rama, I like him too, his emotional and sad together, and he is in his kind of...sweet? Yes I think so
3. Mitra, gentle and kind.^^
I love this 3 guys but the best are Reksa and Rama because the storys are deeper, also the good as well as the bad endigs are very beautiful and sad too (the bad endings).
I like your art very well also this beautiful storys. ^^ But also your characters are very good implemented. I must laugh and cry buy sthis story an characters.
Critic?...ehm longer storys? until the crash problems in your other version I don't have any critic. ^^
Yeah I would buy other games from you via kickstarter.
Keep up the good work!!!!
Rinaria
Ps. Your new picture from Reksa is amazing. ^^ 'fangirling'

Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
First off I loved playing Nusantra! The story, world, and characters are all interesting and I love the art. This is going on my favorites list.
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
I really like Reksa. I'm a sucker for dark hair+green eyes and the hostile type. But I love Mitra! He's pretty much the kind of man I want to marry (why are they always fictional?).
What makes you consider to play this game?
I love fantasy and otome games so when I saw this I had to play.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
Overall I love it! I'm not sure which element stands out the most. I think each play-through is different.Like when you start out the artwork and story stands out but as you get to know each character the characterization stands out (especially after doing Rama's path).
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
I read through some of the comments and someone mentioned the shaking. Although it does add to some scenes (for instance when Tamara falls or during the cave-in) those who are more sensitive may stop playing because of it.
Also, I enjoyed reading through the encyclopedia and learning where your inspiration for certain scenes and character designs came from. ^^
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD)
I would totally buy it if/when I have the money. That seems to be life's theme: If I had/have the money... (too bad we can't pay bills with our imagination)
Hi FlamingDiva!
First, I want to apologize for this late reply due to me being busy preparing my next project >.<;; but boy, I feel touched to hear my VN is going into your favourite list! :'D
1. lololol, so many people like hostile bachelors x'D I can't say anything since we're on the same boat tho, lol.
2. High five! I also love fantasy related stories/otome :'3
3. You noticed! x'D Yes, I made each route unique since I don't want to be repetitive and bore you guys to lala land ~ You spoil me too much tho >.< I still have rooms for improvement and I'll do my best to meet your expectation in the future! :'3
4. Oooh, so maybe the 'shake' effect is a bit intense in some parts O.O; I'll take note and tone it down a bit next time; thanks for pointing it out! and glad you like the mini-encyclopedia! I'm going to keep that feature for sure~
5. Nah, I understand. We have bills to pay and life changing from adolescent to adulthood can be a bit overwhelming x.x thanks for the support tho!
xoxo,
SweetChiel
hello! just wanted to say thank you for sharing this game! the graphics are beautiful, the story is well-written, i enjoyed the characters although rama was a bit... different sometimes (his bad end made me feel REALLY sorry for him though Q O Q!!). and i just. man this is one of my favorite if not the most favorite free otome game i've stumbled upon. i look forward to any future releases!
as for the questionnaire. .. .
my favorite is reksa!!! i'm a sucker for the hostile-then-friends-then-lovers type, and he didn't fail to deliver. also he's so cute and rather feisty at the same time? does that even make sense? hahaha. i also did enough mitra, though. he was the first route i went for - i enjoyed how down-to-earth he was.
honestly, i was looking for a otome game to play and saw this one listed and decided to give it a shot since the premise seemed interesting enough. i'm glad i decided to try it out, lol.
overall, i do like the visual novel! the element that stood out to me in the beginning was the story, and the artwork sealed the deal since it's really beautiful.
aside from that, while he's not my favorite bachelor, rama's story was... really different and had a lot of sensitive topics. i don't mean that in a bad light, rather - it was really nice to read as it's so distinctively different from mitra and reska. i felt really bad for rama if you don't take his route that he never fully heals/recovers from his past experiences and well... hits the bucket, so to speak. qq i was glad that in his route at least mc shares her own burdens with him and they both move on with their past together.
the [SPOILER] rape mention in mitra's route [/SPOILER] i found so out-of-the-blue, or rather i wasn't expecting it since that was the first relatively-dark mention in that route iirc. regardless, mitra's response to her confession was 100% A+++++. i wanted to applaud you on how you wrote his response to that scenario.
yes yes and yes!!!! i'd be glad to show any support! throws my wallet your way tbh ♥
Hi arusenu!
Thanks for coming and reviewing :'D I'm really sorry for this late reply; I was busy preparing my next project (and still is) I'm very happy to see more people is still coming and reading Nusantara tho QuQ
1. lol, I understand what you mean x'D Reksa turned out better than I expected! I'm also a fan of cold or a bit antagonistic characters... so that might be why :'))
2. YAY! and thank YOU for giving this little one a chance x'D
3. Thanks! I tried my best to make things interesting :'3 and I was quite worried too at the beginning since some events are a bit dark while my art has bright color palette -but thank God they worked well x'D
-and Yes, I created 3 different bachelors to see how you guys will react :') (easy, medium, hard?) I'm also glad that even though Rama is not your favourite, you also gave him a chance and understood his story well! *hugs*
4. lol, yeah, that part of the story is cringe-worthy >.<;; I didn't put enough events to hint on Tamara's past -I'll definitely try not to repeat the same mistake! >:'D thanks for pointing it out!
5. D'aww thank you for your support! :'D
Thanks again and I'll see you around! my next project is going nicely~
xoxo,
SweetChiel
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
Oh, this is hard. It's honestly a toss-up between Mitra and Reksa. I'm tempted to just go with Mitra, but that's a bit biased since I played his route last. I actually cried towards the end of Reksa's route when a certain spoiler-y thing happened, and he was so sweet, and I was just overcome by all the feels....
What makes you consider to play this game?
Well, lets be honest: the art was the first thing to catch my eye. What made me continue to play this game was the story and characterization. The story is unique and engaging, and the characters feel like people rather than archetypes or cardboard cut-outs.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
This is a beautifully done VN. 9/10, would play again (and again and again and...).
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
I did find some of what I assume were errors in word choice, which I assume are there because English isn't your first language. They weren't so bad that I didn't know what you meant, but they created some unintentionally funny moments. I commented on your DevArt regarding this, so I won't go into that further here.
Another thing that would be nice is some closure at the end. I was hoping for a Big Damn Kiss or some sort of lovey scene after choosing to stay, but I never got one; I chose to stay, and the game ended. I kind of felt like that dumped me out of the story rather than letting me down gently (for lack of a better metaphor). It's not a huge issue or anything, but there you are.
I think it would be nice if there were more variation in the story itself when you play different routes. I realize that this would be a LOT of extra work for you, and it's not really a big deal, but, hey, you asked.
I don't know if this is a flaw or not, but it kind of seems like Tamara is supposed to end up with Mitra (considering a few scenes that were constant throughout all three routes and some Tamara-backstory-revelation that only occurs in Mitra's route). I'm not sure if you intended for that or not (or if I'm just reading too much into it, which is entirely possible).
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD)
I will definitely buy it! You've shown in this VN that you are a pretty masterful storyteller (and heartstring-puller...), and you said that it would probably be around $10-15. That's definitely worth it! I can't wait! <3
Hi Briling thanks for reviewing!
I'm very happy that you like my art-style and even say the story is good >\\\< I'm also happy that Mitra is getting quite popular <3 but I guess Rama is not your type? XD
Grammar is still my biggest enemy and I still have rooms for improvement in my writing skills so I hope you'll be patient for my next project since I'm going to take my time learning >:')
Oh and after the credits, there should be epilogues for each bachelors o.o; I have no idea how you missed it since everyone else seems to get it x.x
Oooh, I hope it's not a bug since Ren'py is not supposed to have many bugs ><;
Also, thank you for your support! I'll do my best to reach your expectation and more in my next project! :")
Xoxo,
SweetChiel
Yeah, I'm not terribly fond of Rama. Sorry. I just don't have the patience for his shenanigans, and there was one point where he did something that REALLY pissed me off that I won't mention because of spoilers. After that point, though, I was just like, "NOPE. DONE." I just felt so outraged by it, and it was never really addressed afterwards (which I understand, since it was done at a point of super high tension towards the end of the plot, but it doesn't stop me from getting worked up about it).
Your grammar didn't actually bother me or keep me from enjoying the story, so please don't be too self-conscious about it. There were just a few instances that I noticed where the words you used were a little strange for the context of what was happening (and those times were mostly because of alternate meanings of those words and slang terminology). If you like, I would be happy to help you with things like that. Then again, no one else seems to have noticed, so maybe I only noticed because I'm kind of a word nerd. Honestly, I have so much respect for everything you've done already; this is a very minor thing.
Ahh, I see about the epilogues now. The credits rolling is usually a signal to me that the game/movie is over. My mistake. Thanks for letting me know, though! Now I have an excuse to play it again right away! Heehee! <3
OMGG!!! i LOVE LOVEEE YOUR GAME!! (pardon my caps lel) Reksa is BAE I KENNOT honestly when i first started playing your game i was like mehh..its probably gonna be those boring visual novel games but im SOO GLAD your game prove me wrong!! and my gawdd when the game included melay words i was like HEYY MY NATIVE LANGUAGE YUSSS!! i seriously cant wait for your upcoming games im so excited!! i hope more people will check out your creations >.< (p.s Rama is cute but EURRGGGGHH I WANT TO SLAP HIS FACE SOMETIMES)
lololol, thanks RhinoDino!
I can feel your enthusiasm all the way here x'D I'm still preparing my next project but glad to see someone is waiting for it! :'3
Also the walkthrough isn't showing up. I'm taken to the site but the words don't show up.....I'm not looking for a how-to-win thing I just want the CG i'm missing for Mitra.
The walkthrough needs you to click and drag your mouse over it xD
It's invisible to avoid spoilers.
ah that's cool, thanks
It's a really good game and I know how much projects like this mean to the creators, however I do have some small critiques for future reference....
1. Don't do so much with visual shaking and flashing of the screen, it can become annoying and distracting to some readers if overdone. When shaking or vibrating the screen it should be done in moderation and typically when certain actions are done. Flashing the screen is the same, if you use it try not to overdo it. Flash the screen 4 or 5 times and then either keep screen black or clear the image but if it's constantly flashing it will become very distracting to readers and it can take away the sense of "Immersion" within the story.
2. adding more music, even if it's just soft background noise is usually helpful. It's better it have more music in a VN than very little. (not that there was that much of a lack, but the beginning could've used a bit more music.)
3. Try not to do scrolling or auto continue words and dialogue unless you have a voice actor to go with it. people read at there own pace and when the words change on their own it can become frustrating to the reader if it goes too fast.
4. Make the credits skip-able, this is because if the reader has accidentally scrolled back (Like my smart self did) they will have to re-watch it, that can be a bit annoying.
Now before you get all critical and whatnot (not saying you'll get upset but just in case you do I want to clear thing's up) I just wanted to tell you that this is an amazing game and I adore it. The music that is present in the game is perfect, (I only wish there was more of it) and the CG is beautifully drawn. It's hard to find a VN with a good story line and gorgeous CG. I love the language barrier at the beginning, it's different and very creative. Not many people would think about adding that to their stories. I adore the game and the story, I love the fact that every choice you make has a direct impact on all three of the Boys and that you can get a wonderful ending but experience a heartbreaking scene.
I look forward to more of your creations and I hope you put the same amount of creativity, hope, and love into all that you do.
Hi Ashylan!
Thanks for your critiques and suggestions! X'D
I think you're talking about the beginning of the story when the legend story is being told? (auto-text) and there ARE lots of shaking and flashing when Tamara 'fell' ...even more so in the endings :"))
Oh and I take it for granted that people know how to skip text/credits with ctrl button O.O; really sorry about that.
In my next VN, I'll try to tone down the shaking/flashing ><; I tend to get carried away :"))
About more songs; this is a good idea and I was considering to hire a composer for more original musics (I'm quite a picky author and it took forever to get musics which are compatible with some scene's situation >.<). But I do thought about using Indiegogo for getting funds o.o I'm focusing on preparations atm tho -pray so my campaign in indiegogo will go well! XD
Again, thanks for your concern and support! See you around in the future!
Xoxo,
SweetChiel
No problem, I always enjoy a good VN and I love helping others make them even better. This one was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every bit of the story including the bad endings. I can't wait to see what else you come up with, and yes I was talking about the auto-text at the beginning.
I just made an account so I could comment. This game really awed me. I'm speechless after playing it... IT WAS SO GOOD. I cried, laughed, was angered... I felt so many things that I can't even fully explain myself. So I will answer your questions!
1. Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
Now, Reksa is a interesting character. After I played Mitra I was thinking "Reksa seems very similar to Pubra... is he Pubra? :o" When I played Rama route, I already knew he wasn't, but it was a nice suspense haha. So, back to Reksa, that beautiful specimen: I liked how he would growl, purr, be angry but in the end he was really a big wolfy puppy. LOVED THE GOOD END - the best, in my opinion. I just wanted a sequel to that ending haha #hornybastard. OH and he is not just a pretty face, he is a character with a personality and troubles - he is not perfect.
2.What makes you consider to play this game?
Hi sayuk! And thank you so much for being so supportive QuQ I'm touched to hear you make an account just to comment here ~
1. Lol so gentleman vs hornybastard for you x'DD hahahah I laughed in the morning when I read this -I'm glad you like their routes! It was definitely fun to write them (tho some people get turned off by Reksa's possessiveness and horniness 8'D /hammer)
But really, I'm very happy to hear you like their personalities and stories :"3
2. Lol, yup, first impression is important! I'm glad you like my art style >\\\<
3. Lol you must be talking about Mitra and Tamara's Omed-omedan kiss? X'D well to be honest, I was confused about How to portrait Mitra kissing Tamara's chin in that angle -but thanks for the concern, I'll make sure to look for more kissing pose reference :"3
4. Hmm so probably longer and more epilogues? O.o okay ~ I'll consider and learn how to make satisfying epilogues for you xD
5. I'm not sure about hardcopies -maybe a digital copy for you to download O.O I've never sent items overseas so I'm afraid it will get lost somewhere x'D
Again, thanks for your support and concern sayuk!
See you around :"3
I must agree, I recently play it about 3 days ago and made an account today to share my thoughts. I'll be honest the most awesome plot and heart felt moments, I played it blind and got rama route without even knowing and started to develop feeling for him. I really wanted to help him but end it with a bad ending, I did saw it coming when I felt like something is wrong but I accept since I did a bad job. Sorry rambling on owo;;.
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
At First it was rama when I first play blind The feels for his backstory wants me to help heal him to see better days but reksa growling and purring takes the cake because I find that when a male got into their instinct is pretty hot and makes my core pools hahaha xD.
What makes you consider to play this game?
At first I wanted a good time, I played many otome that was on here and this was the next on my list, compare it to the others this by far have the best story line for teens if added a little more like intention hentai then adult as well :3.
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
The art work, seriously caught my eyes, next would be the sound effective for the dialog, and after looking back again, I now value a good story line as long it still keep my attention and allow me to make hard choices without looking at walk through. I'm more then happy.
Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
If their anyway to get a bouns ending? For intercourse and foreshadowing kids? Also can we input in our own name for the character? Also for the next game can it be another human but still part of the same game world? (I'm not good at explain owo;;) Any chance for some of them to have a voice actor?
Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs xD)
I would be sad but if its like this then yes. I just pray that its not overly prices.
Mitra, is an awesome and hot person, he is the dream guy every GOOD girl should have but let's just say I'm NOT a good girl sooo, he could add a little more *wink wink* kinks~. Here how I images if a guy alike from mitra/rama (yeah a knew a werid combo) In the public he is both serious/cheery playboy that look like he couldn't keep it in his pants. While at nice, he one of those that werids a mask and have nightmare that would go out find a cliff or a tree near the cliff watching the ocean till he fall asleep. but hey that just me xD
Hi Yuuki!
Thanks for stopping by :'3 I'm touched when you said my story is good enough to push you to comment QuQ
1. lol I know that feeling too well dear x') I'm glad we have the same taste /facepalm in embarassment*
2. Aww thank you O///O but I think I will keep my works PG15 since I never wrote PG17+ stories :")) close... but hentai? Uhh nope. (Except if people pushes me and fund me enough to cover my embarassment -but I seriously doubt it! X'D)
3. Hmm, hmm Ia agree that first impression is very important! Glad that you like my art style dear :"3 I'll also do my best to make more interesting stories for you.
4. Oh lol, if you follow my facebook page (Nusantara Visual Novel Series) you'll get a small info about my next project (same universe but entirely new story; and probably some cameo) ;)
Intercourse? Uhh.. like I said before, nope x'D hints about their activities maybe but a detailed chapter for it? Nope. Future children? O///O I'll consider it ~
I've thought about bonus ending/mystery character for my next project tho ;)
5. Don't worry, it will probably range arpund $10 for early birds and $15 at most :"3
Thanks for visiting and see you around!
Is their a skip button somewhere?
press ctrl to skip over the parts you've read :'3
You know, I really love this game. Played the older version n this version. You don't know how many times I played the game on and on and on. I kept rambling and praising your fantastic works to my siblings but, they just ignored me, saying I kept on repeating the same thing over and over...Hahahaha... >///>
can't blame them tho, I sounded like a broken record... @////@ and I created this account just to comment...I think a lot of people did this too! ^.^)/
will you be making another game? or the continuation of this game? 0.0)/ I'm so looking forward to it! ...hopefully free? 'coz I'm always broke these days...sorry! I'm only rich with ideas. If you're planning on making another game, n in need of ideas, I'd be happy to help! Hahaha... ^w^)/ Anyway, to answer the questions~
Which bachelor you like the most? and why?
REKSA! then Mitra and finally Rama~ :3 why? well, let's just say he's attitude tied us together... >///>
What makes you consider to play this game?
Actually, I love playing visual novels. Especially one with otome as a genre~ Tho, I'm not really picky since I also played vns that targeted males. :p
Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
The story and characters! I really like this game because I can somehow relate? The fantasy theme is not too far-stretched and I always love bad ends. The arts too~ Nice arts but, if you do a lil more touch up, it'll be much better. :3 But, I'm never picky with arts in the first place. Tehee~ Seriously, a lot of commercial vns have beautiful arts but with stories that's a little...yeaaa~. But yours, wow...awesomez! And the protagonist is not dumb and hopeless like in most vns! That's a major relief! My goodness! My mind is saved! ^.^)/ Like I said, the story's good. Arghhh...why is it when I wrote comments, I never managed to tell what I feel clearly?! T^T Am I shy? O.o w-well..., let's forget about me n on with my comment! :3
umm, I'll try to buy your games, when I have money~ :3 Hopefully... ;.; I'll manage! :3 I think this is all... well, umm, do your best and keep up the good work! ^.^)/
umm...also, I hope there'll be a route for Purba? :3 I wanted to seduce him and see his reactions! O.o)/
>///> I'd been told by a lot of people that I'm naughty and sadistic~ Hahaha...
Hi Ayuni thanks for stopping by! :'3
lol I'm touched to hear you try to tell your siblings about this game x'D there's nothing can make me more happy than to see someone loves this VN as much as I do :'D
I think your wish have just came true a few weeks ago x'D I'm preparing a new VN called; Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle.
It's an entirely new story but set in the same universe (only bigger). This time you'll have a chance to travel and visit other places :'3 and maybe some cameos lol. Follow my facebook page for early news xD but sadly, it's gonna be commercial u.u
But It will be awhile until I post a WIP thread on lemmasoft/FB/dA since I'm flooded with work atm :S
and lol, Reksa is still the most popular I see x'D glad to meet fellow VN lover! (tho, I'm picky about VNs targeted at males :'D maybe you can recommend me something? last thing I played is ever-17).
Aww and thanks for saying my story is amazing! (-OuO-) I think I still have rooms for improvements -but I'll do my best to create more interesting stories in the future! but again, thanks for the healthy dose of stroking my artist's ego x'D
- and Hahahahh, lol! so you'd like to romance Purba :')) now, that's a first! but I can't blame you since I often find myself attracted to antagonist character hahahahahah, welcome to my boat! x'D But sadly, I'm not planning to make a sekuel u.u (pardon the grammar mistake, I can't press the 'kiu' button)
Overall, thanks for your support! Hope to see you around! :'3
xoxo,
SweetChiel
Yeay! A new vn~! :3
awww, commercial...Owh well, I'm gonna start working next year so it's fine~ X3
owhh, in this vn, will the new protagonist meet with Tamara and the bachelors in the last game? or in an entire different place?
0.o owhh, I'm asking for spoilers already! XDDD please don't mind me!
Yes, yes~ Reksa is still dayum~ X333 there's no end to my flirting, it seems! XD
too bad there's no route for Purba~ :3 but, will there be route for antagonist in the next vn? o.o)/
hmmm, a recommendation...hmm, I like them with rpg, strategy and stats raising so, Kamidori Alchemy Meister for now. Owh, there's this vn that was said to challenge the manliness of ze guys called Lucy: The Eternity She Wished For~ I haven't checked it out yet tho! Too many assignments to send this year~ XDDD I feel like I'm gonna die of insomnia~
umm, well, I guess this is all? I can't really think right at the moment. hahaha...three more assignments to go until I'm set for this semester~ XDDD so,...sorry for rambling~! ;.;)/
well, I'll be seeing you again! Always support you, sweetheart~ <3
You've got me cry in the Reksa end.. good job.
Dan ceritanya bagus, love the Indonesian-reference and cultures. Nanti mau planning bikin sequel nggak? atau spin-off? #akhirnya-ketemu-programer-indonesia
Iyaa? wah, makasiih >///<
tp sygny sy gk rencana mau bkin sekuelny u.u mnurut sy crita yg ini ud resmi tutup buku tp mngkin akan ada cameony d projek brikutny :'3
projek brikutny lg in progress preparationny, dan jdulny Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle. Set in the same universe but an entirely new story + a chance to travel and explore more of Nusantara's archipelagos xD
Follow page FBku mungkin u/ news2 awal :'3 tp WIP update spertiny bkal bru muncul Desember, soalny kerjaan lg numpuk @@
Have only played Mitra's route, will answer this after I finish all, but he was so lovable. Ramma seems a bit too dangerous and dark for my liking... I will still play his route though. Reksa seem really really cute too but I will leave him for the end.
2. What makes you consider to play this game?
Story, also I like the idea of the avian race. I like Otome in general, but Im used to the more shoujo bishonnen type so this was a nice surprise
3. Overall, what do you think about this visual novel? and what element stands out the most? (art? story? character?)
The story then the art
4.Do you have any question or constructive critiques? I will read all the comments and reply to them like I do in Lemmasoft.
Kissing GC need a bit of practicing, thats all. Also, a random question that I do not know if it is already asked, would Tamara be able to have children with the boys? kinda asking since Mitra is so family oriented I feel sad that she might not be able to have children with him and make his dream come true... if so I would rather prefer the ending where she returns home and leaves him behind, at least he could find a woman that could make his dream come true. I mean I know children aren't needed to make a couple loving each other happy... just felt bad giving Mitra no children lol
5.Last but not least, if I make another visual novel, will you consider buying it? via patreon or kickstarter that is (since I need to eat, electricity, and such things when I make VNs
If the story and art catch my attention :) , I actually didn't think I would enjoy it this much, it didn't call my attention until I played it
Hi mooninlove! Thanks for stopping by and reviewed!
1. lol, okay I'll look forward to your reactions after playing them all xD
2. Yup, a refreshing theme I guess? :'3 we've had so much in high-school/modern themes these days so I'm glad to provide something different xD
3. Aww thank you! >///<
4. *cough* thanks for the suggestion >< I guess that means I need to find more kissing references ^///^
well, this is an interesting uestion, but yes, Tamara will be able to
cross-breedhave children with the Avians/Komodos! >:D it's actually a minor part of the Goddess's idea to fast forward the progress of her creation's evolution; but not by much. The general idea in this story is that the 'myth' in our world about anubis, angels, centaurs, kinara kinari (humans part animals) is true and does exist but long forgotten. If there's a smoke, there's a fire.I hope this clears some things? :'3
Thanks for your support and see you around!
xoxo,
SweetChiel
Thank you for your reply :,) I have finished all routes and Reksa ended as my favorite, though sometimes he is too rude he ends being sweet; but I would actually marry a guy like Mitra in rl sounds like a more safe marriage -giggles-
Hello, I hope you are well.
I have just finished playing Nusantara and I really liked this game.
It is very captivating and I felt absorbed in that place with the main character which to me made me enjoy this game that I wanted to help answer some of your questions.
I enjoyed them all as each had a great backing story and they were all very unique characters.
I would have to say Rama's story sticks in my mind more than the rest I guess it struck a chord with me as It is emotionally good.
I was interested with the setting of the game and the cultural setting that made me curious. I love ancient settings/fantasy and rich culture.
The way the story is written keeps you engaged with all the characters I didn't find any dull moments. I guess that would be the great story telling and I also think the art is so good, seeing each viewpoint of the characters made the story more well rounded. The added Encyclopaedia and the history and reading about what inspired you on the Extra section was nice touches to read.
If anything it would be a few minor grammar confusion while playing considering though I can't fault the rest of the game.
Yes! I would support you. Definitely.
I'm looking forward to your future creations.

HI sum11!
thanks for visiting and reviewing! :'3
There's nothing makes me more happy than to hear you enjoying my game so much -so thank you! :'D
I have to agree with you there about Rama. His route is the most challenging for me to write; probably because of its dark theme. But I'm glad to hear it makes a lasting impression on you!
You definitely stroke my artist's ego here with saying everything is good >///< but I think I still have rooms for improvement and I'll do my best to create more interesting characters and stories for you! >:D Oh and if you like the encyclopedia and the indonesian cultures, expect more in the future ;)
and lol, yes, I think grammar mistakes will be forever be my nemesis ><;
once again, thank you for your warm support! :'3 those supports always keeps me going!

Hi again ^^,
I play your fantastic game again in your new version and this version is a bit better as the other, because it don't crash anymore. The second thing I can run other programmes without crash.
But your game was also good before.
And I love all your guys again, it's difficult to decide who I like the most but
1. Reksa, he's the best, sexy and possessive, and so NAUGHTY, i love this
2. Rama, I like him too, his emotional and sad together, and he is in his kind of...sweet? Yes I think so
3. Mitra, gentle and kind.^^
I love this 3 guys but the best are Reksa and Rama because the storys are deeper, also the good as well as the bad endigs are very beautiful and sad too (the bad endings).
I like your art very well also this beautiful storys. ^^ But also your characters are very good implemented. I must laugh and cry buy sthis story an characters.
Critic?...ehm longer storys? until the crash problems in your other version I don't have any critic. ^^
Yeah I would buy other games from you via kickstarter.
Keep up the good work!!!!

Ps. Your new picture from Reksa is amazing. ^^ 'fangirling'
I feel you girl! Reksa is the best!, don't get me wrong, the other two are amazing too. But Reksa is just.. 'fangirling' :P
Hi Rinaria! Very sorry for this late reply ><; work has been hectic +I'm preparing for my new project :"D
I'm happy to know you enjoy the re-make with lesser crash :"D
1.IKR! He's much more naughtier than I thought x'D people said his route has more sexual tension than the other lol.
2. Yes, Rama is complicated and a challenge to write :D
3. Chivalry is not dead x'D (at least in this world lol)
I love the fact that you give all the bachelors a chance and how they managed to catch your attention :"3
I'm thinking about patreon/indieGogo in the future since kickstarter doesnt accept paypal unless I have a bank account in USA x'D
Thank you for the support! I'll do my best to make more stories in the future! :")
Also, lol thanks, I have to admit that Reksa's bonus pic is maybe a lil bias since I love autumn season x'D
