I knew i shouldnt have played this game, i shouldn't be obsessed but i need so much more. Never thought i would enjoy a click style game, many props and look forward to hopefully many more chapters !!
Stop harassing game devs man, you're going to discourage so many game makers you idiot. You're literally on half of the games I look at demanding more updates. Just chill man.
Um I guess whole disssion about who dom got cut because someone got upset its saddening because the funniest and my fav part because truth/irony of sence I just want you to know it awesome and though not there anymore.i was glad I glad I got play a version with it in the game I just played tho it again didn't see and xtra sence tho
This is a wonderful game. Sadly I won't be able to afford the last chapter, but for those who can, please get this game. It is very well written and the character development throughout is VERY well conceived. I highly recommend this game.
Thank you for the story that I was able to get through. You are a wonderful author.
I'm currently working on the first episode of A Moment of Bliss. It should be out late April or early May. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Lots more to come!
All of my games are on my main itch.io page. The only other game I've completed is Avalon. It was my first novel so the graphics aren't great in the beginning, and the story is more dramatic. But it's cute, warm, and funny in a lot of places. Thank you for your support.
Hi, I love your work. Btw, I bought your final work of APAT. And then I found out that the name of the main character, which I chose in the previous version, was changed into some other name. And why does Petal suddenly call him 'guardian'?
Hi there. I like what you do, and paid and downloaded the game several times, even when it has one of the highest prices here. BUT - how is the v.5 better/different than the previous v.4? I cannot see it has more of the story... so for $8 I have maybe technically better version, but the story has not progressed... Pity.
Chapter Five will include the conclusion to the story. If you started from a save point, try starting the game fresh. If you still can reach the final chapter, contact me on Discord so I can help you out.
Steam has rejected A Petal Among Thorns entirely. They will not allow it on their platform. I begged for them to reconsider but they were unwavering in their decision.
That is very odd. Did they give a rationale? Can't be due to quality, as Steam has plenty of inferior and mediocre drivel on their site. I guess they don't have an appeal process?
Anywho, I will download your Chapter 5 and start from scratch. You've put together a good AVN, from what I have seen thus far...it has actually motivated me to venture forth with learning the craft of VN development. I have some ideas I would like to explore. Again, good job!
There is an age variable for Petal that you can change in the game. Instead of simply asking me to remove it, they banned my game entirely without the option for appeal. I geniuenly consider this one of the most vile and heinous things I've experienced from a platform. They're supposed to work with developers, but here they're working against me. They even decided to patronize me, belittle me, act passive-aggressive, accusatory, and self-righteous. It was truly unbelievable to witness their behavior.
wait so is a moment of bliss not gonna happen??? i loved the living $h1t out of a petal among thorns and would be devastated if i will never get the chance to play the sequels :(
A Moment of Bliss is in development. Steam can decide not to give a platform to my work, but it doesn't control what I make. I have no plans to alter my course. We should see a release for A Moment of Bliss in late April or early May. Thank you for your support.
I just noticed that the status on the main page here still says "in development", you may want to change that to "released". Some potential customers may be turned off if they think it is in early access.
Thank you, Applesaucefan! Steam is a setback, but not an ending. A Moment of Bliss, the sequel to APAT, is still going to be amazing. I appreciate your support.
Lockheart, I have two questions for you, the first is a suggestion for the promotion of your game, why don't you add A Petal Among Thorns on Google Play Store only with Censorship, and the uncensored version players download here, that it would be really good for your game, and the second question is is the game going to be on steam?
Steam outright rejected the game without the possibility of resubmission. A Petal Among Thorns will not be coming to Steam. The Google Play store idea is an intriguing one, but I haven't seen anyone else do that. I'd imagine there might be some complication to that.
You're certainly welcome to come talk to me more elaborately on Discord. I'm usually around.
okay okay understand, one more question for you, the game will soon have other languages like "French, Japanese, Italian and Portuguese" a point that would be nice for your game.
Is it possible for your heart to have an orgasm? Because holy shit, even only going to Chapter 4, that was quite possibly the best romance and sex game I have ever played. I'm like actually in love with Petal now.
Hey Lockheart ..im very enjoy your A PETAL AMONG THORNS ..btw i wonder why you put a (Final) on chapter 5 isn't the last up date on this game? If it's true so im sadÓ╭╮Ò
This story continues in the sequel which will be titled A Moment of Bliss. It will be a more ambitious endeavor with more mechanics and more love interests. It will be a few months before I have anything to present though. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed A Petal Among Thorns. Petal will return. :-)
Hello, really interested in this game but am confused as I am fairly new to Itch.io. If I buy the Chapter 5 Final does that also come with the other chapters in the download? Thanks! Looking forward to trying out your work. Just picked up Avalon as I figure that is the place to start.
Yes, Chapter Five includes all chapters. You're welcome to pick up Chapter Four (which includes all previous chapters) if you want to test it out first. Thank you for your support!
Just finished and I got say well done only thing small small nit pick tho petal seems to get not being truthful while mc doesn't quite have same opp but still u made great game and I can't wait for next chapter
$2.99 isn't any more than what I have paid in the past for a Visual Novelette that had less quality and a mediocre storyline. After reading chapters 1-4 I was planning on donating $5.00 anyways ($1.00 a chapter seemed fair) because it was so good, I mean really good. Heck who am I fooling "Petal Among Thorns" is the best by far. But hey now I can get the whole novelette for less than $5.00. AWESOME! You have some talent my friend. I only wish this story went on forever. I love it. Great work! Great work! Great work!
Thank you, blackboxzero! The story will continue in A Moment of Bliss. There's still a lot more to tell, and a lot more content to come. I appreciate your support.
When will the story about Bliss commence? I know you're also working in the Penny story so my question is curiosity driven by the allure of this family harem development. Kind of like Sisterly Lust but WAY better. I'm hoping for similar girl/girl options with the mom and other sisters. Which assumes there'd also be a Moon path/story. Btw...your ability to suggest backstory through character dialogue hints is extraordinary! The mom's story seems to want to dovetail into a happy ending for all and I eagerly anticipate that reveal. Not saying more about my suspicions for fear of being a spoiler. Great work friend...I will support you!
Thank you, GhostCherokee! I've already started working on Bliss's game, but it will be a few months before I have anything to show. We'll have at least one extra love interest in A Moment of Bliss. It won't be Moon though. We're going to save her story for later. I appreciate your support!
I'm working my way through the current version of Penny. Another thing you're doing here that is excellent is the associated story lines. You're a cut above the other dev's I've been exposed to. I only got interested in AVN's about 3 or 4 months ago. I've been through about 70 now... and while there are some very quality pieces of work out there... you're significantly more sophisticated. It also seems obvious that English is a first language for you.... or at least a second language. Not just for the ability to provide a more colloquial dialogue but the more elegant handling of speech. I am actually assisting with the dev's of Lust Academy helping them by going through their dialogue and 'Americanizing' it. Their work is good graphically and I like the premise of the story... it has great potential. But the dialogue... like most Russian developed work... is horrible. My sense of this genre is that it is still relatively young and it has so much exciting potential if it is produced by real artists. ... with real resources. It should not take years to produce completed versions of stories and I am confident that this will evolve rapidly once the real potential is experienced and the audience grows. I am going to go through my Patreon subscriptions and wean some of them off because I started supporting some when I was first getting into AVN's. I have a much better sense of which dev's are really deserving support. Once that's done I'll increase my support. I am really impressed by your work.
Thank you, GhostCherokee. You're certainly correct, this industry is still growing. I've been told there should be a rather big boom in popularity for this market soon. I am a native English speaker, and I've developed my writing and rendering skills considerably over the last few years. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed writing quality or graphics quality having a large influence on the success of a visual novel. There are also large entities working against this industry. It will be interesting to see how things progress over the next few years.
One main reason that some novels are in development forever is because once you finish a novel, you'll lost an estimated 30% of your patrons. With Steam picking up popularity for visual novels, we may see a shift from relying on patronage to more developers trying to crank out novels to get more Steam sales. Another aspect in the industry that will be interesting to watch unfold.
I'm sure glad you're enjoying my work! And, of course, I always appreciate support. I submit a Progress Report to my Patrons every other week, so you'll always know where I'm at with my current build. Be sure to stop by the Discord. We have an incredible community there.
The paradigm of this genre depending on subscriptions is, as you know, a detriment to the quality of the product. The slow grind, for the sake of sub retention, defines structure and defeats the art. The Steam model would be far superior because it allows for quality to define income. I'd gladly pay more for better product and thus look forward to a given developer's work. And that model doesn't destroy the subscription model as developers could still have their own 'clubs' where subscribers could receive the latest work free or at a discount. The difference is that the developer can then produce his/her work according to an artful vision rather than a structured economy.
You say that you expect some growth in the market and, on that point, I'm a little surprised that we haven't seen a real investment from the porn industry at large to see this genre fueled. I see it happening a little... but my sense is that we're on the cusp of something much larger emerging.
I completed the latest version of Penny and have some thoughts to share on it. Female protagonists present a challenge based on their sexuality. You, apparently by nature, want to wrestle with basic ethical and moral arguments. That's understandable when dealing with topics like incest and the social mores associated. (And that's not even diving into the questions related such as the relevant influences in childhood sexual development.) Having said that, with Penny there's a number of issues in the story that are challenging and that illustrate a larger matter with female pro's. Penny appears to be compelled to committed monogamy due to her morals and ethics. That limits, to a large degree, the amount of sexual encounters that fit in the story's development. There are 'hints' thus far in the story of other potential sexual content developments but they are thin, so far, and seemingly extraneous to the main story line. So I am curious to see how that will be developed. And one question of female pro's is how to develop that engaging sexual content (that is required to appeal to the audience these AVNs are directed at) unless she is, for the sake of discussion, a nymphomaniac.... or at least, per some applied lens, appears to be. And it seems, based on the kinds of moral issues you want to address, there is some conundrum of opposing constructs there. I am married to a bisexual woman who, interestingly enough, is only interested in me as far as male encounters are concerned, but who is really horny to have lots of experiences with other women. Consequently, we don't fit very well in the mainstream swinger paradigm, at least not without some challenge, because it is, to large extent, male driven. Since I'm mostly a voyeur my wife and I fit together well, yet have some challenges whereas finding adventures for her. This is relevant as it highlights the difference in female sexuality and relates the general matter of how women characters are perceived. But the point about how to use female pro's in AVNs and keep them 'pervy' is challenging indeed. So, it will be interesting to see how Penny develops.
I'm currently taking a poll to see if my Patrons want me to continue working on Penny's game or focus on A Moment of Bliss. You're not wrong, it would be tricky to make Penny's game work in this market. Maybe even impossible. It's predominantly males who play these games, and female protagonist games don't tend to do as well. I've had some clever ideas, but I doubt they are clever enough to propel Penny's game to even moderate success. Still, I am very passionate about Penny and I would love to work with her more.
You're welcome to join my Discord to chat more about it with me. I'm active there, and so is the community I've built. :-)
@Lockheart I don't know if the ping is necessary or flat out useless, but I'm new here and I just wanted to ask a question.
So, I started playing the game and I noticed an option called Video HWA, and I was wondering what does that work for? There are a few more settings I don't quite understand, but this is the one I'm most concerned about.
I played your game for a while now on Android and there is one major bug that really annoyed me for a while. When set the character names and so on in the beginning all works fine but when you save and close the game and you start it new after a while. Then all settings are deleted and your characters will named by default and allso the relationship is landlord and so on. Even if you go in to the menu and set them new they will not change. Only way is to start a new game and skip everything to the point where you left of . But all in all your game is really awesome so far . Can't wait for the next update 😊

While you're in game, you can go into the preferences menu and change all the titles. Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Any chance this makes its way to Steam?
Steam has rejected A Petal Among Thorns entirely. They will not allow it on their platform. I begged for them to reconsider but they were unwavering in their decision.

I have publicly available posts on my Patreon detailing the fiasco. You can check them out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/steam-release-62376576
Roger that. I will check them out. Chin up - you did great work, and I am sure your future endeavors will be great, too!
wait so is a moment of bliss not gonna happen??? i loved the living $h1t out of a petal among thorns and would be devastated if i will never get the chance to play the sequels :(

Nope. It's the same. There just wasn't any reason to name it Chapter 5 anymore. Chapter 5 is simply the complete game.
I just noticed that the status on the main page here still says "in development", you may want to change that to "released". Some potential customers may be turned off if they think it is in early access.
Thank you! I'll get that fixed up.
Thank you, Applesaucefan! Steam is a setback, but not an ending. A Moment of Bliss, the sequel to APAT, is still going to be amazing. I appreciate your support.
Lockheart, I have two questions for you, the first is a suggestion for the promotion of your game, why don't you add A Petal Among Thorns on Google Play Store only with Censorship, and the uncensored version players download here, that it would be really good for your game, and the second question is is the game going to be on steam?

okay okay understand, one more question for you, the game will soon have other languages like "French, Japanese, Italian and Portuguese" a point that would be nice for your game.
best 20$ i have ever spent... keep up the great stories!!
I appreciate the support. Thank you
Sad to hear steam screwed you over but thankfully I am able to get your game here.
Great game, 5/5
Touching story, Petal is cute, story is well written.
Well worth the money.
Would have rate it earlier, if i didn't forget. ^^'
Absolutely top tier. I was happy to see that the relationship with Petal will continue, anything else would be heart breaking. Well done!
As I promised a few days ago, here I am with a purchase and a little bonus, keep up the good work!!
Unfortunately this game does not work correctly on macOS Monterey (12.1) Apple Silicon. It looks to be an error within Ren'Py
Amazing!
Is it possible for your heart to have an orgasm? Because holy shit, even only going to Chapter 4, that was quite possibly the best romance and sex game I have ever played. I'm like actually in love with Petal now.
You're fucking awesome.
Hey Lockheart ..im very enjoy your A PETAL AMONG THORNS ..btw i wonder why you put a (Final) on chapter 5 isn't the last up date on this game? If it's true so im sadÓ╭╮Ò

Come on man it's a log time.relese the update....
I feel that. Trying to create this last Chapter has been rough on me too.
I'm going to try to have a build out the beginning of next month. I appreciate your patience.
ok man we know you're doing it.
@Lockheart I don't know if the ping is necessary or flat out useless, but I'm new here and I just wanted to ask a question.
So, I started playing the game and I noticed an option called Video HWA, and I was wondering what does that work for? There are a few more settings I don't quite understand, but this is the one I'm most concerned about.
It's a Hardware Accelerator on / off switch. If you're having trouble running the game, you can turn that to potentially fix the issue.
@Lockheart hey man ,
I played your game for a while now on Android and there is one major bug that really annoyed me for a while. When set the character names and so on in the beginning all works fine but when you save and close the game and you start it new after a while. Then all settings are deleted and your characters will named by default and allso the relationship is landlord and so on. Even if you go in to the menu and set them new they will not change. Only way is to start a new game and skip everything to the point where you left of . But all in all your game is really awesome so far . Can't wait for the next update 😊
PS: I am playing on a One plus 7 pro
I'd love to help but I'll be able to assist you a lot better on Discord. Can you join my Discord?
Can't wait for the next update. Genuinely one of the best Visual Novels I've played.
Why does it ask me for permission to access all the files on the device?????? (in android btw)
Android asks for your permission to access files so it can look for save files from previous builds.
A real diamond in the rough! Everything just clicked. Maybe we were meant to each other????
