hi i just came across this and i really want to download the game but there is no download button. Please could someone help me

(+2)

itch.io will no longer allow me to sell my work through them. In order to get Avalon, you can purchase it on Steam here. You can also can access to all my work by subscribing to my Patreon.  Sorry for the inconvenience, chappers. 

okay thank you and i will have a look

not sure if you're still here cause of the BS going on right now. but you are fucking awesome Lockheart! i love your games! it's like with and every update the game is polished before it's even released. seriously, I'll be playing one of your games and get irritated or disappointed that it comes to an and. then be like oh, it's not the final release. hopefully you read this; if not here then what is your favorite platform to sell your games on that will hopefully notify me upon every update you release? for the most part i just use f95 and donate or pay the developer(s) that feel like deserve it, cause you can definitely tell with these game whether someone has a love and passion for this ;) or rather it's just a fleeting fancy. 

Hey, big! I appreciate the support, and the kind words especially in this difficult time. You can find me on my Discord where I'll have links to my Patreon and SubscribeStar. I also let everyone know what is going on in my development process frequently on Discord. Thanks again, and hope to see you there!

"|| PLEASE NOTE: itch.io has decided they no longer wish to work with me"

How will that affekt owned titles here?

Today I own Avalon, A Petal Among Thorns, and A Moment of Bliss.

(+1)

This decision was not up to me. This is itch.io's platform, they hold all the power here. There's nothing I can do about that. 

If you join my Discord, I'll try to get you copies of whatever games you've purchased. That's all I can do. I'm sorry, DYu.

Hello! I am tremmi from tremmiGames! Interested in cross-post in itch and Patreon :) Thank you!

Hey, Tremmi! I'm currently not doing cross-promotions while my company goes through this current transition period. Thank you for the offer though.

What a story! And it illuminates subjects that are treated with silence, and leaves everything to the one who is exploited in the most cruel way.

The bonus act "What if..?" really illuminate the whole, subject, and sorry to say, how easy it can be to avoid this happening.

Your artwork, Lockheart, puts you, into my own very small legendary list of artists, that I admire.

No this game is complete. It continues the story with "A Petal Among Thorns" and then with "A Moment of Bliss" it's a trilogy.

Not quite... Avalon happens *after* APAT and AMOB. APAT and AMOB are part of the Rose Garden trilogy, which will include the Moon chapter as well (Lock indicated he might be changing the title of it, so I don't know how to abbreviate it! LOL)

(+4)(-1)

Perhaps we'll call it... Moon Pie?

Nooooooooo!!!!     😂

I am replying to Putbull1987:

Renders: 5/5 couldn't expect more.

Characters: 5/5 How you managed this, I don't know!

Story: 5/5 Excellent story with excellent conversations, and some surprises at the end which is worth the game price itself!

(+1)

TL;DR – This game is good. It's not amazing. But it is good and it's worth your time! I would give the game a 4/5. Should be mentioned that this game deals with some heavy topics and can get a little depressing.

Renders – 4/5- Well they are good nothing amazing nothing bad, just decent/good.

Characters - 5/5 - The characters in this game are pretty well-written. They behave semi-realistic which is better than most of the visual novels. I was surprised at how fast I grew to like some of them. Their relationships development was a bit rushed a but I'm willing to forgive that. There was some fun/nice banter between the characters which is nice.

Story/Writing -4/5- The dev has done an incredible job giving characters a heart. As you learn more about each character, you rapidly grow attached and will start to feel their pain. One caveat is that all of the mysteries are solved and all the conflicts ended off-screen and then you are just told about them later. 

Sex Scenes -4/5- They were extremely rewarding for having built your way up to that point, but they need more dialog. Right now they are shorter than I would like.

And abandoned on pc.

I was not aware they had run out. I'll try to get more. :-)

More keys have been added. Thank you for letting me know they had run out.

will purchase on steam! hope to see your other titles on steam aswel, its just a nice place to have your games collected. keep up the amazing work!

(+1)

Steam has rejected A Petal Among Thorns without the possibility of resubmission, but I'm going to try to get A Moment of Bliss on there. Thank you for your support, Evilbean. 

Firstly, I like the game and bought it on steam. But it does feel a little like it's written by someone with ADHD. The script is a big long series of and then scenes. It introduces bad guys and kills them off, someone's upset then horny then you are on holiday then an assassination attempt.. etc etc.. I wish it spent more time on each scene and had a little more depth of character.

(+1)

You may enjoy A Petal Among Thorns a bit more. It's my second completed work, and it's paced a bit better. Also it's more down to earth.

Thanks, like I say I bought the game, so I hope my criticisms didn't come across as too harsh. I do like it and parts of it did make me chuckle. My issue was purely about the flow and and depth of the dialogue. I'll try PAT

(-6)

I know this is a stupid question, but is it possible to get the game without paying?

(+7)

Well first of all through god, all things are possible so jot that down.

nice response you jabroni

Absolutely enamoured with APATT and once I'm done with it I plan on picking up Avalon.  Any reason the Linux build isn't included on Steam?

(+1)

I believe I've rectified this issue. It does run on Linux, I just didn't have the right box checked on Steam. Steamworks is pretty tough to navigate. Thank you for enjoying my work! 

(+2)

I just saw you added Linux as a platform; I assume for x66?  Just letting you know I'm enjoying your games (currently Avalon) on my Raspberry Pi 4B; I just run it from the Ren'Py launcher (since I'm on Manjaro-ARM, I can't just put in the 32-bit ARM Ren'Py libraries, so I use the distro-supplied Ren-Py).

Definitely a tribute to Ren'Py's portability and kudos to you, too, for a good job coding.  

(+2)

I build all my distributions for PC and Linx so they should work for both. I didn't realize that I didn't have the box checked. Avalon should work with PC and Linux. Let me know if it doesn't though. 

(2 edits) (+1)

RenPy games are coded in python so they are mostly platform-independent. You should be able to launch the linux version on your rpi without needing to use the SDK but the SDK will always work regardless. For example, I'm on a Mac M1 which is also arm but it runs the Mac version compiled by lock on x86 without issue and don't need to use the SDK

edit: this doesn't work with the pc/windows version since it's a compiled x86 binary .exe file but on *nix OS' they use a shell script to invoke python directly so it should work fine

(+2)

The RPi needs ARM libraries that I've not seen included with any game.  Additionally, the 32-bit libraries that Ren'Py provides as an optional download won't work with a 64-bit RPi OS, so they need to be compiled or, as the case with Manjaro ARM, provided by the distro's renpy package.

I'm not asking game devs to provide RPi builds - they have enough work to do - just pointing out that the game can indeed be played on a Raspberry Pi and it's quite easy for users to do.  :-)

(+1)

Hey,

I'm currently playing Avalon and I really love it! I will probably write more when I'm finished but I wanted to ask something else. I want to support you on Patreon - but I can't find a way to subscribe to you there. It's just an empty profile. Is that an error?  

Thank you for your work! 

(+2)

It's wonderful to hear you're enjoying Avalon. I've rather missed working with her lately. 

I've closed my Patreon down for now as I'm still trying to find my way in this market. Penny's game was ambitious and I thought I had something special with her game but it turned out to be rather poorly received so I've taken a step back to learn more about this community and where my place is in it exactly. Once I'm more confident in my abilities and I feel like I'm on the right track, I may open it back up. 

Penny for Your Thoughts is the spin off I did featuring Penny. It's technically complete as the story does conclude so if you're interested in seeing more of her, I highly recommend it. I put a considerable amount of effort into it. 

Thank you for your support and I'll keep everyone posted if I decide to open my Patreon back up. 

(+2)

Okay, I get that. I will definitely support you on Patreon, once you decide to open it back up. You put so much work and effort into your games - you really deserve more.

I have actually played Penny for your thoughts before Avalon, I was the guy who left the last comment there :)

You can't imagine how happy I was when I realized that the worlds of Avalon and Penny are connected :D I think she is my favorite character from all the visual novels I have played.

Patreon is up and running for Lockheart...

(+2)

Yep, already saw it and support him. But thank you anyways!

Is there a way to get the secret code after purchasing it?

(+3)

It's megalodong. :-)

This is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. I love how you mixed all of the emotions and personalities. The subject matter itself is hard to tell a story about but you pulled it off! I think my only complaint was the ending. Although I realize that the end goal was about Avalon overcoming her trauma, I couldn't help but feel like he ending was rather abrupt. It just left me wanting to see more. I had hoped to see where Eric, Avalon and Dallas (My story arc) would have been down the road. Did Avalon and Eric Marry? Did they have a family? Does Dallas stay with them? Lastly, I liked Avalons hair in the alternate story line much much better than in the main story. She was so much more attractive with her hair down that with it up in that strange braid and short cut.

Please keep turning out the great stories.  I have been following a Petal Among Thorns and I love it so far. I plan to pick up a Penny for your Thoughts very soon.

(+5)

Thank you, GunDriver! Avalon was very much a practice novel for me. I learned a lot from making it. I do hope to touch on what happens in the future for them but for now it's a mystery. I changed a few things about Avalon for the What If..? version and she looked much better. I wish I had made her that way from the beginning. As I said, I learned a lot and that's why Petal is so darling. 

I'm going to keep working on these novels for as long as I can. I appreciate your support and your kind words.

(+1)

Hi Lockheart, this looks promising. Is there a demo I could try?

(+4)

Unfortunately I don't have a demo available but A Petal Among Thorns' first release is now available for free. If you enjoy that it should be a good indicator whether you'll enjoy Avalon. Thank you for your interest, reyspero. 

(+1)

Thanks Lockheart! I will go check it out.

(+5)(-1)

This is handedly one of my absolutely most favorite AVN stories I  have yet come across. I'm very much looking forward to more stories from Lockheart.

Thank you, Cole! I always appreciate your support. You help keep me going! :-)

Really enjoyed it. Keep making them :-)

Penny for Your Thoughts is scheduled for its first release early next month. I hope you'll give it a try. I'm glad you enjoyed Avalon! 

Will do, thank you.

Cant download Adroid version it says the file is not available anymore

You're welcome to try the MEGA link. Let me know if you're still having trouble.

Very good.  I thought the adult scenes were a bit short/rushed, but the overall story was pretty good.  Definitely worth my time and money.

(+3)

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. The adult scenes were underdeveloped, I'm trying to correct this in my next game. I hope you'll give it a try when it releases. :-)

(+2)

I plan on it.  That's why I'm one of your patrons on Patreon.

fucking cried while smiling and having a heart ache while playing ಥ‿ಥ loved the story, especially the main character being goofy. Will you be making more games? Avalon was too fucking good 

(+3)

Hey, Lux Arc! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed Avalon. It was a bit dramatic at points. Writing a few of those more intense scenes had me in tears myself. But in the end, I think it was a heartwarming story. 

I'm working on Penny's spin-off story now. It's called 'Penny for Your Thoughts'. We should see a first release around May. I hope you enjoy it too! Thanks for playing!

(+4)(-1)

Making things dramatic personally was never a bad thing from time to time. Personally I think it gave the character life, as if I was reading an actual person life story. Keep doing what you're doing. Your awesome

Thank you, Elduriel! I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed Avalon. I'm working hard on my next novel. I hope you enjoy it too! :-)

really enjoy your writing - can't wait to play Penny's Game

Have you done any other games/novels?

(+2)

Penny's game is in the works and it's coming along nicely.  We should see a first release in early May. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Avalon!

I do have two other very short practice stories I did early on in my VN career. They're only about 15 minutes long each but they've got some fun moments. One is called The Time Collector and the other is Myrabelle. They unfortunately don't have any sexual content though. Links below if you'd like to play them.

Trying to download but have to wait as google is telling me too many people have downloaded the game recently. I guess that's a good thing though, eh? haha

I apologize. I've added additional links through Mega. I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy Avalon.

This visual novel is amazing, it is so interesting and enjoyable, thank you for all the work you put into it. I was just wondering how to find out what the unlock code is for the unlock section on the main menu? Thanks!

(+3)

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! It took many hours to create but it was certainly worth it. Penny's game is scheduled for an initial release in May. Hope you'll give that one a try. 

The unlock code is 'megalodong'. Enjoy. :-)

(+1)

this visual novel is utterly incredible by far the best i have ever read i enjoyed it so much this is a must have!!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I plan to have the beginning of a new story released around early May. I hope you'll give it a try too. :-)

(+1)

I will definitely be giving it a go! You have a talent I hope you continue to make many many more!

I realize the game is basically done, and maybe I'm just overly sentimental, but I always sort of like it when games like this do some sort of post credits epilogue where it time jumps some distance into the future to show (or at least describe, even if it's just text) some important event(s) in their future lives together.

like when they (all 3?) get engaged, or married, or birth of first child, or birth of first grandchild, etc.

Though I guess some of that could be incorporated into Penny's game.  Presumably she'd be invited to the wedding, and would likely be aware of what happens in their lives.  (likely need some way to specify which of the 4 endings occurred though.)

(+2)

I thought about showing what happens in the future with Byron and the girls but it would lock me into a specific future if I did that. With Penny's game being in the same universe, I didn't want to tie myself into anything. There are also a lot of people aggressively requesting an Avalon 2. I have no plans on making a sequel at this time but it's not something I could do if I locked myself into a specific future.

The Bonus Act also is going to be quite different than what most people expect. It will likely be out early next month. I'm sure glad you enjoyed your time reading Avalon. That means so much to me. I hope you're eager to try Penny's game when it's ready. It's going to be a vast improvement in all areas, I'm excited about it.

There is still one Act left; the Bonus Act. It will focus on Leah, Avalon, and Byron. Once I'm finished with the Bonus Act, I'll wrap up Avalon and begin working on Penny for Your Thoughts. I've been adamant about finishing Avalon before starting on Penny's game. I'm hoping to have Avalon completely finished between mid-January or early February. I'm glad you're enjoying my work and I'll keep doing my best to provide quality content. Thank you for your support.

Is mocha intentionally misspelled?

Yeah. Haha. Just a hip new thing, I guess. :-P

I just downloaded the version 7.6 on android and I can't load a previously saved file to continue.  Getting an error message. Only way to play is to completely start over

Adultgamer, I worked very hard to implement an Act Select on the Main Menu. It will start the story from whichever Act you choose. During development, I've made a lot of changes and updates as I learned new things. Since this is my first novel, it hasn't gone terribly smooth. I apologize about the corrupted saved but I hope to have it under control with my next game. Please try out the Act Select, it will give you all the options, such as Dallas or Octavia and Poly or Mono, before it starts the Act.

FEEDBACK !!! O.M.G. i just finished it with DALLAS !!!

can't wait to do it again with the woman in the gold dress,

i never seen some of it coming and no spoilers about it do hope it read's different with the mature woman in the gold dress, and its made it to the #1 spot of my top 10 list of over 175 V. N.'s  and as soon as i get a Pay-pal account i hope to be sending so money for a coffee to help make this story bigger and better

(+1)(-1)

Wow, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The woman in the gold dress is Octavia, and her story is very different. Though the path for Avalon and Byron is the same, the side scenes are completely different. I'm finishing up the Poly Routes and then I'm going to have a very special Bonus Act that I'm just sure you'll love. But it'll be a few months until I get that out. 

Thanks so much for your support and your kind words, mr_gatez! These kinds of comments keep me going!

I admire your take on the sensitive subject; I

 also enjoyed unique the dialogue. 

 You have amazing writers.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. We'll be concluding the story in the next update but there's going to be a bonus Act 8 in the works after. I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Android version say not available

Should be working now. I did a small update to fix a minor inconsistancy and I've updated Penny's first meeting with Byron. 

Thanks for letting me know!

Deleted post

Yes, that actually makes sense. Unfortunately, I release every update as, technically speaking, a new and separate game. I sure am sorry about that. As my experience grows and I get better at this whole thing, I hope to alleviate those sort of issues. 

I'm immensely glad that you've enjoyed Avalon so far! I hope to have the next release complete sometime early to mid next month. Thank you for reading!
