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.
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!
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)
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.
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.
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
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!

"|| 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.
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.
No Worry
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)
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!

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.

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