~Author's note~
Hello everyone and welcome to my first major visual novel project. Pheonix's Tear is the first game I'm going to make from start to finish. I'll be telling this story and hopefully many others in the future. I'm not sure what to say here lol. Basically, thanks for visiting this page and for playing the game. I'm open to any and all criticism, feel free to use the comments field.
I also want to give a special thanks to my friend and main artist on this project, Glitchzinho. Without you this wouldn't be possible as it is now.
~Next steps~
This is a work in progress and everything can be changed over time. This is a project in which I have invested many hours of my busy time and which I cherish very much, so I want to and will complete it.
To this end, we have an open Patreon so that the community can help the project financially. By contributing you get rewards such as early access to up to two builds ahead of the public, more frequent updates than the public, mentions in the thank you sections (more detailed according to the subscription tier), closer and prioritized contact channels with the devs, the possibility of suggestions and appearances in the games, and much more. The funds raised will go towards improving the game, with more features, CGs, sprites and hot scenes.

I know it's a bit too soon to ask but can we get a progress view or something like that? Only if you can! Would really appreciate. (And to make sure you are ok) :D
Hi, thanks for the comment and kind words. I would love to give you a more positive response or update TwT. What I can say is that I could be better, and that the project will go through a phase that makes my stomach turn. I'm finalizing a few things, and an update will be out soon(ish). (╥﹏╥)
Oh, well dont push yourself too hard and remember to take a break. Im happy to hear the update is soon(ish) done! :D
(ಥ‿ಥ)ﾉ♡
Idk why I became a supreme supporter I haven't even played the game yet-either way the characters are cute!!! >:3c
Hey! Thank you very much for your overwhelming support! Thanks to you the project will continue to be alive and getting better and better! ♪ \(^ω^\ )
To compare now from the old version this seems better and lighter because girl i still have the old version😭
I really like it! The art style is really cool and the story is awsome! I hope you keep up the good work ;)
Hey there! Thank you very much for the feedback and your kindness. I'm really glad you liked the art and the story, people like you give me the courage to keep going. And I plan to continue production on this game and others as well. It may take a long time, but I want to finish it ୧(＾ 〰 ＾)୨
Happy to support! But are there any news about when the next update will drop here? : >
Sorry to say, but it's going to take a while. Build 0.2 won't be available to the public until I release build 0.4 to the ultimate Patreon tier.
Basically, the mid-tier of Patreon is one build ahead of the public, and the supreme tier is two builds ahead .
But rest assured that whenever a new build is released on any of the platforms, I will let you know :3
Okay! And thanks for telling me! Hope to see good news in the future :3
Of course ^W^
Damn it came back. So much about the VN change even the art style kinda weird...🤙
I'm confused about your comment and what message you intended to convey but okay...乁( •_• )ㄏ
from what i know it didn't really get any updates i thought it was a dead（∵）
From the moment I published the first remake build, I started to only post frequent updates on Patreon =w=
Simplesmente incrivel, uma narrativa chamativa e personagens carismaticos, eu simplismente ameii jogar, olhando agora vejo que preciso dar uma trabalhada, tem tanta cena legal que daria pra adicionar! KKAKAKAK <
Olá meu rei! Que prazer te ver por aqui!
Muito obrigado por jogar e pelo feedback! Quanto às cenas que poderiam ser adicionadas, eu sou todo ouvidos. Adoraria poder incrementar mais o jogo com seus dotes artísticos (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Hello I already wanted to thank you for creating this masterpiece especially since there are several languages and I don't understand most of them apart from French thank you and I also wanted to put a comment especially at the VN level how can I say it, it's incredible already the characters the environment the scenes the dialogues everything even if there are still small translation errors but I find that the story makes us want to see a sequel I'm honestly impressed I I can't wait to see a sequel
I had a quick question about the main character, what important role he would play because in terms of power, he's a normal person. I'm a little confused, you could say.
Hey there! Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words!
I'm really happy that I was able to impress you. It's my first project so I still have a lot to improve but your words really encourage me. As for the translation errors, unfortunately I don't have much I can do... I only have command of English and PTBR, and I can't send someone to do revisions, but I'll do my best to improve.
Regarding your question about the protagonist, I confess that I didn't plan a world-changing role for him. I planned to use him just to introduce this world, the other characters and this big story I want to tell. But I'm definitely going to develop the character more.
Once again, thank you so much for the feedback, you made my day brighter! (◠‿・)—☆
Well listen, I'm happy to have brightened your day ^^
It doesn't matter, I guess the main character would be the wolf?
That's right, but with the whole issue of him having amnesia, I couldn't make him the center in a way that made me happy... 乁| T 〰 T |ㄏ
I see I see
It's the first time I've seen a vn with so many different languages!!LOVE IT
Hello, thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad you like this feature. I've had my periods of not knowing English and really wanting to read a vn so I thought it would be good to put this in place for those who need it (´・ω・)っ由
Yellow Chocobo! I'm so happy you're back!
Even better with a new partner! Yet still the same adorable Ford! So exciting!!
The rhythm of the story did feel more comfortable and easy to comprehend, though it's a pity seeing the reviving part was less detailed, maybe it's for the story balance I guess?
You guys did a great work, hope this time you could tell us more about this intriguing story and really enjoy the creating process
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that you found the rhythm of the story more comfortable and easy to follow.
We appreciate your feedback about the reviving part. The plan is to give more details later in the story, even more than in the previous version ;-)
I'm passionate about this story and can’t wait to share more with you. Stay tuned for more intriguing twists and turns, and thank you for your continued support (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
You give credit for the imagery and sound, but was any of the text generated with or modified by AI other than for translation?
Hey, thanks for the feedback. And no, all of the visual novel writing came straight from an abyss I call my mind ( ╹▽╹ )
Another artist coming out of the shadows it's really nice to have other artists with their own style in any case I can't wait to see what happens next there was just one question do you work alone?
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I'm the one writing and programming and generating the backgrounds. The other assets, such as music and some sound effects, are from sites like Uppbeat and Pixabay. And the sprites and CGs are created by my friend and very talented artist Glitch ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Talented yes I confirm and agree I see in all cases you are a perfect duo👌
Thanks a lot dear (｡◕‿‿◕｡)
I really liked this VN, honestly a really nice, cool story and a lot of mystery I'm still going to add something the version where the French language had some small translation problems there were sometimes English or Ukrainian or even Spanish languages that appeared but there was nothing disturbing honestly I can't wait to see what happens next :)
Oh, I'll take a look at the problem. Thank you very much for the feedback and your kind words (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I like how much fun is had with the text and sprites
thank you so much (◕ᴗ◕✿)
