Xou've done an excellent job with pacing the romance :) it feels very natural, which is no easy task, especially when xou consider the circumstances that drive the story UwU
I can tell that writing romance is what drives xou as a writer, as xour skills really shine in these scenes~ ^^_
Aw, thanks! Making sure that pacing is on point has been a priority with me.
Romance is certainly a driving factor with this story. I wanted a large portion of it to revolve around opening Tonraq up and exploring the blooming relationship between him and Chris~
Then xou've set everything up really well for that :) it's always fun to be caught in a compromising situation and to find love in the most unexpected of places, even better when it's with a tsundere like Tonraq :p
Finished reading through the last update, and my horny ass was pretty satisfied. Great job so far! Can't wait for the next one, where maaybe the unexpected new character is explored more? 👀
Dammmm I am enjoying this, the only thing I didn't like was the "to be continued" at the end, I am really glad I found this vn, I wish there was a way to find gems like this easier eheh
There is size difference between the two due to the nature of their species and body types. You can see it for yourself in the comparison image between sprites here.
First time playing it and wow, the story is very interesting and I really like it! Looking forward for future updates. Also.. Please add more Tonqar content pleaseand more cute scenes. I am very excited to playing the next update.
Never thought I’d see a VN that’s based on the territory I live in but hey that just makes it more interesting. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out lol :>
Sure, go ahead and translate it if you want! I never really thought of translating it to other languages due to all of us being native English speakers.
is it just me, or is this game just trying to rip off Heat Source, by Ari Gaurdian*? young otter with troubled home life goes on a poorly planned trip to escape, ends up lost and dying to the elements but is then rescued by hunky bear and has to learn to open up to others?
Funny you mention that! I didn't find out about Heat Source until after I managed to upload the first build. Came up with the basic concept of Hearthfire after reading Adastra, oddly enough!
Ari and I already had a private chuckle about how similar our VNs are, so it's all cool.
Hey Kesric, buddy chill out😅Yes, we might have same bases but it's just the first build and there's lots of differences... Rolibar and me already talked, we both are cool about it, even sharing some interests in common. In fact I was gonna name my otter "Chris" too 🤯😅🥰🤭 and I also was inspired after reading Adastra. We both like the otter-bear combo and it's cool, none of us invented that 😅 so please keep it cool with my big bro Rolibar 💖
it's chill lol, I just checked it out and was shocked. Loved your work, waiting for the next update lol, just speaking my mind in the comments, sorry everyone if I came across as aggressive
Up to you if you want to whiten his fur to an off white level, but I do feel like just having red eyes seems unique enough, they contrast with his personality, really catching your attention!
I came into this game with admittedly low expectations, but I now regret judging it so soon because I've started to be charmed and captivated by this VN's writing and character style. Definitely looking forward to the future updates.
Haha, thank you for the compliment! Tonraq kinda breaks out of the mold as a love interest/protagonist with his aloof attitude. It'll be fun to see his emotional walls come down later~

Keep up all the great work! ^^_
I'm a little late responding to this, but thanks so much for your support!
Balancing pacing and different elements of the story has always been important to us~
I love this VN! Keep up the good work!
love your work, but the linux update is,nt here yet.
Whoops, my bad! It should be labeled properly now.
Thank you.
So weird to read when your real name is Chris, but definitely one of the best VNs out there right now.
That's very flattering! I'm glad you're enjoying the story so much~
Finished reading through the last update, and my horny ass was pretty satisfied. Great job so far! Can't wait for the next one, where maaybe the unexpected new character is explored more? 👀
WHEN WILL THE UPDATE?
THIS IS SO FRICKING AMAZING I REALLY WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT THEM
(Please don't be angry at me)
YESSSSSSSSSS
Right now, actually!
Thanks author to not hang up us, the readers, like the previous build 😅

I want to cuddle with Tonraq too...
Don't worry! We get to see some bear-snuggling soon~
Greetings Author,
We have some questions want to ask you, is about the story, hope you can tell us.
1. How many chapters you expect to write?
2. What is the current progress of the game?
3. Is Chris and Tonraq will be more close?
If you want to DM . I was send private message to you in twitter. You can use that. Waiting for you response.
eu amei essa 🐻❄️❤️🦦
Cute,
Ah, that's still a favorite of mine~
Oh dear. I don't think the world can handle two of them.
Thanks for pointing this out! We're already working on a fix~
This happens when I start a new game.
Oops! We're working on getting this fixed!
Edit: The latest update is out now; it should work~
Aw, I'm glad you're enjoying the story so much! The relationship between Tonraq and Chris is a fun one since it's more of a slow burn~
Dammmm I am enjoying this, the only thing I didn't like was the "to be continued" at the end, I am really glad I found this vn, I wish there was a way to find gems like this easier eheh
Haha, don't worry, the next update will be out at the start of next month.
And, yeah, we're a smaller project so it's harder to get noticed. It just makes comments like these more special~
Sorry for bother you, Author.
We noticed in apk version, seems like Chris's avator can't show in lower left corner. So we try to fix it, and why this happened.
We found that because new phone's screen is too long, making Ren'Py take it as a small device.
So it might be helpful to use an variable "renpy.variant("small")" to re-set up.
Here is the variable need to change in screen.rpy
Add the code below:
if renpy.variant("small"):
add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
In "style window" (In row 1451) add :
left_padding 130
Here is the picture add above code result
Test Phone: Google Pixel 6
Thank you for the reply! I forwarded the information to my programmer to see what we can do~
If you want let the text move to right, just change "left_padding".
If you want, we also can provide screens.rpy and apk for you.
Oh dear. That's not good descriptors for things other people might enjoy.
Regardless, you don't need to worry! This VN mostly narrative focused--so, kinks/sex are on the side.
Thanks for the compliment, though! We're a small project, so there's not a lot of traction when it comes to publicity, haha.
There is size difference between the two due to the nature of their species and body types. You can see it for yourself in the comparison image between sprites here.
Welp, it's out now! Look forward for the next public update with more CGs~
Oh? Do what?~
Wow, another update!
... And, my mind goes blank when I saw "to be continued...." sentence
Gotta leave things on a cliff hanger~
First time playing it and wow, the story is very interesting and I really like it! Looking forward for future updates. Also..
Please add more Tonqarcontent pleaseThank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the setting and narrative so far.
And, don't worry! We're going to see plenty more bear and CGs in the future~
Yay new update
Huzzah! Look forward to more!
Thanks for the update, keep up the good work
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it~
Keep up the good work! Very nice game so far
Thanks for the comment! Glad you're enjoying it!
is it just me, or does the static from Philip's phone when he shows Chris that the phone lines aren't working sound familiar?
It's not just you~
Can I get a hint as to where the sound originates from, then?
The curiosity is killing meeeeeeeeeee TcT
Aww, I'm glad you like it so much! It means a lot to us~
Love the game so far! I can't wait for more and for as the story develops and getting to the lovely romance part! Keep up the good work :)
It's a bit of a slower burn as we get Tonraq to open up, but I promise it'll be worth it!
Never thought I’d see a VN that’s based on the territory I live in but hey that just makes it more interesting. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out lol :>
Hooo boy! I can only hope I do it justice!
I like to think I've done my research on the area at least, so I'll try to be as authentic as I can~
Excuse me, sir. Can we translate this game into Chinese? We think this game so good, so we want to get the authorization to translate this game.
If I have something wrong.Please forgive me.
Sure, go ahead and translate it if you want! I never really thought of translating it to other languages due to all of us being native English speakers.
I am enjoying the VN so far! I love Tonraq's design and the premise!
Hey, thanks! I'm really glad you're enjoying it so far! You'll get to see more in the upcoming months as the updates roll out~
Nice VN, enjoyed what I have read so far, looking forward to the updates.
Hey, thanks! We're busily getting CGs and new chapters cooked up~
NOOOOOO!! How could it end like that!? I need to know more 😭
This was amazing, and im really looking foward to future updates! Hope this vn goes well
We've got the next chapter up on Patreon!~
But, don't worry! Updates every month~
is it just me, or is this game just trying to rip off Heat Source, by Ari Gaurdian*? young otter with troubled home life goes on a poorly planned trip to escape, ends up lost and dying to the elements but is then rescued by hunky bear and has to learn to open up to others?
Funny you mention that! I didn't find out about Heat Source until after I managed to upload the first build. Came up with the basic concept of Hearthfire after reading Adastra, oddly enough!
Ari and I already had a private chuckle about how similar our VNs are, so it's all cool.
Only the start of each is similar, once at the Clinic it deviates enough to set them apart. Quick, simple, ... painless??? Poor otter
Yeah, hah! I read the opening for Heat Source and I was pretty surprised with the very similar beginnings.
But, I chalk it up to quirky circumstance. Hopefully the story I tell will be more divergent, even if similarly themed.
That being said, everyone else should totally check out Heat Source as well~
Um.. it's Ari Guardian, not Vizer🤭
Hey Kesric, buddy chill out😅Yes, we might have same bases but it's just the first build and there's lots of differences...

Vizer they say, interesting 🤔
I don't get it, does an Albino Snow Leopard look exactly like a non Albino one? Typically an Albino is ALL white ish?
Oooff!I He is hot with that shirt off! And then Double oofff! O//..//O
Actually, I don't think albino snow leopards are actually a thing! I tried looking up about 'em, but couldn't really find much of a template.
And, yes, we're gonna see shirtless men as time goes on~
Up to you if you want to whiten his fur to an off white level, but I do feel like just having red eyes seems unique enough, they contrast with his personality, really catching your attention!
I've been thinking about getting him lightened up when we go through and update the sprites at a later date!
And, yeah! He's got a pretty strong gaze going on. A lil intense for how nice he is, but that's part of the charm, I think~
yessshhhh. Polar bear.
Everybody loves a good bear!
YES YES YES! POLAR BEAR HUSBAND OWÓ
Not a lot of those in VNs!
bring those bear hugs 🤗 😋🥰💪✨
I came into this game with admittedly low expectations, but I now regret judging it so soon because I've started to be charmed and captivated by this VN's writing and character style. Definitely looking forward to the future updates.
Aw, I'm glad you enjoyed it so far! It's just a small three-man project, so it's not as advanced or flashy as other VNs out there.
Regardless, we're doing our best, and we're really excited with the warm reception Hearthfire has gotten so far~
Oh my~ "n///n hot daddy tsundere bear? Consider me thoroughly enamoured~ ^^_
Great start! :) Fun premise, nice writing and aesthetic, and Tonraq is all any1ne could ask for in a mountainbeastman! ;p
Haha, thank you for the compliment! Tonraq kinda breaks out of the mold as a love interest/protagonist with his aloof attitude. It'll be fun to see his emotional walls come down later~
