Hearthfire 1.0 Update


Here it is! The final update! After everything Chris has been through, he finally heads home.

I wanted to thank everyone who gave this VN a chance, whether you were with us from the start or only just heard about Hearthfire! Without your support (and especially Patrons!) this story wouldn't have been possible.

I really hope you guys enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. It's my first original story, so I was always nervous about presenting it to the public. Though, the positive reception has certainly dashed those fears away!

Again, thank you so much for your support, from everyone on the Hearthfire team.

As for what's on the horizon? 

You can look forward to another Hearthfire Tales short story on our Patreon soon! Also, we're going to have a summer special VN in the coming months! This takes place weeks after the events of the final chapter; this way, people who wanted more time with Chris and Ton together get a little extra treat.

Fnishing a project is rare and this turned out fantastic 👌

I loved this novel so much! Beautifully drawn characters and the story line was good! Though to be honest, some part of me kind of wanted to get back together with Darryl and become healthy with him.. 

Beautiful :')

Thank you very much for this :'3

A bit disappointed with the end... 

It felt like a swift run comparing to the rest of the story, which is awesome. The rest was so emotional and the end tasted a little bland....

I'm happy that they ended together, but I was really expecting more after having been brought to tears in the previous update.

Sorry but I'm just being as honest as possible.

I'm sorry to hear that the ending didn't hold up to the rest of the story for you.

Out of curiosity, what was the "more" you were expecting? Was there a different narrative or sequence of events you wanted to see?

I can't explain properly what I would like to see. It just felt it lacked feelings, emotions, and we got to see a closure for Chris and Tonraq and for Lilly and Hallie but the destiny of all others was a bit lost. The relation of Tonraq with Kuak, Yuka and Philip, I feel it lacked a more detailed story to tell about all characters, after all they all took part in Chris's journey. 

But nonethelesss, it was a great novel that trapped me from beginning to end. Thank you for creating such a beautiful story.

Hm, yeah! I can see where you're coming from. The final chapter was a slow-coast epilogue where we focused on Chris tying up the ends of his issues at home. There wasn't a lot of room to elaborate beyond his life, partly due to the restraints of the first-person narrative.

However! You'll be happy to know we're working on a Summer episode VN! Hopefully, the extra story should help soothe that "rushed" feeling.

I'll be eagerly waiting for it!!! 🥰

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
