Thank you!

THAT’S THE END OF CHAPTER THREE??? HOW COULD YOU. Just when I thought I knew who I was going to lock-in out of everyone (look, I have a type. I have two types unfortunately and the Chapter 3 ending triggered MY SECOND TYPE, damn you).

But seriously, I loved Viatica, but Cantata is shaping up to be my favorite of yours. I am so excited to read more.

(+1)

*insert maniacal laughter

Thank you! Viatica will always have a place in my heart, and without it, I couldn’t have written Cantata. But I agree with you that Cantata is becoming my favorite, too! 💕

THE NEWEST CHAPTER IS SO INCREDIBLE!! AHHH I CANNOT WAIT FOR CHAPTER FOUR, I NEED TO SEE BAYRAM ASAP HEHE

And I've been reading through cpmments and I just wanna say if you make Cantata a monetised game I am SOO willing to pay for it, this IF is truly one of the best I've ever read, it's honestly already topped Viatica! This IF has made me cry almost every chapter now and I think that speaks for how amazing this story is so far.

Also SO inlove with how Corinne checks we’re looking before she speaks it makes my heart backflip i swear.

SPOILER!!

Read with caution hehe.










OMG TELLUS?? im so glad you made him a romance option i couldnt NOT romance him hehe, and I just KNOW next chapter will be a little heart wrenching at the start, soo excited wowowow.

YOU ARE TRULY MAGNIFICENT FIR!!

(+3)

Hi Soli, and thank you! 💕 I appreciate you saying you’d be willing to pay. This IF is definitely a lot more work. I really need to utilize my Kofi account because I think that’s probably the best way to go.

I’m glad you picked up on Corinne’s actions and nuances. 😊

And yes… prepare to have your heart wrenched. It won’t be an easy route, but it’ll be worth it!

(+2)

Sorry to like hijack this thread but is Tellus now a full fledged RO? Cause I'm gonna cry if he is (also yes I believe this game should eventually be monetized and I'd be happy to pay that)

(+1)

im preetty sure he’s to be a fully fledged RO! :)

I have PLANS. And art. 😉 Just waiting a few days for readers to catch up and I’ll answer that question. 😁

(+1)

If this game is somehow going to be a monetize game will you make it on Steam? Since it would be easier for me to purchase the game from Steam than from itch.io.  And also I really enjoy this IF and I hope you can make Tellus a RO. I would like to see a bittersweet childhood love story 😭😭😭

If I do monetize this game then yes, I’d probably port it to Steam. I was thinking of doing similar to what the author of Arcadie did, with a sizable chunk here, and the final version over there.

(+1)

Oh gosh, I ran here when I remembered that chapter 3 was coming out today. Honestly the wait was entirely worth it. The sound that came out of my mouth at the end of the chapter wasn't even human, I'm pretty sure
Holy shit!

(+1)

Lol, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😁

(2 edits) (+8)

It was cool of you to make special dialogue when I named my ferret Tellus. And that makes me extra excited for chapter 4! All the little details you added are really great!

(+1)

I’m glad you’re enjoying the details, thank you! It makes all the work worth it. 😊

(1 edit) (+1)

This story is so perfect I NEED more

(+4)

Your regular updates are always amazing! 💜I like how this chapter really focuses on the small details of choices we've made in the past.

And of course, it's great to interact with the ROs more. Corinne is so wonderful and thoughtful, always making sure we're looking before talking, almost makes me want to kick my feet! 🥰

Take some good rest, Fir! You earned it. 👍

(+1)

Thank you, Power! You’re the first to comment on Corinne doing that, I’m glad. 😁 I think it really illuminates her character that she does that.

Thank you for always being so supportive of me and this story! ❤️

(1 edit) (+4)

--spoiler chapter 3:

(+4)

I need to know this too. 🥺 God I love this story, amazing work!

And yes. 😉

(+4)

I really want that too, it's destiny!

(+3)

(+2)

Thanks! It may not always be; I’ve toyed with the idea of putting it behind a paywall when finished. But for now it is. 😊

(+1)

Thank you Glitz!! I loved reading this! ❤️

(+2)

Spoilers

-----------------

Jw, but why does the MC have to be deaf as well as mute to survive? Wouldn't they  only need to be mute to pass?

(+4)

I should add this question to an FAQ, it’s so popular. 😅

The Iredicci are still being actively hunted. A person who “conveniently” can’t speak but can still hear would raise suspicions. It would be viewed as an obvious hiding tactic. Especially a person who can hear extremely well. Turning at every little sound, especially one from far away, yet you can’t speak? Hmm, seems sus. Pretending to be deaf adds that extra layer of protection.

(+5)

Oh my god the reveal at the end! I'm losing it aaaahhhhh please just one night with him 😭😭😭😭😭

🤭

SO TRUE

(+1)

OH EM GEE I was waiting for this!! I can't wait to read it.

Yay! I can’t wait for you to read it, too!

(+1)

I'm so excited 😭 Woke up to the update and I have the day off. Thank you for your amazing work! Your writing is just amazing. I love Viatica and I have been loving Cantata

You’re welcome, and thank you for this comment! I’m glad you have the day off. I should have asked for it off, lol. As it is, I don’t see myself getting much “work” done. 😅

(+1)

YESS THE UPDATE IS OUT!! 🎉

(+1)

🥳

(+2)

The way I waited for the new update like a kid on Christmas morning! Really, this story is beautiful so far, even with the heartbreak and the MC really being put through it. I'm excited to see how the characters have grown up. Thank you so so so much!

You are so very welcome! Thank you for the excitement, it’s so encouraging to see! ❤️

(+6)

Update soon I cackle like a maniacal little creature of the night

UPDATE HERE!

(+2)(-1)

Hello! I LOVE your work and would like to thank you for it. I recently finished Viatica and I'm telling you, I BAWLED MY EYES OUT😭 This game is just as beautiful as Viatica, and I can't wait to see more of it! There's just one question that I'm very ashamed and reluctant to ask, forgive me and ignore this is you want, but will the finished game be free or paid? Again, I'm VERY SORRY for asking this, you definitely deserve everything for doing such a great job! I'm just asking as I am not financially able to pay for anything online, especially with the economy and currency problems of my country, and I had to drop many beautiful games I like for this reason. I'm not trying to dramatize or seem like a desperate person,  I apologize again if it's inappropriate for me to ask. Take care of yourself and have a great day! 💜

(+5)

Hello! It’s a completely valid question, no worries; however, I honestly don’t know. I do want to monetize my writing in some way, but that may just be through my Ko-Fi account. I’ve thought about offering side stories and early access for those who support me through there. I’ve also considered putting Cantata behind a pay wall once it’s finished. I’m leaning towards the Ko-Fi option but I can’t say for certain at this point.

Viatica will always be free, I will never monetize that story! But Cantata and future IFs… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m sorry for the ambiguity. I understand your situation, and I appreciate your honesty!

(+2)

Thank you for answering! Honestly, you have every right to monetize your work, be it through Ko-Fi or directly paid. I hope you figure out what works the best for you! And I want to say that you're really kind and understanding, thank you <3

(+1)

question, will Corinne remember mc from the first interaction?

(+3)

You’ll find out soon, my friend! 🤫

(+2)

AHH i’m so excited!!

is anyone else struggling to save their game? The export doesnt work.

(+2)

The export function appears to work fine on my end. Are you sure they’re not just getting caught up in the downloads on your device? That happens to me sometimes when playing on phone or iPad.

For me it downloads but it’s this weird 36 byte file, and when i upload the file to the game nothing happens, the progress doesn’t return.


also the music for this game is amazing, can you make it possible for us to download the music tracks? Thank you so much!  

That’s odd. I do have a fix in the new update that allows you to scroll to the bottom of that save screen, and there’s save and load functions down there; you might not see them presently if you’re playing on mobile. That may help.

I’m glad you like the music! The songs are all on pixabay. I mention the artists on the credits page but I’ll see if I can link them, too.

(+2)

This game is heartbreaking and beautiful, the writing is impeccable, and I'm incredibly glad to see that it will hopefully be updated soon !!

(+2)

Thank you! Yes, Chapter 3 will drop on June 6! 🥳

(+4)

I'm obsessed. More, please!

For real though, the concept is interesting and unique. The characters are complex and engaging. Keep up the good work!

(+3)

Thank you! More is coming soon! 👀 I anticipate dropping Chapter 3 early June.

(+2)

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to here that!! Yay!! I'm immediately making a reminder to check on this next month lol

Are the Iredicci based on the Romani and other oft-persecuted itinerant groups? The whole thing about oppressed nomadic musical people really seems similar to the Romani stereotype.

(1 edit) (+9)

Hello! The circumstances of the Iredicci are based on several different persecuted groups in history, most notably Native Americans but yes, Romani, too. Unfortunately, we have no shortage of such groups in history. :(

Culture wise, the Iredicci are a bit of a hodge podge of Italian, Romani, Hawaiian, and Persian.

(2 edits) (+2)

I specifically picked up on the Native American stuff, in addition to the Romani; I'm glad I wasn't wrong in noticing that. Feels nice to have that given how rare it is. Really don't see much based on Native Americans

(+2)

As someone who loves art, this game is everything to me, and writing like yours is what fuels me to write my own stories. I can't wait for future updates :] 

Also your other game Viatica was so interesting and it had me locked in completely that I ended up finishing the entire game earlier today! 

Okay back to your writing, it really does inspire me so much. I just want to replay your games because I adore analyzing any form of art because it's so beautiful and so human and it's basically my life, but there's only a few that really stand out to me, maybe a specific art style or melody, or your writing. I hope you never stop writing, because what you create is amazing. 

(+1)

Thank you, that's wonderful to hear! I feel honored and humbled that my work inspires you. Other IF authors inspired me to start writing my own, so I'm delighted I can pay it forward. :D

Thank you for reading both my works and for your kind words! It's made my day!

(+2)

Just wanted to say that I love your work, your writing is amazing, it's so creative and interesting, can't wait for the next chapters. You're doing a good job, keep going!

Also, you seem very kind :)

(+1)

Aww, thank you! For both the compliment to my works and to me! ❤️

I try to be kind, and honestly, it’s my kids’ influence. They’ve taught me to be more compassionate and less judgmental. It’s a constant learning process lol.

The next update will be coming in June; thanks for following along!

(+1)

♡ ♡

(+1)

I'm loving this game as much as i loved Viatica, I really love your writing, your characters and the worlds you build,  thank you so much  for your beautiful contributions to the iF content <3 

Thank YOU so much for this lovely comment! I’m glad you liked Viatica and that you’re giving this one a chance, too. ❤️

(+2)

i know I've already commented on here before but, I LOVE BOTH OF YOUR GAMES SO MUCH (AND THE APRIL FOOLS ONE) and they make me happy and keep the insanity at bay :3

(+3)

Aww, thank you for returning! Writing keeps me sane and happy, too, lol. You can comment as often as you want. Honestly, I can’t stress enough how encouraging and heart warming it is to read comments like this. I enjoy conversing with my readers, so please feel free to return at any time. ❤️

(+4)(-1)

Pretty intriguing start! I've gotta say I've never seen this concept before. It's fun.

Some minor things that I think would make the game even better are tweaks in the character sheet. It feels awkward to see my trans chara's birth sex listed as 'bodytype' (I say it's just an unnecessary line there, the pronouns are enough), plus I'd really love it if we could see MC's age listed there for each time period as the time jumps can get a little confusing.

Either way, I hope your passion for this project never wanes! I hope to see it finished one day :)

(1 edit) (+3)

Thank you for reading and for the suggestions. I mostly only track that variable for the sexy scenes or flavor text, but I can definitely keep that behind the scenes and off the character sheet. I don’t want your reading experience to be uncomfortable. ☺️

(+1)

Never. Never for the life of me did I ever think I would be playing through a fantasy game about music. And never did I think I would love it so much. I am most definitely not the first or last to say so, but please keep doing what you do best!

(+1)

Thank you so much! You may not be the first but you completely made my day! ❤️ Thank you for reading!

(+2)

THESE IF'S (idk if correct grammar atp) MAKE ME FEEL THINGSSSSSSS AAAHHHHH both Cantata and Viatica are such good games, im not even joking i have been replaying both for the past 6 hours because I'm procrastinating my work <3 ilysm keep up the good work, and i will always support what you do :3,

(+1)

Aww, thank you so much for your kind words and your support! It makes me happy to hear you’ve been replaying both. And sending love right back atcha! ❤️

yippie <3

Do you have discord group to follow? I'm interested to join if there is one

Aww, thank you, but I do not. I’ve thought about it, but I honestly don’t have the time to manage one. 🥴

(+1)

Aw 🥲 The amount of fanarts i'll spam for both Viatica and Cantata would be obnoxious. But it's okay

(1 edit)

Lol, that's almost reason enough to do it! I am on tumblr, if you're open to sharing there. I'd love to see it!

(+1)
