Hey everyone~!

After a long, uphill battle, I’m thrilled to announce that Chapter 14 is now complete! It’s in its final form, just missing two CGs near the end. This chapter has been the most complex I’ve ever created, with a whopping 12,000 lines of code – easily double, if not triple, the length of a usual chapter. But I truly believe the effort has paid off with this build's stunning angles and scene transitions!

As a special treat, I’ve also included revamped Chapters 1 through 4 and Alpha versions of Chapters 15 through 17 for you to explore. This is my way of saying thank you for your unwavering support during this tough time. Additionally, a timer is now set for the public release, which will be happening in two weeks.

I hope you all enjoy what’s in store!

Best regards,~KaelP.S. To access Chapter 14 Beta, use the Chapter Select tool to navigate to the Newest Update.

Just glad your doing well enough to give an update, but this is beyond what had been hoped for, thank u

ChickenTooTasty

Glad you're back in a place to release updates. I'm excited to dive into this chapter! 😸

I Dare Korval

Wow, this is great, Thanks!! Out of curiosity, will this allow full access to all the prior chapters as well? I know you upgraded the VN software used and this caused some backward compatibility issue so I've kept the old versions to access chapters 1-13.

Kael Tiger

Chapters 1-4 are integrated. I hope to have Chapters 5-8 implemented as well by the Public Release at the end of the month.

Today you made my day Kael. After several months without news, I was really worried and feared that this beautiful novel would be put on hold indefinitely due to the difficult situation you have gone through. Thank you very much for continuing with FBTW and a big hug from Spain.

Kael Tiger

It's the only thing keeping my sanity together; I will never abandon it!

mooddy

ABC

Hi Kael! Excited to try out the latest build. Unfortunately am running into a problem on the Mac version. I haven't had this issue with other builds, but I'm getting the following message: I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. Before loading the script.

Kael Tiger

I'll have to investigate this, as I've never seen it before. Also, I don't poses a Mac, so it might take a few days before I can check this over with my friends.

Ghost Hybrid

No rush Kael. Thank you for all the love you put into your characters, art and storytelling.

David Sisler

I wanted to ask, will have an actual drawn sex scene, or will it be just described as in the beta?

Ghost Hybrid

I was able to get it working. The problem may have had something to do with running it from my external hard drive. I unzipped it on my desktop and it works fine. Hope this helps anyone else who may run into the issue!

Kael Tiger

Thanks for letting me know. I hope that once the old VN is merged with the new one, and all faulty lines of code are removed, there will be less such unexpected exceptions. :)

Allen

Thank you so much for your hard work and the amazing update! Your dedication is truly appreciated!

Vinnie

Hi kael, i am currently having an issue with downloading the file. MEGA says that the file isnt avaliable.

sheepy

Ooo ! I just joined and I'm glad you're still active I was scared that you were inactive on Twitter because you abandoned the project ! I was banned from the discord because I got hacked and now I wanna join again ! Could someone give me a link to far beyond the world discord ? :0

Skye

Is there a download I can use to access chapters 5-8? I got a new phone so I don't have the other versions installed anymore...

Charlie The Love Witch

This is my favorite VN, thank you for making such a wonderful story. It got me through my mom's death, and a lot of other horrible things. I'm so happy you're still working hard on it. The twists and turns have been excellent! <3

Debloos09

I been enjoying the story start to finish you have my unwavering supporting. I I'm embarrassed to admit this this probably was my very first visual novel ever I got so into the story I just have to knew more, slowly led me here just so know know I love however you take the story. Because at the end of the day it's your story but it very thrilling for me ironically. I guess in short this is my support message saying keep up the great work! 😄

Kael Tiger

What is exactly the issue, as all the files seem to be up and running?

Kael Tiger

The ban is lifted! Enjoy the server!

Kael Tiger

I'm very glad you're enjoying the story! Thank you for the loverly message!

Vinnie

Oh yea sorry forgot to delete this, it seemed to fix itself. Must’ve just been a mega server error or sum.

Kael Tiger

I'm sorry for your loss, but I am glad that something I made helped you get through it. I've experienced loss myself, and working on this project was an escape from reality.

Worraps

Congratulations on the latest update. It flows beautifully, and the improvements on the previous releases are remarkable. The quality of the illustrations is excellent. A very minor bug is that if you accept the default name for MC, this comes up as an alternative and a primary name during the Strandbard period. "Dont call meCaelan, call me Caelan."

Charlie The Love Witch

I find that subterfuge can help processing a lot. I got back into reading, and visual novels were the thing I hyperfixated on. Still hoping to one day get my hands on a Ranok plush heh I was a month too late to get one. I'll keep reading if you keep writing! Thank you <3

Kael Tiger

I'm aware of that, it's going to be fixed within next few weeks.

S0rin

I dont have words for this... i feel so engage in this story, crying, yelling, laughing. A tornado of émotions. You really are a genious at it.

RayParker

Finally started the novel a week or two ago and finally caught up. Such an amazing read and I can't wait to read more. It's great to see it's still being worked on!

Xhris White

I'm have trouble installing it in patreon can help me how to install it

Blue

Syon Arakis

I have the same problem on Pc.

I tried to download the APK file with Mega, but I couldn't install it because Mega said "Mega doesn't have permission to install", why?😭

dannyt7568

hey kael_tiger we haven´t heard from you in a while, everything ok?

Kamycze

(on phones). U have to allow it in the settings if u have an APK but if it dowlanding from smt like chrome u need allow it to Dowland files ,in settings . Or in chrome settings mark mega as safe dowlanding site.

dannyt7568

i have stopped supporting kael_tiger now, i know that it takes time to make this but over half a year not one message, feels like wasted money.

mints

Hi! Recently I bought the subscription to get this novel from ch 1 to 17. And here's the problem . The visuals at the end of chapter 4 are broken; stuck on a picture with Ranok in the background of his house till the end. Besides, chapters from 5 to 8 are completely absent. 🙁 What do I do??

Vinnie

id suggest downloading and playing the earlier releases to play the first few chapters. As newer releases has happened some of the parts from older chapters have gotten bugged. But yeah, go back and download the earlier releases for less bugs. hope this helps!

David Sisler

Are you coming back Kael? Is everything okay? I hope all is well, you've gone dark and I want to make sure you are okay.
