What is it that draws you to Extracurricular Activities?  Why do you like it so much?

You don't have to leave me a novel telling me why (unless you have no other way! x3), but I was thinking... what's the biggest draw that keeps you coming back?

Do you relate to the guys?  You like the slice-of-life stories?  Do you just want the sex?  Let me know, whatever it is!


Gracious, folks, I wasn't expecting such a response!  I'm reading every comment, but there's no way I can reply to all of you.  There's just so much!  I love it, so thank you all for leaving this feedback for me.

For me personally it’s a combination of the slice of life story structure and the character design (both personality wise and artistically)

Anonymous

Well im a male highschool senior and I’m just exploring the realm of lgbt because I think I’m straight just bi-curious and this novel also show the relationship part and not just the sex which is cool to see

Anonymous

The slice of life aspect and the fact that you make the boys so relatable. I connect with Harold on a deep level, for reasons i dont want to state out in the open.

Bearly

It's kinda a mix of everything you mentioned, we can relate to the guys causing us to get attached to the characters so much because of their slices of life. The characters also have all their little kinks in their personality that just makes them so likeable, they all show a bit of their weaknesses and shows their vulnerability to the player. Also yeah we love sex ;)

I fell in love with who they are and what can become

I really like your game mechanics like one of my favs is when you click around the room. I also like the jock/school genre, and the story.

PlasmaSnake90

It's relatable for me. Our character always has trouble admitting his feelings towards the others and that's how I always was. The plots are amazing and the sex is nice but I don't play just for that.

AXEL

i love its art style and i especially love the stories on all of the characters and how they developed feelings towards the reader...plus the sex scenes are a big bonus to it 😁😁

inukai44

gonna be honest at first I came for the sex but then I saw how the storyline with spencer was going so then I liked the slice of life.

Anonymous

Initially, pure beefcake fanservice. What kept me and got me to become a patreon was the writing. These guys are more than just surface quirks. Havent had the time to do a full playthrough in months though.

I love the day to day, what keeps me playing is the writing that really brings these characters to life. The art is stunning and the MC is so well done because you really get to enjoy the story as yourself. I love it. The sex is actually really nice to, and I would love to see more little fooling around (like the dozer towel thing and coach in the shower) but honestly it's just sweet and delightful with the right amount of drama.

Danny McClain

I just love the characters and story line (yes the sex is great but I'm glad that isn't what is the main aspect of it all). Every character has their faults and that just makes them more interesting and you ride along with them on this journey to be there for them and just live life. Coach threw me for a loop learning his issue and it made me like ten times more for his vulnerability, Darius is another that just is intriguing... he's a mystery and I wanna solve that fucking mystery.

I came to know about the game recently and I did become a supporter just recently, so I'd be happy to explain why. I'll get the worst out of the way, I'm not a huge fan of the art style. It is a bit overblown in my opinion, making basically just Spencer and perhaps Darius the only ones I liked at first. HOWEVER, the story is very well written for all characters so far, and I did fall in love with all of them despite how I didn't initially like how most of the cast looked. They all have expectations, problems, and things to provide the main character as a person. The slice of life is great too, so I guess that's the main aspect that draws me to the game. The sex is a nice added bonus, but without the backstory you put into each character I don't think I'd care as much. Keep the good work going, you're doing a very good job ;)

Off-White Lynx

I picked up a VN or two and I really enjoyed them. Went and found yours eventually and I just started getting really interested in the stories of each particular individual. Been pledging for a good while now and I've been really surprised in how my preferences changed. I especially love the build up of a relation with a character. It really makes the naughty parts that tad more intense afterwards.

Goodmoon

It's the writing I think. It makes me feel so many emotions for the characters and draws me back for each update. Whether it makes me love or dislike something they do I absolutely love what you've done with it.

Gutsyrabbit

Believe it or not, i relate to almost every single character in the game, they remind me of former or present boyfriends, for example Coach is 90% like my first love :) . And the sex and muscle-chub jockstrap goodness is a must have bonus in the game .. at least for me. And let's not forget the slice of life stuff.. you really know how to make it not be boring, even after a few reruns.

Kookeh

The writing is definitely a big factor.

Kernog

I do relate to some of the characters, but the most drawing point for me is how the character interactions, while still obeying the laws of VN, feel more natural than other games of the same type. Also, the way the game approaches the adult stuff; one who understands that anal sex is not the alpha and the omega of a gay relationship.

Anonymous

I just absolutely love visual novels especially representing the lgbtq+ life without the fetishisation (spelling?) the sex is a nice bonus but the development of the relationships between the characters just make me feel warm inside. We basically don't have any lgbt visual novels in the west and this one is just so good so far that it keeps me coming back every time. And also I think this is the first VN I have ever played which I like every single dateable character in it ! Which is somehow a miracle or just great writing. Cheers, love ya.

Enzo

Often many of the characters routes are extremely relatable. If the situation hasn't occurred yet, I often find myself running into something similar that happens with a character. They're each captivating within their own personalities and types of people possible to meet in real life. They have their own traits, positives, and negatives. Everything that occurs throughout the novel has invoked some type of emotion that not many others can bring out. From the absolutely astonishing artwork to the lovely, developing routes of each character, (and side characters) it is overall s beautiful creation. I've loved this novel since it was just being created and it's only grown since. The realism yet fantasy and experience of being with either of the characters desired truly brings it joy and understanding.

Justin Graham

What makes me come back is the fact that they are all people I would want to be around irl. Also when you dive into their story, it’s so easy to fall for them. Like in real life, when you have sex for the first time with you partner, you feel like you’re relationship with the cast is strong and not just a reward for making them happy. Spencer and Dozer have been my biggest reason for returning as well ( especially Spencer)

TammaFantasy

Hmm, I first started playing this amazing game, out of curiosity about myself and out of the my addiction to dating novel games x3. But I've grown really attached to the characters, their personality portrayed through their dialog is AMAZING. I also REALLY love the artworkput into them, I'll admit it makes my Kokoro Doki doki soo much. I love the "slice of life " part of the story i just naturally adore stories like that. Last thing, this game makes me really wanna big huggable bear like Coach Grifter, or touchy Feely guy like Darius x3.

Taryx

What caught my interest in the first place was the "slice of life" style, but what keeps me coming back are the characters. That and the smart, well-written and well-thought-out dialogue and stories. Maria is far and away my favourite side character, and giving the main cast competition for favourite overall character.

Anonymous

The writing and detail you do with each character like Grifter and his depression that is so well done that I knew how he felt as I have lived it and still do so that is definitely an interesting thing and that is just one character I could go on about the rest but I don't wish to leave you with a novel

Everos

The game you created is one of the few English gay visual novels that i know of at the time. The story sucked me in when i started my fist play through. The character development is amazing and i have no idea where the story for each character is going which is the best part. I am hoping for more sex and nudity between both main and sub characters.

Tangakwunu

I will try to be short because there is a lot of bulls**t in my life that caused me to bond with your game. I love all the parts that you mentioned and more. Initially I was drawn by the furry/muscle part X_X but then I fell for the perfection that your imagination has created. The Story - The design of their bodies/faces/XxX parts - their personalities - The way we influence their lives like we are the characters (But id love it if we can not be so limited to wait for days before we can slap em on the ass or something like that ^_^) As an autistic gay dude it is hard for me to bond with guys because of how weird they are to me - so playing this game and how the characters are sooo similar to the guys iv'e dated so it helps me understand people who do not have autism more. I just hope you continue to create this game for years to come <3 I will always support your amazing work <3

Zaos

To put it simply the characters are extremely relatable and well realized, the setting is fun, the writing is good and keeps me invested, and art from an artist I really enjoy. :D

Ash Cinder

I'm really drawn to the characters, so far there isn't one main or supporting character I don't like. Their personalities are just so genuine and each of their character arcs are so compelling, they just make me want to keep playing to see what's going to happen to these characters next.

Halin

im gonna keep this short and weird Spencer's ass is why i come back that and good updates

Arkantos Kitsune

I'll try to summarise it as much as I can: - The story is well done! It makes you want to see more making you impatient for the next update which is not an easy task given how many visual novels I've seen/played. - Characters are likeable and well constructed (Spencer best husbando) - Artworks are nice (I mean duhhh...it's Cursedmarked after all x3) - There are some things that I'd want to know more about but I suppose that will come in due time: for example, MC's background and true identity, I think that's all I can think of right now. Keep up the good work, Dyne and happy new year! :D

Licorice

Well like everybody else has said. The story and character. I relate really well with Chester. I was a geek in High school and as I got picked on because of it. It got worse when they found out I was gay. I didn't have any gay friends to talk to. If I had a gay geek bull like Chester, things would have been much different in High school. Lol

Aurora Lovecraft

Im gonna be super honest, I first tried out the demo thinking itd be a quick porn game, but i got sucked into the story so well. I very specifically find myself drawn to the characters. they feel like real people! i find myself aww'ing at cute things and wanting to comfort them when theyre sad. Spencer was and is my first choice and main bae, but i've grown to love all of the characters, Chester is an amazingly adorable (ha pun!) guy and i wanna hold him so tight <3 and spencer is so fucking relatable. like hell yea bitch you got the goods flaunt em! tbh if my self esteem wasnt so low i'd have tried dancing for people a long time ago, i think i'd be good at it. its very nice to see such interesting relationships between everyone. im on the final leg of chesters current route and will soon be trying dozer and darius next, from what ive heard im in for a ride with darius haha. I really look forward to how the story plays out. Edit: oh yea and it was just HOW relatable and amazing the characters are that inspired my recent pledge! keep up the amazing work <3

NikoElys

Spencer and Chester remind me of my boyfriend. Both serious when he has to be, but silly and dorky when he wants to be. Although he is far far away, playing this game really hits close to home.

Arcaevius

The potential for sex drove me to the game, but the story of the Coach kept me hooked. When I first downloaded the game, I completed what was done for coach in roughly 9 hours. Granted, I wanted them to just bang already, but I do like how relatable the characters are.

Hyao

There is a lot of reason. First of all it's about your writing skills. It's enjoyable and easy to read. You made characters very likable (Even Darius!) and each of them have their own story. I really enjoy learning new things about them with every update. During some of the more dramatic moments (For example the drama with Diana or Darius's accident) I wasn't able to get away from the game, I really love how well you can build the tension and make things interesting. Also what I like here is how you handle the choices - the same route can be played differently and there are still new areas to explore, it's not about small changes but sometimes it's the whole new scene. And those are only a few of the examples that comes into my mind right now.

Inari Industries

In all honesty I litterally have an addition to vns so it's more to feed my addiction hehe. That doesn't mean I don't love them. It's just I have an addition to them so I always keep coming back without fault.

Anonymous

There are a few reasons why I think I like it so much: - EA is very a niche game so I'm super glad it exists. - It's superficial to say but the character designs are what brought me in. - What made me stay was how loving and dynamic the characters were. - Morality and character pursuit are aligned so it's easier to make the right decisions. - The player isn't punished by pursuing one character. i.e., the other character's aren't sad about your choice, in fact, they encourage it. - Lewds are the Cherry on top

gonna level with ya i just really like cows

Donovan Grayson

At first it was just how attractive I found all the guys, but the more I play, the more I find myself loving their personalities and stories. And each guy has something I can relate with for example Chester is a smart goofy nerd who loves video games and playing cards just like my boyfriend, while Dozer sometimes sees himself as not being good enough.

Silverjack

All of it! the writing, the art, and the characters. (But mostly Harold) Its just so addicting.

PoCub

I think the main thing is the stories and character development. Each character is individual (I love them all) and seeing how they grow over the course of the stories is really well done to the point it made me become a patron so I could get the updates earlier. There are some things about all the characters I can identify with which helps a lot of well. It's just a very well one and accessible visual novel. The second aspect is the art as it is very well done, again all the characters are individual and very cute/good looking. I would be lying if I said I didn't like the sex scenes as well, but I think that's because they're well written and well illustrated but it's not the main draw. Overall it's an engaging piece of work that keeps bringing me back and rereading all the stories again and again. I can't wait to get to know the characters more (and Coach's date at the theatre and ritzy bitz!)

Anonymous

I find some of the characters relatable, I like how you really get to know them and their struggles. That and how the sexual experience with them feel organic

Xeralex

Personally, I'm a bit of fan of the slice-and-life games, but I also like yours cause I find the story of each character quite unique, I mean there are twist and turns witch many wouldn't expect to so up. It's simple and yet really well thought! Personally, I can't wait to see how all the story turn out with each one of them! As for the sex part, well that's just a bonus X'D!

Bunnylover

I like the idea of VN, where the choices affect outcome. It was the artwork that made me want to play it, i mean who wouldnt want to date a big buff dude. But its the story and relatableness to the characters that keep me coming back. I want to see how MC relationship with each person devolpes, how he helps Coach with his depression, how him and spencer will live together and what dirty secrets spencer may have, having darius find love, chester and dozer I just wanna see what happens in thr end as there story I feel are the most natural.

GrimFloof

Your characters are so relatable an intriguing. You've crafted such unique and wonderful characters that just draw me in. Usually there is some kind of stereotypical trope for each character and it usually seems forced, but you've somehow managed to fine tune their personalities to the point that everything seems natural, nothing seems forced. There's a lot of more personal stuff, but I'd rather not say here, plus I'm not that eloquent atm and I can't get my point across.

Tenabra

What draws me into it are the story, character and the main protagonists. Plus this game is super sweet and coach Griffin is like a friend/boyfriend I wish I had. I also like that the main protagonists story and hope to see that develop

PoCub

Oh and I'll add its made think about doing my own visual novel in this style. It's very early days but it has made me appreciate how much work and planning you must have done just to get this off the ground, let alone keep it going. I would be a 10 patron if I could afford it but unfortunately I will just have to stick with the 3 for the moment. It's made me appreciate the overall quality of the work even more!

Bruno Adamant

If I am being honest, its how it reminds me of Morenatsu, which was the first VN I played. The characters had such depth and I was drawn in. I am hoping for a similar experience here.

Anonymous

Although the ship has sailed for this point by now, it's the sexual tension for me. Chester's and Harold's routes showed this off the best I think. The buildup to dating is great.

BassPuppy

What drew me to this game was the art. It's well done and I haven't heard of the artist before, as I am not particularly into furry things myself, but also not at all opposed to them. What kept me was the writing, the characters, and the story. It's not a bunch of shallow exchangable characters only there to get laid. But really well-presented characters, each with their own strong points but also flaws (Chester's unreflected aggressions, Spencer's overly-professional demeanor etc.). But it' also the slice-of-life stories as you call them. I was most impressed by how well you depicted Coach's depression. From all the characters, Dozer is the one I can relate to the most.

Chris

I've been trying to figure out that myself. My interest started prior to IDEKA, before most of the sex scenes existed (only coach?). So, it's the romance novel aspect that hooked me. That's not my usual thing, I'm 53 and not a push-over when it comes to writing, and I still click through text at times, but there's no denying Chester became my honey. (Caught me at a vulnerable time, perhaps?) It was a close call though, I could have despaired for lack of a clear indication that EA was not to be kept tame from beginning to end. I could try to advise you, but how can I? I would probably not like the game if I had made it myself.<br><br>It's Darius that keeps me coming back. But I don't see him as most people seem to. I saw him from early-on as damaged goods. It tuns me on a bit to be supportive (I 'bottom' though!) I still hope to see a split ending with him: make him monogamous (he'd have to be SO in love with me), or best-friend him and partner with Spence, giving the guy lots of platonic love and ending his carousing. Either way he has many days left in his story. Are you planning a sequel?<br><br>I should add: the faces in the artwork are one of the biggest assets. If I could change anything in the art I would ask for less bulge, especially in the chest. Those boobs need a little deflating, imho.

Well, what i want to say, i reach the knowledge of extracurricular activity, cause i love furry is my life..i dream a world full of furry...and i find this game...i love it, every contenent, story, drawing, sex, all is good and i really want to life like extracurricular activity!! i love furry..i will say again i will always love furry, cause is the most beautifull and exciting thing in the world be fucked or fuck a hushy,lion,dragon or whatever spieces...and i Like Spencer, and darius and chester, i like spencer cause he is the perfect boyfriend xD too perfect... Darius cause, even if he is a bad guy, is honest with what he say and promises, and have a lovely talent for music, and i like chester cause is like me a little nerd and cumsly, a bit of a fool we can say...anyway i liked the furry cause it helped me to discover new part of me and cause in the immaginary world u can do anything, i dreamed of spencer often, and chester too xD it's like an illness, but i would call it happyness xD...and maybe with playing this game i would know more and more people that share my interest for furries.

Shin! 乁( ◔ ౪◔)ㄏ

For me I find the guys really sweet and cute :3 The sex scenes ummmm... I don't mind but they are not the thing that draws me to the novel. I am waiting for a full version to be released though, or a day selection or something, because I grew tired of replaying the increasing amount of days after every update :/

ArcTheWolf

I discovered it through a group I'm in called Furry Bara, I was always a big fan of Morenatsu and when the news came that it was never going to be fully translated I never found a game to fill that desire for a good story with some sexy. Then I found EA and it was almost as if a void was filled and with buff guys nonetheless it was a perfect match for me and there was no way I could just pass it up. Plus let's be honest who doesn't like a nice bulge which there are plenty of in EA :P

Anonymous

Well the sex idea is what drew me in. Plus the characters aren't bad looking, and have charming personalities which helps. They don't feel to artificial, even if the lives their living are. Overall, if it wasn't for my appalling financial situation I'd be supporting you...and only you. This project just seems fun, and you're incredibly open and honest from what I can see. Plus a little part of me gets joy from the fact that when I talk positively about EA...people think I'm talking the Video Game Publishing company.

TyrantShin

I was a big fan of VN lewd or not and one of my favorites was morenatsu it was a sad day for its lack of completion. And really when i saw your nobel on twitter and played it a bit. I immediatly fell in love! All the charectors are well written and memorable. And god griffer made me cry for this pore guy more then once my god it gets so real sometimes. Its just so well written and and god im upset that i cant say more. So far griff is still my fav this man is true husband in the game! Or least for me. Please continue to make these guys as awesome as you can!

Anonymous

I wouldn't say there is an exact thing that drew me in, I happened upon the game while looking for VNs to play, as I was out of classes due to being ill last year. I was looking for something to make me happy, and that talking to friends on Facebook couldn't do for me, in the same way. I'm glad I came across the game though, everything about it I've enjoyed so far, from the characters and their personalities, to their backgrounds and the interactive factors. It makes me feel, like I'm talking to actual people, which allows me to put myself more in place of the MC. Then I can find similarities between myself and some of the characters, and similarities between some of my friends and the characters, which just helps to draw me in. That, and the artwork and music are really great too. I've found myself listening to some of the music while falling asleep too.

Solitary Hyena

It is the slice of life aspect and how rounded the coach is (the only guy I dated). Living with him through hardships and happy times just creates and emotional connection which makes me want to come back for more.

Korel Dagh

I've enjoyed my fair share of visual novels and most of the time I've only felt drawn to maybe one or two of the characters from the cast. With ECA I've come to adore the entire tennis team; everyone's got their own unique imprint that gives the experience a fresh feel with each update. It also helps that I'm a passionate tennis player so that's scratching a very, very deep itch.~

TheOneDayKing

When I first saw it I was like “a gay, furry, visual novel/dating sim? That’s right up my alley.” But what’s kept me was… everything working together? Really. Like, the art’s AMAZING, the music is awesome, and the characters all feel real to me. I really do love each of the characters for themselves and I get really emotional when something bad happens to them or they start opening up more because of what I do

Frost Knight

I have to say I really enjoy the writing of this game. The characters are all really likable and interesting, even the protagonist who by design is something of a blank slate. The way the characters talk and act often reminds of actual people rather than a collection of archetypes. They're well-realized. Likewise I enjoy seeing the relationships themselves develop which I think is helped by the slice-of-life format. It feels more like a blossoming romance than a collection of fan-service and teases; though when the time does come for fan-service and teasing I enjoy it even more because by then I'm emotionally invested.

Twister212

I am a big fan of Bara. Big bulging men make me happy. This game caught my eye originally because of the character design everyone was sexy. But as I played the game I became more invested in characters and their stories. Usually in games I play the characters are seemingly perfect and if they do have issues it's resolved almost immediately; this happens a few times in your stories but I have a feeling you have more in store to deepen these characters relationships. I actually like everyone's imperfections. Coach, Chester, Darius, Dozer, and Spencer is the order from the ones I love the most. It may be cruel to rate them like this but all I can say is sorry it's just how I feel. I like the sex scenes but I like the dates and cute scenes that happens between characters. You should have a popularity poll! Just an idea.... I know this is pretty difficult for you and I know you've probably thought about it but have you ever thought of possibility of mixing two routes? You gave the possibility to get like from other characters during different characters routes. I would love to see Coach and Darius fight over my affection! lol sorry I know you don't want to hear idea but this is another thing I love about your game! It's incomplete! Anything can happen and it's fun to imagine what could happen next!

Auren Drakeson

Ever since Morenatsu, I’d loved furry VNs, so seeing another on under development had my interest. I love the story, getting to know the characters in the slice of life that takes place. The sexual conent is lovely, but its not a make or break factor. Its like the icing on top of a fun adventure going through the motions of a romance novel. I’m glad to be a part of the journey!

Kumaguma

I believe that I like the novel due to how I relate to some of the characters especially Grizz. I find that the story is compelling with how we get to know these characters and the relationship that is built upon their interactions that culminate from platonic to non-platonic. I feel something for the characters that is deep compared to other visual novels that fall under this genre and I would like to keep on supporting you as best as I can.

Vivienne

i saw someone reblog a post about ea that featured coach and piqued my interest and after coming across it again a few months later i decided to play it. as for the reasons i keep playing it, it's different for each character. coach and chester are obviously my husbands and i love their relationships with the mc. chester is an adorable goober who i love very much and he and mc go through a lot together and both grow and learn with each other. coach has a lot of sex appeal (as well as the sortof forbidden fruit aspect since he's both older and mc's teacher) but he does a lot to make mc comfortable with the situation and exposes his vulnerabilities so they're able to have an even, equal relationship. with darius and spencer i'm more interested with them as characters, they're not the type of guy i'd go after irl (darius especially would be drop-kicked into the center of the earth if he tried pulling some of the shit he did with me) and i find i have to 'act' more on their routes and give answers i normally wouldn't give than i do for the other routes, but they're both really fascinating for almost opposite reasons and that keeps me playing their route. dozer meanwhile is somewhere between; he's good boyfriend quality but i'm mainly there to see his growth and development over the course of the story.

The artstyle is something that I always come back for, and also Grifter. Always was into bears, and Grifter was the biggest example (i bought the body pillow lol). The attitude of the characters is well written and carried out, especially Grifter. It doesn't help that fucking my coach is a fantasy of mine, or especially knowing what happens in his route is heartbreaking and you want to cuddle him but yet simultaneously would do anything for him. Grifter's attention to the main character really makes me love him doubly. I haven't paid much attention to the other routes at all, since I'm not as attracted to the others (I always go for older dudes anyways lmao), but they seem to have defined characters and always get a chance to be featured. The polished updates always catch my attention, and I found out about ECA at about update 1.42, I got a copy and played for 3 hours straight.

Mainly the characters; I find each of their personalities interesting in different ways, and I'm enjoying watching their arcs play out. There isn't really much of a "story" in EA, but that's totally fine - it's not about some major world event, each path through the game is a personal story about MC's experience with one special person. The writing is generally top-notch, the characters feel believable within their respective personalities, and each one has a sufficiently different personality to feel like a different entity. I think the character art suits well, background artwork could do with a bit of a makeover to match the character style better. I like the music as you've been adding more of it; in places it does a huge amount to affect the mood (e.g., the music during Dozer's massage "confession" - one of my favourite scenes from all of the routes). While very enjoyable, I'm glad that sex isn't the end-goal/game over with the characters; I'm not sure if you have a beginning-middle-end plot-arc in mind for each one, but I'm delighted that 3rd-base doesn't seem to be the winning condition! Chester would be my IRL husbando; but the character progress I'm most intrigued by at the moment is Darius' - I'm super interested to see what direction you take him in, particularly given what the nurse told MC in the corridor... great stuff! Thanks Dyne for continuing to work on EA! ❤️

Paracelsus

It's very genuine - rather than purely focused on sex and cliched characters, it comes across as heartfelt and earnest. Maybe a little naive at times, but that adds to the charm in my view. You write people, not porn.

JCH

the unending vortex of depression sucked out all of my life force and my ability to maintain real life relationships so the only way I can feel is through gay furry VN's (preferably big guys tho)*

Anonymous

I found it by accident on Itch.io when I was checking out some other games. It just showed up in the recommended tab while I was looking at something else. It piqued my interest so I took a quick look. Saw there was the public version available so I decided to give it a try. Started with Coach and was quite hooked after a couple hours of interacting with him. I've played through all the characters routes but I always come back to Coach. There's heart to his character and it's relatable. Same can be said for the other characters as well but I just love Coach's the best. He's also super cute so that helps, haha.

Anonymous

Personally, i love following the stories and have grown very fond of all the characters. I personally love coaches story not only because I love him the most, but also how he and the MC work out issues in his life. The sex scenes and all the sexual tension are just an added bonus haha.

I actually discovered traces of your visual novel a while back (years ago) but wasn't in a position to provide proper support yet. Now that I am able to branch out a bit I gave your tried out your public version back in august and was blown away at everyone of your characters. You portray each of them with such realistic personalities, that I managed to apply some of the solutions to 'real life' situations. I can't remember the last time I was genuinely excited to see the next update, my only regret is I wasn't able to provide support earlier. Keep up the good work.

P.S. Coach is sweet BUT Spencer is love Spencer is life!

Yoked Coder

I just love the characters, they are so lovable and attractive, you can easily get infatuated with any of them! The story itself since its a VN is good and well paced, with moments of just casual relations with the characters and we can see how now as the story develops other characters influencing each other. It just makes you wish the months would pass faster so we could see where more this story takes us as we cant get enough!

Wheeler Bertrand

When I was searching for new visual novels after discovering "Blackgate" I found this and the art drew me right in. I LOVE all the characters for different reasons. I'm esp. fond of Coach Grifter and Spencer. I hope their stories continue. I relate to a lot of the problems each of them go through. Again, esp. Grifter's and Spencer's. Chester is my nerdy side. Dozer is more introverted as I am. I've met "Darius" types before though while I can be pervy like him I try to be sure it's consensual towards others and I'm not a major snoop butting into others affairs. But yeah the art is really nice and hope the artists gets to flesh some sense out that are in outline state right now. Please keep this going as long as possible. I always look forward to the next update.

At first I came for the hunky guys, but then the more you started developing them I started loving them for their quirks and how easy it is to relate to them. I can actually see a bit of myself in each of the guys and it makes me giggle knowing that they do or say something that I would if I were in the same situation. I remember finding this vn on Tumblr and immediately fawning over Harold, and honestly the telenovela vibe his route has makes me giddy, it always reminds me of whenever my grandma would watch it and how over the top extra it was; I loved it. But the more the vn developed I started falling for all the guys and Maria as well, oh how I love our overprotective pseudo mom and honestly I would love to see more interactions between her and mc.

Grawl

What I really like about your game is how different it is from all the other VNs out there. A lot of other VNs try to go with an horror/mystery approach, while it is nice, I feel like the character progression lacks for them and the sex scenes are feeling forced. In your way of describing the story of your characters, it feels natural, slow paced (which means more character development) and really fun and interesting when something great happens to one of the characters. For example, as most of the VNs, I expected the main character to tell his love to everyone, but the scene with Dozer asking you out was just amazingly made. Sex scenes are interesting, but I'm mostly there for the slice-of-life aspect of this visual novel.

Anonymous

Naturally I want the sex scenes as that is what initially got me interested, and this also goes hand in hand with the character design since I like it and I am also attracted to the main characters. However, I also very much like the writing and character development. After playing 4 of the routes I got very invested into the story of each route, the characters and also the romance. I'd also like to mention that my favorite thing about the way you write is how natural and realistic each character and the way their events play out is. Ohh, and I really wanna say this as well: I seriously appreciate all the effort you put into the more informative things during the story such as the bonsai trees, medical stuff with Dozer, the cooking, the specific tennis strategies they think about when playing, etc. Its seriously great. I look forward to seeing the complete game.

I won’t lie, it was honestly just for the sex at first. The designs just screamed “this game is about sex sex sex”(not in a bad way). I started with coach and fell in love with him. Yeah he is a hot bear, but when we started to learn more about his past and his ex I started to fall in love all over again. It felt weird that I fell in love with these sexual characters but NOT for their appearances but their past, goals, dreams, and flaws. It’s just such a well made VN and definitely my favorite so far.

Guhreth

As Mark said, loved the look of the guys, and the art style in general. But yeah, the character development and further general story is also fantastic

badaimrac00n

At first, it was because I like the beefy dudes. Even the less beefy dudes look good. Then I played a bit and found it mildly relateable because I played tennis in my last year of high school. Then I got drawn in by the slice-of-life stuff. All of this was before I played any of the sex stuff, but I love how the sex stuff plays out. I'm a fan of Dudedle's Touch &amp; Tease games and love how something similar can be done in RenPy. This is a total package win for me.

Crade

I really enjoy the story development of each character in the game and I can super relate to the coaches story and chesters story line. Also I enjoy the sex, but who doesn't ;)

Phloww Bluegleam

I like the looks of the characters, their personalities and development. The story flows well and of course, I want the sex scenes. I do enjoy the slice-of-life and romance happening. The details you put in with each character's interests/hobbies makes this VN quite deep.

BlackWolf007

Ima be honest as well. I was into the attraction of Spencer more so his looks; not much the sexual but the life situation.. it's really cute and adorable. I can really see coach grifter and Spencer and Darius going passed day 30... more so to 60 or inbetween. there is just so much more to see and understand with the character developments and story lines becoming a extremely great game and will continue to receive even more hype. Still wanting to see Richard route too as well. Don't forget that.

Kinda forgot. It's also how much of a good amount of quality content you give per month and how you interact with your audience (like this post).

AnthonyWDrake

I came across your VN by accident actually and the moment i began playing Spencer and Dozer i was completely hooked. For me, the sex scenes are an awesome bonus to the VN but what truly keeps me hooked is all the characters personality/quirks and how i relate to it. The way in which you naturally build each character through their route is by far the best in any VN I've come across thus far and i'm able to just sit and play/read for hours which is saying something because i have ADHD XD. Your time and dedication really shows for each character of EA

Svel Ruddertail

I'll admit, at first it was to see hot hunky guys and the character you play have some hot steamy action, but then it turned into more as I learned their stories, paths, hardships, and roles they played on the Tennis team. Each character is a unique experience, each having different hobbies they love or enjoy, and each coming from a different background that you can relate too in some experiences. So I continue to support EA novel because I'm interested to see where their paths take them next. Plus to see if you can get more romantic with them, I'm such a sucker for that stuff hahaha.

Naesaki Ashwell

At first it started out as merely I have a big love of the visual novel genre and also I had been looking for something that captured that feel of Morenatsu but truly you've provided oh so much more than it ever could have done (though I am still saddened that Morenatsu will forever be left unfinished.) But yeah with this, your characters very quickly drew me in and I love just how supportive the MC can be as well, a lot of gay visual novels/furry visual novels out there, a lot of the time the MC is just either extremely perverted or is a jerk/its all about him with no other character traits beyond that and they end up too much of a blank slate, which leaves me wondering how the characters find them attractive or even likeable. I mean sure a blank slate is all well and good but when you have stories where its an utter blank and no way for you to fill it in outside of your own head canon which means it has no bearing on how the plot unfolds, its like, why bother? But here the MC is still blank to some degree since we do of course make choices, but at the same time he also has some background/history before we take control and thats something I've really loved about this VN. I've really got connected with the characters and seeing them have genuine development, really been absorbed in each of their stories and wanting to know more and more about them and I am really looking forward to seeing how all of their stories wrap up. &lt;3 :D &lt;3

For me it was the character design of Spencer (he's a hunk!) and also that I knew that it might be a R18 thing. Also I'm a fan of visual novels because the stories are always like surprise eggs ;-)

Griffonheart

Hm. For me - Big Beefy guys on the front cover of the game ;) But seriously, once I started playing, I got more and more invested into each character's story, and each of them... sort of 'resonates' with me, as I play. I just want to find out more about them. And you have a great writing style - it draws me in, as well. Similar to my own writing, I think. I just adore each character, and of course, Maria, the ever peppy Kitty. ;) And - I'm also a big fan of VN's, if they're well done. And yours IS well done :) Maria wouldn't cook this VN to well-done though ;)

Anonymous

The art was the initial draw to support this game, but, then, as I started playing, the different personalities were... to be honest? Well written-the moment I started talking to Chester, I was immediately invested (yes, of course his pants caught my attention too!~ *chuckle*). Then as I explored the other characters' paths I just... It was always emotionally satisfying to be able to talk with them, learn about them, and grow closer to them. I know I would probably be too shy to talk to -any- of them would they be real, but, I'd be thrilled if I'd see them come to life *blushing* And yes, the sexual portions have been delightful... ehh hehhh... ^_^;

MauveAdagio

There’s a few reasons for me but I mostly come back for the characters, they feel real and well rounded. The story telling is very credible as well with things flowing like you’d expect with the MCs relationships with the other characters. It never feels like the events are forced which is an issue with other visual novels I’ve played. The characters are all lovable in their own way while not being fitted to one specific role which is quite refreshing. You’ve been doing a great job with the updates and developing the characters’ stories and personalities. I hope you feel proud with what you got going here. Thank you so much for all you’ve done!

Anonymous

Well for me the thing that drew me to EA was the art style and sex. However, after starting to play the game the characters personalities grew on me and the stories started to be just as important as the art and sex for me. I love the way EA creates the importance of personalities with sex in relationships because it make these characters and routes much more meaningful and life like. I love the game just the way it has been developing. Keep up the good work and keep doing what your doing. ;)

Anonymous

Mostly because I fell for the depth of each character. You are doing a great job of portraying extreme situations without making them seem overexposed. I prefer EA over other visual novels because of that reason. (Also the characters are super sexy.)

Nemakalia

I guess my answer is potentially not positive but it is genuine. I am hopeful that due to your current system of "points" for certain dialogue choices there are multiple paths and choices. I know it isn't a current thing to like or even confirmed, but I am hopeful you have plans to ensure people are rewarded for their choices.

Terry Kurosu

I keep coming back cuz I really enjoy the story and characters. I could go on for a while about the various characters and my individual thoughts and opinions, buuuut...nah. XD What I will say is that I love this project and hope to see it through to the end. Also, I think I speak for a good majority of people when I say that the day the project is finished will be awesome, but really sad. Great job, Dyne. Keep up the good work, and please never lose that creative heat. ;3

RouvenDesc

your VN's characters: Spencer and Darius, reminds me of my two friends who will never get along. Mainly because one of them was in a relationship with a woman, and the other decides to fuck her without the other's consent. Things got out of hand, and pretty much will never be friends to one another, ever again.

RouvenDesc
>>9301534

your VN's characters can still get along, one way or another. And it's pretty much something I want to know how and what they do to become acquainted with one another, without strangling the other.

Hyou Vizer

The story, I want to see how the MC and each romance route progresses. Like how a different route the MC always eventually finds a job with the help with their boyfriend from said route. Their own development as wonderfully crafted characters you've created Dyne, they each have a sense of realism. Chester for me is so relatable, I'm a total video game and especially card game nerd, but quite the airhead with a temper lol. Then there's how you incorporate the sex scenes always have a sense of nuance to them unlike many other bara games where its just sex all the time no matter the situation and no depth. So while love the sex scenes too, SO MUCH, but those are a one part of this game. But yeah.......for most and me included its the, character personalities, sex scenes, and in depth writing you do to describe each of them &gt;:3

djinnlover

I love the sex scenes, the characters are super hot. Definitely add more if you can dude, but I really do love the characters and how their personalities are developing. Coach Grifter, I love him so much and I just feel so bad for him whenever I replay his route. He's just a precious little cinnamon bun who deserves to be loved and have his crazy ex leave him alone! Anyway, smut and the characters. You have made some of the most realistic and well fleshed out characters I've seen in a VN, and I've played A LOT of VNs.

Funnyguy1995

The first thing that caught my eyes was Grifter and Dozer because big, chubby/muscular guy are my big turn on. After that it became a case of my curiosity got the better of me, I had to know what you did next and love what you have done so far. Especially with what you did with dozer this update.

Anonymous

I had already been watching Cursedmarked and that ended up drawing me to this. Once I tried it each character having an individual personality and plot kept me in. It’s refreshing to see a game like this where you can see so much attention and detail to the characters and their plot, rather then a plot which is just a break from sex. It’s also very nice to see how much the people working on this game communicates with the community. So not only do you connect to the awesome characters, you connect to the awesome creators of those characters.

whatever your sexuality is, i applaud you for playing. I could not ever bring myself to play a Yuri (lesbian) romance game. I don't wanna see vagina period not matter well written it could possibly be e_e this game does give the option to avoid sex scenes entirely too surprisingly, so you can do a PG-ish run of a route. All tho occasionally frontal nudity will happen on a character sprite haha

Gaffgarion

Duude, its the love stories. I'm totally falling for every one of your dream boyfriends. I love the slow buildup into a romantic date, or scandalous outing. The first catch for me was Spence, I was dying to know his secret. Darius started out as a saucy playboy into someone I'm dying to get to know. Chester went to raging bull into perfect mootaku gaming boyfriend! Dozer went from an intimidating giant into the biggest softie, and most adventurous outting of all in the last session. Harold is hiding all these secrets from his team, I really hope he gets the help he needs in the other routes as well. I totally love the guys, and their bodies are huge sex appeal. I love the feel of realism to the stories, keep it up! You are the only person I really support on Patreon b/c of how much I love EA!~

I mostly like the story. The character personalities are just wonderful and the sex is the attraction to the Visual Novel. But I mainly like the story of the characters. All the different possibilities and the anticipation for what comes next on the next update keeps me attracted to it. I especially love Spencer and Dozer.

Cleyton Carlos

To be honest, when I first saw a tweet with three bara furries, it was kinda of first-sight love... And there I go! looking all over the internet for the source... And when I finally download and actually played the game... Oh my goddess... I think I stayed because I think I don't will be able to let it go. I became so emotionally attached to this game, the story, the characters... All the big things but mostly the little ones.

To be honest, the promise of sex stuff drew me in. However, I enjoyed the story and character building far more than I expected. I relate to the characters or at least enjoy coming to understand them. In the case of Chester or Dozer, I could actually see myself dating someone with his personality. With coach, I relate to him. Maybe a little too much.

Anonymous

I like the slice of life story, but I also like the guys. Darius and Spencer especially

DNV

For me, I think that the way you develop feeling between mc and other characters is really good especially with Darius. Of course the sex scenes is one of the things that does pull me back but aside that i want to know how the relationship between them turns out. And I definitely love Spencer cause he hot along with Darius but i more into his personality than Spencer.

hiro2196

I'm curious about everything about them, like their backstories, the first time they met, and more X3

zealian

even though this is a game, i really like that it shows that not matter your age (coach) or how broken your mind is when it comes to things (coach, chester) how well you thing you know someone (spencer) how big and or scary someone looks (dozer) or how you want to close your self off from relationships (darius) love can come in many shapes and forms, So you should never judge a book by its cover. As love can be found is just about anyhting if given the chance.

RW

The hot bara style artwork drew me in. The excellent writing and genuine interest I felt for the characters was what kept me and got me to dontate to my first ever patreon. Oh, and the SEX. Hot damn. Keep at it. And please don't make me wait too much longer to top Harold ;)

Namine Ritsu

Anything I could say has already been said so I'll just choose D. All of the above

GrayMech

initially it was the art that got me interested but what kept my attention was how ell written each character was, they all have their own unique personalities, problems and strong points which makes them really interesting, I've found myself going back and reading Dozer's route when i want to relax a bit and when i read through Spencer's i get nervous rush like butterflies in my stomach, and Coach's route brought me to tears at points! the best part about extracurricular activities for me is getting to interact with each character in a personal way that lets me connect with them, i feel more interacting with the characters you have written than i do with anybody i know in the real world right now Dyne!

In the beginning it was the fact that there aren’t very many anything out there for chubby furs. The story you created though and specifically coach grifter really had me interested and connected. Also I’m really hoping there will be a scene where coach grifter tops the character ;)

I love how real and relatable the characters feel compared to so many other VNs.

For me my reason I love this game tons is hands down Darius. His story and personality are my favorite that's so emotional to me. Spencer and Chester are at a hard second. This game has some nice writing and each update is like a new episode of a rom-com series and I love it. Also another plus side is this is about only the second gay furry dating sim that I've found and could tell it has passion and time spent on it. I love it. Keep doing work! &lt;3

I think I am drawn to Extracurricular Activities mainly because the characters and their relationships are well developed. Also it strikes a nice balance between seriousness, humor and sexiness.

Vn's in general attract me, but this one is the best so far, great stories, great characters! with lots of personality too ;)

I love the plot development with each character especially with all of the different possibilities that could happen. Having all of the different generas appeals to all of my different personal traits. Its very relate able and allows for both happy and sad moments to help us care about the characters.

I originally came for the art, because I'm a huge fan of cursedmarked, and stayed for the excellently-written characters that I have come to genuinely fall in love it. (Darius being my favorite for whatever reason :) )

I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to be so long. I started playing cause I just needed something to take my mind off things and dating sims usually do the trick. I was looking for just a normal gay dating sim but stumbled upon it even though I'm not a furry I decided to check it out cause there aren't many high-quality gay dating sims out there and you could tell that heart and effort went into this demo. With Harold, It felt like I met someone who understood my depression and found someone who actually liked being around me unlike the people who I thought were friends but just left me when I needed them. Dozer I met someone who was big and intimidating on the outside but really has a gentle heart kinda like how my friends and family describe me. Chester was just my perfect boyfriend I've always wanted, He is far from perfect but he shared so many hobbies and interests that I do and got excited over things that would bore anyone else I talked to about like card games. Spencer, I felt like I've known him forever someone who tries to appear as Mr.Perfect but is just another normal person. With Darius, I hated him at first because...well it's Darius, but the more I learned about him the relationship he had with his family I relate to him way more then I knew and when that thing happened I honestly felt my heart drop and I got really anxious and everything over a fictional cat. Dyne what you've done is provide a great experience and I'm really looking forward to the day when the game is finished. Just thank you for what you've made.

What drew me to EA? I remember stumbling on the EA thread on U18chan when it used to be on GFur before it got moved to the discussion area. I recently dropped my pledge with Blackgate due to Bane doing a poor job on things(I.E Double charging at the end of the month with very little content etc.) While i did enjoy echoes, since it was runned by the same group that made BG, i didn't want to pledge to them. When i first tried the free demo for EA i expected it to be the MC chats up with one of his 5 options and then they fuck in a couple of scenes. What i got was individual character driven stories, each one of them tackling certain issue's that the characters had. Weather it's Harold's depression and lonliness, Chester's trauma, Darius's home life, Spencer's insecurities, or dozer's friend/daddy issues, i was immersed in the lives of these characters and i wanted to learn more about them and over time i related with them. I relate to chester the most, being a huge nerd myself who knows the sting of betrayal quite well and had unwanted sexual advances pushed upon me. But it never got as bad as what chester went through. I also see a bit of myself with dozer as well, quiet and reserved when meeting new people but im rather defensive and crude more than reserved. But when im comfortable around people im quite the imp. Just like dozer in a way. I can sympathize with harold because i have a few friends who suffer from depression and i wanna help them in anyway possible as well. EA is quite the contrast to BG. EA is bright, vibrant, campy, with some mild drama and have warm and welcoming characters. While BG is Dark, gritty, edgy, with an over arching plot with rather distant and "alien" characters. I came for the characters and stayed because how you ran things. You keep us updated and gives us a heads up if there aren't going to be an update, interact with the fans and take legitimate criticism quite well. Actually kept your promises on getting merch and followed through on that. So from that you have my loyalty and my pledge. Keep up the good work UnDyne the Undying.

the slice of life writing, the characters and how I relate to them (especially Harold and Dozer), basically everything other people have said. &lt;3

I've been on a VN kick for the past few years, but only a few had really drawn me in. I played the public beta you had available at the time and fell in love with everything; the characters, their personalities, and the amazing art. As the game has progressed I've grown really attached to everyone. Their growth as characters and your growth in story telling is really amazing, and I can't wait to see more and more. And of course the sex scenes are wonderful, and them being interactive just adds to the experience.

SRS

1) You're doing great job with your VN, i think the only person who is more productive than you atm is Klace 2) i love good plot in games|movies|books and you're doing great job at keeping me entertained 3) i have concern about style of some drawings, but it's still good, so i'm down with that ;3

Merük Holland

I was immediately drawn to the game because of Spencer and the fact it revolves around tennis. After I played through Spencer's story, I played through the others as well. I love the story and the romantic aspects of each story line. I like the sex scenes, but I would still love this game without anything explicit.

Homura

At first it was because the characters were HOT and i love cursedmaked's art. Now its all that, plus now i love your writing and personalities of all of them too. And plus its interactive makes it even better! Its all such a good package

I always try to think how the story will end and pretty much every time you surprise me with something I didn't imagined. You make me love all characters even if when i disliked some of them at the beginning. The art is damn good. The musics are great. Every stories are unique. This game is just the best visual novel between all of them.

Chema

Well I was looking for gay VNs and I found yours. I started by playing Coach Grifter's route in the demo and it touched me so much I decided I needed more of it, so therefore I became your patron. And well worth it, as when I played the other routes I loved them too, they are superbly written. I also like how fluid communication is between you and your players, as well as your transparency. Keep up the good work!

Great art, story I enjoy following, I like the characters, the inter-activeness, and it's better than other visual novels that I've played by quite a bit.

Mark

On gay themed visual novels some writers make the mistake of going straight for the sex. You write to try to get people to building a emotional link to the characters first, very well done.

Omri

Several reasons: first, as strange as it sounds, it relaxes me - everything's fine and nothing horrible is going to happen no matter what you do. Second, I love the artwork: beefy and furry are two of my favorite styles. Also, the stories are great, and gay relationships! and sex! what more can you ask for?

I really enjoy the personalities and quirks of the characters. For the sex in particular I enjoy that we can choose different activities.

I enjoy the stories that each of the boys offer, as well as the unique personalities that they all have. They're each enjoyable in their own way, and it keeps things from feeling too stale and makes me that much more excited for each update.

Nickthulhu

Honestly there's a lot to like. I originally came for the sexy bits. I stayed for the story. All the characters are fully fleshed out. They all have different personalities and they're not cliche. No pun intended but they're not two dimensional. I've found myself really liking all the characters, even the ones I thought I wouldn't. The story's great. CursedMarked's art is great.

Frostfalls

Gay stories--especially those with "bara" characters--don't tend to have characters written beyond being one-dimensional sex gods. I like being able to establish an emotional connection with characters that are written beyond just their sexuality and stereotypes (which is a pitfall where most fictional gay characters plummet). EA also tackles real issues that happen to real people all the time, which I truly appreciate. It might sugarcoat the gay experience a bit, but it has depth and tries to accomplish more than just being a game where you can have sex with hot guys. Also, the characters being well-written helps them in being believable.

Asarus

I was frankly drawn in by the muscle and bulges, then enjoyed the feelgood stories and characters so much that I've been a supporter ever since. It's a game that just makes you happy. The sexy scenes are great too, the interactivity and playfulness of them is wonderful!

i love the design and story and obvously the sex but you've done an excellent job ^^

Taimaishoo

I somewhat relate the the guys and I love the slice-of-life stories! The sex scenes are just a bonus for me. I don't want the stories for each of the characters to end! I want to know what becomes of MC and Spencer; does Spencer go pro? How does it affect your relationship; does it enhance or hinder it? When do they start learning to cook? When does Spencer and Darius get along? How does your job hunting go, now that Darius knows about you used to be in a homeless shelter, does he try to get you a job? How does THAT affect your's and Spencer's relationship?, etc. etc. etc. etc.

I don't agree with you about "But here the MC is still blank to some degree". It's only your opinion. And the game is not over yet. We can still learn a lot about him.

It's the story for me, especially when you can fulfill my expectations and simultaneously blow them out of the water. Example: I first played through Coach's route and going through the first date at the amusement park. I was thinking to myself, "This is a cute slice-of-life story, but what would really make it interesting is if Coach's ex-wife would call tomorrow or something and cause drama in the relationship." Not only did drama ensue, but she goddamn shows up at the end of the date and I was all, "Holy shit." It was right then that I had to support you on Patreon and find out how the story unfolds.

I love the story line, the artwork of the characters along with how relatable each character is. I really like that you choose to make it a slice of story line, the details you included to give the sense, that you are building a bond with the character day by day in aspects other than just attraction/ sex is something that really draws me in. I can't wait until all the artwork is done for backgrounds, not having the sense of scenery of where each dialogue was happening to compliment the audio that was their the only thing I didn't like much. When i played the coach route, there where moments when the dialogue said they went to side of the house or sat on the swings, but the screen just remained on the background image for when you are dropped off after practice , if you could include images for those scenes, to help give a better image of where you ,as the main character lives , that is something i think would be awesome. (I only played update 1.46 so my comments are based upon what i experienced playing that version). The involvement you have in the outcome of the tennis matches is something that is also like. I don't know how long you intend to make the game but having the chance to still go on dates and still experience some drama and ups and downs after you had sex is something i always enjoyed and love to see in a dating sim. Some games just feel like you are just leading up to having sex and that is the end of it, I don't know if have that is what you had mind but that's just something I wanted to put out there, maybe having it as option on certain days or maybe after a date once you get to a certain point with a character would be something i think would add a sense of realism to the story. Sorry its so long lol

i love the story behind all characters, and i love the characters design and personalities , you putting lots of effort and love on them, its what makes me love this novel so much &lt;3 and inspire me to draw them !!

EA is kind of an odd thing for me to follow, since I don't consider myself a fur. I'm honestly much more of an orc and humanoid fan. But I do like how the game gives us detailed views of different personalities and characters. A lot of the guys are really likable, so I keep coming back.

I like visual novel type games, although I find that if I don't like the art, it puts me right off and I don't play them. Unfortunately for me, almost all the visual novel games I come across are in the more anime type art style, with tall, thin, androgynous looking men, which I really don't find appealing at all so that tends to eliminate 99% of the games. The art style for Extracurricular Activities is exactly what I like (furry or no) and what initially got me to play and the quality of the writing and characters is what is keeping me interested. I like my men bara, the bigger the bulge and the muscles, the better, but their personality is just as important and you've got both in this game. You're really good at developing each character's personality and interests. I'm not going to lie, I like how hot the guys are and I wouldn't mind seeing the characters drawing more attention to their more...sexual attributes more though. Actually perhaps the better option would be to give the player the choice to compliment and encourage them to show off more. That way, depending on your mood, you could make that playthrough with that character more sexual or more romantic. That lends itself to more replayability. Personally, I would love to compliment Dozer on his muscles more often, or encourage Chester to really put his huge bulge on display, or to coax Spencer into being more of an exhibitionist at work, that kind of thing. Don't be afraid to make the characters a little more sexualized, this is a bara dating visual novel after all. You've done such an outstanding job at giving the characters great depth and personality, you won't be selling them short if you bring a little more sexy in. ;)

the "tall, thin, androgynous looking men" are bishounen = pretty boys and are meant for straight female audience like "yaoi" as such. why straight women would be into men that look like other women is beyond me, would make me think they themselves are closet lesbians lol. i've always thought EA's characters were sexualized enough as is, i mean harold's tennis clothes has his hard nipples showing through his shirt and his pubes coming out of his shorts which like literally all the male character sprites in this game are super bulgey hehe. but having more sexually charged moments besides their sex scenes would be even nicer &gt;:3

RedMane91

absolutely love the story!!! Definitely relate to the characters in different ways. Originally the art style drove me away but honestly, its how well written the story is and how it conveys emotion and the situation that really drove me in from the beginning. I know it’s all still a work in progress but I can’t wait to see all the completed routes (spencer/Darius/coach fav so far).

Moridin1972

Well this will actually be the first thing I've posted/responded to on here so kudos Dyne for getting me to end that particular virginal streak ;-) I initially came here on the recommendation of a couple of friends I play FF14 with. I was initially expecting it to be 'just' another furry/bara erotic VN, but over the time I have stayed as a pledger it really has sucked me in. Definitely the characters themselves are a big draw - I was initially caught up with Coach, and explored Spencer's path somewhat at the recommendation of the same friends, before dipping into the others. I am totally hooked on the slice of life element and getting to grips (metaphorically, emotionally and often physically) with the different characters - especially Darius (who is fast becoming my favourite) - is a real joy.

For me, it seems like so many gay dating sims are all angsty with MC being shunned and finding solace in someone or are coming of age stories that take place in high school or something. This one, taking place in college and being about just finding someone you like is so much more relatable especially for me being a college student myself. The TLC that goes into this game is also a pretty obvious draw. All of that mixed with loving daddy Harold and you pretty much have me hooked.

PaleAngel_90

When it comes to Chester and Harold they play my heartstrings like a musical instrument, and they wake protective instincts in me (which is usually a hard thing to do) for them, Darius and Dozer pick my curiosity but I'm wary of them both (Darius has HUGE issues with being unable to be in a relationship and being promiscuous, but then he shows a "more" tender side of him as a friend, and manages to capture my interest and Dozer's shown that Harvey has it very easy to manipulate Dozer into sort of cheating MC, which instantly leaves me wary but I can't deny that Dozer's an interesting guy on his own right) When it comes to Spencer... I can't say that I'm interested in him (he's too perfect, and that has me inmediately on guard and wary). Plus considering his personality and mine... We would be clashing on a very regular basis, I'd rather avoid that LOL

I'd be lying to myself if I said I started playing this due to the art style (which isn't bad). That being said, I played because of the interest in sex. But that's a bonus at this point, I stayed and even backed this game because, like a broken record, I like the story, characters, art style, etc. I can relate to the characters in terms of stuff like personality or how they act. Another reason would be that it's a VN. This is the first VN game I will ever play pretty much lol, every other one looks uninteresting. Oh, and the furry aspect lol. I would have have gone into detail, but then I'd be writing a story or something. Anyway, thanks for asking and keep up the good work!

Arkenophas

Firstly, I was searching a game for sex and furry. I never tried this kind of game, and I really liked it ! At the moment, I just finished with Spencer, and I think I really felt in love ^^ He's so cute, I just want to wake up with him next to me in the bed (aah, it hurt to think he doesn't exist :( ) The story was really well made, and I'll try all of the characters ! As I'm french, I laught when I saw my charachters don't understand the french words Mme Esperanza was saying ^^ Sure, when I'll have some money, I'll give some ! Thanks for this game

SassySauns

I keep coming back as I love learning about the guys. Figuring out their pasts, learning about their hopes, seeing them be confident or flustered. Cute stuff like that makes the romance more sweet ^-^

Brian Damiani

I cannot put into words what it is that draws me. But I have been able to relate to every character. The sex is just a bonus. I fall in love, if it can be said that I am doing so as i have never fallen in love before so I do not know. But I do know that these guys are special to me and help me cope and realize that life can be hard, but it does move on and get better if you try hard.

Antonio

I have never been a furry fan until I read these stories. The stories give you a slice of someone's life. Each character has their own personality that makes it inviting. The art and writing are what keeps me coming back. Now, I'm a furry fan lol.

Touhoukid

There's a lot to like about this visual novel. The characters have endearing traits, slice of life-esque situations, and the relationships leaves my heart beating for more. The music can be pretty catchy at times, and while it's a work in progress it does show there's love put into this than a few other games I've played. I definitely look forward to it's completion!~

Alex Winger

Well for me it was for the sex at first but then I found that I was drawn to it for it's well written story in their slice of life and how you build up the chemistry between you and the character till you get to be in a relationship with them in a way that fits extremely well with the character's personality and how well you write them in a way that makes you feel like you're in the story as well and keeps wanting for more...not a lot of VN succeed in doing so, that just shows how good you are at writing and how much love and effort you put Into it. But what I love the most is how petsonal, emotional and relatable you make me feel to the characters like Harold for example... I'm not gonna go into the spoilers but the problems that he's struggling with are so relatable to me like you have nooo idea. I really wish for you the very best of luck with this project from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to the day I finally see the completion of the full game.

Came for sex, stayed for the plot. Character developments are fantastic, personally a Spencer fan, so it’s really interesting to see how Spencer had another side where no one knew, and I just love how he’s always caring for the protagonist. He’s just that type of guy anyone would’ve dreamt for, and it’d be even more interesting to see some more conflict between them. Really curious to see how EA ends, keep up the good work! :))

Raistlin

Hmmm the sex is a big factor for me. I love the buildup leading up to it. Most of the characters are great as well, and like one of the other posters said, the general vibe of EA is different from a lot of VN's, different in a good way. The MC is great and likeable, while still remaining relatable. The others are different enough to make every storyline interesting and diverse. Then there's the art... ow man... I joined Patreon for IDEKA, then found out about EA and was hooked. CM's artstyle hits all the right notes with me.

I just love Slice-of-Life Romances. Now the sex is a massive bonus, but ultimately what keeps drawing me back is your amazing ability to make the characters come to life and let me feel like I can really relate to them.

Oh dude, so right words, thank you. I love Spencer too and his relationship with MC is just so heartwarming and touching. I hope they will be happy together (even with small conflcits between them. That's the case with a lot of families, it's understandable).

Yuki Yamada

I agree with you. Most of the characters are really great, The MC is really awesome guy and the art style is juicy. Everything you just said was right, thanks:)

Also, I've played the updates I missed, and you've done some great work Dyne. On another note, I really hope somehow that stuffed bear that coach got from the MC, is repaired, or a new one is gotten for him. Poor guy. Like, maybe Maria helping the MC to stitch it back together, or the MC going to a store or the amusement park on his own, to get one for the coach as a surprise.

I love most aspects of the game, the story, characters, romance, the baraness that are the men; but that's what makes this game so unique and keeps me coming back each time. I really hope that even when the main characters are complete that you would still work on it by adding routes to some of the other characters and cameos like Richard or Bam.

Dkj

I can really relate to the guys, especially Chester, and the game just feels so alive. The writing is terrific, and really draws you to the characters. Plus they're all hella hot and that's a def plus.

Rahal

Good writing with some good characters that feel real (Chester ftw). That they are also hot and that you can have sex with them is what drew me in in the first place. And I still enjoy those moments the most I have also become interested in their stories. So good job on all fronts really. And more hot chester plx :D

Cypher

I really like the hurt/comfort story line of the coach. It's really well written and it actually tears at my heart strings to see the emotions change on the character pictures change to him going into a depressive state. The story line set up for the PC is amazing as well!

Healer Main

Echoed in a lot of what's already been said: it feels 'real.' The characters are believable and have distinct personalities. The game doesn't go quick-to-sex, but the tease that IS dating is ever-present. I'm surprised how long it takes to see Darius naked TBH but everyone else's path feels very natural.

First of all the artwork,i will focus on Spence since hes the only reason (and darius once his story arc stabilises and stops being a douchebag) im a patreon as the rest of the characters arent my style. the slow pace is a major turn on, getting to know the characters and reading the flirting back and forth, the honest feelings between the characters and the realness of the scenarios. For Spencer specifically the primal fantasy of the top athlete with great body &amp; smart guy, but also shy guy, protecting you and having a crush on you at the same time as you while everyone else wants to get in his pants is amazing. i relate to the MC as having a crush on spence even though unfortunately im seeing more and more of the blue blob character in the sex scenes which i feel really is starting to deduct from them, either a human or furry would be great but the blue blob is starting to feel like a separate entity. speaking of the sex scenes,i feel the spence2 scene was a big miss in the artwork department (the dialogue was stellar though) with just a couple of closeups, it would be so much nicer to see more of naked and aroused spence as described in the dialogue, and perhaps more interaction as the first scene rather than just the dialogue forks which lead to failure or success. some animation would be amazing on those scenes but i guess we cant have everything. god i love this game... hahah Great work guys, you really have us on the edge.

Yuki Yamada

I have the same opinion about "the blue blob character" in sex scenes. I really want to see the canon appearance of the MC in sex scenes. I just hoped to see Spencer and the MC (not black silhouette). I hope that Dyne will fix this in the future. And yeah, Spencer is my personal favourite too. His route is something magical. He seems to be the best match for MC of all characters (they're childhood friends, they are very close and their bond is strong from the very beginning.). They are my favourite OTP&lt;3

MaxKojote

I personally enjoy the slice of life. While I definitely lust after the coach, I think Spencer is still my favourite character. He's beefy, he's a good longtime friend, and he's very much there for you. It's rather heartwarming, especially when he shows he's always more than happy to help the MC through their difficulties. It's sappy, but I like the protective, friendly love he shows for you.

Yuki Yamada
>>9495655

I agree with you. But i don't think it's only friendly love.) It seems to me that he has a crush on the MC from the very beginning (from High School; I have read about it from Dyne's tumblr).

Nick

For me, I really like the story. I like to make different choices and see how they affect outcomes and I like to see where things go and how everything progresses. I find it very interesting. I also enjoy all of the artwork and characters (especially the sex scenes! Mmf!) I enjoy getting to know the characters too, they’re all different with their own personalities and it’s really cool. I just love everything about it and I will always be coming back for more &lt;3

PsychoJay

When I first saw the game I thought it would be just about sex but then I got something so much better! I love the stories so much and can't wait for more! The art and sex appeal is what first made me get the game but the story is what made me fell in love with this game. My favorite character is by far Harold and he has the best story. I love how the game isn't just about sex like lots of other games like this. The stories and characters feel real and I can't wait to see even more of this game!

Surfpup

Even unfinished, this is one of the best Visual Novels. Chester's story is really sweet.
