It's here!! It's finally here! Omg only god knows how long I've been waiting for this lol. I'm glad you are safe Frostclaw, we haven't heard from you in a while (I was worried and I'm glad you are okay during this crazy virus pandemic). Anyways, I'm glad to see that the project is still alive and I'll keep cheering for the entire Stormsinger Studios as well (be safe guys).
Heheh, thank you so much for the support. Things have been pretty hectic yeah, but otherwise I am safe. Hopefully the next updates won't take anywhere near as long to release.
i.......can't....wait any longer, i must quench my thirst for quality gameplay.Has there or has there not been an announced release date yet, i'm practically melting from excitement at this point, this game is great. So great it's somewhat addictive.....the whistling shreaks from 1000 souls bellow will only be silenced apon the release of the next update to this game. Until then you shall rest and be consumed by the sweet bliss of unconsciousness
As a lover of the original Morenatsu, I was a bit reluctant to play this homecoming alternate version of the game (silly of me of course), but I am honestly so glad I did. It is such a beautiful alternate game and finally there is an actually developing story for Torahiko. Thank you so much for this demo and all the effort that has been dedicated into making it into the amazing game it is so far. I look forward to the next update ^^
Out of curiosity, would it be possible to get the progress spreadsheet updated? Looking at it, it would appear that you haven't worked on anything beyond the beach event, but I know that previous comments have indicated otherwise. It would be neat to be able to track your progress.
There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes. As far as content goes, the next demo (6.0) will contain the complete beach events for Kounosuke, Shin, Soutarou, Juuichi and Kouya.
Kyouji, Tora, Tatsuki and Shun will be coming at a later date as Demo 6.1. The reason this is being done, is because the beach events themselves are massive in scale, and unlike in Morenatsu's original incarnation and even Morenatsu Revisited, they contain more than one activity per route, with these activities playing out differently depending on whose event branch you're on.
I also wanted to release something, because I feel bad about the extensive delays, due to me working full time, and putting this specific part together mostly on my own.
Once Demo 6.0 is out, I will of course update the spreadsheet to reflect the content. I appreciate your patience as I get this done.
Are you guys still gonna work on this, I really want to resume my route and I can't wait for the next update for the beach. It's been awhile, I know it's hard, but do you have a date on the next update release?
(Copy-pasted from my reply on Santa Lucia's page, so other people can see it hehe).
Hey, life has been pretty hectic these past few months for us all, and Frostclaw (Homecoming's director) has been hard at work on the game despite his real life being very busy. However, the next update, Build 6, should drop soon, so please be patient. We haven't given up on Homecoming.
I'm hoping to get the next release out soon. Real life has been hectic, and I haven't had as much time to myself to dedicate to the project, which also explains why I haven't been able to respond to many of these messages.
Just a quick question about the nawty-bits.
Will there be only human-peens like the original, or are you thinking of using animal genitalia? (only bits i saw ingame so far was the otter)
Because personally i am all about knots and barbs >.>
Maybe a toggleable option?
I asked a question awhile back about whether some things (particularly with Shun) would change from the original game, and I mentioned how the way Shun's scenes were handled seemed to treat being uncut as a fetish, which was a bit weird to me. They told me that none of the guys in Morenatsu were going to be circumcised, and the way they answered seemed to indicate they were going with humanlike genitalia. There may be an exception for Tatsuki like there was before, but I can't say for sure.
All genitalia in Homecoming will use humanoid-type anatomy. As for cut vs uncut, that will depend on the artists. Realistically speaking, circumcision isn't a big thing in Japan, so it stands to reason that the majority will be uncut.
I expect them to have human dicks. For that you have to look elsewhere. I think I've seen VN's with these properties, but I'm not sure. Oh, right... I know of at least one which has it all. Name's Shelter. It's a young project, although very well done. One small sex scene is already in game.
I'm sure it goes without saying, but make sure you're taking care of yourselves! Without you, we won't get the incredible stories that you've been providing. This goes double for Frost (who apparently is handling the entirety of the next update on his own). DON'T BREAK YOURSELF trying to push this out. This entire project is being provided to us at no expense to us other than patience.
Stay safe and we'll be here when it's done, Kilik Odagawa
Well, many fans of the game speak Spanish as well as English and those who do not know English could not play it and that would be good if they added two different languages and Spanish. I do not speak English. I use the translator haha so the game could reach more people.
First of all the game isn't completed at all. Second why would they translate it? There's lots of languages, so choosing one would be pretty unfair, unless it's their mother tounge of course. I think the developers are English, but I don't know.
Once the project is finished, we may look into getting people to translate/transliterate for us. We already would have French sorted out due to Devilizer being French, but at this time, we're not really planning translations.
I wonder what they're planning and working on that it takes them so long. But I guess nobody knows more, because they don't have patreon or any other site, though maybe Twitter or something. I'm not sure.
I love this visual novel, and how free you are to make choices, honestly for a demo, it's a really great visual novel, i cannot wait for more, just a question, how can i update it on android without deleting the app?
Depending on how they release updates you may not be able to. Try downloading and installing without deleting the previous version if it gives you the option to update an existing version then you should be fine. But if they released it as a separate app instead of a updated app then the only way to carry over your save is with a rooted device. Unfortunately android likes to hide its internal workings so unless the developer sets it up you can't normal get access to some app files. This unfortunately includes save files. It may be annoying but its better to stat new every update any ways it reduces the chances of errors. If it refuses to install it maybe because you don't have enough space android likes to keep a certain amount of space free for updates. So it may look like you have 1gb of space but android may only allow you to use 500mb of that.
Thank you ^^ well, ill just uninstall and install the update, i do not mind, it's a great game and it's not linear so i wont mind playing it again, at least i dont have to watch the same scene 10000 times
@BlazeSaber is partially right. It is true that you can't update the existing app, if the new apk doesn't allow it. But you can go to your files on your phone copy/take the save files, put them somewhere you will find them, delete the old version, install the new version and place the files in the folder.
Path: 0/ android/ data / homecoming.morenatsu.revisited/ files/ saves... And there you have it. :)
(I use ES Data Explorer, may need pro version. Or use Total Commander. Just try a few file managers and see which one works best for you)
So there's no misunderstanding, there is no "patron only" build of Homecoming. Our Patreon is only for the development of our other project Santa Lucia.
The next build of Homecoming is taking a while because we're aiming to have a good chunk of Act 2 playable. Because of the scope of the rewrites we're doing for the beach sequence, I can't commit to a release date beyond "it's done when it's done" or "Soon(TM)". Frost has reported that he's completed the Kounosuke branch recently, so it may release sooner than I'm making it sound.
I don't know if you have played other, similar VN's before. Your profile suggests otherwise. So, if you want I can name a few projects to help you pass the time.
Thanks for your great contribution to this game. Are there any completed character routes? I have only played the original version of this game and am worried about this game's playtime is too short :/
At the moment, Homecoming only goes up to the beginning of the beach event, which is about 8 in-game days. If you're coming from the original game, that may sound short but Homecoming is set up so you interact with multiple love interests on each day. In practice, you're likely spending about as much time reaching the beach day in Homecoming as it takes to reach the Bon Festival in the original game.

In the original, there was no route for Tora. The closest you get is... halfway through Juichi's route, I think (in the original game). You get a choice between Tora and Juichi, and the game ends if you choose Tora.
I only didn't play the route of the wolf that is friend of the bear. The one you see naked in the "bathroom" when you go meet Juichi in the city. I forgot the name of the fight they do. It was in the old version 0.5. To be true. I didn't played it really only the ones before it.
And like the other guy said. Have only a small end for the tiger in the middle of the bear route in the older versions. With out any special art.
And I think this one doesn't have the raccoon's route.
After be with a pain problem in my back since March and be 15 days in fever until the middle of May. I just hope my back be completely recovered because I am tired of be rest and not able to just sit front my computer to back in Second Life. I know a few tigers and a liger there. Just not sure if they still remember me. Lol
I am most feeling no pain today, but everytime I had coughs and sneezed a lot all that back.
And yes. I wanted see his route. Play the Fool version didn't helped much, Since it is so short but I had a nice time after the get out of the bus.
...
I just dreamed with three big hammer sharks swimming around me today in a deep dark ocean. One stopped front of me holding me when I felt his big belly against me...
Maybe I do tell you the rest of the dream someday. Meow =^.~=

I'm glad to see there's so much effort and passion put into this project, lots of support for the creator and the team behind this. Looking forward for the next update cause i really wanna spend some time at the beach with my boy Juuichi!
I wonder if the Portal Reference in Juuichis Beach event was kept in (You know the one where Hiro and Kouya gang up on Torahiko for spinning them too hard)
We have no expected date for Demo 6. As I have been full on with work lately, as well as the Beach event being massive in scale, this is causing extensive delays. However, we appreciate your patience, as we want to ensure that we are providing a good quality experience.
If you dont have an expected date for Demo 6, could you give us a rough estimate of how much of the update is done? Like a percentage or something, if you guys are okay with that.
Sorry about the delay in the response. At this time, I don't have a real percentage amount, as this already huge event is being mostly rewritten from scratch. Many apologies for the inconvenience.
Just a heads up to our regular itch.io forum users! We found we haven't had the time or capability to make the forum section of our page grow, so we've decided to go with the simpler comment section! Apologies if this change comes as a surprise! Hopefully this will make engagement a bit easier from both sides.

Yesssss x3 a new update
This...is too relatable
It's here!! It's finally here! Omg only god knows how long I've been waiting for this lol. I'm glad you are safe Frostclaw, we haven't heard from you in a while (I was worried and I'm glad you are okay during this crazy virus pandemic).

Heheh, thank you so much for the support. Things have been pretty hectic yeah, but otherwise I am safe. Hopefully the next updates won't take anywhere near as long to release.
I hope you enjoy this new demo. :)

Why is your comment like that? like it's written on a paper, i cannot send screenshots
Rating your own game is not the same as updating it, you know? ;/
Well, I hope everything is going smoothly in your lives and with the project itself.
So, we've got 2 new Morenatsus: Morenatsu Homecoming and Morenatsu2. Interesting... Imagine both teams working together...
(For more VN's look on my profile, there's tons now. Hope you find something you like)
Don't worry I'm patient and just kidding. :)
These dislikes on my none-humiliating, threatening and not truly seriously meant comments are triggering me, hard! People explain yourselves!
As a lover of the original Morenatsu, I was a bit reluctant to play this homecoming alternate version of the game (silly of me of course), but I am honestly so glad I did.

Oh, yeah, we have definitely worked on a lot more since then, I'll see with Frost about updating it.

alright thank you!
¿Piensas algún día traducir el juego en otros idiomas?
Si, pero no pronto. Tal vez cuando el juego esté completo.
Hay alguna actualización programada para este verano?
Hey is there gonna be a route for torahiko since in the original game didn't had too much to do with him !?
Every character is going to have a route, and that includes Torahiko. :)
You guys should definitely include the Ten Kodori route, and maybe even expand it that would be cool as well, keep up the good work.
We have no plans to add the Ten Kodori route. We will instead be incorporating several elements from it within various other routes.
I'm glad you enjoyed the route I originally made for Revisited though. :)
Do we know when the next update will be? It's been awhile and i'm itching to play! :)
it seems that Morenatsu isn’t the team’s only project. They are also working on VN called Santa Lucia.
I've played that one too. I like both games.
I'm hoping to get the next release out soon. Real life has been hectic, and I haven't had as much time to myself to dedicate to the project, which also explains why I haven't been able to respond to many of these messages.

Anyway, great job with the remake so far! ^-^
I think there will be only furries, i havent seen any humans
He's talking about the characters having animal dicks or not.
Oh, i dont want to give spoilers but i have seen a dick in the game and it's a human one, sorry i havent played the game before
I asked a question awhile back about whether some things (particularly with Shun) would change from the original game, and I mentioned how the way Shun's scenes were handled seemed to treat being uncut as a fetish, which was a bit weird to me.

Yes please. I like my furries with sheaths and lovely red/pink swords ;3

won't they translate it into spanish?

Can we take a moment to admire Torahiko's six pack.. that looks appetizing🤤😋
Yeah... 😍
I wanna lick them
when will the next update be posted???
i can't wait!
Whenever they finish it.. Its a longer one that includes evreybodys Beach Scene
I wonder what they're planning and working on that it takes them so long. But I guess nobody knows more, because they don't have patreon or any other site, though maybe Twitter or something. I'm not sure.

Which file manager do you use? I can access the save files of Homecoming, but not every game. (Yes, my phone isn't rooted)
Nevermind, thanks for helping tho, i will just replay the game, thanks again Resbach
Alright, there's still the "fast forward" button which is quite useful, but I'm sure you know it.
You're welcome

I can't tell you how happy I am to have the words "Kounosuke" and "rewrites" so close together. Please make me like that tanuki.
I don't know if you have played other, similar VN's before. Your profile suggests otherwise. So, if you want I can name a few projects to help you pass the time.
(Or you can look on my profile, that works too)
Please consider adding some option so we can play with the original morenatsu sprites
Unfortunately that is not going to be an option.
It's fine, the sprites you guys have made are really good too.
What are sprites? Sorry, i am new to morenatsu and pretty new to visual novels
this game is really good cant wait for more
Thank you!
I'm extremely excited to see what will you do for Torahiko's route ^^ I'm really looking forward to it :)
Thanks for your great contribution to this game.
Are there any completed character routes? I have only played the original version of this game and am worried about this game's playtime is too short :/
Only 7 days right now, an update will be coming soon

can you get torahiko's route in the fan made one? (I haven't played yet but looks hot and i wanted to know if he has route.
ok thx for telling me boo
hrm.. has anyone played the original version? how could i get to torahikos route?
In the original, there was no route for Tora. The closest you get is... halfway through Juichi's route, I think (in the original game). You get a choice between Tora and Juichi, and the game ends if you choose Tora.
yup thats ...... sad.
awww i downloaded the original version but theres some error.... damn... i wish i could see the beginning first...
Hahaha I just downloaded it last day. But I didn't installed yet.
haha i played it and didn't sleep.... i forgot its already morning.....so you already played all route in old version?
I only didn't play the route of the wolf that is friend of the bear. The one you see naked in the "bathroom" when you go meet Juichi in the city. I forgot the name of the fight they do. It was in the old version 0.5. To be true. I didn't played it really only the ones before it.
And like the other guy said. Have only a small end for the tiger in the middle of the bear route in the older versions. With out any special art.
And I think this one doesn't have the raccoon's route.
meh! really... awww im hoping for torahiko.... too bad.
After be with a pain problem in my back since March and be 15 days in fever until the middle of May. I just hope my back be completely recovered because I am tired of be rest and not able to just sit front my computer to back in Second Life. I know a few tigers and a liger there. Just not sure if they still remember me. Lol
I am most feeling no pain today, but everytime I had coughs and sneezed a lot all that back.
And yes. I wanted see his route. Play the Fool version didn't helped much, Since it is so short but I had a nice time after the get out of the bus.
...
I just dreamed with three big hammer sharks swimming around me today in a deep dark ocean. One stopped front of me holding me when I felt his big belly against me...
Maybe I do tell you the rest of the dream someday. Meow =^.~=
Anyone have a clue when the next Shin pdate is coming out, or just the next update in general ??

Thank you!
I wonder if the Portal Reference in Juuichis Beach event was kept in (You know the one where Hiro and Kouya gang up on Torahiko for spinning them too hard)
Someone know where i can download the old full game of morenatsu? I can't find the game with Kouya's full route (sorry for my english i'm from spain)
Here is where you can find it. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26153752/
Thanks!! And for android?
I found it long ago using google. So I found the developer blog. But I am not sure about it right now.
I played the Windows version but I am kind sure that had a old android version of it there.
But it didn't had the raccoon full route like in the 1st old version I played. Just not sure about Kouya's route.
"Like 2 or more years ago. I checked it now. Look like the blog do not exist anymore."
Maybe here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27724241/
Thanks, but this is the version that i've downloaded, well i will wait for the full version of revisited
Nice,I can't wait till the next update 0////0
Thanks!
Do you know when the next Demo is coming out?
We have no expected date for Demo 6. As I have been full on with work lately, as well as the Beach event being massive in scale, this is causing extensive delays. However, we appreciate your patience, as we want to ensure that we are providing a good quality experience.
If you dont have an expected date for Demo 6, could you give us a rough estimate of how much of the update is done? Like a percentage or something, if you guys are okay with that.
Sorry about the delay in the response. At this time, I don't have a real percentage amount, as this already huge event is being mostly rewritten from scratch. Many apologies for the inconvenience.
