Ultimately that's up to personal preference. However I have enjoyed it. Tia's route is quite a bit longer than Diego's route, and as such it an get a bit wordy at times. However over all I enjoyed both. Can't wait for the end of Tai's route.
The full day 5 is released on Patreon right now, this will be rolling out here fairly soon - about maybe a third of it is playable in the current public build. After this we're focusing on finishing Tai's route in the next few updates before expanding on Axel's route any further.
It's a polyamorous route. There will be some small differences depending on who you started our pursuing, but the broad strokes and the destination will ultimately be the same.
There's a 90% chance she will choose a name with the same first letter as your chosen name. There's a 10% chance she'll pick any random name instead. If the name generated matches your chosen name, it picks again - she'll never get your name right. This is also the same list of names that choosing a random name on the name selection screen uses.
Not sure if this is a bug, But... Whenever the text box appears in a new zone, The tiger dude keeps appearing.(I dont remember his name, and frankly, i dont care(Technicly on his route, but we broke up)) Not sure if its a bug or not, but just wanted to make sure
That's odd. We definitely fixed that issue, or better said, we worked around it - it was an issue in RenPy to begin with. If you can make a save file where it's happening and send that to us via our Discord, I'll look into why it's started happening again
Sorry i didnt get back to this, but im playing from the Itch.io app and im not able to see where the files are stored due to some restrictions.
ALSO Also Why not just link the old "Pizza scene" to the new WIP intro? Then, in a later snapshot, Link the old pizza scene back to the WHOLE old intro, and replace it with the new in-house scene?
The old and new intros have canonical differences and inconsistencies, they don't fit together so we're avoiding doing any mixing and matching at this stage. The save file locations should be the same regardless of the Itch app being used, there locations for each platform are in our FAQ.
Xevvy might make a "Tales of Woodcrest" or whatever its called about that, But nothing else I guess. Also, Eric just wants to fuck near the time you meet him, So you most likely wont get to date him sadly.
I read some of the previous posts, and find the criticisms odd. I read Diego's route first, then Tai's. What impressed me was how much your creativity as a storyteller had improved. Tai's route has much more content cleverly woven through it, with other characters and their sub-stories adding so much interest. I look forward to your future updates not just to see what Happens to Tai, but to Eric and Jay, Dom and Axel, Logan and Tobais, with possibilities of other relations like the dog and kangaroo. You must realize by now you could turn this into a regular novel instead of a VN with descriptive content to replace the visuals.
Far from being upset over Russel's early involvement, I am glad to see you are starting right off with serious character development in this route, instead if it appearing towards the middle.
After reading some of the short sighted comments, I don't wonder you feel a touch of anger and burn out. Please do not let the quality of your work or the progression of your literary talents be stunted by those who think you are writing some sort of short comic book feature.
These critics may be loud, but are hardly in a majority; most people like your work I am sure.
When I read the log for Axel/Dom's route I was so excited thinking it was finished (|||-_-) But now I'm super intrigued since Russel is part of the story right from the start unlike other routes. Can't wait to see what the Axel/Dom route had in store, but I'm also wanting it now lol.
Can't wait to see what's next! And how soon we can get the cheetah cheeks XD
Well I just finished Diego's route and honestly, the writing was amazing.
I personally wanted to go axel's route but from what I read in Diego's route and the new update I'm guessing you won't end up together but that's just a guess anyways I'm sure it's going to be good
What would a route be if you didn't end up together by the end? Axel/Dom's route is still in early stages, but it's full of unexpected surprises - be sure to check it out! Otherwise Tai's route is almost complete and tackles a story with a broader scope - give it a shot!
We're not aware of any present issues like this so this would appear to be an isolated case. Assuming you're on Android, try uninstalling the app, redownloading it and installing it again fresh. Also be sure your device meets the minimum requirements, most notably 2GB of ram is necessary for the game to run properly.
I'd like to start by saying that I enjoy the game so far, and I'm looking forward to the Axel/Dom route.
That said, I did find the conversation with Tai at the start of the route a little dense. To be clear, I saw your response to Watery Zen, and my comment doesn't concern the structure of the route - I'm totally fine setting things up in the first few days. I just found my attention lapsing a bit during the conversation. Obviously Tai is a loquacious character, and I wouldn't want you to change that, but perhaps a couple more lines of MC's thoughts or observations somewhere in the middle could break things up a bit.
To finish up the comment, this was my first time playing since the UI update, and things look really nice!
I don't think I've said this before, but I've taken a liking to our rather quiet ursine companion, Logan. He reminds me of a friend back in my hometown... .....................
I really, really love this game! It's super fun, has great story, and just grabs you by the throat and makes you play more (lol). Love the character designs and artwork as well! Everything looks beautiful.
Also, for having 4k assets? This runs quite well on my rather old laptop.
I do have one question, though. Do you have any plans for any kind of Eric route?

This VN is awesome and very cutes characters, but about this last version one (0,51) (A little spoiler) sorry but it sucks a little -_- I was forward about watch the first Axel and Dom route's day but I only saw a neverending dialogues between main character with Tai and Russell and nothing more else, thats all . Me : WHAT? O.O, I felt a little dissapointed and boring, several months waiting for this route, almost a first interaction with Axel or Dom and nothing about that happenned :`( . Dude it sucks. Please, please, the next version less boring dialogue and more interaction with the main characters in that route
Its not my fault if you continued read my comment when I wrote cleary in bracket SPOILER, Its your own mess, not mine, the next time beware with the word SPOILER or read other comments if you dont like some of those, some people have the right to write which each of us our sensation or constructive opinion if we want or give some point if it helps. I am free write whatever I want always with respect, but you are the one have not any right tell me what thing I have write or not, its not about your bussiness. If you dont like, dont read more comments then dude
It was interaction with a main character in the route. It just so happens that this route has a few unexpected surprises up it's sleeves. In the art of storytelling, setup is necessary for the payoffs to feel earned and rewarding, and if you always get given exactly what you expect, that would get horribly boring and predictable. Good things take time, so be patient and enjoy the journey. What you're looking for will come, but there's a story involved, so at least give us the opportunity to set that in motion before you complain about it.
I understand, you are right, sorry if I could sound a little rude its not my intention, only it was a little perception mine but I could be wrong, whatever I dont know if each version are monthly or each 3 months or so and I was so look forward for a new day with Axel or Dom, but I like your work and you have a great work with this project, I hope the next version look forward. Thanks for your answer and merry Christmas and new year :)
The last update was 2 weeks ago, but releases vary. These initial scenes set the stage for things to come, and Russell has a huge part to play in this story - it wouldn't function without him. There'll be plenty of Axel and Dom from day 7 onward,
All the other routes have you immediately spending time with the love interest, and I like to think that this one is unique for doing something different. It does a lot of things differently from the others, such as not having a traditional villain character, and of course tackling the subject and logistics of polyamory. Just be patient, these things take time. We're only at the very beginning, and a unexpected surprises need to happen in order to set the story in motion. Just be aware that the next update will be the same, so maybe hold off on that one until we add some chapters in day 6.
I get that you didn't enjoy the update because it wasn't action packed but I think that's how most stories/movies/shows/books start. They gotta build the foundations to get you immersed into it and then when they add in drama or action you understand why that character would react in that way. I think it's also because in literature you structure your stories normally containing exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action and finally a resolution (sometimes). Whether or not this update was good comes down to your own individual opinion and this is not intended to attack your opinion. However it should be noted that this story is still a work in progress and I'm sure you do love Sileo: Tales of a New Dawn since you said "Please, please, the next version..." which to me is indicating that you're staying tuned for more because you're interested in the stories potential.
You're right. I could understand that when the creator explain me that before, sorry if I seemed annoyed before but I really wasn't so. Perhaps I was too excited when I realize a new route finally started that I waiting too since first day and then I dissapointed in that moment, but I can see that works have its progress and its steps. I will wait carefully but ansioux the next updates. Axel and Dom are too cute and I love watch more about their route soon
**Spoiler Warning to anyone who hasn't played the game.**
I am on day 15 on the Tai route, and I was curious on how you came up with the story with Apollo and the whole DCD thing. It is a weird but intriguing story plot point and want to know how it came to be? I have no idea if it is in the Diego route or not, please don't tell me if it is, but I love the whole idea that the world is the same world as ours, just in a future where mankind went extinct. I also noticed that there is some google images as backgrounds. (laughed every time I saw one) Is that just a place holder or something? Anyways. The Game/book is really good so far, and can't wait to continue!
The lore introduced in Tai's Route is largely a mishmash of ideas I've had in the back of my mind for a long time. It's hard to say how I really came up with it beyond it being the culmination of a blend of media I've consumed over the years and my own misanthropic and nihilistic worldview. In a way, I had hoped to show that despite new life having taken up humanity's mantle, the inherent humanity in our successors is what leads them down the same doomed path our species in real life is currently seeing through to the bitter end. Despite some improvements, many of the same old human-made problems simply repeat themselves, as is our nature, and even though this new earth is no longer inhabited by humans, every single intelligent life form is half-human, and that is already more than enough. Ultimately, what lies ahead for them is unknown and open to interpretation. In that regard, my own predictions are no more valid than anyone else's.
As for the filtered photo backgrounds, some of these are original and others are stock photos. Anything we've used we've done so with the appropriate rights, creative commons or somesuch. When we started out, CurryCatz wasn't confident in his ability to render backgrounds and to expedite development, we simply utilized original photos or stock images to fill in the gaps. As it would happen, CurryCatz was actually quite good with backgrounds! These days, we rarely if ever use stock photos, preferring instead to draw original artwork, only using them where absolutely necessary to reduce his workload. Thinking back, the last time we used a stock photo I think was the alleyway on Tai Day 17, which was more than a year ago now! By the time we release 1.0, we're aiming to have original artwork for every background and no stock images anywhere.
My first time playing... I Made the horrid mistake of calling myself Dominic. Now I have to reset so I don't get mixed up, but I guess I'm glad he showed up really early 😅
So question I thought Diego's after Story was going to happen after you finished Taj's r o u t e I know plans can change I'm just wondering what's going on with that also I am really excited to see what you have planned for d o m / axles route mostly going to try to go for d o m but Diego is still my head Cannon route I absolutely love him
In the recent devlog, Xevvy said that Diego's story "will appear when the time is right." Could be before Tai's route wraps up, could be a while after. It's just down to whenever he gets it done and feels like releasing it.
Not at this stage, Sileo is intended to be a free release so everything does release here on Itch free of charge, we just roll out new content one update ahead on Patreon to help cover development expenses and such. We are intending to make a release on Steam at some stage and we're toying with the idea of making the Patreon content available there for a one time purchase, but it's hard to say when that'll be - we're already juggling 8 different build releases with each update and that's already something of a headache
Is there a way to add a "Skip to Next Choice" button? The skipping function in Sileo seems to take a lot longer than most other Renpy games I've played, so it'd be nice to just jump forward.
The skip function runs as fast as your system can handle, but as we're using 4k assets this can be a little slow on some machines. A skip to next choice option would be pointless for the most part as routes such as Tai's have no real choices at all, you'd just end up skipping to the credits! We do plan to include a chapter selection option at some stage, but this isn't an immediate priority
I love this VN, but I only have one critique... the MC is TOO NICE for me. I wish there were more options to be angry at people when they wrong you. Or at the very least that the MC would stop back tracking every time he gets angry. *spoiler alert* I just got to the part of Tobias telling me to fuck off and I definitely would've liked the option to tell him to fuck off right back since I didnt do anything wrong. DEFINITELY at the very least would not apologize to someone that told me to go fuck myself when I didn't do anything wrong. Tobias is a bit of a dick so far and Id like to make up with him, but I also wouldve let him know that he was way out of line in that moment to speak to me and ESPECIALLY to Diego like that since Diego didnt do shit except stand there. Not the only example just the one that made me come comment. Even when the MC is justifiably angry at certain points, he later invalidates his feelings and gaslights himself into thinking he over reacted and shouldn't have felt the way he felt in the first place. You don't have to stay angry and you can forgive, but for the love of God don't act like you're being ridiculous and shouldn't have even been angry in the first place! Again I LOVE this VN it's just an aspect of the MC that drives me crazy.
I just want to let you know that this VN is clever and catchy from the very beginning. I really like the different decisions one can take and that actually it does affect the characters' routes. The story unfolds at its own pace and it always comes with new surprises along the way. It's my new reading addiction 😉✌️ Infinite thanks to the developers 😎👍
It suddenly stopped updating for an intro remake to replace it and now I heard they are starting to work on Axel and Dom's route even though tai's isn't done yet.
We've covered this in the FAQ and in update notes. Long story short we've been taking a break from that route to work on various other things to help ensure that the ending of that route will be up to standard and not a product of burnout. We're hoping at this stage to release the next chapter of that route in the 0.51 update (tbc).
Will Kyrex get a route? I feel like it' is really missed potential not having it with how things can get resolved from another angle. Especially with what happens after you accept the invitation being a massive overreaction on Diego's part.
Same answer as above. Eric is secretly bestboi but the furry community are rat racists. I for one love my little horny ratboi and will see to it he receives some great content of his own via tales.

Is the vn good
Ultimately that's up to personal preference. However I have enjoyed it. Tia's route is quite a bit longer than Diego's route, and as such it an get a bit wordy at times. However over all I enjoyed both. Can't wait for the end of Tai's route.
Hey, I have a question, How far can you go into Axel's route?
I love this game btw and Axel is by far my favorite character
Just till the end of Day 5. After that, You ought to wait till the next update or finish the other pathes.
Oh, Thank you I didn't except a reply this soon. Btw I loved the comment when you dared him to make a musk name.
Thanks!
The full day 5 is released on Patreon right now, this will be rolling out here fairly soon - about maybe a third of it is playable in the current public build. After this we're focusing on finishing Tai's route in the next few updates before expanding on Axel's route any further.
Oh okay, thank you so much I am looking forward to go further into Axel's route
How DARE you just
Cut off me and Russels' sleepover thing?!
That is a heinous act
Real good game tho just please continue the story until its at a mundane part PLEASE
Edit: Naw... Who Adrian recognise in the concert?!?11/1/1
Hello, I have a question, will Dom's or Axel's route separate the two? or in the end would the player end up with both, like a threesome relationship?
It's a polyamorous route. There will be some small differences depending on who you started our pursuing, but the broad strokes and the destination will ultimately be the same.
I see, thanks for answering me, I'd also like to say that I'm loving the game ^w^
<3
Now im interested more
In the lore? Yes.
In the ideas? Yes.
In the Nsfw? Yes.Cool game. I give it 5/5 Cheese wheels.
I LOVEEEE IT, KEEEP SLAYIIIINGG!!!
I just wanna know
Is there like
a list
for the names alexs' mom incorrectly calls you by
for each starting letter?
There's a 90% chance she will choose a name with the same first letter as your chosen name. There's a 10% chance she'll pick any random name instead. If the name generated matches your chosen name, it picks again - she'll never get your name right. This is also the same list of names that choosing a random name on the name selection screen uses.
Oh
my
GOD
That is CLEVER.
You wrote Ezra twice, just mentioning in case that leads to an error
I did too. The last thing the world needs right now is more Ezra! I'll replace one of them in the next update.
(I made it worse. It's now Elon. My condolences to all Beth now calls Elon.)
Make a "Musk" name
I dare you
do i get bad ending or some negative change for sleeping with kyrex in tai's route, cause i chose that option but i haven't seen any changes
No just some dialogue differences here and there.
Whens the next update I want to know who the hell was that in this route, when?WHEN!!?
This is coming in the next patreon update. No release date as yet but it's coming along nicely.
Not sure if this is a bug, But...
Whenever the text box appears in a new zone, The tiger dude keeps appearing.(I dont remember his name, and frankly, i dont care(Technicly on his route, but we broke up))
Not sure if its a bug or not, but just wanted to make sure
Are you running the latest version? I could have sworn we fixed that issue a while back.
The newest version just got the axel/dom routes, right? 0.51 is the version im playing on
Btw, Good game. I rate it 5/5 Cs' for Cool game
That's odd. We definitely fixed that issue, or better said, we worked around it - it was an issue in RenPy to begin with. If you can make a save file where it's happening and send that to us via our Discord, I'll look into why it's started happening again

Will there ever be an option to pursue Eric? It would be cool to get more rat cuteness.
Xevvy might make a "Tales of Woodcrest" or whatever its called about that, But nothing else I guess. Also, Eric just wants to fuck near the time you meet him, So you most likely wont get to date him sadly.
I wonder if the main character will get sad at not having a chance to get some vitamin R ;) from Eric.
But Eric if there was a route for Eric he could develope a friendship that becomes friends with benefits. Then grow to want it to be something more.
I agree. I would be up for that!
I read some of the previous posts, and find the criticisms odd. I read Diego's route first, then Tai's. What impressed me was how much your creativity as a storyteller had improved. Tai's route has much more content cleverly woven through it, with other characters and their sub-stories adding so much interest.

Ok thank you
You mean u open the app and it closes instantly when it starts ? If so it might be ur phone.
I know this is most likely an art oversight but Tai playing a right handed guitar left handed is going to scratch the hell out of the finish.
Other than that the quality of the recent updates have been phenomenal
I'd like to start by saying that I enjoy the game so far, and I'm looking forward to the Axel/Dom route.

I don't think I've said this before, but I've taken a liking to our rather quiet ursine companion, Logan. He reminds me of a friend back in my hometown...

I really, really love this game! It's super fun, has great story, and just grabs you by the throat and makes you play more (lol). Love the character designs and artwork as well! Everything looks beautiful.
Also, for having 4k assets? This runs quite well on my rather old laptop.
I do have one question, though. Do you have any plans for any kind of Eric route?
He won't have a main route in the story, but he'll be the focus of multiple tales so there'll be plenty of content for him at a later date
When playing in your browser, where are the saves/data stored on the computer?
Save files are stored as cookies by your browser, so wherever your browser of choice keeps those. You can take a copy of them using the menu in the top left and selecting "Export saves"
Awesome, thanks for the reply, Xevvy! :3
For some reason, I just can't bring myself to take Axel from Dom.
Who's to say you will?
Clever foreshadowing.

Is tai's route done or not? just wondering since it ends with a "to be continued"
There is a development log about this that came out eleven days ago 😉
You know I will always love all the romanceable characters the most... especially Tai but Eric is so hilarious I kind off wish he had a route.
We've got several tales planned for Eric, so don't worry, his time will come!

When we started out, CurryCatz wasn't confident in his ability to render backgrounds and to expedite development, we simply utilized original photos or stock images to fill in the gaps. As it would happen, CurryCatz was actually quite good with backgrounds! These days, we rarely if ever use stock photos, preferring instead to draw original artwork, only using them where absolutely necessary to reduce his workload. Thinking back, the last time we used a stock photo I think was the alleyway on Tai Day 17, which was more than a year ago now! By the time we release 1.0, we're aiming to have original artwork for every background and no stock images anywhere.
My first time playing... I Made the horrid mistake of calling myself Dominic. Now I have to reset so I don't get mixed up, but I guess I'm glad he showed up really early 😅
We actually disallow naming yourself as the same as the characters, but I guess "Dom” is there and Dominic isn't. I'll add that for the next update.
Good lord, as someone who's not fluent in english, Roo's dialogues are a pain to read (in a funny way)
I just like, dont understand shit hes sayin 💀 (tho, thats probably a normal thing i think)
Don't worry, unless you're Australian or a Kiwi, even native English speakers see little more than complete gibberish! That's part of the charm!
So question I thought Diego's after Story was going to happen after you finished Taj's r o u t e I know plans can change I'm just wondering what's going on with that also I am really excited to see what you have planned for d o m / axles route mostly going to try to go for d o m but Diego is still my head Cannon route I absolutely love him
In the recent devlog, Xevvy said that Diego's story "will appear when the time is right." Could be before Tai's route wraps up, could be a while after. It's just down to whenever he gets it done and feels like releasing it.
So is tai's route done?
No, not yet. There's up to date information in the FAQ about what we're working on and where we're up to.
Hi, is it possible to buy the game for having access to all the updates without paying each month?
Not at this stage, Sileo is intended to be a free release so everything does release here on Itch free of charge, we just roll out new content one update ahead on Patreon to help cover development expenses and such. We are intending to make a release on Steam at some stage and we're toying with the idea of making the Patreon content available there for a one time purchase, but it's hard to say when that'll be - we're already juggling 8 different build releases with each update and that's already something of a headache
I see, thank you for answering me and have a nice day/evening .
Is there a way to add a "Skip to Next Choice" button? The skipping function in Sileo seems to take a lot longer than most other Renpy games I've played, so it'd be nice to just jump forward.
The skip function runs as fast as your system can handle, but as we're using 4k assets this can be a little slow on some machines. A skip to next choice option would be pointless for the most part as routes such as Tai's have no real choices at all, you'd just end up skipping to the credits! We do plan to include a chapter selection option at some stage, but this isn't an immediate priority
Ah, well thanks for the response.
Wait, how many characters are datable? Currently playing the introduction and am really curious
2 at this stage, however the Patreon update released just a few minutes ago bumped that number up to three!
I love this VN, but I only have one critique... the MC is TOO NICE for me. I wish there were more options to be angry at people when they wrong you. Or at the very least that the MC would stop back tracking every time he gets angry. *spoiler alert* I just got to the part of Tobias telling me to fuck off and I definitely would've liked the option to tell him to fuck off right back since I didnt do anything wrong. DEFINITELY at the very least would not apologize to someone that told me to go fuck myself when I didn't do anything wrong. Tobias is a bit of a dick so far and Id like to make up with him, but I also wouldve let him know that he was way out of line in that moment to speak to me and ESPECIALLY to Diego like that since Diego didnt do shit except stand there. Not the only example just the one that made me come comment. Even when the MC is justifiably angry at certain points, he later invalidates his feelings and gaslights himself into thinking he over reacted and shouldn't have felt the way he felt in the first place. You don't have to stay angry and you can forgive, but for the love of God don't act like you're being ridiculous and shouldn't have even been angry in the first place! Again I LOVE this VN it's just an aspect of the MC that drives me crazy.
I just got gaslit by Adrians self-gaslighting....
DAMN..
I just want to let you know that this VN is clever and catchy from the very beginning. I really like the different decisions one can take and that actually it does affect the characters' routes. The story unfolds at its own pace and it always comes with new surprises along the way. It's my new reading addiction 😉✌️ Infinite thanks to the developers 😎👍
<3
is there somewhere to see a list of the characters? theres no wiki or anything 😔
What happened to tai's route?
It suddenly stopped updating for an intro remake to replace it and now I heard they are starting to work on Axel and Dom's route even though tai's isn't done yet.
We've covered this in the FAQ and in update notes. Long story short we've been taking a break from that route to work on various other things to help ensure that the ending of that route will be up to standard and not a product of burnout. We're hoping at this stage to release the next chapter of that route in the 0.51 update (tbc).
Will Kyrex get a route? I feel like it' is really missed potential not having it with how things can get resolved from another angle. Especially with what happens after you accept the invitation being a massive overreaction on Diego's part.
He won't have his own route, but he features heavily in several tales which will develop his character a lot.
is there a route for eric???
Same answer as above. Eric is secretly bestboi but the furry community are rat racists. I for one love my little horny ratboi and will see to it he receives some great content of his own via tales.
what will the new update be about? hoping its one for dom and eric
when ubdate ?
Hopefully not too long now. No definite ETA, but I'll toss myself off a damn cliff if it ain't soon...
All my data disappeared :(
you got a homophobic virus 😂
i fuckin guess lol
