Okay bit of a niche thingy here but there's a few songs in this that get used in a Minecraft music changing mod and hearing it not in Minecraft is messing with me 😭
Cool story though, I'm excited to see where this could go.
I don't know what I was expecting when I downloaded Lust Shards; I'm usually not a huge fan of visual novels -- or dating sims, or even romance novels. But reading it turned out to be very enjoyable, more so than any other VN I've seen. As I went through everything in the last tenday, I was especially impressed by your progress in art, writing, and story-telling, that each new route became evidently better in every regard. The artwork and character-writing in the latest route are simply beautiful -- not to mention they are also adequately hornier, quite to my taste. What I really want to say is, thank you for this fantastic story, keep them coming!
If I may make some suggestions:
1. Some actual actions with the main love interests in chapter 2, please? I just hope it wouldn't take a decade for us to see what's under Tate's jockstraps.
2. I think a new cover art may get you some new traffic; the current one really doesn't reflect the state of your art. It's a main reason I saw this game recommended a few times but didn't consider trying until now.
omg i remember finishing all the routes and finding Mind of Fur's humor very funny. that was a while ago.
i was pleasantly reminded that MoF is still funny as hell cuz tell me why this mf replied 3 days ago to a comment that mentioned a glitch with 'there are no glitches in Lust Shards' and an attached pic of Joo Dee 😭😭
I won't be asking anything like "UpDaTe WhEn???", I just literally wanna know, like, are there any problems with developing or in your personal life, MoF?
Cause this game is a little bit too splendid for me not to worry about it, about you, your wellbeing and all :D
Does anyone know how to get this cg in Dallans’s nsfw gallery? Its the last one I need to completely fill out the gallery and I feel like I’ve tried every option but still haven’t gotten it 😭
God to start off, I genuinely love this VN and its characters. It’s hard to say who’s my favorite, as everyone has a story to tell and secrets to share. Lust Shards, even with so many NSFW scenes, doesn’t fall behind in its storytelling and fleshing out its characters.
Spoilers regarding the 4th path
I’ve very much already read all the paths you can take in Lust Shards 1.6, so I may have lied with having a hard time picking my favorites, but for now I’ll talk about the 4th path, which includes Therium’s, Alvy’s, and in the future, Scribble’s routes.
I love Scribbles, but it’s a bit cruel how Therium’s and Alvy’s routes are used to set up for him. I can very much see why a lot of people were upset after Alvy’s route.
I am curious (along with wishful thinking) if you’re going to maybe have routes to continue the two. From the looks of it, many people would love to have another chance with Alvy, while I may or may not like to see more of Therium. It would be cool to see if repeating a route even after a time loop would change something, but then again this is wishful thinking.
It is honestly a great visual novel, and I would love to see more of it in the future.
iirc the creator said there wont be a dedicated route for alvy after this (unfortunate ik we all love him so much) but there will be more content for him as a side piece likely focusing on the nsfw stuff i foresee it
Ok honestly going into this i was expecting some sex craved slop vn but i was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this SO much, Its like if someone turned "Random Bullshit go" into a vn and its honestly amazing, I found it to be way more funny than i had anticipated and im 100% excited to see if there will be a chapter two or not. The story itsself regarding scribbles is a little slow but im fine with that, i love the silly slice of life stuff much more than do whatever omnimous horrors await. 10/10
Not even done yet and OMG this is so well made! The writing, art, humor, effort, and thought put into this is vast, already looking forward to a chapter two (Also quick question and spoilers!!! I keep trying to give THE CAT a name and he keeps calling them stupid am I doing something wrong?? EDIT: YOU PRANKSTER!)
I don't usually comment on stuff I download and consume on itch but I've been following this visual novel since it came out and I kinda put it off to the side for a year or two. Coming back to it just..wow. Its so incredibly good and the story is something I absolutely adore. Last time I played it I swear it was a joke but after reading through Alfy's route and getting to see a more serious side made me fall ever so in love with it. MoF, dunno if you'd read this, but you did a fantastic job so far regarding world building and making me really anticipate the next release. I wish I was here when Chapter 1 was still being developed! I was so very wrong for putting it off for such a long time. Do not continue reading unless you want to hear some critique and final notes ^^
Now away from the praise and on to some more minor outlying things that I find myself coming back to. (This is my opinion and I will never tell you how to write your own story). I always thought that all the story elements, especially with Tate's route, feels very fast and rudimentary. I like the fact that we see a lot of action in Chapter 1 but so much stuff happens and its a lot to try and understand from a perspective of longevity. Though making the characters end in romance at the end is nice and feels rewarding, it ultimately makes me wonder how the rest of the story is gonna go. I feel like spacing out the characters and forcing you to get to know them more should be encouraged instead of just throwing in a romance after 3 days of knowing people. Its just a slight peeve of mine when it isn't established that you know each other first and then suddenly you fall in love so fast. I think that giving them more things to do and more ways to explore their characters before throwing in the romance would be very nice and give the reader more of a connection.
Now by no means do I say that this is a bad novel! If I were to give it a rating, an 8 out of 10 would be it, given I have personal gripes. I truly love how its shaping up and I cant help but smile even while typing this and getting excited for the next release. I truly recommend anyone new check it out and experience it for yourself if you are just looking through comments and stumble upon this one. I will not be leaving this for another year and will actively follow and support whatever you do! Maybe I'll give that patreon a try haha. But seriously, this is phenomenal and if I find myself spending the entire day going through this over and over looking for additional secrets then you truly have something wonderful here. Thank you for making this novel! Love it!
(pls don't ever stop until its fully done i need this)
i'm wondering wouldn't it be funny to have the headmaster as another dating route tooo where the headmaster dominate the protagonist into relationship with him?
Man, I'm honestly so glad Alvy's sub-route is over now, I enjoyed it and him as a character but the fans of Alvy specifically became kinda out of control by the end. Too many VN get these weird route wars in the fanbases over who the best boy is or who should get a full route added. Hope things chill out in the future for MOF.
I was thinking more like scribbles suspected his abilities would be useful and so invited him? If that ability is tied to his unique magic ofc, seems highly plausible.
Haaiii i was bored amd tried to draw smth when i dont feel like it and damn... i tried to do a side profile or smth. Idk wut it is called and it did not look good... and since i know it wouldnt.. i did not try to make it better. I tried my best. M'kay ill try to learn side profile but imma get a shut eye for now, g'night!
I know I am very late but I have been trying to get Dallan's ending when Bean and Jerry don't interrupt them I have two questions is there a good ending if so what should I do to get the good ending I have been trying for 3 weeks so far and I only have been getting the bad ending and the natural ending
Damn I get it! The ending was Sad but some of yall overeating! I get that its sad to see a favorable character go out like this but now bitches acting brand new to furry VN. Like as if everything will be Peaches and Cream every second. But MindOfFur, you did your big one on this update. It was great!
Broski was so bored in the gem that he decided to switch sides, after all living for 1 thousand years by just nothing and just roaming around peoples dream.
wow. BLOWN AWAY. absolutely amazing storyline, actually good! pretty rare to find something this high-quality. kudos, will be donating (p.s., NEED MORE of tate! best character)
I noticed Scribbles route (as unfinished as it is, since only the Therium and Alfy portions are complete) raises some global flags when you complete specific segments. Like, even if you start from the beginning, if Therium's segment has been finished at any point in the past, Alfy's segment is unlocked. Same with Alfy's segment and the (currently inaccessible, but the option is there) Scribbles segment. I don't know if it's because of the route being unfinished and that'll disappear as soon as chapter 1 of Scribbles is done, but I'm already imagining what would happen if that were allowed to progress in that direction... Maybe future chapters of Scribbles can raise flags that are checked in earlier chapters? Feels like a possibility.
This novel is simply amazing to me. I just got hooked on from the prologue and finished all the routes. I especialy really liked the Tate's and Alvy's routes and I'm not sure I will find a similar novel to this. I can't wait for more content.
I hope you’re not getting exhausted from reading all the negative comments about Alvy. I was really bummed to see his story end that way, but I also understood. I guess I was not really that affected because I knew it was never truly Alvy’s route; it was Scribbles’. Idk, the last time I was into a book series, the author stopped updating it because everyone was so angry that he killed off a character. I would hate to see that happend to this book
Yesss I've been thinking the same thing. I was also bummed out, but I thought we all knew that we weren't going to have a full Alvy route. I also felt bad for MOF after seeing all the comments.
Also, we have no idea if that’s the last we’ll see of Alvy. Scribbles’ route isn’t even finished yet, so we don’t know if MOF is going to bring him back or not.

Dear Mind of Fur,

omg i remember finishing all the routes and finding Mind of Fur's humor very funny. that was a while ago.
i was pleasantly reminded that MoF is still funny as hell cuz tell me why this mf replied 3 days ago to a comment that mentioned a glitch with 'there are no glitches in Lust Shards' and an attached pic of Joo Dee 😭😭
… there are no glitches in lust shards…
I won't be asking anything like "UpDaTe WhEn???", I just literally wanna know, like, are there any problems with developing or in your personal life, MoF?
Cause this game is a little bit too splendid for me not to worry about it, about you, your wellbeing and all :D
I hope everything's fine with you...
I think is just difficult because is a huge update (Scribble's route finally) so he/she/they(idk, sorry) need more time.
Also, if I'm not mistaked, they were with the school things and that (sorry for the bad english and my poor word's selection)
perhaps, it just would be too depressing id this VN suddenly stopped updating, I'm in love with it.
if your concerned about a game possibly being abandoned, check the devs social media's. it's how I usually decide if a game has been abandoned or not.
i want to check out all the soundtrack so bad do you have like a full playlist for all ost?
Does anyone know how to get this cg in Dallans’s nsfw gallery? Its the last one I need to completely fill out the gallery and I feel like I’ve tried every option but still haven’t gotten it 😭
That is the sex scene with Chelsey without the Slime… That’s it bud.
I already got that one as well as every variation of the sex-scene with chelsea and the one of aiden and tate though?
Then I think it’s a glitch bud
there are no glitches in Lust Shards
LMFAO
Where might one find the music from this VN?
Sharing a name with one of the side characters was certainly an experience, only very confusing at times. xD
God to start off, I genuinely love this VN and its characters. It’s hard to say who’s my favorite, as everyone has a story to tell and secrets to share. Lust Shards, even with so many NSFW scenes, doesn’t fall behind in its storytelling and fleshing out its characters.

MindOfFur-u sama, I fuarking kneeru...
Prisu, newu uppudateru...
Is this a new update?
Thinking about adding a route with the Headmaster aka daddy
I NEED the name of the song which Aiden plays under the tree! I beg you🙏😭
I don´t find the name, but here someone in youtube posted the song
Thank you! A LOT!
Spoiler
Please tell me there will be more stuff in alvy route it can't end like that...
About that...
iirc the creator said there wont be a dedicated route for alvy after this (unfortunate ik we all love him so much) but there will be more content for him as a side piece likely focusing on the nsfw stuff i foresee it
Ok honestly going into this i was expecting some sex craved slop vn but i was pleasantly surprised.

is this dead no update in a while
Nah its not, Check their socials
It´s not. But with each update MOF make greater things, and greater things need too much time. So, we had to wait
Why is it not okay, may I ask? I suppose I'm missing a lot by not checking the creator's socials...
What do you mean with that? I think you misunderstand the chat- otherwise, please specific what is "not okay"
yup, it seemed a mistook the topic, nvm.
I'm guessing he's working at the aiden route entire chapter rewrite and the scribbles route at the same time
Amazing work. I need more Alvy, so much more, I hate that hes a side character, he is just awesome. His route was very visceral and very amazing.
update?
I wish :<
Scribbles' route before gta 6 let's go
Allegedly
Perchance
was fake
link didnt work
Not even done yet and OMG this is so well made! The writing, art, humor, effort, and thought put into this is vast, already looking forward to a chapter two

(pls don't ever stop until its fully done i need this)
how do i start playing part two do i have to download somthing
It's not out yet.
a quick question, are you planing to work further in tate’s route?
i'm wondering wouldn't it be funny to have the headmaster as another dating route tooo where the headmaster dominate the protagonist into relationship with him?
I really hope we see more of Sam (and the spa) in other routes , that's probably my favourite scene in the game
is the soundtrack on anything to listen to? I really enjoy the background music and would love to listen to it
Check on YouTube Music for playlists, that's probably your best bet.
Man, I'm honestly so glad Alvy's sub-route is over now, I enjoyed it and him as a character but the fans of Alvy specifically became kinda out of control by the end. Too many VN get these weird route wars in the fanbases over who the best boy is or who should get a full route added. Hope things chill out in the future for MOF.
spoilers
So the ultimate reason protagonist was chosen is his ability to mend Scribbles' shattering gem?
He wasn't chosen, he was never part of the plan.
I was thinking more like scribbles suspected his abilities would be useful and so invited him? If that ability is tied to his unique magic ofc, seems highly plausible.
oh? lore slipping?! we appriciated that <3
it's in the game ^^"
I'm a dumdum😢 I can't take hint (Or I actually just thought too much)
Nice work!
I know I am very late but I have been trying to get Dallan's ending when Bean and Jerry don't interrupt them I have two questions is there a good ending if so what should I do to get the good ending I have been trying for 3 weeks so far and I only have been getting the bad ending and the natural ending
Bean and his friend will interrupted them no matter what, because that the plot.
hmm ok, do you know how to get these three?
choose before Chelsie inviting you to add the Nightfallen up, then you can unlock them*SPOILERS*
All I have to say after the Alvy route is...:
Damn I get it! The ending was Sad but some of yall overeating! I get that its sad to see a favorable character go out like this but now bitches acting brand new to furry VN. Like as if everything will be Peaches and Cream every second. But MindOfFur, you did your big one on this update. It was great!
Sybau! </3
type shi
Probably a spoiler... Yeah so I'm just going to do this any way...
(Hey finally writing a comment without being sleep deprived!)
Add a squish sound effect when the stabs happen and it becomes very funny. Or I got a twisted sense of humor.
I'm thinking about that and it sounds out right horrendously funny! 'M giggling a little in my own head!
I have a strong feeling that Alvy's 'route' won't go to waste, if you know what I mean. Call it a gut instinct.
On an unrelated notes, I'm really curious about the Nightfallen that Cody can summon.
You're so peak for adding that reference from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Is Scribble evil?
Broski was so bored in the gem that he decided to switch sides, after all living for 1 thousand years by just nothing and just roaming around peoples dream.
Find the worst route for tate for some more info on scribbles...
wow. BLOWN AWAY. absolutely amazing storyline, actually good! pretty rare to find something this high-quality. kudos, will be donating (p.s., NEED MORE of tate! best character)
agreed we need more of tates route
