Amidst Hearts: One Amongst Five
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Current public version: 0.1.6b
Current PATREON version: 0.1.6b + snapshot_0a
Picture a cozy suburban home where each character has their own space. The family shares common areas, creating a wonderful sense of togetherness. "AH:OAF" delves into themes of love, support, and the evolving relationships within this unique family structure as they navigate the complexities of adulthood.
Imagine you've just turned 18 and have been kicked out of your home. Amidst the challenges of hunger and poverty, a resplendent creature emerges from the darkness and offers you a new life with her. The decision is solely yours, and it entails stepping into a completely new world, surrounded by a wonderful, soon-to-be harem.
This game is currently in its developement stage. I'm not a game dev by any stretch, but I aspire to become a skilled Ren'Py creator (if fate allows). I just wanted to try my hand at creating something in a format that's close to my heart: visual novels.
Take care, wherever you are in this world <3
[Special Thanks]

are you the artist? i dont think is ia
its obviously ai
Pretty sure the creator said it was a mix of both where they generated the base of the person using AI and fixed the main issues like the hands, eyes and other minor details by hand
So i’ve noticed (or it might just be me idk) that the MC’s genital keeps getting smaller and smaller every update. It was at least twice the size when we first saw it with Olivia. I personally liked the size more in the beginning. Could you somehow revert that issue for later updates? Some people like it massive. Like the low taper fade meme
It is getting smaller and smaller, it won't "shrink" anymore, I'm playing around with these kinds of details right now as there are a lot of split opinions especially on that topic. It is a bit too late now but I might be able in our next project to add a 'slider' for anyone to customize this.
I don't know yet if it will come back to its regular size, get smaller or stay like this..
Sorry for such a messy answer but yeah.. Thank you for sharing your concerns efnoo! ^^
Is there or will there be girldick options?
I can't speak on how many precise kinks there will be yet sadly.. but why not? (as an option only ofc)
Please add option to disable animations.
I don't know if I'm capable of such a thing rn but I'll keep you updated!
Thanks , but don't overwork yourself. I know that coding is harder than it might look.
Thank you for understanding it actually is harder than it looks ^^
请添加中文吗？
Hide text button on android?
I did not understant, what do you mean by text button??
The text box cover half the screen, I cant see characters well
If you go to the preferences tab you should see a Dialogue box opacity slider, you can turn it all the way down. Thank you for the feedback I'll get on it ASAP!
Even with it at minimum I can barely see, will it be possible to have next update a hide button? To hide the text box, like when you press H on the keyboard
I will make it happen!
they want a button that can hide the text box, in order to see the rest of the images :)
when is the next free version i cant wait for this update its gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
sooner than you think ;p
now
I was talking about the future one since this one came out 10 days ago but I guess it works^^
Is the art for this game hand-drawn, or AI? it looks like AI but the dimensions are just so perfect. If they are hand-drawn, I wish i could draw as good as you. I wish to be able to one day so i can create games like this.
What if they were both??? I use AI tools to get the general things going but details/hands/eyes and "intricate" positions have to be made by hand. I will make a 'course' for everyone who wants to create their games without having an art degree to get there while maintaining decent results.
Take care!
I really love the art style! Crazy that it is both though. The way you did this is just amazing. Please continue to make more amazing games like this one! Thank you, and also take care!
I am trying to do the same in my project. But i still not even close of your quality, haha. I wanted to hear some thoughs on my creations, but fear the AI hate aspect of it T-T
Btw. You are doing an amazing job!
Come join the discord, open minded people are there, feel free to express yourself and your art how you like!
Who knows, might be able to give a hand ;)
Respect
Nice game but really slow upduates and the last one is just one scene
Indeed, a lot has been going on, might as well read the latest devlog. Merry christmas!
Did you create animations for the characters while they are still? Idk if I'm dreaming but I remember from the last patch that during conversations the characters did not move at all, now they do, at least some of them. For example after the scene with Olivia the characters don't move anymore.
Amazing game though :D
It is a lot of back and fourth depending on the time I have left for animating.. Yep some old Sprites turn out to be animated in later updates and it's sort of a cycle. I'm experimenting and trying to find a good balance on how I can be most effective. This is so time consuming (I wish there was like 50 hours in a day xD). I'm learning a lot on how to go about game dev with this project.
Thank you! Amazing comment and player ^^
Amazing game.
One question tho, what ai model is used to generate those characters?
Thank you! ^^
Stable Diffusion > Autismmix > Lots of hand/manual adjustments!
Thanks. There is nothing better in game community than a dev that responds to each and every comment. Wishing you the best
There is nothing better in gaming community than players who are willing to take some of their own time to ask questions!
Wishing you the best also!
There isn't much to the game as of yet but the writing and the art are very cool. We will watch your career with great interest.
BTW, is Albedo voiced by an AI/TTS program ?
Thank you so much, I don't think you all are ready for what's in store, our lead writer is making tremendeous work so that we have a true narrative/story going!
Yep, and as mentioned in the latest devlog I will remove Albedo's voice just for conveniency. It is AI/TTS as we do not have voice actors for now.. I tried finding a middle ground.
Nice game.
Nice player! ^^
really cool game
even cooler player :)
Great game! Cant wait for the finished product someday :
Can't wait either tbh xD and thank you for the kind words <3
I dunno if it a bug but why is the linux download had the android icon
Fixed it, thank you for noticing me!
Nice little Update, hope you Guys dont have too much trouble sorting things out. Looking forward to the BIG UPDATE!!😄 Dont Rush your work, take your time its gonna be worth it for sure.
Thank you for those kind words, it does take time indeed and oh YES it will be worth it! ^^
great game
greater player
I love the content so far when's the new update for public??
Tomorrow! ehe^^
when is the new update??
Today for Patreons, it will be a small one because of everything that happened this month to keep the game alive
Why is the game soo shooorttt, whens the new update?
Because it's my first one and I started solo on it, now we are a team and have organized a new schedule with our Patrons!
Everything will be detailed in the next devlog coming with the release of the next update. FYI: One update at the end of each months.
Any AI?
Some Sprites in their early stage before getting manually hand fixed adn the voices are AI
Has the college update already happened
Nope more info about it on Discord!
How is version 0.1.6 going?
Going well thank you for asking!! ^^
So much better imo, I tried it earlier and while I loved the girls at that point the controls etc just seemed off but really impressed with the current version.
A fun little romp! I'll drop some cash after the next update/ Holidays to keep it in my sights.
no worries, you can start by joind the games Discord to have active news and interact with us!!
The game is very nice, but the storyline seems too sudden and quick with Olivia and Emi by now. Also, the storyline is wayyyyyyy to short for me to finish.
Anyway, bro nice job!
Thank you fot the feedback, we are currently going over it and making it more gullible and extensive!
lesbians?
girl on girl action is planned!
great i cant wait to see it more
It's animated right if animated ay download ???
Is this a parody game or are the characters original? and it's giving an error when checking to enter the discord group
Original for most and some will be a parody of already existing characters! I will update the links just to be sure thank you for mentioning the issue!
The game is really good, keep up the work
Glad you like it thank you!
ngl having a simple customization to your own character, like skin color, should be a great addition to the game. I know it would take long to recolor every scene and such, and the fact that visual novels don't usually have customization like that, but it would be cool.
I like the idea, makes it more personal especially for a game where you are the main character! no ETA on when this will be integrated but it surely will! Thank you for taking the time to share your idea!!!
hold on, his writing is THIS FIRE!!??
my writing lacks a lot but thank you! Talking about writing we have one hell of a good writer that joined the team! ;p
Any voiced intimate scenes?
Albedo's scene is voiced and I'm working on finding a stable workflow for making a lot more content voiced!
Can't wait for more, story's great, like the game so far, Takahashi and Albedo are best!
Thank you! Takahashi is hot though ehe
El juego tiene errores, todas las escenas no se muestran y solo se mantiene en la sala de principal
I need to fix this ASAP
having an issue on android where there's no models while doing anything. It goes to the living room view I think, and there are words, but no people. Even when out of the house.
I need to get hotfixes going, sorry that you had to experience that..
Too short
It will get better
es un gran juego y tiene potencial pero tambien deberian de meter mas idiomas
Dieses game ist so verbugt. Ich werde immer wieder und wieder ins Zimmer geportet
I will upload a hotfix!
This game shows great potential. excited to see where it goes from here
Thank you I'm trying my hardest!
