I'm actually obsessed with this game, it's so good even in its more early stages!! I'm 100% waiting for the day it comes out, and the second that day arrives I'll be there (trying to romance holly-)
Hi, thanks for reaching out! The project is definitely not abandoned.
Midnights route is 100% written and edited, and most of the art is done as well. We're just coding that one now. Striker's route is about 3/4 of the way written as well.
I've been doing most of the updates on Twitter (@legendexgames or @brforyourheart) but I can post a devlog this weekend with updated screenshots and a timeline!
thanks for the quick response, then I'm definitely gonna check it out, I was just worried since last update was Jul04 2023. also can you add one more female character? I know it's a lot to ask from someone who didn't even try the game but from my op it'll be fun
I played the demo a few days ago and loved it! I literally can't get over my excitement and am super psyched for the full release. Midnight and Samurai were my two favorite li options from what I saw and I hope they stick around.
Thanks so much for leaving a comment and letting us know! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience playing and keep your eyes peeled for new information on the final release!
Wow just wow I really love this, I really love the characters design, and the voice acting is so gooood, I really enjoyed the demo, Im really excited for the official release of this, good luck to you guys, really love it thank yo
The only love interest(s) locked by a gender wall are Parker/Fnoob because they share the same character sprites as the protagonist, so essentially, we wanted the player to avoid dating "themselves"
By default/route wise you can only be duo partners with TwinTails and either Parker/FNoob depending on who you pick as your MC. If you'd like to romance Striker, Holly, or Midnight you'll need to go solo for their storyline to begin but this is regardless of what gender you choose at the start.
I really like the characters so far-- although as you may tell, not a big fan of tsundere. I loved this concept/parody, as it's really unique. I hope that there will be more interactivity or perhaps QTE in future iterations of this game. Wishing you the best of luck on the rest of your campaign; thank you for letting me know about it!
Absolutely thrilled to have been tagged on Twitter to be made aware of this game!
So far this is certainly shaping up to be a cracking VN, with some super characters (and relationship-building), great soundtrack and wonderful background art.
When it comes to those amazing characters, I don't wanna throw around favourites because they're all so good... ah, who am I kidding, Midnight is clearly the best.
I'm super excited to see what other plans there are for the full version of this game, and I'm all the way behind the current Kickstarter campaign. Give the demo a try for yourselves and see what you think! =)
Hello! I just wanted to leave some thoughts. To start though, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your demo and hope your game gets funded on the kickstarter.
Now, are just some ramblings over my thoughts after finishing what part of the narrative was available. I'm leaving these here to see how wrong I am after seeing the entire thing. ;)
I'm assuming the MC that we choose doesn't have a default appearance besides with what we see with their generic avatar (meaning we can kind of shape their appearance outside the game on our own). If so, I'll feel a little better romancing multiple characters because I can insert a different one depending on the playthrough, it's nothing against you guys if this isn't so, I'm just weird like this and I'll still buy the final game regardless because I'm sure curious where this story is going. 😅
I'm going to guess Midnight is going to be my favorite route, or possibly Parker because I'm putty for characters who are kind. I was going to guess that Parker was Striker's ex-partner, but the more I thought about it I don't think that stacks up in the long run of narrative arc (unless he's a really big troll - and if so, you got me parker, you really got me). Then my thought's turned over to the F!Noob, then that might seem like a more likely outcome with her, where she had pretended to be a guy because it's easier to accept that you got your ass kicked by another dude then some random girl especially in an online competitive setting - or maybe Rex was HollyDay all long (edit: after finishing Midnight's route, I don't think Holly could possibly be Rex). I don't know, my mind is spinning this thing a lot of different ways. I'm assuming Midnight is connected to this game on a deeper level than any of the characters realize, like he's part of the Dev team or some kind of field agent to make sure things don't get too out of hand on the field, which would really be catastrophic if you think about what he has to loose if you're on his route. Also, I'm sure curious out Tail's sister, I'm assuming from the tone of the narrative that she's either dead or has some kind of condition where she's not likely to recover from (i.e. cancer) and this probably going be her last match unless you're on her route. I don't know enough about about Striker or Holly to get a feel for where their stories might be going.
Thanks for the interesting VN!! Can't wait to see what your team does in the future. <3
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I'm enjoying reading all the comments, but you'll have to wait for the full version to see how it all turns out ;)
Well when I first look at it I think it's a nice visual novel, but after I played it for awhile I must say that I was wrong. It's a very good visual novel! I love all the characters! How Twintails look and how Midnight act is just *chef kiss*. The voice acting was also on point, I love Midnight laugh and the main character awkward noise. Can't wait to check out more.
Also do you know that shotgun are very effective in close range?
Finally finished playing the demo. The game was very interesting and I can't wait for the full release. I'm really sorry that I can't play it to the fullest due to my sudden microphone circumstances right now.
This game is amazing! UwU. Question tho. (1.) Free upon full game release? (2.) R u going to have full or partial voice acting? Also UwU's and OwO's 2 ur game!
Thank you for playing and leaving a comment! The game will be a commercial release and will have partial voice acting. We will be launching a kickstarter campaign at the end of august, so please keep a look out for that and a new updated extended demo (60k words and new features!) Thank you again!
Quick question-by 3 duo partner options, is that including the protaganist...s....? So TwinTails, Parker, and New Girl? Or is there someone else I keep missing?
Yep, that would be correct. In the upcoming extended demo you can pair up with Midnight as well and in the full game though Striker and Holly are locked as partners, they can still be romanced.
I played through the demo a number of times and I really like what y'all made here! Although the protagonists' ignorance on games had me dying of second hand embarrassment. They had the time to look up forum threads on Samurai, but not to watch a youtube video on how the game worked...? Man, they're in over their heads. It's a bit strange reading from their POV-they make note of things I don't even notice anymore. It's weird enough for me I keep attempting to make explanations for it (like the MC is an army vet) , but honestly this probably really is how games seem to complete outsiders. It's fascinating and disorienting at the same time.
I'm not too into the streamer scene but some of these characters are familiar lol. Makes me feel a little weird as I'm playing, though I think that might be necessary to get your commentary on the online gaming community across. Sure, everyone was pretty nice in the "prologue" but you can see the dirty cracks with forcing TwinTails to be MC's partner and New Girl's extremely aggressive attitude.
Ah, that was another wonderful aspect to this game. I love it when the unpicked protagonist is a character unto themselves. The difference between New Girl and Parker was so extreme, although as a girl, I understand why. Still threw me pretty hard when I played as dude!MC though. I very much was expecting just a generic, fumbling noob with paranoia like back when I picked lady!MC, so it was a great surprise.
All the characters were endearing, but I am partial to Midnight. Just a decent dude, ya know? Parker also seemed sweet. Not gonna win the royale, but sweet. Wish we coulda seen more of Striker and Holly, but given the set-up it makes sense. TwinTails story with her sister and Striker intrigues me. Overall I'm hoping for some good drama to play out between members of the cast. After all, isn't that what streamers are famous for, only sometimes second to games? :P
Really looking forward to the updated demo and full game release. Keep it up!

The final game is going to be free or we need to pay?? also i keep looking forward for more updates<33
I am wondering that also!
Hello! BRFYH will be a commercial release. We have our newest updates listed here: https://legendex-games.itch.io/battle-royale-for-your-heart/devlog/555208/july-2...
Any plans for an android version?
We're working towards a PC release, but will probably expand to Android and consoles after the initial release!
I played the demo a few days ago and loved it! I literally can't get over my excitement and am super psyched for the full release. Midnight and Samurai were my two favorite li options from what I saw and I hope they stick around.

please don’t lock the love interests behind a gender wall….
The only love interest(s) locked by a gender wall are Parker/Fnoob because they share the same character sprites as the protagonist, so essentially, we wanted the player to avoid dating "themselves"

On episode 2 now! Meeting the new newbie, which I assume will be our partner for the game? Also what do Twintails mean by danger???
Thanks for playing!
Amazing game! Really enjoyed the demo! :)

The art, voice-acting, and GUI are fantastic! I'm definitely down to see the complete game now.
