Ari did get you sick?your are not answering as usual.
-SPOILER-
Hi Ari ! I just finished the latest update on Patreon, and I have to say that even though I really enjoyed the story. And that the whole "paradise" scene was really sublime. There are still negative points (for me) to this ending.
For example...
-Did the story really needed a "boss fight" to be concluded?
-Mar personal story arc with his family who ultimately doesn't lead to anything and that in addition the fact that he lied to Angel about calling his parents is never mentioned again and it has no consequences.
-Currently the choice system is useless since if I select all the wrong answers, the game forces me to redo the previous choices and that's it. It would be cool to have several endings. For example a bad ending where Mar definitively loses Angel's love and trust because we made the wrong decisions. Another where they manage to reconcile. And a last one with Damian included in their relationship with a new question, when they are in the bedrooms, whe can have the choice between telling him that we must definitively end our "relationship" or telling him that we also have feelings for him.
-Why is there a time skip that ends on the ending image with Mar Angel and Damian? I mean so much must have been happened for all 3 of them to end up together so why end like that? Yes there will be bonus chapters, but there could have at least been an additional chapter "aftermath" before the ending screen to tell everything that happened after the confrontation. Because even if I know that you put a lot of effort into this chapter, there is always this feeling that there is something missing for the story to really be concluded..
Even if personally I am a little disappointed with the end. I want to repeat that I really liked your story and I congratulate you for having managed to finish Heat source ^^
I really like xiao, looking forward to many slots about him. It’s hard not to seriously suspect that he is in the closet. Really grateful for Guardian's game, excited for the next part of the story and more new games.
I just finished the game and I really liked it lol, but I honestly expected more choices to be honest, many directions could change if they had to choose like Damian's case, but it's okay for now I'm honestly curious how this will unfold, if there will be an outcome as it progresses because of this episode 28, which one should I choose? And if I can simply run away and stay with none, after all a lot of the mess was made by me haha
Ahhh 😅 I think it's a little bit too early to post this here bro 👉👈
Don't you wanna talk about this in the discord server, patrons' channel? 😅😅😅😅😅
Oh yea sorry, i just thought more comments on the itch page then more comments for people to see and realize how good the game is. My bad
Im not being rude or anything and i loved reading this
But HOLY SHIT. During when Angel and MC have sex for the first time its honestly hilarious how you hear the sounds of a lovely lyre in the background while you have angel saying "You make a great sleeve"
Its just so comically out of place that i cant stop laughing at it
Now you're making me laugh at that line too 🤣
nice vn im in a depreesive rut and havent felt anything in a long long while this story actually made me smie for the fist time in too long so thx ari
I'm very moved to hear your words 🥰I wish you feel better💖
Hello! You can find the download buttons in yellow in this page : https://ari-guardian.itch.io/heat-source choose a file depending on your device (android, Windows, Mac or Linux) 😉

SPOILER
because I got confused what made Don go lumberjack-angry, that it made me subscribe to your Patreon 🤣
Hehe 🤭🥰thanks for your support bro! I haven't seen you!
Again, your pfp and name is so damn CUTE 🥰
SPOILER
Ari wtf was that?! It's freaking crazy! I didn't expect that
😅
SPOILER:
Dam man, don herman is crazy, i hope damian and mar can escape from him, it was just a head in a belly, and then he wanted already to kill his son
😖😅
Eres genial, Ari ✌🏻
uwuff!! gracias hermano! 🤩💖🥰🥰😁
I loved this new att, because I was finally able to use my translator lol now I can follow all the chapters :)
Yeiiiii 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I gotta say, the choice you made there was nerve-wracking for me because I only have one path that I really want to see it make through to the end.
Awww 🥹🥰💕🥰💕
WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHOOSE WISELY!?!?
NOTHING CHANGED!!
😭😭😭😭😭
Do the choices we make change any sort of outcome???
I'm so confused and sad and I just love Damien
I can tell you more of what the choices do on the spoilers channel on discord 🤭😈😅
Where is the discord? I want to know to, I tried a few different combinations and nothing changed. It seems kinda redundant to give us choices if they don't change anything .3.
Hello! They do change some thing by the end of the chapter 🤫 You can find the discord link on the "Socials & songs" section on the main menu 🙌
can’t waittt 🔥🔥
I hope the next update is soon ari 😇

🙂can't wait to see it !!!
🙏
Yeah!!
😋🤭💖🔥🔥🔥💦
故事很棒，代入感强，我开始期待接下来的发展了。中文版好像慢了一章。
你好！抱歉拖了这么久！我建议志愿翻译者等待另一个版本的出现，因为代码将会改变，如果一行代码被移动，他们就需要移动所有内容，这就是原因。这只是为了提高质量！感谢您的耐心！我很荣幸你喜欢这个故事！🥰🥰🔥🔥🥰
Thank you so such for a wonderful story and emersion! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I'm excited for it too 🤭
Another build worth of waiting 🫂🥰
Your words are incredibly satisfying bro! 🥰🥰🥰

This next one is big! Its scheduled by the end of October😅
Wow! That was... an update! :D
Wonderful work as always, Señor Ari!
🫡💖🔥💖🔥
Is the MC a bottom?
yes
this vn is so adorable and cute , im glad that boyahboyah recomend this vn love it already
Uwufff!! 💖🔥🥰😈
There's gonna be new chapter in this week 🥺🥺
Hello! The bimonthly schedule is gonna take longer this time cuz next chapter is BEEG! It should be finished during middle- last week of October. sorry in advance for the wait😅
I feel bad dropping this vn a few updates ago.. the recent content is top tier lol
Probably because I found angel kinda boring, but i still feel bad for him now..
Agreed, Angel can be kind of a nerd sometimes, but hey, he still got a lot to show in the next chapters🥰
Ari the new update is so juicy 🤭, I really really love how the plot is and Pandora is so bad luck 😭, and i really love how you did the animation and the stuck thing, i really super love your vn so much❤️
I think im obsessed 🙈😳🫢
I might be obsessed too 🤭🥰💖🔥💦💦
Thanks for making this. The NSFW is fun but the story is appreciably good. Looking forward to more.
What a gentleman 🥰♥️💖 of course there will be more🙌🔥🔥💦💦
THIS IS WILD!!. . . . anyways this might scar me for a while but it is too damn juicy (story AND otherwise) to leave be. . . I will stay tuned. Keep up the great work.
🥰🤘🙌🔥🔥🔥💦💖
I can't believe I just woke up at 4am to reread the last scene
you better start making longer updates from now on Ari, I've never been impatient about something like this before.
just wish if i can buy sub in patreon.
I happy this story brings you such interest. I guess this means it's a nice ride to jump on 🥰
Oh dear, this really took a turn.
Somehow I managed to miss 3 chapters without noticing, that's a little embarrassing... And damn Damian's father is a terrible person. Really hopping that his mother can escape just like his sister did.
Xiao really trying to blow this hotel into rubble, like executives do, so nothing new under the sun there. At least he saw one of his many mistakes (I know I'm really giving him all the hate, but damn I have no mercy for abusive bosses)
Doctors really see that shirt every day, do not be embarrassed to tell everything 😉.
And damn those dogs are horny, if there was not a family house I can imagine the thing that could happen there (I will make no apology for that mental image)
Also, spoilers ahead:

Damn Mar, really? Lying that much in just weeks of a relationship?! You better tell the truth, ALL of it. Do not hide one thing. You get point for saving Xiao but damn you better come clean.
Thanks for the update, see ya next time
(Fingers crossed to have a polyamory option)
Literally all of this!! I'll also join you in keeping our fingers crossed
the latest chapter made me hate the MC. Ari you gotta fix this! Anywayyy~ DRAMAAAAA~
ps: sorry i just hate cheaters ಠ_ಠ
Pps: y'all might misinterpret my statement above. what i meant is they gotta fix this hate that i am feeling towards the MC. *eherm* redemption arc *eherm*
peace yall
X2, as same as the previous chapter
ya i wanna bonk him in every part of his body lol
Ayoooo wtf was that, that was too short!! i finished it in half an hour i was waiting a whole two months for this, and after things just gotten exiting u hit me with (to be continued...). I can't bear another two months, I can't doit it's painful, I request access to the next chapter!!! PLSSSSSSS
I admit it, it's shorter than the average😳 but you know what? The next one is about double than the average 🤯
Also there was a super complex assortment of cgs and animations in this one. That counts too!🥺
I understand it was a lot of work and u did a great job, I was a bit emotional, idk what you're going through but you kept your promise by updating the game in time and every update is better than the other, I give my sincere apologies for being selfish and childish. Keep it up you and your bf
Yeah, it was short, but loaded! What a ride!!
Spoiler alert
Arii why would you do that!? That smile! God damn it ! Omg I'm speechless, thanks for the hard work Ari ❤️
Uwufff!! You're welcome 🫡💖😈🔥💦😘
