Ik I'm SUUUUPER late to the party, but WHOO THIS GAME IS FRIGGIN' AMAZING AF!!! Like wow! Loved everything about it, especially Sylios <3 Overall well done on this and can't wait for future projects :D Also would looooove to know about the events after the Secret Ending if that would be possible lol
Hi! There are technically 2 endings, with one being longer and more "canonical". If you're looking for a short game with only one ending that is still BL, I'd recommend my game Kill the Prince?! which also features inventory puzzles!
Hello! I've tried unpacking the Linux version and I'm getting an 'unexpected end of file' error... :(
Update: actually, the PC version supports both Linux and Windows! So, a separate download for Linux is not needed (and it's damaged anyway). And the PC version needs a Linux icon near it, not just a Windows icon, because it has Linux executable too (Dr._Frank_1.0.sh)
Remember playing this about two years ago. Am redownloading and replaying because I remember having hell of a blast XD All I remember is "ANIME BOY PP SIZE" and that's all XD
Played this with my friend and we both really enjoyed it! It was my friends first visual novel game and now she holds it as the standard for any game she plays
I've wanted to download this game for ages, but everytime I go to launch it, it has errors saying "python27.dll not found" and "sdl2.dll was not found". Do you know how I can fix this?
So try downloading the file called: Dr._Frank_Build_A_Boyfriend_1.0-pc.zip
That will be downloaded to your Downloads folder. (To find your Download folder, open up your File Explorer and go to This PC, then Downloads).
Find the Dr. Frank files in your download folder and right click and unzip the folders. When you open the new unzipped folder, you will click on the file called "Dr. Frank's Build - A - Boyfriend". It should have an icon of a pink pig.
That should work, but if you're still getting the same error, let me know!
I played this right after finding your 'Kill the Prince?!' game-- and god, I really loved every single moment of it! The humor, characterization, emotions from Frank and Sylios-- and also the teasing from Sylios was enough for me to instantly root for him in the beginning ;____; when he first showed up I was already hoping Frank could end up with him!
I loooooved the personalities of everyone and the dynamics ;___; Frank's so high energy and has so much character, it was a lot of fun to get to see things through his eyes! And Iggs is just one whole ass mood. And the monster boyfriend was absolutely hilarious-- I loved the customization option! And getting to play another one of your point-and-click games just makes me so so happy and inspires me a lot! I've been looking into point-and-click mechanics and getting the chance to play your games really leave me with a good feeling and so much motivation to keep going!
And this is totally becoming a longer comment, oops, but I loved seeing your initial character design process in the Extras-- as well as the narration/hints there and direct interaction with the player ;___; seeing them in both this and KTP really gave both games even more personality and another fun layer. But yes, I love that you included your character designs in the extras!! I loved all of Frank's expressions and just how he had so many sides to him, too! (And I will forever love Sylios, I am weak.) -- seeing your sketches and world building was super cool to look through and see how the characters and the world changed from the beginning too. And of course, reading more about the world building was great! And I'm glad you decided to make Frank learn a lesson through the end of this (/changing Sylios' motivation)-- because I absolutely want Frank to be happy. and also. love Sylios. cri. (and Iggs with staying with his boyfriend lmao)
The art is phenomenal, the music choices were perfect (I love the main menu music too! and the music that plays while exploring the house!), the UI is great (and such a good choice too! I was immediately impressed by the choice, too-- using a fence design!!!! bruh!!!! the small details make me so happy- and I had to take a solid mo to just be fully impressed about your design choice for the UI!!) Also showcasing extra personality/energy through the font size was a nice touch, too-- I really enjoyed it! And the backgrounds were gorgeous, the narration for the objects we can interact with was great-- and the whole point-and-click mechanic was seriously just so fitting for the game!
I've found this game years after it was made, but I seriously can't be more happy! I'm so grateful and glad you created this and shared this!!!! I'm so happy I found your page and your game! You're for sure an inspiration <33
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it and enjoyed seeing all the little extras at the end. I always like unlocking concept art and other behind-the-scenes things when I play a game, so I tried putting something like that into my own game. :D
I'm glad I changed Sylios' motivations as well, I think Dr. Frank had gone through enough for one game, haha.
Your comments really made my day. Thank you so much for checking out my games!! :D :D
That was... oddly touching?? I loved it to death! The premise was cute and silly, and the point-and-click element was refreshing and fun. Loved the art, especially the Dr. and Igg's character design! And the backgrounds... and all the humor was neat. Everything was neat tbh. Amazing game! Thank you!
I loved it! It's really cute and the mechanics worked really well, I didn't have any trouble. Would love to see more games by you! Or even a sequel, I love all your characters!
Oohh! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I do have some other games if you wanted to check them out! And I've been toying around with the idea of making a pseudo sequel that some of the charas would show up in (but not be the protags), but we'll see. :)
Hello! I actually played a demo of this game back at Bishounen Con, and I was really happy to play it's full release! Really cute and funny. One thing has been bothering me though. As I left the game idling on the room explore screens, a song started to play that I knew I had heard before... I went through all the artists on your music credit page but there was so much and I couldn't find the exact song. Please can you tell me the name / source of that song? I think it's the third or fourth in the loop, has a somewhat mechanical sound effect running throughout. I'm dying to find out... Dx
Aah, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my request! In the end it was the 4th song, I'm so happy to have found it! It may seem silly but it means a lot to me, thank you! I have a few of your other games and hope to play them when I have more time as well. ^ ^
Sorry if this is spam but itch.io has no way of sending PMs. :(
I'm from Soulsoft Electronic arts. ( https://soulsoftea.itch.io ) Sooo I'm thinking about hosting a Game Jam on itch.io. My idea is a bara game jam which I'll call "BARA JAM", and I'm trying to see how much interest there would be in such a jam, and if it would be worth hosting. Would this be something you'd be up to participate in or even co-host?
I'm thinking about having it in October and lasting 1 month.
I'm really trying to see if this is a viable jam that people would even want. I hope so! I'll obviously be submitting an entry as well. =) you can email me here soulsoftea@gmail.com
OOhh, I would be very interested in participating in this if you do decide to host it! :D (I don't really know anything about hosting jams though so I wouldn't be much help as a co-host or anything haha;;)
Hey Heiden, for cohosting don't feel pressured into it if you con't think it's for you. :)
Actually, I've been getting alot of replies from creators wanting to cohost so I think I may be fine in that department now. As for the jam, awesome, I'd love to see you participate! ^_^

This was so much fun and such a nice story! Dr Frank's smile must be protected!
(I also did the secret end but that will be in another video♥)

i played this game a few months ago and OMG i love it lol
Does this game have multiple endings? I am looking for single ending games tbh
Hi! There are technically 2 endings, with one being longer and more "canonical". If you're looking for a short game with only one ending that is still BL, I'd recommend my game Kill the Prince?! which also features inventory puzzles!
Played this game on the Steam version time ago. It's cute and funny :)

Oh, thank you for letting me know! I updated it to let players know the PC version can also be playable on Linux and took away the broken version.
Remember playing this about two years ago. Am redownloading and replaying because I remember having hell of a blast XD All I remember is "ANIME BOY PP SIZE" and that's all XD
Omg XDD I'm honored you remembered it!! Hope you enjoy replaying through it!
Played this with my friend and we both really enjoyed it! It was my friends first visual novel game and now she holds it as the standard for any game she plays
Awww, omg. I'm so glad to hear she liked it!! It's always great to hear more people being introduced to VNs. :D
I wish this was play in browser.
I've wanted to download this game for ages, but everytime I go to launch it, it has errors saying "python27.dll not found" and "sdl2.dll was not found". Do you know how I can fix this?
I've tried downloading the files, but I don't know where to place them,,,,
Sorry for the troubles!
Hi! What type of computer are you trying to play on? Mac, Windows, Linux?
Windows!
Okay!
So try downloading the file called: Dr._Frank_Build_A_Boyfriend_1.0-pc.zip
That will be downloaded to your Downloads folder. (To find your Download folder, open up your File Explorer and go to This PC, then Downloads).
Find the Dr. Frank files in your download folder and right click and unzip the folders. When you open the new unzipped folder, you will click on the file called "Dr. Frank's Build - A - Boyfriend". It should have an icon of a pink pig.
That should work, but if you're still getting the same error, let me know!
Thank you so much!

WHAT THE HECK
I loved exploring Dr. Frank's house, I love the map aspects so much. honestly this is one of my favourite games.
Also looking at the WIP stuff in the extras was great!! I loved seeing your process!!
That was... oddly touching?? I loved it to death! The premise was cute and silly, and the point-and-click element was refreshing and fun. Loved the art, especially the Dr. and Igg's character design!

I really want to learn what happened to dr frank and sylios ;-;
did you made the comic you were talking about at the extra part of your game?
if you did, where can I read it?
Hi! I haven't made it, and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it, unfortunately. Sorry about that!
oh no problem! you don't have to make if you don't want to
I love this game :'o its super cute and relatable and I'm dying to cosplay Dr Frank :')
Ohh so glad to hear you enjoyed it!! :D :D

Hi! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
The 3rd song is called Dark Garden (https://dova-s.jp/bgm/play3727.html), while the 4th song is Pumpkin's house (https://dova-s.jp/bgm/play3678.html). Hopefully one of those is it!
Aah, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my request! In the end it was the 4th song, I'm so happy to have found it! It may seem silly but it means a lot to me, thank you! I have a few of your other games and hope to play them when I have more time as well. ^ ^
