Glory Hounds
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
(Glory Hounds contains themes of an adult nature - you must be 18 or older to play)
Glory Hounds is a lighthearted action/romance visual novel set in Schippersburg, the futuristic capital of Batavia.
Alex de Rooij, your regular everyday dalmatian working a dead end job, has his boring life suddenly upended when he discovers his boss's secret identity as the masked vigilante known as the Dawn Hound.
Thrust into a new position as his sidekick, he soon finds it comes with some rather unusual workplace hazards - from invisible fashionistas to fish mobsters from the depths of the local canals.
As threats continue to mount, Alex will have to step up to the plate to fight for the fate of his hometown - as well as decide his own.
Glory Hounds is an episodic visual novel with releases planned every two to three months (keep in mind that early releases might take longer than this as we build our library of assets and illustrations - we will try to keep communication as clear as possible). Each release features an additional story set in the city of Schippersburg. No cliffhangers here - these stories will remain mostly self-contained, similar to the cartoons and comics that inspired us.

what is batman doing bruh 💀
Does Max have butterflies' ability to taste things with his limbs?
i need to say this, this game is amazing, everything is cool and the history is so nice but, I was thinking that Rouls can fall in love with an athletic bear XD it'd be so interesting and cute see him trynig to say "i like you" to someone that is kind of the opposite... just thinking nothing else.
BTW i love this batman and Robin team so much
Easily the coolest VN in development! Also, any chance of a romance route with the new character introduced at the end?
hey!
this is the second time an Glory Hounds update doesn't show up in my feed
what's the deal with that?
No idea! Might be an Itch glitch. I flagged both the Android and regular releases as major.
It might be some issue with the itch app. I have the same issue where not only is no update listed as available as usual, but manually deleting the game to download the update presents me with "No compatible downloads were found".
That's because downloads don't have their platform tags, it has nothing to do with feed.
Should be fixed now!
Ultimate plant daddy issue. Hell. Yes.
I- DAMN, I WHINED FOR NOTHING HSHAHSHA So the Adnroid is not out yet? Ok, I'm sofer cool with that lol
Am I the only one who prefer raoul than
Ahab? But i Still enjoy the vn:3
when build 3.7 is going to be released?and also why is there no nsfw scene?
An update will go out in March! As for sex scenes, we're still considering a good time and place for them.
YEAH! COME ON.DO THE UPDATE NOW!
it's been half a month since Pocket Issue to came out???!!!
why wasn't I notified?
I'm not joking, I wasn't notified in my feed despite following the Echo Project, I think there was some mistake
Wonderful story and UNBELIEVEABLY good art! Such a recommend for everyone.
Reminds me of SWAT Katz
Glory Hounds is such a delight. Every time a new issue comes out, me and some friends get together on discord to do a live read, and we always have a blast. I'm really a big fan of Ishmael and Polly as a comedy duo. Thank you so much for working on this project, you're doing great <3
Okay, this might seem out of left field, but... what species is butterfly goon 3?
so a while back, I was trying to figure out which specific species all the characters are so I could put it in TheEchoproject wiki
for the butterfly goons, I conclude
butterfly goon 1 (orange wings, leash): Danaus plexippus (Monarch butterfly)
butterfly goon 2 (red wings, leather daddy outfit): Anartia amathea
butterfly goon 4 (brown wings, ropes): Pararge aegeria (Speckled wood)
that leaves only butterfly goon 3 (teal wings, gas mask), the closest match I could find was Morpho menelaus, but the color isn't right, he's too green, the only teal butterfly I could find was Papilio lorquinianus, but the wing-shape doesn't match
My eyes cannot comically recover from this
This is quickly turning into one of my favourite VNs of all time. I saw the tweets mentioning how from now on you guys are gonna try to release updates quicker, and i´m overjoyed.
I only have one small question, will the VN stay SFW, or will it display NSFW scenes in the future? I personally don´t mind either way, but seeing the warning at startup is a bit confusing otherwise. Without NSFW, i´d even go as far as to say the VN is pretty tame, considering.
In any case, can´t wait for more!
I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this vn! <3
Just finished all three issues and I enjoyed the amount of humor and action packed!
After finishing part 3 I will die for Dawn Hound

this game is just so genuinely joyful, and the art is absolutely on point- super fun style and really charming character designs
and ahab,,
i can fix him......
sfw
is this sfw idk
This was absolutely adorable! Can't wait for more. Keep up the good work!
disappointing. You dont even bang the hot Rottweiler
How so? Can you explain for a newcomer who doesn't know much about it?
In my opinion and from someone who read over 20 furry vn's or more, this vn didn't 'fall off'. It's actually doing amazing and I'm excited for the next update>W<. I suggest you finish reading it if you haven't alread
I would agree. Just finished episode 3 and I found the entire thing absolutely adorable.
This VN is actually amazing. Honestly don't know how to explain how good this VN is.
I love this game, but something I don't think a lot of people notice that I want to point out, because I think it's funny is that Raoul is just furry Bruce Wane. Mysterious rich guy that has a secret dark superhero persona, high tech gadgets, a side kick in a tight suit, a badass butler, and a secret underground lair.
Greetings from the German-Netherlands border. Love the game!
German-Batavian border*
If they try to back stab the dalmatian ill Ecocide thems "catacombs" how do you smash a non physical thing ez take it over or collapse ther reality
Can't wait for next update!
The amount of splendid spritework in this game never ceases to amaze me.
That was super fun! Thanks for the update! Loved Milo's falcon hood, and how Alex and Raoul could slip right in at a bondage-themed show, hahaha.
(ending spoilers)
Curious about the entity there--some kind of soul of Schippersberg, that's benevolent while Echo's is malevolent? Echo cinematic universe real??? But seriously, the concept of the ancient (flooded?) catacombs of the city seems super cool, maybe we'll see them somewhere down the line.
One tiny disappointment: the real-world pride flag at the bar. Not for bigoted reasons, I was hoping to see some kind of fun alternate universe/slightly futuristic design! Maybe with zigzags?
theory time: i was thinking of the identity of the entity beneath the city, here's my idea, it is a "good" echo, we know that there is something (or multiple things) on Echo that seems to feed of suffering and trauma, in Arches is implied that there are inumerable echos around the world, but all we saw until now have feed on negative emotions and are generally malicious, but the entity in Schippersburg seems to feed on hope and is benevolent, is possible that both entities share a common origin
I got an file corrupt or damaged error when trying to extract the Linux version. Redownloading didn't fix it either. If any other Linux users encounter this issue I can confirm that the Windows version will run just fine if you have Renpy on your system.
