Super-Nova
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Super-Nova is a superhero-themed visual novel set in the fictional city of Nova. The story follows Nick, a college junior who unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a world of superpowered heroes and villains. He has large shoes to fill as he takes over the role of one of the city's most famous superheroes - Templar. After joining a superhero team, the raccoon will be able to choose a mentor to guide him as they tackle all that Nova City has to offer.
The visual novel will branch into three routes based on the choice of mentor: the mysterious fox Mnesis; the cheerful, enthusiastic tiger Superfang; and the prickly, brash Baron-in-Black. Each route will explore a different facet of the story and world as you forge a stronger bond with your chosen superhero and uncover more of what lies beneath their masks.
Super-Nova is a story containing mature subject matter and is therefore not suitable for minors.

when's the nest public blind
2 Patreon back to back?
I'm impatient, but we'll get something soon.
It's okay take your time I just thought that you went back and forth with the public and the Patreon. seeing it back-to-back just surprised me that's all.
Oh, I'm not part of the team. 😅
"Face palm"
This VN is amazing. The routes are so different from each other, no copy & paste here. I can't praise the people involved in this enough!!!
The public bould update for the baron should be up soon right
I'm enjoying this VN very much. Good job to all creators. Have tried Superfang and Mnesis routes and I like both, but havn't had the courage for Baron so far.
just wanted to ask, since the dev log hasn't updated since September( also pls don't forget to do that or something it kinda annoys me when vn's don't - pls and thanks :) ) What's the update that came out 11 days ago?
"annoys"? he doesn't owe you anything.
he literally wrote an explanation in the response to the comment before yours. Dont be annoying
When is there going to be another update? I love this VN so much, I'd be devastated if it were to be abandoned. 🥺
Hey, thanks for the kind words. Super-Nova is definitely not abandoned, I was just going through a bit of a rough patch, but the next update is coming. I can't promise a steadier pace of updates in the future, since I can never really predict how busy I'll be at my dayjob at any given time, but I have hope that we'll be able to have an update every couple months this year. I would like to make substantial progress on Superfang's route in 2024.
I just started playing and I feel like theres gonna be a mega twist where Lucas is gonna be the big evil villain who planned for Nick to get powers
soooooooooooooooooooo, when i try to open the android version it tells me that there was a problem with the package so i would be really gratefull if you could help me by fixing it
Hi, I found an ERROR when I went to check out the extras after choosing Mnesis' route when I went to check out Superfang's profile and pressed the "clothing" button.
Used: Android 9, if you need more info: NO PROBLEM!

I hope this will be helpful for finding the error.
Good luck!
no news for the 2nd anniversary? :c
epic
Finally managed to take some time to read more of this game and I'm definitely glad that I did so. I really enjoy the writing, characters, art and music. It really helps diving into the world and putting yourself into the characters perspective. Definitely will continue reading more of it as it comes and good luck with developing, thanks for this absolutely awesome game
Is the game still in development, or is it finished?
It's in development
a theory for Templar's bracelet origin, so for those who really don't want a lead,
So I have a little theory regarding Templar's bracelet. Nothing big, but you can see a pattern. It is visually shown and mentioned that the bracelet has obvious celtic figures on it, such as the dara knot(symbol of strength) and the triskel if I remember right. the surname "O'Connor" is of irish origin, and we can see that the bracelet is on Nick right arm. If we go from the fact that the bracelet is of magical origin, which is probably right, my theory is that it is Nuada silver arm, which is the artificial arm that the god Nuada gained after having own cut off. Nuada is an Irish celtic god, and so the bracelet would be what various media refered in video games and books as "Airgeadlámh,"
I loved reading this. Glad to see some theories on this topic.
Won't confirm or deny anything, of course, but we'll be exploring the topic soon enough. Nicely done =)
Hello, what is Unbound's powers again?
She can phase through matter and fly.
As a smut writer, I'm normally pretty disappointed to find out when a VN decides against NSFW scenes, but in all honesty, Super Nova's story is MORE than interesting enough to forgo snu-snu :p in fact, I think it'll be better without!
I'm REALLY looking forward to a slow burn romantic adventure with each of the boys, especially Superfang~ ^^_
Vince is mega hot!! got a kick out of the teasing nick endured from his friends lmao.
Will Hex be dateable?
No, there are currently only three routes in development, and it's very unlikely more will be added.
The story doesn't emphasize the dating aspect anyway.
very noice!
will be looking forward to how it developes!
Baron route , I need to find out why
spoiler a little? maybe is it? not sure? Kinda? not really? but still could be?:
he has so many ex wives.
Hah, we'll learn a bit more about his personal life (and Vince and Frank's) as we get deeper into his route.
Too bad can't claim it as i don't have access to pc now so I can't download it. Cool artstyle
We have an android build, in case reading on your phone is an option. :)
How long has it been
Superheroes and gayness? Yeah I'm down. Is this the full product or is there a paid complete version somewhere?
The project is currently wip.
i'm curious, what does mnesis means?
Just googled it, basically it's a model of memory development
Memory NEoStructural Inter-Systemic
It's Greek for "memory"
You know who I'm talking about
It's always the characters you're supposed to hate isn't it?
I know right?
Love this new update but this
If you redownload the file, the error should be fixed haha. Sorry
You made him so angry he deleted his own eyes so he doesn't have to look at you and Nick is rightfully terrified.
Demon mnesis
I love this vn it is very very good and I love the art style and it's story I love it🫶🫰🪷
The story is amazing so far, cant wait the the continuation. If there is to be one.
Does anyone know if the authors are doing well? Haven't heard anything in awhile so I got worried.
They are still posting updates on Patreon so I think it's all good
Oh man, this VN got me hook so good! This is my top 3 favorite VN so far.
Love it, keep up the good work man ^^
Play the game, and pay no mind to Baron.
Me: *enjoying Baron's rudeness*
Don't we all?
Yessirrr
Shame Jess has no sprite yet, but I'm loving this power trio regardless.
She'll definitely get one at some point
First time trying and in the first few minutes I'm already sad. Cute handsome badger...why...he was so cool. Poor Templar...well here's hoping Superfang can fill this hole. Main character rubs me the wrong way sometimes but still fine
Everytime i try to update it it says "app not installed as it conflicts with an exisiting package" anyone know of a fix?
Unfortunately it happens with Android builds from time to time. You will need to uninstall the game before trying to install the new version.
Mmm~ eyepatch Greg
Loving the VN so far but I won't lie, if the developers are trying to make me feel anything but annoyance and anger for the Baron then... they have their work cut out for them. But I'm still excited to see where the story goes, and I do believe that anyone who is creative enough to dream up this VN may have a chance.
Was the comment made before or after reading the route update? :)
Sorry but I'm not entirely sure what you mean
"I would highly recommend you play it even if you aren't particularly fond of the Baron."
Me: I dislike him but I will cope for the story and content and hopefully his character evolve into something better in the future
rotshild be like: "play it even if you aren't fond of the baron"
me: jokes on you, i'm into grumpy boys
Then I hope you enjoyed the build and are looking forward to more <3
Just finished. As weird as it may be for some I simp Baron already
''I would highly recommend you play it even if you aren't particularly fond of the Baron''
Not me being attracted to every single character in this VN
Wonderful taste
