A New Dawn
While leaving Sinnoh for no particular reason, meet a cute girl headed for the same destination. With nothing better to do, share the cruise together and maybe learn a thing or two from each other. Amateur lovey dovey visual novel for those with a love for Dawn.
Go on adventures around the cruise ship with Dawn while on your way to Unova!
Engage in fierce battles with your Scyther, who doesn't know he's not a grass-type!
Practice for the Delocore Cruises Pokémon Contest for a chance to win up to fifty U.S. Dollars!
And potentially smooch your cute bluenette companion along the way.
Working with a near-zero dollar budget, so some assets are repurposed: Dawn sprites by Hainchu, soundtrack from Katawa Shoujo, backgrounds from various google searches. Basically this is for people who love Dawn and don't mind that so much.

I came into this expecting some story then NSFW content but I am seriously in love with the story of this. Do you plan on continueing it with the mc following Dawn into Unova?
Reading the comments, I agree with everyone saying this game is great and it has so much potential.
Oh also, what 'lewd' content is in the game? I chose tons of options but never found anything lewd
Thanks mate :3
No plans at the moment, this stuff is a lot of work, but who knows in the future.
There's a walkthrough on the updates page, it gets plenty lewd if you do the right thing.
have porn content? i played a couple minuts but dont see nothing
You may have to go into the game settings and enable nsfw content. I think it's off by default. It's also more of an endgame thing, as the novel is more about building a wholesome relationship with her than NSFW :)
now that 1.1 is out, just curious if there would be a release in Dawn's POV? I think this would be amazing to see and offer a cute insight to how Dawn views the interactions and seeing her slowly fall in love
I've tried a number of times to do this and it's never come out well. I welcome anyone's fanfiction version though.
aw, well is there a way you could at least have a version that just adds in Dawn's thoughts? Not necessarily her POV but when certain romance/love scenes pop up just so we can see Dawn's thoughts and how she falls in love? Also is there any fanfics based off this visual novel out there?
i loved the game but the ending is a bit abrupt tbh just pushing you back to the main menu
She just is so damn cute now. Good job! Also, this face gets me all tingly.
YES! Let's go! so happy to see 1.1
Can you put the Spanish language in the game please
Game is polished now yipi yipi yipi
Is there any way to access the images seen in this game?
I will personally take on heaven and hell just to get a chance to have a girl like dawn in my life
Dawn would never let you fight that battle alone
Oh wow I didn't expect this but I am so into this Game now. Finished it in one night, I rly Hope this gets any Updates!! I never got into a Game ad crazy aß this before, AMAZING Job VNAnon!!! Btw do you have a discord or smth like that? Or any way of supporting this Game? Like I really really Love this Game!!! :D
Thanks mate :D Yeah I have a discord here https://discord.com/invite/pJbcFNceqm
Just wanted to say that this game is so good I once again fell into a depressed state, knowing that I will never have something like this in my life.
Great job, ya amazing bastard, you did good.
Aw sorry :c
life is hell without pokegirls
I mean, bro, I'm not even getting regular girls. I don't even need to be in the world of pokemon, I just want a woman who loves me, who will hold me and comfort me, and who I can spend my life with.
But the more I think about it the more depressed I get.
Sorry, this isn't really the place to talk about shit like that.
Just find a girl and ask really nicely
Yeah... I don't think that's gonna work, but I'll keep it in mind, just in case.
Btw, are you planning on continuing this game? I get that it was probably planned as just this one-off scenario on the ship, but personally, I see a potential for a lot more.
Currently working on replacing all the stolen artwork and assets.
I have another vn on here if you're interested.
I want more to this i few in love with this game
How do I access this image?
I'm still trying to figure that out myself, if you find out, can you post how please
That's why I posted that, I don't how to get that.
Have high affection but don't kiss her the first time you're prompted
Oh so follow the walkthrough until that point.
very cute! I enjoyed it a lot
I love these moments so much cause they are so funny and relatable at the same time
That's usually when I wake up
I stayed up all night playing this. Very wholesome and cute. I played it twice because the first time, I didn't get any H-scene. There was a point where I could've gotten one, but I was so far ahead that I wanted to just finish to see the ending, then start over with the focus to get all the H-scenes. Very worthwhile.
I don't remember if i commented here before.
But just wanted to say i loved this, was extremely adorable and i can feel how much you like Dawn, made me love her a lot too.
I'm gonna play unova nights soon too, hope it is as sweet and good.
And idk your plans but i hope you do more stuff with dawn someday, or my waifu Iris.
20/10 made me feel sad i don't have dawn as a gf.
Thanks friend :> yes iris a cute as well
Seriously, thanks for making the MCs Pokémon Scyther. When I was a kid it was my favorite Pokémon because my little 7 year old brain couldn't imagine anything cooler than a ninja dinosaur bug with swords for arms. Even now I still have a major soft spot for bug types.
Yes Scyther is best boy
Are you sure this one was cool enough for you though? He's a big dope
He's a total bro. By the end I was more invested in being the very best like no one ever was with Scyther then I was in dating Dawn. That's not to say i didn't enjoy the romances writing but Scyther was definitely the part of the VN I enjoyed the most.
Anyway, thanks for making this and I'm looking forward to reading your other works and version 1.1.
Amen 🙏
This is the best VN I've ever played, and I didn't know Dawn before. Never even watched Pokemon.
You are a great writer!
Also I love the "crucible of styles" thing. For me it just looks really great, adding to the flair even!
What do you mean by that?
Oh.
I meant the warning you give about the repurposed / reused sprites and backgrounds.
For me personally that kind of style is really charming :)
Oh cool, well glad it worked out.
Thanks friend :D I am happy to convert more to the church of dawnology.
She is a mega cutie, so how could anyone resist worshipping her? Totally unrelated, I'll have to go on a pokemon watching / playing spree. Specifically diamond, pearl and platinum. Official dawn games! Also maybe brilliant diamond, should I get yuzu running again.
Again thank you so much for making me notice her!
Hey im a big fan of your work please keep it up i it all especially the storytelling.
Hey, you said you're adding for 1.1. Does this include non lewd content too? For the story?
We'll have to see
interesting, looking forward to it!
like, insert a lewd content bro
hey ive been reading your tweets, glad to see work starting up on a new Dawn again! Im considering donating too haha. Just a question, is there plans for a Dawn POV? Would absolutely love to see that!
Multiple people have suggested that, I might give it a shot but I haven't figured out how to do it very well. It'd likely be a one-off of its own if I did.
It'd be really cool to see! And what do you mean by one-off?
A separate download
Ah okay! In terms of what it could be about, it would be cool to see the major moments that happen in a New Dawn but in Dawn's POV and her thoughts, just a suggestion. Keep up the great work!
major moments if not the whole game if possible haha
Honestly this game was a beautiful experience and I was really disappointed that it came to an end 😭
I've always adored Dawn, now I do so even more. I didn't encounter any nsfw content throughout the narrative, I may have forgot to turn it on, but I was absolutely hooked on the story regardless and really, REALLY hope we'll get some more content one day 😍
Oooh, I didn't even realise there was another part, I'd only done the cruise plot
there's some lewd stuff in the cruise plot, but there's a hidden affection stat you gotta increase by doing stuff. i'd say just check out this walkthrough though, it explains everything pretty well
https://rentry.co/anewdawnwalkthrough1_0
Turns out I did indeed have NSFW off the first time around, whoops!
Yo dude, i appreciate your hardwork creating this masterpiece, i love it so much that i can play this game over and over again without getting tired of it! I ain't even watching pokemon but dang this made started the series just to see dawn. Dude I don't even get it why some people don't like this game (they're probably expected that this game is more onto sexual stuff.) like im telling you man this game is fucking awesome!
Keep up the work man, hopefully the 1.1 update will come out this year, don't stress yourself up dawg.
I thought most people liked it well enough D:
Dang the creator replied, well i just looked up to some comments a long time ago. I don't even understand why the guy was bragging about the graphics 💀 I'm fine with the way it is
I'm just some guy I assure you
hey man! Still playing through it because I just love it haha. Was wondering if the 1.1 release is still planned and coming out? Would love to see updated sprites and even new scenes/dialogue!
Maybe some day. Don't wanna work on 2 things at once, especially with how slow I already work.
ah okay, looking forward to it!
just curious, is the new sprites you mentioned for 1.1 the same ones you used for 5 minute morning?
Yeah, Suitenan made some before he got too busy to waste his time on me anymore.
:(
Will you be commissioning more for whenever you return to 1.1? About how long do you think the update will take, since you're working on other stuff right now?
I'd like to but it might be weird having clashing art styles. I can't estimate how long things will take, really.
After finally overcoming laziness and that weird thing that whenever i want to do something I postpone it forever and ever I finally played this game (used the walkthrough cause I am a wuss lol), And it was just as great as the other one, great story and great dialogue, and sex, that's fun too, all in all, great work my man, also cong rats on making it to f95
Thanks mate <3
This was great! It's telling that I didn't get any spicy scenes the first time around and I still didn't feel terribly disappointed because it was so sweet as a romance in general. I was also very fond of all the art that seemed drawn and wish there was more of that rather than stuff pulled off r34, but I understand that with something this big made by one person with little to no budget there'll probably be some compromises.
I went back and replayed through using the walkthrough, but it seems I'm still missing an image from the gallery. It's the 6th image, right below Dawn playing ping pong, how do I get it?
Thanks mate :D I think you get that one if you haven't waifu'd her by the end of the contest, if you have enough affection with her. Then she pounces on you.
It has been quite a while since I played A New Dawn for the first time, but even after all this time I like to come back to the game every now and then.
Admittedly, I played it the first time because it was a Pokémon-based erotic VN, but your writing actually kept me playing despite me messing up the "best ending" in my first blind run. It may not be the most complex or original story in the world, but it just works. The fact that there is no real bad ending makes it much more fun for me to play with different paths too, and Dawn is just so loveable and cute here.
Wish I had more time and was more consistent with writing music, otherwise I'd love to support your project(s)!
Thanks friend :> any support is always appreciated, you can tweet me any music you've got if you want.
do you ever think that you will add more to this game someday?
Possibly. I am a busy boy.
9/10, just wish it was longer.
Good stuff, very fucking sweet.
This is just so wholesome, even though I didn't like Dawn that much this VN made me fall in love with her.
Good work!
man playing through the game again, the ending is so beautiful. very well done, great job again!
Will you add more to the story its amazing
Comentario en español, sinceramente hace mucho que no leo una Novela Visual tan buena, es muy tierna y linda y el Soundtrack de Katawa Shoujo queda buenisimo, 10/10 definitivamente, tambien me lei el de Roxie y realmente espero que lo continues
Gracias amigo español :> Me alegro que hayas podido leerlo en inglés
just a question, what is the lowest dawn affection that you can get and what happens at the end? Like is the dialogue different?
Not really, I wasn't interested in adding any "bad" end stuff.
what is the lowest dawn affection points you can have? I assume the "worst" ending is the scenes where you can't kiss her and end up traveling as just friends
I don't know the exact number but yeah that sums it up
ah okay i see. Also yeah I wouldn't like or finish with the bad endings but I do admit I would be curious to see how that would look. I guess the main one would be saying bye to Dawn and not traveling, but others like her not inviting you to her room and not seeing the flirting. Again wouldn't like that but would be curious to see how those scenes look
Can't help but hope there's a sequel to this one day, extremely well written work.
it is genuinely upsetting how well written and heartwarming this wa
sorry
is there a "guide" for certain endings?
There's a walkthrough in the updates list.
