Hello!

I was able to enjoy the VN up to the machine translations. I think what you have is a very likable, lighthearted slice-of-life story and setting.  The AI art is well suited, and the characters are all distinct in backgrounds and personalities, as they play off each other nicely, especially in the D&D scene. That being said, I still would like to make a couple of suggestions.

I feel like AI art tends to makes the character sprites stiff. In other words, the sprite poses are a little bit too perfect. They play nicely to their core personalities but not so much to their emotions. And speaking of emotions, since the theme of the game leans towards being comical and light-hearted, I feel the emotions should either be more cartoonish or animated. I'm not sure if AI art can generate faces like that, however. Also, I feel it is hard to focus on both the emotions of the characters and the textbox: the words are too far away from the faces. My suggestion is to either increase the sprite size or move the textbox a little upwards and increase the font size. I feel Renpy's default font size is way smaller than non-renpy visual novels, so you can always increase it if there's room. 

I also feel some scenes go too fast, especially if the scenes are emotional or dramatic. It is better to take things slower in those passages, since readers might miss out on certain elements, especially if they are elements you want your reader to pay close attention to. A good way to either make scenes slower or bring attention certain ideas to the player is to reiterate. A lot. It might look repetitive on a word document, but I feel like good visual novels do that, or at least the ones I've read. I tried scribing word-for-word a fifteen minute scene from one of my favorite visual novels as a writing exercise, and boy, do they reiterate a lot of the same ideas in different words. But it's preferable, since readers tend to not flip back or check the text history, and it helps control the pacing. Speaking of which, another suggestion writing-wise is to limit the use of pronouns when referring to objects or persons in the previous textbox sentence. E.g. readers might fail to fully pay close attention to one sentence only to be hit with "And so she did this" in the next textbox sentence, completely forgetting who "she" is, and is forced to flip back. This example isn't referring to anything specific in your writing, for I am guilty of this as well.

Anyway, those are my two cents, feel free to accept or ignore them. I hope you continue to enjoy making the game, and good luck with it!

Hi. I was one of the streamers who participated in the Feedback Quest. Before anything, I'd like to give a warning on what I am about to say. I am going to be very critical and frankly quite harsh in my critique. Its even more so in the VOD of my stream. I sincerely apologise in advance if I offend.

I had issues with the game from the start knowing that it was made using AI art. As an artist and seeing the results of AI towards myself and more so my peers, its very common that AI Art will put off a lot of people. I believe in your sincere effort of making the game but I would recommend that you either stick to limiting the character models and just using one rather than multiples of the same character as the switches stand out a lot and a reasonably sharper eye will notice it. It shows in the background, it shows in the saturation. The UI also feels lacking. 

A Visual Novel is often built upon two things, the art and the story. The art for this is frankly a weaker element of the game so now it hinges practically entirely on the story which sadly doesn't work. The setting of 1992 would not have words like "Normie" there. Since the art was such a point of contention, any small mistakes become magnified even more so. I've also noticed a LOT of scientific theory in the route I played which frankly, I do understand a lot of it but even if it is essential to the plot, feels forced, too convoluted, and unnecessary. It would put off most people before they even get the pay off of said information being used. There was also a lack of believeability in the world as it was. Suddenly being transported into 1992, having a cat eared girl with little to no explanation, there were too many jarring things that made me lose connection with the world and it lacked believeability. I found myself pulling away often trying to process what I just read, to reconcile it with what was introduced at the earlier segments of the game and such. Another thing of note, the main character at least to me, thus far has been very unlikeable. Him calling girls Nerds after establishing that he himself is a Lonely person who had no friends now suddenly having girls vying for his participation and him dismissing them. His character lacks believeability. 

HOWEVER there was one part of the game that I played at some point that I truly enjoyed. It was when they played the RPG tabletop game. The art for their game characters and the lack of switching designs, the fantastical writing and build up of the world and surrounding, the very descriptive writing used and interesting plot albeit the fight in it was a bit hard to fully enjoy but again, it was good. I feel a genuine knack for Fantasy Writing. You made a believable world of a TableTop RPG and it felt genuinely good, I FELT connected to it and invested in the story. I feel that you have good strength here that would benefit in the future.

I praise the effort and hope you will keep making more. I enjoyed the bits that I enjoyed very much. Again I must apologise if you did see the VOD or read this and are taken aback. I hope you will continue to make the games you love. 

Hello! I was one of the streamers who took part in Feedback Quest, and I'm here to leave some comments I had while playing.

I absolutely love this game. The artwork is incredibly adorable and the story is very cute. The group playing a tabletop RPG was such a great addition. It also does a great job of giving numerous small choices that slightly change the direction but don't affect things too much. This results in the player feeling very invested.

Finally, I did see that the majority of the artwork was AI generated. I know for some people, this can be a very touchy subject. That said, I do feel this is one of the best uses of it; it doesn't attempt to replicate any specific artist, instead taking on a common style of anime art and it doesn't make the art itself the focus. Instead, it uses the artwork to tell a lovely story.

I'm excited to see where this goes. I hope it does NOT ever gain hentai elements and keeps the cuteness it has now.

I'm having a great time with this game. The art's beautiful and the story and character interactions are really fun. Did AI help with the story as well as the art? It looks like you must have done a large amount of research to make this. I liked how in the RPG, when Sylvia was confronted with a with a person even more pompous than her, she put them in their place pretty quickly XD

Some observations: One minor error -- in the English tutorial, Patti introduces herself as Petra. Second, I had to refresh the game to watch the opening because I accidently clicked during it. You might add some text in the corner saying "Click to skip opening" so people know how to skip (or not skip) the opening.

Streamed this for about 1.5 hour, it was a fun stream, the story and the characters are loveable, sometimes it's very easy to notice the inconsistency of the AI sprites BUT I can make good jokes about them since it's AI and it's becoming a feature, I guess. I love the details that is shared in the STEM classes. 

Only feedback where you can improve the game as it's current stage at 1.5 hr in, that would be to fill the quiet plots with BGM for every moment, for reading the VN as a player yes those lines will go by quickly but for a streamer who is reading the lines, the VN will look better if there's always BGM in the BG.  Your game segment on YT:

From what I played, the story is enjoyable, and the AI art is mostly impressive, though it regularly falls in the uncanny valley. But as an experiment, it's cool! I like the tiny bits of trivia that pop occasionally, and even though most of them aren't translated, I know just enough german to make them out. 

The interactive moments (I took the math class) were welcome though maybe a bit too far apart, it would have been nice to play even a simplified version of werewolves for instance :D

Good job!
