Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 7! My name's Hythrain and I'm one of the hosts and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!
So my normal approach for any game in these events is simple: I get the game, make sure it's not a virus, then play it with as little information on how to play as possible. This way, I can judge how intuitively someone can figure out the game. Only if it's obvious that I need to read more will I do so. I note this so you can get a sense where some of these feedback comes from. In addition, I want to note that feedback and rating are different; don't use this feedback to gauge what I'll rate, nor should you view my rating as entirely indicative of my feedback.
It didn't take me long to figure out what this game was doing, and a quick glance at the game page did confirm it. As such, I ultimately knew that there wasn't anything for me to really give feedback on. This isn't a project that needs the sort of feedback I'd give, so I'm not going to give it. Just know that I support the intent. That said, this also cuts very close to our rule on involvement of current politics (a rule which I had implemented after a game that was wholly against my personal politics). As such, I'm forced to let my rating reflect this. Just know that in general, I'm okay with everything you're doing.
Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm currently traveling, so I could unfortunately not follow the even this time as much as I would like to have.
If you could share your link, that would be very nice!
No worries. I've seen some folks who post their game and then never return. Anyway, here's a link to the VOD.
Thanks for the stream. I'm glad that you seemed to have liked the game. I understand how conflicted you were with the rating, and I respect your decision.
If you want to play the full game (that extends a lot beyond what you have seen, since there the demo stops after the first day, but there are also events on the following days, please let me know, then I can give you access before the full version is officially launched.
Hello, finally got to check out your entry. I know you finished long ago. Here's my VOD on checking out your entry.
Overall I appreciate the intent and the writing of the piece, as it tries to cover a difficult subject, (it is borderline too close to current politics, which would be a no no for feedbackquest generally...I get the intent is to present the worries/hope of the Beautiful island... ^^;;) My VOD includes detail feedback on the art editing and suggestion on how to improve the presentation. Best wishes. Overall well put together, it does need more polish at least on character art and key background arts for the demo.
sehr schöne visual novel ! Mit viel Liebe zum Detail vom Entwickler erstellt
