This looks like it would have great comedy as a game!

Once you have the game up and running, I want to play it! Looks very charming.

When I see this screenshot I want play this game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!
I'd love to play it too! Maybe I'll make it real sometime

Aw dang, wish this was really playable. Looks like it would have been really cute!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!
Unfortunately I'm not a gamedev (and now I really don't have time to learn XD), but I wanted to test myself by creating a series of convincing mockups

When you think about it, a game is just a series of convincing mockups displayed in quick succession!

Kidding aside, I really love your style. I all feels so effortlessly expressive, if that makes sense.

I'm halfways between programmer and artist myself, so if you ever wanna collab on something in the future, feel free to hit me up!

Darn, this looked like it would have been good!

Developer

Thanks! I'm not sure about the gameplay, but I would have definitely churned out more amazing illustrations

These screenshots look great! I love the cute style—it fits perfectly with a dating sim. I'd definitely love to go on a date with Medusa! Are there any plans to turn this into a full game, or was it created as a mock-up intentionally?

Developer

Thanks!
They were intentionally created as mockups (because I'm not a developer) to feed my pixelartist portfolio, but if I were to find someone really interested in the project (and willing to contribute) I'd like to make it real, even not necessarily as a GB game

make this real i want to hang out with the bunch  of goblins T_T

Submitted(+1)

Seconded, I would also like to hang out with Bunch of Goblins.

Developer

Thank you, I had a lot of fun making these illustrations (I wish I could have done even more).
For now it's just a concept, but if I found a developer interested in the project we could talk about making it real!

I am a (fairly) competent developer. If you were interested in building it in GB Studio so that it actually ran on Game Boy hardware, I'd potentially be down to chat! Though that'd come with a fair deal of limitations feature wise, since ya know... old ass hardware.
