Nice job! I would have loved to see where this goes next, but attempting a VN for a jam and getting as far as you did is certainly admirable. Props for also diving in and learning a new tool during the jam in the process!
Thank you so much! I was intending on joining another jam this week, but I was so adamant on learning unity for it that there ended up not being enough time, since not only would I have to learn a handful of C# operations, but the Unity UI alone is a bit much for me to handle.
Nice work on this visual novel concept! some of the things I would consider maybe would be how busy your floor tiles seem to get within the classroom. Its not to distracting and I see your trying to go with that wood texture, it just feels extremely busy. this makes the rest of the characters look a bit odd with the way they blend in.
Also for long visual novel games consider adding a mute button for the music but adding some sound effects for the text continuation. some little soft jingle or whatever to give that feedback of the player doing something.
An endearing and chill game. Definitely felt a lot like a JP visual novel, if that's what you were going for you nailed it. I can tell you put a lot of work into this, and I remember seeing your progress shots on Discord. Overall a really nice change of pace from some of the other more frantic entries. Well done!
Thank you so much! I was going for the JP visual novel aesthetic because I have been reading a lot of manga recently, including a lot of rom coms. In the end though I feel like Persona was the biggest influence on the game.
Personally, this is not my type of game, but I can see the amount of work you put into it. I can't imagine doing all the conversation logic, ontop of everything else you did in GBStudio. Hats of to you for it, that's pretty impressive. Otherwise, there were just some grammar issues I noticed throughout various bits of dialogue (mainly using 'your' in places where it should be you're and etc). There was also a line that said "grapeful" instead of grateful which made me giggle.
Some of the dialogue was really funny too, and some really made me reminiscent of being a new kid at a new school / city. I feel like you nailed the overall feeling you were going for.
Well done!
I can understand, this isn't my favorite type of game either, just the one I felt was right to make at the time. Among the grammar mistakes I'm sorry for not catching them I was rushing a lot in the dialogue department focusing a lot more time on the visuals of the project. Also "grapeful" was on purpose, just couldn't fit in more food puns for that particular character. Thank you for the feed back!
I dig this a lot! The story was great and it felt really similar to a classic Gameboy game. I liked the cheeky dialogue options you could pick. Great work!!
This game really resonated with me from the beginning as I moved around a lot and got to deal with being the 'new kid' a lot. I'm really liking this so far and can't wait to finish it! Also the dialogue seems great! Not clunky! Sure a little cheesy and on the nose at times but I think overall its wonderful and you did a fantastic job!
This is epic for this jam! Amazing work. I will have to finish it at some point :)
I did not expect such a long game, I have finally finished it, I think the narrative is great for you, each character is different and has their own personality. I like the detail that it is your first time using gbstudio and you have achieved something like this, and that you have made the sprites and music from 0, great job, very polished and it would be nice to have more chapters in the future ^^
Thank you so much, I love the world so I would be glad to add more chapters in the future. Not any time soon, but after I have more experience in GB Studio and have better plan out the individual days. I had originally planned out seven days before realizing the scope was way to big.
We all make that mistake, especially when we are motivated with our ideas ^^ if you have thought about all that content, it is that you have not been very concerned about the amount of work behind it until you realized XD. That is passion for making games, I will follow you to see your future progress ^^ good luck
Was not expecting a game so long in just 8 days, well done. Enjoyed the story.
Impressive narrative game to be made in such a short time. I really like the high-school setting and all the characters. My favorite was your friend who shares Bento Boxes. I really like all the dialogue choices and the environments. There's a lot to explore and I think this could be expanded further.
Than you so much! I really wanted to explore the characters more myself and wish I had more time to make their dialogue more consistent and thought out. Not sure if you explored all possible routes, but in case you missed it, try not going through the gate before it closes :)
Reminds me of Persona- when the teacher asks you questions in class.
This time, I don't have a guide! Fun, but reminds me a bit of a visual novel- I'm applying all the decisions to see what happens.
I definitely took inspiration from Persona visual novel aspect. I wanted to include a fusion with other genres but I completely underestimated how long the art and audio would take, not even mentioning how much I underestimated dialogue, I cut out a lot of that.
