Thank you so much for checking out Memories of Marin too, Mat!! š I am so happy to hear that you liked it and enjoyed the experience of it! Yes, the project is on hold at the moment because two years after writing the story, I realise that I have changed, and I am not really in the space I was in back then, and like youāve said, some of the themes that I wanted to explore were already explored in OLG. I am still thinking about how I want to approach the story because the original version of the game which actually was already halfway completed is a little heavy. I might revisit the project once more when I know how I want to proceed! Thank you once more for being so kind about my project! š My next challenge is to try to make my own assets, since most of the assets I used in this game are from other people!

Ahhh now that you explained that, I took the liberty of checking the rest!
I really liked the variations on the ending lol and I even have to admit, 3rd and 2nd were actually way better! They felt a bit more complex, and much more fulfilling doed to that!
As I said before, I can really see both your other games in here as well, I think you really perfected the multi endings with Rosenberg as well! And your character development as well, althought I can tell that was always there playing this one lol
I really liked the theme around how some choices changes completely one's life, and how some tumultous paths led the main character to understand himself better, and learn what was going on with him in the back of his mind.
Glad you told me endings were safe LOL I was missing a lot with just one.
And I totally get you on the coming back to a project thing, it's not easy and one's mindset has sometimes evolved. I listened to a few old recordings of music i was making years ago, only to realize that had already evolved and became a completely different song, yet it was the same core. And me thinking I had forgotten it lol I guess like your game just explained, sometimes the back of our minds keeps working while we don't realize!
Yet, again, beautiful game <3 (Also no, not trying OLG other's ending, the good one was perfect as it is period hahahaha)
Glad you found the other endings pleasant and enjoyed the less direct paths too! š Thank you once more for your kind words and encouragement! I am truly happy to hear that you are witnessing the changes and improvements in my games! I donāt know how my future games will be, but making games and writing (and drawing) is a fun outlet for me, as I think making music is for you (and making games too I am sure)! š Do share your online music portfolio too if you have one! I would love to listen to your music too. Haha, donāt worry about trying the other endings in OLG! As sad a story as it was, it was meant to be healing and a sort of closureā¦ though maybe I need to work on making āfeel good gamesā because my stories always end up seeming sadder/less pleasant than I had intended for them to be. :p I canāt wait to try your game āSecond Impactā in a few days! I will need to use my other computer that runs on Windows because Unity games seem to work better downloaded for me!
Haha, my pleasure to play them! And I don't know, you kinda already did. Rosenberg was much more "happier" in some endings, ofc you can't just have a happy fairy tale ending for everyhing lol I think you're doing good as you are! You can clearly tell I do mostly funny stuff, so my opinion might not be the most accuarate for other genres lol
Ah I really should put up an online portfolio someday, for now it's all in the games lol if you get to play SI at some point, I do think that is my best work musically to the date, unlike Freak the Town in which I only managed to do 3 songs besides all other tasks, there I got time to properly do all that I felt was needed hehe!
I take you're a mac user? I did try to make a build for it, and failed miserably LOL again, no need to go through so much trouble tho!!! You can always try it online, it's a pretty light game since it's all pixel art.
