I AM RATING THESE ALL JAM SUBMISSIONS RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER. THERE ARE HIGH HIGHS AND LOW LOWS BUT PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS TOO PERSONALLY, AFTERALL, WE ALL ONLY HAD A MONTH.
Implementation of Theme (2):
I wasn’t able to understand how this VN used the theme until the writer explained it to me. You don’t know that Jasper is expanding on the past when until the end. I kind of was thinking that Jasper was just communicating to Ben via a hologram instead of past thoughts.
Story (1):
So my first impression of this story was that one of the Administrative Assistants tried to play it on his own. He had to drop it because it was putting him in a bad headspace. So I was mentally preparing myself.
I came into the VN expecting it to throw me through so many different emotional loops but it was just about anxiety. In a way that didn’t really resonate with me but just left me more empty but not in a good way.
Presentation (3):
I was very surprised that this team was able to find the Creative-Commons/Royalty-Royalty free images used for the sequence. The sprites are very well put together. I can’t fully appreciate it since this only my first exposure to Solar Punk.
The thumbnail had be thinking that there was going to be a more intense NSFW scene. I still don’t know what it’s supposed to symbolize.
It’s still not that funny but every time I see Jasper’s chest, all I think about is pizza.
Creativity (2):
Now that I’ve had more time to think about this VN, my Ranking for this is too low. I should have been at least a 3. I overlooked the Solar Punk esthetic because I couldn’t figure how it was supposed to blend with the story besides just being in the future. It’s an interesting choice that we still have nothing similar too in the niche.
Total (8):
After Go Golf Go won my heart in MAY WOLF 2023, I was very excited to find out what the creators would come up with. I was pretty disappointed to see that this was the follow-up. Not everything is going to going to be banger but still I look forward to what the two of try next time even if it’s not together again. Perhaps a crossover, Aaron And The City.
