I AM RATING THESE ALL THESE 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):
The is the second highest VN on my overall rankings to have a low Theme ranking. My notes say “Expanding into fluffy death.” which is certainly a bad way to die. Everyone, including me, always seems to romanticize lycanthropy so the idea of it leading to this made me reconsider how much I romanticize it. I felt like there was one explanation of it but not much to really reinforce it.
Story (4):
This is where your expertise came through. Things felt tense in a good mysterious way. I could practically smell the dankness of the wolf.
You made Rome feel like a real place and not just that city from Adastra. /hj
I remember when I finished reading, I was theorizing why Anselmo would want to kill Uglyboi for a few hours.
Presentation (4):
The use of those Creative-Commons/Royalty-Free sprites/CG’s were very resourceful. I know had seen that rat bartender in another VN before but I had no idea they were from an art pack.
The use of music was excellent even if the music changed to the next track during the most unfortunate part.
The part where Nino has the little eyes was hilarious.
I remember a part or two that I was genuinely spooped during my stream.
The font change for the names was a nice little touch that added a lot to overall tone.
Creativity (3):
I’m surprised no one else did fantasy setting like this. Where creatures come out at night to prowl the streets like it’s Halloween every day.
This is the only MY WOLF where a wolf is the protagonist, deuteragonist and antagonist. Very wolfy.
I still have no idea what the thumbnail is supposed to be.
Total (13):
Uglyboi In The Tower will not be forgotten even though there was a too nickel situation this year with towers.
I was kind of surprised that you went Solo after producing one of the best entries from MAY WOLF 2023 with Hughhhh.
You left the reader wanting more and this is my second highest rated submission that is incomplete. I really hope you’ll be able to finish this one day.
Master can I please have some more!?!
