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 (3):
If I was you, I would have use the fact that this entire situation came directly from a dream to say that “it expanded from dream to reality” instead of trying to use time rewinding to expand memories. It would have been a more cheesy but more comprehensible.
Story (4):
Finally narration! It might have taken you making three other VN’s to understand the importance of narration but here we are! Better late than never.
Despite these characters coming out of nowhere like the VN, I was able to get attached to them.
I did find the reveal at the end pretty somber and satisfying. Just like how this VN came out of nowhere so can someone’s demise.
Presentation (5):
The fact that you made all of this in 48 hours is super impressive. I was struggle with doing 4 sprites for my Bolos in that amount of time, meanwhile you started everything from scratch besides using the Pre-Made sprites as bases. The little additions you made to the Pre-Made sprites did give them a little bit of a unique flair.
Creativity (2):
This is once again, another VN where I had to try to balance out the Rankings by giving a low Creativity Ranking. This is the highest one that I gave a 2 to and it does not deserve that. Maybe I just thought that a story about purgatory wasn’t all that creative? I’m kind of at a loss for words with 2024 Unagi right now.
Total (14):
I assuming you want to forget about the other two VN of the JMJerBear MAY WOLF 2024 Trilogy so I won’t talk about them.
You’re lucky that I’m barely old enough to remember how VHS’s work.
If anyone thinks that they can’t make a VN within the last 48 hours of a Jam from scratch, then I will be shoving this in their faces. I thought that A Cheesy Romance from MAY WOLF 2023 was a great example of that but this blows it out of the water.
Out of every submission, this is the one that I hope will have a separate download so people can experience this how it was during June of 2024.
It’s nice to see that you went for one big release for NovemBEAR instead of making another Trilogy.
