I'll be playing this tonight at 5 PM PST/8 EST with my friend DeviousVacuum on my twitch channel, prettypinkpansy - looking forward to coming back and dropping a more thorough review!

(Not trying to advertise, just saying "if any devs happen to see this they're welcome to watch us check it out if they'd be interested in that sort of thing")

Couldn't help but comment real quick to say that I was booting the game up to test it pre-stream and was really shocked it's on Godot and not Ren'Py!

As a very amateur developer who's really interested in learning Godot and loves visual novel/dating sim/adjacent stuff, I would love to hear if the programmer has any tips on working with the engine, any prefab stuff you might've used, et cetera. 🥺

aw shoot i wish i had seen this and made the stream! i hope you had a lot of fun playing it ^^ (is there a vod??)

i've also passed this along to our programmer so that she can answer your godot Qs. i was also very impressed with what we got done in godot in such a short period! i know dialogic was a HUGE help in the process

Hi hi! Yes I'm always happy to help people learn about Godot especially if they wanna make VNs in it ^_^

The overview of it is that we used Godot 4.2 (and now I use 4.3 so the latest releases are all good) along with the Dialogic 2 plugin which helps us manage the dialogue. Dialogic is also a helpful plugin for people who are just getting started with Godot since Dialogic can handle your dialogue, your backgrounds, the audio, sound effects, sprites, etc. 

We didn't actually use Dialogic for anything more than the dialogue and saving some save file variables, so in Good Lord! The music and all the visuals run on a separate system that I coded from the ground up because Dialogic doesn't have the full range of flexibility we wanted for animations and music cues. Fortunately it's very easy to get all that connected and it was a pretty smooth process!

I also coded another VN demo in Godot if you want to take a look at a very different style of VN too (BDWA Radio). OH! Also I'm giving a talk about this at VN;Conference on the 25th too so that talk will be recorded up on their youtube after the fact too if you can't make it.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the game too and feel free to reach out if you have any questions too!
