I don't remember if I posted here or on the other post, but I never got a response about My Dear Kitsune. Is it too high-saturation? Is it too gory? Is it obscure and getting mistaken for a virus? Are the glitches too frightening? Anyway, I would love a review so that I could see what to change when I make the sequel (I might make a DLC, I'm not sure) I was just making sure you see it. I hope that you enjoy the game. From: Kawaii-Kowai Games
The remake to My Dear Kitsune is here now! It has new stories added too, so I recommend it! Play the game here.
Hey there Kawaii-Kowai Games, and no! You have never posted here, this is the first time we hear from you. We advice you in future posts like this (in our community page here or another one) to check first before you say such things, because it does sound like you are accusing us the way you put your words together! Always check first! And also, when we refuse a game for any reason of the reasons mentioned, we tend to notify any developer to post here with mentioning the reason to them again! It is from our work ethics because we are here honestly to help developers get thier game better and being heard more! You can check the posts above you to see examples of that.
With that being said, we have played tested your visual novel game and we saw a cool interesting story! I have personally put a lot of feedback into the gameplay video walkthrough! We appreciate you joining to our YouTube channel, because the more people join in the fastest and more this chance gets to others! Without us growing this could have not reached you and we would have probably stopped long ago if we didn't find support!
We see that you also posted a remake for this game, we will do our best to find time to play-test that too as soon as possible!
Note: This is a one man-band, meaning I am working by myself, only using "we" for formality! It is really hard for me since my teamate left me! I hope you will be patient with me to get back to you with your remake game!
Here is the video:
Thanks for letting me know, I will try to remember next time as I thought I posted somewhere else. I guess it was a different person. I didn't remember that I could check my community posts on my profile before (or maybe that post was before I knew how) as this was my first Ren'Py game and a start to developing games without Scratch. Thanks again for both replying and playing the game, and have a good day(:
Totally understood! No worries, thank you for being kind and nice! Thank you for wishing me a good day, that is nice to hear, I hope for you a better day.
Stay motivated, keep up the good work, you will get graditude and all what wish for with time, just give time some time!
Also, here are some explanations for things wrong with the game. If I forget to list one, I may have forgot (or fixed it in the sequel).
Background re-use: rooms often look similar or the same in video games, so it makes it more game-like and obvious.
Game closing when you ask Kitsune for help: just a jumpscare
Music fading out: I don't know how to make soundtracks for a game, so I use public domain music. I did, however, make some remixes in the remake/sequel (you don't have to play it because it was intended to be a paid DLC, chose to make it free but left the about page the same as an Easter egg).
Sudden horror elements: the reason why it's tagged as "horror" and has that warning. If you were to continue the game and not save everyone (you got the good ending first try, good job by the way!) you'd get the neutral ending or bad ending depending on what you do, but don't worry about making a part 2, as the good ending was replaced with a different good ending in the sequel, and those scenes are certain to happen.
No sound effects: there are sound effects, but not a lot. There are more in the sequel.
Thanks for reading and again, have a nice day, Makenzie.
Hey Makanzie. Thank you so much for all the explanations! I hope people read these here when they see your gameplay walkthrough video!
And thank you for wishing me a nice day, I was having tough times lately! It means a lot to me. I wish you a great day and better days to come, espacially with making games! Practice makes improvement, that is what I learned from doing YouTube and each time I look back I see how much I was bad XD. I hope you take this same approach with making more games in the future: There is always room for improvements.
I did a gameplay video for your remake game, the same time you posted your explanations here. Just took me time to upload it.
You don't need to watch it because there is nothing new from what I mentioned before except that in your texts, the letter " i " looks a bit like the letter " l "
Again, thank you for all and have a good day Makanzie.
Thanks for playing the sequel! The font I chose was a bit bold, but hopefully the context of each word helps with whether it's an l or i. If you look at the bottom of the screen, there's a skip button for parts you've passed, so if you want to get other endings, you can use that. If you pick anything except for asking Kitsune for help, you will get a much longer story. (unless you pick the wrong choice when you get to talk to Kitsune. So you can save there.) After that, there are 2 main stories depending on who you think the villain is. So you can save there, too. There's more of a fantasy/magic theme in the added parts, so I hope you enjoy it. (the original ended when you talked to Kitsune if you get the bad or neutral ending) You don't need to record these other endings, it's only if you want to look deeper into the story. Thanks for playing the game, thanks for reading this, and have an amazing day (and holidays!)
Oh, and I will be working on future projects more than Kitsune. Unless it really succeeds. If it gets popular, I might make a side story with the new characters(:
I wish for you all the best with your future projects. If you need someone to playtest your games (even during development where you have to keep it private) just contact me. I will be glad to help anyone who need help, as long as I am capable!
It has been a pleasure and reading your messages shows me that you are a good person! Keep up the good work and let us see your next game.
