Ahh, man, I've FINALLY played something of yours! I keep seeing some of your posts on Twitter and thinking it all looks amazing, but I never allow myself much time to actually play games these days >.< I really need to make time to actually check out your main game, haha.
Anything that promises shenanigans up the wazoo is bound to be brilliant, and you certainly delivered x3 This was both adorable and hilarious. I just popped it on auto, kicked back with a coffee, and had an absolute blast ^-^ There's so much going on all the time that it was like watching a whacky movie, haha.
So yeah, epic really! I don't know what else to say x3 Other than I love everything about it :P Awesome job <3
Oh, I did encounter a bit of a bug, but I'm not really sure what would be causing it >.< Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I was playing the 64bit windows version, and sometimes when hitting the return buttons from the options menu while on the title screen, instead of loading up the title screen, it just went completely black. The music was playing, I just couldn't see or do anything. I did it a few times after restarting the game just to try and get more info to be able to describe it to you, and it weirdly seemed to only happen about 50% of the time! And I also did it a few times during gameplay just to see if it happened there too, but nope, literally just randomly on the title screen. It wasn't a problem because it was easy enough to close and restart. I probably wouldn't even have come across it at all if I hadn't opened up the options immediately just to quickly up the auto and text speeds + lower the music volume a tiny bit.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR PLAYING AND FOR YOUR LOVELY WORDS 😭💕
"I never allow myself much time to actually play games these days" --> I FEEL THIS. The last few months have been a whirlwind of stuff and I've barely had the chance to play any games at all. So I'm glad I finally can take a small respite to just dive into a whole bunch for once!
Oh, my gosh, and thank you for letting me know about this bug! What a strange bug... 🤔 I will try to investigate it! I'm at least glad it only shows up sometimes under specific conditions, but I just hope it's something I can actually figure out what's going on and be able to fit (I am admittedly not the best when it comes to coding and debugging GUHHH). Thank you for pointing it out so I can go try and figure this out!!! 💕
Thank YOU for making such a fun and creative game ^-^
Yeah, spooktober is one of the few times in the year where I can actually sit and read a bunch of VNs without feeling super guilty about it! >.< I can get away with the occasional session of Pokemon or something without my evil brain bothering me, but most games I try to play I just wind up feeling bad cos my brain starts going, why are ya playing this, huh? You're spose to be making stuff! Makes it so hard to just relax and enjoy playing Vns T_T It's like my hobby of making em has largely killed my hobby of playing em and I don't really know how to fix that, haha.
It is a really weird bug x3 I sure as heck wouldn't know how to fix it, haha. I wouldn't worry about it too much though cos it wasn't exactly hard to work around. I get random stuff like that pop up in my games all the time where I can't replicate it on my end, but one person will come across it, flag it, and then I'm just like T_T I have no idea how to fix this! There is one in the extras that some of the team found in our games where sometimes the artist's sketches display at the correct size and position on the screen when you open em, and sometimes they don't, but then they fix themselves o.O I dunno wtf is going on with that, haha. So I stand no chance of fixing it >.< If the code says display X image at X size at X position on the screen, and it does that successfully most of the time, why on earth would it occasionally decide not to do that? I'm sure someone who knows code well would have the answers, but I sure don't x3
"why are ya playing this, huh? You're spose to be making stuff! Makes it so hard to just relax and enjoy playing Vns" --> I FEEL THIS EXACTLY. Like any down time that I have (where I'm not working or eating or doing necessary RL stuff) I always end up feeling guilty if I'm not doing at least something related to dev work hahaha. But yeah I have really sat myself down this time and am not letting myself restart dev work for at least a week after the submission deadline and so I've finally been able to allow myself to just sit back and enjoy a bunch of games, and I've loved it so much 💕
"If the code says display X image at X size at X position on the screen, and it does that successfully most of the time, why on earth would it occasionally decide not to do that?" --> THIS SOUNDS INCREDIBLY HEINOUS I am so sorry hahahaha oh gosh. I swear half the time I feel like I'm starting to really get the hang of Ren'Py then something will just come along to remind me that I still have such a long ways to go LOL Sometimes the bugs that turn up feel so absolutely random and unexplainable...💦
Seems to be a curse a fair few indie devs share >.< haha. I guess we should all be kinder to ourselves, but that's so haaaard x3
It's cos of this that my gaming backlog is now horrifically gigantic xD I still haven't even finished Mass Effect Andromeda, and I started that heck knows how long ago now >.<"
I'm glad you're allowing yourself the chance to play some stuff now though :3 We all definitely deserve a break and some time actually gaming instead of deving after all the hard work everyone has put into Spooktober jam!
Yeeeah, I'm the same at this point with Nani. Every time I finally think I've got stuff down, something else comes along and screws me completely x3 there's so much I still don't know to the point that it's ridiculous, haha.
