It would be fairly straightforward to do in any game engine that supports 3D which even Ren'Py does (though rarely utilised)

These are good ideas!

Ideally, the entire game would use a proper chat-sim interface so that you could go back and see previous chats/emails.

Then, to give hints in case an incompatible game is chosen, they could at least say "I don't like [genre here] games." rather than the generic line. Even better, each VTuber would have entirely separate bad-ending routes over a much longer game loop that would more naturally help you manage their lives and career on top of the main story.

As you can imagine, this scope is far too large to accomplish in a month-long game jam but *if* I did revisit this concept in the future I would consider it.

For now, I can only offer a "hack" solution and that would be to save the game during the recruitment screen so you could go back to it. If you just want 100% completion then you can look at my reply below which says "STREAM MECHANIC SPOILERS BELOW". In any case, you would still be able to finish the main story.

Again, I appreciate you taking the time to make your comment and I pretty much agree with you completely but due to scheduling and creative interest, I would rather remake the entire game than make new updates 😅

yes!

Life is cruel and sometimes every choice you make feels like it's the wrong one.

Nonetheless, I believe in their futures, no matter where they end up.

This had such an immersive atmosphere and the story pulls you in with a touching mystery. Also, I love how you can play with the little lights floating about.

Strength build is the best and I don't have enough brain to say otherwise.

Hi, this is Justinn! I like your suggestion and I would consider adding a search bar to the stream scheduler if I wasn't so busy right now :(

For now, if you want to quickly cycle through the random games, you can spam the return button without having to select a new game.

There's only three game genres (horror, action, and romance) so at any point there should be more than enough games to assign the right one to each VTuber. This only affects their side-stories so even if you get this wrong the main plot will continue as there are no dead ends.

Meeli's actually a freebie so any game will work with her but now you're wondering why there's only 3 genres if you can hire 4 different VTubers; well sometimes it doesn't matter how hard one works they will always fail :(

Yeah, it must have been your imagination🙃

It's a fun headscratcher with a clear atmosphere but I wish it were a bit more obvious what keyword actions Adam can take because it can be a bit annoying to get him to do what you want.

Animation! 💖

That was a fun detective sleuthing game with a really sweet story. The UI is so fun and charming!

I would've sent you the vod of me streaming the game but I'm an idiot and didn't set it up properly.

Very cool indeed.

Yep, this is a full experience. The features listed on this page are what's included in the current build.

Yes. The Mac build is the download named osx and has the apple logo next to it. You may need to control-click the .app and open it manually which is a common problem for Ren'Py games on Mac.

Don't let your first impressions of the graphics dissuade you from playing this game. It's actually quite well done almost like a movie in its presentation.

A complete game experience with some excellent voice acting.

This game has so much style and attitude I could sense it from the thumbnail alone.

Nice job on the visual storytelling. It really adds to the atmosphere.

A fun scavenger hunt with some funny paths to go down. Good job on the effects and the music was very immersive.

Hi I made this for Otome Jam last year so I have no idea what's going wrong with my old code. Really sorry!

Only thing I can think to do is to look at your previous/auto saves to see if one of them gets you out of the loop.
