holy. moly. please put yourself first. sending all the love to you!!! my goodness! im so sorry you had to go through any of that! :(
we, and i, appreciate your work and you very much hence i hope you return to good health again. and im sorry for your grandfather’s passing, i hope you’re doing okay!
thank you so much for what you’ve done and im so happy that you’ve come so far. im an atheist but i pray to all the gods that everything works out for you
Thank you so much for the great reply!
I appreciate your animated illustrations as they’re gorgeous, FR
hopefully Nelli’s name can be changeable later? i understand the art! Still, cool game
Hopefully in later endings and scenes we have a Raku POV, and whether his species is rampant in this universe!
Perhaps in the writing, a small flashback scene of their dating life showing Nelli not seeing Raku’s true self and being frastrated would be nice. At first it felt like Nelli was being unreasonable.
thats why maybe a little “even tho i cried to him, i realised i know nothing about this guy and i hated it, i want authenticity” would be cool. and overtime in the ‘good’ endings Nelli gets the authenticity she needs for a good relationship in her POV.
ALSOO, a POV from raku? to explain his obsession, how he views Nelli (depending on the endings, like an animal, like his saviour, like his lover, etc….). also to show his origins!!!!
TYSM!!!
I love the game!! I just wish there was an option to change the MC’s name. Although I love the diversity of the MC as well, a little freedom of skin tone/hair would be nice :)
Spoilers At first, I didn’t understand why Nelli avoided and disliked Raku so much if their time together was nice. Then I realised Nelli was a little misinformed… Wonder if there’s any more depth on Raku’s transformation?
hi @dawnogaymer!! from my experience as a kocho user, people won’t be able to play this game unless they have Kocho and import/play from there.
For now, there isn’t an option to play Kocho games on any PCs/laptops, so redeveloping the game on engines like Ren’Py would be the better choice.
^supports windows, macOS, linux, android and ios. (ofc, there are more options but renpy’s popular)
so yeah! hope we get to see your game there :)
Hey, sorry for the late reply, but yeah. The terms of this jam are incredibly loose and @Nekpane_Interactive’s examples would be considered isekai.
The first two are like an NPC waking up and becoming a person. The last would be isekai, but not reincarnation (requires death in our world).
And yes, as @CSVidal said, isekai in fantasy worlds are also considered isekai :)
Sorry for the extremely long wait, travelling held me up and honestly, I’m just glad to have participants here (which I didn’t expect!) - Excited for the submissions!
And to answer @Living VideoGame Music Composer‘s question, no, I haven’t made a discord because the maintenance/experience that’s required for a functional one is difficult for me right now. However, a community discord is openly encouraged!
If one’s made, I’ll add it on the home page.
Absolutely amazing game!
The idea of using reruns was really cool, actually, and I still have no idea how you did that (nevermind, was it by using ‘persistent’? Guessing.)
But the true ending really shocked me. After a few months, I still think about it time to time. This morning I thought while throwing my trash, “What gift would I want and what would I wanna switch it with?” with a string of related thoughts.
Overall, love your game. You made some impactful stuff, here, although sometimes I got bored and thought, “Wait, is this it?” and BAM, true ending.
Edit: Wait, 6 years ago…? Damn I ain’t never getting a reply bahaha
WHO-HO-HO!!! You really hit it off on this one, Aspen!
I loved the plot and characters. Although the writing had typos and was a bit monotone in the beginning, the kidnapping section was written better!
I just wish there was an option to surrender yourself to da bois. Or maybe yk make the revenge thing a choice instead of the MC always wanting to leave.
My stockholm syndrome preference in fiction is quite obvious here XD
