Thanks! I only saw your comment now, I was busy drawing that other character that I just added.

Thanks a lot, I am happy you liked the game! :) I'll be watching the video you made :D

And I almost forgot to answer your question, no the story is pretty much the same I think for all the characters.

Played the game until the end and wishing you the best in the Jam. The game itself is not super hard and fits the theme for the Jam in my opinion. 

Thanks for the nice feed back :D

After playing the game, I must say the idea is interesting and I liked the assets you used. The menu got me confused for a second, because it was in chinese but the game was definitely in english. The Flow of the story maybe needs more pointers so people can understand what to do exactly. Finally, for the traductions, you might need to consider a better tool because most of the texts are confusing. I don't know of many tools but DeepL seems to be the best one. I am happy you made this game and it could use some polish but as a fellow "detective conan" fan, you got my support, I am sure you will get better.

You got me interested at "Konan" then I saw he was a detective,  just for that you get my 5 stars! Gonna try the game right away if I manage to download it at work.

Hello, thanks a lot for the helpful feedback! I will take my time polisihing it and I learned a lot from your expertise. English is my third language so I need to put extra efforts on it for my next projects, I know grammar is really important but I tend to get confused with similar words in English and French.

There is a bug in the game where when you receive a certain item a text box keeps appearing, to avoid it, please take the coffer on the left at the start of the game before heading to the right (That should do the trick). This issue and many others will be adddressed after the Jam, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

This is a good small game, I like the title screen, the music and the graphics. The gameplay and the story are simple with a few jokes here and there.  The lack of indications will make you run around a little but I managed to finish the game after a short while. The game looks great in general but might benefit from more gameplay. You can get above the well at the witch's house by going on the small tree. Another thing is I would have liked being able to access the options in the menu.

Nice work!

Thanks for the Feed back Hawk! I really appreciate it! I think I corrected some of that in the update but I might also have added a few other problems lol (Not sure).

Congrats to the winners and to everyone who participated!

I did everything I could for that version of the game, in the contest version of MZ, with the experience I had. I plan a new version in the future and I hope it will meet my newly found expectations.

The game jam taught me a lot and gave me a lot of ideas, I hope I can do more when I will really get MZ.

I'll be releasing a better version next week too.

I wish I had more experience but that can change from now on.

Wow, I really respect your dedication to game making (and you tried all the games too, right?)! It's really nice to share all this!

Hello! Thanks for all the tips! After submitting this game to the jam, I still had a few days to work on it and most of the things that you said (not all of it unfortunately) was added to the upgrade. I do not have access to MZ anymore so I am considering starting over in MV for a longer and better version of the game.

I don't know if I can share what has been added in the upgrade because it might influence the judging but there is quite a few changes.

About Moon in the jam version, if you decide to rest, he actually says "it was just a joke" and he doesn't actually charge for it. There is another way to heal yourself by going back to Sun.

I didn't know what to do about the SFX at that time, but at least in the upgrade, not all the sounds will start at 100% in the option menu. (I think it's ok to share that)

I couldn't add more URI illustrations because it would take me 3 or 4 days to make one (If I am only working on that), but I will add more in the future. I actually took the first week (and maybe 2 or 3 more days) of the jam to work on the face set, the walking sprite, etc... With no time constraint, I can go all out (Well life happens too but I can give it my all).

For the last boss, I felt like it was a necessary challenge... I agree, maybe too challenging. The player is somehow cruising through the game all the way to the end without ever seeing a game over. Since it was the final boss (almost at the one-hour mark), I felt the game kinda needed that so the player appreciates the ending more (because it is a short story, a short game). The narrator kinda hints to how challenging it is and how to beat it by adopting a more defensive approach. For that one, in the upgrade,  I didn't nerf him but I gave the player a way to ease through that fight.

I am really happy that you enjoyed it because it is actually my first attempt at really creating a game. I had MV for a while but I was just playing with it for a month or two, and then just left it there.

Thanks again for all the feed back, I am actually competing alone against teams of devs in this Game jam so I don't want to get my hopes up but having a judge say that the game could be a skeleton for a commercial one it 's just amazing and already rewarding enough for that one month worth of work.

I just saw the video on twitch, thanks for streaming it!

This is an amazing entry!

Visually it's stunning! I was curious when I tried it because of the idea of "creativity" and "emotions" and I learned a lot from trying your game.

Thanks for the feed back.

The only "bug" (really it was just a stupid mistake that I only found after submitting)  that could break the end was the statues trigger.  I guess that is why you experienced all that in the ending part. I really hoped nobody would notice the cat but yeah it was also something I only noticed later. Those two, I think I already addressed in the second version of the game so the ending will work as intended. (I wish I could share it right away but no one would play the original version if I do that)

The shower is only there to let you know that you do something in there. You are right I should have put a text saying " I already took a shower today" or something.

For the blinds, It's something I wanted to do, to show visually that it's the night instead of just adding a dark filter on the screen. I think I could have put a text on that, saying she claps and then it closes maybe but I didn't think much about that one.

Really ? the credit rolled pretty fast? hmmm that is strange...I looked at Hawkzombie's stream and it looked alright? maybe another bug from the bad trigger?

When you say the light skill, you mean exposure? I didn't mean for people to get that skill but I forgot to take it out of the game.

About the ending, I am sorry you couldn't experience it the right way. if you are still willing to play it again, please don't trigger the statues more than once. There is actually another boss at the end.

I am giving you the link to Hawkzombie's stream and his video on youtube if you just want to watch it instead. He starts streaming it in the video around 2:22:00 or something.

For the Deviantart thing I addressed that in the game too by adding another secret shared by a npc with another reward (in the v2) but people can still open the safe if they find it on the site.

Thanks again for the feedback! I can't actually work on it anymore because MZ is not free anymore but I think the next version is doing it almost right, (I still forgot about the exposure skill.) but Thanks a lot for playing it and sharing your thoughts.

Hello again, I was wondering if it is possible to know at what round of the judging process the judges are, as we wait for the final results?

Not saying which games passed or not for every round of course, but to have a general idea of how it's going.

Thanks, I am not a professional artist but I like working on my drawing skills as a hobby.

This game jam appeared out of nowhere when I just finished designing the main character hahaha. my first idea for her was some kind of animation, but making a game instead was really thrilling.

Thanks a lot, I checked the video. I am still improving the game, with things I had in mind, but I'll be adding that skip tutorial choice you suggested. I still have a few days on MZ before the contest version expires and feed back like that really helps.

I'll check your game and the other games in the jam next week maybe.

Thanks! I am happy you like it!

Thanks for making this jam happen, I'll still be working on updates for this game as long as MZ is free because this endeavor kinda lighted the path of the gamedev for me.

Regardless of the results, I'll bring up a better version of the game at the end of the Jam when all the winners are known.

Best of luck to everyone! 

Hello, I uploaded the game but I don't know which option to check, Draft, Restricted or public?

Can I reupload another file if I sill have some time for modifications?

Hello, I see no country restrictions in the rules so anyone from anywhere can apply right?
