Hi! I played the old version as well as the new version and if ur not looking for feedback you don't have to read this. But I thought I would share just in case :D
Take this with a grain of salt though, I have no idea what your vision for this project is
First off I love and adore the art style and the whole concept of the game, I really enjoy the aesthetic and will like probably pay for it when it comes out fully!!! I do like the calmer pastel palette better the old version, but the new version is like just as good :D
The new version is quite a bit of reading. There's a lot of text that isn't dialogue that feels like it could be accomplished with just a sprite/expression change. And it goes into so much detail, I feel like I am being bombarded with paragraphs first thing. Having the name on top of the dialog box and also saying "Eri said" seems redundant., I just feel a lot of potential comes from sprite/expression changes, conveying things through art but it feels criminally underused. The new version feels like I'm reading a book, while the old version felt like I was actively being B. :D
The prologue is not bad, but I hope the actual game will be more interactive like the demo. Also idk if the UI is just like this in the prologue, but it feels very boxy and stoic, and overall the game feels more harsh than the old version but again I'm don't know what your vision is :D
I mean these words in the kindest way possible!!! theres like smaller very tiny issues too but i'll save you the reading -_-. Good luck on the game! Might donate to the kickstarter if my boss ever decides to pay me >:P... But yeah amazing game so far!!!!!! I hope this did not come across as unwarranted or rude.
