Hey all, composer looking for a team! You can check out some of my previous work here:

Discord: markknappjr#9545

Hey there, I sincerely appreciate your comments!

Yes, I would absolutely call this an experimental little passion project. It's always nice when something like this resonates with others, even if just a bit. The music comment was all I needed lol.

Thank you for playing my game, and thank you for the time you spent on your review- very valid points, articulated very well! Have a great day!

Thank you so much- very appreciated! I've always been a fan of doing this like that. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's enjoyable every now and then! Glad you enjoyed!

Hey Snails! I'm American, but know un peu French! We have less than 7 hours, but I wouldn't mind trying my hand at a track or two!

My Discord is either markknappjr#9545 or markalanknappjr. Not sure if you add people using the old numbers or the new names lol. Hit me up!

Unfortunately no- but there's plenty of other jams!

Hey mox!

No- I do not have an idea myself. Just looking to see if anyone had any interest in creating something nice, sweet, and short- but with 22 hours left it looks like everyone is already set!

Hey all!

My name is Mark, and I'm a college instructor who has scored roughly a dozen games. Looking to add a few more to my portfolio- please reach out if you'd like me to join your project!

Looking forward to helping bring a personal touch to your game musically! :)

I'd be down to join a team- I'm a composer and sound effect artist!

Hey Bits Blitz teams! Just wanted to see if any of the teams would like a composer for their game. :D Please let me know- I'd love to work on a new project!

Here's an example of a previous game I've done.

Thank you for playing "our" game- very appreciated <3 Glad you enjoyed it as well! :)

Hello- thank you so much for playing my game! I'm glad you enjoyed my short little story hehe :) Now, while Melanie would NOT like me to tell you this...

In the "game" folder that looks like the image attached- that's where you should put the text file. It's a bit different to get to on Mac VS PC, so if you're still having trouble, let me know your OS and I'll help out some more!

LET'S GOOOOOO! :D

Glad you got it to work! Just a little Easter egg :)

LOL! Thank you for playing it, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Please feel free to analyze the code! :)

100%, please feel free to! I am by no means an expert coder, so some of what I've done can be rewritten better, but please feel free to reverse engineer and dissect what I have! Also, please feel free to send me any games you make, I'd love to see them! :)

Hi Hai! Yes, I did. I used royalty free assets for the visual elements, and wrote the story and music myself :)

Ahh! Thank you so much punniiyan! Glad you enjoyed it <3

Melancholy Marionette (LOVE the name btw!!), thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed both parts to the game, and Melanie and I both appreciate your time! X3

Thank you, Eufasy! I think you're the first person to have, at least, mentioned the "imnotsorry" bit of the game- thanks! It was a stray thought I had that seemed like it would be really cool to implement- having this character address you by your computer's name, much like Monika in Doki Doki. It's my favorite part of the whole game, but not Mel's... ;)

Thank you again- with the response I've gotten, maybe I will have to flesh the game out a bit more...

This was such a fun play through! The art, the voice acting, the story... absolutely brilliant! Really loved the "Roko's Baskalisk" reference! Great job!! :)

Hi Camden, thank you for the comment! Although, I believe you might have posted under the wrong game! Don't worry, it happens to everyone XD

Thank you regardless!

CrazyCowLady (LOVE the name btw!), thank you! With the two Ren'py games I've made, I made the decision to learn something new each project. The UI is definitely next on my list, for the next VN I work on! :) As for the quitting aspect, it is most definitely weird! My goal with this game was more so uneasiness- it's not a "game", it's a story after all. And Melanie HATES when people try to disrupt her story ;)

Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed! :D

Hey, thank you so much! Indeed, I'm glad my writing worked out the way I wanted! :)

Much thanks on the score! I'd love to discuss composing for any of your upcoming projects- feel free to contact me at markknappjr@gmail.com! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for covering my game BackgroundN0ise! It really means a lot! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Potat0Master, thank you so much for these backgrounds! I utilized one of them for my latest VN, my first game jam submission! I have linked it below if you'd like to check it out, and I have credited you. Thank you again!

Very cool art style! While I don't think it's my type of game as a gamer personally, I really like what I've seen and read about it! I tried downloading the Mac version, but for some reason it keeps failing when I try opening it. Just thought you should know for trouble shooting purposes! :)

Sutemo, thank you so much for this asset! Using your character, I was able to bring my vision to life for an EXTREMELY short psychological horror VN that I entered into my first game jam. Thank you so much for uploading this free character!

Link for my game if you'd like to see Melanie :) :

This is such a cool game! Not too often you see noir done in the modern age- and done so well! Great job, really enjoyed it! :)

Hey Z9- this is AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for the play through video! I was planning on making one, but since you did, I'll make sure to link people to it. Thank you so much- what an unexpected surprise!
