this is very sweet, in the 10 minutes of gameplay i could definitely feel the love you've had for your ocs for 10 years!! :3
the whole stuff is mindblowing and very creative I love it so much Hon!! 😭💖💖 and don't worry, growing up is scary as hell, you're not alone in this, being scared of it doesn't make you lame. Let's face it together and keep struggling with life ueueue *sending hugs for u* again, great game!!
Tysm for playing!!! And for the words of encouragement 🥹🙏 let's do our best in life!!!1!1! 🫡🫡🫡🫂
I don't have much to say so uh... Neat!
Thank you XD👍
I really enjoyed playing this VN!! I absolutely love your type of humor, so I was giggling a LOT while playing, haha (like the RPG Maker music in the beginning nearly took me out).
Overall, I think this a very lovely project! Seeing you figure out the engine (in kinda real-time?) was actually also inspiring (I learned some new things about Renpy as well lol)
The voice-acting part was the biggest surprise though!! (Biggest surprise as in "How do u sound so good while using a normal phone????")
Interacting with your OCs is just such a fun concept and I think you incorporated it just wonderfully!! The "good end" of this VN-test was also pretty heartwarming :') I'm def looking forward to whatever story you've planned to make in Renpy next!!!
Omg sorry I forgot to reply to this!! Thanks so much for your very nice comment! To hear this esp for such a pro in VNs..... I'm flattered! ;; I'm glad this unserious ""game"" was able to make people smile hahah X"D
And psst, I use Bandlab to edit my audio recorded on phone, it's nice 🏃♂️💨
I enjoyed this little game so much. It woke up a need of making a VN with my children OC (maybe for the O2A2?)
Also I would like to ask where did you find the music? And which engine did you use before?
Thanks so much for playing!!! <3
For the music I literally searched "overused royalty free music" on youtube XD The rest I got from various places on the internet (the music credit is in "about")
And I used RPG Maker MV before this!
I need whatever you ate to be this funny omg i might have laughed too much... i love everything about this! The silly meta interactions made me laugh multiple times HAHAHAHA didn't expect hon and honami would bicker so much!
I immediately lost it when the classic RPGM music plays and it just gets worse help 😭 broccoli hon best hon btw /j Love the part when honami said i love you to hiro, he got all flustered then they immediately went "yeah not canon btw" like aw poor guy! I like the voice acting bit too, very cute <3
And boy oh boy that ending hit me like a truck man i wasn't prepared for that 😭 now i'm also conscious about my life... This was a really fun experience, great job!!
I ate... Rice 🍚✨
Thanks so much for your comment aaaaa I kept smiling while reading it I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Sorry not sorry for the ending 🏃♂️💨
Super cute! I love the art, and there were a lot of really funny moments that made me laugh (like the DIY music convo, or the background on Dramon's name, lol). And some thoughtful stuff in there too. You can really feel the love that comes with having treasured these OCs for so long.
I think for using Renpy for the first time, you did a really good job! I'll definitely check out some of your other VNs. The Dramon conversation was successful advertising haha.
Thanks a lot!! I'm glad the jokes and the feelings stuff delivered! :)
I'm glad the shameless promotion delivered too even though it was really shameless lol XD
fantastic. mindblowing. wonderful.
I feel inspired. This is the best thing I've seen today. Thank you for showing this project to the world. I will randomly think of this in the middle of the night someday for sure. 10/10 would recommend
i might sound overenthusiastic but im genuinely having Feelings about this
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH not gonna lie couldn't believe myself that someone said such a nice comment for a test game 🥹 I'm truly grateful!! 🙏
