THIS IS AWESOME!! i love the flower stuff and the colors and the music and the characters and the implications of what the story is about. You did a really good job!! I'm looking forward to the full release :D
Good luck on the project! <3
oh thank you so much! I am so honored! I'm pleased to announce release date has been decided and i'll be announcing it soon :D
Hands down one of the best games I've played on here. Cannot wait to experience the full world and am so glad I found this game!!
Thank you so much for your support! I'm honored. Fingers crossed for release this year!:D
Hi, just trying out the demo and I am loving it for the most part, but I think I have a bug? Every few seconds in the game I get a pop-up "Loading Error: Failed to load: audio/se/Cursor2.ogg" with a "Retry" button. Hitting that button makes the pop-up disappear for a few seconds before it shows up again. I can provide screenshots if necessary.
Hi, I've uploaded a fix for this. Is it working now? I couldn't replicate this issue on my end.
Yes, it's working perfectly, thank you so much for the prompt reply!! Can't wait to properly play the game :)
seriously this game is one of the best I've played recently:>
Can't wait for full version!!!
oh dear! thank you so much! this really means the world to me. i hope the full version lives up to your expectations!!
this has a really neat vibe. i can't say i understood it but i'm interested to see where it goes! the purchasable items seem superfluous- they're all healing items or equipment, and the single fight is more of a story event. seems like the kind of game that doesn't need a combat system to me, but maybe it'll be more involved in the full game?
thank you so much for playing! and yes, the combat is intended to be very light and was a bit experimental for me. i'd like to make it a bit more refined in the full game. the store items i'd also like to add more purpose to in the final ver of the game as well! this gives me much to think about. thank you so much again!
