Ok sweet little idea for a Gameboy game. never thought of doing a visual novel type thing.

Deep Dive RescueI really loved the art! I'm also really impressed with how well the dialogue was written and wonder if GBStudio ever gave you a hard time with randomly shifting lines down after you finished typing them. I know I had to go back through a lot of dialogue to make sure it was being displayed properly. Great game either way!

About TanakaCallisto Robin is VERY happy to hear that you loved his art!
Luckily for me, GBStudio didn't give me too much of hard time of dialogue shifting, but it did happen nonetheless.
If interested, why the story looked so smooth and high quality, I took narratology classes at the university and know tricks - I can recommend you to check a book to inspire you "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and images on the Internet "A heroe's journey". I have followed the patterns from both.
Thank you for playing our game <333!
Awww, sad to see you've got bad ending!
And thank you, it was annoying to work on it, but at near end of development, I have figured out I could have made it 50 times faster by creating everything still as background, but face expressions would be sprites. INSTEAD, I did everything as background - hence a lot of shifts inbetween scenes. A lot of headache with GIMP on my end and my artist's too. However, we have made it c:. If not the fact I had had the issue, I would have made much longer story. But well, I am happy with the result <3.
Thank you for playing!
I love the characters (especially the "1+1" teacher :DD). Nice VN :)
