I AM RATING THESE ALL THESE JAM SUBMISSIONS RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER. THERE ARE HIGH HIGHS AND LOW LOWS BUT PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS TOO PERSONALLY, AFTERALL, WE ALL ONLY HAD A MONTH.
Implementation of Theme (2):
I didn’t understand the implementation of the theme for this one at first but when the creator said it was “expanding of forgiveness” in clicked but didn’t click that much.
Story (1):
It was nice getting to slowly know each of the wolves backstories but I feel like the MC’s could have had more of a presence when he conversed with the wolves. These prisoners were given a lot of luxury compared to the 6 person apartment I was living in during the start of the Jam.
Presentation (1):
It is very hard for me to forgive a VN for having absolutely no music at all. The sprites were nice but considering everything that happened to Lupus McCarthy, I had to knock off a whole point for that.
Creativity (2):
This was one of the few submissions that had multiple routes and unlike Tuning Out which was a split or Cruisin’ for Love… and murder which had a lot of smaller choices, this one did feel like you were given meaningful choices.
Total (6):
Oh, boy. The first VN of the Jam to be struck with controversy. I honestly don’t know why I was so namby-pamby with this VN’s controversy. Probably because it was the first and I didn’t know how many controversies I would have to deal with during this Jam. lol
But I’m glad that I was able to settle everything mostly privately.
Anyways, back to this Jam Rating.
I still need to check out a lot of your other art but I feel like you should have gone all the way with something up your alley. Like whenever I see your Mecha art, all I’m remined of is how ICO: ML is canceled and will never come back. Perhaps, someone will come along and what to do something like that VN with you.
