I appreciate getting a bit more insight into the backstop of Moonlight Castle. I'm not fully up-to-date on the most recent releases, as my reading time has been a bit more limited lately (funny how when you work making assets for visual novels, it's a bit harder to find time to enjoy them), however I do know how these main characters relate to the story.
I like the sprites here, and am impressed at the number of poses and expressions they do have, considering the time limit of the jam. Of course, I also realize why Patrice wore the same outfit to the party that he went to the gym in...š
I feel like the story was just a bit too long and drawn out in some places given the scope... I notice that many times, developers of longer vns tend to have this issue when working on shorter jam stories, either trying to fit too many elements within the story, or having trouble keeping a narrow focus on a single issue.
That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it, though! It gave a new perspective on Patrice and Liam; their characters feel a bit different to me here than in MC, but I also feel that it's intentionally so... we change a bit with time, and depending who we interact with (though Liam is still definitely a little gremlin. š )
Thr overall vibes are a bit different than MC as well, but again, I don't think that's a bad thing either... the focus is on a different character, after all.
Your team does a great job, and it's been a pleasure watching you come together and grow. I hope you continue to do more and greater things in the future!
