Aaaah! A pretty good idea to go the VN route! It can link to your fic too so anyone from the game jam will be able to find your fic. Will get it a ton of views and kudos then~
Good luck on the game jam!!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know the game is released now! XD (It's actually been out for a few days, but I wanted to wait to let you know until the rest of the placeholder art was swapped out for the final art.) The artist I asked to step in and help out with the additional poses really went all-out! (I ended up using a lot of your other sprites blanked into silhouettes for the extras, too...though I'm not sure LXC would be pleased to have been used for Wen Mao's silhouette...)
Anyway, if you'd like to check it out, my game is at https://pyrrhaiphis.itch.io/orchid-duet
So glad to hear the sprites helped! 🥰 Pretty clever too, to use silhouettes to make up for extras - helps give the game background more depth while also focusing on important characters (the non-blanked out ones)! I hadn't thought of doing that before- might borrow the idea from you if I ever need "fodder" sprites quickly. Drawing multiple randos just to speak one or two lines each is so unnecessary 😖
