Congrats on finishing your first game! This was such a neat concept; the idea of reincarnating as a game mechanic would make for a lot of interesting branching options in a VN. Id love to see a longer version of the game! If you have time, we'd love to hear what you think of our submission and get feedback on our characters. I totally get what you mean about wanting to focus story building but having to buckle down and learn new programs. We're still relatively new to Game maker so our story was a bit limited because we focused on game mechanics but we tried to add in some extra dialogue to help the characters feel more interesting. https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3933344

thank you! you are definitely right, building this out with branching paths and more possibilities could potentially take this from 'interesting idea' to 'cool experience,' I think.
glad I'm not the only one who was learning as I went, sounds like you had a very similar experience! gaaah I want to rate yours but I can't run the game since I am on a linux machine, I'm so sorry. but screenshots alone look SO impressive oh my gosh, that is a tasty art style and well designed menu screen. best of luck to your and all your projects ;v;
