Ash and Liam's portraits were drawn earlier but this was an accident.

Also for consistency reasons, some of the voices and small icons and whatnot were copied from earlier games.

I LOVED the cool walk trick, I want to learn how you did that one day!

This was very nice, and I loved the writing!  I enjoyed the music a bunch, especially the lyre tunes, and it was a fun lil slice of life experience!

HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS IN RENPY

Developer

oh i simply ported the fox flux physics, sprite, and map-loading code to python.  obviously

Submitted

There's a lot of polish and attention to detail in this game! Icons, custom menus, font choices, different speech sounds for everyone, all do a lot of work in making the presentation feel specific and personal. Some speech sounds felt a bit too elaborate, but they do make the characters they're associated with uniquely distinct. The phone offers a really cool bit of lore flavor to set the stage and adds a new perspective to reflect on what happens in the story. I like the small but eventful space the game takes place in, and how narrative branches can happen even by approaching everyone in a different order! All of the art is beautiful, the environment and whimsically colorful cast are immediately eye-catching, they get players to start thinking about what interacting with everyone could be like even before the exploration section starts. There's a huge variety of portraits and detailed closeups for any actions that are happening, they do a lot to keep things lively and fun even if what's happening is quite chill!

The graphics and writing were nice it was good realistic and funny writing. Was wild to see how much plot and interesting writing came out of listening to the 2 people talking on a bench and getting caught listening to them..

Extremely polished work here and I agree that there's some wizardry at work here with how you break ren'py in some very incredible ways. I'm kind of a stranger to a lot of these kinks so I actually really appreciated how candidly characters engaged with them? I always like reading people's experiences, feelings, and thoughts so this was kind of gonna be a hit for me no matter what. Felt like conversations with my partner on the way home from the movies :)

If I didn't know this was Ren'Py, I would never know this was Ren'Py. It's amazing how rich and polished all the visuals are down to the slightest touches on the UI, and the artwork in general is super gorgeous, especially all the portrait expression variants during dialogue. After a minute of the intro conversation I thought for sure all the dev time must have gone to UX stuff and there wouldn't be much to the experience, but then it just kept expanding in lovely, nuanced dialogue where every character had a clear voice and every conversation had a natural rhythm. I was FLOORED...and tbh a little offended that you have a game that's so beautiful and has such wonderful writing (kidding about the offended part but also hnng HOW). I'm sad it took me so long to get to this one, it was a delight!

Submitted

Wow, this game is so cozy and chill, and also so real and vulnerable and open. This is my first time with these characters, so I'm sure there are dynamics that are going past me, but honestly I loved the experience even more coming in brand new -- it kinda gave me the same feeling as meeting a new group of friends who all have an established dynamic and a shared history, but they're all so open and happy to fill you in and include you in the conversation. Really wonderful experience.

Came for the cute furries, stayed for the realistic text messages of characters discussing their complicated feelings.

Submitted

Super charming game! Love how intimate and soft the cock fusion is written to be, and the little face alongside Papaya as you go through the rest of the story is just the sweetest.

The art is truly top tier; I agree with another comment that a few of the conversations were a bit long for my liking, but all oozed personality and made me sad not everybody was able to be chatted with. The various different voices are also a delight - Purrl’s is probably my favorite!

I did come across a bug(?) where if you enable the skip text in the inital Cerise text conversation, you can’t toggle it off again when you get to the walking segment; it’ll only allow you to toggle it once more when you’re given a choice by somebody you’re chatting to. Also wish there was some way of seeing what endings were available, or even how many there are.

Well polished, and that was a down to the wire submission time!

Submitted

Such a cute game.  The art is wonder, unsurprisingly. Music is nice, especially that title theme @w@!  and GOT DAMN you are a ren'py wizard eevee. incredible.

Submitted

This is a completely charming game, I really enjoyed it (Especially cake!) Its got wonderful character design, a lovely story & is so well polished! <3

Submitted

This was cute! Every character is lovely and I def'd would have liked to have convos with the other ones in the park. Sometimes the conversations got quite long and very "let me tell you about this kink I really like", which made it hard to focus and I admit I skipped some parts, especially on the pad. I enjoy good nego writing but I really prefered the moments where characters' feelings and actions, especially Lexy's, were included. Maybe a better balance between exposition and action and feelings could do the trick? I'm nitpicking to be honest. I'm into body fusion as well and loved to see it represented this way <3
The art was superb, I loved the emoticons and the splash sprites that zero in on details, it made everything enjoyable and really sustained a feeling of progression and wholesome relationships. A detail that tickled my brain in the best way was the "voice" for Ceraya, it was something I would have loved more text for.
I really enjoyed the experience, thank you for making it! (lol'd at the submission 2 minutes before a deadline you set yourself)

Submitted

Fun cozy game! I really enjoyed the attention to the text system. Really well polished. 

Submitted

The art and the dialog is always on spot.
It's hard to give feedback when I just sitted and enjoyed the experience.
I will definetly chase the missing fussion on the route when I have the time!

Submitted

I really enjoyed the artwork and the easy intimacy between the characters! I feel like previous familiarity with these characters lore and world would have been usefu;, but I enjoyed figuring things out.I also didnt realise you could have those rpg elements in renpy games! so that's a new thing to experiment with for future projects!

Developer(+2)

ty!  i do try to make things understandable from context even if you're unfamiliar, so i'm glad that worked out haha

you usually can't do an rpg-like map in ren'py, but my spouse asked for it a while back, so i did some truly cursed nonsense to make it work.  i might release it sometime, if i can fix a few major problems

Woah! I loved this! Out of the games I have rated for this jam, this is definitely one of the stand out highlights!

The art is fantastic, the writing is fantastic, and it's very thoughtful about everything it talks about!

I particularly like Liam and Ash! They both ooze personality!

It made me laugh, and it also made me stop and think a bit too. An extremely solid entry!

Oh and like, you made this game in Renpy?? What the heck! Sorcery!!

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic UI design and art direction. Very narrative-rich and fun to explore all the different paths and dialog paths with different characters. Very cozy and natural dialogue written. Overall incredibly solid character focused game jam entry, can't wait to see the other paths that get added if/whenever you continue this ^^

Developer

thank you!  we definitely have loads more ideas so hopefully we can get them all in sometime

There's so much and though I've yet to finish I love every ounce of what I've had so much TuT

Developer

this is like 20% of the original concept lmao.....

Damnation, I shall have to become increasingly cakey until ye completest thy work. eth.

I'm very curious where you wanna go with it still and what you made touched me very much.

AND WHATS UP WITH THAT WAITER!

Lovely artstyle, easily one of the prettiest games on this jam. I'm a bit more torn on the actual dialogues, since they can take a bit longer to complete than I'm comfortable with. The character designs are incredible, I love pretty mcuh all of them little critters :)

Developer

thank you!  my spouse did the art but like half the character designs are mine so this is pretty cool to hear haha

Submitted

Cute artstyle and really well written, but there are a lot of errors which mean the backgrounds and some visuals don't actually appear, which really ruins the game's flow. However, what is available through ignoring the errors seems really good!

Developer(+1)

whoopsadaisy, i had a problem that only appeared on windows, which i don't use.  hopefully better now
