I really loved the game ! I had some chills when i played the ichigo route... i didn't expect everyone to be like they are. And that's what i really loved ! It was very mysterious and unexpected !

Also... i'm starting to create a game too (a french otome game, since i'm french). Can i ask if you have, perhaps, some tips ? And i noticed that there were no CG album. You said you didn't program it... is it because it's hard to make ? I want to make one in the future, but i really don't understand how to do so. If you have some knowledge... feel free to share it with me !

Have a nice day and thank you again for the game :)

Aww thank you for playing! I'm glad you loved it!
Ooh good luck with your development! About CG albums, actually, I didn't bother trying to code it at first because I don't really like coding. But I've tried adding it for my upcoming project and it's actually much simpler than I thought! I recommend Zeil Learnings vid as it's simple and easy to understand. Zeil also has a template for it too here. You can find other tutorials in her youtube channel and they're really helpful for me, so I hope you find them helpful as well!

If I have to add another tip, make backups of your project. After you're done working on it, try to create a backup as soon as possible (I use google drive personally, but anything works). While coding, you may or may not screw up and your codes are just this copy and paste failed mess (uhh totally not speaking from experience). This is where the backups come in handy, as you can just redownload that file and try again.

God that end up being long. I hope this knowledge can help though! Again, good luck with your project, don't forget to take a rest if you're tired, and feel free to just contact me if you need help with anything! I'll try to help out the best I can, even though I'm still a noob at renpy LMAOO

Thank you very much for all these tips !

I saw the video of Zeil Learnings, and i succeeded making an album with locked CG and all (i have cried because some things didn't work well despite making the same codes as the video, but i succeeded eventually... !!) now i want to try adding pages to this album. Like in most otome game, you can normally click on the character you want, to see his CGs, and i want to add that + pages in these characters albums if there is too much CGs for one page. But i'm shit at coding and i don't know how to make it, and i don't find tutos about that too sooo... maybe i will not make CGs (but its pissing me off) or just a few... we'll see !

I heard you for the other tip to make backups of my project lmao ! I will do that :)

Again, thank you very much ! You're very adorable, and i will take you to the word and contact you if i need help !! You may still a noob, but you have succeeded to make a good game, so you're an accomplished noobie game developper lmao !

Oh, actually, I've found a template that lets you choose your love interest's CGs here! It's made by Zeil, so if you've already understood the simple version of the cg album code, you should be able to understand this one too (even if it takes you a few tries and experimentations).

You're welcome and thank you too for your kind words! Coding can be hard especially if you have little to no prior experience, but I believe you can do it!

Oh thank you very much ! I tried to use the template but... it is too small for my game. I tried to change the resolution of 1280, 720 to 1920, 1080 but then i have to change eeeeeeeeverything size and it is just too much. So i want to change the position of "loveinterests" and "return" since its outside the frame, but i don't find where i have to change it (i can do it, right ? is it possible ?) i will look again but ugh its so difficult when you're a noobie at it XD thank you for your cheers !

Nevermind, i found it in the gallery navigation. I'm so relieved... this excitation when you have succeeded to do something you thought you couldn't LMAO

Woo! Glad you figured it out! Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment and relief when you get a code to work and actually understand it LMAOO
