Thank you so much, it means a ton!! Those warm fuzzies are definitely some of the vibes we tried to capture - so glad to hear it was able to bring up some good memories for you too :)
& hope you enjoy the recipe if you try! Canned pumpkin and ovaltine malt powder sometimes go on sale for real cheap this time of year, and any sort of nut will do as substitute in a pinch - even just oatmeal works well for the same crispy effect, though it's little easier to burn by mistake than nuts are!
Yeah, it was super cosy and wholesome :3 And it was such a surprise that it hit me the way it did considering the fact that Jo and the general setting of the story are pretty far from what my life is like, haha. I was trying to put my finger on what might've made it stir those sorts of feelings, and I think it might be a mixture of the music (especially the Summoning Performance) and the sun setting in the countryside. It's probably more than that though!
It's always nice to see Tyranobuilder games too because that was the software I started out my VN-making journey with :3 Just makes a nice change from renpy.
Well, I might enlist my dad's help and see if we can make it with a team effort, haha. Our old oven recently died though, and the new one we got to replace it seems to cook everything a lot faster, so I fear we may end up with some rather blackened bread >.< We cooked pizzas last night, and within 10 mins, they were burned to a crisp xD
PS. Reading the game page also taught me a new word! "Tangential" so that's a nice bonus :3
