Boo! 👻

I've been scrolling through the Yandere tag for a while-- and eventually, I stumbled here! I plan to make some notes and remarks about this game for funsies (and in case u guys need some feedback)

^ I'm saying this bc I already found some small errors

(Mild spoilers, but dw there's no meaningful spoilers)

1) When I click the button to save, it brings me to the load screen (arrow pointing south)

When I chose the load button (arrow pointing north) it led me to the save screen instead

.

2) Text often doesn't fit the box

it's not a critical issue, but I just thought it was noticeable enough to mention

3) Last but not least, there was just a weird janky/funky feel to Louhi when he changed expressions

I got this sense that maybe different people were drawing him, bc his hair's shading, clothes shading, and collarbone were artistically inconsistent

they all had the same lineart/outline, but the coloring was just slightly off (the red cross over his chest also changed to a darker red in some sprites).

Hi there! Thank you very much for giving my game a chances despite its flaws! I greatly appreciate feedback! Thank you very much for taking the time to point out mistakes you found!

1) That's a trick one. I had no idea which is supposed to be which. I didn't program the GUI. I only programmed very basic stuff. I guess I'll have to talk to the main programmer later.

2) That's very weird because I checked the dialogue you showed as an example and it did fit the box:

I really wonder why this is happening to you and whether all players are having this issue. If so, then that's very concerning.

3) All the sprites were drawn by the same artist. It's just that I commissioned them per entire sprite and not per facial expressions so they had to draw the sprite all over again. I wish I had commissioned them by facial expression, but that wasn't an option with them. I was hoping that people wouldn't mind tho. But now it's confirmed that players do mind after all. I can't do anything about that unless I ask the artist to remake all the sprites which will take too much time(they are very busy) and cost too much money(they charge in us dollar and I'm not from the US or Europe so it's extremely expensive for me). Despite all that, I really hope you can forgive a little the game's flaws. Thank you very much again for your feedback and for taking the time to write all that :)

Unfortunately, later the sprites will look even more inconsistent when

Spoiler ahead

Louhi changes form.

😨😨 woah... it's almost as if-- as if the preview pictures don't show that already!!!

lmao I'm jk

on the topic of his second form, I wanted to showcase (😎) this cool fanart I made for little cutie patootie Louhi ^^

The coolest link in existence

khghkhdsghkogsfjkjdzdvj 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG!! THIS IS SO PERFECT!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL PRESENT!! I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I IMAGINED I'D GET FANART!! THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!! YOU MADE MY YEAR!! YOU EVEN DREW HIS THICK EYEBROWS!!

This reminds me so much of the first drawing of Louhi in his upir form:

Fun fact: Louhi's design and backstory was mostly inspired by Douma from Kimetsu no Yaiba. Ever since falling in love with Douma, I developed a thing for thick eyebrows:

And by all means, I can't wait to see your oc!

I don't get why his brow brows are so important, but you go fam!

(Absolutely love the first drawing form tho-- curly hair all the way!)

(I got an idea that Louhi was inspired by Douma bc they're both: cannibalistic, demonic (?), blond, THICK EYEBROWS

and also bc I scrolled through your twitter likes and slowly connected the dots there (crazy douma fan alert lmao)

but I 100% understand you fam, crazy cannibals wowie did somebody turn the ac up cus it is HOT in here (It's mostly me who's hot but yk the joke was that the men are hot awushd)

AND!!! About my (AMAZING) oc (king cherry) I get that the vn was otome aka female protagonist, but yk, he's a rebel! Rules are made to be broken 😎😎

Oh yeah (last edit hopefully) When I replayed the game some more and found out:

The text didn't fit when I played in minimized screen -- versus when I played in full screen, the text fit the box

it might be a win vs mac issue, or it might just be the way you play (aka full screen or minimized) so yeah, that might clear some things up

I don't really know for sure why thick eyebrows are that important either. But they awakened something in me. I guess it's probably because they seem manly and quirky, which I'm a sucker for.

Hell yeah! I freaking love curly hair so much 🥵

I'm like a crazy cat lady! The difference is that I'd be surrounded by Doumas if they existed! Yep, crazy Douma fan! My twitter and tumblr is full of Douma related stuff lmao

I love how Douma is an oni, a creature from japanese mythology. So I searched for creatures from all kinds of foreign mythology to base on. Louhi is an Upir/Upior/Upier/Upyr(there are many ways to spell that), which is a ghoulish/vampiric creature from slavic mythology. They explode into various maggots when you kill them hence why Louhi has lots of maggots living inside his body.

I also wanted the player to think of Louhi as a grotesque being and remind them of a walking corpse so I made maggots live inside his body and gave him a rotting flesh odor when he gets hungry and corpse like skin color.

Great that you can understand me buddy! Crazy undead cannibal men turn me on so hard! The sense of danger is the hottest thing in the world(I think lots of people will agree with me on that)! It's like you're dancing with death! You're walking on tiptoes with these guys. One wrong word and you're dead. Another meal for them.

Heck yeah! Love me some rebel man! I love how Cherry is a meaningful name that fits his design! Louhi's name is actually based on finnish mythology and it's a reference to his disease-spreading powers:

It's actually a girls name, but I think it fits him to a T 👌

Later I'll make a post talking more in depth about all the inspirations I got to create Louhi.

And I'm glad the issue could be fixed by playing the game in fullscreen. I also thought it was a mac vs win issue. I was getting very concerned there about it. Glad it could be solved.
