Thank you for this, purchased and will use it in my own project.  I was going to create my own but this made the process a lot easier.

I don't see many FMV Ren'py games and despite the limitations you worked with it is actually filmed quite well and I must say I'm impressed by your attention to detail in the video compression.  I also really enjoy playing games from other cultures.  I'm Australian and I found this captivating from a cultural level as well.  Was this a university project or a passion project?

My only criticism is an annoying bug which you could easily fix, when you go back to the game menu and resume game it skips an FMV.  You could set a flag when going to the menu not to skip on return :)

Love seeing new Popochiu based projects.  Checking it out now :)

Forcing it to GL2 fixed the issue. Good to know - I've had this issue lately with a few other Renpy games.  I'm running an NVIDIA card and Hyprland btw.

CachyOS/Arch Linux - and yes I'll change the renderer and see if it makes a difference.

The fact you pushed Renpy to be more point and click 3rd person adventure game like and did amazing 2d pixel art graphics sold it to me.  Quickly though the Linux build keeps randomly locking up for me in the first scene.  Had to run the Windows binary under Proton to play it.

thank you so much. Appreciate it :)

When trying to save the game in Linux it keeps crashing. Attached pastebin

excellent, i'll investigate this and the source code and try and pull it apart as much as i can :)

I amazed by your work, I had been considering creating a point and click in Love2D and you have successfully done it and more.  I had a look at the source code and it's quite easy to understand.  Would you consider releasing the framework to your adventure game engine.  Tis truly amazing.

Purchased - can't find english version

Oh I already use invokeai, automatic1111, etc in Linux. I actually use StabilityMatrix to make it even easier for myself :)

Cheers. Thanks for the heads up.  Not sure if I can make it talk to a Linux build of Automatic, otherwise I'd need to load it up in a VM

possible for a linux release at all?

I'm curious in regards to the engine you are using to create this? What did you  use?  Also nice use of Stable Diffusion to create your art :)

Purchased :)

This is one stylised ren'py game - I damn love everything about this.  You have subverted my expectations in presentation and style for a Visual Novel and that is what I always look for. Amazing :)  What is the best to contact you outside of itch btw?

Hi Kia was wondering if you could post some screenshots of the UI's on these product pages?  Would love to see some shots, even if it is a youtube video before I commit to a $20 purchase per UI.

I must say this is some of the most refined ui work I've seen in Ren'py for a long time.  I've been looking into the engine a lot lately your game definetly stands out.  Also love your use of multiple music audio channels to make a dynamic soundtrack,

Also found another bug at the end of Day 3.  The transitions to your home make the music get quite loud and then back to normal volume quite quickly.  Probably need to fix the audio transition,

I also noticed a conversation portrait of the main character appear as the screen fades in back in at your home at the end of day as well.

Overall loving this game, looking forward to the next chapter.  Love how you incorporated the "yellow king".  I haven't seen a reference to that in quite a while - the last reference I saw in modern media was True Detective :)

Great work as always.

On a side note found a bug where the old man's portrait with the itchy cast displays instead of the main character's avatar.

Great work so far, I still offer my musical services btw .. can churn out tunes really quickly ;)

yaaay

Awesome - look forward to when you come back to the project - you've inspired me to do a similar kind of project :)

Finally completed day 2,  I would love to offer my services in getting different aspect ratios working in your code if you don't mind as i have a 32:9 and 21:9 monitor.  I would also love to offer my musical services for free :)

Loving this game.

Here some example links of music:

More than happy to help, know a ton of VA's if you want my help.  You can add me on discord at grahfmusic

Also could you make it so when trying to decipher maybe allow for the player to have an image of the poem and photos when trying it in the safe. Got really tiresome listening to her re-read the poem - over and over.  Just feedback - you can ignore if need be :)

 Also the aging puzzle, I'm stumped - I'm little stumped with the multiple number puzzles.  I'm terrible at riddles. Help somehow - argh - killer puzzle.

Also a resolution setting would be nice.  I have to change my desktop resoultion to play it in 16:9.  I know, I know frustrating.

Also I found a bug in day 1, where if you click quick enough in the tunnels the main character will start talking mid cutscene where the shoot out is.

And another small thing, you should make it even if you click on the exit signs with an inventory item selected it should override it.  A little annoying ui bug - but lovin' the game.

Yeah I just figured it out right after I posted it.  Truly impressed with the writing in your little game.  Truly getting Snatcher vibes from this game.  What Unity framework did you use to make it?

Day 2 is great so far, but I'm stumped with what to do after I got the first page translated and I have the notes but need iodine.  Not sure where to go or what to do now? I feel like I've exhausted all locations.. Any hints?

Thanks checking it out again now :)

No problems,

Look forward to the nexne.  I've seen people dismiss your game as terrible cause of AI.  But you've used it so creatively and also well implemented that I enjoy it.  It is a tool to enhance ones already pre-concieved ideas and help create something.  What annoys me is these naysayers think your game is commercial.  Didn't even look at the page.

Just some more feedback - would love an auto advance text option.  Clicking after each block of text kind of ruins the immersion for me.  I love to sit and listen to the dialogue with the appropriate pauses, etc.  :)

Thank you so much.  I would love to chat to you how you go about your prompting and creating pixel art.  What is the best way to get in contact with you?  I'm curious about your approach.

Loving it so far, though could you add a resolution or windowed option.  I have a 32:9 monitor and it just stretches out the screen.  I have to manually change the resolution of my monitor to get it to render correctly.
