Thank you very much for enjoying it and for writing me! 😊

Thank you so much for enjoying it! I truly love my cat too 😊 I'm happy that you could relate! Two of my other games are stories based on cats: AME is from a cat's point of view and Yuki is more emotional if you wanna play them. The style is minimalist but different.

Thank you! I'm super happy about what you've simply enjoyed your time playing it!
I didn't post it to the TIC80 page (I actually didn't even think about it) but you can easily pause the game and check the code. I wasn't thinking of opensourcing it, though, just having fun 😄

Thank you! I quite enjoyed drawing these! :)

Thank you very much!

Yes, both were inspired by my experiences in greenhouses in various botanical gardens! 😊🌿🌱☘️🍀🌳🪴🌴🌲🌼🌸

Thank you!!

Kitty love! 🐈

Thank you, I'm really glad that you had fun!!

😊👍

Thank you, it's hand painted digitally using Artstudio Pro on iPad.

Thank you for playing it and enjoying it! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello! I know it's one month later, yet I just wanted to let you know that I've just published the extended version of this game. I have added more text and options for a longer game play. Maybe one day I'll add more illustrations as well! Here it is if you wanna check it out:

Thank you! I've designed lots of bipsi (a bitsy clone) games in the past, I'm glad that you see the reference to them! 😁

Very cute design! 🥰

Thank you! There's no right or wrong speed for playing this super short game and I'm happy that you liked how I visually play with words and that you've enjoyed the mood at your preferred pace 😊 To me, playing this game is like listening to a sentence and imagining the suggested scenes. 

J’aime beaucoup cette idée du flash back initial, c’est une bonne idée!

PS: j’ai remarqué un S manquant à « les mains tremblantes » si je me rappelle bien

Avec plaisir, merci beaucoup à toi ! Ca fait du bien à créer et très plaisir de voir qu'ils sont appréciés !

Thank you again for playing it and enjoying it :)

UwU it's so great that you can relate with these! Oftentimes, I start with an idea (textmode art here) and I try to write different texts until one matches :3 It's fun! (and frustrating at times when you don't find a good idea while everything else is ready!)

Awww, so cool! That was my purpose, I'm super happy it was soothing!

thank you for enjoying this little one! ☺️

Thank you very much for playing it! 😊

That's an interesting reddit , thank you! A kinder version of the internet is very needed in my opinion, and sharing what we like and what is positive too. It's quite interesting that you relate to the placeholder message which is indeed the most open to imagination.

Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Hihi no worries! Yeah, it's already pushing bipsi pretty far actually :)

Hihi, thanks! Yeah I find it amazing how a simple gradient can change perception. Crazy isn't it? 

The music style of these games is often similar, that's right.

Thanks for enjoying it! I think it's my fav too!

Thank you for playing it! Relaxing for a minute or two is exactly the purpose of my games, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you very much! I usually compose once the text is done and try to find if  both work well together 😅

Hello! Thank you very much for your feedback, it's always a pleasure to discuss topics that I like!

Discovering great artists and sharing them is one of my joy, so I'm super happy that you liked Lenka and Michael's art.

Seeing you enjoy my music really makes me feel that games are a great way to share it. I occasionally publish short albums online but I like it even more when the music serves a story and mood. Also thanks for trying to make something out of the dots!! :) 

The styles I was after for these letters drawing  are typewriters drawing and calligrams. You're right about ASCII art, sometimes subgenred as PETSCII for C64 characters for instance (which also include basic geometric shapes). Generally speaking, the "correct" term is textmode art. Great artists for these are Polyducks or MrMo who work with geometric-like characters.

 If you'd like to see me exploring this style, I suggest you'd check out my games Nature, Vignette of the ocean and No wizard where I worked with extra constraints.

No matter the choice, as a visual artist, I purposely select such crude representations to suggest rather than show, and let the player's imagination work. That's why graphics are particular in all my text-based games.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much!! I've completed yesterday an extended version with more places to explore and I'm excited to see if players would enjoy a longer stroll in the greenhouse (I  had suggestions for this). Once the extra art and longer music are completed, I will keep you  posted (should you want to try it)

Thank you so much! Haunting is a great compliment, I'm super happy that you felt this way!

Awww thank you very much! My goal is to bring happiness, I'm happy that it worked for you!

Awww thank you very much! I think it's very important to bring some happiness to the world, at least that's my goal. And similarly to take good care of oneself! So I find it great if you write to yourself as well!  When typing text for the game, I recalled this project  I came across 10 years ago (that is written in my description): Mysterious Letters by Lenka Clayton and Michael Crowe. I had great pleasure reading their letters and their tone clearly inspired me (I didn't copy them though! ;)). They are mostly funny and unexpected. If you like this style, I suggest you give an eye to their amazing work, it deserves it and hopefully will bring you a smile! :) Some works of Miranda July also have this feeling.

Maybe (shameless promotion here), you might enjoy playing my other games A cozy space capsule  and A changing greenhouse for a cozy vibe (and maybe they won't be your cup of tea at all :) !)

Thank you very much!! I try to bring happiness to the player and I'm very happy that you felt that! :)

Thank you very much! I am working on a extended version of the game with more content, I will keep you posted 😊

Oooh that's quite appreciated, thank you!

Thank you, I'm happy that you liked the touch of silliness, thanks for telling me!
