I have a lot of web visual novels. Are they the type of game you want to play? 

I have just dicovered you, and followed. Hopefully I can use any of your assets on my visual novels.

I enjoyed this little game so much. It woke up a need of making a VN with my children OC (maybe for the O2A2?)
Also I would like to ask where did you find the music? And which engine did you use before?

Hi!

I'm Laura Laureus, I have been participating in gamejams since 2017 assuming different roles (Programmer, Producer, Asset Manager...)
For this NanoRenO I have teamed up with Eddie (Character artist) and Wulf (Writer) for making a detective story. 

We are still outlining the story but the idea is:

An amnesiac police officer teams up with a delinquent to discover his identity, only to learn that he is actually the delinquent thirty years in the future who went down a life of crime.

We are looking for a background artist and sound designer to complete the team. 

Please if you are interested or have doubts reply here or send me a DM on Discord, my user is lauralaureus.

Have a great day ✨

The more the merrier! Can we talk on Discord?? ( My username is on the original post) 

I have met Eddie (who wrote this post: https://itch.io/t/3514960/illustrator-graphic-designer-looking-for-team#post-937...) I would like to participate with them.

Hi ! I'm Laura Laureus I have been Producer, Programmer, Writer, Game Designer, Asset Manager... (too many hats!) of several Visual Novel in the last couple of years. It has been a great adventure, but it's time to delegate work and meet new people so I would like to join a team as Naninovel/Unity Programmer for the upcoming NanoRenO 2024. I would like to join a team with:

• A short story or demo (less 8k words or near the 30min of gameplay).
• The game is intended to work in web and mobile browsers first (instead of PC/Mac).
• Not mature game.

Please keep in mind:

• I have a full time job. So I do VNs for fun in the afternoon.
• I work in British Timezone. So all the DMs will be handled after 5:30 PM in this timezone.
• I have had many hats in my previous works so I'm willing to share my experience, in UI, writting pacing, User Interaction, Asset Optimization...

These are my latest VNs:

• Blood of my Blood - Spooktober 2022
• Elysian - NanonRenO 2022
• Asteria, Countdown - JoseiJam 2023
  
• Kotodama, Bernarda Alba - Once Upon a Time VN 2023/4

To contact me use one of the following methods:

• Reply to this thread. 
• Contact me on Discord my username is lauralaureus
• Send me an email to lauralaureus @ gmail.com (remove the spaces)

Thank you for your time! Have a nice day!✨

This was so nicely written. I loved the narrative and the concept of scaping the routine. I wish I could do a vacation like this with my partner. Haha.
Besides, It was a surprise for me that this story was done with Twine. I have heard about it, but not seen in action. It was a great discovery. 

Congratulations! ✨

I really like this story, but it ended suddenly :').
However, there is a lot of work on it. Congratulations!

Then best wishes ✨

Hi @komehara !
Thank you for showing interest in a desktop version of our game. 
I'm pretty busy these days, I'll reach out again once I get time to make the desktop builds. 

Again, thank you!

Any estimate on when the new version will be available?

Our UI assistant is the one in charge of it. But I agree it's amazing 😍🤩

I used this on my game "Kotodama, Bernarda Alba" https://lauralaureus.itch.io/bernarda-alba-kotodama

Hello!

Thank you for playing "Kotodama,Bernarda Alba". 

This game is a reduced version of the original story outline, adapted to the timespan of the "Once Upon a Time VN Jam". 

Since it was done for a jam, with the rush that comes with it, this story and gameplay can be improved. Please feel free to leave a comment here. 

If you want to report a bug, please provide screenshots or videos, the date of the bug and a little description. 

Thank you for your support!

I just pulled up this game from my pending list and I got a gorgeous surprise. A delicious short story. ✨

Added to my pendings.

I understand. Thank you for replying.

The gamejam’s page says there are 7 entries but I only see 5. How can I see the missing ones?

This story reminds me that I have still Glasgow in my “to-visit” list. I hope I don’t finish in Ecuador too.

Great story :) The image and the description of the prince reminds me to Claude of Fire Emblem 3 Houses, hahah.

Ow!! I love the idea behind this game and the sale itself. Do you have any Twitter/X promo I can help with a Retweet?

So d**n huge bundle. Good job on this one. I hope you get the goal.

👀The gameplay video looks good. Added to my pendings!!

I like this little piece of sweetness!

Congrats on the great quality of the game for a short gamejam! It makes me to wonder if you have extended this story with a larger one (?)

I didn’t know that Steam prohibited the AI games. 👀 Good yo know

This game was great! I couldn’t play until very end since I reach a passage without options when making preparations for war with the princess and Alice alive.

However I want to say congratulations!

Sounds great! I’ve just added to my Asset DB! <3

Thank you for your words, I’m glad other people are willing to contribute. (the war is bullshit :/ )

I’ll take note of your comments so I can priorize the bug fixing.

Again. Thank you!

Hi!

Pro :

• The music was good.

Cons:

• The screen is too big. Please consider using this asset for handling the window resize (https://seansleblanc.itch.io/better-minimal-webgl-template )
• I was defeated by the first enemy and the character jumped backwards too much. Is this effect intended?
• Please add a skip intro button.

I see potential. So keep working on this!

I see a lot of potential in your game!

Pro points you already mastered:

• Text animation at the beginning
• The background is amazing
• Music loop puts you in the mood.

Con points you may consider:

• Make a step-by-step tutorial.
• The game window is too big, it’s difficult to play. (if you are using Unity you should consider using this asset that handles the resize for you https://seansleblanc.itch.io/better-minimal-webgl-template )
