For game dev in 10 hours, this is impressive.  I love the humour and point and click for inspiration.  

Beautiful art and UI!  Love the host and dating show contestants. Calamaria is my fave!  

The art is gorgeous! Cool concept!  

Wow! Don't eat the cashier is the best visual novel game I've played in a while. The writing and humour is PEAK!  I was laughing my ass off so much.  The way the romance builds with each love interest is masterfully done.  The art and CG's are gorgeous. Honesty, I love this so much. Thank you for this gift!  You've made my day!  

Agreed!  This game is the best!  

Wow, your tutorial is awesome. That's some seriously classy background art you've got there.  What a talented artist you are!  Thanks a lot for making these assets available!  

Wow! The voice acting is top class! Very immersive gameplay with movements and character animations and lively sprites. Very impressive. 

Love this! Biker boy is the best! Can't wait for more! 

Wow! I can see how you scored so well in Spooktober, well done!  Captivating story. Amazing art and loved those single row programming sections. So cool!  

Wow, Gemmy and team - beautiful game. I love Ty's support. Jasmine is so sweet as a partner. That blurry name plate was clever and helped me with immersion.  I adored the programming transitions when trying on the dress.  Gorgeous art, music that fits the mood, and such supportive writing. Well done! 

Yuno! This is banger! What a great start. Exhilarating short demo!  Can't wait to see how "Flirt or Flop" develops.  I'm following you, so post when an update's ready, ya hear?  Rock on.  

Loved this!  I find myself pondering how both the cat and fish get to a good outcome.  I love that fish sprite and expression change so much!  :)

Rice - you're a class act!  And a true solo dev.  I checked the credits and you're basically multi talented, huh?  Directing, writing, audio, UI art, sprite art, background art, programming - wow!  That was a really cool horror gaming experience.  I usually shy away from horror because it's scary, but I really wanted to try your game and I'm glad I did.  Props to the voice actor Nao too!  

Wow! This music soundtrack rocked. What captivating writing and gorgeous art!  

Very cool concept!  Loved the background image and programming transitions zooming out.  Those choices and different endings was neat!  Well done!  Her sprite is cute!!  

CatTrigger - top game! Loved it! Smooth choices. Loved the art and those expressions. The background image and programming zooms and transitions  is so clever! The voice acting is superb!  

Whoa, that was tense. Quality pacing, well done!  

I LOVE MELL! Can she deliver my mail? Oh my goodness, her facial expressions are the best!  I adore your storytelling, with trying to fit into a new town and all.  

This is so cute! Love the art and all those expressions. That sock puppet interaction is entertaining.  

Hi Vince, I tried to play your game but it asks for a password. Can you change the settings to public?  Thanks. Lila

I love how his name plate customises for each choice - The Witness etc. This is so clever! I love everything - especially all the art - your main menu file, his character sprite and expressions, the background. Even your text box. All your design elements connect and show how your whole story comes together for this interrogation.  This is so cool!   

Wow, that's so cleverly done! Had no idea you could avoid selecting "Knock" the first time until I saw pamsdrabbles comment. Then I tried it myself and was pleasantly surprised. Well done!  

Oh my goodness, this is adorable!  You capture the shyness, awkwardness, fleeting eye gazes, building up the courage to make a new friend. Aw, this is just the sweetest.  

Your storytelling is so good that I felt I was there in the trenches. Well done!  

Whoa, what a ride! That background and programming transitions was so clever!

Wow, Naarel, that was totally cool.  Your story sucked me in straight away with the rumour. Props to Hannah for superb voice acting. And Miyuli's sprite expressions to bring to life your writing, top class. Bravo!  

Aw, Ebbasuke. That was short and sweet. I adored those moving clouds. Your writing is pure poetry. The way you capture romance at the beach in so few words is masterful. 

Wow! Everything is wonderful! The art - his sprite, the background, the user interface - how those red lanterns light up and sound effects, this itch page - the whole game is designed so well!  Yuno - great writing!  Those programming transitions so smooth. I loved him moving to sit at the table. So clever!  What a masterpiece!  

Hello to the "If Then Else" team,

Thanks for your wonderful character sprites!  

His name is Dashaun in my O2A2 2025 jam game called Cyborg Chat. 

I've credited your team in game and on all my social media.  

Please keep creating wonderful art assets!  Indie game dev's like me love your work!

Kind regards,

Lila

Hi Frozenstar, thank you so much! The voice actor Maya Miko is the absolute best!  Agree with you, he did a great job!  Aw, I'm so happy you found this cute, energetic and positive. That's exactly what I was hoping for.  :)

Hi Yuno I('m) Write, how wonderful to hear from you! I'm so happy you had fun!  :)  Yay!  Loved hearing how you enjoyed the dialogue and voice acting. I spent like the entire 10 day game dev on that flirty banter and it was wicked fun to write.  Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. It means a lot to me.  Thanks!  Lila

Brilliantly done! Got me thinking about how I'd react if I were in that situation and all my loved ones gone. Thank you for this beautiful game!  

Whoa, that whole delivery was super cool!  What engaging story and banter. So intrigued!  I was totally sucked in to this world.  Seriously, well done!  

Firstly, thanks for the rant.  I'll try follow you somehow so I can stay up to date with your other projects.

Secondly, thanks for this "the making of". Had no idea about Rijksmuseum public domain assets.  That is so cool.  I'm now aware all thanks to you.  It's such a gift to hear about your approach and experience in game development.  Personally, I love hearing about your thought process and your design decisions.  I know it takes time and effort, so thank you for taking time out to do this.  I often think about debrief, retrospective, what I could do better.  But it can be exhausting articulating thoughts and crafting the message.  I appreciate you for this "making of".  It's shows your journey and helps me with mine.  

Aw, Rascal, your games are so beautiful. Your design is thoughtful and everything comes together - from game title name, storyteller words on screen, her eyes open and closed, those smooth transitions. I enjoyed being called a child of the stars, as it made me stop and think that we all are, a truth we all share. Thank you.  

Whoa, that had me gripped. Awesome writing and story! Loved the art. What a super clever game that meets the O2A2 rules. Thank you so much for making this!  

Bravo! That was wicked fun. The user interface and reading on chat like that was so clever. Seriously, loved this so much!  

Aw, Eryen is the best!  I adored that dialogue. That was a super sweet treat.  

Aw, that was so sweet. Love your art - the whole user interface design and his character sprite art!  Beautiful!  Like soft, pastels and super easy on the eye.  

Wow, that was amazing. Loved. Every. Bit. Where to start? That audio background track rocked. The writing was banger. Gremlin is hot. Voice actor = executed so well. That ticked so many boxes for me. Thank you so much!
