I'm really enjoying this book so far! :D

Sad & beautiful.  Thank you for sharing. <3

That's fair, I respect that!  Thank you!

Was wondering if there will ever be a Discord at any point for these Velox challenges!  It would be cool to be in community with the developers I've seen around.

I posted my review!  I loved this book a whole lot and think it's excellent.  Thank you for the review copy, this is a new favorite of mine for sure!

Will there possibly be an .epub version in the future?

I'm glad you liked it! :D

This is a super cool idea!  I love how you brought it to life!

I say keep it casual!

Thank you!

This is a fun little game!  I like it!

This is a fun little recreation!  I like the clicky sound design.  And the ending screen is very cute!

Figured I'd put the review I made in the comments as well!  I think it's a great story, and I hope a lot of people purchase it--after all, it's for a good cause! https://norbezdoes.wordpress.com/2024/12/07/bez-reviews-independent-books-4-his-...

Gotcha, np!

Question: will there possibly be an .epub version as well as the .pdf?

Thank you!  Yes, that was the intent.

I really love this zine, it speaks to me in a big way.

It's actually inspired me a lot, and I was thinking of making it into a writing challenge of some sort?  Using each of the numbered points (or more than one, for the points that are connected) as a prompt for a piece.  Lmk if that would be ok/if you're comfortable with that.

I really appreciate your feedback!  Thanks for playing and for your help. <3

You're very welcome! <3 I'm hyped to see more!

I posted the fanart!  Idk if you have a Twitter or not, so here's a Bluesky link: https://bsky.app/profile/norbezjones.bsky.social/post/3lc74ig4et22y .  It's on my other socials as well.

I recently started a series of blog where I review books published on itch.io.  I happened to see it in the new books, and decided to check it out & eventually write a review!  I really loved what I saw and am looking forward to more! <3

The characters are adults.  I have no idea where you got that idea.

Glad you liked it! C: Appreciate the love. <3

Perhaps in a future To Train A Killer game!  Keep an eye out.

Of course!  I'm looking forward to what you make next! C:

& tysm!  I'll shoot you a message.

This is adorable, a great start to a cool game!  Looking forward to more! C:

Awww, this is very cute!  The art is lovely too--you did such a fantastic job! <3

Also, I'm trying to make a game for this jam but I'm having trouble with programming.  Idk if I could possibly DM you on Twitter/Bluesky or something to ask some questions about things?  Sorry to have to ask.

1. Got it, good to know.  Ty!

2. I did, I ended up making a private itch.io page for the game to test it that way.  It's still blank though, aside from the word "auto".  Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

3. Gotcha!  How are the different chapters separated?  I also want the paths to merge back together at a certain point--can that be done? 

I also have another question: for the character sprites/images, I usually have to remove Sprite 1 before putting in Sprite 2 of a character, so that there aren't multiple character sprites on-screen.  Do I have to do something similar here?

I don't want to clog up the comments too much, maybe I can DM you on Bluesky or something?

I'm making a game for the game jam, and I'm a little confused as to how choices are implemented.  I'm also having trouble testing the game in my browser, the screen is just blank?

Also, it says in the instructions to put something in the stylesheet when putting character names--"add the appropriate css class to stylesheet.css."  I don't understand what you have to do here?

Hi!  Question: is this book available as a pdf anywhere?  The epub format isn't the best for me

Tysm, same to you! <3

Np!  I really liked the book, keep it up!

I want to review the indie books I find on itch.io, and I made my 1st review of Memory Leak!  Links:

I really liked the book a lot, and the stuff about memory loss and game dev legacies especially hit home for me due to my personal experiences. Looking forward to what you'll write next!

Hey!  I was writing a post about VNs and remembered this game for one of the questions, so I wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you!  The fanart kinda got buried in my backlog, but I'm gonna dig it back up and I hope to complete it soon.  Hope you're well and I'm looking forward to whatever you make next!

This is awesome.  I really appreciate you making it!

Damn, this is killer.  Great work!

Oof, this hits close to home, too real.  Thanks for writing it!

A fun, goofy little game.  Great job!

Hooray!

I actually found out about it because I was exploring the interactive fiction hashtag on Blue Sky, and your one year tweet about this game was at the top.  Thanks for sharing it there! C:
