I enjoyed you game! It was short but good experience.

It was good that the game is simple to understand how to play, and easy to comprehend what's going on.

Although, I couldn't bring on what you did actually intend.

I tried to ignite a lantern like visual description but I couldn't, and tried to banish the fog(on the bridge) by liner magic but it didn't work. Also, I recommend to make the field brighter since to me it was hard to recognize field objects. 

I'm looking forward to see the finished version!

I played Parsnip and at first I thought it's a cutecy game without any kind of twist. But eventually it turned out to be wrong, it's a pretty dark-themed game with plot twists like Parsnip's add behavior and secret features like yellow eye markings, and branching endings. 10/10

This story really got me. I'm not a trans person, but always suffered with reason-less anxiety and fear of abandonment. A lot of friend have gone from my life space, so Laina's feelings made me cry several times. I just finish reading 2 chapters first so willing to write a new comment when I finish playing then.

【Weekly report】A new scene for PRINCIPIA. Development is now favorable pace, everyone!(10/10, 2019)

I played Tennis Ace on last week, and I enjoyed so much! My favorite is Keisuke, but Shoichi and Jun are also kind, and cozy characters so basically, I love them all now.😁 And I'm making are VN too, so this game also gave me a lot of inspirations like how to proceed the moment with them. Thank you very much, and hope you can work on Tennis Ace for more!👍

You can submit your own name when the keyboard screen is popping up. If it doesn't, maybe it's due to the version of Android OS. Ren'py games requires comparatively new version of it(As I heard).

【Monthly report】First release of demo, and some feedbacks( 9/28, 2019 )

OK, I wrote Monthly report at the game page itself, but posting here first is more appropriate. Sorry for double posting but let me take notes on here too.

Progress:

I could (Finally!!) release the demo of VN game I've longed for years. The story is still indeed short, but I could establish the method to keep making this.

The first chapter will be about 2 hours long with my estimation, since it will consist of 10 episodes. maybe It will take more than 2 months since I took almost one week par each two episodes of the first demo.

Some of the good points, and feedbacks of this game, from my close friends and my self-critics too.

Good point:

1, At least some friend addressed that "Nicolas and Hal are both empathizable as for now. And I can see that Alfred is a good friend to Nicolas, but he's also getting unpleasant one to him". Yes, that's what I wanted to explain about them all!

2, I am not a native speaker of English, but I gave much attention to write like English literature. Thanks to this, I could write in a solid literary style and succeed to establish my writing style for this game.

3, I gave some effort to make a good background to tell their occasions and Soviet Russian-ness of the society. There is only one pic with it, but it can give readers to the attention.

Critics:

(By my friends)

1, Maybe the theme of this game is ambiguous still. My friend notes me that "You should focus whether this game is about religion, or romance of Nicolas and Hal." I can say that it's both, but maybe I have to explain the religion and their relationships at the prologue and first chapter.

2, Some of my friend pointed out that Anna doesn't look aged properly. (I realized that one but didn't know how to fix it!)She's 40's but doesn't seem so older compared to Nicolas and Alfred, so I need to learn how to stand together her beauty and proper age.

3, Maybe it's odd that Nicolas and Hal are in already lovey-dovey at the beginning. It would be better if Nicolas is like "You're lying to me!!", and on the other hand Hal is like "Notice me, Nicolasu-kun ;(". I will fix this after I wrote up the entire first chapter.

(From Reddit forum)

1, Some people gave me some feedback on character design. Their eyes are quite large compared to the head, and ears are oddly placed to their haircut. I will draw them in more proportionally well-balanced, and more like Three-dimensional next time.

2, It would be better if they are simply lightened, or shadowed to each lighting environment of the place. Fortunately, Renpy has some functions for ingame layers, so I will use that for each scenes.

3, Thanks to Nicolas' smoking habit and Hal's religious view, I caused a bit controversy. So I will make more appropriate precautions on game intro by next update.

Next plans:
1, Write some new episodes: about 8 episodes and Implement some of them on Ren'py project by next month.
2, Fixing some of 6 feedbacks above.
3, Enhance UI, and add some illustrations for each scenes.
4, Make Albrecht and Alexei to appear on the game.

" ...In the center of Nordburg, there is an Old-Patriarchal Church the center of the ancient-Monotheism in the past. After the division of the church, people serve for this Church has decreased and it has collapsed miserably. Surrounded by slums and dubious shops, there is no shadow of the world's largest religious city."

Nice to meet you, everyone. I decided to start writing, and reporting some progresses of my VN project: PRINCIPIA on Devlog of itch.io. About the VN itself, I created a game page too so please refer to it.

Game page:  https://nymn-wales.itch.io/principia

Since this is the first release, there are only a few scenes and you can playthrough in less than 30 minutes. This game is a bit plain and not well-written still, but I will make it further better on each overhaul. So please be delightful.

And about feedbacks, I always want some helps and tips for this game so please note me anything. If I got some comments for feedbacks on here or game page, hopefully I can reply you by that week, or month. Please be patient!
