LOVE this - literally laughed out loud while reading. thank you

i’ve only found 4 (B, C, D, E), but try changing your responses to some obvious questions…

That was so cute and a lot of fun. I loved the character designs for all of the signs! Unfortunately they didn’t guess correctly (they guessed virgo - i’m actually an aries), but it was still a good time. thanks for making this!

xx_remix_xx is a phenomenal handle, thank you

good to know! thanks again :)

hello! thanks for hosting this! question: i’m not much of a digital artist and often use free-to-use assets like background, sprites, music, etc. are these OK to incorporate in the game? I didn’t see anything one way or the other in the rules. thanks for your time!

these are good cats. this is a good zine <3

love this lil’ zine! honestly, having both the motivation and tangible steps is so helpful!

came for the metal, stayed for the honest sharing of thoughts and emotions. fucking awesome work. i hope things have gotten better for you.

love the design. some of this seems so simple, but when you’re in the thick of it, having the reminders really helps. thanks for making this.

love this, and still so needed.

wow. wonderful work, from the layout to the words.

so cute & encouraging!

miss cheese is a beautiful orb and, in fact, body goals

thanks for these! i used some of them as background images for my latest zine.

love the vibes, the thoughts here. very cool :)

nods in wahoo.

this mamma’s my mia’s. thank you so much for to reading my zine!

I grabbed a community copy since finances are very tight right now - thank you to those who made it available!

The games included are just adorable. They add fun variety to your day in little but significant ways, and now I'm inspired to make a couple of my own! The art design is also charming and suits the subjects. I love 'em :)

adorable! thank you for this lovely little game 

*chef's kiss* love it. glad to see you making more zines! :)

BFFs? BFFs. Thanks, this was fun!


Thank you!

(as to your last idea: very much agree. it can be difficult, especially if dealing with mental illness)

This was very fun! I, too, am stuck on the dreaded level 15, but that's probably because I'm a goof :)

The mechanics are intuitive and force people to experiment and play, which is nice. The music is very comfy and not overbearing. I love the theme of nature reclaiming/rewilding the world, too. Very nice job here!

Thanks much! I can't take credit for the visuals - much more talented people than i made them! - but i'm glad to know they suited the game well.

That was a big concern of mine, so I'm very happy that got through. Thank you!

thank you!

This was a fascinating concept, and I think there are many good ideas here to explore. 

That said, there's a number of things that stood out to me that could benefit from some revision:

  • The visual design is gorgeous - I particularly love the backgrounds! - but it's slightly ruined by the large paragraphs of text, mainly when it overflows the text box. Breaking up some of the dialogue into smaller chunks would benefit both the presentation and accessibility.
  • Speaking of accessibility: The typeface is a little too small. Increasing it by a few sizes would help!
  • This could really benefit from an editor. There are a lot of interesting concepts presented here, but the presentation & dialogue are too convoluted. It doesn't read like two (or more) people/creatures talking, but more like they're quoting a textbook on philosophy. Many of the concepts you explore could benefit from easing into them gradually - perhaps as the characters travel across the different landscapes?
  • To continue from the above point: Was your plan to make this more of an interactive fiction or visual novel with choices? I wonder if it would have been good to implement more choices (even non-essential ones), where the main character/player can explore the concepts they want to learn more about at will.
  • Additionally, there's not a lot of distinction between characters other than their sprites. Consider adding things like accents, terms, quirks, repeated phrases, simpler language, etc. to really make your characters stand out from one another.

Like I said, I find this game fascinating, but it's held down a bit by the presentation and writing. Tightening these up would really make the game stand out. But for something made in a week, you should be proud of the work!

I had a lot of fun with this one! The art is simple but cute and serves its purpose. You obviously nailed the theme, too! Two very nitpicky things:

  • I didn't realize at first that you could move the thermometer. That's very likely a user error and not something you did, honestly.
  • Like others have mentioned, it was difficult to tell sometimes when the food was done at a certain temp. Making that a little clearer if you decide to update would be great.

Otherwise, I thought it was really nice and you did a great job. And now I want some hot dogs.

Hi there! Thank you so much for this resource. I used this (and the male sprite) for my game jam game, outside. Love your style!

I've been worrying a lot these days if the games i make are too self-indulgent, or just otherwise too hyperfocused on the things i care about, for people to give a fuck about. i worry that maybe i should tone my shit down a bit, because being too raw and emotional and honest could mean opening myself to ridicule.

this essay is making me radically rethink how i approach my anxieties about this. thank you.

Hi DeReel, and thank you for checking out the zine! I'm glad to see that I was able to provide new information to people like yourself :)
(and I'll consider that feedback, thank you!)

makes me incredibly sad, 10/10 will miss my cat mage

beautiful game. thank you for this.

he's a very cute birb
edit: he runs off my second screen and stays there for a while hiding :(

This is, quite honestly, one of the best otome games I've ever played. The writing is superb and really makes me feel like I'm speaking with these people. I love the discord-like interface; it adds a lot to immersion. What else can I say? Fantastic, fantastic game.

seconding for the onion route, seems like an interesting person!

Thanks so much for reading it!

You're quite welcome - thank you for checking out the zine! Something noise can be a good thing ;)

Unfortunately, that can happen from time to time. First, check to make sure you haven't changed the header of the file in audacity - that's usually the cause of this kind of issue. An easy(ish) way around this is to open the image in Photos and take a screenshot, but you'll probably lose some fidelity this way. If anybody else has other suggestions, please reply!
