I can access the files now! Thanks.

I had organized a one-shot of LAST TRAIN tonight with some friends, having previously bought the PDF, but when I went to download the PDF this afternoon, the purchase page told me that there were no available files for download. I understand that you're pausing PDF sales as the BackerKit campaign revs up, but could you please restore purchases for people who've already bought the TTRPG? Thanks!

Thank YOU for reading! 💗

Thanks so much for the kind words!! 💞💞

Thanks so much!! :)

Thanks so much for the kind words!! Glad you enjoyed :)

I love this zine so much — heartwarming and kept on making me smile throughout reading. Any particular inspirations for it?

Thanks so much for reading and leaving this nice comment! I'm really glad you found the article helpful :)

Super glad you enjoyed it — thanks so much for playing and leaving this nice comment! 💗

Thanks so much for playing, and for the kind words! 💗

I'm sharing my casting call for WAITING FOR THE DEATH WIND, a very short visual novel that will be submitted to this game jam, featuring dialogue between two characters: a dying Athenian warrior and his goddess. 

For the warrior, I'm paying a flat 175 USD for around 30 dialogue lines and a short, 7-line poem excerpt. 

• Voice Type: Masculine adult, medium or deep pitch
  
• Accent: Greek (think masc characters from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey)

• Voice Type: Femme adult, medium pitch
• Accent: Greek (think femme characters from Assassin's Creed Odyssey) 

This project has a tight turnaround, so please make sure to take a look at the timeline before submitting an audition. Feel free to DM me on Discord with questions (my username is "Jaylus"), but only submit audition lines via the casting call.

You can view the games I’ve created at https://www.romanhyacinths.com/games. I previously worked with a VA on another short visual novel, which you can play here.

Cheers!

Thank you for the kind words! 💗

Such a beautiful piece of quiet, intimate pondering.  Thank you for sharing! 💕

This is SUCH a cute idea, and the art is so gorgeous, particularly with the sunset color palette you chose. I can't believe this is your first attempt at pixel art — it's so good! Would you consider making this into an actual game?

Excited to see your progress!! 

I love visual novels, and I love this project! The diversity of screen types makes the game feel really thoroughly real, even though it's just a mockup. I also love the duality of the twins when it comes  to their visual symbolism. Would you consider making this into a full game? :)

Insanely cool mockup — absolutely love this take on the multiverse prompt, and I'm so glad this jam was a good opportunity to bring some long-standing ideas to life! It reminded me a bit (in a good way) of the GMTK 2024 winner My Shadows Are Bright. I'm excited to see more of your ideas in the future! 

I love the character art in this mockup, as well as the concept! I'm guilty of focusing on major deities in media, so it was cool to read about your "divine doorkeepers" focus. The cover art is also super neat. Would love to see the small WIP sketches you mentioned at some point!

This is insanely cool — I've never once wanted a game makeup to be more real! Are you thinking of developing this into a game, or are you happy to leave it at a mockup? I'd play it in a heartbeat.

Thank you!!

Thanks so much! Super appreciate the kind words.

Thank you!! 💕

I watched a friend win the game without using the gnaw button and was in awe haha; great work and ty for playing!

Thank you for playing!!

Super cool; thanks for sharing!!

What a fantastic, detailed, and unique submission — it was so cool seeing you work on this over the past month in the Discord, and it turned out SO good. Looking forward to seeing more from you!!

This is such an cute and heartwarming idea, and I love your art SO much, always! The presentation write-up made me so excited about this idea. Gives me Unpacking vibes 👀 Would you ever consider making this a real game?

Uhh HELLO this is so beautifully detailed and dynamic?? The animations add SO much character and I'm so glad you spent the time to bring the mockups to life. Do you think you'd be interested in expanding this into a full game?

It was a joy seeing you work on this in the Discord; I hope to see more of your projects in the future!

I said it before in the Discord, but this entry is SO cool and has so much character! Love the little GIF animations too 🥹

Such awesome work here! I particularly love the shop screen and how dynamic the character poses are throughout. It was also so cool to see the WIP creation process in Discord! Would you consider making this into a full game? 👀

Holy cow, this is an unbelievably cool and dynamic submission! I love the image, colors, character, and the UI is also fabulous. If I was being nit-picky to give constructive feedback, I think the UI might be a little too tilted for easy readability... but that's being nit-picky for sure :)

Would you consider making this a real game? 👀

Thank you!!

Thanks so much for the kind comment! It's so interesting for me to hear how people experience my games, so I really appreciate you going into detail about your interpretation... which is incidentally pretty closely aligned with how I intended to the game to be interpreted, ha.

Thanks again! 💕

Wow, this is SO incredibly cool! The style is so consistent, and I love the colors and textured detailing (lace?? UGH so good!) throughout. Really fantastic work — and thanks for being the jam's first submission! 😊

Aww, thank you so much for playing and leaving such a nice comment! 

Thank you so much! Super appreciate you taking the time to play!

What an adorable, juicy game! Art and audio is delightful. Thanks for sharing it!

thank YOU for helping them! 🫡

Thanks so much for the kinds words! 💕

Thank you so much for playing, and for the kind feedback! Means a lot.
