also beans

This was cool and very sweet! The scene especially of approaching the book and choosing how to deal with it I thought was really engaging. And I empathized a lot with the main character

I seem stuck on the first action scene, it returns me to the prologue. But TADC is a cool reference! And I like the art / music

This was a fun idea!!! I liked mixing fiction with more physical treasure hunting

This was very funny. I also really liked eating that book

This was an awesome concept! The poetry was really nice too. I love the idea of changing the world to get your npc to produce art

This is super polished! Really liked the sense of humor throughout the whole thing, and I enjoyed the choices, specifically influencing how the book turned out. It was a fun read!

Really great writing! You did a great job sort of trusting the audience to piece together what happened as they read. I agree with Sarah, the tone is really strong

Thank you!!! You might be the only one who's beaten the game other than me hahah

Thank you!!! Really encouraging

thank you!! the art is all I can draw hahah. Creepy stick figures.

It was super inspired by Don Herzfeldt yes!

No offense taken! All feedback is good

I absolutely agree, no one should spend time waiting for this to progress. They should go out and live! That's sort of what I was trying to say, through a joke

( ° ͜ʖ °)

appreciate it ( ° ͜ʖ °)

thank you!!

Yeah! It's been a bit of a bumpy path, it's going though!

no worries!

I took the old demo down! I'm probably not gonna have a public demo (might change my mind) but in the discord channel I'm gonna be handing out demo keys soon to get a handful of people's thoughts on the first 20 minutes (which are mostly polished). Would love to have you!!

update:she didnt find this offensive

Homie grappling hooks were straight invented by the visual novel

I ALSO LOVE GRAPPLING HOOKS. THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. THERE IS A GRET HOOK TO THIS POST. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

but seriously i really liked this it was great information. now im gonna add a grappling hook to my game

ok no worries

what if the gameplay itself is only possible with an AI?

I'm thinking of adding an element using ChatGPT - this wouldn't be used to replace writing but only very minimally to allow players to choose what they say to characters. Would this be allowed in the rules? It isn't using generative AI to replace handwritten dialogue, but just using it to allow an experience that wouldn't be otherwise possible.

Put another way - 99% of the game is handwritten, and the only 1% by AI is to enable greater player agency with their dialogue responses.

A fart, you say?

thank ya :-)

we considered it. But it got cut due to time constraits

breh

Thanks for letting me know, we’ll look into seeing what’s up with these bugs.

This game is incredible. Lots of good secrets. I discovered my love of neighborhood redesign through this game.
