Early playtests are really important!   As game designers we're often blind to the affordances that our ideas require in order to be even playable (much less fun).

Having someone sit down play and record their time with your project can be invaluable.  I think this is a reasonable asking price for this kind of service. And while leveraging an existing community might be available to some.  I don't want to assume that this is true for everyone. 

Thanks for the feedback!
Will review and update the demo as I progress.

Unfortunately, no mac version is available.

Hi!
Yes I do. 
It's pretty small and chill. 
I mostly use it to post updates on my latest projects.
Feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/mr3yfuDeZE 

Glad to hear that it seems fixed.
Fully acknowledge that the onboarding/tutorial could been a bit clearer. 
(And the screen size and text isn't the most approachable/accessible)

Update deployed!
Grab the latest build and let me know if you're still experiencing the issue

Bug should be squashed now!
Let me know.

Thanks for the additional info!
Turns out a service for the game has been retired. 
Retooling some backend stuff and should be deploying an update shortly. 

Will do!

Feel free to shoot me an email (ghenry@spritewrench.com) with the details of your claim/concern.
More than happy to discuss and address this. 

Very Odd. 
I'll take a look into it and see if I can pinpoint the issue!

Thanks for this. 

Awesome and thanks.  Is there any way for me to contribute to the development of this project? Patreon, paypal , etc ...?

Hi!

Any update on when this will be implemented?

Hey,

Try deleting all the files located "%LOCALAPPDATA%\grimmtonic\" and try to  re-launch.

Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Was referring to the  a handwritten font like shown in the last image 

Any chance of creating a font to match these?

Hey,

It wasn't finding the named positions.  Dug around and got it addressed. Thanks!

Hi Again!

Having an issue with tweening between positions.
The example in the documentation doesn't seem to work.  

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Agree that that not having an aiming shot makes the flying enemies way more difficult that they need to be.  However, I love how punchy the shooting animation is!

Hey!
Brilliant. I'll see if I can merge thins into my current build. 
Side-Note: How do I send you a steam key for the current project?  

I think within the same runs would be ideal.

Hey, 

Wondering if you could suggest a method for "greying" out previously selected choices?  I have some ideas but ....

Hi there!
Thanks for the questions.
I've updated the description to address most of them. 
As it relates to romance able options. There may be a few down the line but the  writing isn't set in stone. 
This closer to a friendsim than a dating game.

This is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks!

Hey!
Any direction and/or plans in place for integrating random number generation?

Open to Feedback? 

Yep.  Looking forward to any comments anyone may have: Pacing. Ideas/Suggestions. Both Positive and Negative criticisms.

Hey Valsi!
Sorry I took so long to answer. Its been a hectic week:
1) You can use any open source tools or assets
2) Any engine you choose is permissible. Even one you've built yourself. What's important is that its clearly an 'engine' and not a 'prototype'  or unfinished game.
3) Under this theme all genres are permissible..  Only limitation on content would be no offensive content.

Hey. Glad you remember the game. You can remap keys now. Feel free to give the demo a try and see if it works for you! Currently working on the steam release atm.

Awesome! Will take a look.

Glad to hear you liked it!

Sorry to hear you had problems!
