Hey, I just wanted to say even though the category is "Visual Novel", I think you really can step up your level. What I can suggest to you is you can check out a game called "Ken Follett's The Pillars of The Earth"
I think just a bit of interaction as a player with your novel would leave such a different experience. Like maybe the phone could show up on the screen and we can check the battery ourselves or even decline a call. These could be easy to apply to your novel as a start.
I am looking forward to following your future works! Good luck :)
Hi!! I'm sorry for the late reply, but thank you so so so much for taking the time out of your day to comment how you think there's room for improvement in my work! I really appreciate the words of constructive criticism and encouragement! I'll definitely keep your words in mind the next time I make a VN. :"0 Thank you so much, again! :>
I noticed you used ren'py to create the game. Just note, usually its a good idea to link to the ren'py site as the program used to code the VN. (ie: renpy.org) and credit ren'py's creator renpytom in general for creating ren'py. (He has a twitter under that handle if it helps). - Just something to keep in mind.
I like the initial forest backdrop and the sounds of the audio adding to the effects of reading the text so far. Although, the blankness of the main menu threw me off a little, it was alright. I like the edit of effects on the cabin and all as well. It was short, but the words, seemed to hint at more. I got ending 3, in the end. I really liked the sprite of Amber, it was cute. Definitely nice for a quick game jam entry and nice job on coding the choices and audio, as well as the images in. I would have preferred backdrops to match the sprite, and maybe a few CGs for events, such as when the plate broken, but overall the feel was nicely paced and nicely done within the time limits.
Thank you so much for the honest feedback! I seriously appreciate you taking the time out of your day to play my game and give me a review! I'll definitely put the credits in there sometime soon — I'd hate to go without giving such an amazing person like renpytom credit! :"0 Thank you so much again for the review, again! \3V3/
No problem, thanks for not minding that I tried out your game! ^^ Your project was really nice and I wish you luck with any future ones you might do in the future! Hope the feedback helps ya going forward.
