I love the simple premise and slow pacedness. Lord knows we all need a little bit of MC in our heads to tell us we're doing good in our small ways. I've been plagued by anxiety of my own inadequacies and insecurity but I've been slowly accepting it, it would have been much easier if I had a little MC to chirp about what good I am doing, but other than that I was really relaxed playing this. Great little visual novel!
Thank you for your kind words! This was my first attempt at a visual novel and a bit nerve-wracking to put out there, so I'm glad that it was able to resonate with you!
For a first attempt you did good! Experiment and have fun with the next so you can find what you're comfortable doing! Always great to see more people make more visual novels, especially when it can be tricky to do it ahahaha!
this one is interesting too :) though i have yet to figure out how to get different endings ; after 4 times i still get the same :')
Thank you! It's a lot more limited given the jam's restrictions! There are only three endings and it only changes a bit of dialogue at the very end.
Edit: oops I'm a goof, I forgot there was a neutral ending, haha. Choices that seem to lean for 'contentment' will give you one ending, and ones that seem to lean towards "adventurousness" should give you the other. And even amount of both will give you the neutral
thank you for the hint :) i'll try that and hope i can see all the endings :)
and thank you for buying my game , that mean a lot to me :) that's one thing i never expected , i hope you will like it :) , it's not finished yet though..maybe i should have gone for something short for my first
I'm happy to support other creators! :)
O2A2 was a great experience for me because it forced me to keep my scope in check, haha. That small success really gave me the confidence to continue after years of wanting to, but being too anxious to take the plunge.
Good luck with your own games! I'm rooting for you!
yes i understand what you mean it's easy to get anxious ..i am too
thank you so much Brii for the supporting words :)
