Much of the feedback I would have for the prologue was already mentioned. I dig the character design in most cases especially LIs (both known and likely). Animations were good. The story and setup is not generic, a welcome thing no doubt.
Though from the family meeting onward the progression was quite jumpy and a bit silly at times. Not sure what the general intended tone is yet. A lot of transitions were rough for me with older frames flickering in and scene changes not being smooth. Not having this for any other VN or game so I am tentatively pointing away from myself.

It is quite ok and I even like it when some obvious things happen offscreen and readers are not spoon-fed absolutely every single molecule pertaining to the story. But when Norman goes missing between opening the door after the zombie and before the robot I do wonder why noone takes note of that. That was not something obvious to me as to why he would be gone alone.

I'm really not sure about the death scenes. Are they meant to be comedic? Then maybe have a return feature. Are they not comedic? For the latter they are fairly obvious (perhaps excluding the goblin one, I certainly did not see that one coming ) Music I was not so sure either. In that home video I thought it was not so fitting, but maybe that was because I already had an expectation for the overall tone to be darker which turned out to be not the case for reasons I stated earlier. Afterwards it was quite ok.

While they are likely a lot of work I would have liked to see some more scenery fitting the setting and timeline. At least according to the synopsis and the intro there supposedly was a lot of stuff happening in the coming few years. So a bit more from inside cities or something like that.

So far so good, but I'll wait for more content to see how it develops. Current strong point in my opinion is character design and world building. A lot of potential fun stuff being teased at. The rest is not bad but could use some polish here and there. Mostly transitions and story progression. Keep it up though, it's surely on a good way =)

If I have time I will give a shot soon, be ready for my review, after all I will stop my training for few mins.

Hehehe.

You've got something on your hands with an interesting story, striking girls (especially the crazy one with a split personality, Anya). For your first attempt at a game, it's good. Over time, you'll keep improving and fine-tuning the details... Anyway, good luck with your project, and I'll be following along.

Greetings ladies and gentlemen, it's been a month since the release of the game, and it's time to share some information about what's going on. First of all, I'm alive and well, don't worry about that, it's been a bit difficult this month, because too many things happened, and not the most pleasant ones.

My hard disk broke with all the files from the game, including AE, PS, music and other stuff, I was only able to recover the game files, and then only half of them. Due to this, the UI will be redesigned again.
I was in the hospital, for some reasons, but it's not really important.
I also faced burnout, depression and other consequences, because of which I had to take a break for a few days.

Now for the good news, first, I rethought my attitude to work on the game, and decided to choose quality over quantity, and give time to rest. As a result, the 700 renders I made for the new chapter have already been successfully reworked and finalized. As for the novella itself, I'm doing my best to make the choices in the game affect the narrative, rather than going the same route, so I've removed the paths by which you can die immediately (Well, it's still going to happen, but a little later.) Also working on the dialogs themselves, trying to make the characters natural, not like ordinary dolls, because of which the dialogs that I wrote originally, had to be redone too, eh-heh-hey, a week of rework.

As for the numbers, here is the progress (Numbers are approximate and may increase)

Renders - 40% (Current number 750 renders)
Words - 25% (Current number 10k words)
Music - 10%
Code - 0%

There's a lot of work to be done, but it's not standing still, and everything is on schedule. That's all for now. Thank you all for your attention, and see you soon.

Yours friendly neighborhood dev,
NoGlory

Interesting idea. I'm waiting for the continuation

 

[TigerWolfe]

Interesting start, it definitely has a lot of potential. But the writing feels disjointed and fragmented, like the writer has the whole story in his head but only manages to get half of it written down, so you're left to wonder about the rest. Jumping from one plot point to the next without any build up or context, things just happen for no apparent reason. When Norman asked how MC and Olivia met you get a 5 second scene of her being picked up in an alley like a stray kitten, end of story. There might be a whole back story in the writers head there but we don't get to see that, would have been better to just leave that out entirely.

The bones of an interesting story seem to be here, but yeah the delivery as it currently stands leaves me wanting more, but not in a good way.

Still a very good start, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows as the Dev gets a stronger/more coherent authorial voice.

Also was it just me or did the button to press to see LIs and their stats, per the intro scene, never appear. Maybe an issue with the port I was using?

Hello NoGloryx , Whoa It's been a while since I've been so hooked on the story of a game, especially as it's only a prologue! Can't wait to see what happens next, especially with the suspense at the end!

I've made a French translation for your information, the link is just below:

Good luck with the rest of the development!

It's been another month since my first release, and I have great news for you (relatively) development hasn't stopped for a single day, it's going full steam ahead. Thus, our team (from one of me) has already done 70%, everything goes according to schedule that can not but be happy.

Although there is still a lot of work to do, and due to personal reasons, I had to postpone the update to the end of December, so the size of our new chapter had to be cut down a bit, but I think it will not be a big loss, I promise that I will make up for it in the future.

And now a little bit about our favorite numbers, and letters (Procent time!)
Renders - 60% (Current number 1150 renders)
Words - 60% (Current number 20k words)
Music - 50% (Current number 80 sfx/music)
Code - 50% (Current number 4k line codes)

True, the number of renders did not increase much, because I spent a lot of time studying light, and learned a little about camera angles (Thanks to all those who support me, all this money is not wasted) I once again redid a lot of renders. (I hope this is the last time), as for the dialogs, unfortunately, there are problems here, because I am not a native English speaker, sometimes the style and intonation of the characters are lost in translation (Sorry about that, but I'm trying.).

I think that's it, I wish you all the best.

Yours friendly neighborhood dev,
NoGlory

And good day to all my dear friends, I really hope you had a great month. If not, I hope you will HAVE a good one, because I have great news for you. (Well, almost, it could have been better)

First of all, I apologize to everyone, I thought I could finish 0.1 today, but I was a little short on time, I was literally 4-5 days short..... But I will do everything in my power that-so that before the new year, you will be able to play 0.1.

As for the game itself, a lot of things are finalized, and a lot of things should still be reworked, so you may encounter unpleasant bugs during the game, so please forgive me for this.....

As for the numbers, originally I planned to make less, but I thought about it and decided not to, so the amount of content is quite large (Compared to the prologue of course).

And now let's get to our favorite numbers. (Procent time!)

Renders - 100% (Current number 2000 renders)
Words - 75% (Current number 30k words)
Music - 80% (Current number 160 sfx/music)
Code - 60% (Current number 5k line codes)

P.S. And for my paid subscribers, I remember about you, and I remember I had to make a monthly wallpaper, but it will have to wait a bit longer if you don't mind. Because I don't want them to be any worse quality than the previous ones.

I think that's it, I wish you all the best.

Yours friendly neighborhood dev,
NoGlory

Well, that’s all. These three months have flown by unnoticed, and what can I say—thank you all for your support. I really appreciate it, especially my paid subscribers. I may not be the most active person, but without you, this would have taken much longer. So, thank you.
As for the story, I tried to improve the pacing, dialogues, renders, and much more. But please don’t judge too harshly—I’m still learning.
And a small note: I’m not entirely sure if old saves will work. Technically, they should, but you never know. So, be prepared to start over (hopefully not).
That’s it for real now. I wish you all the best for the New Year holidays, my dear friends.
Best wishes,
NoGlory

May these holiday season be filled with warmth, joy and magic. I prepared a little gift for you, in the form of Anja's rendering!

Thank you for being with us. There's more fun stuff to come!

Best wishes,
