VN - Ren'Py - Real²Dreams [v1.0] [FrostForge]

I'm glad to see this game has been revived, even if it's not by the original developer. Since this is the first version, it has a lot of potential, but it also needs significant polish. The characters look great, and I'm looking forward to their story. There aren't any animations in the game yet, so we'll have to wait and see how they turn out. Hopefully, the developer handles them well—janky animations can really hurt the experience.


Overall, the game has a promising start, but there's still a lot to prove. I gave it a five-star rating so far, simply because I really like the character design. Maybe I'm being too generous, or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself—but I want the developer to know that what he's undertaking here feels like a big deal, at least to me. I hope a higher rating at this stage encourages him. Please don't let me down.

I understand that it is a first approach to see if continuing with the first game is really worthwhile. The models are very good and the story is inherited from the previous game. It has potential if work is done on it.

Thank you for your work and for continuing the game.

This was a good first release from a new Dev. The renders are great and do justice to the previous version of this VN. The writing is a little rough in some points, but again, it's really early in the development process of this game, so I will give the benefit of the doubt that it will improve. I might even suggest a proof reader to help out.

I'm looking forward to future releases and seeing where this all goes.

Title: Short review for a less than short attempt at reviving an old VN

PROS:

• Decent looking models that stick to original game. 1 star

(I considered 2 stars, but I also needed to compensate for reviewers that did not review what is here, simply what they "hoped" would be there or some other irrelevant "feeling" of nostalgia or other...)

CONS

• Writing and structure are poor, sentences are incomplete not reviewed or use poor punctuation, grammar etc.
• Dialogue is unnatural and does not flow or make much sense given the context.
• Little to no content to provide accurate rating, 2-5min gameplay (without speeding) should not constitute a valid first game or update (opinion, but factually accurate)

SUGGESTIONS & PERSONAL OPINIONS (read it or don't)

• Grateful for this new developer to try and revive this game, however I feel some significant effort will need to be made to be a true and worthy successor/replacement of, and improvement on the original game.
• Consider getting permission to take original work and add to it to provide more context to current game.
• Review own work before publishing, ensure writing and dialogue are planned, structured and make sense to the situation.
• Provide more content with each iteration that extends beyond 2min of game-play."
• Seriously consider getting assistance with writing and planning the story thoroughly. I assume this is a one man endeavour? On models & renders, they are good, but the rest will need more skill and probably persons to make this a worthy game.
