I Mean Developer Can Add The Tag Or Edit The Post Easily If They Upload The Game by self
why would they post their game for free here? most of the devs that have control over their game threads (you can ask the admins here to grant permission) post only demos or teaser versions wjhile you only can get the full version when you pay them on patreon/itch.io/subscribestar. i will say it again by definition this site uploads games for free which you would normally need to buy and pay money. this website is not something like "steam" wher you have a collection of games you can buy this is more of a torrent site where we share stuff in an illegal way

Sorry about the invisible wall, I didn't know it was that annoying. I fixed it.
Invisible walls on their own aren't annoying (although not far from it - there are better ways to restrict player movement), It's just in this case I could see the character I was supposed to interact with, but the invisible wall was preventing me from doing so.

The girl being out of range is a feature - she's at work. She comes back home at 17:00, there's a button next to the clock that you can use to speed the game clock up. I guess this is annoying too, you can reach her at work now.
Based on what you say here, I think if you communicated this better to players, it wouldn't be as much of an issue. The best time-of-day mechanics I've seen in games show you where each character is as a core part of how you navigate the world. Ex: In games with a fast travel map, they show the face of any girl located at each location; very obvious where they are. If a character isn't where you expect to find them, a player naturally goes to the fast travel map and sees the character's face - very quickly resolves any player issues.

Another decent way I've seen this addressed is in a quest log. I know this game has one, and I could have missed it, but showing quests broken down by-character and the character's current location can be a way to address (ie, player gets stuck, they're going to go to the quest log and see everything they could possibly need to see to progress).

Yes the art and voice is AI. Voice can be improved, I don't think I can do any better with art.
There's not a lot I can do about the writing. I tried to make it sound like real life people talking. Do you prefer the more literature style?
It just feels clunky today, unnatural. This could be down to taste.

I've updated my review, added a link to your response.

I did own the thread, originally. If I posted it directly, I can't avoid liability with patreon if there is any. This is not moderators' fault, me and them agreed to have them own the thread instead. Thanks for defending me though.

- Yeah. I'll add more indicator for quests. Originally there was info box for characters and plants, but I've always been shaky with ui programming (Godot doesn't really explain their event lifecycle, I just assumed it's the same propagation as in web), so I left it out
- Do you have an example of walking into house and showing interior from some games that you prefer compared to mine?
- Thanks for the rereview, please give my updates in the coming months a try


If you download the game, please download from itch or from the GDrive link only, I added a minor fix, I don't think the mirror links caught up

Well it's definitely a first release. But there some interesting bits to it. I've seen worse AI.

Lemme turn that voice off tho. And gimme a sprint button.

I'd also appreciate the ability to disable xrays, if possible.

It's not a mechanic I've seen often; I recall one but it's escaping me - I remember it had the "overworld" fade to black relatively quickly as you entered a building (while the building interior faded in), and the opposite as the player exited

You can already turn voice off (I have all sound off by default). I'll patch the rest next week.

Please use GDrive or itch links. Pretty sure the others aren't updated. I should've ticketed a 0.1.1 hotfix, that was my bad.

Played the online link's version, but it was fairly decent so far... though a bit simple. I farmed a bunch and did a bit of stuff with the neighbor, but ended up getting stuck in the wall of the bedroom next to the entrance of the aunt's house and decided I didn't want to restart any time soon... will definitely play again sometime in the future.

Oh fuck, that's what I was afraid would happen. The boundary for the house was a bit spaghetti.
Below is snippet of the new girl, please come back at the end of the month for v0.2 update.
Thanks for playing my game.

Edit: I got the web version on itch working, took like 10 sec to load for me though.
v0.2 just came out.
Please report any bug, I'll release a fix within the week.
(Fixed, read edit above) Itch limits files to < 200mb so it can't be played in browser. Please download to play the game. I'll find some way to split resources or host on my own site.

Doesn't work on Joiplay, and the web version doesn't work on Android. Are you doing a port of this later on?

how many scenes are there?
Right now there's only 2 characters: Sienna with 3 scenes and 7 animations, Sophie with 3 scenes and 5 animations. After you're done with the storyline (around ~10 min), you can play different scene depends on the time of the day (I'll post a wiki on itch soon)

Yeah. I'm copying from some of the manhwa I read. There won't be a lot of interaction between the women, I dislike cheap dramas and interaction between them will only mean dramas.
I'll do minimum of 6 girls. Stay tuned.

Windows version has save. I'll wipe everytime there is a new patch since there's so many changes right now.

Doesn't work on Joiplay, and the web version doesn't work on Android. Are you doing a port of this later on?
This is not based off RPG Maker so Joiplay wouldn't work. Web version not working on Android is weird, I thought it would work everywhere if you're using a web browser. I'll check it out on my own.
I'll port it to android once I'm done with all the basic features. Sorry about this, it's my first serious game, I have no idea how difficult porting to android would be.


Thanks everyone for playing my game!
