SO CHARMING! such great vibes and such an impressive amount of work for a 3 MONTH DEMO waaaaaht!!!??? the art, audio, narrative and the mechanics all feel very cohesive. the menus and UI are also super impressive work. The demo is well-paced and gives you a great taste of what the full project will include. u should be super proud of this -- really excited to see where you take the project. ❤️❤️
I really loved the vibe of this! Working with GBstudios limitations is a huge hassle but I really enjoyed how much detail you can cram in, in sprite of it. I think I would probably advise looking into different sounds for longer dialogue, the text sound could get a little grating. Like super said I think a 'back' option will help intuit it. I saw your comment talking about enjoying the Stardew Valley fishing and I think this is a really cool way of integrating that mechanic while being more accommodating. Really interested in seeing how easy it will be to identify different fish.
thank you so so much, i really appreciate you taking the time to play and im so glad you liked it!!! it means a lot that the fishing was fun and accommodating, that was definitely the goal with it. :')
and ty for your feedback! i definitely was wondering if the dialogue sound was too annoying, haha, so i absolutely will change it in the future. ^^
lovely demo so far! the vibes are good. the only thing is that i would like to be able to exit out of the menu by pressing the "b" button or having an "exit menu" option tho (not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but its always the little things, isnt it);; hope you keep up the great work, cant wait to see where this goes :)
thank you so much!!!! i really appreciate you playing and im glad you enjoyed it!!
and the menu is actually able to close w the same button it was opened (start) but it's good to know that it's not as intuitive as i anticipated!! i'll see what i can do about that in the future so ty for ur feedback :)
My favorite genre of anime is probably “slice of life” and this nails that vibe so perfectly. I know this is in a “rough” state, but the dialogue was fun to read, I enjoyed the fishing style you went for, and the pixel art really sets the right tone. Hold tightly onto this project and keep pushing forward because you’ve got something truly special here. Really enjoyed this one!
thank you so much for the kind words!!! i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! slice-of-life is one of my fav genres as well and i tried really hard to capture that vibe so i'm glad it worked!!!
