I would like to jump on the demo bandwagon, or at least 'trailer'. The premise seems interesting and what little I've seen of the production values fairly high, but it'd be nice to know how it plays.

I occasionally frequently draw other people's characters. Now offering delinquentization, medievalization, and cyborgification. Hit me up in PM if you want sprites for your KN or non-ren'ai VN.

EVEN IF THE TENDONS OF MY THUMBS TEAR INTO NOTHINGNESS, EVEN IF I GO NEARSIGHTED FROM STARING TOO HARD AT THE SCREEN, EVEN IF MY BODY IS CLOSE TO COLLAPSE FROM THE 72 HOURS I HAVE GONE WITHOUT FOOD! I WILL DEFEAT YOU!

Hmmm, I'm wondering if the demo might be broken. I've spoken to Aki and that Artist girl, but they're not showing up on Status and assignable tasks, so I've maxed out programming with nothing else to do.

You know... a couple of screenshots would be nice so I can see beforehand if I wanted to download the demo...

It's well known that indie game devs get girls only after they finish their first game!

Umm... Having a bit of a problem, when I downloaded the demo and ran it, it ended up looking like that ↓
I redownloaded, reinstalled, and fiddled with compatibility settings all to no avail.

That looks like one of the bug present in SOME videocards with the old Ren'Py version (had a few users with similar bugs too). A test you can do is to move the IGW "game" subfolder to a new project created with the latest renpy and try running it, this way will use the new renpy version and you can see if you get the same bug or not.

What? Really? What kind of video card is it?

I guess I'll have to update to renpy 6.13.2 then.

The game is actually pretty good though too easy . I think i ended up with 1 million in the end. Well i was fun of that other plot so not having the access code at my disposal really leaves empty. I hope someone will put somewhere sometime.

That right is reserved for us "guyz" ^_^ jk

So yeah... I'm thinking about putting in new features in a future patch. Along with the release of this patch I'll probably bring up the price a bit. Going a little bit of the minecraft route.

What do you guys think of the following?

• New Character
• Hacking mini-game to top-secret databases
• Part time job for extra money
• Online sales
• More "good" ends
• Cameo from Fading Hearts

Old thread, but I just recently played through this (having bought this a while ago and never really having the time to finish). It was an interesting take on game making, although I have to admit that I preferred Fading Hearts more. In terms of story depth and characters, I found myself very fond of Fading Hearts (which is sorely underappreciated visual novel in my eyes). Here, I enjoyed the game play but soon realized that I had no idea how to really advance in the story. Quickly finishing a top visual novel (and raking in the money, haha) was nice, but I wanted to get into the character arcs and enjoy the huge variety of options like Fading Hearts. I did manage to get the kiss scene with a character (although the lack of an access code quickly cut off my story progression -_-;).

My biggest complaint would be the inability for digital buyers to get the access code. Since I don't go to cons, I can't imagine any situation where I can find the buttons to figure out this code. While I'm not sure what the code unlocks, my story abruptly ended when I came to that specific spot. It left a surprisingly bitter taste, especially when I thought of the satisfying endings that defined Fading Hearts for me. I admit this may seem like a harsh review (in fact, I enjoyed the story plot, originality, and art). But it really is because I think Fading Hearts had something kind of special in terms of story depth and compelling replayability. Regardless, I'm quite interested to see what you have planned next.

Thanks for the honest review applegirl. Infinite Game Works was something to help encourage people to make games/visual novels. I didn't quite put in the resources as I did for Fading Hearts.

The next game that is entering production will take everything that people liked about Fading Hearts and take it to the next level. It will give the large amount freedom that Fading Hearts had in terms of choice gameplay style. Causal-style and traditional-style gameplay options. What will be new is how much you can "break" the story and still have a story.
