Congrats!
And then... hmm. I'm nervous. Playing this game made me wonder about the story that I wrote for my game.
Let's see...
The protagonist is 17. She is slightly cynical, has great observational skills and is attached to something that has been gone for over 10 years. Honestly speaking, I have problems remembering the past things when I was 7. How many 17 years old teens you know are highly clingly to the past? If you take a 7 year old child and ask about the future dream, and compare it to the same 17 years old age... I wonder if there will be a difference.
My personal guess is yes, for an answer.
Well, either it's OCD or the rarest type of person who just gets attached to past things way too badly
(or the memory of a dead 7 year old kid in her mind)
...Sorry, bad habit to analyze characters.
Story wise I think that it has depth for the limited number of lines. We know that she has a number of friends, she calls herself a plain Jane and she really thinks a lot. There's thought to her questions and she tries to get her AmorBot to admit his real self. I get the feeling that she has the power to sort of make robots go erratic rather than just being
committed
.
It was also interesting to see that Jude eyes change colors when he switch to Elly.
It is slightly unfortunate because my own sense of
objectivity
hinders me from feeling sad about this part. It is how it is,
a robot that's metal and plastic in all actual truth.
I'm not
subjective enough in the sense to be affected as much as the protagonist.
Supposing that even if it's true that the
robot really has codes equivalent to a human's emotions level,
there's just not enough time to be emotionally attached, at least for me (I did go "hmmm, interesting..." near the ending.). Still, many people find it enough to shed tears over this, so I can say that you're successful in bringing out the emotional depth, and very successful, given the limited amount of lines you have.
Art and Music wise, well it's free, and that's really as good as it gets.
I'll look forward to your next game.
Sigh. I wonder if my own dialogues between my own story characters are natural or not...
PS: The spoilers are really spoilers in chopping up paragraphs...
PPS: Seeing as I'm a dude just like Jude! I *cough* would personally like to see adult scenes if there's a sequel. I'm sure the others want it too (Probably. Like, deep down. Haha)!
