[OtomeWeekend]

I'll still download it even if its for 16+... why? Cause i love the concept and.... I even play an 18+ BL games, what's to back off over a 16+ one? XDD

I just made it as the other mediafire files and changed "#" to "?" and deleted ",1", so I got the link. As it seems, in this folder there are links for mac and windows (.exe) file.

So sorry. I was dead tired and posted the wrong folder link.
-- That Mac was a less than perfect version. It's been replaced. (Finally!)

Looking forward to playing the game. I love the artwork so far!

I hope you like it!

I enjoyed it, though I had some trouble suspending my disbelief.

With the exception of Tristan (wolf guy), none of the guys even knew the main character before that day, and yet all of the guys wanted to kiss her and ended up marrying her (or making her his mistress) if they got the kiss.

Then again, this is based off of fairy tales (which do that sort of thing a lot) so a little leeway can be given for that. The art is very pretty, and the music is nice.

The wolf dude, despite being stubborn and the human-with-fluffy-ears-and-tail (which I don't normally like), was my favorite character. He had pretty hair, derp. <3 My favorite part was definitely when

the main character said "Screw you, you bastard! I'm going home!" and then danced home, on the sorcerer's path. xD Now that's showing him!

When I was playing through Oberon's path (I kissed the prince both times, but declined Princey's offer), I got an error saying "frog6" and "frog7" weren't defined as images? (it said around line 150) , so I had to hit ignore for both those errors, and didn't get to see what they might have been.

Overall, an enjoyable game.

Edit: Here's a traceback for one of the errors I got:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/cinderella.rpy", line 154, in script
        show image frog7 with dissolve
  File "game/cinderella.rpy", line 154, in python
        show image frog7 with dissolve
NameError: name 'frog7' is not defined

It's such a pretty game with pretty music!

Hmm, I don't know why but I liked the wolf's route the best~

I think it's because his route is somehow most realistic and true to their characters, at least the one

where you find grandma's recipes and decide to wait with a marriage.

Fairytales are mostly simple and easy to understand, so it wouldn't be suitable to complain because of an easy storyline and sometimes unexpected (but hardly believable) twists, but it was interesting enough for me to try finding all of the endings.

I only had some problems with a game crashing or simply stopping, but I'm not sure is it to my computer or something else, as I had to forcefully restart my computer to start working properly.
I also had an error with the frog6 and frog7 pictures.

Thank you. Not a whole lot of character development in fairy tales as a rule.

The art is very pretty, and the music is nice.

Thank you very much. All that art took several weeks to makes. The music, however, was a miraculous find.

The wolf dude, despite being stubborn and the human-with-fluffy-ears-and-tail (which I don't normally like), was my favorite character. He had pretty hair, derp.

Aww! Thank you.

the main character said "Screw you, you bastard! I'm going home!" and then danced home, on the sorcerer's path. xD Now that's showing him!

That's my favorite too.

When I was playing through Oberon's path (I kissed the prince both times, but declined Princey's offer), I got an error saying "frog6" and "frog7" weren't defined as images? (it said around line 150) , so I had to hit ignore for both those errors, and didn't get to see what they might have been.

(face-palm) It was because I included the word "image". Fixed it. However, it'll be several hours before version 2 will finish up loading. (sigh)

THANK YOU for catching that! (I guess none of my testers made it that far in the game.)

Overall, an enjoyable game.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

I freely admit I spent a lot more time on Wolfe's character. I guess I liked him best too.

[OokamiKasumi]

Accidental double-post.

[OokamiKasumi]

Wolfe's route...
I think it's because his route is somehow most realistic and true to their characters, at least the one

where you find grandma's recipes and decide to wait with a marriage.

Fairy tale or not, I wanted at least One realistic ending in there.

Fairytales are mostly simple and easy to understand, so it wouldn't be suitable to complain because of an easy storyline and sometimes unexpected (but hardly believable) twists, but it was interesting enough for me to try finding all of the endings.[/spoiler]

Interesting enough to keep playing is more than enough to make me happy!

I only had some problems with a game crashing or simply stopping, but I'm not sure is it to my computer or something else, as I had to forcefully restart my computer to start working properly.

I suspect that is because of your video card. Before I bought my new computer that runs Windows 7, 64 bit, my computer did exactly the same thing with VNs -- stopped cold, made the pictures look wonky, AND crashed.

I also had an error with the frog6 and frog7 pictures.

Found the image error and have fixed it. Now it's just a matter of waiting several hours for all the uploads to finish. (I'm on DSL.) Sigh...
