Hey, I'd love to check this out, but I have made three attempts at downloading and opening the file. Every time I try to extract it, I get this error message:

"Central and local directory mismatch for file "NAOMI-1.1-all/NAOMI-1.1-.app/Contents/Info.plist" (general purpose flags - local: 0 hex central: 800 hex)"
Reader Beware!

That's really strange! Can I ask what your OS is and what extractor you're using? I've had one other person saying they couldn't open it but that's it.

I'll look into it!

ETA: Are you using WinZip? After a bit of googling that seems to be what comes up in association with that error.
ETA2: I'm reuploading NAOMI, one zip for each OS. I'll post here/ETA again when I'm done.
ETA3: All OS builds are uploaded as their own downloads now! http://bto3.itch.io/naomi

That seems to have done the trick, thanks!

EDIT: Finished a couple of minutes ago, and overall I'd say it was well-done. I liked how you sensitively handled the subject, and respectively portrayed Naomi. But there are certain elements that make me wish this was a bit longer and it could delve into if it were longer (like Naomi's relationship with her family, Haiden's own depression, etc.). Great release for #JamForLeelah! Maybe I'll participate next year if I'm not so busy.

It worked fine for me. And honestly, I thought it was great. Poor Naomi! I think there's real potential to do more with these characters! Maybe expand and make a longer version some time? Or have them crop up in something else? It was such a sweet friendship story!

Thank you so much! :D

Wonderful! It seemed to be primarily a download error (not getting all the pieces it needed/adding in random pieces it DOESN'T need), so I hoped a small download might fix that! Thanks for letting me know about the trouble though! I think I'm covered now!

Thank you thank you! I do have plans to work with the characters more, but this particular chapter of their story is done, aside from an update with perhaps a couple of CGs. Hopefully, I'll be going into Haiden's background for NaNoRenO, which would take place before the events of NAOMI and include how they met in the first place!

I love little friendship stories like this myself and I'm so glad to hear that I was able to accomplish something sweet with this!

Ohh~! I would love to see that come about!

Haha! I'm proud of myself then! Thanks for loving them! <3

So unless something terrible happens, I'm going to shoot for NaNoRenO. I do well with time constraints, which is news to me, but not unwelcome news in the slightest!

Naomi_Bonus was originally included in the main download (NAOMI-1-1-all) but I forgot to put it in the individual uploads for each OS. It's the animated versions of the little bios in the bonus section and a single large image of the credits.

Just want to thank you for releasing this. It was a short and sweet story, so major kudos to everyone who worked on it. Thank you.

Aw, this was a sweet story. The art is really, really adorable, and I really like the GUI - and also the font you used for the character names haha.
I loved the sketch in the extras section of Haiden and Naomi, it was so cute. With all the dokis~
The character profiles were also a really nice touch - it's a good way to dispense information you can't fit into the main bulk of the story XD

It was short, but the ending seemed like a good place to leave off. I guess the ending seems fairly hopeful, despite the bleak implications about Naomi's less-than-acepting parents. At least she has Haiden to help her? ;_;

Hm, I think it was a little bit 'blunt' about some rather important issues, like Haiden's depression and Naomi's relationship with her parents, and glossed over it quite quickly, but it's only a short VN so it's understandable.

Good job! n_n;
I have a lot of free & commercial VNs available on Steam and itchio.io if you want to check them out! ☆
