Don't say that your English isn't good! You're too humble XDzhaie wrote:Akemi-Takashi wrote:I REALLY loved the game even if I didn't expect to have. In all honesty, I was planning to just test my own patience to see how long I could survive with a Tagalog (Tanglish) Visual Novel because it's my second language (full Filipino blood but raised in an English society) but you, my dear, broke me down.
I mean, you got me hooked the moment things got confusing (although the transition, to be honest, could have been better )!LIKE! SINCE WHEN DID RAYDEN BECOME YOUR BOYFRIEND?Anyways, in regards to the art, I know they're freebies, but you made the best out of what those freebies offered! Although the heroine's character barely showed up other than on transition screens or CGs (which, I would like to add to credit Rinmaru), the expressions of the other characters fit VERY well with the personalities and background stories you have given them. Not only that, but you made each character very likable in their own sense.Shaizee's character was intriguing. It reminded me of typical Filipinas (well, not really; typical being my mom) who I would REALLY have wanted to be friends with. She doesn't leave her studies as well! Oh, how I aim to do thatI found it very amusing how the love interests were each in different grades. You could pursue either your senpai, your childhood friend who's the same age as you, or a kohai. Somehow, you targetted my weak spots XD Especially in the kohai direction, not that I like younger guys. No, not just that, but it somehow gave me a vibe with a "first love" kind of thing. I'm a sucker for guys who pursue or wish happiness to their first love.
LIZ! FROM THE VERY START, I WAS ROUTING FOR HER TO END UP WITH THE KUYA! I mean, not Lan or things would have been awkward, but still. I was so happy she liked Croix. Her character in itself was very intriguing. She supported her friend albeit knowing the "full" story. Although she seemed to be very similar to Shaizee, it made a tad sense since they've been together since grade 5.
Lanier is the typical "guy next door" or something. His character somehow reminds me of my best friend since he is very sociable but is somehow dense as heck. If this were an anime, I would have said something like, "Shaizee, you could aim for so much better!", but Lan had his moments XD I mean, although not very memorable, still quite amusing.
Nash was someone I thought had a secret agenda towards Shaizee... but he's such a sweetie~. If I had to label him, he would be the innocent senpai. Pfffffffffft. An opposite compared to another person in the story. Nash isn't at all straightforward with his approaches which give him a suspicious vibe, so I was VERY reluctant on playing his route first and I still somehow feel that the vibe hasn't been completely erased, but his innocence somewhat made up for it.
Croix, although played a minor role, still made an impact. It's like he's the "older brother/onii-chan" you've always wanted: the overprotective one. Reminds me of Touya in CardCaptor Sakura but not so much of a bully.
Mabey was such a sweet teacher. For a moment, I thought you were going to give off a "I don't like this teacher" vibe in the story, but no. Although she always sends Shaizee off to do tasks, she still shows she cares about her throughout the story. Except that moment down Rayden's route.
RAYDEN! Oh gosh, now that was the best. Na-gets ko na bakit gusto sya nang lahat! KUUDERE + TSUNDERE = PERFECTION! And the fluffy hair; can't forget the fluffy hair. Or the ice cream obsession. Or the overprotectiveness. He's the exact opposite of Nash. He's the mature kohai who doesn't get attention because he chooses not to interact. I'm not even sure if he got bad luck meeting Shaizee at the park or good luck because they eventually got together. AND HE WAS WILLING TO RISK SOMETHING PRECIOUS TO HIM BECAUSE SHE HAD AMNESIA! And he seemed like an anime lover because of that Ferris wheel scene! Still I LOVED HIM!
Although, I'd like to comment on an aspect that wasn't fully answered but rather, implied throughout the game.I know that she got rejected, but how and when did she begin liking Rayden? I thought it would have been answered in Liz's side of the story, but it just showed a very heartbreaking scene with Rayden telling her about something. Ahhhhh... How could you be so selfless, Rayden! He showed how much he cared for her in each route that I thought he was going to go full-on yandere at some point (unlikely). You really had to program the most heartbreaking one to be unlocked at the end... You're the... BEST!Oh, one last comment: although it would be nice to have the game be in English so that it could reach a larger crowd, the way it is now seems to suit the story, atmosphere, and... well... basically everything better. The Tanglish made it very humorous, so I'm not exactly sure how English could communicate it in the same way. Or that might just be me. But I give you two thumbgs up for this visual novel. Well done!
Thank you very much for completing the game ;w;
I kinda expect that Filipino-speakers will think that way at first, but I am trying to test myself if I can make them read my stories til the end, and idk, I think it's a success?
Since you liked it x'D
And thank you for that.
And at the transition... I was trying to make the players go "What?", I am trying to confuse the players x'D so I abruptly inserted "that".
I was playing visual novels wherein the mc is not shown in the screen so I applied that in my game. I'm really thankful to Elze though since her art is really nice. And also to Rinmaru, I am going to add him/her in the credits. I am still editing the game. OvO);
Oh aboutDenden, I was planning to add something to the new version since I do feel like I rushed something there.
Anyway, currently, I am translating it to English, and it's quite a challenge. I decided to add a dictionary for those terms that can't be translated to English. I'm afraid the humor might fail but I'm trying my best.
And as you can see, my English is not really good, I can converse in English but my vocabulary is limited.
Again, thank you very much for trying my story :')
Oh thank you! I'll keep that in mind ;w;)dAkemi-Takashi wrote:Don't say that your English isn't good!

If you would like any help, I'm glad to offer some help if you wish to have the it be proofread but it's just an offer. I can't wait to see the new and improved Visual Novel.
Thank you! All my games are set in the Philippines :')Enchant00 wrote:Wow, a Filipino Setting I'm from the Philippines and I say good job on your first game release. I look forward to playing it HAHA
Thank you for pointing that out, I'm gonna fix that immediately after I get out of the hospital x'Dmugenjohncel wrote:OK... I downloaded this and encountered a "Minor" bug (I think)... which is not critical as far as I can see...
If you started a game and you haven't played it yet... If you go to the config and check the dictionary and hit return, instead of returning to the config menu, you jump straight out to the start of the game... like I said, minor and does not affect the game... Once you played the game, after you reached a certain menu, if you repeat the steps I just did, it will ask you if you want to go to the said menu... answering nein will jump you to start, if you chose yes, then you shall be transported to said menu... at this point, I'm not quite sure if this is a glitch or a workaround of some sort but all in all, it's a very complicated GUI to navigate initially...
I still have to finish playing it but once I did, I shall leave a proper reply...
Anyway, Great Work!...
"POOF" (Disappears)

Anyways, looks good and I have just downloaded it. Tapos ko na yung good end ni Nash. Di ko nga alam kung paano ako napunta sa route niya at sinusubukan kong mapunta sa kay Lanier. On the other hand, I answered the choices normally na parang, 'kung ako si Shaizee, ano ang sasabihin ko?'. Nung una na-weirdohan ako kay Nash. Para siyang mayabang at annoying until na-explain niya yung kanyang side. Then okay na at nag-enjoy ako sa rest of his route.
Nung una nakakainis din si Rayden pero habang naglalaro ako kahit nasa route ako ni Nash, kakaiba ang nararamdaman ko pag naguusap sila ni Shaizee. Halata kasing nagpapaka-tsun lang siya, eh. Kaya kahit bago ko silipin yung walkthrough, napagpasyahan ko nang i-huli siya (best guy last kasi ako madalas). Buti na lang pala, ganun intended sa actual game kaya di ko accidentally mapupuntahan ang route niya. Lalaruin ko na muna routes nung dalawa bago pumunta kay Rayden.
I'll make a proper review pag natapos ko na laruin yung buong game. Alam mo, I rarely open this account kasi di naman ako gumagawa ng game, player lang ako pero gusto ko talagang mag-comment kasi nga, unang pinoy game 'to na nakita ko at surprisingly, it's fun. Weird nung una dahil tagalog yung usap nila pero later, nasanay na din.
Nakita ko nga pala yung page ng iba mong work-in-progress na games. Nakaka-excite! Hihintayin ko talaga lumabas ang mga yun at lalaruin ko. Good luck na lang sa 'yo! Pag natapos ko laruin 'to at ini-release mo na yung english, lalaruin ko ulit (para mag-compare lang).
Question: yung english release ba ay magiging separate sa tagalog? May na-encounter kasi akong isang game na English and Spanish. Pwedeng baguhin na lang sa options kung alin ang language sa game kaya kahit naglalaro pwedeng magpalit-palit. Kung pwede yun, okay sana para di na dodoble ang files ng gustong makuha pareho ang original at english pero opinion ko lang yun.
Anyways, good luck! Hihintayin ko ang iba mo pang games.
Thank you!-LKays wrote:Nice a filipino game~! I'mma play it now and tell you my impressions >-<
Tapos ko na laruin. Inabot ako ng umaga dahil gabi ako nagla-laptop. XDzhaie wrote: Hello! Thank you very much!

Pero I'll take that suggestion in mind x'D

Hello! Thank you very much!
Ang balak ko paghihiwalayin ko sana OvO);
Pero I'll take that suggestion in mind x'D
Anyways, ang saya nung game. Grabe! Marami na akong nalarong vn/dating sim pero mas nag-enjoy ako dito dahil bukod sa tagalog, pinas pa ang setting kaya mas nakakarelate ako (In a sense na pinoy siya. Di in a romantic sense dahil NBSB ako haha).
Anyways, ang mali lang na nakita ko sa game siguro, yung pag natapos mo yung route ni Lanier, dun sa button para sa secret scenario niya, pangalan ni Rayden ang nakalagay. Tapos, may mga naa-unlock na mga words sa dictionary bago pa magpakita yung words sa game. Hindi ko maalala kung alin pero parang isa lang naman.
Okay... sa route ni Lanier, na-cute-an ako dahil nice guy siya. Natuwa ako kasi nakuha din ni Shaizee ang wish niya noon pa. At si Kuya Croix! Kuyang-kuya talaga! Naaalala ko kaming magkakapatid. Ate ako kaya nagaalala din ako sa mga kapatid ko. Haha natutuwa ako dahil merong game na not even remotely love interest ang onii-chan. (I mean, wala talaga silang subtext at Kuya talaga si Croix).Oh and Croix x Liz!!And Liz!!! MY in-game bff is best girl talaga! She's the best friend you never thought you're missing in your life! Wala kasi akong real life bestie kaya natuwa ako sa kanya.
Si Rayden. Kung sa dalawang route, kinilig ako sa romance parts nila, sa route ni Rayden, todo fangirl ako! Siya na talaga.Grabe, Kuudere siya pag sa simula (sa lahat kaya siya loner), tapos pag naging close kayo ng konti, nagiging Tsundere siya (as evidenced by his Ate) sa 'yo pero pag lampas dun at naging kayo na, grabe ang pagka-Dere niya! Ang cute grabe tapos overprotective bf pa siya (at yung nickname niya, added cuteness!). At yung pagiging tsun niya for most of the game, may magandang reason kaya di nakakainis. At magalang siya sa matatanda kaya nawala agad yung 'delinquent' vibes niya. And bait ni Rayden, grabe kaya nalulungkot ako pag iniisip ko kung ano na mangyayari sa kanya dun sa ibang route pag di siya pinili mo kasi kahit sa iba ka may gusto, he still does what he had to do na parang boyfriend mo pa rin siya kahit nasasaktan siya dahil sa selos. Denden masyado kang martyr! He wants what's best for Shaizee and that's super sweet. Also, mature siya na may pagka-bata pa rin pag nahuhuli mo siyang nagpapaka-tsundere lang at ang korni niya... alam niya talaga ang mga anime tropes para sa romance?May mga nalaro akong game na pag kouhai route, yung kouhai masyadong 'cute' or nagpapa-cute. Minsan nakakairita din pero opposite nun si Rayden dahil sa maturity at selflessness niya. Halos makakalimutan mo na mas bata siya sa 'yo. Anyways, I can relate tungkol sa ice cream-obsession niya. Mahilig din ako dyan. XD
Naiinis ako. Sana may sarili kang mga sprite na ginamit para sa game kasi, I think pag may nakita akong ibang game na ginamit yung parehong mga sprite, hindi ko lalaruin dahil forever na Shaizee and the gang sila para sa akin. Ang cute-cute pa naman ng sprite ni Rayden. <3
Ang ganda ng game so thanks for making it. I'll look forward to more from you.
