So with time passing by at an alarming rate, I realised I won't have enough time to draw images myself. So, I'll be rummaging around the Creative Commons forum! So if you've put up some sprites in there I might be in touch soon!

I've added new pictures. I'm using sprites generously donated from Widget, YonYonYon and Bubblesfish. I'm still undecided on a couple of other characters, particularly the main male character. Enjoy!

I've now added characters emotional changes, so it doesn't look odd when characters are supposed to be crying but have huge grins.

I'm using this game in class on Tuesday, so the deadline has been set. Busy weekend coming up.

So yesterday a completed version of the game was released to my students for their final English class at Junior High School. Lots of laughs were held, and lots of feedback received (mainly about my own language errors, lol), but on the whole it was successful. During the class we had challenges to find the answers to certain questions, as well as an 'ending password challenge', where students tried to find as many endings as possible. I'll be releasing it online later on today, but just wanted to thank everyone for the help so graciously given to get this going.

AHHHhh oh man I had completely missed this because it wasn't upped on the Completed Games section. I'm super glad that progress has been swimming and that it's completed! Thank you for PM-ing me about the sprite you used; you didn't have to do that, but it made so happy and excited that it was actually used. ;w; Ahhh. Thank you thank you so much!

A-And oh man I am currently playing this game right now and crying at how horrible my japanese is. XD But it's really adorable so far! I'll get back to you when I've cleared the game. :D :D

ETA; I got the wedding ending! This game was absolutely adorable. I loved the options presented, I would click on the wrong options on purpose because they were amusing and I wanted to see the characters' reactions. Everyone in the game is also really cute! Congratulations on finishing the game and thanks for the fun! *w*

Thanks, I'll be putting this in the completed section once ... well, once I've written a nicer post for it. :mrgreen:
