This looks good and by the makers of Halloween otome - I really enjoyed that.
1. As long as the protag is believable, I don't have an issue.
2. I want all of them.
3. Not overly fussed on mini-games.

I agree with Mimi_Melody, Mira looks so gorgeous in that main menu shot! And everything in general looks super great! You guys are doing such an awesome job! ♥

1) Would you play this - even if the protag is a little questionable? >_>
Yes. Mira is epic. I'd love to have her as a best friend/sister/what-the-frick-ever-just-get-in-my-life-already!!!!! :oops:
2) Do any of the characters catch your eye? Also why :P
Megane.... Daire... My love.... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
3) Are you disappointed in VO having no mini-games? (there may be something that we're adding called M-mode but that's still in the works for now)
To be honest, I loved the games in HO even though I had to look up a walkthrough for the slide puzzle :oops:, so yes, I think I'd be a little disappointed, but I'm so in love with Daire VO that I'd play without them. Mostly, I'm just sitting here, bouncing up and down going, "Publish! Publish! Publish! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaasse!!!!" :twisted: :oops:

1) Would you play this - even if the protag is a little questionable? >_> - Definitely!!! Mira looks awesome :D
2) Do any of the characters catch your eye? Also why :P - With regards to eye-catching, Mira's hairstyle is unusual for a VN, and absolutely stunning. Also, Daaaiire :D
3) Are you disappointed in VO having no mini-games? (there may be something that we're adding called M-mode but that's still in the works for now) - Na, mini-games are a bonus, not something I expect.
Please publish soon... please? :)

OMG IS THIS GONNA BE OUT BY VALENTINES DAY?! BECAUSE THAT'S LIKE 2 DAYS AFTER MY B-DAY AND I REEEEAAAAALLY WOULD LOVE THIS AS A B-DAY GIFT (it's kind of like a b-day gift right?) I so can't wait for the game to come out <--- been waiting since like August. I loved HO! Anyways the answers to your questions are below:

1) Would you play this - even if the protag is a little questionable? >_>
OF COURSE! In HO, I was wondering "Sooooo can I play as Mira, too?" AND NOW I CAN! And she's, like, the ideal bestie. She's beautiful AND fun (as in not a brat) AND loyal AND she's flirty (don't judge meh) so I love her (like a bestie. I have imaginary friends..... I'm so lonely)

2) Do any of the characters catch your eye? Also why :P
Uh... is all an option? xD I lurv all of them. Zane seems like he would be a player, Daire looks and sounds like he's the "silent, cool, and independent" type, and Kiron seems like he's going to be the guy who's gonna be the "gental" type, which is like really loyal and kind and such. I feel like he's going to be a little clumsy, too, but that might just be because I read too much manga x3 Anyways I love all of them!!!

3) Are you disappointed in VO having no mini-games? (there may be something that we're adding called M-mode but that's still in the works for now)
Well, personally, I loved the mini-games, but I'm fine with there not being any. After I played Halloween Otome and then found this work-in-progress, my instinct: Jump around my bedroom screaming "OMG OMG PUBLISH IT!!!!" So even if there aren't any mini-games, I'm fine with it.
I love singing, acting, and writing! I love all sorts of games (I can only play windows games tho) even gore and smut (i know, big difference and kinda perverted, but dun judge) I LOVE NIGHTCORE

I don't have a dirty mind, I just have a sexy imagination. ~Linda (mah buddy) 20-something

Lmfao, I love how calmly you're like "we've been really lazy with it", and here are pages full of fangirls posting excitedly that they're ready to give away their money and stuff. xD)))
If it's ok with me asking, what fanfics do you read?

Take your time, great projects take time. ;) These pages of females will always be here for motivation, and hopefully more people will visit too. n__n

THERE ARE HITMAN FANFICS??? 0_0 Where have I been??
Ooh, Naruto fanfics are entertaining. *__* I read those too awhile back.
And by "Tsubasa" do you mean The Reservoir Chronicles or something else? o_0 If yes, then let me be one of the many fangirls to say FAI IS TOO ADORABLE I CAN JUST SMOTHER HIM IN HUGS AND STICK HIM IN MY POCKET BUT I'M ALSO DRAWN TO KUROGANE'S AWESOME, BAD BOY DEMEANOUR.
*cough cough* And if that's not the Tsubasa you're talking about, please disregard my crazy outburst. >___>

This demo covers the prologue of the game.
The full version will be pay what you want (including free)

RE: the crowded screens---

It really depends on the situation. If the scene is meant to be buzzing with activity, then I think the crowding won't hurt too much, but this should probably be done sparingly. So you may want to fade the sprites most of the time.

Re: Valentines otome [GxB][VN] demo out

About the crowded scenes, I agree that it depends. At the bar it really fits, bars are crowded and it makes it feel more real (and fun), but it'd be weird if everyone was always super close to each other.

After playing, I think I'm just in love with everyone. Daire, Zane, and Mira really stand out to me, but I enjoyed the interplay between everyone the most. You guys are really skilled at writing friendly fun scenes. Emma and Mira are the cutest together. I love their friendship to bits. I laughed out loud so many times.

I was a little confused when being introduced to the guys because Mira seemed to know about them, but previously treated them like strangers. It felt like there was an explanation or two missing somewhere.

I looooove the CGs. Zomg. Daire is ridiculously beautiful in his. I like that Zane has stubble, it's something I enjoy and rarely see in otome. The art in general was really amazing.

I look forward to the finished game!

For the record, I didn't get that feeling at all. I thought the introductions went perfectly, so I don't know what you could change there. I don't think you need to change anything.

Love the cliffhanger. Curious to see where it goes from there.

yeah...that may be for the best, otherwise maia ends up behind mira's bubblespace too often

Hmm? well Zane is a popular author and former party-doer so is a little famous. So even if they haven't met before, after hearing his name, her suspicions are confirmed.Gotta remember he's sorta a recluse now compaired to his old days. Daire was just the guy she was scoping at the bar and she only 'pretends' to know him when he leaves for the bar again. Kiron is just friendly coz he was Maia's teacher.

Im glad you like the end! ;D
we'll have to split the story and have boys chosen from the start like those androidy games because of it though ^^'
