Senpai, Please Look at me! [GxB] [Otome, Slice-of-Life]

[silversporksama]

SYNOPSIS
It's Valentines's day, the most dreaded day of all, but as a typical shoujo heroine type character you are definitely prepared for its' outcome - however the heck it may turn out to be.
Armed with a box of homemade chocolates full of your love, you embark on a one-day quest to hunt down senpai and GIVE IT TO HIM STRAIGHT.
It won't be like all those previous failed years at all, you hope. This chocolate isn't going on a turnaround route to your best friend (who hopes otherwise)!
A parody otome game with five endings and a fair amount of extra content!

PROJECT INFO
Hello, all~ Krissy of Silverspork Productions here!
It's been a few years and multiple scrapped projects since I've last posted, but at this point we can happily say this is a project we're too attached to (and too close to completion) to give up.
A little background on this game, "せんぱい ~私を見てください~" (lit. "Senpai ~Please Look At Me~").
It was initially tossed together as a project for a Nihongo class project a couple years ago (even we find it hard to believe it's been that long).
Just recently, we picked it up again decided to fix up for others to try out.
Our class and a few alpha-testers gave positive feedback about the game, so we hope you'll all enjoy it as well when we get it up!

Some of the scenarios are written to poke fun at a few common otome game details,
though we might have gotten carried away and put more focus on romance than on making it a parody,
but there's enough lighthearted humor to go around!

Funny. I have a similar project but then it's centered on either choosing the senpai or the kouhai... and it's a BxG. Best of luck.

P.S.

Who's senpai?

I got a little curious and checked out your project and I can see the slight resemblance in theme, but am glad that overall our projects are entirely different. ^^; it would have been totally awkward if concepts would match up oops...

Thank you so much! (^o^)/ (*gently bottles up the luck and hangs it up on the thread for old time's sake*)

Senpai is actually... literally just "Senpai" (goodness I hope the images are loading just fine here) and there's a little bit of an ingame joke regarding his lack of identity!

SMALL UPDATE!
We've got an demo up with 2 of the five endings and most of the main dialogue!
Do give it a try for Senpai! ...Or James... Whichever floats your boat. ship. whatever.

(Currently only have a mediafire download up, but I'll probably upload the file directly on the post a little later after I get some sleep!)

And I just noticed... this game is actually in 3:4 (aspect ratio). I guess 3:4 was really common a couple of years a back? Got any plans to move to 16:9 (widescreen) though it probably won't be detrimental to user experience.

Downloading the demo now.

Well, I guess I've just gotten used to 3:4 and never really moved on from an 800x600px game window;; It's kind of funny, my previous projects would either stick to it or shrink down significantly (I had an old scrapped project that was 300x300px once!) but never really went any bigger. It's really just some old habit that's been around since... 2006...

I-in a more honest sense though, I'm not confident that my art skills would translate well to widescreen resolutions, so I'm sticking to this until I learn to like my work.


I hope you enjoy the demo somehow! It's kind of... lackluster without most of the endings, but I like to think it already gives a good feel of the characters and the story... ^^;

The mediafire link sadly only leads to the general mediafire site - at least for me that is the case. Did something go wrong?

She placed an extra " at the end of the URL. Remove that and you're ready to go.

Yikes, can't believe I missed that! Thank you so so so very much for pointing it out!



Anyway, I've fixed the link and uploaded a copy directly on the main post as well! ;;
