The main menu looks great, I like the abstract spacious feel. It does somewhat give me the feel of cyberspace. The save and gallery menu looks fantastic.
Awww, thank you so much!! As the demo is coming out soon (aka the contest is ending soon), I thought it would be nice to update as much as possible! The only issue now is ... for the next 4 days, i'll just be focusing on writing, so I most likely won't be updating until Thursday or Friday this week! T _ T;;
And thank you!!!!!!! I REALLY am so happy that you like the UI for the game so far. I'm always worried if things feel jarring or disconnected.
As for the quote - I hope it does bring (a little???) encouragement to people as they play the game.
Hehe~

I didn't even know any of this was possible in any of them, and I use them
Which engine are you using for this?
Hahaha! Yea, it is a sad thing that they aren't accepting *any* game engine this year. We are currently using RPG Maker MV! The Programmer is custom writing a lot of the script to accommodate for some of the features we'd like to have. On that note - some things may not make it in time! A couple weeks is too short to write custom plug-ins. XD

From the short description, your VN seems like a romance VN...but I'm betting it starts off as one thing (romance) and infact turns into something else (the "dark" portion).
I guess my question is why did you choose Browsers (turning them into avatars/humans) of all things, as the confine in which to express these dark themes like bullying (perhaps this VN is centered around online bullying?), sexual assault and gender crisis?
Just very curious
Hi illuminate001! Thank you so much for that thought! It is the sort of "mood" we're trying to set - a seemingly normal high school life story with potential romance options, but as you go through the story, life isn't always rainbows and unicorns every step of the way!
Oh boy, as for your question. It's going to be a bit long-winded, but it started off with the thought that "I want everyone to know that they're beautiful." I asked The Programmer if he'd like to join the game jam and at that point, he said he had a lingering idea about making a game about the history of web browsers. It all started with Netscape and went on to Internet Explorer. There were struggles for power (IE vs. other browsers), good initiatives taken on behalf of the people (i.e. Mozilla & Chromium Project), and browsers that went unloved (i.e. Opera, and others). With that in mind, we wanted to share the story of how web browsers came to be, while trying to
subtly indicate that - just like browsers - you are perfectly fine just the way you are. IE may be slow and annoying to some, but people still use it. Mozilla was loved by many until Chrome came out. Opera was part of the same base project that Chrome came from.
Ultimately, no matter what, there will always be someone out there who loves/loved all the browsers that ever came to be, in any way, shape, or form that it was made. Even if you're slow or not-optimized like IE. Even if you open windows at a slower rate than Chrome. People will still want you.
Is that too cheesy? Hope that answers your question!
