Oh well, thus far I wrote only sixty dialogues so it will take me quite a while as yet.
To papillon: Since you offered to help with code, don't you know by chance a script for displaying text letter-by-letter so as to give an impression that it is pronounced by a character?
I used the following one:
where global.dialogue_to_display contains a string with text and global.dialogue is the text drawn on screen. And there is an object drawing value of global.dialogue (also using function draw_text_ext) after script is executed.
It works fine when there is only one line to display. But when it comes to multiline text, some words are split by the script in the end of lines and drawn correctly by the object after script is executed.

One new screenshot from the game is below.

I used the following one:
Code: Select all
for(i=0;i<string_length(global.dialogue_to_display)+1;i+=1)
{
global.dialogued = string_copy(global.dialogue_to_display,1,i);
draw_text_ext(56,288,global.dialogue,-1,420);
screen_refresh();
sleep(60);
}

It should probably be something related to the story... of course not SM: Hotaru's Story ^_^
SM Memorial is as you said a bit unoriginal, and also nothing-saying. It's like Legend Of Fairies, True Love, Let's Meow Meow or others
Ideally, the title should be interesting and original + make some deeper sense when you finish the game. For instance Divi-Dead, Ever 17 or Snow Drop.
A middle way is picking a name or the global theme. For example Gloria, Sensei 2, Desire or similar.
So it's important to know as much about the game as possible - you probably know what the story will be, so I'd suggest just playing with words for a while, so that the title can sum up the game in more than one way.

It looks really good.
I can't tell which parts are fan-made, or if the entire production is.
The thing which really stands out is the very professional presentation, all in a package that's under 3mb (including in-game music)! It even puts Ren'Py to shame by making it bloatware by comparison.
Let's see, it's got
-well-layed-out planning u.i.
-watercolor backgrounds that mesh well with character (not to mention it really feels like you're in the Sailor Moon universe.
-the simple music that doesn't feel too midi and is very similar to what might be used in the anime.
This is really impressive. I went back to check to see if I had made any discouraging posts, because frankly I wasn't too interested before.
But now, wow. Definitely something you should be proud of.

Hmmm, I've played it for a bit now, and I have to say, the visuals are really wonderful - pro-style sprites and BGs they also have a certain warmth. Graphical design is excellent. 510*380 or so resolution is really unorthodox, but it's probably the reason why you can have small pictures and keep the package lightweight.
As for the story, it's a bit sad that there isn't any. It seems like a question and answer round with questions repeating every day... but maybe the story will come later on.
I also kind of need to get used to the controls. Enter for selection is fine, but spacebar isn't really intuitive. But it doesn't matter, I need to be more flexible . I'll be back with more impressions later. Again, congratulations on the release!
