Wow, thanks. I was honestly worried for a while that it wouldn't be at all liked; guess I was sure wrong about that. And I assure you, it wasn't just half the night... basically, all of Ichigo's side (except for around 1000 words) was done on Saturday night. I figured the super-rush would kinda show.
Ooooh yeah. Big time. Jumping between perspectives has always been something I'm fond of, but Collage absolutely blew me away, and I've really been trying to incorporate that inspiration into something. I honestly don't think I would've bothered to try making a game if not for it-- it really shows that you don't need to be a great artist to have a piece that makes good use of the format.DaFool wrote:1.) The style is very reminiscent of the al|together 2006 Jp game Collage. The text, the hyper-sliding widescreen backgrounds, the multiple perspectives, music. Tell me this wasn't at least inspired by it, and I'd have a hard time believing you.
I don't actually know what you mean at all! The only time I use NVL mode is in the notes section (as pretty much just an afterthought)... everything else is just normal characters. So I'm not entirely sure what you mean by Crusader Mode, but don't worry, you haven't been beaten to the punch yet.DaFool wrote:3.) I didn't realize the click-to-continue indicator issue with NVL mode was actually useful, until I saw it here. By the way, I also did experiments using NVL mode in a larger-than-average textbox style -- I called it 'Crusader Mode' (named after the Crusader Helm which is the extreme widescreen slit that's become of the backgrounds). Apart from the humbling experience of being beaten to it with regards to using Crusader mode, I like the usage here and it couldn't be any better. Good job!
It also gets perfect reception in a concrete parking lot and in the Tokyo subway! I really want one, these are clearly some INCREDIBLY awesome cell phones.DaFool wrote:4.) Does the cell phone battery run out? I don't remember the green bars becoming any less as the story progressed
ARGH. I knew I'd end up doing things like that. Thanks for telling me... *thud*gekiganwing wrote:One thing which could be corrected: the heroine's week at school. In most Japanese schools, she would probably have to go to school on half of Saturday.
