Great game! I can help you translate the game into Simplified Chinese. Please contact me if needed.
Thank you! I am currently looking into setting my game up to allow translations to be possible. Currently, Chinese is not a priority (mostly because it'd require a new font and adjusting a lot of other things) but if I need it in the future, I will let you know.
That's fantastic! It would be an honor for me to translate a great pixel game. My email is huang907260172@163.com. Feel free to save it if you need it!
Just played the demo, and I'm really looking forward to the release of this game!! Love the premise, and the environments and characters look very cool :^) Good work!
Thank you so much for playing, it means so much to me! Check out the full game on the 23rd! :)
Just played through the demo on Steam for a few minutes. A few thoughts :
1. The main character looks like a boy though I feel that may have been intentional.
2. The diagonal movement is slower than the cardinal movement. It really feels off trying to move.
3. You can't exit a room through the door immediately after you enter it.
4. The presentation feels nice though to be frank I lost interest half-way. Hope there isn't combat in the game. It feels like a good take on the Earthbound/Undertale formula.
5. Also good name! I was able to remember it even after a few months seeing it.
Anyway, good job! Hope the bugs I have described have already been fixed in the current build.
Thank you so much for playing the demo and your feedback!
To address what you said, yes the player's gender isn't too deeply important. It is a girl but it can also be whatever you want it be in some way :)
I've been trying to fix that bug, I adjusted the moving speed recently and it's been weird moving diagonal ever since. I'll definitely try to get it fixed. It's the mathematically correct speed for diagonal movement but it just doesn't feel right.
There is no combat in the game and if I may ask, at what point was it less interesting? Perhaps I can still adjust it in some way!
Thank you so much!
Love the art style and designs! Looking forward to playing this :)
Thank you! It means a lot :)
Wishlisted, really charmed by the pixelart. Baller. Banger. Wahoo.
Thank you! :D
Wahoo!
