last time i left a review(on a different game), admin gave me a ban-able offense warning for leaving a review that is too short, which is impossible because the UI will error out and not let you post, On top of that, my post was 10 words longer than the minimum. So no more reviews for me. This will have to do.
Ulith,
I just finished v 55.
It is really difficult to rate the game, because it is all over the place. It starts out pretty bad, and slowly gets better and better. 3.5 stars is what I am going with; If it was redone to the same quality it is at the end, i would up that to 4.5.
It is obvious english isnt your first language. Considering that, you did pretty good, and I didnt get a headache trying to follow along. It got better and better as time went on, and you(I) could easily see a progression in quality. I highly recommend going back and rewriting the beginning. At the end, you either have excellent skills now, or someone is helping you, it looks great.
When you have a VN, lore is important, you shouldnt offer to skip it. Those offers broke my immersion, and really arent necessary. The game has a built-in feature to skip ahead, for people already familiar with the lore.
Visually, the game is pretty basic. I can see the places where you took the extra effort, and you show skill, it is a shame you dont put that effort into all your scenes. I like how you were able to visually describe the different personalities.
The premise, plot, or storyline, is pretty good. If it isnt original, then I have just been unlucky to not run by it before. Usually i know where a story is going to finish in the first few minutes, and that is boring. Your story can go in so many different directions, and each of them good. I am interested where you take us.
Thank you for sharing your hard work with us. I appreciate your efforts, and hope you will continue to produce. Your skills have improved drastically, and I imagine they will continue to do so. Best of luck to you.
