i haven't gotten to play this yet, but just knowing that this exists makes me very excited, as i want to try to make a cooking sim through renpy! I was just about to give up deciding it couldn't be done, but then i saw this and it's given me hope again! It's really amazing what you can do with this engine with just a little creativity
thank you for checking out my game! creating something like a ‘cooking sim’ in ren’py sounds difficult but i dont think its impossible imo :o TLC is a very rough rudimentary idea of a simulator (clicking on things and putting ingredients together in a list) but i think it was a good foundation for a basic idea should i ever decide to make something a little more complicated. :) i recommend checking out ‘a tavern for tea’ by npckc and ‘va-11 hall-a’ (which was originally made in ren’py before they switched to gamemaker), which follow the same premise of being a drink-making sim! maybe they can help somehow!
best of luck with your own ideas! id love to give it a play should it come to fruition :)
thank you so much!! I'll check out both of those
I just completed the game after having it in my list for a little while. It was very relaxing, a nice moment just to read lines and relate to a character.
Although, I do wonder what you used to create the game! It motivated me to want to make one myself.
thank you for the kind comment! i used ren’py to put everything together, though i did also use clip studio paint to illustrate the art. i believe shaun(taro) used photoshop to work on the backgrounds, and temathy(tainment) used ableton to make the tunes!
Ohhhh interesting! I belive i've looked in to ren'py before. Thank you very much! Both for making the game and giving me information
never mind, i got the true end!how do i get the true ending? I got the mid ending, and good ending-thank you for taking the time to get all the endings! i hope it was worth all the trouble in the end :)
the game is so great and beautiful with the vibe and the music .It makes the game worth to play. Thanks for this masterpiece.
such an absolute delight. i found this game because im new to development and wanted to learn from it's design, but after a few playthroughs i just completely fell in love with it. so charming, cozy, funny, and all around wholesome in the best way. it even featured a drink that used to be a major part of my routine! i highly recommend anyone looking for a mood booster, good art, or just a way to pass some time give this game a try
Great game dealing with uni bunout. Found this on the
Lemma Soft Forums

Just finished the game, it's very healing! musics are nice. the design of story really hit the spot. Nice game!
