An amazing realistic experience. I love how the game builds attention to the character's true feelings for each other while they have to fight the barrier that is preventing them from being open in the first place. Get writing for a visual novel that plenty of people can relate to.
it's sweet and i love it!!
thank you :D
Wow spanish TL thanks
One of the nicest short renpy story I encountered so far. The art/music/writing/and the kinda original way the text is laid.
This is a shiny little jewel. Thanks you creators, be proud, you'd totally deserve lot of endless praise <3
The sad ending made my throat go all stiffy :<
Awww, thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy it.
Fun and sweet little game. Worth checking out.
Hello, I just downloaded the game and gave it a go, it was quite enjoyable!
Yet, I'm looking forward to give it a proper Spanish translation, if so, please, let me know.
Sure thing. DM me on Twitter, same username
Aww it was so sweet! I really enjoyed playing it, loved the way you mixed text UI together! Banger music track too, loved it!
Hiii! I'm the composer, Jeroz told me about your comment so I just gotta say thankyou so much!!! Super glad ya liked ^_^
You did a great job with it!
I like how you threw a very active and a very (supposedly) passive character together, and created some interesting dynamics between them. Plus, the cuteness. ;)
I especially enjoyed the "breaking out of her shell" ending, if you can call it that, although both endings are sweet, indeed.
A noteworthy thing: The opening screen (the main menu) really set up a nice mood. It was this screen with both its music and its simple, yet effective visuals that drew me in. Whoever designed that: Nice job, because first impressions count! :)
An unfulfilled wish #1: I would've loved to see a CG with both of them looking at those comets! I mean, it's even in the title! Like, it's in the title! But probably not in the budget? ;)
An unfulfilled wish #2: The art appears to focus on Julie, which is nice, given her looks and all, but I would've really liked to see more of Dina as well. She just seems more like "my kind of girl", I guess. ;)
Bottom line: Pretty decent job, I liked it. Will leave a few coins behind, because it's worth it.
Please keep creating!
I'm glad you like this a lot. I personally like constantly shifting dynamics, so having asymmetrical character types is fun to write.
Yeah unfortunately we ran out of time wrt to CG production, I could draw one in a future devlog post.I got think a couple more old sketches of Dina which I can share as well if you like.
Yes, please do share them with us, if you can find the time for it!
Thanks! :)
That was great! Top notch yuri! (Julie and Dina are so cute together...!!) Loved the menu animation and the art too.
ikr, aren't they just the cutest?
It was a nice and sweet story and I enjoyed both the endings. The music, animation and story all fit together very nicely too. :)
I really enjoyed this, it was so heartwarming, sweet and i like some of the space talk, i love space in general so it really peaked my interest, even though it seemed more futuristic, i hope you didnt mind by i decide to make a few youtube videos of it as a kind of mini series to hopefully get more people to experience this hidden gem, i'm a small channel but i still want people to see your amazing work, keep it up :)
oh no, please go ahead. I highly welcome it. Thank you so much
Im glad :) I hope more people download this game
Cute,short story,i enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you! I'm so happy that you liked it.
