Noah is very cute, I wouldn't even have noticed yandere's features in him if I hadn't known in advance. The drawing is very pleasant and emphasizes the atmosphere of a secluded place among inhospitable swamps.
I will follow the development of the project with interest.
I am extremely normal about this game and about Noah (jump cut to me losing my mind in a good way). I love the dialogue so much, the way he sounds like a tired introvert who just wants to sleep in the privacy of his own room but MC keeps knocking on the door, trying to talk to him and get inside. I also like that you made the dialogue smaller to show that he's mumbling to himself. I love that he always sounds quiet; even when he gets mad and his font goes into boldface, it never feels like he raises his voice, which is just *chef's kiss* so cool.
I love how you show his emotions through subtle shifts in his facial expressions. Literally just lowering his eyebrows makes him feel so menacing because it feels like he's very careful at controlling his expressions, which makes me feel that he's a lot angrier than he looks. Oh my gosh, and the CG where he's standing over you, head tilted, right shoulder slightly up is SO menacing.
Oh oh, and that sound effect of his bedroom door opening sent chills up my spine every time!
I have some questions about the full game, but I'll ask them on your Tumblr since that's where you asked to have them sent. (I would also love to draw some fanart for you if I can get around to it lol.)
All this to say, you did a fantastic job at characterizing Noah, at making this world so immersive, and at setting up the foundation for so many fascinating mysteries. Thank you for making such a delicious yandere game.
It means a lot knowing how much the [Extended Demo] had a positive impact for you. I really can't say much due to spoilers/going over the script but I will say this, I'm happy the few dialog adjustments/sprite expressions were noticed in the form of a foreboding element! That CG you mentioned is one of my favorites that I drew since I was extremely new to perspective drawing and still developing my art style! :,]
Feel free to send in your asks whenever and if you ever get around to drawing fan art I'd like so see it! All I ask is that it's nothing Explicit/NSFW since that's not what I'm going for in my works! Overall, thank you so much for your meaningful words of support, I really do appreciate it! :]
I think that I played every good route in the extended demo. Noah is kind, gentle, patient, understanding, protective, stern, smart, a good cook, handsome, a gentleman, and has really pretty blue eyes. He seems tired a lot, and has dark circles under his eyes, and seems a bit stressed out because of the player, but I think he's precious. I would honestly stay with him forever. Let me marry him, and I'll be happy. Also, I love the animation. The rain on the main menu, and the steam from the bowl of soup, and the cup of tea are really cool and helps with the immersion. Keep up the great work, and I hope that you still take breaks, and relax sometimes.
I appreciate the time you took out to play through everything! :,]
Your views on Noah and their perspective towards the player(Y/N) are very thoughtful and I wish I could say more but spoilers and still going through the script! :,] I'm glad you enjoyed the animations I added which I'm hoping to do more of in the future especially during the window scenes and in some of the Bad Endings. :,]
I'm trying to aim for a couple of comfy aesthetic scenes and it's good knowing I'm hitting the mark with immersion. Thank you for your continued support, I have been taking breaks and just brainstorming but I'm hoping to get that one Valentine's Day sketch finished at some point since it has lore attached. Again, thank you so much for playing and support, I appreciate it! :]
hi !! i cant seem to get past day one, idk if its cuz i make some wrong choices or if the build or something isnt updated? im playing on a mac btw <33 would love to play the new update but rn its the same as the old demo for me and itch says that my version is the latest :(
Hello and thank you for bringing this to my attention!
As far as choices go, to get the two full routes that continue the rest of Day 3, try to avoid losing too much closeness with Noah before you reach this section.
Once you get here, 2 out of the 5 choices will continue into the rest of Day 3 depending on what you do next. For the second full route, here's a very small hint, you have to be very sneaky. >;] I'd highly recommend saving right here once you reach a high amount of closeness with Noah.
The first full route starts in the morning with the player(Y/N) being woken up by a noise.
The second full route starts in the afternoon with the player(Y/N) waking up normally. (This one might be a little tricky to find.)
As for the build, if the following screenshot looks like this within your game, that's from the March 2023 demo and won't have any full routes. A lot of CG's were updated and no longer in the [Extended Demo]:
If you're still having trouble/issues please let me know! :]
Thank you so much for playing this [Extended Demo]! I went through and even though I wasn't able to watch the entire video, it was nice seeing your choices through the different routes/dialog choices. I was surprised you got one of the hidden neutral endings first! I also noticed one of the full routes wasn't found in your playthrough so I went and added two more CG's on the front game page because of this as a hint! Again, thank you for giving my game a chance again and playing it! :,]
I had a fun time playing the demo! I checked out everything that I couldn't before, and honestly, I can't wait for the next release! Noah is still a mystery guy to me. Why does he live in the middle of nowhere? With all the blizzard weather, I doubt that he enjoys any of that, hahaha. Perhaps he has some cards up his sleeve, huh... Oh well, at least he is nice... For now оmo"
Yay, I'm happy to know you enjoyed this! As far as the next release, it'll be something I'll discuss in a future master post! :,]
To answer a bit of your question, Noah hints at how he feels about some of the weather through varying dialog at times in the extended demo. Here's a old post where I explained it further on my Tumblr! I'll eventually redo this but mainly just the images as everything else is fairly the same! :]
I just need to re-organize all of the old lore posts on my tumblr again. Thanks for playing! :,]
Ohhh I see now! Thank you for answering! <3 And also, thank you for all the work you have done in this demo! The improvements are clearly visible, especially in the atmosphere of the game. I feel like I am immersed in something cold yet alluring while playing it!
Moreover...
-gives an additional jar with heart-shaped cookies- Happy Valentine's day! May this day bring you happiness and joy ^w^
No problem! I'm very happy knowing it was well received, especially the atmospheric details making things even more immersive! :,]
Also late belated Valentines day to you, It did end up being happy and joyful and I hope the same happened for you! Thank you for the jar of heart-shaped cookies! :,]
Oh my, i'm very early too this, I guess all my lurking in the horror dating sims finally got me somewhere, Noah looks lovely, I cannot wait too play this game, i've downloaded it now, and will absolutely give an update on how much I enjoyed it when I can, lovely art, I see some inspiration with the sanity and health bars! He's adorable..can't wait to get murdered taken care of by him <3 New husband!
I hope you have a good time playing and thanks for noticing the inspiration in the bars, it took a long while for me to figure out how to get it to work right. At the time I thought they were a common thing to see in games and didn't know that wasn't the case. :,]
Thank you for checking out what I made, have fun! :]
I haven't play this game yet, but I really love the art you posted and seeing the rainy, gloomy environment gave me chills. The environment is one of the main factors that induce fear in a yandere game and you perfectly nailed that. We need more male yandere games with gloomy weathers settings.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it a whole bunch! I've been practicing with drawing backgrounds and plan on redoing some of the very old versions so it's great hearing that I nailed the gloomy weather/environment! :,]
