ah that’s interesting, what browser are you on? i tested this just now on Firefox and Chrome on my side and it was ok
Ah. Yeah, sorry, my bad. I use librewolf (firefox fork) and by default webgl is disabled and I didn't thought renpy would need it...
no worries thank you for wanting to let me know i appreciate it! i actually didnt know renpy needs webgl either
I liked that the writing felt natural, I could relate to it; and this is more of a complete product than your other demos
thanks, the script was written very quickly, and i tried to make the language simple and direct. this is the longest of my games i think, thanks for playing!!!
I think actually something just got unlocked. Love your VNs peb. Pinging you on mastodon :P. – hd
thanks!!
I came across this game on my feed and thought it looked cute and silly, but honestly, this story is a very apt way of putting what I've been going through atm, and gotta say, I feel like I just really needed to hear what Owner-san had to say. Thank you for sharing this and ostukaresama on finishing and submitting this game! :) May we continue to unlock new things, as that is what we are wont to do.
thanks for otsukaresaming me, that means a lot. sometimes you have to do your best even if you feel you are not living your dream >right now< and wait shit out. work, eat your veggies, take long walks, hydrate, sleep.
This was cute!
yes!
I love her, thank you. I appreciate when there's some legit angst behind the funny shitpost VN
yaay thanks! in like 10 years akko-san will learn to eat more fiber and take water breaks at work but we have to give her time
i like it, despite being short it really encapsulates the essence of a corporate job
yaaaay thanks! i did try to keep it very short and a simple idea, but it is to some degree based on my own experience of working “a serious job”
It abruptly ended but I liked how it was going even though it felt like vanished colors. It is the second vn by you. You do like vns?
thanks, i wasnt that into the idea of vns before, because i thought i wanted to make games designed around mechanics. but right now i feel like im having more fun writing little stories and doing little to no coding.
