The game looks really cool but PLEASE rework the minigames.
I love the way the characters behave and how they're written but the core gameplay feels very frustrating.
The massage minigame requires you to remember like five exact locations on an almost entirely blank space whith basically no points of orientation and the sewing minigame feels way too fast to even remotely control.
I don't want to be a jerk and I admit I'm a bit salty right now but the minigames don't feel like a fair challenge anymore, they're just hard and frustrating.
I see all the time and effort you've put into this game and I want to thank you for making this available for free for everyone but maybe change some things in the minigames?
Sorry if that was harsh but I just really want to get into your game :)
Thanks for the feedback! Limited time for playtesting is certainly an issue in a jam like this. In the sewing minigame, was the problem lag or was it just the speed? I may look at dialling down the difficulty of those first two minigames once the jam is complete so if you're still interested in experiencing the story, be sure to follow or remember to check back in a few weeks.
mostly lag/ inputs not registering correctly, although less speed might help in making up for that because you would have a bit more time to react, especially since a single mistake can really mess up you score.
Thanks for replying and for considering my feedback.
I love what you made and I know it's going to be even better once you polish it some more!
PS: buying the upgrades for the clinic and seeing the litle changes is oddly addicting lol
Do you think we could get a Mac version as well? I'm more than happy to wait until the Jam ends for it, since it can be a bit of an ordeal.
I'm afraid I don't expect to release a Mac version. RPG Maker is notorious for not playing nicely when deployed from Windows to Mac and I have no way to test that a Mac version would actually work as intended.
Okie doke! I'll see about getting WINE set up then, thanks for responding! A lot of folks don't :(
