very nice
Finally getting around to playing the demo! I've been meaning to since it first released.
Niko's so cute, I really liked the (budding) dynamic he has with the rest of the cast- I've got a soft spot for Ren already.
The movie sequences were so cool ;<; I loved the contrast between the on and off-screen personalities especially.
(Though one small thing- I did find the text during these segments a little hard to read? I think the thin-ness of the text paired with the detail of the background
It wasn't enough so it's unreadable, just a little difficult in places)
Looking forward to seeing more! ♥
Ah, so glad to hear you liked it!! ♥
I'll look into some ways or options for improving the readability during the filmed scenes.
Really digging this demo! Interested in both the movie plot and the real-life plot, and particularly enjoying the MC’s character.
In short: fantastic job. :D
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it! ♥
I just moved to Atlanta since last year (for video editing work and enjoy film business as well), excited to see your artistic interpretation of the city and film scene!
Have fun, Georgia is a very pretty state and the climate is pretty nice compared to the rest of the South haha. I hope to showcase more of it (and other towns in Georgia) in the full game!
Niko reminds me of myself, I can't explain how happy it makes me to see a character like me!!
I enjoyed the demo, I love the art its well drawn
Thank you so much!
