this was soooo good omg i just loved the unique screenplay format. the way the sound effects appeared on screen after a bit of a delay was really attention-grabbing! it was extremely good how like, the words "and action" keep getting cut off every time except the beginning and end. the writing is phenomenal too, like it's super witty and clever! i'm still stuck on "was it sweet nothing or nothing sweet" because i love those little word inversion phrases. also the format was tied to the presentation AMAZINGLY well, i lost it at the countdowns and having to click through like, three times before dimitri understood what was with the phone. also the text conversations! i don't know how you did those but that was so cool AND funny!
of course i gotta praise the characters too! dimitri and jai are of course INCREDIBLY adorable and sweet together, but al and valen are scene-stealers themselves! i giggled at "they don't have time for this lovey-dovey shit." whether it was as a group of friends or more one-on-one scenes, the character dynamics never failed to entertain. "everyone here is a dork" CORRECT!
also, the art is so good, like obviously the characters are so expressive and cute and i love the style but also i'm soooo impressed by how nice the logo is! i accidentally hit the load button and then admired how nice it is that there's an entire logo gif and background for a screen i usually never used.
anyways the final "because i love jai" was just. so good. it was a sign of love to match jai's....
thank you so much to you and your team for making this! it was a treat to experience the first time and even better the second!
AWWWW, OMG! Thank you so so much for the kind words, my gosh. This is making me tear me up.... I'm so glad you enjoyed it and my bunch of weirdos lol. This was actually my first lead dev project, so it holds a special place in my heart <3
it was wonderful! thank you so much for this expirience.
That was so much fun! The base concept of delivery w/the screenwriting script was so genius I had to keep reading and then I so easily fell in love with your character writing!! (Al is the best??? and Valen is a sleeper hit) The way you integrated louie zong's track and the character portraits emoting really elevated the story without taking over as the highlight. Simple, strong, colorful, very glad I took the time to check it out. (Just thought I should put my review here)
Haha, thank you again for your sweet comment!! :)
Wow. This is beautiful! And the screenplay format is an ingenius touch.
Ahh, thank you so much for your lovely comment! Your template was such a huge help for the format I was trying achieve <3
very clean stuff, a real artist at work XD
I like the small details you put in.
Also a very clean itch.io-page
