I love how poignant the setting is, it's dripping in toxic fumes the moment Hal walks into the scene. You do a great job with descriptions and having that suffocating heaviness throughout the VN. I love your art direction and honestly adore the haunted themes. (this is no surprise) Your accesibility features mean a lot to me and I turned on the sound effects one and the music one just to get a good grip on the game.
I'm excited to see where you take this after the jam. Happy to be your jam sibling!! :3
Thank you so much Lunar!! I had a lot of fun with the art, I knew I had to rely on photo backgrounds so I had to figure out how to make them work for me. I'm really glad the captions helped you!! (Although I think I missed a tag or two, I gotta double-check)
Thanks for all the support, it was awesome sharing the jam with you~
The writing has a great personality. It is a direct, snappy, fast feeling dialog. It reminds me of this tv show called Dragnet 67. I liked how the girls talked back and forth fast like clever detectives, with romantic comments mixed into their detective talk. There’s so much momentum when they speak and when MC thinks, bouncing on each idea swiftly. The game has two mysteries unfolding at the same time. There is the lighthouse magic mystery and there are the mysterious details of the two girls relationship. Both mysteries felt fun to discover. The art is wonderful and the girls designs are sweet. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much!! I personally haven't watched Dragnet (though I do know about it) but I have watched lots of similar shows and movies. I love the detective dynamic so I'm happy I was able to capture it for you!
I had a lot of fun writing these two mysteries in tandem and I'm especially happy to hear that from someone who isn't already familiar with the characters (as most of my friends are). I hope you will come back to experience the rest of the story when it is fully implemented <3
GOD DAMN, Quandt. The pacing, the shifting backgrounds, the words intensifying the effects of the beacon... this is very gay and oozing with lead and mercury. It's a treat getting to read even part of Beaconing, and I'm rooting for you to finish this in the future! (please. i stopped playing on a cliffhanger and i'm so curious what this is going to look like. how dare you think your writing could possibly ever not be good. it's spectacular. 100 million positive comments upon you)
This is already SO good even with placeholders to meet the jam deadline, I can't wait to see what the complete 1.0 looks like when it drops.
Textures are delicious. Yuri is toxic. I want to strangle Hal but yes I did kiss her anyway. The presentation is so good ESPECIALLY given the game jam time limit, like wow. This was a pleasure to work on thank you for letting me just go nuts with logic loops <3
Thank you soooo much Leo, your creativity and collaboration was so so important to getting this finished, gave me a whole second wind in the later half of the jam. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
