neat I guess. I'd like to see what this would look like if it were a finished game

Well I like how you can turn in to a bulldozer.
turning into a bulldozer threw me off a little XD good job on this system - its really cool :) maybe it could support mouse controls also? or could preventDefault so arrows don't move the page? ~well! i liked it meow! :3
"Oh, is that you, Lexy? You look a bit different. Are you going after some particular client?
...Are people really into that?" who wouldn't love a bulldozer (I think that's a loader though :P)!
Took a peek at the source and you managed to separate the data and the engine quite nicely. Too bad you didn't get much done with the story. Still, an interesting tech demo.
It works on Chrome, too.
Too bad, that you couldn't expand on the idea, but it is a big idea after all :D Cool engine though.
Stuck in bulldozer part, but I liked the way the story was heading. Simple and effective, keep it up :)
Despite it is not finished, it was an interresting and inspiring experience ! thanks !
Engine seems to work alright :) Not really a lot to play in a sense of a game, but it looks nice and like you said it is a proof of concept.
I would love to see more.
Nice to see more VN stuff on LD. To bad you did not have time to complete it.
Would be cool to see where you'd take it... Very intriguing story!
and the bulldozer... .D
Interesting game, I enjoy visual novels. Good luck with its future development :)
I'd recommend using proper engine if your goal is to make a VN, not to build engine. The story is really too short.
I think some long lines got a bit cut, btw.
caryoscelus: There are several reasons I made my own engine. First, I don't have to worry about the rights to the engine I'm using or whether I need to buy a license. Second, I had total control over how it worked, and I know it inside and out. Third, it was good coding practice.
And yes, I did say that the game is incomplete!
As for the long lines, during the contest I didn't have time to look into measuring and wrapping text. But I've done it now; the text in the post-jam version works better.
Very interesting! Good work on your engine! I would like to see the finished game~
Very good artwork and a nice interactive storyline. Good work!
Chaoseed, i obviously didn't meant using any proprietary engines, i mostly referred http://renpy.org/
Your third point (well, and second) is still valid, though, which is why i written "if your goal is to make a VN".
Played through both the LD version and the Post version. (Rating is for the original LD version of course)
I really enjoyed this game, although there wasn't too much I would like to see where this project heading! Great work! Loved the fact you could just turn into a bulldozer XD
You're a quite good writer, the beginning of the story is pretty catchy. And turning into bulldozer :D ... has potential!
Coolio. Played through the post-jam version and like the setting so far.
