Very fun game ! The dialogue was pretty funny and I liked how you gave different personalities to each character I'll have to intentionally lose a game to see what happens. On another note, is there any text for the 5th gf, and what engine, if any, did you use ?

Thanks for the nice words!

Girlfriends are shuffled randomly. Each of the five girls has 6 different dialogues (Originally it was supposed to be 10 girls and 10 pieces of dialogue each, but that didn't work out time-wise).

Don't tell the aggy daggy bully crew, but I'm an enginedev. I have an engine that builds Dreamcast, Windows and HTML5 games using the same code. It uses C, SDL2, Emscripten and the KallistiOS Dreamcast homebrew library though, so it's not completely from the ground up.

My memory is pretty shit, so I guess that made me a bad boyfriend. Guess I'm not getting any hot umbrella action tonight. It was definitely an interesting spin on the LD theme though.

I loved this game, the writing and depictions of each different girlfriend are hilarious. Also, the fact that you released this on Dreamcast as well is amazing. Kudos to you!

P.S- Rihanna FTW!

Quite an interseting game ! The photo like art was also curious !

Good idea and graphics. A little back music would be nice though. And man, a dreamcast build?! Awesome! xD

The dialogue was pretty great, and I really liked the characters. Good job!

lmfao. The graphics are amazing. Certainly an *interesting* take on the theme :p

Nice little dating sim, although it's mostly just a memory game. I liked the photo-based images :D.

When the intro monologue started, my first instinct was to press enter to advance it, but it skipped the intro instead. Maybe having to press enter twice to confirm a skip could have prevented that.

Then again, so would me checking the controls before diving in.

also these waifus are all god tier would harem irl

My first impression was honestly bad (especially because of the lack of sound), but after getting into the game I quickly forgave you. Precious, legend!

10/10 would date shoeanna again. Too bad I couldn't get to know the fifth girlfriend :(

rolle 2017-12-06 19:29

I'm glad I'm married and off the market. Sheesh it's tough dating! Panela is a bit bossy also... Loved the game!

sun-wukong 2017-12-07 00:37

ermm. That's... unique. Again. I don't know what to add, honestly.

Oh man, I need to dust off my old Dreamcast and burn a disc. Awesome work.

I like absurd/surrealist feel of this, but I'm not in love with the memory-game aspect of it. Perhaps some sound and audio would help with my immersion?

codechomper 2017-12-08 19:36

Good take on the theme. I too would have liked some music and sounds. But two days isn't a lot of time and you build a Dreamcast build! I did notice on the dialog screens when I pressed enter to go to the next line it would go through the lines as long and I held the button down. This caused me to miss some of the story, maybe you could use a buttonUp type method to avoid this? Thanks for the entry I had fun playing.

If you would like you could try my HTML5 game

it is a programming puzzle platforming game in 3D.

OK, I was happily torn apart :)

I liked that each character had a quite defined personality. The graphics are funny but somehow disturbing at the same time haha.

Overall, the game was fun. In the beginning, I was getting bored because there was only a girlfriend and the day was quite long, but afterwards things became more interesting as I had to begin remembering things and fill the meters up.

It would be nice to have a button to skip a conversation and go directly to the question.

Good job!

Quite possibly one of the strange games I've played this LD. I'm intrigued, and a bit frightened.

(At first I struggled a bit with controls. I thought Enter was forward, but it is apparently fast forward)
