revitalia 2023-05-02 09:35

Error, couldn't play

polinachrr 2023-05-02 12:38

не пойму, как начать играть

ottos 2023-05-02 13:18

@aalula , @calicobubbletea , @revitalia , thank you for your feedback! We updated the game, so it should work properly now ☆ answer sticker 2.png

ottos 2023-05-02 13:35

@polinachrr , привет! Основное управление приходится через клавиатуру! Однако ты можешь использовать и мышку, тоже! move for site2.png

Ааа божечки какая наимилейшая рисовка))Мне очень понравилось играть прям залипательно)Но со временем немножечко раздражал звук печатания текста,и не очень поняла как именно доставлять зелья, поэтому просто выращивала цветочки и делала зелья а так, всё очень круто) Надеюсь, вы ещё как-то реализуете игру в вебе, чтобы людям было проще и быстрее опробовать игру и соответственно, больше людей поиграли.

kristina25 2023-05-02 17:52

@mary-orlova Чтобы доставлять заказы нужно выйти через дверь) Там еще много интересного!)

danielshershnev2game1 2023-05-02 18:21

Очень красиво!

alec-viera 2023-05-03 03:39

I'm running into an issue where upon leaving the house, there's an error for loading a .png. So sad I didn't get to see more! Lots of tender artwork and UI.

kassie-kitsune 2023-05-03 03:54

Really cute and cozy game, makes me feel at ease, only a disappointed about it seeming to break when leaving the house.

sarah-lir 2023-05-03 08:16

Очень ламповая и милая игра, мне понравилось. Арт очень приятный, музыка не отвлекает и не раздражает. К управлению надо привыкнуть, но это происходит быстро. Отдельно меня порадовало то, что в самом начале игрока не ведут за ручку, можно поисследовать и самому понять, что к чему. Предупреждение про крайне привлекательных персонажей тут было очень кстати) И ещё, тут ведь наверняка можно доставлять клиентам неправильные зелья... Я этого ещё не пробовала, но теперь мне очень хочется попробовать.

ottos 2023-05-03 08:20

@mary-orlova , большое спасибо за отзыв! Я очень рад, что тебе понравилось играть ♡ Да, для доставки достаточно выйти, потрогав дверь, но я рад, что ты получила удовольствие и в выращивании растений :)

Кстати говоря! Звуки более чем можно выключить! Для этого нужно либо в самом главном меню, либо внутри игры через Esc зайти в Options и отжать "SE Volume"! Это позволит тебе слышать музыку, но не слушать текст!

Большое спасибо тебе за уделенное ей внимание!♡

@alec-viera , @kassie-kitsune hello there! Despite our best tries, we could not encounter the same issues, yet we have a rough idea, why this could possibly happen.

We've updated the game. Please give it another try! Thank you for your feedback, too! ♡

Очень приятная и красивая игра. К сожалению не понял, как доставлять зелья, а в остальном игра супер.

nelone 2023-05-03 18:33

Очень милый визуал !

danilay 2023-05-03 20:16

отличный визуал, все работает!

davitta 2023-05-03 20:41

A very cozy and cute game! The art is very pleasant. The music does not distract or irritate. I enjoyed playing it: creating and delivering potions! The art and style is very nice! Good job!

constantine-vaughn 2023-05-03 20:43

Потрясающая игра, графика и геймплей отменные!

ottos 2023-05-03 20:48

@ilias , @nelone , @danilay , @constantine-vaughn , Большое спасибо за отзывы! Очень приятно слышать, что вам понравилось! Спасибо, что уделили ей время!!♡♡♡

ottos 2023-05-03 20:51

@davitta , thank you for your kind words!! It warms our heart to hear, that you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking time and giving us a feedback, too! ♡

konfekt 2023-05-03 21:55

This game is definitely the most cozy and fun that I've played for the jam so far! It warmed my heart a lot. I think the waiting time for the flowers to bloom is perfect and the phone ties it all together nicely. The only option I wished I could have had was to backtrack on my delivery and choose a different potion, because I felt so bad delivering the wrong one. It does give it replay value though, and I think I'll be checking out what happens if you choose different potions. Really well done!

roboolet 2023-05-03 22:52

Nice entry. I wasn't really a big fan of the game being so button-mashy (it started to hurt my hand at one point), the potion brewing felt more like a chore that i had to do to get to the deliveries (which were nice). The art is cute though

crow-seeds 2023-05-04 05:16

Art is really cute, I especially love the little broom flying version of the character when you deliver the potions!

Only complaint is that it does get repetitive and felt like doing chores, but the cozy atmosphere and cute graphics made up for it. It's just so wholesome omg!

lumue 2023-05-04 09:29

I fall in line with what @crow-seeds and @roboolet have already commented.

Your game looks cute and already seems pretty polished. Playing is just somewhat tedious, a lot of clicking and gathering things that seems just unnecessary. What bugged me the most was that you've build 9 pot to water and implementes a water can with 5 storage units. And it's not even refillable if not completely emptied.

I think with some simple adjustments you can easily elevate the fun.

Keep it up ;-)

ottos 2023-05-04 10:17

@konfekt , thank you for your kind words! It really is means for us a lot! Thank you so much for playing it and taking time to comment on it, too! ♡

@roboolet , @crow-seeds , @lumue , thank you so much for your feedback!! ♡♡♡ I'm really glad that you gave this game a chance and took your time to write about your experience playing it! If we'll ever make something similar, I hope your valuable feedback would help us make it even better! Thank you!! ♡

@ottos you're using RPGmaker right? Any chance you could provide a Linux build? Tried to get it running with WINE without any success :(

calicobubbletea 2023-05-04 14:45

I have always wanted to play a witch simulator! Controls are kind of clumsy, you have to keep clicking to confirm when watering and planting. Otherwise a pleasant experience. It would be nice to see more content. Also the sketches in the comments are so cute!

alexkik1515 2023-05-04 15:00

Должен сказать, визуал очень красивый. Прорисовали все мелкие детали. Отличная работа.

ottos 2023-05-04 15:51

@snesgaard , hello there! You're right, it's made with RPG Maker MV! Thank you for your request! We have no way to test the workability of the Linux build, but we'll try our best to provide you with one!

I'll make sure to ping you in the comments once it will be done! So please look forward to it! ♡

ottos 2023-05-04 16:19

@calicobubbletea , I'm glad we were able to fulfill one of your wishes!! And I'm glad, that you enjoyed it despite it's cons! (Thank you for telling about them, by the way!)

Te-he!! Thaaaank you!!! I'm glad you're enjoying these little sketches as much as we enjoy drawing them ♡ That means a lot! ♡♡

@alexkik1515 , Большое спасибо тебе за комментарий! Очень приятно слышать, что тебе понравилась рисовка! ♡

aline007 2023-05-04 17:44

Рисовка милая, игра понравилась

ellaris 2023-05-04 20:43

+ Nice graphics and atmosphere. + It was annoying being asked to confirm everything, I think it would feel better if planting/watering/harvesting just happened + There was no way of backing out of the brewing menu or knowing what ingredients are required. Also it would be nice to have a reminder of what potion was ordered.

answer21 2023-05-04 20:46

very very nice visual, unrealistically developed characters, very atmospheric. Thanks for the uplifting!!!

snesgaard 2023-05-05 00:37

@ottos Thanks looking forward to testing it!

alchemic 2023-05-05 05:22

Extremely cute game! I love the artwork! Purple witches are the best!

ottos 2023-05-05 18:24

@ellaris , hello there! Thank you so much for your feedback! ♡ We're working on improving farming process so please stay tuned to it! ♡♡

Also, I have little trouble understanding the very last comment! Could you please provide us with a little more explanation? We have a recipe book in the game, which helps you with learning recipes! But perhaps you mean something else?

Other than that thank you so much for giving this game chance and taking your time to write a feedback! That means a lot!♡♡♡♡

ottos 2023-05-05 18:27

@answer21 , @alchemic , Thank you so much for your kind words! They really do mean a lot!♡

Agree!!!!!!! Purple witches are the best!! >:D answer sticker 3.png

ellaris 2023-05-06 10:31

@ottos It might just be that I missed the recipe book. When you interact with the cauldron/ potion brewing station you only have 3 options of which potion to make, and no option to cancel. I think when selecting a potion it would be nice to have a confirmation as it uses up resources and can lead to mistakes, it would also be nice to provide the potion equation "You want to make 1 X potion using 3 Y ingredients?". Also I'm not sure how it works with crafting the wrong potion, if it's just a different outcome or if it's counted as a "fail" and requires you to repeat the process until you get it right, but you might want to somehow convey it to the player.

ottos 2023-05-06 12:17

@ellaris , Ooooh! I get it now! Thank you so much for your feedback!♡ The game continues on even if you deliver the wrong potion! It's just the outcome which changes! Thank you so much for explaining! That means a lot! We'll see, what we could do to improve it!

ottos 2023-05-09 22:07

update thing.png Thank you for giving our game a chance and providing it with lots of valuable feedback! We took your thoughts into account and tried to improve the game as much as possible! Please read trough these update notes as well check out our new post-jam version, too! Thank you!♡

1. We improved the gameplay by making it less button-mashy! From now on you do not need to confirm most of the gardening and watering steps! 2. From now on you can refill the water can whenever you feel like! And now it can contains whole 6 points of water, too! 3. We made some of the UI parts of our game much more visual! We hope it will improve your experience! photo_2023-05-10_00-40-14.jpg 4. We rewrote some of the endings to make it easier to understand whether you delivered the right potion or not. 5. We also proud to announce that from now on you can play our game via web! For that you just have to visit our site (https://bun-tired.itch.io/potion-delivery-service) and press the button "Run the game" at the very top! (Surprisingly enough this way you can even play it using your phone!) 6. We have also ported our game for Linux due to @snesgaard 's request! I hope you'll be able to play it! Thank you! 7. Our guest @Whitemoonblackbunny created a new piece of music called "What A Lovely Day"! From now on you can listen to it in the main menu. 8. Мы так же перевели игру на русский! Если языковой барьер ранее не позволил вам насладиться игрой, прошу, попробуйте сыграть в нее с вышедшим переводом!

\Please note that during 10th of the May we'll present our game for the wide russian speaking audience due to event. Which is why for some big amount of time you'll see a russian web-version of the game on our site! We apologize for possible inconvenience!

answer sticker 3.png None of these updates could have been done without you! Thank you for playing our game! Let's keep doing our best!

snesgaard 2023-05-12 08:20

@ottos Thanks, got the Linux build up and running! Had to install a library which is probably some missing dependency:

```bash sudo apt install libgconf-2-4 ```

But other than that i worked perfectly. Very cute game, like the atmosphere and mood.

ottos 2023-05-12 09:02

@snesgaard , yaaaaay! I'm glad to hear that!! Thank you. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it! Thank you for your patience, too! ♡ answer sticker.png

Really enjoyed this! It's cool to see an RPG Maker game for a change, since it's not very commonly used in LD. Support for multiple languages is great too. There wasn't a ton of gameplay, but it was fun talking to all the characters. The art is also well done. Nice work :)
