Thank you @jipark :) Hope you enjoyed the game ^^

gulcar 2024-04-16 17:24

I don't know what to do after I have selected 4 things

telkan 2024-04-16 17:26

It's such a lovely game, the mood is perfect

beebster-games 2024-04-16 17:35

What to do after selecting the items?

popertots 2024-04-16 17:35

I'm in the same boat as @gulcar but the mood is excellent

This game takes you on a melancholic journey through someones diary, resulting ina painting which is build up piece by piece.

I liked the art style and general premise, together with the calm soundtrack. A quite polished presentation in terms of the chosen style.

What was a bit harder was to see the bold words in the diary due to the font style. Puzzling the words/colors wasn't always an easy task as some had close related meanings(for me?). Not having any kind of hint/feedback on what I have already right made it harder to guess at times. Maybe an option would be a sketch mode (easy?) where each correct item ads parts of the current element as sketch, resulting in the final full colored one once all items are right.

Good idea is showing story telling on picture. I don't understand that I must choose. But I like this idea)

Concept très cool et de très beau graphisme. La musique est très belle et va très bien avec le thème.

Par contre, je ne sais pas si c'est juste moi mais je trouve le système très dur. Peut être mettre en place un système d'aide ou d'indice afin de ne pas rester bloqué à la même scène.

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-16 18:32

Hello @gulcar , @telkan and @popertots :smile: Thank you for your remark and for playing my game :smiley:

To answer your question, the game will automaticaly check if your choice is correct. So if nothing happens, there is something wrong in your selection. :wink:

PS: The order of the words is not important

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-16 18:35

Salut @alexis-brochec , compatriote francophone! :smile:

Merci pour ton retour, ça fait super plaisir. Par rapport à ta remarque, je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi: j'ai peut-être rendu la chose un poil trop complexe. Ma compagne m'a fait le même retour. Malheureusement, le temps a joué contre moi haha :laughing:

Merci beaucoup encore une fois pour ton message, je ne tarderai pas à venir tester ton jeu! :wink:

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-16 18:36

Thank you @rollcreators for your nice comment :smile:

Can I help you in any case ?

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-16 18:42

Thank you @memnarch for your nice and constructive feedback :smile:

With @alexis-brochec, your are not the only one to make this kind of remark about difficulty and progression visibility. My apologize for this. My girlfriend made me the same feedback but unfortunately, I was running out of time :laughing:

Next time, i will try to do better!

Thank you again! :smile:

Relaxing and enjoyable :)

madrain 2024-04-17 21:45

Un superbe jeu très bien fini. L'ambiance est excellente et les graphismes sont tops. Vraiment bravo ! Seul petit bémol : c'est parfois un peu compliqué de trouver la bonne combinaison de mots et de couleurs. J'avoue que j'ai du m'aider des réponses pour certaines ^^

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-18 06:52

Salut @madrain :smile: Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire et ton retour, ça fait super plaisir! :heart:

Effectivement, tu n'es pas le seul à relever la difficulté des associations d'idées, toutes mes excuses pour le désagrément ^^' Du coup, j'avais fait les fichiers d'aide après coup et je suis heureux de savoir qu'ils ont pu t'aider et te permettre d'aller au bout du récit :smile:

Encore merci, je ne tarderai pas à passer tester ton jeu! :heart:

stellarnightmare 2024-04-18 11:01

Well made and calming.

I did find that I didn't really know what to do at first though, perhaps that was just me. But I did find how to arrange stuff eventually.

ldrow 2024-04-18 11:19

The summoning of memories is very creative. The art and music are calming and relaxing。

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-18 12:20

Thank you @stellarnightmare for playing my game :smile: I'm happy to know you found how to play it and I hope you enjoyed :smiley:

Thanks @ldrow, happy to know you take a good time playing my game :smile:

bx007 2024-04-19 05:43

I like this game! It reminds me of Rusty Lake. Good job!

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-19 07:24

Hooooo, nice ref @bx007 thank you! :heart: I love Rusty Lake, that's a nice compliment :smile:

I'm happy to know you enjoyed my little story :smile:

gobigredfan 2024-04-19 20:50

Great concept. Also that Flying Butter logo screen is FIRE. Unfortunately I don't think the puzzle logic fully survived the translation; there isn't always a clear solution path from the text to the answers in the English version.

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-19 22:18

Thank you for your comment @gobigredfan :smile: Yeah, a butter with a jet pack is clearly the best crossover we could make! :laughing:

For your remark, yes you are right: I'm not good enough in English on the one hand, and on the other hand I ran out of time. So I had to trust google translate... Sorry for that :worried:

Anyway, i hope you enjoyed my game :smile: Thank you again :wink:

diadem-games 2024-04-20 10:12

I really like how you combined text and painting, very innovative. But, like others, I found the English version was really hard to solve at times :D. Still, great experience!

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-20 14:36

Thank you @diadem-games for your feedback and playing my ga:e :smile: Sorry about the bad translation but i'm happy to know you had a great time anyway :wink:

caveman54 2024-04-20 23:30

I definitely needed the solutions, maybe if there were fewer choices that would be helpful. Honestly that's a small nitpick this is a fantastic game. The writing is amazing. We had a similar interpretation of the theme and it is very well executed here. Very impressive as a jam game.

flying-butter-studio 2024-04-21 07:37

Thank you for your feedback @caveman54 :smile: I'm sorry about the quality of translation but i'm happy to know you enjoyed the game and the story :heart:

We had similar interpretion of the theme?! Interresting! I'm curious to see how you executed it :smiley: I will try it !

Thank you again for your comment! :wink:

rowdy3 2024-04-25 00:05

A beautiful game! I also struggled a bit with the solving of the English hints and had to peek at the solution a couple of times, but I still enjoyed it quite a lot. Great job!

haayaargh 2024-04-27 21:28

Very touching story, I love short narrative games like this. It is refreshing to see an entry that is not about demons, but a gentle, but sad story about summoning lost memories :heart: Losing memories must be horrible feeling.

Choosing memories and colors to paint is very innovative, I haven't seen anything like this before. That being said I think the bolded hints, thoughts/memories words and journal definitely need another pass and more work. There were only couple layers where you could reasonable solve the riddle, but many hints or memories were counterintuitive or even misleading. I saw in comments that you didn't have enough time for text polish, and that's understandable, after all you did participate in 48h Compo, not 72h Jam.

I compiled a list of suggestions and feedback for each layer, but I don't want to paste it here to save spoilers for others. If you would like me to send it to you, and perhaps if you needed help with English translations and polish I could gladly help. I followed your Twitter, so reach out if you need anything.

Good game, love the artwork

flying-butter-studio 2024-05-05 07:32

Thank you so much for your feedback @haayaargh ! Sorry for thé delay, I'm on holiday for now :smile: I usualy have my girlfriend to help me for translation but that was impossible this time, she has something to do. But I would be very happy to know your suggestion, do not hesitate to contact me via Twitter :wink: Thank you again for this lovely comment !
