"anyone can be saved ,but not everyone can be" this phrase had been replaying in my mind while i save and rest in denial crying,, if someone had to die can't it just be the guide XD
i love everything about this.. the creepy atmosphere , unique story EVERYTHING i can't wait for the full game !
P.S you guys are my favorite game developer . have a nice day <3
Aaw, thank you so much for all of that ;v;! It made our day. The guide is very experienced, so he won't be bested easily. It's all the nicer people who are more likely to die. Life's just unfair that way.
this game is incredible!! the background remains consistent throughout most of the game, but enraptures me all the same. i love how each choice makes such a significant change in how things play out; the character development is like a soft hum beneath a bridge, ever present, but not overwhelming. the relationships blossom well, and the character designs are beautiful. i love kikka and her valiant heart. kudos, GBPatch, for making a game that is both thought-provoking and stirring.
Thank you so much for the kind words ^^! It's very encouraging to hear someone feels the game was thought-provoking. I hope you'll enjoy the full game it releases this August.
This is so good it's ridiculous. Love the "tonight, someone dies" aspect and the sense of dread that comes with that. That, paired with how loveable the characters are, made me feel genuine anguish whenever I had to make a choice. If that's not good storytelling, I don't know what is.
When is the (estimated) release date for the finished version? I don't mean to pressure you or anything, I just need to mark that date on my calendar XD
This game is great. I just finished the demo and find myself continuously getting deep into the story as it goes on. The art style is beautiful even I though I first saw Bemelle and thought he's just some guy. But then he just grows on me. Haha.
I wonder about the route for now. Is there a way to save all people? I tried few times but kept loosing someone. Or "Anyone can be saved, but not everyone can be." is the answer to my question..
By the way, good work, guys. I'm waiting for full release. :D
Thank you so much! I'm happy Bemelle grew on you, haha. There are no endings where everyone lives, I'm afraid. Lake of Voices is pretty bleak that way. The lowest death count is 1 person, though most endings have 2 or more deaths.
We're working on getting it out in a few months. I hope it will be worth the wait!
This is shaping up to be an amazing game. I'm not sure what price point you plan on putting it at but i'll pay it gladly regardless. Great work and best of luck ! Also thanks for having a Linux version.
Thank you so much! I'm happy you like how it's coming along so far. Lake of Voices will be an entirely free-to-play game upon release. It's very flattering that you'd be willing to purchase it, though.
This was wonderful, I have never saved as much in any other VNs;; The art is stunning and I love the voices!! I can't wait to learn more about the characters too and the mysteries surrounding The Guide intrigues me as well.
I can't wait to play more (No pressure of course!!) Good Luck !!
Aaw, thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. We're aiming to have the full game out by August! I hope that won't be too long of a wait, aha.
Hello! I've enjoyed the demo a lot! The story so far seems interesting, and the art is so so nice, glad the kickstarter is still going :) Heads up: I've encountered the error where save\load options caused the game to freak out. Here's the log:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code: File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in script $ ui.interact() File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in <module> $ ui.interact() File "game/screens.rpy", line 651, in execute File "game/screens.rpy", line 651, in execute File "game/screens.rpy", line 676, in execute File "game/screens.rpy", line 685, in execute File "game/screens.rpy", line 688, in execute NameError: name 'recent_save_page' is not defined
ETA: somehow unpacking the demo to the different location solved this problem for me, idk why.
I loved this so far! The story is very intriguing, and all of the characters bring such a unique flair to the story. I love Kikka so far, and I hope to learn more about the guide in the full game! I also really like the quick-time events. They add the perfect touch of urgency and feeling of engaging decision-making. The art is absolutely gorgeous (kudos to your illustrator!), and the overall style makes for such an eerie yet engaging ambiance. Also the soundtrack is very well done and suits the overall mood very well.
One criticism I do have is the voice acting does sound a little strange at time (can't lie, I found Bemelle's "Damn" to be a little too watered down, among some other lines), but the voice actors clearly do have a lot of talent and I can't wait to hear the rest! Wonderful job so far! I'm excited to follow this development. <3
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the demo and that the timed choices weren't a bother. And, yeah, there's definitely a lot of info on the guide that you'll have the opportunity to learn.
Because the voice acting comes in starts and stops it can be a little weird since there's not the normal progression from one emotion to another, it's just suddenly there. Like with the 'Damn' example, Bemelle isn't meant to have any kind of noticeably emotional response. His strong emotions from earlier scenes have passed and he's mostly just mildly disappointed. Hopefully since the finished game will have every line voiced things will flow better.
I just finished playing through the Demo and i really liked it! :D Looking forward to the official release c:
oh and by the way! the only way i could get to the save section was to press escape. Clicking the save option on the conversation bar/main menu only opened a page where it said something went wrong. i'm hoping i could be of some help with this :)
I'm sorry about that issue with the save screen. Unfortunately we can't replicate the error. The quick menu save button works for us when we click it. If possible, could you copy the error and send it to us?
