I. Love. This demo. With more polish, I definitely see an amazing game in the works!
The amount of player interactivity draws me right into the game- character customization, choices that actually define your personality, and meaningful interactions are all very much present. Stages of life and an adjustable meter for interest levels is very innovative as well- and I'm excited to see them come to fruition!
It makes me feel that much more immersed with the world. Having this much grasp over choice made conversations with Cove feel genuine, and for a slice-of-life VN, this kind of investment is perfect. As a feel-good, relationship-driven narrative, this demo succeeded at making me care about day-to-day life and the meaningful conflicts in between. Playing and watching these characters grow up together will be a whole new VN experience for me.
The art is fantastic: the colorful character designs, crisp CG, and detailed backgrounds all add to the vibrant seaside setting. Keep up the great work, I'll be sure to look out for future updates!! :D
Aw, wow, thank you so much for the kind words! That sort of feeling is exactly what we were going for, so it's great to hear it worked out.
Hopefully we'll be able to get the game funded on Kickstarter so we can add all the extra polish possible and make it really special. But we'll do our best with the project either way.
Yeah, this looks really awesome! I look forward to seeing more of it!
Couple questions, though - will there be more hair colors in the future? Cove has green hair, after all, so it's clearly not impossible. I just think it'd be cool to have, like, purple hair, so we can be weird-hair buddies! ^_^
Also, will we be able to change the last name in the full version? I know we can't yet, but having the last name of 'Last' seems really weird... xD
We are going to try to keep adding more color options are time goes on, there are just a lot of layers to alter since there are so many hair pieces, haha.
You can change your last time now, but once you pick it out you're stuck with it for the rest of the game. The first name can be changed, though. So as a kid you could name yourself "Sam Meadow", for example, and later on change Sam to Chris or whatever else, but you'll still have the last name Meadow. If you tried to change the last name at the start of the game and weren't able to than that's some type of error and we'll get it fixed up!
Ohh. I probably just misunderstood the last name thing then. Whoops! ^_^;
Is there a place to report bugs/errors, or should they just be posted here? I ran into an error during the game, when changing my appearance for Part 2...
For the record, I have now played through the demo five times. The first time I saw Elizabeth call Cove my 'baby boyfriend' (and later 'special boy'), I both squealed in delight at him being referred to as 'boyfriend' and growled at her for being so grumpy about it. She's just jealous SHE doesn't have someone that precious... xD

No worries! We'll try to phrase it better in the future.

Thank you for giving the demo multiple playthroughs! Haha, yeah, Cove is a very special baby boy(friend) and Elizabeth is still very single.
This demo is super cute! I can't wait for the full release.
Thank you <3!
Wow! This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out :D
Thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy it ^^
