Oh my god Iām crying Iām gonna fix all the things you mentioned, thank you!
Just update fast woman
Iām trying
@writingwithjade - Echo Kreek
1st Episode
- That Intro is quite intense.
- When Elijah is walking from the police station heās kinda walking down. Dunno. Maybe it would make sense to make him go to the side and getting bigger? I think it would look more realistic.
- When MC is thanking Mauve the zoom kinda cuts MCās half.
- Is it intentionally that you people zoom so that parts of the character are cut? Maybe itās just me obsessing over this.
2nd Episode
- Owww. That dog is so cute ^^
- Love how u worked with overlays. That fog is awesome.
3rd Episode
- So the same thing I see as in the previous review. Instead of scaling characters, to make them look further, you just place them higher. Check the guide below. And I noticed you do it most of the time, with walking commands as well.
Guide
- I donāt really understand the meaning of the choice about Alona. Like, readers already saw that she is shady and dislike Phyre. Makes the choice kinda obvious.
4th Episode
- Um. Iām not sure, but I think you didnāt mention who we are allowed to customize. I suppose those all are love interests? Maybe it is worth mentioning.
- reader message - āShirley become interestedā. I guess it is became
- When Shirley is talking with Phyre, maybe u could try to do this over the shoulder directing thing? Cause it looks like Shirley is talking with her back turned to Phyre. For this stuff, I usually duplicate character, place them somewhere else in the background and just keep switching zones.
- Yeah. TBH Iām not really sure whatās going on, I mean plot, but itās not super-confusing, I just need more pieces of it. I suppose thereās a curse connected with the necklace. And Phyre seems to be cursed. Dunno why tho. And that lady in bloody clothes was hella creepy.
- āIām doneā. This tab makes me giggle. Iām done
5th Episode
- āEgg.ā :DDD What. Emilyā¦
So overall. Dialogues are very good, smooth and differ from character to character. The plot is also good, unique and seems to be well written. Point system is cool. I think u know all of this
Directing mostly is great. You do well with zoom, overlays and basically everything.
Only issues I have with it are:
- Use of non-talking animations on dialogue lines, like laugh, eyeroll etc. I think I mention it in 85% of reviews.
- Zooms. Sometimes you cut characters, either horizontally or their heads. This is going throughout the story.
- Some walking to spot commands and perspective. I mentioned it in the comments for 3rd episode.
- I noticed a couple of time that you use one animation several times in a row. It might be okay with some of them, but if it is arms crossed animation, it isā¦ kinda bugging?
Otherwise, your story is great, and I really dunno how it doesnāt have more reads. Iād only advise updating more often, cause I think the 5th episode was coming for months.
There wasnāt a lot I mentioned, but mostly cause everything was very solid.
Good luck with ur story, hope it was helpful.
Thanks! Iām glad you liked it. I do need to go over the zooms/scaling in my directing and tenses in my sentencesā¦ I often times make those mistakes. Itās just so much code to go through! I definitely will go over that though, thanks for pointing that out!
Edit: Oh yeah, the two characters youāre able to customize are love interests, I should probably mention that as you saidā¦

My main certain would be ways to improve. (If you spot any spelling errors or wrong usage of punctuationā¦ That would be nice.)
Iām pretty sure you posted request before in my thread but didnāt use the right form, therefore was declined. Was it?
I donāt believe I was declined.
I do know that I deleted because I had some errors I wanted to fix before I got a review.
If u say so. Ok.

The Main Concern: This is the first story Iām doing as a visual novel instead of an interactive one. Itās also the first one where I use a lot of different overlays and effects. I want to know if the flow is good, if the plot makes sense, and what can be improved on! Itās not published at the moment, so Iāll DM you a link. Thereās a chapter and a half complete, more to be added soon!
Shit I didnāt realize the password was part of the formā¦ can I redo my entry for a reviewā:sob:

Main concern: I donāt know, I just like reading reviews
