Well that was surprising to discover your games on itch after your tutorials helping me so much on gamemaker ! You really have a talent not only as a programmer but also as a storyteller and designer ! Loved this little game and Moonlight Sonata really added to this stunning little story !
Muito lindo! O jogo possui essa atmosfera rica e cheia de beleza, os personagens são muito bem feitinhos, e os cenários também são maravilhosos. Eu já conhecia o mito, mas ele nunca me emocionou como esse jogo fez! Que adaptação magnifica! Os diálogos carregados de sentimento me prenderam num mix de emoções junto à Deméter.
Esse jogo me deixou deslumbrada. Parabéns!This was really well done! I just streamed it and I really love how emotive it was! Fantastic job! :D
Excellent game on a tricky subject with limited programming tools. The beginning was a bit slow for me, but I became more involved after Demeter started her search for Persephone. The rainbow letters with more quickly oscillating waves were especially effective for rage. The visual prompts for where to move were generally very effective, and the balance of movement & dialogue worked well for me. And the final screen graphic of Demeter and Persephone is simply stunning. Congratulations!
This was incredible!
Wow, I loved this, it would be a great series if there were more like this about more greek myths!
I loved it! The atmosphere, the color language, the minimalist art, it's all so good. There was a typo when Demeter calls out for "Zues" at the river cross road but other than that it was perfect.
Aw thanks for playing it, I'm glad you liked it! Oh, doh, I even remember writing that and thinking it looked odd, checked the spelling, and thought I had it right!! Thank you for letting me know.
Whoa... I've never played anything like this but I love it!
Thanks so much!! That's lovely to hear :)
I can't wait to try it. I ran my programmers through your farming rpg tutorial on youtube before they could work with me. You are very detailed and I appreciate your work. we're currently developing an rpg for the Nintendo switch I would love to show you sometime.
Oh that's awesome to hear! Of course, I'd love to see what you're working on - do you have a twitter?
