I’m so stoked for this! Finally I’ve gotten to introduce Thanh, the new love interest. I wasn’t exactly like them back in high school but the vibe was sort of the same, so they’re quite personal Along with their appearance is my favorite achievement and lines in the game, so you can imagine my excitement releasing this.
i like the banner, i think its very cute! but im also stuck at this screen bc thanh (after selecting them and get back to this screen the choice still show as unselected)
Much as it would be contingent on how they apologize, more than the choice itself, I typically choose the “forgive them” option because my MC is a book nerd. He’s not interested in picking fights just to make clear that taking something that belongs to someone else is a serious thing.
The glasses are needed because of visual impairment that borders on being, if not outright is a disability. This makes taking the glasses a more serious offense than a little “hee hee, it was a prank dude! ” type thing, so I want to treat it with at least some amount of that seriousness despite this being more intended as a lighthearted fluffy type of story. So I pick “Forgive them” but will I really depending on their response? Who knows.
I’ve just updated my other game Stake Through A Bloody Heart, and now my focus is on Help! I Can’t Find My Glasses!
Because I’ve changed Minh’s location, I have to rewrite their route (luckily not from scratch, though, I just need to adjust a few details). It’s about 30% done already. I feel like the new location suits them much better, with the way they’re living their life Also I seriously didn’t know how to proceed their route with the old location, so the change is a lifesaver for me.
I want to release a longer update, so ideally both Minh’s and Thanh’s route will be out next time. But we’ll see what happens. I probably won’t be able to do much writing this month, though, cuz it’s the end of term and there will be a shit ton of deadlines for me
Slice of life story really rare for this forum so thank you for this story. I really enjoy the available demo and really hope this get more attention. Stay healthy
Hi, thank you so much for your message! That’s so sweet of you! Slice of life is normally not what I intend to write but I keep gravitating to it anyway It just has a special place in my heart somehow.
I like it! It’s fun, lighthearted, and I could easily see it being a Hosted Game if you wanted to flesh it out a bit, expand the cast of characters a bit, delve into the protagonist’s home life and make them more customizable and such. Also, when my character was considering suspect’s, Minh got a great little interaction with the character, but Jamie and Thanh sort of just got a brief bit of description, which was a bit of a letdown. However, that could simply be because Minh was the one I chose first.
Regardless, I like it, I think the premise is fun and a nice way to cut into the slice of high school life you mentioned. I’m excited to see where it goes! Plus I like how sort of polished it is. Like I can tell it isn’t finished, but I can tell you’ve put in work on each page. I’ve never made a Choice Script game, and have nothing but admiration and respect for you authors who are badass enough to undertake the task!
@Lenore Hi, thank you for your words! Reading your comment makes me really happy (sorry for the late reply )
You’re right that Thanh and Jamie’s part is briefer than Minh’s. It’s because MC and Minh have a much closer relationship, so in MC’s perspective, there is more to say about Minh than the rest - at least that’s what I tell myself I plan to add something more later if I have any ideas, but that will be after I finish the game.
I’m having about the biggest burn out ever A few weeks ago I finished around 70% of Minh’s scene, and I was so confident I was gonna get it all done soon, but oh well.
I stop right before the romantic scene. Unlike Jaime the manipulator (as my friend call them ), the romance between Minh and MC is pretty legit. I guess I’m a little nervous since I’ve barely written any real romance before. As a solution, I’ve been reading novels to get in the groove. I’m really into Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth right now!
At this rate, I’m wondering if I should just post Minh’s scene as soon as it’s done, or wait longer to finish Thanh’s scene, too. Let me know what you guys prefer.
I mean, plenty of us can say what we’d prefer, but it is still better for you to work at your own pace. There’s no need to break the sound barrier with your productivity. That usually causes a lot of us readers of the WIPs on this site to worry about if the author is neglecting their needs.
At first I was thinking of whether to post this update since length wise, it’s not exactly big. But you get to see one of your “suspects”, so I figure it’s an important scene enough.
In this update, you can meet Minh in [redacted] (see walkthrough). I’m really glad how it turned out! You can also get a brief scene with Minh’s friends in a different location to get a feel of their dynamic. Feels like I have a favorite with how I write scenes related to Minh haha Along with the new scenes, there are also new achievements. Hope you enjoy!
