GREYINVIDIA'S PROFILE

Okay, what am I suppose to do? Every time I start up the game it takes me to a whitish messed up screen and all I hear it sobbing and I can't do anything.

You could try playing from included save file.

I guess...you all never seen a woman with one before XD

Well, that alone doesn't matter. It's just that she looks kinda lulzy with that beard.

Thanks for review. However from what I see, you haven't get through act 2 of the game and haven't seen a bit of act 3 that there is done so far ;). If my guess is right, I'd suggest going through these as well (however stuff that happens later on - especially in act 2 - may be at some part far too disturbing - or at least that's what many said).

@cookie1xo: I guess you didn't venture too deep into the forest. Sometimes triggering event may take 2 minutes, sometimes 15. You simply must be patient.

@DiceOfChance: New "Lisa" actually kinda gave me an idea of how to approach exploration in possible remake. However my main plan for Townlore is going even further beyond 4th wall. Nonetheless, I should finish my main project first - Divinity Fatum.

To explain - Divinity Fatum was firstly targeted for Yume Nikki Fanbase, because of its theme (altrough tackling it in a different way). Hated wanderfest and exploration part is something common in YN fangames. To add, here it's at least kind of explained (even more in further parts of the game). I wouldn't really call something like that "an unforgivable sin", as I know many people who on the other hand greatly loved that very part of the game. Atmosphere of that scene was somewhat sad, yet soothing for them - kinda melancholic, I'd say. It all depends on player that tackles that game and I think I mentioned in game's description that it's not for everyone. This game requires patience and ability to immerse with it. I agree that beginning may be kind of hard, as there is nothing going on for the most part, but the more we find, the more new content appears that actually starts to excite the player. Anyway, I'm aware that some may like that motive, some may hate it. I was really thinking about how to convey such feelings and at the same time shorten time of wandering. I made city smaller than it was supposed to be in the first place. I came up with intuition system. I even considered adding straight-forward guidance (kinda like gps), but on the other hand not only it would strip game from its emotional part, but would enrage players that want to want to "feel and experience" the game. Not mentioning that it would also turn game completely into "go from point A to point B" kind of game. Now at least player has to try and figure out how map and intuition works - not much of a riddle, but still something engaging and satisfying when you'll actually figure it out. Yes, you mentioned that there should be some kind of organic means of guiding the player to the next nodal points of story. There is. It's a map. You can get it on the street that you start off.

Anyway thanks for notice and I'd be glad to hear your opinion after you menage to complete act 2 (act 3 is still in the making, but second one is where everything starts to make sense... kind of).
