this was good and very interesting! thanks for your effort and submission~ i have to ask, is "Tempest Breeze" referencing the very same of inhospitable?
Glad you enjoyed it! And no, I didn't intend for that reference-- I have another project that's on the backburner (because yes, the main character sitting on too many projects is in fact based on real life haha) involving a character who's meant to be a Sonic-the-Hedgehog-like, and they're named Tempest-- was basically just a fun happenstance given I figured it would be fun to have the main character be a fandom nerd.
(Though, given Homestuck and webcomics in general were a major part of my formative years I'd say it's a pretty funny coincidence)
Thank you so much for making this extremely personal and moving VN. I've been playing through this jam's submissions and yours is a stand out; a lot of what you put down on the page is stuff I (and I'm sure many other queer creators) have felt over and over again, and while the art of invoking relatability is common for VNs, you portrayed it so well that it hits really hard, and it's both emotional and motivating.
I love the way you portray a system through the sprites too, that's wonderful. Same with the overall GUI and presentation, it's very clean and smooth, makes me jealous.
I'm very glad you were able to participate in this jam, because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to read this.
d'aww, thank you so much! i usually don't do vent art, but i figured it would be something nice to do for the jam, especially with what's been going on with my real life situation haha.
it's been very motivating to see such positive reception to this, so thanks again!
