I never thought a TeamANPIM game could hurt me! I was just waiting to see how they made it work and then they didn't and I was physically reacting. If the main menu had come up after that fade to white I might have actually screamed at 2am. Thank god fate won't let these two stay apart, I would have lost my mind. The ending felt so mature, even though I'm sad I don't get to see them dating (unless perhaps a sequel????) I can't help but be satisfied. There's something in knowing that fate itself is looking out for them, I know they're going to be okay. Thank goodness Minami has a force of the universe on her side, her dense noggin needs it.
Thank you for enjoying this year's game! That first fade to white fake out really did its job huh? 😏 I'm glad the ending is well received and was satisfying!! Also LOOL yes Minami needs the power of fate fr fr
Thank you!!!! <333 Minami is unknowingly a heartbreaker LOOOL naively heartbreaking.... Yeah it'd be cute to explore what happens after tbh!! I feel like they'd end up doing the whole "dating secretly" thing though and that's another can of worms..... which would give room for a sequel, don't you think 👀
TEAM ANPIM!! The year can continue now that the new game is here. I dunno how I'm gonna cope when this becomes once every 2 year's event :sob:
Those parting words Hokuto left Minami with? I felt those. Those hurt. But hey, not a bad idea to mix things up cause it makes the hopeful reunion that much sweeter.
I'm glad you discussed whether or not they would've "earned" being together compared to the time they spent prior; it annoys me so much when (mostly movies) shoehorn in romance/sex despite characters barely knowing each other. Maybe I'm biased for VNs, but the smaller time jumps and time they did spend felt sufficient as-is.
That smile emote on Hokuto's shirt is so perfect for her. And a Team ANPIM karaoke bar? *wink wink nudge nudge*
Separately, is the last CG in the Gallery supposed to be the bonus doodle? It's still locked after completing the game.
Thank you for your continuous support!! Glad to hear you enjoyed this year's game as well <3 Also perfect, those words were meant to hurt >:)
And yes, the last CG is supposed to be the bonus doodle. Weird that it's not unlocking for you. Would you mind clicking through to the end again and see if it unlocks? (If possible)
Looking at screens.rpy, I see cg6 is referenced as: image cg6 = "images/cg/cg6.png" In the images/cg folder, there is no cg6.png, it's "bonus doodle.png" (which is what's referenced in script.rpy)
I don't know the gallery unlock logic, so not sure if just changing the name would be sufficient or not. (I just know renaming bonus doodle to CG6 did NOT fix the gallery and just broke it in the main game (no surprise with that one)).
Edit: But what do I know... "cg2.png" doesn't exist either (CG2-2-2.png in the folder), but the karaoke CG shows up fine.
Edit 2: lolol at the commented out credits Afterword for Love Goes Toward Love.
I like writing smallish reviews of things I read/watch although I usually get too nervous about posting them anywhere and just keep them on my hard drive. But as this is a positive review and you took the time to reply to my comment I thought I should give you the chance to read it if you want. You definitely don't have to - I'm just a random nobody - but I wanted to show how much I like these!
Woah!! Thank you so much for the long and positive review, I really appreciate it a lot! I love the expression of "mental equivalent of comfort food", that's actually quite the accurate description of my games 😂 Fluffy, cute, cheesy, generic yuri that's not too deep.
We're very glad you enjoyed this year's game as well as our previous games! Glad to hear that our tried and true formula is still working while still being able to stay fresh with each year :' )
Thank you again for the review, praise, and recommendation! We hope you play our game next year!
Another great experience from Team ANPIM. <3 I'm really happy you were able to release another game this year and I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Thanks for everything!
Thank you for playing and enjoying this year's game! As always I'm always worried if each game I release is good or not, so thank you so much for the support! Stay tuned for next year! <3
Me when playing the game: theyre definitely gonna end up together -> np theyll get together after they show their feelings to each other -> wait are they breaking up before they even start dating? -> wait wait wait is this ANPIMs first story with a breakup ending? -> oh no -> oh yes!
Tbh Ive always been afraid of works about the universe, reminding me how short life is and how insignificant humans are. But stars are always beautiful, especially when theyre with the moon. Stars in the sky, and stars on a stage
LOL that is indeed a wild ride, and I'm glad I made you go through that! :' ) It was definitely a first writing something like this, so I'm glad it wasn't too bad (hopefully!)
Very true, the stars are always beautiful, both in the sky and on stage :' )
Awwww, sweet game! I thoroughly enjoyed the art and music, and as a space nerd, was overjoyed with the star/sky theme. Thanks for the wonderful story/game. <3
Thank you so much for enjoying the game, I'm so glad aaahhhh!!!!! Also very glad you enjoyed the star/sky themed motifs! I'm very happy with how well I integrated it! Thank you again for playing <3

Spoilers ahead, but I really enjoyed this game.

Cute story, with a more realistic take on the romance than previous works!
Minami is such a heartbreaker 😩I wish in my heart to see more of what happens after the ending! 😆

I fixed it! Updated the file! Don't think you need to redownload it just for the bonus doodle to show up in the gallery, but by all means!
Thanks for letting me know! Appreciate it a lot!
Every ANPIM has brightened the day I read it on, and this was no exception. Thanks so much for making them.
Omg I'm glad to hear the game was able to brighten your day!! Thank you so much for playing them and enjoying them!
