I’m glad you posted this here! It was amazing. We played it on the stream on the second day and I’m not sure if you saw us.
I like the character select gimmick and the graphics are excellent. The UI decoration I appreciate a lot.
I worry that it’d be a lot more work to draw more than just Lucy with a few animations attached, though. It seems ambitious. I don’t know what to say except I would love to see more of it.

So this is a this little thing that I've been working on recently, and it's - you guessed it! - a Bittersweet Candy Bowl sim-thing.
It takes inspiration from the Persona 4 Social Link system, as well as the Ace Attorney visual novel style.
The plan is for this to end up being a first-person version of the current story, starting from the first day of high school, with large amounts of branching stories and so on!
For example, if you're playing as Mike and you've gotten to the December chapter, then you may decide to hold your tongue when the groups are being decided. Then, instead of being paired with Lucy, you'd be paired with Sue! And then other possibilities would open up, and so on and so on.
What I'm linking here though is more of a... tech demo of sorts. It features the prologue chapter, where you select your character through branching dialogue, and then get a taste of the stats screen and the system that will be used. It's very, very small, but no shortcuts have been taken with the coding, so it wouldn't take long to transfer script to product.
If you've read this far, then thank you! But that's enough rambling from me - here's the link!
