Its still a game about falling in love with disabled anime chicks.

It's about not falling in love with a disabled girl.

It's about falling in love with a girl who has a disability.

This. The whole point of the game is that they're people, not disabilities.

Yes at first glance you can be forgiven for thinking it's a shallow attempt to exploit peoples disabilities but if you actually play it (regardless of whether you think it's good or not) you have to accept that it's not like that at all.

The two are identical. I girl who has a disability is a disabled girl and vice versa.

And what's bad about falling in love with a girl with diability? Is she worth less just because she is blind/burned/deaf usw?

you know I should have foreseen this happening

Yeah, you should have.

my spidysense must have been off

I adore the front, it only needs more polish, if that makes any sense. The back I dunno if I like, though I think that may only be the darkness around it.
Perhaps add the picture of the park as background or something.. And.. Hmm.. Integrate the pictures into tree branches. <3

But back on topic: Very nice work. I approve!

 

[Tony2077]

why don't you make the picture on the front flow over to the back some how add some more substance to the back. it could just be a back drop to the pictures

Usw? Mein Freund, wir sind hier nicht in Deutschland/Polen/Austria.

And theres nothing wrong about it. Of course a woman doesnt become worthless the moment shes bound to a wheelchair or loses hold of the kettle and burns the skin of her legs. But im just saying. Playing a game like that and telling your college class about it might net you some ridicule.

EDIT: Let me add this: please stop putting words in my mouth. I didnt imply anything of the sort. If you are that desperate to have an easy argument, I suggest you visit R&P or go into one of the countless ME3 threads and scream "entitled" a few times.

And playing any dating game would probably bring ridicule, it doesnt neccessarily have to be about disabled girls.

snip

the Pinkie sense is better ....

ANYWAY!

the problem i have with both versions, is the back, it just kinda sits there, maybe take the V1 back and put the picture with the snow from V2 and set it in the background?

 

[DrRockor]

See if you can copy some of that minuscule text they always put on the bottom of the back of the box (system requirements, whether its multiplayer or not, etc) and paste it in there.

I'm trying to get the system requirement thing made right now but the site wont load. -.-
That website is so unreliable.

EDIT: damn you shareware. The system requirements from the devs are so vague its hard to work out.

making the background for the back now as well. I'm just editting the image for it

 

[Ninjafire72]

I don't see the appeal in japanese media. It's not funny, it's silly. It's not well written, it's stereotypical. I've not seen one good example of japanese media that even comes close to the standards set by western media, which is insanely low already.

Silent Hill 2.

OT: I kinda think the labels on the back are too general on vague for my taste. Should probably focus more on Hisao' intro and less on each character, that way you can get the reader intrigued without any spoilers.

 

[Durgiun]

The back needs some blown-up image of something, but its opacity down to 50% or so, behind the pics. Perhaps the KS logo? Also, no black. That's just lifeless and the games is about living life, no? Among other things.

It seems that japanese culture gets more disturbing every day. I wouldn't touch that game with a hundred foot pole.

And yet this one wasn't made by Japan.

Not to mention you're probably writing this game off as "cripple porn" in which case I can safely say, bite your worthless tongue you evolutionary dead end. It has sex, yes, but it's tasteful and not even CLOSE to being the point of the game.

 

[DrRockor]

Why dont you just grab a random box image of some GFWL game, take the bottom bit with the system requirements, and copy paste it? Shouldnt take to long to find a fitting one. Do the system regs really have to be accurate?

Oh man, my tendency to cut corners is showing again.

accuracy isn't hugely important, the barcode is off a random game. I'll look a little longer, I would like to get the actual ones if I can but if I can't then I can't

 

[Jekken6]

Pretty good work, OP. Although, with the back, you should probably have something of a much lighter colour for the background (i know it's only temp, but still). Also need a text box at the back that gives an overview of the game without spoiling anything.

 

[DrRockor]

Ok, I just finished version 3. What do you guys think?
