YES, MORE ACCURATE DATE. NOW TO COME BACK IN 3/4 MONTHS.
I'm not trying to pressure you or anything, but the longer it takes the more I grow irritated at myself for not being able to hibernate till the exact fucking day BEFORE 5th gets released. then when I play the 5th, if you say you're gonna make a 6th, then I'll start to grow irritated at myself for not being able to ONLY wake up on the day it gets released... why do humans not have a hibernation ability? I mean the pain of boredom would be gone since you could dream all you want and only wake up in a month or two to take a piss or something. then eat something before hibernating again.
thank you! when i finish the series i would like to make a complete version to possibly release on steam. that would be pretty far in the future though!
is there going to be more games in the treat series? i played through all the games and am currently playing the rest, i loved the treat series and i really hope that you will make another game as the story left me really wanting another part as i wanted to know what happens next. Hope that you will make more of these games and if you stop and just keep making other kinds of games i will still play and love them as all the games i have played so far have been really fun with an amazing or cute story.
Played through all four episodes in one go, and I feel like I received a 15% cuteness boost when I was done. The characters, the environments, and the general aesthetic are brimming with charm and left me wanting more.
Even the one thing I wasn't a fan of (the initial episode 1 map) improved from one episode to the next. It's a small thing, but the change in the seasons and Frostling itself made it feel more "real".
Overall, I loved seeing the gradual progression of the characters and the scope of the episodes.
Looking forward to future games! Can't wait to see what's next!
well... the 4th part of the series is a bit different from the rest but it's great this way too. It's rather story about traveliing and looking for home.
Hey! I absolutely loved the games you created! I've played almost all of them, the four games of this saga, first kiss at a spooky soiree, date treat, romance detective, and i was wondering if you're continuing making them! They're all really great games, and I hope you can continue! But if you can't continue making them, I can totally understand. Keep up the good work!! <33
Really good ending it made me wanna cry but it was very well done like the whole series was and I just loved how everything was connected I think you should make another one where Frosting gets over the pred and prey thing so we can go back and have what I would think be a REALLY SUPER HAPPY ENDING
So, I' really having trouble wrapping my head around this. How do I actually make the pictures into a fully functioning sprite sheet? The online tutorials I have found so far just managed to confuse me even more. So if you got anything to make me not fail, please let me know. This stuff is HARD. I honestly appreciate the support you are lending me in this endeavor!
if you make the image the right size it can tell automatically how to break up the tiles and stuff--the default is like a 384x256 sheet, which would fit 8 32x32 characters. you get 4 rows per character: 1st is walking down, 2nd is left, then right, then up. you also get 3 columns: 1st is one foot forward (doesn't matter which), 2nd is them standing normally, and 3rd is the other foot forward. that way it can do a walking animation :D i hope that explained things?? to make 32x64 sprites i just made the whole image 384x512 and it just worked. also we could probably move this conversation to email so we don't clog the comments with all this general rpg maker talk... lol
Ahh, umm... Yeah kinda didn't explain will cause it was late. I meant with using larger sprites. In the tutorial mentions the Sprite is 48 by 48 and how do you put that in a game. I heard it was different but could be wrong. Isn't the default 32 by 32. Hope I'm asking the right question. Something mentioned it interferes with the game if the sides are larger than 32. It's that true? I suppose what I'm really wondering is do the sprites have to be set on a square? Does it have to be 32 by 32 64 by 64 ect. or, can it be uneven like 32 by 60 or something. Sorry for being so clueless :P.
Also, how do sprite sheets work, like how do I go about making a sheet? By this I am referring to I have some pixel art, but how do I make that into an actual game material? Do you have an example. If you choose not to answer it's fine. Just feeling a little over my head here :/. APPRECIATE YOU!!!
oh right yeah 32x32 is the default for vx ace-- i make my treat sprites 32x64 tho. you can find some base assets in the rpg maker files, i used those as a base especially for making the tilesets. i think there's a lot of tutorials out there specifically for making rpg maker stuff, good luck!!
I looked at the tutorial, and it was SUPER helpful.
Thank you! One thing I am a bit unclear on is Transposing a Rpg maker game onto a different size scale. So how would you go about that. If you could give me an example from your game, or just point me in the right direction I would REALLY appreciate it: D. Hope I'm still making sense... It's late. Thank you again for taking time to help some me. I love your games Nami! I can be half as good as you ☺
Btw, Sorry!!! This one made a lot of sense in my head, but looking at it today... just no.
Just how.... how are you so good at pixel art!!! Sorry, for asking someone as busy as you for the info, but as far as I'm concerned, you are one of the best, so I ask because I feel I'm able to trust the advice. I've been working for a while and been trying to stylisticly draw, but after an hour I have the very basics!!! It's really difficult, and so I can really appreciate how much work those sprites must've taken. Have any tips 'cuz I'm low skill so I'm sure I'll get better with some practice, but ANY pointers you may have would be helpful. Anything like "Oh yeah, doing this saves you a lot of effort." Thank You SO much! Also, if these are ever annoying or you don't feel like answering, tell me! After all, maybe your style is something you want to keep to yourself. Never stop creating!!! :')
haha, thank you! i really like doing pixel art so i have a lot of experience with it. a while back i made a tutorial for how i do sprites, i hope it helps get you started! thanks for being so considerate too, i like responding to questions whenever i can, so don't be afraid of bothering me <3
Ay, umm so another question what are good programs for pixel art and the like, there are a lot of options out there, but I am really quite new to this so I was wondering what you think is a good one for me to look into, because you can hardly look into a game without the understanding of the actual look. I truly am sorry for bothering you, and I know you probably are busy, but I'm asking you because you have good judgement. Rpg maker vx ace is working so well. Again thanks for everything (including the games)!!!
no worries, i use paint tool sai for pixel art but there's also aseprite, graphics gale, idk lots of programs are out there but even ms paint works just fine :D
I'm so glad i found this series. This chapter was sad and sweet at the same time it's bringing tears to my eyes. I love your works and hope you to continue making games. I'd love to help you but i don't own any credit cards.. I would love to see your games on steam if your'e interested. I'll surely buy all of them. :D also, cute girls loving cute girls FTW!! ^^
thank you so much for playing! a lot of people are asking for my games to be put on steam, i haven't done it yet because you have to pay to put them up but i plan on looking into it sometime soon <3
I have a question, I have been wanting to a make a game for a long time, and you have inspired me, hopefully I won't give up ;D, so anyway I have been liking RPG maker because so many good games are made with it, some of which you made. The real point of this however, is that I need to know which Rpg maker you used, and which one you recommend. Thank you for reading, and I LOVE your games. Keep on making them.
just wanted to thank you for making these games. i've gotten quite a few free kid-appropriate games from this website but these games are their favorites. i've had like five 7-10 year old girls obsessed with them, they literally take turns playing and watching each other play any of the four in this series each time i let them use my computer when i babysit. their favorite is clever fox moxie! one girl has tried to play syrup and the ultimate sweet but it was a bit too reading-heavy for her, though she wants to try it again lol. and i haven't been accused of having the gay agenda sooooo, success! :D
Is there a reason Trick uses she/her pronouns in the Spanish version of the game? afaik the nonbinary spanish speaking community is using elle as an equivalent for they/them :0 I know the person who translated the game didn't mean wrong but it made feel a bit sad because i know that you feel umconfortable with people using she/her pronouns for Trick;;
the translator contacted me about this and i told them it was okay--i think they mentioned the pronouns thing in the readme so people will know if they check that? it's tough with some languages, like from what i understand, with spanish they pretty much gender everything? so you're kind of forced to pick one or the other? in which case it's like... ok. i guess go with feminine then. thanks for letting me know about "elle" though, i didn't know that was a thing!
Yeah Spanish is very gendered sadly - Using elle instead of él and ella and using -e instead of -o and -a for gendered words are kinda a recent thing, it's not accepted officialy yet in the language but a lot of Hispanic non-binary people go with that, especially online :0 Thank you for replying! <3
I just finished playing the last few games and finished this one and i love them! They are so amazing and lovely and I'll probably end up replaying them (especially when new ones come) I also plan on seeing your other works, very excited to see what happens! Keep up the amazing work!
So I just finished this installment in the series! I've really been enjoying it :) keep up the good work & I am excited to see what will happen next <3 <3

YES, MORE ACCURATE DATE. NOW TO COME BACK IN 3/4 MONTHS.
I'm not trying to pressure you or anything, but the longer it takes the more I grow irritated at myself for not being able to hibernate till the exact fucking day BEFORE 5th gets released. then when I play the 5th, if you say you're gonna make a 6th, then I'll start to grow irritated at myself for not being able to ONLY wake up on the day it gets released... why do humans not have a hibernation ability?

I would like to know if you are making a fifth game (If already confirmed can someone link me to the confirmation) cuz i needz mor.
i'm working on it~ i posted some screenshots on twitter a while back.
Ok thank you, I can't wait for the next one.
I just looked and OMFG my mind is blown!
Will this series launched to steam?
this game is very neat and adorable.
thank you! when i finish the series i would like to make a complete version to possibly release on steam. that would be pretty far in the future though!
Hey Nami, I just played all 4 of these games and think they're excellent. Can't wait for number 5! ^_^
God, you're making a lot of progress! This game turned out better than others! I love Trick! And your games ;)
And, Hey, Nami! How's the fifth game going?
(oh.... sorry for my bad english)thank you! (your english is just fine!)
the fifth game is going well :D it's about 70% done right now. still aiming to release it this summer.
keep up good work stay determined
do you happen to have a set release date for the next game? no rush! :)
hoping to release this summer :D
is there going to be more games in the treat series? i played through all the games and am currently playing the rest, i loved the treat series and i really hope that you will make another game as the story left me really wanting another part as i wanted to know what happens next.

love your work :)
i'm working on the next one, yeah :) thank you!
Ok good to hear :) thanks for the amazing storys and fun games, have a good rest of your day!
Played through all four episodes in one go, and I feel like I received a 15% cuteness boost when I was done. The characters, the environments, and the general aesthetic are brimming with charm and left me wanting more.

Looking forward to future games! Can't wait to see what's next!
Finally finished the game ;3, can't wait for the next one!
good game !!
So just something I was curious about... is "delicacy" canonical, and if so will it be alluded to by the characters in the next game?
yes it is canon, and yes it will be alluded to.
Neat! I live for such minor interpersonal moments.
Well I am 16 years old and I wish I could buy it because I am really curious what is happening in Delicacy .
We'll... tell you when you're older (<_< ) ( >_>)
Why not now (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
well... the 4th part of the series is a bit different from the rest but it's great this way too. It's rather story about traveliing and looking for home.
"TO BE CONTINUED" . So, I'm waiting for more :D
hurry up with the next one XD XD i love these games so much!
Just finished playing through the series and i have to say I'm utterly in love with all the characters /o\<3
Hey! I absolutely loved the games you created! I've played almost all of them, the four games of this saga, first kiss at a spooky soiree, date treat, romance detective, and i was wondering if you're continuing making them!

thank you so much! i'm working on the 5th game right now actually :D i don't have a release date yet but it's definitely coming soon~
No problem!! Good luck with the game <33

uhh hm i make my games at the default size so i don't know if i can help you on that front D:

i use rpg maker vx ace, it's pretty easy to make something nice with :D good luck on your projects!!
One of the things I appreciate most is that you respond so quickly to any comment. Thank You!
Will any of the games in the series ever be available on Mac??
probably not--rpg maker is windows only so there's nothing i can really do about it :(
I have a very important question... HOW IS EVERYTHING YOU MAKE SO ADORABLE?!
here's my important answer: i just love cute things so i try my best to make more ;)
just wanted to thank you for making these games. i've gotten quite a few free kid-appropriate games from this website but these games are their favorites. i've had like five 7-10 year old girls obsessed with them, they literally take turns playing and watching each other play any of the four in this series each time i let them use my computer when i babysit. their favorite is clever fox moxie! one girl has tried to play syrup and the ultimate sweet but it was a bit too reading-heavy for her, though she wants to try it again lol. and i haven't been accused of having the gay agenda sooooo, success! :D
THAT'S SO SWEET!! thank you for sharing <3 love to hear when kids play this series haha
ETA on the next game jet?
sometime this year!
Thanks for the info.I'll keep an eye out for it.
Please make a fifth of the series!
So sad ending that Trick left after just one night!
;[
no worries, i'm working on the next game right now :D thanks for playing!
I am so happy you answered thanks!
My favroute RPG make game and series.
Shows you don't need a game full of violence for it to be good!
What's your next idea for the game series?
Is there a reason Trick uses she/her pronouns in the Spanish version of the game? afaik the nonbinary spanish speaking community is using elle as an equivalent for they/them :0 I know the person who translated the game didn't mean wrong but it made feel a bit sad because i know that you feel umconfortable with people using she/her pronouns for Trick;;

Just binged all of these games in a day, the end to this one actually got me teary-eyed. GG, can't wait for the next installment in this series!!
I just finished playing the last few games and finished this one and i love them! They are so amazing and lovely and I'll probably end up replaying them (especially when new ones come) I also plan on seeing your other works, very excited to see what happens! Keep up the amazing work!
