The amount of rage i felt on the ending and the PEACE afterwards, you had a chokehold on me, because I COULDN'T stop playing. You made something that marked my soul in a way no other game could.
I LOVE that [SPOILER] when she is given a name, she's also given a face, symbolizing that we are loosing the control (and the memories why not) we gave her, and the end is so excruciatingly painful even for her! Usually I don't like games we loose our game name, but at the end when Draco calls us our choosen name I smiled so much!
Young Vincent story is so relatable HIS MONOLOGUE WAS FANTASTIC!!!! It's also so cute the subtle love confession them both share at the bar (I wonder if they explored each others bodies...)
And the best character, Zalmona my girl I love you.
This is honestly insane, I wished I played this game live and I might because omg, it's not even about the gameplay, but the complexity of the story, congratulations to everyone involved in this project and mainly dino999z
JUST FINISHED THE GAME (as of the current update) AND HOLY MOLY, that was a ride! I really really enjoyed it and this game just became my favorite VN of all time :))
In your hiatus you noted that this was taking too much of your life for a project that doesn't provide income - perhaps you could start a 1-2k$ Kick Starter to finish it? Or however much you think would be a definite incentive? You don't have to lowball your effort, and the fandom is big enough that I think together we'd buy you a cheap car to see this game finished.
I just finished the game and holy shit. it was incredible the plot twists and the victor and vincent storyline? AMAZING. this game is really good and if ur thinking about playing it you definitely should. 5 stars.
I NEED chapter 5 and 6 ASAP. The way I cried when basically everything happend (don't wanna spoil but I think you know what I mean). It was actually crazyily good. I just hope Victor and Vincent aren't gay..since i'm muslim and I won't be able to finish this.. But sure i'll get over that. I just love this game. Deff touched me somewhere in the heart.
That's a you problem. You cannot tell someone not to do something because it doesn't align with your beliefs, it's like you telling someone not to eat a cupcake because you're on a diet. So instead on hating people over something they can't control, I'd advice you to rather find resources to combat your hatred
Have you read my comment right? "I HOPE Vincent and Victor aren't gay" not "You can't make Vincent and Victor gay." Be for real now. And over something they can't control is wild. You just want them gay cause youre that yourself. I NEVER said or told Dino to not make them gay. I said I HOPE. Theres a difference.
Your ability to write interesting plots is IMPRESSIVE. Came for the art style, stayed for the characters, their personalities and their stories!! Will definitely stay tuned for more updates :]
Finally just finished playing this, and it was AMAZING. Even if you never come back to complete this, what you've already accomplished is incredible, and I loved every second of it. 💖
absolutely AMAZING game. the story, the art, the music, everything is so well done, i absolutely adored it! i've grown very fond of the characters and their stories, so if anyone is wondering if they should play the game, please do! you won't regret it!
I LOVE this game... the characters, the story, and the art makes me so into this game I would replay it all over again.. I'm looking forward to the future chapters and I'm so willing to wait for all the works that you'll make in the future!!
Personally, I don't see why you went ahead and made 2 games before finishing this one. I mean you stated before that you had issues with game dev and you would finish when you can, but, doing 2 different projects before you finish the one really isnt the best idea. I mean I understand its hard to focus as a game dev; especially since I have adhd, but I still know that starting new projects before you finish the one never ends well. Especially for the people that found this game through TWDAK and then have to wait for the rest of the first game to be released on account of not wanting to play incomplete games. Idk man, whatever's going on I get it; but theres still probably better ways to handle the situation, ig.
if you only work on one project at a time you can get serious burnout and the project will stop being fun. that's how most creators end up abandoning their games ENTIRELY. it also demotivates creators when they get criticism that isn't constructive (like this.) if you want more updates then instead of making the dev feel bad about prioritizing other works, compliment what they've made so far and show interest in future content. enthusiasm is the best motivation. /nm
bros allowed to make other project if they so please, doesn't mean they've abandoned this one. if they want a break from it they can take a break.. and even if starting new projects from your experience doesn't end well it doesn't mean the same for them..
This game is definitely having a spot in my heart. I know this game from Therapy with Dr. Albert Krueger. The plot twist of this game really caught me off guard but why Vanora??!?
OMG I LOVE THIS GAME, THE LORE, THE PLOT OMG IM OBSESSED SRS IF I COULD I WOULD HUG YOU AND THE CHARACTERS FOR THIS AMAZING GAME, I REALLY LIKED THE FINAL TENSION WITH THE ROOMS LOVE LOVE AND LOVE
IM BECOMEING OBBOSESSED WITH THE G4ME 4UGHH PLE4SE I NEED MORE CH4PTERS WHY DID V4NOR4 H4VE TO ST4B 4ND MURDER DR4CO W4444 SPE4KING OF DR4CO I NEED HIM IN MY LIFE HE IS SO FINE I JUST W4NN4 4HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM GOING INS4NE I NEED TO KNOW WH4T H4PPENS NEXT, DID V4NOR4 SEE WH4T WILL H4PPEN? SINCE 4T THE END OF CH4PTER 4 IT GOT MENTIONED TH4T SHE C4N 4LSO SEE IN THE FUTURE... PLE4SE I NEED TO KNOW UHUHUHUHU
Oh my god... I have been following this project since 2019, so I played the very early version of VTSOM when it was still only in Chinese (and I think I played and followed the game until Chap3).
Today, I downloaded it again, and WHAT THE HELL! Dino did A LOT of remakes on EVERYTHING!!!!! The quality of the game is insane now, and how did he do all these UI with Ren'Py??? AND all those new music... how????
I can't even think how much time he put into this. He is so talented; I felt it before, and I feel the same now.
Back then, I was still in college when Dino released Chap1. Dino's project really inspired me to work on an indie game project someday... and now I am really developing my own game...! Ah damn, replaying this game really pulls me back into the old times.
Exceptional. The whole experience of playing this game was very smooth and cleverly interactive in a way that locks you in in a very good way and not the 'insanely hard to the point it makes you want to give up the game' kind of way.
The storyline and plot was also really captivating. There's a few things that still remained unexplained, and I'm still hoping that we could see more things from Victor's point of view. (I'm shameless with the fact that I think I favor Victor a little bit more, hence why I want to see more of him and get to know him better, probably due to my personality leaning more towards Vincent and I think every Vincent needs their own Victor.) I believe the key element to making your game timeless is to keep your players curious about the characters in the game, and you nailed this right where it hits good. The way you write the relationships between each characters and how they relate to each other are really... all I can say is you're a writer who cares about all your characters equally and it showed in the game. I'm just at loss of words, especially at how you unfold Victor and Vincent's relationship and just how dependent they actually are to each other. Chapter 4 ending was sort of unexpected, but I do understand why it ended up they way it did.
As for the background music, they are all fitting for every situation and scene in the game. I'm a really meticulous person when it comes to this aspect, and it's one of the aspect that most games overlooked because it seemed unimportant enough compared to other striking aspects like visual and storyline. But seeing how each scene in this game are accompanied by music and sounds that truly fit the vibe, I can easily tell that you really took your time in choosing each of them carefully.
If I were you, I would be really proud to be the creator of Vincent: The Secret of Myers. Will definitely come back to this once new chapters are out and ready. Thank you very much for creating this amazing masterpiece and please, do keep up the good job.

counterpoint: isn't it better to have a few, complete projects, rather than a bunch of unfinished ones?
bros allowed to make other project if they so please, doesn't mean they've abandoned this one. if they want a break from it they can take a break.. and even if starting new projects from your experience doesn't end well it doesn't mean the same for them..
i falling in this game just to looking ,is so beauthy and the gameplay it´s very good
