I did not steal from . I developed this whole game on that account so that I could share the full version here. This is the full version. The version on is an unfinished development build that is on version 0.97.3. This project is currently version 1.2.2. Development build (Contains many unused assets and code snippets. Also contains a full changelog since its sharing in November 2023): This project contains 26,128 blocks, making it bigger than all 3 of my previous largest projects combined. It also has over 900 handmade bitmap assets. What have I been doing with my life ಠ_ಠ There's so much dialogue in this game that I had to create a separate 1,000-block project in order to create a 17,500-character savecode to be loaded by this project into over 300 dialogue boxes worth of text. I checked the word count in Google Docs, and apparently I wrote 4,241 words of dialogue XD This project was developed through college, 2 bouts of depression, and constant sleep deprivation. Hopefully that doesn't show too clearly in the end result, lol. If you find any bugs in the game, please report them in the comments! I've left a few in the project because of how minute they are, but if your game completely breaks, please let me know. Also feel free to post your savecodes in the comments. By the way, be on the lookout for easter eggs! There are at least 3 in the game itself, and countless others in the code in the forms of variable names and costume names ;)
