It’s now 2016. So how is the turnout of my visual novel, Beyond Happily Ever After<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\"Clipboard01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The theme and mood criteria were the highest-ranked, as usual. This means I’m gradually improving my craft as a visual novel creator, always sticking true to the theme and setting up the mood nicely.<\/p>\n

In terms of the improved mood rating, I’ve done that by picking the most appropriate royalty-free background music I could find. Plus, the color scheme of the UI has something to do with the theme: green is synonymous to growth, my chosen theme.<\/p>\n

And to those who commented that my story needs some more tweaking, yes, I do have plans to tweak the story for an eventual compilation of the visual novels I’ve made for LD and Global Game Jam so far. I just need to approach fellow visual novel developers for that plan.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s all for this post. Look forward to Global Game Jam 2016!<\/p>\n
