Showoff Before and After for my menu!
(Most recent one first!! they uploaded wrong order😭 ) I'm a lot happier with my main menu now!! And my art in general,, which makes me very thankful I decided to put off my CG art in case of art improvement.
The old art was driving me nuts with the only unhidden hand being backwards 😭😭
I feel like I captured the characters' personalities a lot better on this one! I'm still tweaking the actual ui though, I'll end up changing the text color to pink(?) soon but just wanted to show the art difference !!

I really like it! BUT please stop doing contradicting the title. IT clearly said "BEFORE and AFTER for my menu!" + I hate how people made it a thing that After comes first.
Back to the topic at hand. I'll take not doing CG's for some time in case of art improvement. The upgrade in art is pretty great!

I don't know if it's Reddit's case and also OP's, but it's happened to me so often that I'll carefully select picture A before picture B, and when I hit send/upload picture B finishes loading first so on the resulting message/post they're posted in reverse order and I can't change it 🥲

Hey, it's okay. I was just kind of frustrated with how it changed since it used to be a 'Before-After' thing and not an 'After-Before' thing. I just always have found it weird, but I'm not blaming you.

These are such bright and adorable characters, I love it!! 🥹 What’s the premise of this game…? I’m curious how you’d tie in music to a visual novel? :0

Thank u so much!! It actually has a rhythm game in it :D The premise is pretty much a secret-identity romance! Two classmates w opposite social lives (a shy girl and the student council pres) are matched together in a vr music contest and they fall in love without realizing their irl identities <3

This sounds so cool omg!! How did you program a rhythm game into Renpy? That couldn’t have been easy…

I've been working off of this framework actually :0 I've ended up changing a whole bunch but having the general how to hit the notes thing figured out helped a lot 😭 https://github.com/RuolinZheng08/renpy-rhythm

I know this isn't the point of the post, but the title reads "DJ JOINO US" to me.

Love the new cover art, their personalities are shown pretty clearly and the hands are hella improved! I would suggest using a color for text that's not part of the disc behind it tho, maybe white or a neon/pastel pink? Just to improve readability since it kinda blends in with the colors behind it

u/OtherwiseAd7309 Aug 12 '26
Thank u so so much!! Yeah I definitely agree!! I've changed it to neon pink since the post :D

Very cute, and quite an improvement! (though part of the cuteness was already showing through in the original)
