Any update for this fangame? I love this silly adorable fangame. It's so nice to interact with them <3
Sadly we're still trying to work on it - I know it's been a handful of years and I feel horrible about that, but maybe now that I've got some stuff back I can theoretically get back on the horse.
this reminds me a lot of hiveswap friendsim and i love it so much!!! argh this was so much fun to play and everyone was so in character! thank you for making this :D
oh man i really hope this is still getting worked on!! its really good and the scene w/ lukas made me really happy
my dude really forgot the name he just said...We're trying! Things have been absolutely BONKERS the past few months (okay, years) but I'm looking back at all the project files again.. No guarantees on anything immediately but know we're definitely looking at it :) --Kaz 💚
Omg I love this! Will you be coming out with a new ep soon??
We're slowly working on it! Technical disasters on my end led to a change in workflow we're still working out - I'm writing the routes still, and have a good idea of the plotlines for both.
I can't guarantee "soon" (unless you like Valve soon), but it will come out!

NickKaz!I've been feeling nostalgic for MCSM lately, so I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across this demo! Though very brief, it's clear that this is a labor of love: You nailed the presentation of the games, down to the episode select and the humorous tone matches the general tone of MCSM. Jesse's personality is spot-on, from what's there so far, and I got a genuine laugh out of the potion "predicament"; the little monologue felt a lot like the conversations that happen while you're weighing dialogue options in MCSM, and I like that you could choose between Male and Female Jesse (even though the choice is, at least as it seems now, purely cosmetic). The text could use some editing here and there, mostly minor spelling/grammar errors, but that's entirely forgivable since this is primarily a proof of concept.
I'll be following the game's development and looking forward to where things go!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this!!! I couldn't reply last night (We'd read the comment but we were both basically already asleep, haha) but we're SO thankful for your feedback,,
We're working on v0.1 right now, and we're hoping we do the next two characters as much justice as we did the Jesses!
