No problem. I updated the opening post with the font and installation instructions. That should hopefully address all issues. If you run into any other problems, let me know.

Happy new year Anonymous81

That fixed it! Thanks! This is awesome and, without spoiling it, hilarious! Amazing work! My face hurts from smiling lol.

Happy New Year to you too!

Hi ShenSun!

I just had the opportunity to play your game today in between some of the 3D modelling/printing projects I had going on throughout the day and all I can say is... WOW!

I feel like you captured the vibe and atmos of shenmue incredibly well, and I like the sense of community happening between the characters, it was very fun to see and participate (as myself!) in. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and the experience felt very immersive.

As anonymous81 above me says, a lot of moments were incredibly funny and entertaining, and I found myself laughing out loud throughout.

(Perhaps because I had to pause at some moments during gameplay) but I wanted to acknowledge that the lapse of time felt incredible and it genuinely gave me the sense that I went through a whole day in Shenmue-land.

Love how Chai was scrooge, thought that was really cool. Also enjoyed that beautiful moment during the dream sequence, and I almost choked on my drink when I saw the likes of Goro and Kazuma and all the one-liners! And I love how you fleshed out characters like santa


It's very nicely put together with so much love and care, it left me with a smile throughout and after. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together, I didn't really have many breaks this holiday (and I wasn't in the mood to play anything on my console either) so having this bitesize yet big-on-heart experience has left me with something very memorable and positive for my holidays.

Thanks again, I look forward to all that's yet to come from you and the community. Love and respect, keep friends with those you close to you x

Wow, Thank you so much for the kind words. Im so pleased it made a postive impression on you and everyone else.

My intention for the game was to make everyone smile and have a fun enjoyable experience at the sametime.

I tried to put alot of care into all the scenes, which was probably the hardest part of the process. Should i make this scene 0.5 seconds long or 2 seconds? Does this bg image convey the emotion of the background music? Are the character interactions communicating that friendly christmas "togetherness" feeling? Does this sound effect match this action? Should "character A" slide in or fade in? Change background/scene here or wait? Do the interactions sound genuwine? should i put a voice line here for further imersion? Does this seem odd? too much? Scale back? Choice of music? Etc. I applied the same logic to the menus and loading screens aswell.

the final difficulty being, does it all flow together in a congruent natural way or is it lackin/disjointed in certain areas.

The game is far from perfect, but im please with the result and pleased that the idea i had in my head transferred well into fan game.

I look forward to improving the visual novel formula futher.

Thanks for the detail kind response. Really appreciate it. No doubt the two christmas villians will return at the end of 2017 for some more chaos. :)

Happy new year.
