Hi joseph glad you enjoyed the vid! And yes i'd be happy to plays yours I do have a couple of vids to do first but I should have yours up by this upcoming Wednesday and I will send you the vid to see if you like it thanks in advance for the game much appreciated!
Oh my, I've been trying to get all the routes and unlock all the photos in the gallery but I've only managed to complete the first 5 endings as well as one tagged '??'. The more I play BLACK, the more questions I have... In other words, I'm hooked! And have already filled 8 pages of save-slots, hehe
So I'll admit that I was freaking scared within the first few minutes. The atmosphere and stuff--- Really effective! Especially since I died in less that 5 minutes during my first 2 attempts. But I put my cowardice away and decided to really tackle this quest for a happy ending! Turns out, I'm actually loving it and can't be satiated until I manage to get all the endings and images! Right now, I lack the 6th and 7th endings, as well as the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th and 11th photos. But I'll keep trying, in hopes of learning more about the plot!!!!
Thanks for creating such a fun game! I really enjoyed it! There's just one choice in the french version that's in English. The part where the MC insists to not eat and the creature asks why. Hope that's not a spoiler; just wanted to point it out in case... Otherwise, great job to you and the translators and whoever helped in the making!!! I hope more people get to enjoy this fun game!
This game was pretty awesome and funny. It mostly reminded me of Doki Doki Literature Club but only because that game made a big impact on me and it was made ALSO with Ren'Py. I am not sure if I will play this game again but I am glad I gave it a try!
since I'm not an expert at coding (this was my first game, and I'm still learning) I wouldn't recommend using my game as a reference, but what I can recommend is browsing the lemmasoft forums and in particular the cookbook (I took a lot of the coding from there):
BTW, I finished your game and I really enjoyed it!!
I finished 5 endings I think.
one more thing, I haven't even make a single game in ren'py (because I don't even have an artist to draw characters, so I am learning illustrator and photoshop) and I wanted to know if you can do this:
let's say we have character (a) and (b)
when (1) says anything, voice acting starts and also music starts
when (2) says anything after (1) finishes, his voice acting starts and the previous music continues,
is that possible? sorry for my bad English.
I am from Yemen (Arabic Country), I live in Saudi Arabia, that means I can translate your game to Arabic if you want.
and yes, it's possible. In the game option.rpy write: define config.has_voice = True
then in the game script you can code like this:
label start:
stop music fadeout 0.9
play music "music/music1.mp3" ###if you put the audio file in a different folder inside the game folder, write the path, like -> "music_folder_name/music1.mp3"
voice "voice1.mp3" ###same as above, if you have a different folder write the path -> "voice_folder_name/voice1.mp3" m "Hello!" p "(. . .)" voice "voice2.mp3" p "Who are you?"
stop music fadeout 1
return
also, if you download this other game you will have a wonderful example on how to do it: https://via01.itch.io/dont-open-your-eyes the scripts are uncrypted, so you can learn a lot on the process by examine the game files (and the game itself is very, very good! One of my favorites)
Again, I encourage you to read the cookbook because it's a life changer (XD) and also the people on the forum are very helpful and nice, they always answer all of your doubts on coding and stuff.
I appreciate the offer for a translation, it's always so awesome to have my game in other languages :D but right now I am abroad and I don't have the project on my pc, so I can't generate a translation script for you. If you want you can leave me your email so that I can contact you when I come back, or email me at schiva.games@gmail.com.
I thank you again for playing my game, and I will gladly play yours when it's done! Don't give up!
Have a wonderful day (and btw, your english is perfect )
I have another question if you don't mind, let's say I have made a game with 2000 words.....and I want to test the last sentence in the game (I want to see it's colour) is there a way to start the game at the last sentence?? I don't want to go over everything again and again.
IHello!! Ive just download the game few hours ago and i ve already unlocked all endings (My first ever try was ending 5 true endinh). I left 3 pictures now in Gallery but ive been trying for at least an hour now. Top left pic. Top right pic and the pic below top right pic. Can u help with it? I Love this game so much. I like hard to conplete mutiple ending story type games. I love this craft mknster human concept by the choices. Soooo cool.
Hi Sioray, thank you for playing my game and for writing such a wonderful feedback! :D
To answer your question...
(For everyone else, beware! SPOILERS)
1)To obtain the TOP LEFT picture, just play the game as a Woman and then don't kill the creature but just LEAVE the cave (you can pick whatever choices and the outcome won't be affected);
2)For the TOP RIGHT pick these choices: ---- I'm a man ---- am I dead? ----go with him ----eat----thank----cook----are you alright?----creature?----say something----everything ok----be kind----tell truth----have you seen yourself----sleep----stay here----kill him
3)For the one below the tob right, choose: ---- hi---- I'm no one---- where..---- go with him---- eat---- thank---- eat raw---- be kind---- tell truth---- start fire---- thanks---- sleep---- enter cave---- don't---- yes---- stay
Hope this helps ;) and if you're still stuck don't hesitate to tell me
tHANKYOU. I tried again today befofe seeing ur comment and still couldnt get it haha. Thanks. oh MOMMY. Wow. I did not think that i missed a mommy ending haha. For the top right? Whats thw difference between it and second pic from top left? Isit top right pic is Creature is monster I am Human. While Top left 2nd pic is Kid is human and i anm human too? Okay i understand the last one. Both are monsters
This is one of the most interesting little games I've played in a long time. The art really sets this piece apart from anything else I've seen so far. XD
Hey there! I really liked the game, nice story and great atmosphere that you managed to give the game! keep up the good work!
Have you considered participating in our https://thegdwc.com/ ? The competition is totally free and with winning prizes ! Our mission is to support and reward the Indie game developer community.
I'm having such a hard time getting those last three pictures (sencored for anyone who didn't play the game). Any help? I did check the walkthrough and I still can't get it
1)...hi - I'm no one - where am I - go with him - eat - thank him - eat raw - be kind - tell truth - start a fire - thanks - sleep -enter cave - kill him
2) (follow step 1 and then:) - yes - flee
3)get away from me - i'm a man - am i dead - no - i'm not hungry - no! - insult - cook it - eat - don't say anything - thing - are you dead? - you din't choke - be aggressive - tell truth - have you seen - sleep - stay - don't kill - yes - stay with him
Hope this helps! And thank you so much for playing the game ;D
Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I admit I was scared of the kid a bit at first but thankfully I trusted him enough for the True ending. I got it after I got the 4th ending after I ran from him because I needed to see if running away would kill me. Spoiler, it did.
Since the game is free I can only accept free contributions so if that's ok with you contact me at schiva.games@gmail.com and I'll send you the script :)
It's quite a nice game! The story is very attractive, and I felt as if I was reading a novel with pictures.
I wonder if I can help translate this game into Chinese (to see what I've missed in game *laugh*). If you need this, please contact me at 2292398666@qq.com. It'd be better if you can tell me the patterns that the translation should follow to be applied in the game :)
Thank you! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the story and yes, it'd be awesome to have the game translated in Chinese (plus, your motivation is a noble one XD)
I am a French student in a Master's Degree in Multimedia Traslation. As part of the formation, we have classes of game localization, and in order to be graded, we need to find a game and translate it into French, and I must admit that yours caught my eye and I really enjoyed playing it! I am very interested in translating it.
As it is part of the master's program, I can do it for free, but just a little recognition by maybe putting my name :). I am ready to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement if needed.
Do not hesitate to contact me at huet.coline@gmail.com.
so far on what i have played, i really really like this! hoping to get all the endings on this so i am looking forward to it :D good job on creating this!
I recorded this game and really wanted to upload my video, but for some stupid reason my video editor showed the recorded footage all being green, even though I can watch the video file itself and it won't be green, I don't know what's up with that, so sorry I can't show you, but I did enjoy the game and get creeped out a few times.
I'm sorry to hear that, are you using Sony Vegas by chance? I had the same problem once, and I fixed it following a guide on youtube, maybe it could help...in any case, thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the game ^^
Actually, I'm using Vegas Movie Studio 13 Platinum. I saw a video on how to fix this problem, but they had a folder that I don't have, and therefore, cannot open. So there's nothing I can do about it.
I don't think this game requires more music or fxs, but if you have a website where I can listen to samples feel free to leave the link. As long as your prices aren't too high I may consider using them for future projects ;)
For the prices I usually work them out project by project. With the last one I've worked on we agreed on 35 euros per minute of music made (it can change though)
The only thing I can say for feedbacks is everyone was satisfied of the final product in the end :)

Aw. I got true ending, and that was really cute
Hi, could you share the game's file in ren'py? I mean the files that you were coding and making the game etc...
I just want to know how you did some parts of the game.
Thanks.
Hi salehodinie,

Ho that's too bad! yeah sure ;)

2) (follow step 1 and then:) - yes - flee

This game is great, dude. There are a few grammatical errors, but it's not too bad. I'm making a video of this game on my channel.
Thank you! I know, I'm sorry about the errors ^^' if you can, let me know what needs to be corrected and I will fix it in the next update ;D
Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I admit I was scared of the kid a bit at first but thankfully I trusted him enough for the True ending. I got it after I got the 4th ending after I ran from him because I needed to see if running away would kill me. Spoiler, it did.

Hi Coline! I sent you an email ;) thanks again
YO, played your game and gotta say i was a tad surprised by the whole story.
Even thought i walked in with low expectation i really enjoyed the story and how you get to know it better through different endings
here´s the first part of two i made for my channel
Thank you for your gameplay! I'm glad you enjoyed the story ;)
*** POTENTIAL SPOILER ***
I got the ??? out of 9 ending, is that actually 9? Please help!! Loved the game btw.!!
Yes ;) and thank you! ^^
Thanks for the gameplay! ;)
No problem, here's the second part!
WE ALMOST HAVE ALL THE ENDINGS!! | Black | Part 3
this game is so amazing! i am so close to getting all the endings, keep up the great work!
This is a really good game.
We enjoyed it very much. We loved the dark ambient and the art style.
Here is a short video we made while playing:
Keep up the good work !!!Thank you! :)
WOAH, WAIT, WHAT?? | Black | Part 2
the next part to this awesome game! 2 more endings achieved! i love everything about this game! i cannot wait to play more on this!! :D
Very cool visual novel! The game was fun and entertaining great job! :D
This is a suprisingly well made and atmospheric for the visual novel genre. Nice work man, can't wait to see what you'll do in the future!
true ending first try!
Really enjoyed this Indie Horror Visual Novel! Love that there are multiple ending. And i had allot of fun voice acting in it!
WHAT HAVE I DONE?.... | Black | Part 1
so far on what i have played, i really really like this! hoping to get all the endings on this so i am looking forward to it :D good job on creating this!
Thank you so much for your gameplay! ^^ I'm glad you're liking the game, I hope the other endings won't disappoint you ;)

I'm sorry to hear that, are you using Sony Vegas by chance? I had the same problem once, and I fixed it following a guide on youtube, maybe it could help...in any case, thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the game ^^
Actually, I'm using Vegas Movie Studio 13 Platinum. I saw a video on how to fix this problem, but they had a folder that I don't have, and therefore, cannot open. So there's nothing I can do about it.
Hey, this happened to me too in the past, here is a video to resolve the issue :)
These are the exact same instructions I saw in another video before, thus remaining unhelpful, due to a folder not existing in in the "Sony" folder.
Okay, I figured out the problem, I was supposed to open it from in my Steam folders, because I have the software on Steam.
oooh haha! as long as your sorted :)
Very cool game, would like to see a 2nd part, get some answers answered :-)
Great job on this game, would recommend it :-)
I don't know about "improve", but if you want music or sound fx I'd be glad to help :)
Hi giulkau,
I don't think this game requires more music or fxs, but if you have a website where I can listen to samples feel free to leave the link. As long as your prices aren't too high I may consider using them for future projects ;)
Hi, at the moment I'm not home so I can only give you some links of projects I've worked on (not all but let's keep it short)
