Picture Day

Story:

You play as a photographer, one of two in a particular town. Your business competition is out of town for a while thus you've got some more clients, and as always, you'll strive to get the best picture for your client.

Features:

• 922 words
• 3 endings
• An animated sprite 

(There is also a version that uses non-animated sprites, for the sake of running better on older/weaker hardware. Both are the same facial expression wise, the animated version just has more overall movement.)

Flicker/flash warnings:

1) The animated sprite may flicker a lot on weaker/older hardware. 

2) When in windowed mode moving the window around may cause the animated sprite to flicker.

Tips for flicker prevention:

• Don’t try to run the animated sprite version while many browser tabs (e.x. 20+ tabs) are open and several other applications are also running.

Extra words :D

Hello, thank you for stopping by and checking out this project.

I wanted to push myself to complete and publish something within a small timeframe, as such there may be rough aspects to this project, particularly with dialogue and music, I still need practice with those ^^;. This project was made for the O2A2 VN Jam, a micro-Visual Novel jam with strict asset limitations and a 1000-word limit.

The “theme” was sort of a patchwork of concepts, I came up with the initial idea after watching a music video about a class picture day or something to that effect. Then I tried to expand on that concept as well as incorporate an additional theme (I couldn’t really get the theme to mesh well with the illustrated character nor the initial concept, but some of it still persisted.)
