DKFAJSDLKFJASDLKFJASDKLFJASLDKJFALSDKFJASDLFK OMG I AM SO GLAD. HEARING THAT MAKES ME 50,000 SHADES OF HAPPY. I'm really happy you enjoy my games!! Thank you so much for telling me!! 🥰💕
Hello Carrot I’m so sorry for the slow comment, I wanted to take the time to write you something properly detailed but my brain has not yet managed. So for now, here are the bullet points I wrote right after playing -
This was so much fun and so INCREDIBLY polished!
Fantastic action sequences!
Brilliant banter!
Great pacing in the tense moments!
Love the 4th wall asides!
So many clever uses of visuals (especially liked how you did the, hmm, self depreciating spirals??) Also really liked how you did the ‘passage of time’.
Laughed so much at the giant eye and the javascript riddles!!
Enjoyed the rabbit soldier confetti!!
Wonderful writing and so many great turns of phrase
Esp loved the sprite expressions!
Iggy is a such a sweetheart and should be protected at all costs!
And although I’m afraid I’m too fraidy about the trigger warnings in your main game, I’m so happy I got the chance to meet the characters in a slightly less ominous context, they were all wonderful and this game was such a delight!
YOOO if you read the above comment tomorrow and wonder why I didn't mention your amazing FIRST PLACE AWARD it's because I was sneaking in some last minute commenting before the awards happened and I didn't know it yet!!! (I'm now extra glad I managed to do so before it gets lost in the flood of attention hehe!!!!) Anyway, a massive congratulations, it is so well deserved and I'm so happy that you'll get more eyes on your game from it! Hurray!!! 🎉
DO NOT APOLOGIZE SKDJFALDKFJA I also have a lot of games left on my own list to play, as well. I was super great at the beginning, then I fell way behind 🤣💦
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE LOVELY SNIPPETS OF YOUR THOUGHTS!! These are many me laugh and smile so much!! Heheh, I love just hearing people's immediate thoughts to some of the shenanigans.
"self depreciating spirals" --> OH do you mean the part with Iggy and the The Collector?? If so dkjaflsdkjafdkajsld thank you 😭💕 That was a part that took me a bit of thinking to decide how to approach it and I wasn't even sure how the final effect would be or how it would be interpreted, so I'm really glad that you liked it!
"Iggy is a such a sweetheart and should be protected at all costs!" --> THIS IS EXTREMELY TRUE KAFLJDK 🥺💕
And HHHHHHHHNNNN NO WORRIES AT ALL. I know the main game definitely isn't for everyone! It gets rather intense and grisly at times. Thank you so much for playing this game though and I'm really so glad you could still enjoy and have fun with the chars!! That really means so much! And thank you for typing up your thoughts, this was really so sweet!!! 💕💕
Realizing I should probably post my review here as well, lol.
Genuinely, had so much with this game! The characters were all so enjoyable and fun. The writing was great all around, but especially the humor! I actually laughed out loud at several parts. I also LOVED the art! It was so lovely! 😊
It's clear you put so much time and love into the game! I really loved every part of it and look forward to following your work ❤️❤️
AWWWWWW THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT HERE, TOO!! That's so thoughtful and sweet!! (All the comments and ratings being split up between the actual game page and the jam page is so confusing and awkward, I swear dklafjsldkf)
Thank you so much again for playing and for your wonderful playthrough! I loved watching it so much!! 💕
LOL it does have kinda that cute-on-the-outside dark-on-the-inside fantasy type vibe going for it hahahahaha. Though it doesn't go nearly as dark as Made in Abyss 🤣💦 (if only I could make something that masterful dkafjsldkfj)
The cinematography was great, the animations really fun, the characters really charming, the artstyle so cute.
Now a text recreation of my first time playing it with the prominent thoughts that i remember:
--obligatory space with lot of dots to avoid spoiling people--
.

-Oh! even the warning screen is cute
-Gosh, that cinematic intro was so cool
-I don't know any of you but already like you
-Wait? this was a 'dating sim'???? 0: (i don't know how i missed it)
-they are so cute!!
-Oh no, don't listen to the intrusive thougths Ignatius!!
-That scene with the tentacle monster was so cool
-Guys!! give Ignatius a hug!!!!
-I love eyeball monsters
-Oh no! javascript trivia! quick!! open w3school!!!
-Oh wait, they are responding, cool
-I love arrays, now i'm wondering if renpy has a 'for each', need to search that.
- Is that Broken by Peritune?!!!!! (I love that song, i have been thinking in using in something for some time and listening in another context was equals weird and cool)
-Love the spinning with the axe scene
-I LOVE YOU UNHINGE BUNNY!!!!!! You go king, destroy the world or whatever!
-- space for me feeling bad for rotting to much for the evil sadistic unhinge rabbit --
-Hell yeah, the power of love and friendship
-Kinda want to get the other endings but don't want to separate the ship (got the Genzou ending).
Oh, thank you so much!!!! It means so much that you've played it! And thank you for this wonderful comment! 🥰 AND LOL YOUR COMMENTARY IS HILARIOUS hahahah I'm laughing so hard!!
"Wait? this was a 'dating sim'" --> LOLOL IT'S... I MEAN... kinda. I realized it was semi-turning into one as it went along, so I just rolled with it. It probably doesn't have the right vibe for an actual dating sim though LOL
"Is that Broken by Peritune?!!!!!" --> YES IT IS!!! Hahahaha omg I know what you mean. Every time I hear a song that I've either used before or have downloaded in my "potentials" playlist, it feels so funny. That gave me such a laugh! 🤭
And heheheh I am glad you liked 🐰 I had so much fun writing his lines (and admittedly went a little off the rails LOLOLOL)
And awwwww you got Genzou's ending heheh! I really enjoy that ship (well, I like all of them, but Genzou just holds a special place in my heart adjlfaskdfa 💕)
At any rate, thank you so much again for playing and for your hilarious words!! I got a huge kick out of them! And it means a lot!!
Omg... !!! This game is... It's like I'm not playing a vn game but I'm watching an animation?! O_O I didn't know Renpy atl can be that powerful and all of this in just one month. I am shook!
I played Our Wonderland up to chapter 2 so I decided to give it a go ^^ And OW has already been impressive with all the CGs and atl but I think this game shows just how much you improved since OW chapter 1.
Your art style is just ideal for this type of game! It seems simple enough so you can make many CGs and sprite variations but it's also detailed enough to give the characters so much personality.
It's also very impressive that your main game has already become so big that you can make a game like this (regular lenght for a VN jam) as a side project.
Orlam is my favorite ^^ He just makes me smile. I went for the other two routes first so I can save him for the end xD
I hope you will keep making many many more games even when OW is done!
OH GOSH!! This was such a sweet comment, thank you!!! 😭💕 THAT IS SUCH HIGH PRAISE. I only wish I could actually release a real animation of my chars someday, but I'm not talented enough LOL But I'm beyond happy to hear that my game can feel even anywhere close to that dkfjalsdkaf
And I'm so happy you're playing OW, as well!! LOL YES. It's been... literally almost a year now since I first created Arc 1 of OW, so I've come a long way not only in scripting but also in the art I feel hahaha (even just from this jam itself I've learned so much). Maybe someday once the whole game is finished I'll do some kind of remaster where I re-polish up some parts of it, particularly the early stuff. Thank you very much for the kind words about the art!!! I get a bit self-conscious about it sometimes so that honestly means so much 🥺💕
HEHEHEHE I AM GLAD YOU LIKE ORLAM. I like him quite a lot myself. And that is so sweet that you played through all the endings, ahhhhh. I hope you enjoyed all of them!!
Thank you again so much for playing and for this wonderful comment! It really made my day and brought a smile to my face! And also I hope you'll enjoy the later arcs of OW, as well!!! 🥰
Anything that promises shenanigans up the wazoo is bound to be brilliant, and you certainly delivered x3 This was both adorable and hilarious. I just popped it on auto, kicked back with a coffee, and had an absolute blast ^-^ There's so much going on all the time that it was like watching a whacky movie, haha.
So yeah, epic really! I don't know what else to say x3 Other than that I love everything about it :P Awesome job <3
AHHHHH HELP THANK YOU KDJFALSDKJFALK 🥺💕 Thank you for playing and I'm so glad you had a lot of fun with it (and enjoyed my ridiculous humor)!! And LOL I am glad to hear that auto works well; I've actually never tried it on auto before so I was actually wondering a bit about that hahaha 🤔
That really means so much guhhhhhhh Thank you for such a sweet and wonderful comment—it really made my day!!! 💕
The music was great. From what I gather from the credits, the tracks are not commissioned and were pre existing? If that's the case it's so impressive. Perfectly chosen to fit your work. The way the march worked with the effects was particularly good. And the ending credits song felt like it was made for the game. Such a great fit! Also, on the subject of audio, I noticed a few usernames in your freesound.org credits that I've used as well which made me smile. How good is freesound! :D
I love the art. Kind of high res but non-anti-aliased pixel art (not sure how to even describe it, but it's rad). Your style is so distinctive.
The movement and animation choreography was superb. So expressive. You depict so much with so little. Absolutely loved the fight scene where Bucks was dismembering all the rabbits, that was so awesome :D You've inspired me to think about trying more movement in my stuff. I feel like my approach is very static, I need to experiment more.
The story was so entertaining and genuinely funny. Your comedic timing is great. And then also genuinely heartwarming and bittersweet as well. You have awesome range. I haven't played the main game (will def have to remedy that) and I felt like maybe I was not quite understanding a few things. But all in all it still worked pretty well as a stand alone story.
The GUI was super good. Lot's of nice little unique touches. And I really liked the 'out of game' interludes. That layout was really well done and used to great effect.
All in all, fantastic stuff. really well done!
PS Double posting this from the game jam page because it REALLY annoys me that doesn't happen automatically.
OMG AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 😭💕
LOL yeah so far I've only ever worked with royalty-free music (though in the future I would LOVE to have a chance to actually work with a composer!!!). I always spend a long time just like hunting around for tracks and then living with them for a while to figure out what I feel vibes with certain scenes. I do this for the main game too and honestly there is so much good stuff out there. A lot of the music I've found and used has actually inspired stuff within my games themselves!! I really love working with music in general kdfjalsdkfa AND LMAO YES FREESOUND MY BELOVED. I've downloaded so many sounds from there it sends me emails like "we see you've downloaded a lot..." 💦
Thank you so much for all your kind words about the art and animations! I had a ton of fun acting like a director while setting up the scenes. And I'm glad you found it funny!!! I never know how well my humor will hit with people LMAO especially as it tends to be a bit off the walls. YEAH... especially towards the end I can imagine not knowing anything about the original would make things feel EVEN MORE OFF THE RAILS. But I'm at least glad you could still overall enjoy it even without knowing anything!! Thank you so much for giving it a try in spite of that!!!
Just thank you so much again! This was such a lovely and wonderful comment and it really made my day!!! It means so much!! 🥺💕
(LOL I NEVER KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE COMMENTS EITHER I wish they were connected)
Yeah it shows that the music you choose is super considered. It's just so cool you can find stuff that fits so well. I really need to try branching out from just classical :D
Haha yeah, I also have had the email from freesound... a couple of times... :D
And you're welcome. You made an awesome game. I hope a billion people play it.
Sorry, but I just have to drop in here quickly to intrude and say that it makes my heart soar to see someone else show the same enthusiasm towards finding and matching BGM tracks they've found to their games as I do xD It's something I totally nerd out about and spend waaaaay too much time doing, and when I try to explain it to my brother, he stares at me like I've just crapped on the floor or something T_T
I have had many a field day in the past on royalty-free music sites and in DLsite BGM pack sales x3 Aaaand, then I wound up falling down the rabbit hole of trying to make my own soundtracks at some point, which has become equally addictive, haha.
My point is, matching music to your game is so much damn fun!! <3 And your choices for this were absolutely perfect! ^-^
I know exactly what you mean!! It's so much fun perusing through and living with tracks and vibing with them until you're able to find the perfect ones for different scenes! I tend to go through and just start downloading all the songs I like, then put them in a big playlist and just listen to it for days while I'm thinking about the story and scenes until the music pieces start clicking together in my head aksldfjasdkl I AM SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES THIS 💕
I have a couple sites I've used regularly, from individual composer sites to DOVA-Syndrome. Also recently I jumped to an Audiostock subscription after I saw some of my fav composers have even more tracks available there and I have not regretted it. So much great music guhhh
YES! I do something similar xD I get a bunch of stuff that fits the themes, and then I spend ages just absorbing it, haha. Sometimes I wind up coming out with new scenes entirely inspired by the tracks that otherwise wouldn't have existed! I stick em all on my phone and listen while I'm exercising, which often gives me even more ideas x3 and if I have to go do errands in town and stuff, I listen to em while I'm walking as well, haha. Helps me so much with writing to have something suitable to listen to as well!
I need to check some of the sites out that you mention! Cos I started out on my first game just using incompetech, then wound up getting bits and bobs cheap from DLsite, and kinda stuck with that for ages without exploring much else >.< As much as I love trying to make my own tracks now, I'm just not good enough to cover all the sorts of music I need sometimes. Like the sorta circus-y themed stuff that you've got! I could never make stuff as cool as that x3 not unless I somehow managed to find a loops pack that was circus-themed, haha. And I really suck at making happier, more upbeat tunes >.<” It's like last year with Limbo Line, I did my best to try and make a full soundtrack, but there were moments I couldn't possibly fill, like the theme for Niard, haha. So I kept some of the royalty-free stuff in there to fill in those spots where I faltered x3
"Sometimes I wind up coming out with new scenes entirely inspired by the tracks that otherwise wouldn't have existed!" --> OMG SAME!!! Lololol I feel like our processes feel incredibly similar!! This just made me smile so much!
And hahaha oh gosh I had a rather similar type of journey, starting out with sites like incompetech for my first game. I actually hadn't thought to try DLsite for music! (I only used it for the first time to get some BGs for this game but never for anything else.) Once I found DOVA was when my music world really opened up though LOL Those exact type of tracks with like a kinda circus-y / spoopy Halloween vibe are my absolute fav, so I just gravitated to composers that had a bunch of stuff like that (and from there followed them to Audiostock). That's honestly so impressive though that you actually make a good deal of your own music! I couldn't even imagine doing that by itself let alone on top of all the other dev work that goes into a game! Heheh you shouldn't feel bad at still using the occasional royalty-free song even amongst your own though!! It's already so amazing what you're doing!! (Also The Graveyard Shift is next on my list to play and I'm really excited hehehe 🤭💕)
Gods. Fucking. Damn it. Do you ever miss? Can't you ever release a flop for once?!
Just kidding, obviously. Our Fantastic Wonderland scored a natural 20 and dealt a massive critical hit to my brain. Not like I expected otherwise, considering what the main game did to me. I absolutely loved the experience. It's a good old DnD-esque adventure on the surface and a mine full of little gems for main game's fans (me, I mean myself by this). The parallels! The usage of monsters we know from main game! The humor! The gasps I made when I realized how eerily similar some things are! The blonde fencer guy representation, I mean, what? (Yes, I did get on Ghent route, yes, I cried at the end of it, why do you ask?)
Would I recommend it to someone who didn't play the main game? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to someone who did? No, because they probably downloaded it as fast as it appeared anyway, so I'd look silly. 13/13.
By the way, if you're like me and play 32bit versions: the game runs really smooth regardless. The only trouble you might encounter would be at the visual glitch effect parts, but even then, consider it a feature, not a bug.
HELP DKJKDKFJADFA WHY DO YOUR COMMENTS ALWAYS CUT TO THE CORE ME 🤣💦 This cracked me up so much!!!
THANK YOU AHHHHH!! Thank you so much for playing and I'm SOOOO happy you enjoyed it! That's honestly exactly what I was hoping—that it would still be entertaining and standalone enough for anyone to enjoy, but also have the little cameos and fun tie-backs to the main game, so I'm very happy to hear that! (and also that you caught a lot of the little things heheh) 🤭 Also I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed Ghent's ending dalkfjasldkfjasdfa his ending is quite near and dear to my heart... 🥺💕
HHHHHH thank you so so much for this hilarious comment and for playing and sharing your thoughts!! It really means so much!!
(ALSO YES, THAT'S THE EXACT EFFECT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WITH THE SLIGHT HICCUP IN THE 32-BIT VERSION. I needed to use an older version of the glitch code that doesn't run quite as smoothly because the newer version didn't work in Ren'Py 7... 💦)
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Your game gets glitched together with the glitch effect. It actually took me some time to realize that's not how it was supposed to work :')
the way you tied this into Our Wonderland brings up so much questions but Our Fantastic Wonderland is canon to Our Wonderland it seems based on the ending scene alone and man that blows my mind i never saw that coming!!
loved seeing the main crew again and out in action,,, i missed them and their witty, snark-filled banter,,, and some of the lines definitely made me laugh out loud (that poking fun at itself for "not being a visual novel" and the little quips about deadlines felt like you personifying your own troubles with making a game in a month)!! I especially liked the line about shounen anime and the programming riddles felt so fitting for Ghent/Ignatius/Gidget/Iggy's characters that I couldn't help but feel like it was a nice personal touch for the riddles to be stuff about coding (and then Orlam and Genzou just being like "oh, well, okay, that happened" was amusing too)
I think the glitching aspect in the midway point was also very curious too,,, like,,, were they really even playing a DND-esque game together at all?? Were they sharing a connected lucid dream?? it really felt as if they were all gathered around playing a game although a few factors beforehand did feel fishy (like how Hunar magically handwaved the sky to red and how they could all see that change at once...I may not know anything about DND but something about how they witnessed that change without Hunar speaking in depth of it and feeling chilled by the transformation really adds to the reveal of them glitching out of existence later in hindight :P). There's also the fact that underneath Iggy's cloak it looks like normal modern attire (a tshirt and shorts i believe??) which only seems to heighten the suspicion that either Iggy was lazy in designing his character's outfit or, more likely, he was transported to a ""lucid dream"" w/ a cleric cloak on to fit the theme lol??
Also!!! The ATL!! I swear you're just a master at using it to it's most efficient point because everything about it works so well in partnering with the narrative!! From the black bar screen "fade ins", to the rabbit guards attacking, to the way you zordered the group so there's a distinct feel of them walking side by side at times, to the little motions that the sprites definitely help capture such as Iggy falling into the arms of his loved one or how Jerry's face zooms into the camera as a kind of small jumpscare (that was really creepy i gotta say!!)).
also rip to the magic potato and Jerry, they never quite fulfilled their purposes did they :') maybe magic potato will somehow come back to give Iggy happiness in arc 5 of Our Wonderland >o<
(also i realized while typing this i haven't followed you on here already and that is a mistake i have finally rectified haha)
TBH WHEN I STARTED WRITING IT I ONLY HAD A VAGUE IDEA OF HOW IT WOULD WORK so I'm honestly glad it still somehow came out all right in the end LOLOL The whole final half of this game just really goes off the rails in the over-the-top ridiculousness department hahahaha
BUT THANK YOU AHHHJFLDKAFJSDLK 🥺💕 LMAO YES THOSE LINES ARE PRETTY MUCH DIRECT EVIDENCE OF MY LEVEL OF UNHINGED-NESS RISING.
"were they really even playing a DND-esque game together at all??" --> HAHAHA TBH.......... I'm not even sure myself. I will leave a lot of interpretation up to players about the details about exactly what's going on. I mostly just dove in and started writing without even working out those types of details and hoped the wild ride would be enough to carry everything through to the end. And also honestly you can consider it canon, you can consider it non-canon, you can consider it just some fun silly intermission before Arc 5... I LEAVE IT OPEN.
HHHHH THANK YOU I'm glad you liked all the animations! It gets a little out of hand and times and took me forever, but I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out in the end, so that makes me dlkafjldk to hear. I feel like this is as close as I'll ever be able to get to like... an actual animated experience with my chars LOL
I MEAN IT DID GRANT IGGY'S WISH ONCE HE FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK ADKFJALSDK but yeah it was always kinda fated from the beginning. After all, things can't really end until Arc 5 comes out 🤭
Thank you so much again for playing!!!! It really brightened my day reading this and I'm glad you got a kick out of it! 💕
Very exciting spin-off for "Our Wonderland"! I loved seeing the characters roleplay in a more relaxed fantasy adventure setting and with humorous story script. It's nice to see Hunar and Bucks too who get less screentime in the main VN, and here we can see them being the lovey-dovey couple. Ghent is really interesting to me, since he has a colder personality than the bubbly Gidget persona.
A lot of work is put into the Ren'Py programming for the visual flair, which pays off immensely. The sprite art combined with the animation is extremely charming and reminds me of "Paper Mario". There's a great amount of detail for dynamic multiple sprite variants: Iggy being held up-side down and having its own sprite for that made me laugh. Super cool to see the chopped up enemies flying. And I quite like the scene with the two layers of bunny guards lined up in the back and front row.
The choice options are great and can lead to funny situations if you pick the 'mean' option. Depending on character you favour, you get a special scene with them and cute CG in the end.
As for story developments, I won't say spoil too much, but the palace segment is the absolute highlight for me. The sudden dark mysterious atmosphere had me on my seat wondering what the final resolution will be.
I know of the LOTR movies but not super into it, but for the first time I can see the Frodo-Samwise link in Iggy-Genzou, hmmm.
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING AND FOR THIS LOVELY COMMENT DKFAJLSDFKA 💕 Heheh, I also enjoyed getting to have more with Bucks and Hunar, particularly with Bucks, as I definitely had way too much fun writing and scripting her parts. And LOL yes Ghent leans quite hard into the stubborn prince role—I think I mostly wrote him as Gidget really diving into and enjoying the role heheh 🤭 I feel like all of them have various... levels for lack of a better word in regards to how much they take to the role-playing aspect of the whole thing LOOOL
Hhhhhhh I'm glad you enjoyed all the animations and sprites!! I probably had a little bit too much fun and went a little overboard in places LOL I also benefit from the fact that my art style makes it fairly easy to whip up sprite variations, so I was able to include some of those random little fun one-off ones now and then.
OH THE PALACE you mean the part with the lights and the disappearances? I am glad ahhhhh!! I enjoyed thinking up ways to handle that part both in the writing and then the scripting when I got there as I wanted to make sure the transition from madcap ridiculousness to "shit starting to get real" actually worked, so that makes me happy to hear!! 🤣💦 Now I'm also curious as to whose ending you got hehe 🤭
AT ANY RATE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It means so much that you played and wrote up all your thoughts!! And I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!! 💕
I played it, I loved it, and I returned the Golden Egg Jewel of Happiness to the Sacred Altar (wait, no 😅).
It was really good, the humor was on point and I laughed a lot. 👌 (especially at Orlam's jokes, and his banter with Gen) (also, Iggy and Ghent's rivalry was really entertaining and I enjoyed it quite a bit) (plus, it was nice to see Bucks as her more light-hearted, energetic self, as opposed to OW)
I loved the visuals, from the new fantasy sprites to all the animations in the fight scenes that made the whole thing really dynamic and fun to watch.
💕
I played through both Gen's and Ghent's routes and now I'm kinda torn on who to root for. Gen's route was sweet and wholesome, but man, Ghent's ending made me tear up. It felt really special. 🥲 (He's also very pretty and I'm all for that 🤭)
All in all, it felt like a very fun remix of the original and I liked it a lot.
💕 (also, the page looks great 👌)
THE GOLDEN EGG I'M CHOKING. Ahhhhhhhhh thank you so much!!! It means so much that you played it and also these words are so lovely I wanna cry!! 😭💕
I'm so glad you liked the humor, especially the banter!! The vibe of this compared to OG OW let me have so much fun with their dialogue, but I always just hope it will still be entertaining to people other than me LOL And OHHHH I'm glad you liked Bucks!! The way her whole entrance scene turned out is probably one of my favorites in the game, it's just so ridiculous 🤭 I definitely had a love-hate relationship with the animations by the end—I did love working on them and directing the scenes, but MY GOD DID THEY TAKE SO LONG TO DO.
"Ghent's ending made me tear up. It felt really special." --> HELP YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY 😭 I am so glad??? I also really loved how Ghent's turned out. I loved getting to make something sweet with them for once and also I just love Ghent HNNNN DKFLAJSDLFK
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for taking the time to play the game and write up all your thoughts!!!! This was the loveliest comment! I'm really happy you enjoyed the game! 💕
This was so much FUN!!! I lost count of all the times I laughed my ass off in the first part of the game 🤣 The fact that Hunar is writing the story and all the others complaining commenting about it makes it 100 times better!!
I have to say, the programming for this game was particularly amazing!! The way all the background cinematics played, the way the sprites moved, how the screen would shake at the right times, how there would be special effects when something went flying!! Gosh it was so cool!! It made the story much more alive and immersing, as if you were watching a dark fantasy romcom movie!! 💕❤️
The art, as always, was super charming and it was so nice to see the usual Our Wonderland storybook style!! The dialogues are awesome too, I just can't get enough of these characters!! Sure, Orlam is my personal favorite, but I just love them all to bits!! It's not easy to make characters have a very distinct way of speaking, but just as in Our Wonderland, this game did yet again!! So much so in fact that, if they didn't have sprites, you'd still just KNOW who is talking based on what they're saying and HOW they're saying it 🥰
The way the story took a dark turn in the second part was so cool too! The transition from comedy to horror-thriller is really well done, you are really good with pacing!! I also really liked the way you can tell whose route you got based on who disappears last at a certain scene.
Of course, I had to go through Orlam's route first 🤣 And there were no regrets whatsoever. Jfc, flirty/teasing characters are the death of me, I have such a bias, his lines give me lots of butterflies just like Iggy. I liked that he started off as a tsundere when you try to hug him but then he's like "well, well, well, it seems you like me more than you let on, cleric". Gosh, and I'm so happy he finally got a kiss CG, it made the journey all the more worth it 😭
I still have to finish the others' routes (really looking forward to them too cause I love everyone, and I love that Gidget is Ghent!! Trans rights yay!!) but I already love this so much, it's making me more excited to play Arc 5 of Our Wonderland when it comes out.
Omg... thank you so much for playing and for this lovely comment that's as we speak rendering me into a complete and utter pile of mush 😭💕 I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!!! LOL I'm really glad the humor hit!! Most of it was just my mind going completely off the rails, so I can always only just hope that it will actually be funny to other people besides myself HAHAHA
"It made the story much more alive and immersing, as if you were watching a dark fantasy romcom movie" --> This is such high praise omg ahhhhhhh. I was really trying to go for somewhat of a cinematic effect, so this makes me super happy to hear!! Scripting was honestly one of the things that took the longest out of everything in this whole game, and some of the scenes really drove me up a wall getting them to work the way I wanted 🤣💦
"The way the story took a dark turn in the second part was so cool too!" --> I COULDN'T RESIST HAVING A SUDDEN DARK TURN. Feel like I can't create anything nowadays without letting SOMEthing horrific happen hahaha
LMAO I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED ORLAM. I definitely got a little unhinged with some of his dialogue kdjalsdkfa I am glad it had the desired effect ohoho~ 🤭 ...OH GOSH IT IS TRUE—he's the only one who hadn't had one in the main game at all up until this point. Heheh I'm happy you enjoy it 💕
GUHHHH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! Both for playing and all your words!! Reading this just melted my heart!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the game! 💕
I have downloaded OurFantasticWonderland-1.0-pc-32bit.zip. But I can't find the executable OurFantasticWonderland in /OurFantasticWonderland/lib/py2-linux-i686
Hey!! Thanks so much for downloading the game! The executable files are in the main folder when you unzip the game (not in the lib folder). There is an OurFantasticWonderland-32.exe file for Windows and an OurFantasticWonderland.sh file for Linux! I hope that helps!! 😄
Oh, gosh, I'm really sorry but I'm not actually sure then. 😥 It could be a compatibility issue with Ren'Py? That is the engine/tool I use to build the game and create the distributables. I'm not knowledged enough in actual software development to be able to fix or change anything on the engine side... Are you perhaps able to try playing the game with Wine?

You replied (0///0)
I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO MELT WIFJQIFJAJCJAKCHAJ
PLEASE DO NOT MELT DKAFJLSDKF 💕
Ok, this was actually amazing and a deserved 1st place.
HELPPPPPPPPPP THANK YOU SO MUCH????
Guhhhhh I'm really happy you enjoyed it!! Thank you for playing and for your lovely words! My heart feels so full 🥺💕
Hello Carrot I’m so sorry for the slow comment, I wanted to take the time to write you something properly detailed but my brain has not yet managed. So for now, here are the bullet points I wrote right after playing -
This was so much fun and so INCREDIBLY polished!
Fantastic action sequences!
Brilliant banter!
Great pacing in the tense moments!
Love the 4th wall asides!
So many clever uses of visuals (especially liked how you did the, hmm, self depreciating spirals??) Also really liked how you did the ‘passage of time’.
Laughed so much at the giant eye and the javascript riddles!!
Enjoyed the rabbit soldier confetti!!
Wonderful writing and so many great turns of phrase
Esp loved the sprite expressions!
Iggy is a such a sweetheart and should be protected at all costs!
And although I’m afraid I’m too fraidy about the trigger warnings in your main game, I’m so happy I got the chance to meet the characters in a slightly less ominous context, they were all wonderful and this game was such a delight!
YOOO if you read the above comment tomorrow and wonder why I didn't mention your amazing FIRST PLACE AWARD it's because I was sneaking in some last minute commenting before the awards happened and I didn't know it yet!!! (I'm now extra glad I managed to do so before it gets lost in the flood of attention hehe!!!!)
Anyway, a massive congratulations, it is so well deserved and I'm so happy that you'll get more eyes on your game from it! Hurray!!! 🎉
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I KINDA ASSUMED THAT AND GOT A BIT OF A CHUCKLE 🤣💦
Thank you so much, though, AHHHHHHHH 😭💕
DO NOT APOLOGIZE SKDJFALDKFJA I also have a lot of games left on my own list to play, as well. I was super great at the beginning, then I fell way behind 🤣💦
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE LOVELY SNIPPETS OF YOUR THOUGHTS!! These are many me laugh and smile so much!! Heheh, I love just hearing people's immediate thoughts to some of the shenanigans.
"self depreciating spirals" --> OH do you mean the part with Iggy and the The Collector?? If so dkjaflsdkjafdkajsld thank you 😭💕 That was a part that took me a bit of thinking to decide how to approach it and I wasn't even sure how the final effect would be or how it would be interpreted, so I'm really glad that you liked it!
"Iggy is a such a sweetheart and should be protected at all costs!" --> THIS IS EXTREMELY TRUE KAFLJDK 🥺💕
And HHHHHHHHNNNN NO WORRIES AT ALL. I know the main game definitely isn't for everyone! It gets rather intense and grisly at times. Thank you so much for playing this game though and I'm really so glad you could still enjoy and have fun with the chars!! That really means so much! And thank you for typing up your thoughts, this was really so sweet!!! 💕💕
Realizing I should probably post my review here as well, lol.
Genuinely, had so much with this game! The characters were all so enjoyable and fun. The writing was great all around, but especially the humor! I actually laughed out loud at several parts. I also LOVED the art! It was so lovely! 😊
It's clear you put so much time and love into the game! I really loved every part of it and look forward to following your work ❤️❤️
AWWWWWW THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT HERE, TOO!! That's so thoughtful and sweet!! (All the comments and ratings being split up between the actual game page and the jam page is so confusing and awkward, I swear dklafjsldkf)
Thank you so much again for playing and for your wonderful playthrough! I loved watching it so much!! 💕
Of course!! Yeah, I didn't even realize they were split up at first 😅
Thank you so much for making the game! 😊 It was seriously so much fun and I'm really excited to play Our Wonderland after the jam!
i feel like this is gonna have heavy made in abyss vibes for some reason
LOL it does have kinda that cute-on-the-outside dark-on-the-inside fantasy type vibe going for it hahahahaha. Though it doesn't go nearly as dark as Made in Abyss 🤣💦 (if only I could make something that masterful dkafjsldkfj)
It was good
Oh, thank you so much!!!! 🥰
Finally played it!
The cinematography was great, the animations really fun, the characters really charming, the artstyle so cute.
Now a text recreation of my first time playing it with the prominent thoughts that i remember:
--obligatory space with lot of dots to avoid spoiling people--
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
-Oh! even the warning screen is cute
-Gosh, that cinematic intro was so cool
-I don't know any of you but already like you
-Wait? this was a 'dating sim'???? 0: (i don't know how i missed it)
-they are so cute!!
-Oh no, don't listen to the intrusive thougths Ignatius!!
-That scene with the tentacle monster was so cool
-Guys!! give Ignatius a hug!!!!
-I love eyeball monsters
-Oh no! javascript trivia! quick!! open w3school!!!
-Oh wait, they are responding, cool
-I love arrays, now i'm wondering if renpy has a 'for each', need to search that.
- Is that Broken by Peritune?!!!!! (I love that song, i have been thinking in using in something for some time and listening in another context was equals weird and cool)
-Love the spinning with the axe scene
-I LOVE YOU UNHINGE BUNNY!!!!!! You go king, destroy the world or whatever!
-- space for me feeling bad for rotting to much for the evil sadistic unhinge rabbit --
-Hell yeah, the power of love and friendship
-Kinda want to get the other endings but don't want to separate the ship (got the Genzou ending).
Oh, thank you so much!!!! It means so much that you've played it! And thank you for this wonderful comment! 🥰 AND LOL YOUR COMMENTARY IS HILARIOUS hahahah I'm laughing so hard!!
"Wait? this was a 'dating sim'" --> LOLOL IT'S... I MEAN... kinda. I realized it was semi-turning into one as it went along, so I just rolled with it. It probably doesn't have the right vibe for an actual dating sim though LOL
"Is that Broken by Peritune?!!!!!" --> YES IT IS!!! Hahahaha omg I know what you mean. Every time I hear a song that I've either used before or have downloaded in my "potentials" playlist, it feels so funny. That gave me such a laugh! 🤭
And heheheh I am glad you liked 🐰 I had so much fun writing his lines (and admittedly went a little off the rails LOLOLOL)
And awwwww you got Genzou's ending heheh! I really enjoy that ship (well, I like all of them, but Genzou just holds a special place in my heart adjlfaskdfa 💕)
At any rate, thank you so much again for playing and for your hilarious words!! I got a huge kick out of them! And it means a lot!!
Omg... !!! This game is... It's like I'm not playing a vn game but I'm watching an animation?! O_O I didn't know Renpy atl can be that powerful and all of this in just one month. I am shook!
I played Our Wonderland up to chapter 2 so I decided to give it a go ^^ And OW has already been impressive with all the CGs and atl but I think this game shows just how much you improved since OW chapter 1.
Your art style is just ideal for this type of game! It seems simple enough so you can make many CGs and sprite variations but it's also detailed enough to give the characters so much personality.
It's also very impressive that your main game has already become so big that you can make a game like this (regular lenght for a VN jam) as a side project.
Orlam is my favorite ^^ He just makes me smile. I went for the other two routes first so I can save him for the end xD
I hope you will keep making many many more games even when OW is done!
OH GOSH!! This was such a sweet comment, thank you!!! 😭💕 THAT IS SUCH HIGH PRAISE. I only wish I could actually release a real animation of my chars someday, but I'm not talented enough LOL But I'm beyond happy to hear that my game can feel even anywhere close to that dkfjalsdkaf
And I'm so happy you're playing OW, as well!! LOL YES. It's been... literally almost a year now since I first created Arc 1 of OW, so I've come a long way not only in scripting but also in the art I feel hahaha (even just from this jam itself I've learned so much). Maybe someday once the whole game is finished I'll do some kind of remaster where I re-polish up some parts of it, particularly the early stuff. Thank you very much for the kind words about the art!!! I get a bit self-conscious about it sometimes so that honestly means so much 🥺💕
HEHEHEHE I AM GLAD YOU LIKE ORLAM. I like him quite a lot myself. And that is so sweet that you played through all the endings, ahhhhh. I hope you enjoyed all of them!!
Thank you again so much for playing and for this wonderful comment! It really made my day and brought a smile to my face! And also I hope you'll enjoy the later arcs of OW, as well!!! 🥰
Anything that promises shenanigans up the wazoo is bound to be brilliant, and you certainly delivered x3 This was both adorable and hilarious. I just popped it on auto, kicked back with a coffee, and had an absolute blast ^-^ There's so much going on all the time that it was like watching a whacky movie, haha.
So yeah, epic really! I don't know what else to say x3 Other than that I love everything about it :P Awesome job <3
AHHHHH HELP THANK YOU KDJFALSDKJFALK 🥺💕 Thank you for playing and I'm so glad you had a lot of fun with it (and enjoyed my ridiculous humor)!! And LOL I am glad to hear that auto works well; I've actually never tried it on auto before so I was actually wondering a bit about that hahaha 🤔
That really means so much guhhhhhhh Thank you for such a sweet and wonderful comment—it really made my day!!! 💕
That was AMAZING! I loved it!
The music was great. From what I gather from the credits, the tracks are not commissioned and were pre existing? If that's the case it's so impressive. Perfectly chosen to fit your work. The way the march worked with the effects was particularly good. And the ending credits song felt like it was made for the game. Such a great fit! Also, on the subject of audio, I noticed a few usernames in your freesound.org credits that I've used as well which made me smile. How good is freesound! :D
I love the art. Kind of high res but non-anti-aliased pixel art (not sure how to even describe it, but it's rad). Your style is so distinctive.
The movement and animation choreography was superb. So expressive. You depict so much with so little. Absolutely loved the fight scene where Bucks was dismembering all the rabbits, that was so awesome :D You've inspired me to think about trying more movement in my stuff. I feel like my approach is very static, I need to experiment more.
The story was so entertaining and genuinely funny. Your comedic timing is great. And then also genuinely heartwarming and bittersweet as well. You have awesome range. I haven't played the main game (will def have to remedy that) and I felt like maybe I was not quite understanding a few things. But all in all it still worked pretty well as a stand alone story.
The GUI was super good. Lot's of nice little unique touches. And I really liked the 'out of game' interludes. That layout was really well done and used to great effect.
All in all, fantastic stuff. really well done!
PS Double posting this from the game jam page because it REALLY annoys me that doesn't happen automatically.
OMG AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 😭💕
LOL yeah so far I've only ever worked with royalty-free music (though in the future I would LOVE to have a chance to actually work with a composer!!!). I always spend a long time just like hunting around for tracks and then living with them for a while to figure out what I feel vibes with certain scenes. I do this for the main game too and honestly there is so much good stuff out there. A lot of the music I've found and used has actually inspired stuff within my games themselves!! I really love working with music in general kdfjalsdkfa AND LMAO YES FREESOUND MY BELOVED. I've downloaded so many sounds from there it sends me emails like "we see you've downloaded a lot..." 💦
Thank you so much for all your kind words about the art and animations! I had a ton of fun acting like a director while setting up the scenes. And I'm glad you found it funny!!! I never know how well my humor will hit with people LMAO especially as it tends to be a bit off the walls. YEAH... especially towards the end I can imagine not knowing anything about the original would make things feel EVEN MORE OFF THE RAILS. But I'm at least glad you could still overall enjoy it even without knowing anything!! Thank you so much for giving it a try in spite of that!!!
Just thank you so much again! This was such a lovely and wonderful comment and it really made my day!!! It means so much!! 🥺💕
(LOL I NEVER KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE COMMENTS EITHER I wish they were connected)
Yeah it shows that the music you choose is super considered. It's just so cool you can find stuff that fits so well. I really need to try branching out from just classical :D
Haha yeah, I also have had the email from freesound... a couple of times... :D
And you're welcome. You made an awesome game. I hope a billion people play it.
Sorry, but I just have to drop in here quickly to intrude and say that it makes my heart soar to see someone else show the same enthusiasm towards finding and matching BGM tracks they've found to their games as I do xD It's something I totally nerd out about and spend waaaaay too much time doing, and when I try to explain it to my brother, he stares at me like I've just crapped on the floor or something T_T
I have had many a field day in the past on royalty-free music sites and in DLsite BGM pack sales x3 Aaaand, then I wound up falling down the rabbit hole of trying to make my own soundtracks at some point, which has become equally addictive, haha.
My point is, matching music to your game is so much damn fun!! <3 And your choices for this were absolutely perfect! ^-^
OMG KINDRED SOULS 🤝
I know exactly what you mean!! It's so much fun perusing through and living with tracks and vibing with them until you're able to find the perfect ones for different scenes! I tend to go through and just start downloading all the songs I like, then put them in a big playlist and just listen to it for days while I'm thinking about the story and scenes until the music pieces start clicking together in my head aksldfjasdkl I AM SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES THIS 💕
I have a couple sites I've used regularly, from individual composer sites to DOVA-Syndrome. Also recently I jumped to an Audiostock subscription after I saw some of my fav composers have even more tracks available there and I have not regretted it. So much great music guhhh
THANK YOU I AM GLAD YOU THINK SO 😭💕
Hehe :3
YES! I do something similar xD I get a bunch of stuff that fits the themes, and then I spend ages just absorbing it, haha. Sometimes I wind up coming out with new scenes entirely inspired by the tracks that otherwise wouldn't have existed! I stick em all on my phone and listen while I'm exercising, which often gives me even more ideas x3 and if I have to go do errands in town and stuff, I listen to em while I'm walking as well, haha. Helps me so much with writing to have something suitable to listen to as well!
I need to check some of the sites out that you mention! Cos I started out on my first game just using incompetech, then wound up getting bits and bobs cheap from DLsite, and kinda stuck with that for ages without exploring much else >.< As much as I love trying to make my own tracks now, I'm just not good enough to cover all the sorts of music I need sometimes. Like the sorta circus-y themed stuff that you've got! I could never make stuff as cool as that x3 not unless I somehow managed to find a loops pack that was circus-themed, haha. And I really suck at making happier, more upbeat tunes >.<” It's like last year with Limbo Line, I did my best to try and make a full soundtrack, but there were moments I couldn't possibly fill, like the theme for Niard, haha. So I kept some of the royalty-free stuff in there to fill in those spots where I faltered x3
"Sometimes I wind up coming out with new scenes entirely inspired by the tracks that otherwise wouldn't have existed!" --> OMG SAME!!! Lololol I feel like our processes feel incredibly similar!! This just made me smile so much!
And hahaha oh gosh I had a rather similar type of journey, starting out with sites like incompetech for my first game. I actually hadn't thought to try DLsite for music! (I only used it for the first time to get some BGs for this game but never for anything else.) Once I found DOVA was when my music world really opened up though LOL Those exact type of tracks with like a kinda circus-y / spoopy Halloween vibe are my absolute fav, so I just gravitated to composers that had a bunch of stuff like that (and from there followed them to Audiostock). That's honestly so impressive though that you actually make a good deal of your own music! I couldn't even imagine doing that by itself let alone on top of all the other dev work that goes into a game! Heheh you shouldn't feel bad at still using the occasional royalty-free song even amongst your own though!! It's already so amazing what you're doing!! (Also The Graveyard Shift is next on my list to play and I'm really excited hehehe 🤭💕)
Gods. Fucking. Damn it. Do you ever miss? Can't you ever release a flop for once?!
Just kidding, obviously. Our Fantastic Wonderland scored a natural 20 and dealt a massive critical hit to my brain. Not like I expected otherwise, considering what the main game did to me. I absolutely loved the experience. It's a good old DnD-esque adventure on the surface and a mine full of little gems for main game's fans
(me, I mean myself by this). The parallels! The usage of monsters we know from main game! The humor! The gasps I made when I realized how eerily similar some things are! The blonde fencer guy representation, I mean, what? (Yes, I did get on Ghent route, yes, I cried at the end of it, why do you ask?)Would I recommend it to someone who didn't play the main game? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to someone who did? No, because they probably downloaded it as fast as it appeared anyway, so I'd look silly. 13/13.
By the way, if you're like me and play 32bit versions: the game runs really smooth regardless. The only trouble you might encounter would be at the visual glitch effect parts, but even then, consider it a feature, not a bug.
HELP DKJKDKFJADFA WHY DO YOUR COMMENTS ALWAYS CUT TO THE CORE ME 🤣💦 This cracked me up so much!!!
THANK YOU AHHHHH!! Thank you so much for playing and I'm SOOOO happy you enjoyed it! That's honestly exactly what I was hoping—that it would still be entertaining and standalone enough for anyone to enjoy, but also have the little cameos and fun tie-backs to the main game, so I'm very happy to hear that! (and also that you caught a lot of the little things heheh) 🤭 Also I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed Ghent's ending dalkfjasldkfjasdfa his ending is quite near and dear to my heart... 🥺💕
HHHHHH thank you so so much for this hilarious comment and for playing and sharing your thoughts!! It really means so much!!
(ALSO YES, THAT'S THE EXACT EFFECT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WITH THE SLIGHT HICCUP IN THE 32-BIT VERSION. I needed to use an older version of the glitch code that doesn't run quite as smoothly because the newer version didn't work in Ren'Py 7... 💦)
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Your game gets glitched together with the glitch effect. It actually took me some time to realize that's not how it was supposed to work :')
man
MAN
the way you tied this into Our Wonderland brings up so much questions but Our Fantastic Wonderland is canon to Our Wonderland it seems based on the ending scene alone and man that blows my mind i never saw that coming!!
loved seeing the main crew again and out in action,,, i missed them and their witty, snark-filled banter,,, and some of the lines definitely made me laugh out loud (that poking fun at itself for "not being a visual novel" and the little quips about deadlines felt like you personifying your own troubles with making a game in a month)!! I especially liked the line about shounen anime and the programming riddles felt so fitting for Ghent/Ignatius/Gidget/Iggy's characters that I couldn't help but feel like it was a nice personal touch for the riddles to be stuff about coding (and then Orlam and Genzou just being like "oh, well, okay, that happened" was amusing too)
I think the glitching aspect in the midway point was also very curious too,,, like,,, were they really even playing a DND-esque game together at all?? Were they sharing a connected lucid dream?? it really felt as if they were all gathered around playing a game although a few factors beforehand did feel fishy (like how Hunar magically handwaved the sky to red and how they could all see that change at once...I may not know anything about DND but something about how they witnessed that change without Hunar speaking in depth of it and feeling chilled by the transformation really adds to the reveal of them glitching out of existence later in hindight :P). There's also the fact that underneath Iggy's cloak it looks like normal modern attire (a tshirt and shorts i believe??) which only seems to heighten the suspicion that either Iggy was lazy in designing his character's outfit or, more likely, he was transported to a ""lucid dream"" w/ a cleric cloak on to fit the theme lol??
Also!!! The ATL!! I swear you're just a master at using it to it's most efficient point because everything about it works so well in partnering with the narrative!! From the black bar screen "fade ins", to the rabbit guards attacking, to the way you zordered the group so there's a distinct feel of them walking side by side at times, to the little motions that the sprites definitely help capture such as Iggy falling into the arms of his loved one or how Jerry's face zooms into the camera as a kind of small jumpscare (that was really creepy i gotta say!!)).
also rip to the magic potato and Jerry, they never quite fulfilled their purposes did they :') maybe magic potato will somehow come back to give Iggy happiness in arc 5 of Our Wonderland >o<
(also i realized while typing this i haven't followed you on here already and that is a mistake i have finally rectified haha)
TBH WHEN I STARTED WRITING IT I ONLY HAD A VAGUE IDEA OF HOW IT WOULD WORK so I'm honestly glad it still somehow came out all right in the end LOLOL The whole final half of this game just really goes off the rails in the over-the-top ridiculousness department hahahaha
BUT THANK YOU AHHHJFLDKAFJSDLK 🥺💕 LMAO YES THOSE LINES ARE PRETTY MUCH DIRECT EVIDENCE OF MY LEVEL OF UNHINGED-NESS RISING.
"were they really even playing a DND-esque game together at all??" --> HAHAHA TBH.......... I'm not even sure myself. I will leave a lot of interpretation up to players about the details about exactly what's going on. I mostly just dove in and started writing without even working out those types of details and hoped the wild ride would be enough to carry everything through to the end. And also honestly you can consider it canon, you can consider it non-canon, you can consider it just some fun silly intermission before Arc 5... I LEAVE IT OPEN.
HHHHH THANK YOU I'm glad you liked all the animations! It gets a little out of hand and times and took me forever, but I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out in the end, so that makes me dlkafjldk to hear. I feel like this is as close as I'll ever be able to get to like... an actual animated experience with my chars LOL
I MEAN IT DID GRANT IGGY'S WISH ONCE HE FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK ADKFJALSDK but yeah it was always kinda fated from the beginning. After all, things can't really end until Arc 5 comes out 🤭
Thank you so much again for playing!!!! It really brightened my day reading this and I'm glad you got a kick out of it! 💕
Very exciting spin-off for "Our Wonderland"! I loved seeing the characters roleplay in a more relaxed fantasy adventure setting and with humorous story script. It's nice to see Hunar and Bucks too who get less screentime in the main VN, and here we can see them being the lovey-dovey couple. Ghent is really interesting to me, since he has a colder personality than the bubbly Gidget persona.
A lot of work is put into the Ren'Py programming for the visual flair, which pays off immensely. The sprite art combined with the animation is extremely charming and reminds me of "Paper Mario". There's a great amount of detail for dynamic multiple sprite variants: Iggy being held up-side down and having its own sprite for that made me laugh. Super cool to see the chopped up enemies flying. And I quite like the scene with the two layers of bunny guards lined up in the back and front row.
The choice options are great and can lead to funny situations if you pick the 'mean' option. Depending on character you favour, you get a special scene with them and cute CG in the end.
As for story developments, I won't say spoil too much, but the palace segment is the absolute highlight for me. The sudden dark mysterious atmosphere had me on my seat wondering what the final resolution will be.
I know of the LOTR movies but not super into it, but for the first time I can see the Frodo-Samwise link in Iggy-Genzou, hmmm.
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING AND FOR THIS LOVELY COMMENT DKFAJLSDFKA 💕 Heheh, I also enjoyed getting to have more with Bucks and Hunar, particularly with Bucks, as I definitely had way too much fun writing and scripting her parts. And LOL yes Ghent leans quite hard into the stubborn prince role—I think I mostly wrote him as Gidget really diving into and enjoying the role heheh 🤭 I feel like all of them have various... levels for lack of a better word in regards to how much they take to the role-playing aspect of the whole thing LOOOL
Hhhhhhh I'm glad you enjoyed all the animations and sprites!! I probably had a little bit too much fun and went a little overboard in places LOL I also benefit from the fact that my art style makes it fairly easy to whip up sprite variations, so I was able to include some of those random little fun one-off ones now and then.
OH THE PALACE you mean the part with the lights and the disappearances? I am glad ahhhhh!! I enjoyed thinking up ways to handle that part both in the writing and then the scripting when I got there as I wanted to make sure the transition from madcap ridiculousness to "shit starting to get real" actually worked, so that makes me happy to hear!! 🤣💦 Now I'm also curious as to whose ending you got hehe 🤭
AT ANY RATE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It means so much that you played and wrote up all your thoughts!! And I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!! 💕
I played it, I loved it, and I returned the
Golden EggJewel of Happiness to the Sacred Altar (wait, no 😅).It was really good, the humor was on point and I laughed a lot. 👌 (especially at Orlam's jokes, and his banter with Gen) (also, Iggy and Ghent's rivalry was really entertaining and I enjoyed it quite a bit) (plus, it was nice to see Bucks as her more light-hearted, energetic self, as opposed to OW)
I loved the visuals, from the new fantasy sprites to all the animations in the fight scenes that made the whole thing really dynamic and fun to watch. 💕
I played through both Gen's and Ghent's routes and now I'm kinda torn on who to root for. Gen's route was sweet and wholesome, but man, Ghent's ending made me tear up. It felt really special. 🥲 (He's also very pretty and I'm all for that 🤭)
All in all, it felt like a very fun remix of the original and I liked it a lot. 💕
(also, the page looks great 👌)
THE GOLDEN EGG I'M CHOKING. Ahhhhhhhhh thank you so much!!! It means so much that you played it and also these words are so lovely I wanna cry!! 😭💕
I'm so glad you liked the humor, especially the banter!! The vibe of this compared to OG OW let me have so much fun with their dialogue, but I always just hope it will still be entertaining to people other than me LOL And OHHHH I'm glad you liked Bucks!! The way her whole entrance scene turned out is probably one of my favorites in the game, it's just so ridiculous 🤭 I definitely had a love-hate relationship with the animations by the end—I did love working on them and directing the scenes, but MY GOD DID THEY TAKE SO LONG TO DO.
"Ghent's ending made me tear up. It felt really special." --> HELP YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY 😭 I am so glad??? I also really loved how Ghent's turned out. I loved getting to make something sweet with them for once and also I just love Ghent HNNNN DKFLAJSDLFK
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for taking the time to play the game and write up all your thoughts!!!! This was the loveliest comment! I'm really happy you enjoyed the game! 💕
This was so much FUN!!! I lost count of all the times I laughed my ass off in the first part of the game 🤣 The fact that Hunar is writing the story and all the others
complainingcommenting about it makes it 100 times better!!I have to say, the programming for this game was particularly amazing!! The way all the background cinematics played, the way the sprites moved, how the screen would shake at the right times, how there would be special effects when something went flying!! Gosh it was so cool!! It made the story much more alive and immersing, as if you were watching a dark fantasy romcom movie!! 💕❤️
The art, as always, was super charming and it was so nice to see the usual Our Wonderland storybook style!! The dialogues are awesome too, I just can't get enough of these characters!! Sure, Orlam is my personal favorite, but I just love them all to bits!! It's not easy to make characters have a very distinct way of speaking, but just as in Our Wonderland, this game did yet again!! So much so in fact that, if they didn't have sprites, you'd still just KNOW who is talking based on what they're saying and HOW they're saying it 🥰
The way the story took a dark turn in the second part was so cool too! The transition from comedy to horror-thriller is really well done, you are really good with pacing!! I also really liked the way you can tell whose route you got based on who disappears last at a certain scene.
Of course, I had to go through Orlam's route first 🤣 And there were no regrets whatsoever. Jfc, flirty/teasing characters are the death of me, I have such a bias, his lines give me lots of butterflies just like Iggy. I liked that he started off as a tsundere when you try to hug him but then he's like "well, well, well, it seems you like me more than you let on, cleric". Gosh, and I'm so happy he finally got a kiss CG, it made the journey all the more worth it 😭
I still have to finish the others' routes (really looking forward to them too cause I love everyone, and I love that Gidget is Ghent!! Trans rights yay!!) but I already love this so much, it's making me more excited to play Arc 5 of Our Wonderland when it comes out.
Great job, Carrot!! ❤️
HELP YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY AGAIN DKFAJSLDKF
Omg... thank you so much for playing and for this lovely comment that's as we speak rendering me into a complete and utter pile of mush 😭💕 I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!!! LOL I'm really glad the humor hit!! Most of it was just my mind going completely off the rails, so I can always only just hope that it will actually be funny to other people besides myself HAHAHA
"It made the story much more alive and immersing, as if you were watching a dark fantasy romcom movie" --> This is such high praise omg ahhhhhhh. I was really trying to go for somewhat of a cinematic effect, so this makes me super happy to hear!! Scripting was honestly one of the things that took the longest out of everything in this whole game, and some of the scenes really drove me up a wall getting them to work the way I wanted 🤣💦
"The way the story took a dark turn in the second part was so cool too!" --> I COULDN'T RESIST HAVING A SUDDEN DARK TURN. Feel like I can't create anything nowadays without letting SOMEthing horrific happen hahaha
LMAO I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED ORLAM. I definitely got a little unhinged with some of his dialogue kdjalsdkfa I am glad it had the desired effect ohoho~ 🤭 ...OH GOSH IT IS TRUE—he's the only one who hadn't had one in the main game at all up until this point. Heheh I'm happy you enjoy it 💕
GUHHHH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! Both for playing and all your words!! Reading this just melted my heart!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the game! 💕
Uwaaa its good

I have downloaded OurFantasticWonderland-1.0-pc-32bit.zip.
But I can't find the executable OurFantasticWonderland in
/OurFantasticWonderland/lib/py2-linux-i686
or
/OurFantasticWonderland/lib/py2-windows-i686
How can I play this game?
Hey!! Thanks so much for downloading the game! The executable files are in the main folder when you unzip the game (not in the lib folder). There is an OurFantasticWonderland-32.exe file for Windows and an OurFantasticWonderland.sh file for Linux! I hope that helps!! 😄
$ ./OurFantasticWonderland.sh
/home/benutzer2/Programme/Spiele/OurFantasticWonderland/lib/py2-linux-i686/OurFantasticWonderland not found.
This game may not support the linux-i686 platform.
Oh, gosh, I'm really sorry but I'm not actually sure then. 😥 It could be a compatibility issue with Ren'Py? That is the engine/tool I use to build the game and create the distributables. I'm not knowledged enough in actual software development to be able to fix or change anything on the engine side... Are you perhaps able to try playing the game with Wine?
I fucking love it so much!
DHDHDHRUR thank you so much, I'm so glad!!! 🥺💕
I'm gonna to tell my kids this was Lord of the Rings
LMAO Lord of the Rings with a slight twist hahhahahh 🤣💦
I love it!!!
Ahhhhhh thank you very much for downloading and playing!! I'm so glad you liked the game!! 🥰
