Code Romantic

So I tried out the demo and this looks really interesting, but I had one question: are all the coding puzzles "click through the options" style? I'd love to have the ability to just type in the corrections myself. Is there a toggle in the full game/does the option unlock as you progress?

I see you said that you're in the works of your 2nd game. That's awesome! I was just commenting to ask if the 1st game happens on a cliffhanger that leads to the 2nd? I want to buy this but I tend to wait till a story is complete so that I can basically binge it haha.

Also wanted to say that this is seriously an AWESOME AND UNIQUE game idea. Like seriously, this will give me the motivation to learn some coding that I didn't have before when thinking about learning. You've combined two things I have an interest in (coding and visual novels) and seriously you don't understand how much I respect you for this game! Your game idea is clever and I can see it winning awards in the future. Awesome job with this!

Uuugggghhhh. This is so gooooood. I... actually purchased this on steam (am i allowed to say that lol) but i first played the free chapters frim here! and I just finished it today and gah. Love it so much. Worldbuilding, dialogue, the characters (esp the two leads) were so worth going through the challenging (for me) coding for. Even though admittedly, i struggled a bit esp the middle-end, I found the explanations still neat and quite a bit actually got retained in my brain. 

Thanks for making this game, devs! More power to you, and looking forward to the next parts! <3

Really enjoyed this, obvious labor of love. I was familiar with some of the concepts, but it was nice going over recursive functions, for loops, etc. Most educational games don't do much but paste a by-the-numbers plot over their content, but this game has actual worldbuilding, interesting locales, cute characters, and an original soundtrack. Looks like it's been about 1.5 years since the last update, but I'd totally appreciate if they were just taking their time to release the full game next instead of bits and pieces here and there. 

This was great! Just by looking at the cover, it tells you, you are going to be in a world of romance and computers. I played it and I have to say, wow. It was great, the artstyle was great and the storyline was great. Keep up the good work

I loved this. I loved programming when I had a great teacher that explained stuff quite well and made me quite excited to try making my own games! But as I progressed through my course my teachers weren't as good and to this day I still have trouble with C++ or object-oriented programming in general. This rekindled that love for typing code and built a bridge between my love for C and my fear of C++. But enough of my story - I want to talk about the game!

The gameplay is very approachable! I liked fixing small parts of the code by clicking through it to do different choices, even though I do have experience with programming. Manually typing code is a nightmare, but when I wanted to truly learn and understand the code (what is it about) there's a pretty useful and entertaining Dictionary that explains what a particular word of the code does what. It explains semicolons, curly brackets, arguments, class names (what is a class about?) to even mundane numbers! I spent a lot of time reading the code and the Dictionary and just understanding the code even though I knew the choices I made was correct at the time, and when I got it wrong because I didn't read properly, the characters talk out the problem and give further explanations about the code and what I had to do.

    The dialogue system is a little basic though, lacking even a way to view previous messages (so you're screwed if you skip over some dialogue). Also it lacks transitions which makes scene switches feel grating (like from class to cafeteria, and back). I guess it's excusable since this is made out of Unity - maybe I'm just too used to the comfort of RenPy based novels.

    The two main characters are very likeable, but the game doesn't focus too much on dialogue, which is bad for the side characters as they don't get much screentime (although they're interesting nonetheless). This is also a good thing though since it allows you to focus more on the gameplay/programming, so you're learning something, Very YourMileageMayVary!

To say the least, I definitely recommend this game if you're either looking to learn programming, or have a dessert of a romance story. But it definitely helps if you do like the story because it'll motivate you to learn! And thanks to everyone involved for such a nice game!

I love this game so much. I'm actually about to start a college course that goes over coding and this is helping me a lot with learning some the basics. I can't wait for more updates!!!!!

Hello! I love this game so much! I got to the end of the latest preview and was left longing for more. I shall wait patiently for the next update and I hope all is going well for you!

Great game! I think it is a great way to learn coding. My daughter and I both enjoyed it. Thank you for the coding lesson! :) 

Pardon me, but I have some difficulties in installing the demo : a notification " This app can't run on your PC " showed when I tried to open the game.... could you help me with some instructions for the Windows version? (^_^")

really excited to see where this game goes
