Thank you illustration. The text says "THANK YOU" at the top and the bottom text says "1000+ downloads!" The image features Chip (Blonde hair, blue jacket) and Viv (Dark hair, dark coat, scarf) trying to take a selfie with The Eagle by Alexander Calder when it suddenly begins to rain. "I thought there was only going to be a light drizzle today?! What's with the sudden downpour?" "Pfft. And you took ten whole minutes trying to convince me to leave the umbrella at home. Looks like the sky is on my side." "Unfair!"

Richter. He has long light brown hair, a blue headband, and he's wearing an apron and a fanny pack. The text in the image reads: Saturday, 12/14 Richter: So you , as an artist, will have no problems finding the other half of your pineapple.
Chip and Viv are sitting on a pink couch. The lights are turned off excepted for the TV screen that is being illuminated on them. Chip has blond hair, tan skin, freckles, and blue eyes. Viv has dark blue hair, lighter skin, and dark red eyes. Viv is holding a piece of pizza and Chip is holding a TV remote. The text on the image reads: Thursday, 11/28 Viv: So your sister's big meal tonight was just takeout pizza?
The image shows a text conversation between Chip and Viv. Chip has blond hair, tan skin, freckles, and blue eyes. He is standing to the right, looking at his phone and laughing(?). The text in the image reads: Friday, 11/15 Friday, November 15th Chip: Are you stopping by today? Chip: Don't forget the umbrella! :P Chip: I'm joking, it's okay if you forget it!! <3 <3 Teacher Viv: I won't forget it. Teacher Viv: And I'll be there after work.
This is a screenshot from a manga cutscene of the game. It depicts butterflies, flowers, and a heart beat monitor line surrounding a black box. Inside the black box is a single text bubble that reads, "I don't get it."

Hello, I am tryin to make renpy as manga as possible LMAO I'm so excited it works 🥹
#indievn #vndev #RitenutoVN
I'm never good at writing alt text, so I will narrate this sketchy manga as if it was fanfiction. "Hey, Viv!" Chip chirped, motioning towards his mouth as he leaned toward Viv. Sat between his lips is a lonely stick of pocky. And even without saying anything, Viv knows what he's trying to do. Viv leans back, and a slight fluster appears on his cheeks. "Um..." He starts, unsure of what to say. His reaction prompts laughter from Chip, his voice a bit muffled from the pocky stick he was holding in his mouth. However, his laughter was cut short when Viv reached out to take away the pocky dangling there.
Before Chip could get a word in, Viv reached out and gave him a kiss, right where the pocky once sat. Flustered, Chip is speechless in return. But Viv laughs, pleased by Chip's reaction. *The following was not written on the page but still fits.* "Wasn't this what you wanted?" Viv said smugly. Chip whines. "You did it wrong! The build-up is important!" "Does it really matter? The end goal is the same, right? Aren't you satisfied?" "... Yeah."
Pocky...

redo-ing map ui part 2: viv's pov
it's literally a downgrade from the original map cause I thought "omg it's a whiteboard so... the map is drawn on the whiteboard haha!" rip my hard work from a year ago
#WinterVNJam #vndev #RitenutoVN
Map Ui. Chip is painting a messy painting of the city, Roselake. Highlighted in red is a building with a pin marker on it. This will be used by the user to decide where they want to travel in the game.
redo-ing the map ui... for Ritenuto.... )-)o
I made the demo a year ago but a lot of stuff has changed and I wanna redo so many things hhhh wow i might as well be making a new game !!
