Nicole 0.8.1 (demo preview)

Yes I remember that when I encountered that term I was unsure too, and asked my trusted portable proofreader AKA thesleepykitten here
I know nothing (like Jon Snow) about US slang so I have to trust people when they assure me is OK!

Okay well us East Coast folks don't use that slang haha.

I'm from the East Coast and seeing that fivever just made my eyes bug out haha.
Good to know that I wasn't going nuts and that word actually exists.

[obsessedwjpn]

Fivever is California slang. (I hear it a lot.)

Wait I am confused. I thought you were from Canada so how do you hear it a lot? lol

Yes, download the version 0.8.1 to fix that bug (I've updated the first post download link).

Just want to say I really love the preview demo so far. Normally in otome games I only like one or two of the guys but so far I am in love with all four. Can't wait for the final version in September sometime. I REALLY want to play all this game :D

[jack1974]

Thanks, and believe me I really want to get this game out!!

Hi, I wrote the character routes for Nicole, so the person you'll want to hit up for questions or concerns is me! I didn't write the first scene (I actually rewrote it but I still need to send the coded part, which I'll do right now in case you want to add it, Jack...) but everything else is fair game. Minus place descriptions, which I can also go over for the final version.

I'll start by saying that the way Nicole talks and the word choices she makes is completely intentional. Not to say she misspells things on purpose, but if she uses a funny word, it's probably on purpose. I'm open to criticism, though. If anyone honestly thinks something can be improved (and have a founded reason to do so) I'm all ears.

As another East Coaster, I've also never heard that word and wondered if it were a typo. How are you supposed to pronounce it? Fiv-ever or five-ver?

Wow, just finished the demo and I LOVED it
The characters and art are great, the music and writing... love it! Great job Sparky and the rest of the crew :3
I smirked and laughed quite a lot, I like the humour in the game. Also, Jeff is one interesting character! That scene in the lab... :O
I do love mysteries and creepy moments, the mysterious music that plays from time to time is right up my alley!

I think I'm going to preorder Nicole soon! (The bonus content version for the music.)

EDIT: Also, I love how Nicole and Ted talks. I hope you don't change a thing.
