Good morning. First of all, well done and thank you for this magnificent experience that you have offered us. I loved going through your game. However, as a new user to the engine you are using also in this game, I wonder how you managed to integrate the beautiful music because I don't see how to import a file, I can only use the chiptune music editor...
the bitsymuse tool is a little trickier (but very cool, i used it for HOPE and i am still here) and i haven’t tested its compatibility with the newest version of bitsy. i think the first hack of just adding a single audio file should work without any issues though.
the engine has changed a lot since i made this game… good luck!
I tried them and was disappointed to find that they didn't work. Another question: how did you create these superb sets?. Thank you for responding so quickly and congratulations again for your work 💪💪💪
huh! i tested the first option just now and it seems to work fine for me… i’m curious on how you tried it!
the first option is kind of a ‘will always work’ trick because it’s really just adding an audio file to a HTML file and that never really gets outdated (more info about that on w3schools’ website). if you don’t mind telling me how you tested it, i’d be happy to help you with it, either in this comment chain or email me (my email address is on my website).
i don’t really know what you mean by “sets”… is it the art/tiles? for most of it i’ve imported images i drew on aseprite through pixsy. i usually made a 128x128 pixel image and drew in it, then exported them as a png and used pixsy to convert them into bitsy rooms.
i still thinks it is beautifull, yes it is not really long or really a game to play like others. It is a great text based game which is more poetic with beautifull music and art. Maybe you are simply not into these stuffs
wouldnt recommend it tbh... i just tested it and everything is cropped on my phone and i have no idea if it even plays sounds/music for a lot of these.

hello! novena was made in a much older version of bitsy, so i think these tricks should still work but let me know if they don’t:

this is just gorgeous. amazing work!
thank you, it's beautiful.
lovely simple storytelling. i like the soundtrack.
I like how the ocean changed it's mind as you continued to visit, I thought it was impactful in such a short story.
Wow, it blew my mind.
So pretty, I love how the ocean changed every visit and how simple and emotional the dialogues.
Best game experience i had here in Itch.io
This is stunning, love the art and music.
beautiful atmosphere
This is a beautiful experience.
abstract and simple but beautiful
The change from "you decide to try again tomorrow" to "you promise to come back tomorrow" always gets me. great game
This is beautiful, simple, game. I imagine this must speak to many of those struggling from depression.
this is so sweet, i love it
Very sweet game, really really good.
short and very sweet and poetic!
this was so heart touching, beautiful.
Beautiful.
Honestly, this is just amazing. The art and the music are both mesmerizing... It's lovely!
I didnt think itd be that deep bro. Btw what engine did you use to make this?
it's bitsy!
Ooh thats definitely a cool engine bro, i like the simplicity. Thanks!
Beautiful, in message and art.
I have a question, how this art style is called? it seems like a pixel art but it isn't exactly the clasic
it's pixel art! maybe more specifically: 1-bit pixel art?
Yes it is. Thanks!
played for the second time! and just like before, this game is beautiful and so poetic. a very nice and lovely experience, so emotional.
meh
i still thinks it is beautifull, yes it is not really long or really a game to play like others. It is a great text based game which is more poetic with beautifull music and art. Maybe you are simply not into these stuffs
played this again and cried again. thank u.
You can actually play bisty games in mobile! You just swipe to move and tap to talk!
wouldnt recommend it tbh... i just tested it and everything is cropped on my phone and i have no idea if it even plays sounds/music for a lot of these.

I am in tears. This is so beautiful
the last line of this game gets me. also the art in this is so gorgeous omg

Such a beautiful, relaxing, chilling, reflexive and deep game!
Gongratulations!
