Well, finally I decided to submit my game, Oblivious Garden on Greenlight. Hope I can take the last bus to Steam.

Oblivious Garden is a visual novel with gothic style. Irell Reis, who was once a famous general but now teased as "Reis the Betrayer" and "Reis the Defeated" by the public, need to fulfill the order from emperor.

【Game Features】

***Beautiful gothic style character & scene design.

***Select one of the princesses you love and try to reach the good ending!

***Character voice available.

***Become a tea master in the mini-game and discover all the recipes!

***In-game dictionary and collections.

I like the artwork.

Can't really comment on anything else yet, though. Got a vote from me for the art alone, tho.

Awful music + beautiful gameart and they're barely compatible. Looks like interesting, especially for manga fans.

I voted yes since I'd like to see more VNs on Steam. HOWEVER, based on your screenshots, I can see that this game will have a ton of spelling and grammatical errors. You might want to get a native English speaker to run through the script again to fix everything up.

Thanks for the feedback, maybe I need a translator.

Translator would be slightly overdoing it. All you need is someone to fix the errors and maybe improve some sentences. There are certainly people who'd do that for free.

I'll just paste what I said in your Greenlight comments: "I'm not a big fan of VNs, but this game looks like some actual effort has been put into it, unlike hundreds of other games on Greenlight".

It looks ugly and annoying. A visual novel has no place on steam, so to hell with it, keep your boring non games to yourself on some of your guh, anime addict sites.

Visual novels are not games. Steam is a (mostly) game platform.

"Beautiful gothic style character & scene design"
From what I can see and know this is not Gothic but Lolita.

Indeed, perhaps "Victorian" is closer than "Gothic" in terms of styling too.

What language is it voiced in? You should have a sample of that in the video.

I have trouble with those video showing absolutely nothing about the game. All I know after looking at it is that there are characters in the game... yeah, that's about it.

He's non-specific about the "dubbed in Chinese" it says now on the GL page. Probably a pass for me personally then, I am pretty picky about VN's and dubbing and generally I don't like listening to people jabberon in Putonghua, especially if it's an NE erhua dialect.

I am intrigued by the art style of this game. Hopefully you do make it on sale to steam. Voted

I'm not really into manga/anime-style games, but this seems a lot more polished and well-refined than most Greenlight games.
Good work, and good luck!

It could use some polishing (art and text) but it'd definitely a real effort at a game (not like some of the other crap on greenlight), so you got my vote.

Good luck! As noted by a few others, you may want to get some additional proofreading to ensure your localization is done well. Nice artwork, and I personally like the frenetically-paced piano playing.

Voted, only advice: Put a lot of focus on the writing/translation. Most eastern games I played or either written like a teenager would or make not much sense due to translation. Have good to great writing and the game will sell.

Oh and... the volume of that video is a bit too high. Almost killed my ears with those tones :p

I won't. I'm not a big fan of VN so it's not something I'd go for.

It's got greenlit anyways so I guess there's a fanbase for this.

I'm not surprised. You could get the users of this site to greenlight anything by posting it here and creating a giveaway. Kids these days have no standards.

I think this game had other factors in its quick greenlighting than just this, otherwise Letter Quest would have gotten greenlit as well.

I wouldn't say this game looked generic exactly. (I might say that about some other steam VNs)

There weren't any cute girls in letter quest. The character designs are as generic as it gets. Just Google "moe anime"
