MAGS March “LGBTQ” (RESULT)

[WHAM]

A new month, a new batch of games! As always, play the games yourself if able, but if you just can't find the time, check out the videos and consider voting.
A fair warning to viewers, these are games on topics I am incredibly unqualified to comment on and also the chat in my livestream is not the best behaved. Also I recorded these while having some sort of flu-like disease so I sound and look marginally more awful than usual.

I was very conflicted between both the choices, as both were very cool and fun and well made, but went with:

Weaving Time by Soulstuff. While both games had excellent endings, the moment that tipped my scales very, very slightly in this game's direction was the mood meter jumping up to 200% when the partner got home. That was an inspired and charming touch!

Oh wow honestly i didnt think i was gonna get many votes since i kinda failed at the whole cohesive gameplay part. I'm really happy!

This was a very personal game as in I put a lot of experiences from friends and mine into it. It was hard to make but i wanted to participate either way.

About the feedback on the clothing and mood part

Spoiler

The main mechanic of the game is the mood of the character, it was supposed to affect more stuff like you waiting your partner with a cake or some kind of celebration if your mood was high enough in the end, but job blew up and a nation wide outage ate away most of my free time.

So the closet. It does influence what happens when you go out but you can still get a neutral outcome, its random. These were subtle on purpose as I didn't want to gamify the closet too much. I wanted it to be a way of expression because, for example, if you get a bad event because you are wearing fem clothes but you get only good ones for wearing masc clothes would send a weird message

edit: Im sure there are better ways to convey this stuff without my lack of experience

And since i didnt do a review of mandle game

Spoiler

I actually wanted more of it. I dig the idea of edutainment for adults. Particularly on uncomfortable topics. I liked what there was of it and i would like to see a game build around the idea
