Shoes-shows-You (Demo)

SWON Afterclass Yaptime Notes:

***READ ONLY AFTER PLAYING THE GAME***

• I'm glad the chaotic aspect of the game came across during in-class play testing - the comparison to mischievous fairies was very on point.
• as my first ever game posted to itch, I think this isn't too bad
• despite being a more visual-oriented person, I'm kind of glad this game was only text - it helped me focus more on the narrative rather than trying to speed run the art (something I need to improve on for my art stuff in general)
  
• it's called Shoes-Shows-You instead of Shoes-Show-You (which is more grammatically correct) because while I was making the game, I kept typing the word "shoes" as "shows", so I made the title a constant reminder of that repeated mistake
• improvements I wish to implement
  • I would want to add more depth to help dilute all the loops I made in the game - I really like the concept of loops, but I probably overused it a little in this game
  • of the three colors, I wanted this game to focus 
  • i would make the ending more clear that it was an ending.  even though the ending is just an opposite version of the beginning, I realized after the play test that it isn't the most clear that it is an ending, especially since it loops to the beginning.  i want to figure out a way to make that the absolute ending while still letting it loop to the beginning to people can keep running through the different pathways, but i know that kind of goal is sort of contradictory
• shu MENTIONED!!!
  • as you may have noticed, this game series is shu-related.  who is shu?  a very cool person
    
  • shu is walking the shoes instead of walking the dogs in the game icon
  • mama yamino is an icon
