in case you missed it, i've been making a picross game for nanoreno. the story is done!!! so now you can play it :)

game summary:

CHARM STUDIES is a lo-fi picross game about young witches studying magic. you play as cassia, an air-headed girl who's currently failing charms class... luckily, senna has agreed to tutor her! the only problem is she's not very nice... can these two little witches learn from each other through the magic of puzzles?

~6k words, 1 ending, 15 puzzles. takes about an hour, longer if you're slow with the puzzles.

this game is for ALL AGES!!! finally, some family friendly content... i don't have a single cw this time :) just an all-around wholesome little game.

a couple of known issues:

  • the 15x15 grids may lag a lot (only 1 is required for the story)
  • the numbers don't gray out one by one because i haven't figured out the feature yet, i plan to add this before release, sorry!!! (i know it makes solving them a bit harder...)
  • the tutorial text is placeholder, i'll make a nicer one for the release version

ENJOY!! <3

Just finished all the puzzles! Super enjoyable time! I'm an avid picross fan haha so I took a couple notes on some of the puzzles that i found worth noting. For Lesson 3, in its current state it's actually impossible to solve without guessing even with marking since there are multiple possible answers with the hints provided. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/472901411311452171/1086455457486487642/screenshot0002.png here's a screenshot of one of the possible other answers but there's a handful of them this is just one. The easiest fix for this would probably be to mark 2 X's on a single row or column like this https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/472901411311452171/1086455526466015283/screenshot0005.png since that would eliminate all other possible answers. On the Final Lesson, the 9th column's hint gets cut off and reads incorrectly which threw me off at first. I was eventually able to figure out that the full hint wasnt being properly displayed but for a moment it had me a little lost so I figured it worth noting. The extra Broomstick puzzle seems to also have multiple answers like Lesson 3, although due to the larger size it's a bit harder for me to figure out a fix. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/472901411311452171/1086469405816402001/screenshot0007.png here's an example of one of the other potential answers for reference. I was able to kind of infer what the correct answer would be though, so it isnt as needing of a fix as Lesson 3 is. Those notes aside, it was so good omg! It's so crazy that stuff like this can even work in ren'py. Had a super fun time playing through this!

omg THANKS SO MUCH.... another playtester caught the lesson 3 issue, and i was trying to come up with a redesign that would fix it but i gave up and made the build... jhdgjk another column got cut off in the final puzzle too, and i fixed that, i cant believe there was one more!!!!!! i'll adjust again.. thank you... as for the broomstick one, that was one of the first i made so i'm not surprised it has issues! i'll mess with it some more, thank you again for pointing all of these out! and thanks for playing!!
