I super appreciate the huge amount of support! As promised I added some(14) puppypaw transitions, 2 slash away transitions (as requested by a friend) and also added 100 additional abstract transitions! I'll do some more animal prints and other effects if folks have requests.

V-Day is just two days away ❤️ But why worry about real life romance when we have fiction instead? We need to help Emma score a date in Low Effort Romance! I had a late start so I'll see y'all at 12 EST

MVNA jam submission 2/2

This is now Version 3 of this idea. This one is especially for the sprites where all the different parts of the face are separated.

V3 integrates into the Interactive Director which means no loading times. Instant script edits. Speeeeeed.

New Sprite Alert!

You did not see Emma's manager in the free ver, so introducing Jun Suwabara. Emma's manager, who looks like an ice queen on the outside, but inside she's just awkward and tired.

Here she is in Low Effort Romance : Chapter Zero!
