Finally, it's the satirical dating sim/game engine tutorial that nobody asked for! You play as a bright new student at CloudNovel Academy, ready to take the world by storm with your awesome game ideas. The only thing standing between you and total mastery of game mechanics is the notorious Flag cousins. They might seem intimidating at first, but soon you'll be falling in love as they help you on your journey to develop your next game.

Each route includes 4 lessons on different ways to use each flag.

Boolean:
-Choice with Long-Term Effects
-Changing Start Page
-Hidden Objects
-CG Gallery

String:
-Namable MC
-Choice of Pronouns
-Search Engine
-Password

Integer:
-Bars
-Progress Tracker
-Gacha Minigame
-Inventory

Made as an entry for Easter Jam, the primary theme is comedy.

The story is now complete, but the lessons gallery is kind of buggy. I have an idea of how I can work around some of the issues, but I'm probably not going to have a chance to try it until after the jam ends, so just... be careful, and remember that you can always reset the game from the settings screen if you get stuck.
