Unfortunately I don't know!
Tested this again and it works for me, so my guess is that there might have been a problem with the way you copied the code or files into your project? Sorry I can't be of much help!
Download the zip file, unzip it, open it. In the "game" folder, copy the script.rpy file and the "images" folder. Paste them into your own project (inside your "game" folder). From there, you can decide when the minigame appears in your game using any .rpy file. If this is too confusing for you, I recommend getting some more practice in RenPy first, maybe try finishing a short visual novel to get used to it. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment and for playing my game!
Because this was my first experience with RPG Maker, there are many things I didn't even know came off as unprofessional or unpolished (such as the aspect ratio changing, or the transfers always activating regardless of the direction the player is facing), or cliché! I appreciate all the feedback, and your gameplay being mostly focused on technical isuues has taught me a lot!
I'll keep all of your comments in mind if I ever make another game in RPG Maker : )
(And I really apologize for the bummer ending, I can confirm though, that after opening the gate the game would have ended).
Loved it! This was a great game, really impressive for being your first!
Loved the story and symbolism, loooved the palette, loved the unique menu, loved the characters. The ending was so sweet :')
I got the mini art book as well, it was interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look at this project.
Feeling super inspired! Thank you for making Red Trees!
Loved it!
The art and music made it feel so cozy, I almost felt like I was relaxing in the pot too! The way Froggy explains their feelings is very realistic and relatable. I liked the answers we could give as well! Sometimes saying "I don't know" is the most realistic thing you can say.
Overall cozy, cute, sad, and a little validating.
