Sense of Shelf
You've just moved into a new place, and it's time to start building up your media collection. Move your stuff from the cardboard box onto your shelves in whichever fashion you'd like, then upload a picture on your laptop for all your friends to see.

I also ran into the same problem @guyingrey ran into, the bookshelf photos were a bit off. This did not stop my enjoyment at all though :) A bit of calming music would have really completed the experience I feel.
Reall well done!
The sent photograph didn't capture my collection but that's not a big deal, good job for creating that cute game :)
In real-life I organize by genre and then author's last name. Larger books on the bottom shelves. Why would someone give me shade for not doing alphabetical by title???
I did end up organizing by color (which I would never do in real life though I understand some people do...)
Anyway, I am very passionate about this subject, so I loved this game. I also encountered issues with the books being finicky:
* There's a bit of separation on the top shelf, so the books are floating
* Sometimes I clicked on the box and all it did was shake...I'm not sure if this was telling me that I had to stop to take a photo, because after I took a photo, I was able to keep removing books. Thus it was unclear to me when the game was over. After I took one of the photos, I was brought back to the Sense of Shelf title screen with nowhere else to go, which is a shame, since I would've loved to finish organizing.
* Would have loved some simple music to complete the mood, and maybe one SFX of just putting books onto the shelf as they slide into place.
Anyway, this game was enchanting! Thank you!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad to hear that people were understanding the vision!

There's always something you forget to consider... It was my first time working on screenshot system like this, and even more with only a portion of a screen, so I hadn't even considered that the pixels it would be targeting would be based on the current resolution... Thankfully, it means that the next time I work on something like this, I'll be sure to account for it.

I vastly underestimated the difficulty of dragging objects around. There was a lot of ironing things out, but it seems I still missed a couple spots, thanks for pointing these out!

Yeah, music and sound effects were something that I was very distraught we wouldn't have the time to include. Definitely think it would have enhanced the vibes we were going for. On the bright side, neither of us are musicians, so the music we made probably would have been kinda bad anyways.
@bigtex
Thank you, I was very proud of them!
@ranarh
That's a great idea! Could have the rest of the in-progress pictures show up as some sort of album in the post, too. Thanks, this'll be something we consider if we keep working on this!
@carraka
I can definitely feel the passion! Genre and author names were some methods we considered as well, but, well, 72 hours and all that. Thanks for catching some of those issues too. There are definitely some parts that could use some additional clarity, and some music and sound effects would really complete it.
Thank you everyone for playing, reviewing, and leaving a comment on our game!
