I'm currently sitting here, trying to imagine what over a thousand people would look like in real life. It's a bit blasphemous, but the other day at church I was thinking that y'all could literally fill the entire building and STILL have people left over. Envisioning that amount of humans... it was exciting, terrifying, and really motivating all at once.
Nowadays it's so easy for me to forget how lonely it was trying to make this game at the beginning. Back during those early months the only other person I could trust was the voice in my head. I mean, who else was I supposed to talk to? I couldn't risk sharing the fact I was spending so much of my own time/effort/money on a h-game. If my friends/family found out I gave up after that it would've been a devastating blow to my ego.
Yet, that voice in my head, the same one who had pestered me for years, changed his tone. It was like for the first time in my life, my entire being agreed that this was the right choice. Instead of whispering into my ear to give up, the voice told me to grind it out. Instead of putting me down, that voice lifted me up. I know it's crazy, maybe a bit cringey, to be saying this for a porn game, but it really does feel I finally found my true calling.
But even then, I couldn't have done it alone. I want to thank the day-ones: people who joined the 💬Discord back then when the game was borderline unplayable. When Windows Defender was telling folks that the game had a virus. I recognize your names and profiles. Don't think I've forgotten about you.
I'd like to thank my secret moderators (who will remain unnamed). You guys give me the peace of mind to work on the game every day. In several ways I actually trust you guys more than I do members of my own family 😭
Of course, I'd also like to thank the members over on ⭐SubscribeStar. You guys have shown me that the work I've put in was something of worth after all. That there's a possible future in this somewhere. You are also literally the foundation that makes this entire game possible.
Last but not least, a thank-you to every one who has liked, loved, commented, reviewed, shared, downloaded, bought, and even lurked. I am grateful to you all every single day.
My last message is that - if you have anything, ANYTHING, in your life that you've been putting off for one reason or another - to take that first step. It doesn't matter if you only take the tiniest step each day. You'd be surprised how close the goalposts really are - and how fast it all adds up to reaching it. You don't have to disappear off the map for several months like I did, and even if you do, I promise this game will still be here when you get back.
I hope you have a FANTASTIC day, and I'll catch up with y'all soon.
P.S. Here's a small preview of the new minigame I'm working on.
Disclaimer - this gameplay mechanic will not ADD any difficulty in any way. The plan is that if the room is too hot or too cold, it won't increase Yuna's wakefulness any more than the game does currently. However, if you get the temperature in a good/perfect range, you get a bonus amount of credits and some bonus wakefulness decrease on Yuna.
This way only those who wish to go for that extra bit of challenge can choose to take that extra step, but those who already struggle or aren't willing can avoid it altogether. Hope that clears things up for those who are worried about the impact this will make on the game :)
