Aw, thank you for the kind words! This has been a lot of work, and hearing that people enjoy it is a big part of what keeps motivation up, so I really appreciate you taking the time to type it out.
I joke sometimes that the rest of the game is an excuse to engage in my passion for worldbuilding, but really I also love writing the characters and (usually, lmao) the battle system stuff, though I'm an awful coder. I worry sometimes the philosophy sounds better in my head than in text, but it's good to know it's interesting!
I'm very lucky to have worked with excellent artists/musicians, it really adds a lot to the game that I couldn't do myself!
Thank you for the well wishes too! I'm doing ok, been a busy week and not all in a good way, but I'm doing OK in general and just pushing forward. Hoping to get back to faster updates, I feel liek it's just more fun all around when I don't get stuck on a scene or two for way too long.
