Hello, sweethearts! π I wanted to share something important with you all—Iβve decided to bring Student of Love to an end. πππΌπ When I first discovered the world of visual novels, I was amazed—it felt like stepping into something truly magical.π So, I jumped in, eager to create one myself. I played and read a few to understand what people enjoyed, and I tried to replicate that style while keeping things as simple as possible. After all, it was my first VN, and there was so much to learn. But along the way, I made a lot of mistakes—like writing obvious jokes, adding a dream scene (which everybody hated π), and creating that hotel scene with SexyMilf69 (aka Leonore) that completely killed the tension.π₯Ά On top of that, my design style evolved over time, and reworking everything took longer than expected, making it feel like I was getting nowhere—even though I was working as fast as I could.π The truth is, Iβve loved reading and writing since I was a kid—itβs probably my favorite thing in the world—but my natural style is completely different from what I forced myself to do in SOL. And the way I design now is not the same as when I first started—thankfully.π It was so hard to accept, but after countless hours of work and many sleepless nights trying to fix things, I realized that no matter how many twists I added, I couldnβt undo the core mistakes I had made early on.ππ And the reality is, the only way to sustain something long-term is if you truly love doing it.π€
So, as bittersweet as this is, I know itβs the right choice.π₯° And hereβs the exciting part—Iβm now working on a brand-new VN, one that truly feels like me!!ππ€π₯°ππ©βπ¦°πβ¨ππππ A story that excites me, that Iβm passionate about, and that I canβt wait to share with you!π I also feel deeply sorry for letting you down, especially those who supported the project from the start. π Thank you so much for your encouragement, trust, and kindness—it truly meant the world to me.ππ I wouldnβt have learned as much as I did if it werenβt for the motivation you gave me to keep going!π I used to be terrified of failure, but Iβve learned that the only way to grow is by making mistakes, embracing them, and learning from them.π And thatβs exactly what Iβm doing. I hope this new story not only excites you as much as it does me but also pulls you in so deeply that you need to keep reading and living alongside these characters!πππ₯π‘οΈπ₯΅
Sending you all the warmest, tightest hug.π€ Iβll be here, quietly working in the shadows, pouring my heart into this new and beautiful project. π¨βπ»ππ
xoxo, Sammie π
