Hey, thanks so much for all the amazing feedback - and for taking the time to come and tell me your thoughts! Let me address all your points below :)
- I'm glad the choices are abundant and help you feel free!
- I'm super happy to hear you love all of the game's heroines, and that choosing between them all is hard. I definitely don't want it to be easy for people to allocate their time!
- Sorry to hear the cliffhanger has you waiting, but at least you can look forward to the game's full release!
- Maisy's body not matching her face? Interesting... I haven't heard that before but I will keep it in mind :)
- Ah, I can see how the choices might feel pressured or forceful. Don't worry! I understand that the choices can be scary, and some of them are and will affect the game's path permanently, but as far as "choosing" between all the girls - none of the choices yet lock anyone in or out of the running to be Syd's romantic partner. At least... not yet. Choices late into the game, the last "week", week 9, is when all those big decisions are getting made. Those chices are just to help players get ready and reall be put in Syd's shoes, as he will eventually need to make his final decisions :)
- Stuart is getting a rather expanded role as a side character, i can promise that. Grace has her own secret questline - but no dedicated hang-out. We can see about that later if the demand is there once the game is out!
- Sprites for side characters like Syd's parents, and many other parents too, would be lovely. They're something that I may have to do post-launch though. The sprite artist has moved onto another project now, so I would need to get another artist - and that can be an issue in itself too. I will keep this suggestion in mind though!
Thank you for the support, and for taking the time to tell me all your thoughts! It is all very appreciated!
I totally got what you meant, and understood everything you said too so don't worry! :)
Thanks again,
Dimitri
