is this a virus or is this safe
It's safe!
We understand the rightful concern of downloading a random EXE from the internet, but hopefully you can rest assured knowing we're the soul developer and maintainer of this project. We've uploaded Texty to VirusTotal here after your comment as well!
Texty aims to look and feel as close to it's source material as possible, but as a Windows application. With that said, false positives are a possibility, but no malicious code is EVER put into ANY of our projects, and safeguards are typically taken to ensure they can't be used as such.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to email us as well!
Don't worry, we totally get it! Glad we can help!
The final version of Texty aims to have many different features and start out more timid until you gain it's trust, also having some interactions and "modes" not seen in the show. Staying true to the source material is always a priority of ours, even in our own IPs, so we'll definitely be looking more into how Texty can reflect it's counterpart in the show, though we also have plans to explain plot holes in this rendition as well.
If you have any feedback any of the early access builds, feel free to email us about them! We're always looking out for the fans and hope to make ALL our projects better with your help!
