A great game!
At the risk of looking like a dumbass, I was wondering if it would be possible to slightly tweak the save/load UI?
I only mention it because I accidentally loaded over some progress yesterday working from muscle memory of similar UIs where you can save over existing slots. User error! 😂😅 (and of course it was the one time i forgot to save to disk first oopsie) Not a huge deal, of course, but could be worth a QoL tweak, if you have the time.
Even just "Are you sure you want to load this save? Y/N" as a confirmation before loading would do a lot of heavy lifting, for me personally at least. And would presumably be easier to implement than actually changing the slot function (though IDK, I'm not a programmer lol)
Anyway! So far I've been having a lot of fun and enjoying the characters and art a lot! The writing is well-done, and overall, Forever Gold is a a super interesting game, with a lot of neat stuff going on :3 Very cool project, though I admit I don't entirely understand the use of the mismatched real world animal names. (love the trunked cat tho lol, imagine the kind of chaos cats would get up to in real life if they had a prehensile nose...!)
Quincy is a fun protagonist, in all his formal social awkwardness (tfw you get misconstrued as a rake! 😂), and I really like the clothing designs for the Southerners. Such a great variety of hairstyles too! I can tell a lot of effort and care has been put into this game, from the writing, to the art, to the UI. Great work all around!
