Thank you very much for the inspiring words, and the giving even though you can't afford it. I am also poor, so I understand completely. I really love this game, but it's hard to go back to it sometimes amid life problems.
I was able to really work on Claudette and Bruno a while ago. Claudette is almost ready for release, while Bruno needs some scenes written. I was able to advance with Seth and I'm liking where his path is going, but so far I only have the beginning half really nailed down. There's a clear break in his character arc, the first half has him getting worse before he gets better sort of deal. So I suppose seeing the ugly side of Seth is hard to write, but I guess the "recovery" version of him won't be any easier because he's so opposed to it.
Good luck with your own venture into VNs! They're so rewarding. I felt I always wanted to write stories, but also express them through sound and images, and VNs are perfect for that.
