Oh, hello!!! I remember your comment 😢 I was sad to hear that you couldn't play VNs anymore, so I'm glad that you updated your laptop 🙌 (and I'm really honored that you remembered my games and took the time to come back and play them 😭) (Gah although it's too bad that your laptop was still suffering... I actually recently moved from Godot to Ren'py, mostly because of performance concerns, so hopefully Ren'py games will run better on the new laptop?)
I'm really glad that you enjoyed the game!!! I do think that this is probably one of the only kinetic (choice-less) games that I'll make but it didn't make sense to me to add choices for a game with only one canonical ending 😂 To make up for it I'm adding more endings to my current WIPs though 😂 (the last Karamu game willl have 6!)
As far as release date, I've been working on it steadily! I actually decided to wrap up all 3 games into one executable to make things convenient for people to play them all in succession! I did decide to ramp up the production value a bit for this last one, so I've been working with freelance artists for some of the assets. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for some of those assets, so I can't set a hard release date for the last game, but it probably won't be before October or so. I'm sorry for the wait 🙇♀️ (But hey, at least you'll be able to replay the first game without downloading it again! 😂)
Oh, thank you!! I actually started working with other collaborators this year so I've gotta give up my solo dev title 😂 but at a certain point I wanted to work on so many games that it would have taken me years to get them all out myself! Hopefully I can release things faster now 💪
Oh and hmm, I will say that of my released games, Kanau is the goriest/scariest 😂 so if you were okay with that, you're good! The Perfect Woman is psychological horror but very little blood, and MindMindMind is a psychological game about anxiety, but not horror. (I'm honestly still struggling with making "scary" horror games tbh 😂) I def sympathize with the feeling of having a big VN backlog (it feels like I have time to dev or play games and no time to do both 😢) but hopefully you enjoy my games if you have time to check them out! 🙌
Here's wishing that your senior year goes well 😊 and again, thank you for taking the time to come back and play Kanau, I'm really touched 🥹 I hope that the last entry is worth the wait!
