i definitely figure this VN requires some background context about korean luxury culture, im glad that i knew a little bit about it going into it. i hope that in the extended VN it might be explored further as to why Callum is so desperate to feel like he needs to get what he deserves. i find those fixations and hangups of his to be a really interesting characterization.

i also appreciate being able to play a furry VN that doesnt shy away from adult themes/sex but isnt just pandering to the audience with erotic smut.

Thank you for playing❤️🔥 I'm glad you had the background context to read this with more understandings! I'm trying to incorporate explanations on luxury cultures here and there but I really don't think that's enough for some readers to get the whole picture🥲😭 Guess I'll just try harder.

And yes, I love exploring adult themes, I enjoy such 'erotic smut' content myself too actually, but I was afraid if I make something like that too I wouldn't stand out, because there's too many of them on the internet already. So I opted for more realistic one. I do enjoy writing this, but now that I'm looking at the metrics, I'm not sure if I made the right choice tho lol

ah i should definitely clarify that i have no issues with erotic content, i enjoy it too 😅 i mightve come off as a bit of a prude in my previous message, whoops. i just think the realism is definitely more thematically appropriate for your VN.

if i were you, i wouldnt worry too much about the immediate metrics for the game at all. on itch io, gaining support is a lot more slow burn and you can expect to accumulate it over the course of several years. since this game just released right before 2024, i imagine theres still lots of time for it to garner attention. just saying from my own experience, since my own itch io projects had almost no fans or anything in the first 2 years and only now is reception starting to build up to something somewhat substantial. most games tend to still recieve comments and downloads overtime years after release, after all, so you just have to be patient before your VN makes its mark on the world. hope that makes sense.

Oh it's totally fine haha. And yes I love realism! Best thing about it is that it's easy to write bcs all I have to do is just write whatever I saw and heard throughout my life😆

And I guess I'm being too impatient here I guess😅 Surely can't expect immediate growth. I'll make sure to check out your project later tomorrow! Hope it's furry themed🐺🦊
