i'm blown away by your feedback--thank you very much. this was a pretty humbling first project in so many ways, definitely a challenge...but i'm planning to develop and release at least 1 more vn from the same fictional setting. what you said makes me feel a little more encouraged about that endeavor.
also wanted to mention that i've been looking forward to reading your team's entry even before it was submitted to tyvnj. the previews/wips i saw really intrigued me!
