Played ch. 2 over the weekend and - you are NOT playing around with it, are you? 🤣🔥 And I mean that in the BEST possible way -- like: Gloves are - OFF. We're IN IT, now~

Absolutely adored this second round; I can't tell you how many times I straight up slapped my laptop with glee and/or Beamed because, gosh DARNIT, I love baby MC so much (such a BAMF). Like, it's one thing to have memorable characters in general, but when I Utterly loooove who I'm playing as (or - love to hate them)? That's such an achievement and I give you all your flowers for it. Every. single. time. I hoped 'ooh - let MC be able to make this choice'; 'let her be able to be pissed off about this' -- you GAVE IT. Gave us that autonomy to really make her our own (and not this weeby woobie, 'I guess I'll just take it and pout in a corner' type). We already established she's a Stronk woman - but... she is so Human and deliciously faceted. Mmmm~ One of my fav parts was with Derek and this line: "But what does Derek know about the world?" 👈🏾👏🏾👑 There’s this Bitter, Angry thing within MC and - she’s not afraid of Letting it Out.

Kay: other notes I wrote so I wouldn't forget:

Continue to be so Impressed with the art — even seeing things in the backgrounds - like deers or birds popping in and out of the composition was such a Nice touch! 

• Absolutely ADORED the music; especially 1st song that plays at the beginning of this chapter. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous~

Love that you made regenerating Prisoner (named him Red~) a CHOICE. You could have easily wrote us into whatever Plot you pleased; so I appreciated having the ability to decide my role in his fate. ("And if he turns out to be a danger… I’ll end him." *SNAP SNAPS TO INFINITY* STHAAP - I CANNOT LOVE QUEEN MOOOAAAR 👑)

  • On the technical side: just a few typos, here and there - like words stuck together, misspelled, or a letter where punctuation should be. (You did amazingly for English not being your 1st language - more flowers 💐) That and sometimes, the sprites' ‘blink’ animation wouldn't work when they’re all on the same screen.

Lastly - please: I am BEGGING YOU: LET CLOAKED SILHOUETTE CHICK BE ROMANCEABLE 🤣 (joking, but I’m serious) I need some hotblooded mage/rebel action. 👀👀 Speaking of romance: AW SNAP - we can romance the Prisoner!! It seemed like the obvious choice - but I still think it’ll be an interesting ‘route’. I already think I know who he is given that conversation with village elder in old church..... ;)

Aahhaha, you really made me smile! Thank you so much! 

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, especially the MC! That was exactly my goal. One of the main points of Chapter 2 was precisly the feeling you had about MC's choices and reactions. That’s why the chapter is called A Crack in the Wall, because the MC had built a wall around herself, and everything used to work just fine. But now, despite her efforts, that wall is starting to crumble (Derek, the village, the Inquisition, the Prisoner...). So of course, she would experience a lot of mixed feelings about it. She’s not a hero. She’s just a girl in the woods. :D

I’m also very happy you liked the backgrounds! I had several tantrums while drawing them :D Especially the village background. I had to redraw it multiple times!

The song you liked the most is called "The Stalking Mission" by Purple Planet :)

About the regeneration... Originally, I didn’t want to give the player that choice. Precisely because of the plot. But my boyfriend used my own words against me and said: “Don’t take the choice away from players,” so I had to figure out a way to include it without breaking the story. Actually, as I’m writing this, I just came up with an even better way to handle it… Too late, ahaha! (But I’ll write it down, maybe after the whole game is finished, I can tweak a few things.)

And yes, the Cloaked Silhouette will be romancable too ;)

'And yes, the Cloaked Silhouette will be romancable too ;)' <-- say. LESS.

Overjoyed; humbled; rattling bars of enclosures. I think I mentioned previously how much I love romance and - yoooo, am I excited how THIS One will play out! Esp since I play my baby forest hermit as super Guarded/No Risks type (with a begrudgingly good heart feedin her ungrateful keeds).  Also interested why Silhouette would be attracted -- well, no. Why *wouldn't* you fall for an Awesome QUEEN? (I'm not biased, you're biased)

I think you nailed everything you were going for with this chapter; 'A Crack in the Wall' is a fab title. Not only her own wall -- but the wall of the 'perfect' world she's built hiding away from the world and trash people (#Goals). It all seems like it's falling apart, all at once and you see she realizes she can't stop it; so -- let's save as much as we can and take as many as we can down with us. I like MCs that are quite aware the Real World isn't kind and something *WILL* be lost, but dammit - "I'mma lose Well."

(Don't have tantrums over your backgrounds, lovely -- from one art keed to another. You're great at what you do. *pat pats* ❤️) Srsly: I'm so impressed you're not only writing all this, but serving awesome visuals as well - hot damn~

Props to boyfriend -- send my regards. Completely agree. I'm sure it was so much harder on you; but I can say I would have lost a Lot of enjoyment feeling railroaded into helping Prisoner for no good reason (esp given how I'm building my MC). Surprisingly, I did end up regenerating him -- but it was *MY* choice. And I liked the reasons you gave for it: To - not knowing why the heck to - 'it felt like I had to do it, bro'. Not just being a nice person for nice sake. Do whatever's best for you, but I say, if you ever come up with a better idea for something -- never feel afraid to edit your baby! We're all aware it's a work in process~ Making it the best you can is nothing but an act of love and you should be able to play in your sandbox however you want to.
