Hello,
Thank you very much for your clear and thoughtful feedback. It's very easy to understand and deeply appreciated.
Responses to your favorite design points:
1.The current game balance is honestly still in a trial-and-error phase. I’m considering adding difficulty settings in the future. Of course, harder difficulties will come with greater rewards.
2.I plan to improve the task list to make it even easier to understand going forward.
3.I'm really happy that you enjoy revisiting your favorite scenes.
4.I put a lot of care into character design.
However, since I handle all aspects of the game — programming, animation, and more — by myself, updates may be a bit slow.
Once the game earns enough to support development full-time, I hope to focus entirely on Doll Labo rather than working on it during my limited spare time. Please look forward to that.
Responses to your concerns and suggestions:
1.This is indeed a very delicate balance.
I try to minimize the UI during regular gameplay to preserve the game’s atmosphere.
That said, as you mentioned, the item UI can be a bit tricky to use, especially when being chased.
I plan to revise the UI design in the future to improve this.
2.Don’t worry — your naming is correct :)
I intentionally left out detailed explanations for the dolls.
However, I do plan to add related in-game events to help players understand more about them.
3.I will be improving the task UI so tasks are easier to understand.
4.You may have noticed there’s some space below each gallery thumbnail — I plan to use that area to display unlock conditions in a future update.
5.Great suggestion! I will add room numbers in a future update.
Adding multiple language options is a high priority for me, since my goal is for as many people as possible to enjoy this game.
However, as I am developing this game solo, it may take time to implement multilingual support.
I'm truly grateful that you found this game and gave it a try.
Your comment is very encouraging and helps motivate me to keep developing.
I plan to model and add many new costumes for the protagonist in future updates.
If you have any scenes or animations you'd like to see, feel free to leave a comment or contact me directly via DM onX (formerly Twitter).
I'm truly happy to be developing this game together with all of you.
Please continue to look forward to future updates!
