i feel like any creative ends up placing themself into their work; but no one more than writers. i know that when i write, i inevitably create protagonists that resemble me in some way just because that’s the person i know best. in that regard, i really related to my heart is a city because it’s not afraid to get emotional and cut into a deeper vein. rather than have the veneer of a guise, it peels back the layers of most games and goes right for the jugular – the desire to be understood, that is. although i’m sure a lot of people resonated with this piece, i also think it’s fine if no one does. the person who needed this game to be created the most (you) has already received it! sorry if that sounds cheesy haha
i’m wishing you the best with future game projects as you step away from these types of deep, introspective ones. but i like to think those games all strike at the same sort of need anyways; the need to be liked, understood. what i do know is that you’ve struck a kindred feeling in the people who have already played this game, me included. looking forward to seeing what you’ll create as you go forward!
