Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! I very much appreciate your feedback, as it touches on something I was worried about since the start (I was gonna write a devlog about it but I suppose I could get it out now):

This is my first time writing a story from start to finish that wasn’t fanfiction or wildly inappropriate smut, so somehow, I had gotten it in my head that I *must* convey some kind of message with this story, despite ostensibly being billed as an absurd, lighthearted comedy of errors. I realized partway into writing the script that it wasn't really coming through tacitly, but by that point, a rewrite would have set me too far back to finish before the deadline, so I went with what I had. You aren't the first person to bring up the out-of-place-ness of the "Aro/ace people don't need to be questioned about their identity" theme, so for sure I'll figure out a much better (and hopefully funnier) way to handle it when I do a rewrite, now that I'm not so pressed for time. 

But regardless, as long as I got a good laugh or two out of you, I consider the game a success 🦇✨️

The classic game-jam crunch, I know it well. Though with the extra information that this is your first attempt at an non-fanfiction original work, really solid effort I must say. You probably picked up on it, but the crutch of fanfiction is the characters come pre-made, so when moving to an original work, you really have to build characters from the ground up. Same thing with having a direction that you want to take the story and making tough choices on which aspects might need to be cut or further fleshed out, especially mid-way through the drafting. Don't knock on your smut writing experience though, tap into it, especially the wildly inappropriate stuff (I loved the gag of Bryne's censored sex talk, but man if I could hear what he actually said). I agree though, I think you completed the assignment and this'll be something you'll learn from for your next project.
