I've played this game something like 2 or 3 days ago, and I'm SO SO glad I didn't know about it earlier. The wait has been AWFUL for such a short period of time... I can't imagine the suffering if I had to wait for weeks! I'm glad to hear it should be done by friday!

I've really loved the demo a lot. I really have a soft spot for romanceable artificial beings, may they be robots, androids, AIs, dolls or whatever, so yeah... perfect game for me! And man, that android is cool! I can't wait to see how you can influence him and how the relationship will develop!

And I already see the same greatness as in Queen's Crown, about the MCs developpement! I love when a game allows you to really choose the MCs behaviour, personality and all!

Speaking of her, I have a question! Does the choice about what you were doing in the crew impact later choices? I'm really fond of the cartographer option, and I'm not planning to change that any soon, so I'd like to know. I tend to say yes because of the option that allows you to tell you know Amalthea and you could set a faster course, wich would be logical for a cartographer, but can't say for sure.

Outside of that, I loved the mood in the game. The ambient music is fitting and the background are very interesting because of the 3D render. The only thing I'm not fond of is the art style. Too "heavy" for my tastes, if that makes sense. But well, I'm not picky AND I like the character designs, so I'm not complaining!

Anyway, I've talked for long enough haha! Thank you for the demo, and can't wait for the full version!

Oh, wow, thank you... It's so great to hear that people are enjoying the demo! I was afraid it might be too short to interest anyone, so the enthusiastic response here has been a huge relief so far, haha... I just hope that the final product is worth waiting for! I've had to trim some content here and there because of time constraints, unfortunately.

Part of the content that got cut was the MC's occupation stuff. Some of it is still scattered here and there, especially in the first half of the game, so it will effect the story in small, subtle ways, but not as much as I was aiming for originally. :( I may go back and add more content in the future, when I'm not so busy with my main project, but for now, it's mostly just there to add little touches of "color" to the experience. I definitely recommend playing as a mechanic or journalist at least once, btw. Each occupation has a few dialogue options or blocks that pop up pertaining to their specific field, but the mechanic and journalist offer just a tiny bit more in terms of backstory/insight.

And yes, robolove is very much a passion of mine. Any kind of romance involving an emotionally stunted or repressed person and I am ALL over it... So we have that much in common. xD I'll try not to let you guys down!

Oh, I see! Thank you! I may try another occupation, but I want to clear the game as a cartographer first, though mechanic would have been my second choice, so I'll definitely go with that next, then.

I don't think the demo is too short, actually. Well, it IS short, but it offers a nice amount of choices so you can really see the game's mechanics, and you get to understand the characters just enough to make you interested. I've played longer demos that didn't left me as fascinated by the game simply because of the lack of choices and all.

And don't worry, I can understand that you want to focus on your main project. To be honest, Queen's Crown is one of the games I'm most excited about at the moment, so I won't complain about that haha! I think I've played the demo for that one three times by now!

Man, I don't dare play the Queen's Crown demo. Romance, adventure, influenced by my favorite old school RPGs... I think it's best for my mental health if I just forget the thing exists until I see an announcement somewhere that it's been released.

Took the words right out of my mouth (or, typing, so ... fingertips?).

Well, I've played it, and it's great, but yeah, I suggest you forget about it for now if you don't want to die, as it's far from completion XD

I totally picked mechanic at first, yes! *fist pump* It's really cool of you to reply to all of us here and answer questions. I was hoping the occupations played a part in the story as well, but I totally understand you can only do so much with the time you have. I'd be happy to keep waiting and not have anything cut, but the show must go on I suppose! I hope someday you can go back and add whatever got cut and any extras, but either way I'll be ecstatic to play the full game. I've never used this site before, so I have no idea if you pay before you dl or if it's all free, but either way I'm more than happy to pay/donate for this gem and any future content.

Haha, this will definitely be a free game, no worries on that front. Itch.io has both free and commercial games available for download here, as well as some that are pay-what-you-want... Basically, you just have to look at each game's page to know which type it is. :)

Yeah, if I wasn't already swamped with my bigger, flagship title, I would have loved to continue working on this until all the planned content was done, but unfortunately, I'm on a deadline that I have to get back to... Maybe in the future.

Thanks so much for your comments! Hope you enjoy the finished game!
