Grace is most likely the popular fan-fave 'because goth'. I'm a middle-aged goth, and let me tell you, when I was in school... us goths were NOT popular - not even the females lmao But nowadays, goth chicks are the trend, it seems. (Though never ask an AI generator to make a goth. It portrays us as satanic, white-face-paint-wearing, combat boots, and platforms for clothing. None of that is true for me or any goth I have ever met in my life in any goth night club I frequent. All just media BS. I see the occasional platform on the younger chicks new to the scene, but that's most likely because of Hot Topic's crappy clothing nowadays - which is why we don't shop there anymore lol) Especially in VNs because they have an edge to them that makes them more appealing than the other characters that tend to be too generic. Not saying your characters are generic, for the record, just saying that compared to most characters in media , the goth chicks have 'bite' and 'fire' in them. That confident and sarcastic wit that stands out amongst other character types. Me, I tend to go between favoring goths and the shy innocent nerd types in VNs. But yeah, Grace was the one that caught my eye the day you released the first version and I saw screenshots before installing.
Also, was there supposed to be info on version 0.03 in this post somewhere? You started with saying you wanted to give and update for it, then just asked for our fave charry lol Good to see it is in development still. Never mind a game taking months to get an update, just so long as it doesn't get abandoned. Would rather devs take their time and deliver something that is great, than rush or abandon it, feeling overwhelmed. :)
Edit: just noticed the rendering and writing percentage you gave for the update. My bad lol
