LOL I was telling a friend "I think I did an okay job hiding the 3d, but anyone who knows what koikatsu uniforms look like is gonna peg it immediately". The low resolution was a lot less challenging that I thought it would be, outside of a glitch with the web compiler that eventually got fixed. The real challenge with doing low res in renpy is basically just that you kinda have to hand tweak every menu, but I'd have to do that in any other engine too, so it wasn't too bad. Also yeah, Doric killed it, especially with how she managed to escalate the uneasy emotions as we got deeper and deeper.
Anyways, disgust is definitely the perfect emotion and I'm glad people could buy into Bao's headspace rather than just finding her gross and annoying. Thank you for such kind words! 😭
