AAAAH, thank you for your kind words, and for appreciating the little details ;W;
It makes me happy to learn that my game could serve as any kind of inspiration, since I feel the same about yours. Whenever I see your updates, I feel a rush of energy and excitement that makes me want to continue working hard on mine. Your game is also full of little details, and the new graphics are very pleasant; they give it a more unique and less "RPG Maker" feel, so I think all the effort is being very worth it. Honestly, this game has a lot of charm and potential, and I believe it's going to be popular when it releases.
One of the reasons I'm so excited is that no one else is making otome RPGs, so our games are one of a kind, aren't they? That makes me feel some sort of sisterhood feeling with yours hahahaha.
I also watched the video made by a youtuber who sounds very excited to play Stand By Me, so that should reassure you that there are passionate players eagerly waiting for it. Keep doing your best!! I will too. We'll take our games to the end goal no matter what!
