WOAGHHHH uhh uhh THANK UYO for replying and actually understanding my ramblings. I didn't get a notification. Sorry that I only saw this now. BUT I am thrilled, looking forward to seeing chapter three! Uwaghahh, thank you for your amiable words!!!
For the past few days, I've been trying to form, build upon, and read theories from this itch page. If you're interested, you can check my replies to Me chan's comment with a single scroll!
I'm glad to see that there are 2 videos of it each on YouTube and TikTok!! Baby steps!
Anyhow, I've been having a blast reading the game files [lmaooo nonoarea.png]. I spilt snippets of it though, under my replies to Me Chan, if you'd like me to stop for the sake of privacy, or if you're not comfortable with us data mining, I'll be more than willing to take them down!
First off, no need to apologize for the lack of fan content!! We, the fans, should worry about that!!! I'm sure more will pop up over time.
If a person can clearly define a character the way you intended, that's how you know you wrote and executed your character well. You've been doing a great job after another; it's actually kind of crazy how this game is free. Thank you again for blessing us! Although I'm worried that you may overwork yourself in the future, please be sure to enjoy yourself too!
Also, I finally fully decoded those three ciphers in the intro of the game. Last time, it errored out because I stupidly fat-fingered the backspace when I was typing the first cipher in, so in full:
The lock hums my name in the dark. I swallow the hours like rust. Somewhere, a door dreams of opening.
I have a feeling that the lock part is actually "clock", it may have been another fat-fingering mistake of mine, since in the .ogg files, there was a weird c-lock.ogg file that, when played, sounded like a man humming. (I think you mentioned this in the 0.3 devlog). There's no known "lock" in the room so far, so it was kinda suspicious. There's more to this, but I don't wanna waste your time reading!
Uwaghhhh, this "scrutinizing" approach I've been doing has been giving so much reach takes, but I guess it's what makes theory crafting fun. Please don't laugh if you actually read through some of my mini theories. What I fully stand on, however, is that Myrddin is about to break a lot of hearts [ahem ahem vocaloidsarecool] with whatever plan he's cooking up. I am NOT trusting that guy, but I WILL give him a 20% coupon from my local therapist. Also, idk, I feel like The Outers aren't really the player's allies either, like both of them are kind of using the player for their own interests.
As for not trusting the false messiah, it's still a little cloudy for me, but I have a feeling that it has something to do with the etymology of Myrddin's name... That, or we're about to deal with the bible.
One last thing, I may have discovered gold in your game files. To prevent any other players from getting spoiled, a hint I can give is that: Gold for me is more hidden info of a character, and hooooly crap did I find a lot of it.
I think you were going to use those uhhh "lines" for a new update, so I'm sorry if you didn't want us to see that.
Your love for the game is clear through your devlogs. Thank you for thinking about the players, even going so far as to reply to most comments and coding little treats in the game for certain players. Have a wonderful week as well.
Warm regards,
Player
(Please... I hope you don't get a stroke trying to read this, and I hope I'm not violating any Itch etiquette lol)
