i'm glad to see you're back from hiatus, act 2 sounds like a honestly really big project and I've seen way too many devs abandon their games from that so don't try to rush things, dunno about others but I'd rather see a less buggy good quality update after suchlong time
other than that I reallyyy fuck with everything you're cooking, especially the training idea and more focus on bad ends 👀, both sound really fun and I can't wait to try itout whenever it drops
other than that, If you've ever played a game made by Wereship about maids, it's also got a training n bad ends system which I think is it's strongest suite - basically you can still interact with the world but with different dialogue changes, sprites depending on how much you're corrupted/trained before the game ends which I think is really cool, is your vision similar in any way to what I've mentioned?
Sorry if something didntmake sense english isn't my first language 👋👋
