Thank you so much! It's good to know the story is enjoyable even without CGs. I know not having them can be a big turn off for some people.
CGs are a nice little bonus but if the story and characters are amazing enough, a game can be just as good without them! One of my new favorite games had no CGs and I love it to pieces. Your game is definitely on that level of goodness <3
Besides, you've worked hard on character sprites AND backgrounds. They themselves are beautiful enough to gaze upon, and I am excited how you are even adding small sprites for the side characters!
