The review system on itch does let me see reviews, but it doesn't let me respond to them. Either way, almost all reviews take the form of a rating without any words attached, unfortunately, so for most reviewers, I never get to see what they liked or disliked, regardless of how many stars they leave.
I do read comments however, though sometimes quite late. I'm deep in 0.5 development at time of writing. I'm hoping to get that released for patreon/substar guys in August, but I don't know yet. Development pace varies day by day based on whatever's going on but August might be possible. If not August, September. Progress is steady and good.
I'm glad you've enjoyed what I've made so far, and hopefully that continues with with I have planned/the stuff I have in active development. I appreciate that you think I could find success in a more traditional media, though luckily for fans of what I'm making right now, Studio Hearts is exactly what I want to be making. I'm very much a "porn with a story" dev as opposed to a "story with porn" dev. (I've probably typed that exact sentence like 100 times in various places, but it's still true.)
I'm typing this while quite tired, so I have no particularly elegent way to end it, so I'll do so by misspelling the word elegant and then saying thank you for your kind words. It is time to sleep until Monday.
