First of all, such a long and thoughtful comment means the world to me ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I am so happy to see that you enjoyed our entry so much. Hearing about your explorations of similar topics makes me absolutely want to try out your games!!! Especially the Lilac one, what an insane coincidence!!!! I met a friend through this jam, and after they played motherboard, they sent me a screenshot of all their listed concepts that they considered using for their own jam entry, and one of their notes was so similar to the plot of motherboard as well. We all apparently yearn to explore the creator x creation sci fi yuris.
The reason Lilac is an option in our game (and I probably mentioned in the afterword but I think its so cool that I'll say it again) is because purple is a colour that is dulled by green light, which Lydia's workshop is baked in, and signifies Lydias suffocating affect on Vi. Lilac is also a name I go by sometimes, and have named many of my Ocs temporarily, before changing my mind in the past. It was actually a last minute impulsive change of mine, originally the options were: Violet, Dot and Eve. However I really wanted to drive the purple vibes of Vi!
Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️ I appreciate you didn't jump to thinking we plagerized your work, I don't know how I would feel in your position, genuinely 😹 but rest assured your work is entirely new to me, and that when I feel up to reading, it's in my backlog!!! o7
