Thanks for the feedback! It always does help me prioritize features and fixes for the next build and I'm always open to constructive criticism! I'll be honest that I agree with your critiques 100%. Being honest, the 2D pokemon style movement was added in after the fact. The visual novel was never planned on having this feature but after writing the script for so long I was really craving something that let you adventure a little bit so I added this little feature. It did feel a little bare bones to me and I've been hoping to fill that void with some optional scenes to be found within it as well as more movement options, and recently clothes to find, but it's slow going developing those sections. I have my eyes set on that in the future though!
It's wonderful to hear you're enjoying the story as much as you do! I'm super happy about that. And believe me, spelling errors are the bane of my existence. I'll be honest again, I'm pretty bad at spelling but I do like writing (strange I know) so these errors have plagued me for a long time. I've gotten help from one amazing person to proofread the novel, and I've given it a few reads myself, and I can say it's got far far less than it used to have but I won't doubt there are still lots to be found. I'm working my way through reading it again and hoping to find more help on this front too. I'm stoked you called it a professional looking game though! It means a lot to the programmer in me.
If you find any spelling errors and want to report them to me please do and I'll get them corrected ASAP! I can always be reached here (although sometimes my notifications are funky), or at ScylezStudios@gmail.com
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you had fun <3
