Hi SweetCiel! Just saw the update and wanted to say hi, lol. Hm, it seems like those traditional types of people fuss more about appearances and aging, but it is what it is. It does occasionally sound annoying to deal with though, lol.

 Clothing and everything for games and otherwise, I don't know how you artists do it! It's really shocking that people can spend so much time on shoes and clothing, but the end results really do make all the effort worth it. Everyone in Nusantara: The Winged Ones had really compelling designs, even Tamara's "normal" modern wear, and all the mains in this game do too (though I can't get over Mitra's design, lol). Whether you think the shoes or such are not the most creative or the best, I think we'll like them nonetheless and know you put as much effort into the art and game as you could.

As always, it's really nice to see updates even when I'm not completely in the loop when it comes to this Nusantara game, lol.  

As for questions, what I'm really curious about is how you create your progress screenshots with "xx/xxx pages", as well as how you tackle making dialogue natural and describing what is happening to characters and telling story events without just showing a CG and calling it a day. Though this isn't a question for the characters, I'm still interested in your answer. Hopefully, this question has not been asked yet and is not too inconvenient to answer.

As always, thanks a lot SweetCiel!

Hi, wagamama keimochi!
Yeah, it is what it is :'3 we'll just have to go with the flow and hopefully, the process will be more fun than we thought it'd be~

And yup! I put a lot of thoughts on their clothes, but sometimes, I regret putting so much detail because making the CG will be harder then x'D
*I haven't learned from my mistakes tho. Bermuda's clothes is a lot harder to draw than Winged Ones rofl* Still! You're right, they're worth it in the end and I'm glad to hear you like them ^///^

As for your questions:

- The xx/xx pages are from Microsoft Word! Just look at the small bar at the bottom, it should show you the total page you've written and at what page you are -^.^)/

- How to make a dialogue feel natural? This is... a little hard to explain, but basically, read, Read, and READ! There's no such thing as reading too much novels/fanfics! I often went to novel updates/fanfiction/archive of our own, and look for the ones with most favourites/reviews. When you enjoy reading something, it'll also enrich your grammar OuO)b

- For me, a good read is when you can't stop reading it/when a scene gives the 'right feeling', be it happiness, sadness, excitement, despair, etc/makes you smile like an idiot in the middle of the night x'D

Whenever I find a great quote/great grammar use, I'd also screenshot it and save it for later whenever I encounter a writer's block. 
I also google a lot for synonyms or antonyms--I often forget the specific word used for when we feel... blabla... or to avoid repetitive use of the same word. Example: the synonyms for feeling 'comfortable' could be 'pleasant', 'warm feeling', 'sweetness trickled into my heart', etc... you get the idea <3

When I'm programming, I often went back to 'polish' my sentences like that :'3 no matter how small, it'll enrich your story!

I hope these answers your questions! Good luck and let's work hard together! \(^.^)/
xoxo,

SweetChiel <3
