Viewing post in Persona 5: Visual Novel comments

I want to let you know first that what you're doing right now is literally as if Akira (aka you) is dishing out plates after plates of wonderfully delicious Leblanc curry and Yusuke (aka me) is just sitting here gulping them down ravenously after starving for months sldkfjlsd

Seriously, thank you for feeding me... This was such a joy to read!!

~~Ohhh well well well,~~ ~~you're gonna love the third arcana I'm planning to put in then heheheh~~ ... Huh? What? No, no, I didn't say anything!
Aaaaanyway! I'm glad the Sun MC is not too overbearing! Mostly I'm taking reference from my upbeat and social butterfly type of friends, and I was worried that it would turn out awkward. But I'm glad it's not! Hopefully I'll be able to maintain that throughout the Sun routes! ~~I'm intent to SPOIL my bby Goro don'tchu worry about that mwahahah~~

Ahhh that's so kind of you to say. There's not that many jobs in the market for that, so competition's pretty tough, but fingers crossed! :)

I really appreciate the gesture!! I like story branchings (even the smallest dialogue changes caused by the previous decisions), and it makes me happy when people try to explore those options!

Glad the music so far fits the scene! I try my best to pick the best sounds and background music that matches the current situation, but I'll probably fail to do it here and there. Still, it's a learning process!

Sojiro is such a fun character in the original game and I really enjoyed interacting with him! Hence his cameo in here lol
Haha that line feels so fitting for him, doesn't it? Goro's partner in crime, huh? You'll love the Moon arcana route I have planned for him *wink wink*

Goro is such a fun and complicated character to write. I don't think I'll ever do him justice the way the original writers do, but I'll try my best because HE IS BEST BOY HE DESERVES LOVE ;w;
Tbh I didn't really watch the anime fully and the most I did was seeing the clips for both the subbed / dubbed versions. So mainly I'm going with my own interpretation of what kind of character Akira is based on all the canon sources I know of. It's good that he's not out of character so far! I'll say, his Moon route is kind of a slow burn and will be filled with 'aww' moments hahah

Really really glad to know the writing isn't putting people off! I'm originally used to writing fics, but putting them into a visual novel style has been a transition I'm still trying to figure out at times. Scripting all those dialogues has been so much fun so far though!

Again, thanks so so much for the lovely comments! These means a lot to me, I'll treasure it forever and re-read them whenever I feel stuck ♡ You're a legend!! ♡♡♡

Hey hey, no problem! I’m just glad you’re still around and seemed to enjoy the update aaaah you’re just too kind ♡

I get you man, conversations are tough, especially when talking to strangers. On my bad days, I find it hard to even talk to friends. "What are words?" "How do you speak without constantly backtracking and keeping your voice steady?" "I have suddenly forgotten how to construct sentences." It’s just weird lol

Yup yup, games with diverse selection of choices and great story branching based on player’s choices are really fun to play! It’s probably the reason why P5, Undertale, and DBH are really up on my 'most loved games' list haha

Hehe so happy you noticed the sounds and animations! Those were a pain to gather and code in, but I’m so happy with how they turned out ♡

lol oops you stumbled onto the bad end huh? I feel like the Goro before meeting the original protagonist is a literal ticking time bomb. He’s dealing with all his inner demons alone after all. Hopefully meeting the MC will help him :)

Yeappp! I actually considered putting in another option for ‘Akiren’ for those who can’t choose… We’ll see how it goes! I’ve always thought that his handwriting would be elegant cursives somehow, maybe it’s the whole phantom thief thing haha

I laughed outloud too when that knife option came up the first time I tested the script hahah (the route is written by another writer) That scene was just so unexpected but I can imagine Ryuji doing weird stuff like that just to prove he’s harmless… What a cutie.

Again, thank you so much for dropping by! So happy that you enjoyed the update ♡

Omg yes the guilt from that is just horrible ;w;

Detroit: Become Human! The many choices, endings, and branching stories are just 👌🏻 really cool!

I won’t lie, it’s a lot of work making the game but it’s fun at least! And the really nice & encouraging comments has been a really nice cherry on the top!

Gotta thread carefully in that route lol

I guess his character just has that overall impression! I believe people’s handwriting tells a lot about themselves, so I guess that’s why I scoured around looking for fonts and tried real hard to have the different styles selectable in the game hahah

Oh, they should be able to see the comments but since the itch.io account is originally mine, I get the notifications but they don’t. They probably check in from time to time though! It’s always nice to see people’s opinion after trying out the game :)

Ryuji is our beloved sunshine boi and he’ll get the love he deserves in the game!!
