Hi Let-off!
First, let me say I really, really appreciate all you've done in order to read my game. Thank you so much.
Yes, you got it: The Neverending Story was my main source of inspiration, and even if I didn't thought at it, I must say that Lotr has deep roots in my heart and seeing all that being read in my game is something that makes me happy and grateful.
I appreciate the fact that you found the story structure in the game, I actually used a simplified "Hero's Journey" (Campbell) to structure the flow of the game.
I'll surely publish a translation when the game will be more refined: you guys gave me so much to think about and work on.
Thank you for your effort and kindness
