Thank you for your kind words, Ali ;\\\\;
I'm glad my blabbering in the bonus room was entertaining! I would have said more about the house, but it would reveal the location and that's private property now... and also I have more artworks, but not all the artists gave me explicit permission to show them in the game ;w;
(I can send the deviantart gallery link though, ssshh)
Your points are valid! I'm thinking about a way to incorporate them in the game!
Since Aidan can't have a teatime with himself (lol) I should bring them up in another way.
For the moment I can say he lived with an aunt (the Mrs Courtenay Gareth was referring to in the first scene), the fact he got sent with a reccomendation letter to work as a servant in the house was something common in the years the story is set in. At one point in developing I wanted Aidan to choose one of the paintings with Gareth and having that hung on the wall of his room, I should make this real now I think xD
As for the art, I didn't think about him trying to paint but it would be cool! He's kinda well versed in literature though, he recognizes most of the books in Gareth's library :)
"well he is sort of attractive so maybe I shouldn't be so crucial to him" <--- this makes me really happy, it's exactly what I wanted to convey about him!
Thank you again for your comment ;\\\\;
