Happy to have supported and bought Darling Duality! What a fun game, omfg. The immersion in such a short amount of time was nothing short of being on par with going to the movies on release day in a dark cinema with the best popcorn and a delicious slushie. I loved the story you told and I would love to have more of it-- even if it was a book! The idea of a character being brought into "our world" and falling in love with the MC has been done before, sure, but what makes this VN unique is Castor. He/She emphasizes they are their own person, and I love how it brought a depth to the game. I'd love another VN where we get to play the game our MC played, and get to see Castor in his/her glory before being brought into our world. I'll be sure to check out other works of yours! Thank you again for an incredible experience.
Thanks so much for supporting the game ^-^ I'm super happy to hear you enjoyed what little there is of it so far! I feel honoured you think the immersion is like that :3
I can't 100% promise there will be a full version of the game Castor/ia is from to read through, BUT, I can say that their story is far from over :3 In the update I'm currently working on, not only have I added more choices + content throughout Castor/ia's existing story segments, but I'll also be including additional story for them. So you can think of the currently available 'endings' as more like paths splitting off down different routes. I just needed a way to wrap things up so it could all work as a standalone story for the jam since I only had a month to complete something to submit :3
The next update will also add a new character, but it won't even come close to completing the project >.< I have a hell of a lot planned, haha. And I think having episodic releases is probably the only viable way to go with this project because otherwise, it would be years before I could get anything out. Having episodic updates also helps a lot with funding the voice acting because I feel like if I just tried to make the whole game in one go, people might lose interest with there being a lack of updated content, and then I'd never be able to afford to fund VA for the whole game >.<
Anyhow, I'm rambling, sorry x3 If you do end up checking out any of my other games, I hope you enjoy them just as much :D
