Hello! Thanks so much for playing, and liking, Tomai! I appreciate hearing from you!

It's always a little difficult to respond to messages like this, because I've been getting messages like this for a while. (So much so I had to write up a whole post about how/why I can't make a Tomai sequel, etc etc) In general, I wish folks who liked Tomai would check out my other work! Because, I have a lot of it! You're highly likely to find something you like just as much as Tomai in my huge ass archive, especially if you like my own writing style! (I recommend One-Eyed Lee and Solanaceae for Tomai likers!)
But, I understand that Tomai is a very special thing for folks. It's a special thing to me too.

So, all that in mind: there are other people who are in your exact scenario. Folks who like the game and want more, want to talk about it with others. Saying there "won't ever be any community made content" is writing off yourself *and* other people who enjoy the work, I think. I've never stopped anyone from making fan content, and in this case, fan content would be *easier* for folks to make than it would be for me to make "canon" content, for a lot of the reasons. (See: that whole post I made.)
There are absolutely people who are into Tomai, and there are absolutely people who I bet wanna make fan content, but y'all just haven't found each other yet. 🤔 If you were to tweet on an account and ask me to signal boost you to help you find other Tomai fans, I'd do it! I'm happy to help get something like that started, so don't write yourself or other fans off so soon. Work gets lots and fans well beyond it's release date because of how internet archiving and other things work, the future has ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.

A few other minor points:
-Tomai *does* have more content, like a few illustrations/etc, you just have to be a $5 Patron of mine to see it.
-Same thing goes for finding out a little bit of what happens in the future for these boys, I wrote some of it down in that post I mention.
-Tomai is well, WELL over 2 years old. It originally came out in 2017! ✨

Forgive me if I'm coming off as harsh, I promise I'm not trying to be and I'm not mad or annoyed, but mostly trying to be firm because I've done this song and dance a lot. (Eventually, I'll just have to stop replying to folks, I guess.) Thanks again for your time and comment!
