You should double-check your developer agreement in case I'm wrong, though!

An unrelated technical issue: the game takes a really long time to launch. I start the game on Steam, it shows Running, and I can see the process in the task manager, but I have to wait about seven minutes for the game window to actually open. (It was faster the second time I tried to launch it, but it still took about three minutes.) I've had issues before with TyranoBuilder games being slow to launch, but never to this extent! Seems like an optimization issue. Are other people having this problem?

I've pasted my system specs from Steam below; not sure what info out of that will be useful to you.

Ah, you weren't wrong btw! In one part of the store page admin they were saying to avoid linking to other sites in the description, so I seriously appreciate you pointing that out! ^^;;

As for the game taking a while to launch, I haven't heard of it taking that long before or received any complaints about it yet - I'll try testing it on a different PC and see if I can recreate the problem on my end ;v;

Thank you for providing your system specs tho! I don't necessarily see anything wrong with your laptop but then again I don't know that much about laptop specs haha-

Besides taking a while to load, did you have any other issues while playing?

Thanks for being so responsive! Once the game actually started, it seemed to run fine. The only issue I had was with the text; the top line of text shifts down a little bit once the animation for the bottom line starts. I don't know if I'm describing that well? I can take a video later. I'm not sure what the game's native resolution is, but if it's higher than my screen resolution, it might just be an issue with the downscaling of images and fonts not quite matching up. I've had similar text display issues when playing low resolution VNs scaled up to fullscreen on a 1080p monitor.

Actually my description was a bit off, but I think I figured out what the problem is: the click to continue icon is taller than the text, so that forces the line height to increase when the text is finished displaying. Video. NBD and not something specific to my system, I don't think.

OH LOL yeah that was just one of the quirks of the software I used to build the game, I'll look into how to take that setting off for my next one though! Thank you for the heads up regardless, I'll try adjusting the click to continue icon size next time ^^
