Haha, I have no experience of writing novels myself but I can imagine the toll it must take on a prodigious wordsmith such as yourself.
I played a little bit more today and I must say that the sheer depth of thought of your characters has left no small impression on me. I know a lot of people, myself partly included, come to these types of games to find something they can't in everyday life, but this one has given me something I can take back and improve it with. Those are the best kinds of stories, aren't they?
If I didn't already say it, thank you for creating this game.
Yeah... the game is about 330k words right now, which is about 5-7 novels in length, written in a bit under two years. Doing that by hand would have killed me.
I definitely think the characters are the main draw of the game. I just love trying to write people, or rather letting them write themselves. Always makes me happy to hear people are really enjoying them, or the questions raised.
I don't like writing as a way to moralize, but asking questions and leaving them unanswered, trying to make the reader consider it too, is really fun and fulfilling. Dune had that effect on me a while back!
But yeah, glad you enjoyed, and thank you once again for the kind words and enthusiasim~
