No problem, I try to get to people who have genuine questions ^p^
1) Because I love telling my stories and showing off my characters! It makes me even happier when people enjoy what I've sincerely made.
2) Not really "someone," but various stories and games like Chrono Cross and Legend of Mana really impacted me when I was younger.
3) Get ready for a boring answer: hard work and perseverance ^p^
4) Right now I use ren'py.
