Thank you very much for the kind comment on our game, and the relationships involved in it! Whilst I wouldn't consider Grove to be a dating game like the many other VNs out there, we DO want to make enjoyable NPCs with burgeoning relationships, and I'm glad they're resonating with you!
We definitely intend to keep on developing them as time goes by and future updates release, so hopefully you'll stick around, and hopefully you'll continue to enjoy!
Thanks again!
