That means a lot cos I'm a huuuuuge fan of bad endings in general, haha. Whether it's in visual novels, other game genres, or films and stuff, I just find them more fun than good endings x3 So much so that the very first VN I made was choc full of bad ends and you had to collect them all in order to unlock the true route xD I always try to make bad endings as fun and interesting as I can rather than just have them feel like an afterthought cos I know as a player, I get really annoyed when I find bad ends in games that are over in a few seconds and don't have a lot of point to them T_T Tbh, sometimes I worry if I've put too much effort into the bad ends in my games and not enough into the good ends, and it maybe feels unbalanced or something/not rewarding enough when you get a good end, haha. But oh well, it's all just for fun at the end of the day :D
Thanks so much for your kind and supportive words :3 It can certainly be a struggle sometimes, haha. This project in particular feels like a marathon >.< I'm never happy with how slowly things are progressing on it when I know how huge the scope is. Sometimes it feels like it's impossible to envision how the heck I'm gonna finish it to the standard that I hope to, which is why I try to work on it in little chunks so as not to get demotivated by the enormity of the task, haha. Working on other, shorter, little game jam projects really helps me to sort of slap my brain back into a more productive mode when I start drifting x3 but at the same time, I can't deny that it also massively slows down development on this project when I wind up taking entire months away from this to focus on game jam stuff >.< The problem is that even if the passion is always alive, my ability to actually be productive isn't T_T and it feels like one of those things where I can't force it even when I really want to. So it's like I have to sit around and wait for my brain to get into the right gear to actually get stuff done.
Any time I work on this or on jam projects, I wind up feeling guilty about another project of mine where I fully finished the writing years ago, but has been on hold since long before I even made DD >.< There's just never enough time to do everything, and that sucks, haha. I just hope that both projects will eventually be finished at least :3 Cheers for checking it out!
