AAAAAAHHHHHHH, it was so endearing to read your post-mortem, Carrot!! Your little spin-off was such a delight to play, I honestly came to love your characters so SO much ever since I played Our Wonderland and it makes me so happy to know it's getting the support it deserves!!! It's such a wonderful story and you're honestly a big inspiration to me as both a gamedev and a storyteller; your stories captivate me in a way that I just can't find the words for, it's an amazing experience, I love how human your characters are with all strengths and flaws. (SERIOUSLY, I COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT OUR WONDERLAND TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHEN I FOUND IT ON ITCH, I WAS THAT HOOKED).
I'm also really glad that you're doing better in regards to your personal issue, I hope the rest of year isn't as stressful as that time and wish you all the best!!! Please take care, you matter <3
Also, can I just say... I cannot even begin to fathom how grateful (and also shocked because I feel like senpai noticed me and I'm??? IS THIS THE REAL LIFE, IS THIS JUST FANTASYYY * insert Freddy Mercury's voice *) I am to have you as a friend??? You're honestly such a sweet and kind person, I get a little teary eyed whenever I remember how much you helped me out when I was devastated about that certain issue with one of my games. I just, I don't know, I just appreciate you a whole lot and am really happy to have met you online.
Gosh, this year really did have a lot of O2A2 VNs, didn't it? I played quite a few as well and still have some I want to try out, they were certainly really good!! I have to agree with you about the community thing, it's really a lot of fun to try out everyone's games and support one another, it makes you feel like you're not alone and that you can share struggles with this big family.
As for the tutorial for an animated menu GOD YES, if you ever end up making one, I'd love to see it!!! I'm still a freaking noob at programming, can barely get the grasp of some basic stuff and if an actual programmer took a look at my code I'm sure they'd faint because of all the unnecessary extra stuff that's probably included because I don't know how to make it simpler xD So, YES PLEASE, if you ever make an animated menu tutorial I'll be sure to save it and share it around for anyone else who might need it too!
Okay, this is getting a bit long LMAO sorry aksjbfsakjbdgk, I'm just really happy for you, Carrot, I'm looking forward to Arc 5 part 2 and whatever else you've got planned for the future! I also have to play Easter at some point too. I use my MacBook for most of my stuff but I do have a notebook PC, it's just really slow so I sometimes postpone playing PC games xD I'm definitely going to play it sometime, though.
Congratulations on 6000+ browser plays and 700+ downloads!!! <3
