Hey Zed! Great game once again! I also wanted to ask if it was okay to post some suggests for future games in terms of gameplay and other aspects? If you arent looking for that sort of feed back, i understand! I just wanted to make sure it was okay before i posted anything. Either way, keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for clarifying!
I'll try to keep this brief. Firstly, to expand on what i said over on twitter a few days ago, I'm a big fan of your games and would love to see more of the world you've created. I think that developing longer games that will give fans a better look into your world, with more engaging gameplay and multiple story paths/endings would do well to maintain player engagement beyond the initial release period of your games. On a side note, your games are the perfect length for a let's play episode, which i think may contribute to why engagement falls off shortly after release.
Secondly, your character designs are a major draw for people, especially artists. Fan art is a HUGE driving force behind the popularity of games and other IPs. To further engage the artist community, you could occasionally use more varied body types while still keeping the appealing qualities intact (The thiccness). This could generate more fanart and artist involvement. Additionally, providing adjustable lighting options in game to allow artist a better look at the characters, or character reference sheets in your games would greatly benefit artists and fans alike. Btw, i love Debora's design, shes very cute!
Lastly, I want to encourage you not to hesitate in charging for your games. Your hard work, fun gameplay, and excellent character designs deserve compensation. Don't assume that free distribution is the only way to gain engagement. You deserve to be rewarded for your efforts.
Sorry if that was a little long winded, i want to also clarify again i absolutely LOVE your games and characters. Please keep up the great work, i look forward to your next title!
