Thanks for all the kind words, Panchamon! I knew you were looking forward to seeing this game so I'm happy it delivered!
I was very nervous about the addition of Hana and M, but I'm glad people seemed to embrace-- and even want to see more of-- that dynamic! Molly did a wonderful job with portraits, Demo made a gorgeous background and mayama did a great job bringing the mood out of the music. All our VAs did an outstanding job bringing life to each character as well, I am very proud of how they ended up sounding.
In our original vision, we would have had a few more surprises with the UI and a separate recipe book, but we sadly had to make some sacrifices due to myriad production issues. I think if we ever revisit the game, we'll definitely try to make those changes a reality.
I'm glad you enjoyed your time! Maybe there will be another chance for Hana and M to serve the denizens of Gensokyo yet.
