@king, This is a very well made game. I'm super impressed. Can you go over what tools or engine you are using to create this fantastic looking game? Where do you get your models? Are you creating them or using fixed ones? I'd love to create a visual novel someday also.
P.S.- As much as this has been said, please don't give up on this game and try to get out frequent updates. This game is good enough so far to be on Steam. you really should try that.
There are a lot of techniques, tools, and different software that I use to create the game; it would be hard to explain everything here. But we can chat more on Discord. Are you already on the game's server?
Thank you so much for the encouragement, it really motivates me to keep going. I don't plan on giving up on this project, and I do want to eventually release the game on Steam once it has more content.
