Heh, thanks. I'm glad you've been enjoying the game ;D It's certainly high praise for this to be the best you've tried, though without knowing what else you've played I don't know exactly how flattered to be xD. I will just accept maximum flattery.
Regarding the overlapping issue, was it something like Riley's face being cut out and being layered over another image in the wrong place? If so, I know exactly why this happens, and why you weren't able to reproduce it the second time.
Also I'm glad you liked the pushup. I was pretty happy with that scene when I made it, heh.
@Atemsiel
As I mentioned, I just started going through VN's, I saw discussion of Headmaster in the comments here are started messing around with that today. It has promise, but I still think I like Stormside better at this point. The other 2 to round out my top 3 have been Lunars Chosen, and Red Sakura Mansion1&2(yes I lumped them together), they're a bit different however, and I'm not sure if that helps, but take all the flattery you'd like.
Per the overlapping issue, yes, it was her face being cut out and layered, sounds like you know about it already.
Thanks again, looking forward to seeing where the story goes!
