I see. Thank you so much for answering me question. I'm just really impressed by the direction you have taken this, as many games rarely evolve characters like this. I'm so glad that Cove won't be a direct copy of my mc. I admit I played the demo several times over just to see how different mc personalities and different interest levels affected him. =)
Gosh, I'm becoming a nerd over the small details. But my first playthrough of the demo was with this little red-head mc that is super cheerful and joking, but immediately latches on to Cove in the way a little kid just immediately decides someone is their best friend forever and is going to protect them. And now that's like my canon. xD
Only other thing is it is a little sad that they share the same interest levels. So you can't have mc secretly crush on an oblivious Cove who still sees them only as a friend.
