WAHHHHH, please keep up the good work!!!!!! (∩´∀`∩)💕 You are so close to finishing, sending you strength and good vibes to complete the game! You can do it!!!!!
It is a good idea, I think this is a good way to let the players partake into the development of the game. ^^ As far as im aware...you can put references to some games you like, only if you'd like to. I've seen a lot of games on here that add characters from other games into theirs and ive seen the creators love that but it's okay! If you are unsure about that, it would be better if you didn't, you decide. 💯
(I LOVE the one in the right..)
1. Yes! Actually, the game is already perfect without having to chose pronouns but I believe that some people prefer to choose their own pronouns for a better immersion into the game. Personally? I think is a great option to add into the game, everyone loves being able to decide little things like that when playing games, especially in visual novels.
2. About the music...not at all, the music was okay when I played the demo! I think adding music is a important thing when making a game. ^^ Without it, feels weird...It makes every scene on the game different. Music has a great impact in any type of scene.
3. The number of choices was okay! They were enough, I liked the fact that taking certain choices made more appear. I think adding more than two choices is great when any of those choices do make an impact in the game, it doesn't make much sense if they don't (at least to me) unless they are like...choice questions. It was enough with the choices I had in hand but I won't be opposed if you wanted to add more! I think it would be great to add more choices but only if they do make an impact in the game, i love customizing and all that stuff but it doesn't make much sense to me if they end up lacking importance.
About adding a character for the festival... I have several ideas, maybe a character who has a sickly look and wears really colorful and flashy clothes! The game itself has a lot of these characters in it but most of them have...a dark look in them 🤔 I loved Tiller's design so id love to see more characters with masks. Maybe you should add one who wears a gas mask and clothes that show their skin just to look at their arms and legs, maybe add tattoos in the places where you can appreciate their skin. ^^
A character that wears a dress and has a shaved head, maybe? Someone who wears a suit and has really long hair? OH, yes, what about a character that has a lot of body modifications and wears lolita fashion? I hope this suffices... If you need help with anything related to the game don't be afraid to ask! Thank you for letting us help you!!!! This was so fun◝(⑅•ᴗ•⑅)◜..°♡
