TBH, I thought I put Moriah and April as forbidden names, but I guess I was wrong. I also didn't have a name for Skizzy when I first wrote the code for it.
I may try to change it, but I think I may leave it alone. Messing with variables and assigned values is one way to destroy save files in RenPy, so I try to avoid it as much as I can 😅.
Hi! I'm not sure why your device is not letting you play the game. It's a device issue and not an issue with how the game is made. You may need to reset/restart the device and make sure there's enough memory to download the app. Best of luck!
At first I did "Daren the lion" from the infamous D.A.R.E. program in the US. But my test readers got confused since his name was too close to my lion, Darrell. So I had to find another drug-fighting mascot 😅
I currently have no plans to increase the frequency of our release schedule. Chord Progressions is (regrettably) not my full time job. If there ever comes a time when I could make it my full time job, I would release updates much more frequently. After polling my current patrons, they prefer our team to release full and satisfying builds, so that lends itself to 20-30k word updates. As of now, 2-4 new builds a year is about the rate we can achieve at this time.
If it helps, development never really stops. Build 5 is already underway in the writing and character design phase. It's a slow but steady process.
Hi! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do. Some Android devices are prone to crashing while others aren't. It is a device issue and not an issue with the way the game's developed.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Thank you for playing 💖
These songs are so great :3. You have a very lovely voice and Grayskies did an excellent job with the production of these tracks. Can't wait for the next build!
This was an incredible update. It made me feel really big feelings, and I'll leave it at that. I'm so hooked. I cannot wait for the next update.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating, seeing your writing improve from build to build has been a tremendous pleasure. Keep up the amazing work 💖😸
I've reuploaded the standard version of 0.3.4 so it will (hopefully) be listed as the latest. I don't use the itch client and don't know many people who do, so I apologize for the inconvenience.
The content creator version is an alternative version of 0.3.4. It's only slightly different, and I want to preserve any saves anyone had made. I do want it to override the base version for anyone who wants to download it.
The regular version of 0.3.4 is still available for everyone else.
I do plan on expanding our VA cast as we add more characters! I hosted open auditions last year, and I may host them in the future. Just keep your eye out!
I don't have any concrete plans for how future routes will be accessed by players. As of now, Darrell has an invisible point system and Chester is the default. All that's certain is that future routes will be accessible at different junctions than the current Darrell/Chester junction.
Thanks for the kind words. There's been a few times I've questioned whether it was a good idea to invest so much of my grief and love into Pat's design. There's been a couple of times when that vulnerability was leveraged against me, and it hurt more I could have imagined. But I'm glad I did it, and I'm glad you (and others) have enjoyed the authenticity. It means a lot 💖
This was a fantastic update :3. Each one is better than the last. Seeing your progression as a writer throughout this project has been a real treat. Great work!
