No, it isn't dropped! My last devlog was in september (check it out if you haven't read the short stories yet!) and since 2024 did just start, I have only been quiet on here for 3-4 months LOL.
Chapter 3 will be coming in February. 😉
Hey! Thank you for giving me your opinion. I want to say that even if you feel as if your opinion is in the minority, I think it's good that you express it! It also allows me to engage in a conversation about why I did this and that in the story which is good.
My thought process while writing chapter 2, which is what I think is the main part where your complaints rise from, was that MC is still in the process of grieving. Yes, it's been 6 years since the death of their family but it affects them quite deeply as it happened in their childhood.
To me, when someone is grieving it's a lot easier to point the finger towards the closest person they can blame and for this chapter that person is still Luceris and not their sister. The player will get the option to determine how they feel about their sister in the near future but for now it's so much easier to blame the king.
And due to their grief they are merely going through the motions of the life they were thrown into and not quite living or trying to live and understand the world around them.
About the part with the prince, I don't think I wrote it in a way that acts as if Luceris and Helios are equally as guilty. Just like Helios maintains his distance with MC, they do as well but I suppose it could come off like that.
Of course this is just what I think and since I'm the author my opinions are the base of everything but you can have your own opinions too and they are perfectly valid.
I will be adding more personality choices to the current demo, mainly stoic/sly/manipulative kind. If you have any suggestions, let me know!
Once again, thank you and I hope this helps you understand where I'm coming from. 💗
Thank you so much! 💗
I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out since I'm planning on adding more content to the current demo.
Since chapter 3 has another timeskip to when MC is 18-20, I decided on adding playable short stories that are set before it mainly because I want MC's relationships with the others to have more substance.
I want to include options for MC to have a childhood crush on either Hunter or Fadiya. Due to the timeskips it would feel rather out of nowhere if I didn't include some content in between the timeskips.
This is so sweet. Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience playing my IF! Your anticipation and attention mean the world to me. Your support is invaluable, and I'll strive to polish and enhance the experience even further. Thank you again for believing in the story I'm striving to tell. 💗
