That makes me so happy to hear! 

If you feel like revisiting it again, I've got a test build for the hope/suspicion mechanics up temporarily along with a feedback form to help me polish it before a full release. All in the most recent devlog!

I'm so glad the game worked for you as well as it did! Most of what you wrote is EXACTLY what I was going for, so I'm happy it all came across!

I think I'm going to post a devlog with a link to the testing version I currently have, along with a feedback form to give thoughts about the experience and how well I'm balancing the new mechanics before I actually put it up for sale anywhere. So keep an eye out for that if you want to check it out! ☺️

This comment makes me really happy, because basically everything you mentioned is what I was going for! I'm glad it seemed to come across.

As for the suspicion/hope mechanics and the easy mode, you were right not to notice them; the version uploaded right now is still the old version from last year's NaNoRenO. The devlogs reflect the work I've put into it this month, but I haven't tested that new version yet and it still has a few placeholder events (so some days would just be like, "a thing happens, what do you do, cool it has this effect, bye" lol). So you played it as it was before I did the work this month. Maybe I should make clear that I haven't uploaded the new version in those devlogs.

But yeah, I definitely wrote the Modder as neurodivergent and non-binary, and intended the commentary on both that and immigration through the crackdown on people with cybernetics. And I put a lot of work into including little details in many scenes that acknowledge your relationships with the characters if they come up when you've established something with them, so I'm really glad that effort came through and made the scenes feel a bit different for you! And I really like your summary of the themes at play, that you don't have to save the world to make a positive change. I wanted something that felt hopeful in the small ways despite all the hopelessness going on around you, you know? I'm glad that came through.

So yeah, the devlog changes aren't reflected in the version you played, but I'm really happy that my intent with the writing came through so well nonetheless! Thanks for the comment!

I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully the stuff I'm working on adding and refining will make it an even better experience for you!

It makes me so happy to hear that!! Writing some good polyamory is half the reason I made this lol, so I'm really glad it worked for you. I'm hoping to use a game jam this March to finally finish it up for real (more random events, hope/suspicion meters that alter pivotal story scenes and add some stakes to various choices, etc.), so I hope you'll play it again once I get that out!!

Thanks!! I'm super glad you enjoyed the characters, I was pretty happy with them myself. It makes me glad to hear you got something out of this wholesomely horny little story. ☺️

I meant to but I never did! Got super busy. I'll see if I can do it sometime soon for real this time!

Hope you enjoyed what you played!

Wouldn't hurt, if it's not too much trouble! I just borrowed a MacBook so I can test it out, and hopefully have this figured out within a couple days!

Sorry it's not working right! Does it give you a specific error message?

Aw this is so exciting! Thanks for covering it! I'm still pretty happy with this one, so seeing someone play and enjoy it made me very happy. ☺️

Alright never mind, it seems to be working now? I genuinely have no idea what I did, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth lol

I'd love to do this, but I'm getting an error saying the game has too many files? It apparently has like 1600 files in it, and Itch only allows for 1000. No idea how the game apparently has that many files, but that's what it's saying. Is there any way around that?

Okay so that took way longer than expected, but it's on Android now!

Hoping to get it working soonish! Just lots of weird little UI challenges, and I want to make sure it works well so there's not a janky android experience.

Thank you so much for playing and posting your playthrough! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
