Of course! Absolutely lovely story and characters! I enjoyed it (I work / procrastinate from home, so I sort of have a lot of time). I also love the art style!<3

OK, IDK where those vanishing files went, but I uninstalled a second time and reinstalled it again, and it worked this time...

Like the most bizarre magic trick that my computer has performed to this day. No, I will blame Steam this time. That was a magic trick by Steam.

I am NOT asking for an encore, cause that was NOT entertaining.

Moving on, again, Congrats! (I am being sincere, my sarcasm is mostly reserved for weird glitches and clowns (I am adding magicians to the list), but since this is text, I am uncertain if my congrats would be seen as positive when I really am happy for you due to the weird technical issues on my end (no, Steam's end)...)

Oh, also, Congrats on the full-release ( don't let my questions dampen that celebration, I just probably need some kind of help...)

I'm asking this because I need to know if this is a ME issue or a Steam issue or a File issue, please answer me someone...

Uhm, is anyone else having issues with it on Steam? Like, not having the Fae Routes still? I verified the files, and it said I was missing 155 files. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, verified the files, it said it had them all, I restarted it ( I did not open an old save ), and still could not access the Fae Routes. I re-verified the files, cause Google recommended that, and it said I was missing 155 file again... is anyone else having this issue?

Also, if so ( or you just know )... how do I fix it, cause Google is not helping.

You know, this is kind of funny - just yesterday I was wondering if we would get a status update. Glad to hear from you! Love your game! <3

Actually loved it so much I bought it here and on Steam...

Congrats on the (sort of official) release date! (I say sort of official, because I know that it isn't complete yet, but that is still an impressive milestone to reach!) Looking forward to it!

I get it, I'm a writer, and I definitely use some of my darker life experiences to fuel at least the emotional moments for my characters. If I can put my mind into that state, for at least a moment to write out that scene, the better it comes out. Sometimes, I'll be writing and suddenly bawling... and my housemates will peek in and be like... "Are you okay?" Other times I have to like out loud go over conversations, which has gotten me weird looks - like... it it really that weird?... Its just, the personal experience makes it easier to relate to the moment that I'm trying to recreate.

So, I was going through the other routes, and randomly I recalled that you mentioned in this post that you weren't going to be putting a CG in at least one of the next chapters. It got me thinking, dangerous waters I will admit, but I wanted to share the thought either way. I love the art of all of Steamberry's games, from Changeling to Gilded Shadows, and now When Stars Collide. For each one the art has gotten better and better, and yet the original style still exists. However, I have always preferred story when it comes to Visual Novels and Interactive Novels (which don't usually have art anyway). A VN can consist of bad art but still be a favorite as long as the story pulls me in all the way through, however, a VN with beautiful art will be easily closed out if the story is not well written. With that said, I love the art, yes, but your STORY is just as wonderful. Do not stress yourself out with the art, or feel guilty for not offering a CG in every given opportunity. Take things the way you can, at the pace that you can, and create the game that you want. It does not need to be decorated with masterpieces at every turn. If you have the time, and the desire, and it isn't a point of stress - then go for it, put as many as you want.  That is all I wanted to say, to assure you that this game is doing wonderful, and despite the CGs being absolutely beautiful, this game would still be a top for me even if they didn't exist.

Oh man, been there, done that! It stopped happening to me a few years ago. I mean, it used to happen three times a week, but now it's only happened once this past year. Am I grateful! Which is kind of sad in retrospect, considering that it isn't complete gone... Haha, but yeah, the PANIC despite the LOGIC... Ugh. Anyway, good job, I'll probably sneak in another route in a bit... I am REALLY GOOD at procrastinating... People keep indulging me, ;-P

So, I wanted to congratulate you for your move! Hope your new place is to your liking and comfort! Also, LOVED the Damon (Andromeda Six) reference! That was PERFECTION. I haven't had enough time to play the different routes, but I am enjoying it. Also, you captured sleep paralysis so well - I used to suffer it in my early 20s, like... a lot. Even the part where, logically, you KNOW nothing is there with you during the event, you can't help but FEEL LIKE something is. Don't worry - it wasn't a trigger for me, it is something I have gotten over. Anyway, well written!

Can't wait to try it out! Love all of your games! <3 Love the art and the stories, you really know how to immerse a reader/player into a new world!
