I just wanted to say that I really respect that you want to make a game that everyone can enjoy by catering the MC to a wider audience, but please remember not to stress yourself out trying to make everyone happy - it is literally an impossible task. Please do remember to think about yourself and your own needs too. It would be a shame if the added workload negatively affected your own enjoyment of writing your story. 

Basically just trying to offer a friendly reminder to do what's best for you. All the best and I look forward to future updates however they may be!

It wasn't supposed to be an argument. I even said they were just my personal ramblings and everyone is allowed an opinion. there was nothing to settle. I can understand that text has no emotional queues so it's easy to misinterpret someones meaning but damn it is a sad world we live in where an anxiety ridden person tries to have a casual conversation with someone and is accused of trying to start an arguement. 

There's my peace, i'll leave you be. Take care

Personally I think it should always be up to the author to dictate and decide how things are in their own stories. I trust that they have a reason for their choices and how they present their characters, world and overall theme. I find that trying to cater to what everyone wants often results in a mess and the quality suffers. 

Yes, a lot of authors of interactive fiction have jumped on the bandwagon of allowing the player to choose all of the RO's genders and some people like having that freedom, but then you are denying your characters having in-depth backgrounds. How can a character that is supposed to be a closeted gay man explain his suffering if we tell him he isn't allowed to be a man? When will we  hear the joyous story of a NB person realising that neither gender fits their identity and so they have cast off such labels and find themselves freer for it? In this authors case, maybe they aren't comfortable writing a NB person; perhaps they lack the experience to do so in a confident manner. They are least gave the player that option for their own roleplay. It's pretty similar for a characters race, they are things that shape and make them the character they are. Having too many characters could dilute the experience and/or put too much pressure on the author. 

And then there is the problem of having one RO of every gender (or lack-there-of) and every race - it leads to far too many characters - the player will likely never remember all of them anyway - and the quality of all of their personal plots will suffer again. There was a time when authors were allowed their creative freedom and instead of being told what they "should" do with their own art, were advised by a small select few on how they could possibly improve upon it. 

But all of this is just my own personal opinion (and everyone is entitled to an opinion) and ramblings, of course. Non of it is meant to offend anyone, merely offer an alternative perspective to consider. 

Played the demo and instantly bought the game (what's here so far, I know it's not complete yet) because daaaaamn that was so good. The way the story unfolds is amazing and I'm really looking forward to more! I really enjoy your writing style; you are very talented. Keep up the good work!

Women need more great fiction like this xD

Congrats on getting your Kickstarted up and running and smashing through your initial goal amount! I adore the game and am sure it will go far!

As a side note, your Handy-dandy faq link leads to a google docs page with the message "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist.", I thought you guys might want to know :3

This was such an adorable little story. Everything about it was sweet and wholesome. I adored every second of it! 

I'm glad that I somehow managed to stumble onto this game. I really enjoyed it and just wanted to leave a little thank you to everyone involved in creating it. I really appreciate that it was free as well. I'm grateful to have found something really enjoyable to immerse myself into for a couple of hours! 

Truly enjoyed my time playing every route of this game! It's so well put together and I loved everything about it. I'll be sure to leave a rating on the official game page too.

Thank you everyone for all the hard work you each put into this game, you managed to bring me some joy during a dark time <3

I... am an idiot xD My sexuality was indeed set to women only. 

I am so embarrassed but at least we now know it was a me issue haha
Thank you for the help! <3

I can not for the life of me find the right answers to unlock Ronin and V's route :c

The two girls routes were great though. I'm amazed you managed to get this all done in so little time :3

Do you still recieve a Steam key for this game once bought? I only ask because it still says so under the "buy now" button so just wanted to confirm it or not! :)

I think we'd all be too drunk to realise chapter 3 had even been released at this rate! xD
