Hi there! Thank you for your comment. It's always good to know that the schlo project is being appreciated. 

It's awesome that you enjoy listening to the soundtracks for the games. The music is probably the most mediocre part of the games, haha. Just because I don't really know anything about music. :D

I've spent some time wondering about what will become of the games in the future, in the event that something ever happens to itch.io...

After reading your comment, I have changed the code for this new project a little and made it available for download, but the downloadable webpage design is simpler, because itch helps format the page and I didn't want to mess the code up too badly at this time. 

My most recent games will be easy for me to do the same with because I wrote the code myself. For my other web games, it'll be a bit more work. I have some plans for reworking the code of some of my older games as well, so perhaps I'll release all of these things together later this year. 

Thanks again for your continued support. Take care~

What a way to write a comment. So dramatic, haha... 

It's good to see that you're still writing on your website; I had forgotten the name of it. :)

I hope life has been treating you well. Have a nice year. Peace!

Hi there! Thank you for the comment. It's great to know that you're still excited the schlo project! I wish I had gotten more interested in continuing to update the website when it was still easier to access, but...we'll see what will come of it. Thanks for continuing to check it out. 

The pictures were uncolored in chapter 4 as a stylistic choice, yes. I thought it was fitting for that point in the story. I also just like the simplicity of black-and-white drawings. I always spend too long coloring the pictures, so leaving a portion of them uncolored was helpful keeping down production time a little. 

The storyline for Schlo is mostly prewritten, as I started working on the story long before starting to make the games you can see on here. I don't exactly have an answer for a concrete ending at this time, but I have some ideas of events leading up to an end of sorts. 

As for my thoughts on my previous works, I think I've done some things that are truly interesting, in terms of the concepts. The releases I've done in the past year or so (I'm thinking starting from "schlo room explorer") have been very stylish, in my opinion. But I also thought the artwork from schlo complications was pretty good when I was making it, and it's kind of embarrassing to look at now. I think there's a way to make things still "appealing" and also a little bad, so I'm trying to keep a bit of the unskilled qualities alive in my artwork, even if I'm getting better in my drawing style. Like, in this new release, there are a couple of pictures that I think look bad, but they're, like, funny, so it's okay. 

It's no problem to ask questions on here! It was like I got to do a mini-interview, which is fun. Thank you for curiosity. :)

Thank you for checking out my project. I'm glad to hear you found it interesting, even if it required a lot of clicks! :)

Thank you for the suggestion about the controls: I found that while reading through, the enter or spacebar key work similar to how the arrow keys would after you've clicked the button once. I will keep in mind adding an arrow key navigation system in the future. Take care~!

Hi there! Thank you for your continued interest in the Schlo project. This is an interesting question: I've had to think about how to answer...You're always welcome to leave me a comment on here. I actually don't have any other ways of contact at the moment...

All of the schlo projects are related, though schlo checkers and schlo pink and purple were speculative and most likely didn't really happen. The events in Schlo: Final Stand happen about two years after the events in this most recent project, schlo: confession. They're all from the same timeline! I am planning on covering the Schlo: Final Stand storyline again, but it is taking some time to get to that part... 

Preparations for the next release are coming along well. Take care! :)

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to write a comment. I’m glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying the schlo project. I hope you can start getting some sleep soon; progress on the next one has been going pretty slowly for now…but stay tuned!

Thank you for your interest in schlo! I guess you did just comment on my last project recently; you had good timing! There is kind of a release schedule, though I often fall behind, in order to ensure the quality. I hope you enjoy this new game. ~

Hi there! thank you for the kind comment. it’s awesome to hear that you’ve been enjoying the series (and noticing my subtle improvements, haha).
though I can’t guarantee that anyone is going to be nice anytime soon, I’ll keep working on the project. Thanks for the follow ! :)

Thank you so much for checking out another one of my projects! I'm glad to hear it was an experience you could get absorbed in, although it is quite a short game. I appreciate your comment. :)

hi there! i somehow missed when this question came in. i kind of think of it as like his eyelid is flipped out a little, i guess..? it’s sort of inspired by the tear bag makeup look but…it’s eye muscle. thank you for wondering!!

Hi there! Thank you so much for checking out schlo! It’s great to hear that the website came in handy.
And that’s good to know about the text box. Sometimes it can be hard for me to find the right balance between style and readability. I’ll try to get around and edit that for future readers. I appreciate your feedback. 
(p.s. I like your style! I’ll have to check out your projects, as well!)

thank you for playing and for the kind words!! I’m glad you had fun with it. :)

Thank you for being interested in schlo !

Hello! Thank you for your inquiry about my novel. It was a very limited run: a couple of months with under 10 copies printed.  The visual novel "what is schlo?" is directly based off of it with only some minor differences. I am gearing up for another game release on here currently, but I will see what I can do and possibly upload a copy of the book soon here on itch!

Aw! Well, I hope your brain stem gets to be disintegrated in a cool while reading schlo...thanks for the funny comment, haha.

Aw, thank you for playing! I hope feeling weird was cool, or at least that’s what I strive for.

Aw, thank you for playing! That's good it was still cool, at least!!

Haha, I noticed that someone had found it by searching for that and I felt quite honored/even out of place for it! Thanks for looking past its worst-ness, hahaha.

Thank you for the kind words! I've been working on the full version of the game a lot recently, so it should be something to look out for, soonish. I'm really glad you liked it! (sorry for your fried retinas, though...)

 I had been interested in playing the games the group you're part of had came out with myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I will definitely have to do so now!

Thank you very much for comment! It means a lot to me that it was liked (though I'm sorry it made you feel sick!). The creation process has been slow lately, but you've definitely inspired me to work towards a full version. The endings were intentionally rushed and unfulfilling feeling, as I had a hard time imagining most of the characters reacting positively towards romantic advances at the point where I placed them. I will most likely make them make a little more sense later on. (Though I guess  I plan on making a majority of the rest of the game about Dreygan and Slate (because that's the "correct" pairing...))

Thank you again! It means a lot to see my project could have reached someone positively.
