I'm so happy you're excited for it! Comments like this really help inspire me to work a little harder on it. 

Very cute story!! It was a lot of fun to play!

I'd love to put her in the newstyle! I'll start work on it soon!

I'm still working on it diligently! Life just kind of got really busy lately so I've had to put it to the side for a little bit. Come November, I'll be back to working on it, but I'll make sure to make a post then updating exactly where the project is at!  I can't say that there's a solid release date yet, but when I get my post out, I'll try to give a good estimate.
Thank you so much for your interest and patience. Knowing that someone is interested in this game makes for really good inspiration and I can't wait to be able to jump back into it in full come November!

This was cute!
It's funny and it also shows how a little kindness and patience can really make a difference in a bad situation that feels out of everyone's control.

Sometimes larger sprites being put into certain programs/engines can make it look pixelated if the original sprite is larger than the project and sized down within the program.. If you have an image adjustment program that you can resize the sprite in to fit your game size specifically, it should help. Let me know if it doesn't.

I don't, but plan on releasing a larger resolution sprite for her.
Can I ask what the resolution of your game is?

That sounds wonderful and it sounds like you're more than willing to credit me with it so please, feel free! Thank you for considering my art for this project!

Fun and simple! I think Oscar is super cute, too! 
My only feedback right now would be that I personally think the sound effects could be a little less loud. The music is great; I love it!

This should be fine as long as it doesn't include/isn't based on any real life people.

This was super fun to play! I can't wait to be able to read more of the story, you have me completely hooked!

Please, feel free! I'd love to see this sprite fit into a yandere role!!

Hi there!

Sometimes the exact number of pixels may wildly vary based on each pose or slightly vary with each outfit but in general the base yume sprite is around 2338px x 4604px. If you have an editing or art program, these sprites are easy to shrink down to fit the size you need.

Thank you so much for letting me know and thank you for your kind response! 
Your game looks great and the new backgrounds are really cute as well! I'm glad my backgrounds were able to help!

Hello!
I'm sorry to bother you and I'm sorry that this comment is only in english, but I noticed that this project currently uses one of my backgrounds but I can't find if I've been credited.

I've been working to try and find a way to include more ways to create expressions with each character.
In the meantime, do you think it would be worth it to people to release a couple of expressions on the ones you've mentioned as an expressions pack? If so, can you list some of the expressions you'd prefer be included? If you had any specific characters you wanted to have them right away, I could get to work and release them soon.
If you don't mind answering some of these questions, I'd love to hear the answers. But there's no obligation and I will continue looking into it and bring it closer to the front of my workload.

Yes, that's okay! 

This was super cute! I can't wait to read more of it!

Thank you so much!!

I'm so glad I could be of help! I want to be able to provide sprites that are diverse so that many people can be represented! 
Your game sounds amazing and I will download the pre-alpha and play it very soon! I'm looking forward to it so thank you for sharing!

Sorry for the delay! It's finished now and available for download! Let me know if you need anything else!

I will get to work on this right away! It shouldn't take long because I think they're already mostly prepped for it.

That's completely okay! I like horror stuff, so I'd be happy to read it when it's finished!

Thank you so much for linking your VN! I will play it soon!

Thank you so much, as always!
I've been wanting to make editability a feature for my sprites and have been experimenting with the best way to go about it. I'm really glad to hear you like the idea of it! I want to inspire more people to create stories with characters as they imagine them!

I can't possibly find the words to tell you what hearing that my work inspires someone means to me. It is, hands down, the best compliment I can receive. Thank you so much!!

I'm so glad you love her and your feedback is wonderful, as always!
The editable pack is fairly simple to do, but it is tedious because I want to make sure to cut down on my usual number of layers in order to make it easier for others to tell which layer is which while still keeping them editable at almost every point. I once did this with Miki years ago, and it was well received but due to my schedule back then, I hadn't been able to continue with it for future sprites.
One of the biggest concerns many had with my sprites has been the fact that they aren't easily customizable so I mean to address again going into the future.

Hello! I want to kindly mention that I require credit "NoranekoGames" when my background is used. Thank you in advance!

(DeepL Translation)

Bonjour ! Je tiens à préciser que j'ai besoin du crédit "NoranekoGames" lorsque mon arrière-plan est utilisé. Merci d'avance !

First off, thank you so very much for playing my game!
Secondly, thank you even more for leaving such a heart-felt review.
Your words do make sense, don't worry!
I have so much I want to say about this game, so much commentary but I think that overall it's done a good job of speaking for itself after reading your thoughts on it.
And I think, mostly, I'm glad that its magic was understood.

Oh, I will keep an eye out for it! Feel free to link it here as well to plug your work even more~!

I eagerly accept questions so while I understand, you don't have to be shy!
I allow my sprites to be used in commercial games as long as they follow the rules.
Essentially, I just ask to be credited and for commercial games to not only offer my work as pay to use downloadable content. If you're selling your game and not the character by itself, this should be fine!
If I stumble upon the game, I might ask where the credit to me is if it's behind a paywall, so you can choose to tell me then or just tell me where it will be located beforehand. Either of those is fine.
And I always like supporting people who  use my assets, so if you feel like it, please link your game here when it's done!

Good luck on your game!

Thank you so much!
Do you have any specific CGs in mind?

Yes! This way of crediting is fine and within the rules! Thank you for all of the information!
And NoranekoGames is how I would prefer to be credited. 
I can't wait to see your engine!

Hello! Thank you for contacting me!
This is okay as long as it follows the rules. I also would not want my assets resold as add-on content, however, so please make sure that they are free to use for anyone who uses your program (It's okay if your base program costs money to use.)
As for credits, if you can credit me in a credits section, a place where the game is downloaded, or even a text file accompanying the program if it is download- Any one of those is fine! If you have any other ideas for where to credit, feel free to run them by me. I just want it to be findable if someone were to look.

Thank you and good luck with your project! Feel free to link it here when you are finished (if you want) so that people can see it!

I look forward to playing this game very soon! Thank you so much for linking it!!

I'm sorry to say that they aren't made from 3D models but instead photos (Most of which I personally took) that I've drawn over. So I'm afraid I won't be of any help to your project! Sorry for any inconvenience! 

Thank you so much! Good luck with your VN!!

As long as it follows all the rules listed, I don't see why not! Good luck with your project!

This was a very emotional read! I think it's a really well written story between two friends making sense of sexuality and relationships and I'm so happy for that ending!
