Thank you for your answer!

Yeah I do get that, I feel like once you start accepting money -especially monthly over something like patreon- you start to put yourself under a lot of additional pressure. (Maybe after the release you can make it so it's downloadable on itch and people can donate if they want to :>)

Then I am gonna keep a lookout on Tumblr and maybe you can let us know on there if/when the discord is open again, that'd be great!

A bit of a combination of  'critique' 1&2, I saw in your reply to dollface444 you mentioned you like the differentiation from Visual Novels, which I absolutely get and makes me rethink my previous comment about the art a little. 

I mainly made that 'critique', because I confused some characters -not the best at remembering names- in the beginning and a face popping up the first time you see the name could help a lot, especially when you are making choices about their identity right after!

Side note, I love it when people/characters go "BAH, ...." always makes me laugh! But yeah it is very on the nose, but when aren't gods in mythology very on the nose? ;3

And thank you for you very in-depth answer! You answered with great enthusiasm <3

Haihai, 

what a great start to a story, I enjoyed it a lot and am figuratively starving for more :> -insert a whole bunch of raving about all the great things people before me have already pointed out-

I have a few questions and "critiques" after that (more like minor wishes).

Questions:

1. "This game will be free to play in its entirety" - I assume this is a passion project of yours, is / will there be any way to support you? 

Whether that be financially, with art or fan-art, maybe even emotionally showing support.

(I wouldn't even know how to 'donate' here on itch without the download popup, which is not on your site)

2. Is there any way to keep updated with the progress and/or release notifications/reminders? 

(I tried joining the discord but the link seems to be dead, also I honestly don't know how Tumblr works nor even have an account, so if  Tumblr would work for that please enlighten me :>)

3. How will the 'release' -for the lack of a better term- work? 

Will it be one big one with essentially a completed game, or will it be episodic just adding a chapter every so often, or something entirely different?

Critiques (actually just wishes):

1. You have got some incredible art available outside of the game atm, is there a chace it might be added into the game itself in some way or another?

2. I think someone before stated that they were missing audio, which while not needed can add a lot if able to execute well on it. (I'd especially recommend giving the free demo of 'Our Life: Now & Forever' a play, it has really cool dynamic music where I had to scroll up and down -to go back and forth chronologically- to even really notice the layers that started and stopped when for example a character showed up)

But audio is a very hard thing to get right, so my personal opinion -not like it's worth much, just food for thought- would be that having audio is only really worth if it is good enough to support the rest of the experience, which is a-helluva-alotta work.

3. How could you not have had 'Eternity' as a preset name for the MC honestly it writes itself and doesn't even sound bad for a name. :>

All in all I want to say, I think you really got something here and it's a crime that you plan for it to be free.
