Thank you for this, and the discord link, sorry for disappearing for... jeez, like four years at this point, things got busy and then, well, I just plum forgot. Time for me to go make a blogspot account, or something along those lines, guess I'll go find out now 

Sadly I do not have the funds to support you on Patreon at the moment (But if I do come into the money, I definitely will)
I will go search for the discord, thank you!

And by the way Twitter basically lets you post anything, but it can be a pretty toxic enviorment so that's the only reason I'd be against it. Tumblr would be good but you would have to tip toe around the different guidelines. Also, I have never heard of blogger, so I can see why you would be hesitant to make a related account on there.

Weird about the dev log, you'd think it would be easy so the dev could... log their process lol

Absolutely no problem, happy to help. Do you have any other places that have updates about this project? Or is it just on here? I saw you have a youtube channel, is that all?

That sounds incredibly frustrating, in my coding I just sort of... removed situations where third person pronouns are needed because I am a coward.
I'll try my best to do each context

[He] wants that - [They] want that

That doesn't belong to [him] - That doesn't belong to [them] 

[His] friends are over there - [Their] friends are over there

Jess thinks highly of [himself] - Jess thinks highly of [themselves]

[He's] not very chatty - [They're] not very chatty (Present + Future tense)

[He's] done it - [They've] done it (Past tense)

I'm fairly sure this is all correct and don't think I've left out any context, but English is hard so I could be wrong. Hope this helped and good luck with the project, can't wait to see it finished

I see your issue and I understand. Obviously I don't know what method you're using in coding for the different pronouns, but I'm just assuming you've done it so that it will opt in whichever option the player chooses rather than rewriting the entire script just with different pronouns. If you're doing it like that, you're right,  just putting in they/them wouldn't work, you would have to make a different sentence structure. Using your example;

"No, they've got a point there."

I imagine that would require a lot of rewriting and fiddly coding and whatnot so I can completely see how that would just be too tasking, but I do appreciate that you at least looked into it, or even have a pronoun option at all.

If ever in the future you want try going for more pronoun options, the dating sim "Dial Town" would be a good example of an expansive pronoun option, it has standard options (He/She/They), but also has a completely customizable option, where the player can use anything as pronouns. You have to jump through some hoops because it means writing each pronoun for each context and whether it's plural etc etc, but I personally found it neat. (If you do look into it, the game is rather weird, but the pronoun thing is solid). I have no clue if the dev is using the same game engine as you, so I don't know if the code would even be transferable, so perhaps it would be useless to you.

I'd be happy to tell you about how they/them pronouns work, although not an expert (I'm also dyslexic, my ability at grammar may not be the most reliable) I just have some friends who use they/them and have thus had to adjust my language to accommodate that

Sorry for the essay and thank you for your original response

Played the demo and loved it, can't wait for the full release

Art is solid, very well done

Gameplay is excellent, love the addition of the aftercare even if it's not something I personally use

I like that you can choose your pronouns and genitalia preference, although it would be handy if there was a they/them options for some. It would also be great to be able to choose whether  you have breasts or not, but that would probably require a lot of rewriting of code and isn't of the highest importance to me

My only issue is with some of the sound. Although I love the ambience and music, the voice lines take me out of it a bit and when I tried to turn down the voice volume, it didn't work. All the audio - music, sound and voice - all are connected to the Sounds volume bar and some I can't turn down one without turning the rest down

Other than that, excellent and competently made game, patiently awaiting the rest
