Just finished the Volume 2 and all I can say is fan-freaking-tastic job! The writing, animation, and direction are all beautiful. I felt the characters are portrayed so well and so much depth was covered in the volume. You all have truly out done yourselves and should be proud.
Some things I would like to note is that I really appreciate how you have characterized Caelan. In your rendition he is a very likable character with realistic reactions to situations. You have him show a deep level of compassion, but also with strength to stand up for himself in ways that fit his character.
Like I said before your efforts have made a beautiful build worth the wait, but something I'll note is maybe less production value in animation would be something to consider. The motion of backgrounds is nice but sometimes a little too much like the swaying in the butcher shop. This is a small nitpick but I just know how much effort it takes to create these additions for a small pay off since a pretty background may not need motion. (The little sprite animations of characters though has so much charm and i love it)
Once again, congratulations on your volume 2 release and I look forward to the next build!

Just played VOL 1 and its looking very very promising! The art, music, and sound work are all phenomenal and I look forward to seeing more in the future. Just from the preview for VOL 2 I can also tell the backgrounds will be stunning!
While the first build was quite short I will have to save my reservations for how the writing will turn out as more content is rolled out. Based on what you have detailed in other comments the adjustments to personalities should be a welcomed change based on feed back from the original FBTW.
That being said. Is there a way to join for closed play-testing when that rolls out? Do I need to be part of the server and wait for an announcement?
it depends on how the creator set their billing cycle. Typically it is the 1st day of each month but some creators have enabled an initiation fee meaning you get charged for joining and then get charged on the 1st of the month.
For Andy's Patreon it has an initiation fee and default cycling so I recommend joining at the start of a new month instead of the end of one so you don't get double charged.
