my inbox is full of nice messages and i don’t want to flood the tl so i’m going to answer a big batch of ‘em! warning for spoilers:

thank you! this is great to hear. i’ve always loved the modern touches in ffs like 8, 13, etc., and it was a flavor i’d wanted to incorporate into a fantasy setting of my own. i still think about the part in ff8 where the president gets assassinated by a witch on live television.

even if their circumstances aren’t realistic at all, i wanted the characters to feel down-to-earth, so i’m glad they came off that way. i only realized this after hearing from others, but “desperation” is a major theme throughout the story. she’s gotta have “it”

thank you so much! to be fair, i was never planning to do fully rendered 3d backgrounds, only to use them as a foundation to draw over. it’s something a lot of comic artists do these days, which i respect, but…i think it’s not for me. i just don’t like thinking about perspective unless it has an “atmospheric” in front of it. but i’m glad the approach i went with was a success! i also love “i felt like i was really getting mugged”

i’m not a musician in any capacity, and i’d never considered releasing any of my piddly little compositions until this. i’m lucky to have worked with such an encouraging friend.

i gotta look out for my clowngirls. thank you.

these two messages came one after another for a critical hit combo… thank you so much for letting my little freaks into your heart.

this is another thing i was hoping would happen! thank you.

ysme uses artisanry to augment her body. we’ll get more into how that magic system works later!

thanks so much! i’ve never played any of the pmd games, but that’s very high praise. and i’m honored to hear that i inspired you to make a vn of your own! it really is such a flexible and fun medium, so i hope you enjoy the process.

thanks! that was absolutely an inspiration. when i was outlining the script, i had the vague idea that i wanted ysme to coerce loic in a way that would make sense considering the magic at his disposal. personally if i were mugging a wizard i would simply not give him the chance to think about it .

thank you. i don’t have the mental bandwidth to make an rpg, but i still wanted to make something that evoked the same feelings, so that’s fantastic to hear.

thank you so much! i can only be myself, and thus there will be more titty.
