Ryis is so cute and Balor is my usual type and Eiland is adorkable and I don't know who I'm gonna smooch! (I just started this week too.)

That's so lovely! My sis and I were more like... fought like cats and dogs but came together against external threats. I kinda like that dynamic for a fictional sibling duo.

"Just self-publish! What, no, I never crowdfund games." (I say this as a self-pubbie who did crowdfund. I'm in a fortunate situation that many are not.)

Awww, you're so sweet. I have a pair of brothers whose central conflict is based on me and my sis as teens. Actually had a blast writing it from the younger sibling's PoV (I'm the eldest).

Trust me, I know I have a Medievalist reader when they barge into my Discord yelling "Robin Hood needs TIGHTS!"
It's a fantasy world, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. ;)

Hiya, we'd love to be added. Our lead dev/company owner (me) is non-binary as are several other major contributors to our game.

I suddenly aged when I learned you were still in college in 2017. :D

Stupid money, can't we just do a dungeon and loot some treasure chests or something?

Which is really fun for player expectation; folks looking at a game like mine (we have great art!) and thinking we must have a PR/marketing team. Yeah, no, PR/marketing is me. Narrative and coding, also me. Tech support, oh hey, it's me.

This is the way.

I only saw this post and thought somehow *your* game corrupted and it somehow turned everyone white and I was like, "I mean, I've actually seen weirder bugs, but that's pretty weird!"

That's quite doable if you're indie (as I thankfully am), but a lot more challenging for somebody on a large corporate project. That's why I offer grace and empathy to anybody fighting that fight. I can only imagine...

I have to say, as a non-binary person writing a nb character for a narrative game myself, that it is *so freaking difficult* to write a character who is parse-able to cis people and relatable to nb people as well. I erred on the side of the former in my own first draft and have made changes.

Our romance visual novels are and will always be human-artist-created! No visual art, sound, or writing gen AI involved.

Yay, at least Will is available to you! (I'm afraid Geoffrey and Gui's route is up last because of *plot developments.*)

Oh gosh, I should actually start posting on this account if we have been perceived here. ;)
Hope you have a great time with the game!
