Great, thanks! I remember adding an alternate scene for people who didn’t know him just yet, but that might have gotten either mixed up or it simply didn’t translate well, so I’ll check it out!

Ah yeah, but there’s also options in which, if I remember correctly, you never find out who he is, still I’m glad it made sense! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for reading, it means a lot!!

hey about the fight MC has with Leon The Great: My MC is a woman and I didn’t want to finish him but I wanted to hit him for the reason he wanted to be killed. So just because he was defeated by a woman his career is over?? I understand that the period that the game goes on is normal to have thoughts like this but i feel bad that the only ways i can react is either my MC kill him as if his argument makes sense or not kill and feel bad about it or just enjoy the glory of victory. I wish I had an option to be mad about it, because my MC has already been teased for being a woman and wanting to participate in the fight, and then when she proves to be strong enough to win the loser can’t even be decent enough to just accept her victory, he acts like it destroyed his life, I wish my MC could talk about how unfair this is, that Leon isn’t weaker just because he lost to her and that no woman should be that underestimated! I understand that in the game these sexist thoughts will be normal, but I wish my MC had the option to defend herself because I felt offended by the way they think.

Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention!! I honestly didn’t anticipate the fact that people might feel angered by such a ridiculous statement. In hindsight, all you’ve described makes perfect sense.

I will definitely go back and add some more choices that reflect the variety of emotions Leon’s words can invoke!

While that was intended, I agree with you that there should be adequate responses/choices.
These things can be easy to miss when you stare at things for too long, so thank you for bringing on a pair of fresh eyes, and pointing this out!

I really appreciate this feedback, thank you!!

I just wanted to say that I love your story and the characters and cannot wait for more. And I love your writing so much that hopefully, one day, I’ll be able to be a good writer like you.

I’m looking forward to more. :heart_eyes:

Will give you a run down about what I liked most when I have the time.

Keep up the good work!

Hi! Wow, thank you so much😭 That’s such a sweet thing to say, and this has completely made my day!!
To be honest, I’ve been feeling pretty unhappy with my writing lately, so that means SO much!

(Also, google and the thesaurus are pretty much my best friends, so I would 100% recommend😅)

I’m really looking forward to it!!!

Again, thank you for these lovely and encouraging words!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

No, 'cause he’s a minor. I also already have a RO list, but I’m pretty sure you’ll see him again.

Thanks for reading!!

Do you have any plans to add options for a trans character in the future? The game seems really interesting, but the fact the game kinda locks you into being cis with the way you choose gender puts me off it. If not that’s fine, I’ll just peace out and leave you to it. I don’t wanna make you feel like I’m trying to force anything on you.

Hi!

This has been on my mind for quite a while now, and I’ve already done some research. However, I don’t want to create anything that might be seen as insensitive or even outright offensive, so I haven’t been quite certain yet.

For the next update, I will try to revise and add options for transgender players, so hopefully that will work out well.

Thank you for pointing this out, I hope I’ll be able to successfully implement this in the future!!

Progress Update (December 6th, 2022)

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to quickly hop on here to let you know that chapter 2 is coming along nicely, and I’m excited to share. Progress is slow right now, however, I am aiming to get an update out around the end of December/ begin of January. Though, it might be split into parts, I’m not certain yet.

Thanks for reading and until next time!! :heart:
