No, you’re all good. I’m reiterating a bit, but I don’t think what you’re doing is wrong. 
It would really be more down to others on those playthrought routes to comment on the matter if anything feels off in some way. I do get where you’re coming from on the whole “choices being hollow” in practice, which is why some things are going to be a bit more straightforward than having different values based on details that are too in depth. There are some times when customizing a character goes deeper than it necessarily needs to in other WIPs/completed works that I’ve seen, but I’d say what we have here in yours is just right for getting invested in the story. To be clear, your system isn’t too much at all. It is just right!

Thanks I was getting a bit worried haha.
Maybe I will add more stuff once I get more comfortable with coding but thats a thing for future me.
Stuff that is def going to be added once the story progresses: tattoos and scars.

You don’t have to change it but you shouldn’t dry fire a bow it only slightly bothered me but just thought I would let you know

I am very aware of that, thats why I wrote with “controlled movements”. I have reworded it to make it clear.

I thought the same thing when I first read that, but then I realized “releasing with controlled movements” could also mean slowly release

Yeah that was the way I intended it, but I have reworded it, so its clearer now.

Just a quick update: I am currently rewriting the open day, expanding and adding more stuff, because I havent been happy with it, while also writing the next update which will already have lots and lots of branching.
I have also posted my second WIP Wisteria Birds, so if you want something more fantastical (low fantasy) check it out: WIP Wisteria Birds - Updated 21.10.23
Regarding updates: I have started a new job that is really shitty and leaves me coming home utterly exhausted. I am still writing, its just going slow. But I am not going to abandon these worlds, I have already poured quite a bit of my heart and soul into those wips and a third one will take place in the same universe at a different time (havent started this yet). (Does this count as a trilogy if its only connected by a cult and what remains of it lol)

Hi again, still enjoying this but I notice bad slots for the saves so I can’t currently save, also after the open day when my wing declines to go to the party I got an error message, didn’t catch what it said sorry. I do like Wisteria birds as well, look forward to more of that to.
I see you mentioning a third story, look forward to that to.

Thanks for this post, you do not know how bad I needed to hear something like this today.
Yeah the saves wont be working until I update again, I posted that at my tumblr but I totally forgot to write that here, sorry for that! As I am also currently rewriting the open day
Currently struggling a bit thanks to work related problems but both storys are being worked on, just at snails speed! For the third game I am still struggling with some more advanced coding but will also post that when I have more! In case you want to see the “aesthetic” and a short blurb: here

As seen in the title this is not really an Update, but more added content! Also I fixed some errors, added content to give a bit more insight into the story and into the Divine Flock, learn a bit more about your fellow Wing Astoria, choose if you want to be a vegetarian!

I am confused now, how is adding content different from an update?
In my understanding an Update is something that “brings the story forward” or basically just “look! it keeps going further now!” and since I havent written that yet I consider it purely expanded content but nothing new! (still working on it lol)

Wonderful little update. Enjoyed new bits on Astoria.
Also found a spelling mistake.
Should be “her”, i think

I noticed that Chase is called Chase by narration before his name is introduced, which… seems like it shouldn’t happen?
Thanks for spotting this! This will get fixed in the next update.
Thanks for spotting this! It actually affected both Fuchsia and Chase lol, I fixed it in the code and this will be fixed with the next update!
