Thanks for such a thoughtful comment friend :)
Yeah I've been thinking a lot about the whole Steam dilemma; there's some pretty raunchy with no problems in, and a big list of banned games include underage characters. I'm just cautious in case I want to include some things because I don't think Steam would love some things, like if at some point in the plot a character is drunk + sex happens, they may think there's no consent... Maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but better safe than sorry, there's no coming back from a ban as far as I know.
I'm glad you like the new pixel :) Chiharu is for sure the one I'm still not on board so don't worry, I've been sketching other designs, it's just that sometimes I have to move on to other things because I get fixated on something and then spend too much time, so I let it rest for a bit haha
Yeah about the fixed times, you explained perfectly my reasons for the change. I didn't really have much content before and it already felt like a "complex" menu. Walking from place to place felt just like pressing buttons and not really doing anything. It was a problem of my implementation, since I've played games that do it well, but I didn't.
About the inventory, I always thought about having one, mostly for gifts for the girls, but since I wanted to have some customization, letting the player place things in some spots came naturally. I'm avoiding the whole farming thing since it would feel out of place, but yeah, some plants and other decoration will be nice I think!
We will see how this turns out, but I'm really enjoying it hehe. Thanks a lot for the nice comment! Always a pleasure to read your thoughts. I'm a bit less focused on media atm, so sorry if I take a bit to answer back!
¡Y si, soy español! Prototipo mejor en español, por fin empecé a usar las herramientas para localizar fácilmente y tenerlo en los dos idiomas jajaja. Cualquier cosa me dices, tengo curiosidad por tus proyectos. Un placer :)
