1. I won't spoil the surprise.
2. Donations are not an obligation; they are a nice bonus, as I can use the money for things like courses or addons, but it's not the reason I work on this game.
3. Thank you!"
There are several reasons I started working on this game, like my love for games, story telling etc...
However, the most significant one was the realization that I might end up stuck in a monotonous and uninspiring work routine IRL.
I often promised myself that I would start doing something different, something I liked, every time I went to bed after a workday, but like it always happens, I kept postponing it to an undefined future. To break this cycle, I decided to release my project despite having little experience, as a way to motivate myself to move forward and take action.
It turned out to be a good decision as although the journey wasn't perfect, I learned a lot and discovered new interests, even found a path I wish to take in the future.
Basically, I work on this game to make changes in my life and to not lose the passion for my artistic creativity, which can easily fade as we get older.
Best of luck with your project! I hope we get to experience your story soon.
I feel the same as you, I love games, especially visual novels because they have very interesting stories and it's honestly what I play the most, so I would like to dedicate myself to creating games because it's what I like the most. Thanks for the words, I identify with them a lot, I still have a lot to learn but one day I will make my own game and I hope that people like it like I'm going to like doing it.
That's all, thanks for talking to me and I hope you're doing well, I'm looking forward to the next update! Take care of yourself!
