Oh I need to add something, that in my last replies, my haha and etc. are snarky. At that time I was a bit angry and felt ridiculous about some things.
i just suddenly realized that i dont need to be nor shouldn't be polite when mad. And i might no longer be the audience of your game (or have never been considered as the target audience? i dont know), so i dont need to maintain 'harmony'.
So ATTENTION! The words below may be snarky and directly critical. and i always talk too much...
You mentioned the nature of children. There is some truth in what you said, but I do think that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, you had downplayed the issue. Just face it and dont hide the real problem.
Even for adult Tamarack, you team chose a plaid short-sleeve dress (that even doesn't reach the knees) for her, which is completely different from Qiu's and many of others (i guess so, just by things showed in step1). Sorry a bit but i felt ridiculous about this outfit, and the reasons are easy to find in my recent comments. I think, when designing Tamarack, you indeed—whether intentionally or unintentionally—incorporated gender stereotypes. This cannot be excused by citing 'the nature of children' or 'parental negligence'.
But you team and your games are safe. Cause this is just one of the wrong things that most of people around the world take for granted. And many women wear such outfits 'voluntarily', haha.
And one thing very important, you really did a much better job than some disgusting games like gal games (also known as Bishojo Game). So i should stop here.
Finally, still politely, thanks your efforts and your games provided. Wish you good luck. But Goodbye.
