Hiya! Thank you very much for your comments, your words, and also for your fun and bright attitude, it makes my day! I’m just happy I was able to give you such an enjoyable time with my game, that’s what we’re here for!
It’s true that the characters’ sprites look a bit strange, and are not to the liking of some people. This is due to the fact that they’re just made with a 3D poser, and not really by artistic means. This is the best I can manage since I don’t work with artists now, but at least these sprites fulfill their role in the game quite decently, or I like to think so.
The music is not mine, but what's true is that you have to be more careful than people often think to choose the right music track for the right moment of the game. Music is a very powerful tool to evoke people's emotions, and well managed within a visual novel (or anywhere, for that matter), it can do wonders. I guess my music studies help me a bit here, too.
My strong point is writing, hence the effort I put in the elaboration of the story telling and dialogues, making deep, interesting and funny plots. And I’m really glad to know you enjoyed it to that extent! I’ve always liked playing visual novels with relatable MCs, but since you don’t come across this kind of well-made stories often, I’m committed to the design of a truly deep and immersive narration in my games. I always express the idea like this: you should feel that you’re living a story, putting yourself literally in the shoes of the MC… not simply “playing a game”. When I achieve this, it’s when I feel I succeed… and if you felt like this, nothing could make me more satisfied!
Lastly, as for the Android buttons, I have to apologize because I’m aware that’s not the best layout. For truly correct Android builds, the interface should be better organized, more friendly to the touch in the devices the game runs in. I just make use of the chance that Ren’Py gives to make Android builds for the games, though the interface is just the same as in a PC, in my case. For some devices this is enough, for others not (I can use those quick menu buttons in my phone, for example). Well, better this than nothing, I guess…!
Thank you again for your kind post, and I’ll keep doing my best. Have a nice day, too!
