Thank you so much for writing this post-mortem! Ever since I played MindMindMind I've looked at your other games too and I'm greatly inspired by the fact that you're making visual novels in Godot (as someone who's trying to learn Godot too).

I learnt of the Pygmalion story after watching My Fair Lady and was confused about how such a story could be turned into a romantic musical. I did not know that Galatea was not named in the original tale. I always assumed she just had one. 

I'm grateful that you were willing to share your personal experiences; I can relate to how people perceived you and the assumptions they made. <3

Oh gosh, that's such a kind compliment 😭 I was wondering if this post mortem was a little too self-indulgent, but I was like, "Agh I wrote it, might as well post it..." So I'm so glad that you found it interesting! 😭 And you've followed me since MMM!!! Gosh, I'm so touched! (And AHH a fellow Godot dev!! 🤝 I love to see others in the wild...)

And OMG I COMPLETELY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. It was such a strange choice, esp since Shaw, the writer of the play on which it is based, adamantly rejected the Pygmalion-Galatea pairing at the end, even though audiences clamored for it. He stated, paraphrased, that Galatea must reject Pygmalion, and only then will she truly be free - and ofc, I wholeheartedly agree with this. EDIT: Apparently there are multiple versions of the film, some where Eliza goes back to Higgins and some not - I adamantly stand by the idea that she must never go back LOL (And same, I only realized when I was reading the Metamorphoses while writing the script 😅 it did support my point rather well...)

Ahh thank you 😭 I know that aspects of what I write are ofc, highly subjective/biased, so I'm really glad that it resonated! 

Thank you again for taking the time to read and comment!! ❤️
