This is an excellent WIP and I can't wait to see where you go with it. I've played Heron's route so far and will be playing through the others' as well, there's seriously no one I don't like, which is a first. Your writing is extremely good, especially your descriptions. If there's one extremely minor request I might make, would you be willing to include Starling as one of the name options the players can pick from? Haha, I'm only asking because the common starling is my favorite bird and I've got one as a pet that I've raised from a fledgeling that I found on the ground.
Hello and thank you! That's a wonderful compliment regarding the ROs, and I'm glad you enjoyed Heron's route!
I'm hesitant to include another bird name because I have so many already: Robin, Heron, Eagle, Lark, Wren, Hawk. I'm trying to keep a balanced selection and I've already got several on the drawing room floor, I'm sorry! I could easily go overboard on the birds if I allowed myself, lol. I absolutely love the fact that you've raised one, that's adorable! 🥹
Hey there and you're welcome~! Haha no problem at all, I completely get why you'd be hesitant in hindsight and it's a very valid reason~ No need to apologize, seriously, it was just a "hey, I wonder," sort of question, not one with any weight behind it at all :D It's hard not to, considering how incredible most birds really are~ Thank you! I've taken in and raised several unusual animals since I was a kid, comes from living in the country most of my life (and desert, now. XD) I've had Hector (my Starling, who's with me for as long as he wants to be,) a fruit bat I rescued from my pool and kept until it was able to fly again, tons of garter, red and blue racer snakes, a possum and a couple of skunks. ^.^ Now, it's just Hector, Twinkie (she's a tuxedo cat I've rased from a stray kitten) and a three-legged turtle named Yurtle. :D
Anyway, before I keep rambling nonsensically about animals and whatnot: seriously, the post-apocalyptic genre (and all its subgenres,) your way of writing and characterization is excellent; you've got yourself a new (pain in the ass, mind you :P) follower~
You’re not rambling, no worries, thank you for sharing! And a fruit bat? 😨 I grew up a city girl, any bats or snakes I saw were in the zoo, lol.
And you’re not a pain at all, not in the least! Thank you for being a follower and taking the time to write. It honestly means a great deal to me and I’m very appreciative! 🥹❤️
