this crazy ass comment i gasped, screamed, shouted, hit the table, got a drink of water, exclaimed, and put my hand over my mouth… and i’m ready to do it all over again. i hardly deserve the praise (AND the fanart but we’ll get to it later) you’ve lavished on me here, but i’m infinitely grateful that something my humble self has made can be reiterated so beautifully in your words. i feel like you were able to articulate so much better than i could my thoughts on making this game!
i’m glad that the variability and fluidity of experiences were able to enhance that kind of personal, individual feeling! how ironic that there is so much you can dictate through your choices, but they fall hollow and meaningless in the end regardless. some call it bad gameplay, but we can call it adherence to the theme here :^)
thank you for making my modest writing sound so beautiful and evocative in your words! the forest has been lost to the trees, one could say. i like that you specifically mention both the failure of the mc to see their inherent worth and the way they’re misunderstood by those around them — blinded by the wishes of others, they’re put in a situation where they can never be happy. this is definitely a bittersweet ending for aion, but hopefully not for us! we’re not trapped in a forever limbo yet, luckily! you and i have many more happy days in the sun at a beach that won’t be evil :D
and, of course, our guide. the hottest faceless voice one could have. i feel like a real bleeding heart doesn’t call themself a bleeding heart, but hey, he still made the effort to help out — even if it ultimately wasn’t a happy ending! i guess we can say that the eye of the beholder ought to be open to even find something to behold :P
coming from a ren’py MASTER such as yourself, i’m glad my shoddy code can still manage to hold up! it wouldn’t look nearly as good without the snake you drew for me too off the worst concept squiggle in existence >_< i suppose with your encouragement i might as well keep on trucking and find a new way to beat ren’py into submission for me. c = ==3 (robobarbie & allie vera please don’t kill me for the obscenity)
