thank you so much!! any writer, of course, wants to hear people think their writing is good…me included! i’m really glad that i could get a good baseline just for the writing from you :D and it def was kind of a struggle to write that much over 4 days so i’m happy to hear that it was noticed and appreciated by you! i feel like three endings was necessary to really kind of play with the themes i was tossing around :P which did mean more work for me but hey we’re here now! i hope more people feel up to unlocking the endings and trying diff choices to get the most bang for my buck haha
and i’m glad the ticking worked!! i wanted to give it kind of a liminal, empty feeling – but also to tie back into the last ending when it clicks that you’ve been running out of time this whole time. and thank u so much! i feel like ren’py sucked the soul out of me, so your words really mean a lot to me & the frustration i had to go through to get everything to work as intended >_<
i’m very glad also that aion’s unhappiness and dissatisfaction was really able to get through and cut deep. the endless loop and slog of having everything change but you alone, and wondering what it is you’re doing wrong and what it takes to be happy – so if everyone says it’s this, then i’ll do that, but why am i still not happy? silly aion…happiness is in the eye of the beholder! [badum tsst]
as the author/game dev i control the characters, and so i will split miran and val apart in divorce court and give him to you. he’s yours. [passes him into your hands]
