My sibling in Arceus, what do you think the primary element of a visual novel entails doing? ðŸ˜‘ 

If you truly care about the story, it's there, it's finished, it's been done for years. I will likely add an extra epilogue to it late this year to commemorate the 10th anniversary of LiS1. This project was exceedingly difficult to work on from top to bottom and to have some stranger wander in, demanding I finish it (y'know, for free, as if I'm just some freely dispensing content creation sludge machine) and then to disgrace my primary craft -- writing -- yeah, that don't feel great. This shit isn't magic and I made multiple hours of content like 90-95% on my own which took a long time to do.

Take what's here, and read the rest in prose form, or don't. I made what I made.

your words 23 hours ago " to have some stranger wander in, demanding I finish it (y'know, for free, "
my words 150 days ago "finish the game please"
i cant see the word "for free"

and also keyword "visual"

I can't see how tf you would interpret a FREE FAN GAME (do you see a price listed here anywhere?) would somehow not be free? Especially when it's a fan game, and charging money for that kind of thing gets into legal issues real quick.

Key word, "visual"?

Try key word "NOVEL".

A VISUAL NOVEL is primarily about READING. That is the core 'mechanic' to it! You read text. What makes it different from a standard novel is that yes, there are visual AND audio components to enhance the experience. Often dialogue choices that can alter what you READ next. But it is still entirely about READING.

You told me to finish it, I told you it's already finished, in purely novel form. You turned this into an attack of sorts by insulting my years of work writing the story, on top of insulting me with a blunt "finish the game" when, if you'd already been paying attention to what content is here, you'd know I've already finished what work I was capable of doing on it.

Take it or leave it, fan content is not owed to you.

Looking at your itchio comments, all you seem to do is leave, short, blunt, negative remarks demanding things from people. You clearly have no idea how difficult things like this are to make and distribute.

Do not reply to this, please.
