    1. Which guy did you like the most and why?
    Definitely Reksa. I'm a big sucker for those aggressively overprotective cute types. I just wanted to pat Reksa on the head for being so adorable hngh. Additionally, I got to experience what it's like in the Komodo tribe, which was something the other 2 routes lacked. But I mostly liked Reksa because he had the cutest scenes with Tamara. Also the good ending with him made me bust all of my uwus. I liked Mitra second because he has that gentle and kind vibe and you feel secure just by being with him. I liked Rama's route the least because he was so unpredictable and hard to deal with, though I understand that it was kinda the point with his dark back story and all. Still, I really didn't like him that much even when Tamara started liking him and vice versa. 

    2. Do you play a lot of otome/visual novels? What made you choose to play Nusantara? 
    Yep! I have an unhealthy obsession with visual novels lol. At first glance, Nusantara seemed to have great art which is why I was drawn to it. Upon finding out that it also had fantasy themes, I was sold. Not to mention it also features half-naked bishounens.
    3. Which element of the game would you say was the best and which ones would you say need work? Consider story, art, characters, music etc. 
    For me, the characters would be the best element. I really love how fleshed out they are. Each of them has their own quirks which made me fall in love with them. I could even relate to Tamara when she said that the people she met felt like her actual family, because I got attached to the characters just like she did. Second best would be a tie between the story and art. I loved the special art scenes!! I also loved the backgrounds which made me even more engrossed in the well-written story. Also, the characters' dialogues fit so perfectly with their personality. I even laughed several times because of how adorable some of the exchanges/conversations between the characters are. My favorite dialogue would be this just because I giggled so much when I read through this part. '
    4. Do you have any other questions, comments or constructive criticism?
    I guess one thing in the story that put me off would be the confrontation scene between Rama and Tamara in Rama's route. Rama was having an episode and Tamara started to get angry and yelled at him, telling him how lucky he is to have people around him who love him. While I understand that she was only frustrated because she cared so much for Rama, something about being angry at someone who's in a dire condition doesn't sit right with me. It kinda felt off that she started to rant about her own life problems. I know it wasn't your intention, but it came across like she was trying to tell Rama that his problems doesn't compare with hers or he has it easier than her. Again, this was just how it came across for me, and others might have a different understanding/perception of that scene.

1. Ah, Reksa, our champ. I'm not surprised anymore you picked him and that's why I recommend to do his route last x'D Congrats on finishing all three routes and thank you for giving them all a chance <3 and I understand~ Rama is not everyone's cup a tea but I'm still happy you read through his story to the end!

2. All hail half-naked bishounens! I mean, we need more otome games with fantasy elements! >< I'm glad that my VN caught your eyes~ at first, I was not sure whether people will like my game or not, because it's rare to have novels with Indonesian cuclture in it--not to mention the addition of animal characteristics but I'm glad I took the risk! ^.^

3. Thank you! I try my best to make all characters unique. Even the NPCs, so I'm glad to hear you can relate to the characters :'3 

and lol, Reksa's route was so much fun to write x'D I have so many fave moments there and that's one of them!

There's still room for me to improve though... I'll do my best!

4. Ah, I'm glad you bring it up, my friend! And that's exactly what I wanted to potray. Tamara is not an adult, not mature, and not perfect--just like any of us--and in my opinion, most people in the world starts like that. We have our weaknesses, we are selfish, and we would rather 'talk' than 'listen'. We think our lives are not as fortunate as others, but the truth is each of us have our own problems to tackle.

*SPOILER ALERT*

And that's why Tamara needs to learn about 'tolerance' and 'patience'. In Rama's route, I make a lot of options where the correct answer would often result in Tamara having to wait upon Rama. What I wanted to say/the lesson I'm trying to teach is... if you truly want to understand about someone or if you want someone to open up to you, we need time and patience. 

You don't need to talk, just stay by his side. In Rama's case, you need to put in extra effort because he is mentally weak and he's at his limit, at the end of a 'cliff' if I must say. Just a slight push and... you know the rest >< 

Um... I'm not sure what else I can explain @@ it's a bit hard for me because I've already half forgotten about the events' timeline and order, but in any case! Tamara's efforts after the outburst contributes in a way. At least Rama knows that she's being sincere ^.^ it's one step at a time~ life is all about learning and with time, we'll become wise... this is what I call character development!

I hope I answered your question o.o; I'm sorry about the text wall though ><;; Hope to see you around!

I'm so happy you took the time to reply!! About the Indonesian culture bit, I forgot to mention but I was actually pleasantly surprised that the game was set in Indonesia! I'm always interested in learning about other cultures, especially those of fellow southeast asian countries (hi from the Philippines lol). And about Tamara's personality, it does make a lot of sense now that you've explained it. Often, we do make the mistake of 'talking' rather than 'listening,' and it's so refreshing for that to be shown in the main character of an otome. I can see the amount of effort you've made into creating a well-balanced game, and I'm glad I was able to enjoy it! Again, thank you so much! I'm looking forward to more of your works <3
