I'm so sorry for how late my reply is again! >.< I was working like crazy on my entry for Scream Jam 2020, Impostor, haha. It was a 10 day game jam but I only had 7 days to work on it. Been getting around 4 hours sleep a night and working for as many hours of the day/night as possible to get it done xD Thankfully, I managed to finish it in time :3
That's so great that your teachers loved your presentation! I'm glad it went well for you :3
SPOILERS
You pretty much got it right with what you said about the principal in the student route :D It's supposed to be Isaac playing that part, cos he's such an evil bugger that he sometimes enjoys playing the villain role in the simulations himself when he has the time! It's kinda like a hobby for him to torment people I think >.< And yeah, Kuro was refencing the fact that he knows the truth about what's going on, and he's a part of it and can't help MC so he feels kinda guilty/responsible about it.
I probably wound up giving mage Kuro the green hair subconsciously cos I was thinking of Ukyo or something xD
Yeah, 26's memories and experiences were put into 339 :3 27, 28, 29 etc. would have existed at some point but by the time we see the story they have either been discontinued as units, or they are still running simulations but aren't as successful as 26. You're right that 339 was the next unit to be woken up, so she would have been the latest one. They would have had hundreds more units of MC and Kuro in storage though, with the ability to produce more down there in the lab.
I never really thought about if they would need to eat or not actually! It would make more sense for the clones to have been made without the need for food so that they're more durable and don't have to stop testing for food breaks. Isaac managed to make artificial lungs and stuff for S****, so I guess it's possible he could have made something weird to replace the need for food, haha.
I would say that they can get tired when they're in simulations, yeah :3 Cos the simulations are supposed to feel real, so they would experience fatigue in the same sorta way people normally would I guess. Probably more mental tiredness than physical, but they can feel physical exertion within the simulations too.
You probably know more about the little details of Kuro like the hovering and stuff than I do now! Haha :3 I wrote it all so long ago that I forget a lot of the small details x3 Back when I was testing I was sometimes surprised by certain scenes cos I forgot what I wrote xD Usually when I'm testing I kinda turn into a zombie cos it gets really boring reading the stuff so many times over while looking for bugs and typos that I end up switching off >.< It also gets really hard to tell if the writing is okay cos it gets to the point where I'm just so fed up with seeing it that it all looks like crap T_T haha.
In the simulations, Kuro could probably couldn't float that high cos there would be some form of limitations in place to keep his activity somewhat restricted to however Isaac wants :(
Yeah, Kuro just wants to see MC succeed really so he usually tries his best to help lead her on the right path :3 He never really wants to hurt her, he just kinda breaks sometimes >.< haha. You're exactly right when you say he just wants to support her and see her flourish :3
Isaac kinda wants MC to make mistakes so that both her and the Kuro's suffer more, but ultimately he also wants her to learn from those mistakes too in order to further her sorta power level.
Again, I'm so sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks already! o.O I honestly don't know where the time goes sometimes >.< Just been waaaaay too absorbed in working on game project stuff. I hope you're doing okay, have been having a great week, and that you have a super duper weekend! ^-^
