Aaahh!! I honestly can't wait for the full version and I also can't believe that nobody commented on this game bruh

Before I talk about the storyline- the bugs. I went with female+she/her Bo, male+he/him Kai, female+they/their Alex, and male+she/her (basically, transgender) Shay. First of all, in the Image Gallery, Shay shows as a female. Second bug- in the Replay Room Extra Scenes, Shay's sprite is female (with she/her pronouns) and sometimes Shay shows as "Beautiful Stranger", Alex as "Federation Officer", and Kai as "Angry Nerd". Third error- I don't know if this is a typo or intended- when Shay, Bo and Ben talks about Vinny,  Bo says "Haven't heard from him in years though." and Shay says "She does go by a different name... she's still an idiot." Is Vinny genderfluid? (I'm not sure whether this is how genderfluid works but..)


Now on the gameplay. Pretty decent, personally I would love to see more action but I'm not complaining about the current one. Overall everything seems smooth, I'm curious how this game will take shape once it's fully developed. I think I took every path I could so far and I can tell you for sure that Kai giving Bo a plant is so cute agahgfdhjs


Long story short- wow this comment became much longer than I expected it to be- keep on the amazing work, as a supporter and a part of the lgbtq+ I want to thank you for trying and doing representation of various genders and sexes by making it customizable (and for the Developer's Note, really moved my heart), and good luck with everything. Stay safe!

Thanks for reporting the bugs! I have an inkling of what’s going on with most of these, and will try to get them fixed ASAP ^^; 

The line of dialog you captured is intentional, and I was actually really curious whether or not people would catch it. I actually went back and forth about whether or not I should include it (or conversely, elaborate on the details happening in this scene) but ultimately decided to leave it as is. In this line of dialog, Bo is (accidentally) misgendering Vinny, who has changed pronouns since the last time they've spoken. Shay is (gently) correcting them. I wanted to illustrate how in this world the idea of somebody transitioning (or otherwise changing their gender presentation or pronoun usage) is seen as something relatively unremarkable. If or when Bo encounters Vinny again, they might they might congratulate her on her new pronouns, but the news that Vinny is using she/her pronouns wouldn't interrupt the overall flow of the conversation Bo is having with Shay.

Anyway — it’s my turn to make a comment that is much longer than I expected. Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. It really does mean a lot to hear what other people think of my game. <3

Ooh so Bo and Ben were misgendering Vinny! Showing people making mistakes on  transitioning  is nice to see, it is a purely natural thing that doesn't show in visual novels often. Best of luck with the bugs and thanks for the reply :)
