As someone who's been following you for many-many years, I feel immensely proud for you. Just downloaded Iris and I can't wait to open it. I am looking forward to seeing your characters and your wit that I have missed so much. Happy belated birthday!
Edit (two hours later): I am having a hard time deciding who to pursue in my first playthrough!!!!! Haven't had this much trouble since MO Ciel. I love them all! And I love you, Batensan! I hope you have a wonderful break and treat yourself to all the nice things you deserve.
Your stories and fluffy art will forever hold a special place in my heart. At the time I was in a bad place and struggling to heal after walking away from a toxic relationship. In my pursuit of escapism and fluff of the likes I did not have in my own life, I binged through every game and visual novel I could get my hands on, both commercial and indie. I adored your characters, your silly endearing puns, and how much love you poured into your work. I'm glad to see you kept at it <3
