Hmm, maybe it's not as bad as I thought then. I will still look into it though cos if there are any in there, it will be really frustrating for players who can't use a scroll wheel like if they're on a laptop or something >.< 

That's pretty darn awesome that you're both working on creating a game at such a young age though! Try not to worry about how long it's taking because if you stick at it, it'll all come together in time :3 I'm nearly 30 myself xD But because of my poor mental health, I'm not employed very often since companies here tend not to be very understanding of people suffering with mental health problems >.< They're not supposed to discriminate, but as soon as they find out you have autism, I'm pretty sure they just throw your CV away :( If I had a job with regular income, I could put the money towards game development, but because I don't, I'm completely reliant on donations to try and pay anyone who is helping me out. So far, everyone has been kind enough to volunteer their skills, but that can't continue forever cos it's just not right when they deserve to be paid.

I will get round to DDLC one day, haha. I kinda have a horrendously huge backlog of VNs, let alone other video games xD I want to start playing some, but my brain screams at me to keep working on things instead >.< I've actually managed to avoid a lot of DDLC spoilers over the years since I figured I'd play it someday, haha. I've heard some of the stuff that happens without full spoilers. I just feel like maybe it would lose its impact on me because I'm not likely to really care about the characters very much with them being cute girls x3 but ya never know! Actually, Undertale is another game I've never gotten around to trying (I'm terrible, I know xD)

But yeah, I don't mind you being insistent :3 It's nice that you're so passionate about em!

Well, I really want to try and be as inclusive as possible with my games :3 Sometimes it's kinda hard cos of the extra work that's required in adding different options, and when it comes to the art for player characters, I don't really have the option of including like multiple skin tones and stuff since I can't draw to save my life and have to rely on stock sprites or purchased generators >.< I wanted to just try and keep DD as gender-neutral where we never see the player character and have everything in first-person + the choice of sprites and voices for each character to give the player more of an option of what they wanna hear/see. But then I also realised that writing certain scenes in a gender-neutral way is quite difficult, haha. My own sexuality still confuses me though xD I think I'm ace/demi!

Feel free to ramble as much as you like :D I do a hell of a lot of rambling myself, haha.
