Y'know what? I just checked your portfolio and I feel like I put my foot in my mouth a little! You ended up firmly positioned in the arts after all. That's... well, even MORE encouraging. I loved the Lifeline series and Whiteout was one of my favorites! You did a great job. You're absolutely awesome. I have discarded pitches on my Google Drive from back when Lifeline Universe was accepting submissions. I guess you could say that you inspired me!

Anyway, thank you for the kind words. I'll do my best to make time to indulge my passions. I wanna be like you when I grow up, haha.

I'm so glad you enjoyed Whiteout! It was my favorite project at Big Fish! Never give up on your interactive stories. <3 I'm currently unemployed again (got laid off in September 2020) so I've been trying to reinvent myself too. Mainly I want to make more games and post them here on Itch. I was so delightfully surprised by how well this game has been received, because I originally made it just so I could vent my experiences and reflect on my journey. Seeing comments like this really makes me want to create more. <3

Also! I heard through the grapevine that there will be more Lifeline games! Check their twitter: https://twitter.com/lifelinegame I'm hoping I might get to work with Adams and Blue again, but even if I don't, it was an experience I'll treasure forever (I even have a Blue plush on my couch, haha).

"Never give up on your interactive stories. <3" I'm gonna carry that in my heart for the rest of my life. ;_; Since reading this comment (and thinking about what to say for an entire day), I felt inspired to sit down and break through my writer's block. I joined a few different narrative-based jams and I'm working on a few projects! Actively! There are actual words on pages for once! You lit that fire in me. Thank you. <3

I'm glad you're planning on creating more games. Like, extremely glad. You're a fantastic writer! I think you have a lot to offer the world and I'm excited to see what's next for you. I wish I had something more articulate to say, but it's 4:13AM and my last remaining braincell is in freefall.

:O MORE LIFELINE? :OOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS AHHH THANK YOU <3<3<3 I HOPE YOU GET TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN TOO!!
