Thank you so much! I haven't been able to stop smiling since I read your kind words. I'm so happy the game was worth the wait and brought joy to someone else! That's all I ever wanted from this project :D
That's also kind of why some of the art isn't that great. It's not my strong suit, but it's something I want to improve at. I knew that if I agonized over the art, I'd never get done, I'd get insecure, and I'd wind up never wanting to show it to anybody. Learning to accept the flaws in my art, I think, has been a big step for me.
My sister and I tried to catch as many typos as we could, but I'm not surprised we missed a few. I don't intend to lose sleep over them. Even if someone did get me a list, I probably wouldn't do anything with it at this point unless it was really substantial.
Alright, so the best end actually extends off of the good ending. The epilogue plays like this: Good end-->Romance or Friendship end-->Best End (if you've met the requirements). In order to get the best end, you need to see all the maxed stat scenes (combat and friendship) in chapter 6 (maxing combat AFTER that chapter won't count). The good and romance/friendship endings don't change, but if you chose a romance ending, then the best end scene varies by a few lines here and there based on who you chose.
There are technically four bad endings, but you'll only ever see one in a playthrough. The game checks survival stats in this order: Vane-->Groriu-->Kameckt-->Makani. So for example, if Vane's survival stat isn't high enough, then the game ends there in a short scene, you get the Bad End cg (there's only one cg--it's the same for all four characters), and then that's that. You never even make it to chapter 8.
No worries about the length, I liked having so much to read and think about, thank you so much for taking the time! And thank you for playing and loving the game too! :D :D :D
