Oh. My. Stars. OOHHHHMMYYYSTARSSSSS!!! Your art is so incredible and amazing! The personality in your line work has me in awe! I love it so much! THANK YOU!
Agh, that's awesome XD
Thank you for taking the time to share all your kind comments about the game! It thrills me that you enjoyed it so much! I understand what you mean about the romance endings, the change was something I was a little iffy about, and that's why there's an implied time buffer of a couple weeks from the time Makani reunites with her family to the time the romance epilogues start. But an implication isn't the same as actually seeing something change, and I get that. I suppose I didn't really think about making it an option to get started on those routes sooner.
As for your questions:
--The sequels will have their own casts, but Makani and co. will absolutely cross paths with them and continue to play an important role in the series.
--Men in Groriu's culture often tie their hair back for convenience, but it doesn't carry a special meaning. Groriu likes to wear his hair a little looser than some, but also likes people to play with/braid it. Usually they keep their hair long, --it catches the light of their bioluminescence, making them more visible to their own kind in the dark, while also attracting prey that's too curious for it's own good. Short hair is usually only found in hollows around the rim, where cannibalism is more prevalent, as to not give foes something they can easily grab onto in fight. (side note: a woman cutting her hair short is a public declaration that she isn't interested in taking a mate).
--Kameckt's mom had a pack for a couple years when she was young before her crooked tail (scoliosis) started getting obvious. The decision was then made to put her with the Archivists, and her childhood pack either remained a group of three, or combined with another young pack that had lost a member too and became a rare pack of six. Archivists don't have 'official' packs, but they do tend to naturally group up in bands of 4-7. Kameckt's mom has some very close friends among the Archivists that she works with in a very pack-like way.
--Of these four, it's either the Mu'etti or the Ame'sol.
