This was amazing! I loved it! For most of it, I had a huge grin on my face. At certain parts, I was misty-eyed. The parts where Yrsa was talking about the people who judged her and how it felt... God my heart, I've been in a similar situation... except in my case it was emotional "strength" where I wouldn't cry or show any emotion other than happiness. My partners would get mad at my inability to open up. I open up pretty easily online, but... it's easier when you can't see someone judging you. Anywho, I love this game! I am so glad that I found it!
You're right, strength and vunerability are difficult to express. In my opinion, it's even more difficult when you're writing it in a story because you have to make sure it hits that proper note, and yeah... it's much easier to be open with your feelings when you're leaving a short comment.
Not a problem! I can't wait to see them again in Heart Sigil Elchemia! By the way, is Heart Sigil Elchemia going to remain free?
Writing stories is just hard in general, admittedly, but I'm always very happy to hear that people have engaged with my story in ways that've helped them :D
I'm planning for Heart Sigil Elchemia to be paid eventually, given the scope of work that will need to go into it, but I'd like to release a pretty significant amount of content in either the extended demo (or even a full-ass free route) before that happens! So keep an eye out :o
I get what you mean... writing takes a LOT of work. I write stories/novels for fun, although I want to make a career out of it eventually. Unfortunately, I haven't finished a single one. Not because I don't want to, but I run into a lot of writers' block and I just can't find my way around it. Anywho, I can only imagine how much more work goes into a project like this.
With that said, I would appreciate a free route or game, but I totally understand having to pay for it as well as the reason for having it cost money. Unfortunately, I would be unable to pay for it currently, but hopefully in the future I will be able to. Anywho, thanks again for the amazing game!
