I'm literally smiling ear-to-ear this was so beautiful to read ;w;
You'll see Ryuji again! Don't worry!! ;w;
sldfkjsldf one of the reasons I made this game was because I wanted him to be alive at the end, I don't think you'll ever see any bad endings where he ends up dead even if I decide to add more branches into it haha
YES tbh I struggled a lot with deciding how his route will develop because I wanted to keep him alive and have the chance to redeem himself, but still keep him in character somehow. I think that's partly why his route ended up longer than Akira/Ren's moon route, because you're absolutely correct - I needed the player to see that he's grown, that you had an impact on him, not instantly, but over time.
Let me tell you a secret... The endings were abrupt because I was actually planning to have epilogues lol I couldn't make it to the deadline tho, so I ended up releasing without them, but hopefully I'll be able to add them in sometime!
I hc Akira/Ren having maxed out Charm since his first day lol Yeah I think in the original game the fact that he's a silent & blank slate of a protag, just made for the player to self-insert into his position, can make some developments feel a bit 'huh?'... So I was glad to be able to explore and imagine how his personality is in this fangame heheh
PS. Don't ever apologize for long posts! I absolutely love them ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Thank you for your kind words ♡
