LOL I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMMENTS. dkfjasdfas thank you as always for all of your lovely words and also for playing the game and I'm sO GLAD YOU ENJOYED THIS ARC LOL. I had quite a bit of fun with it, I admit, evidenced enough by the fact that I drew so many CGs for it lol.
The montage was such a delight to work on despite it taking forever to draw all of those detailed CGs hahaha. I really enjoyed how their relationship ended up turning out, despite how fucked up it is lol. In my head, I see it as kind of a queerplatonic thing, but of course anyone playing is also free to interpret it however they want (I love people bringing in their own views on things lol). Whether or not Iggy would ever partake in Orlam's escapades is another thing I'll leave it up to the audience to decide on in their heads LOL I see Iggy as being somewhere between sex-repulsed and sex-neutral, being fully repulsed until he's VERY comfortable with a partner. So I give people rein to explore that dynamic in their heads if they want.
The thing I love so much about these middle arcs in general is getting to show more about each character and what's made them into what they are today, while also weaving it into the present-day Wonderland story. And also how each of his friends shapes Iggy in a different way.
I'm pretty excited to get started on Arc 4 production as I feel like it'll end up pushing every single theme that's been introduced even further. We'll see though once I actually get the thing written LOL As far as Genzou goes, Iggy at least will be done being mean to him after this arc (b-b-b-but I won't be...) Even though the main focus of Arc 4 will be Gidget, I feel like 50% of my planned story beats already involve Genzou, so he will a major part of it, too, hence why it's looking like it'll be the angsty love triangle turned up to 11 arc LOL
OH THAT'S A GOOD IDEA ABOUT AN ARC SELECTION SCREEN. I have a few QoL-type ideas I want to eventually implement by the time I've completed the full game, like a gallery, etc., and that would be really cool to do, too, so that people could jump to any arc they want to replay it. I'll def look into that!
Thank you SO MUCH for your words, as always!! It always makes my day!! And really really happy you enjoyed it! 😭🙏I was a bit nervous going into it because this arc takes some TURNS LOL but I'm glad that people are still enjoying the wild ride that is this Fucked Up Game of Mine lolol
