Thank you for taking the time to post such a thoughtful comment! I do not think it was harsh at all. On the contrary, this is really helpful : )
To your comments:
Cosmetic choices - Interesting, I didn't expect players would want many of these, because they can seem "superficial". But seeing as I had another commenter bring this up, we will definitely look into adding more choices to the Prelude.
Really glad you enjoyed the demo and like the characters! The characters' routes (especially Aiden's) will give a lot more insight into why they are the way they are, and of course, show another side to them.
Iandir - I can see why you might think that. Perhaps I should have made it clearer in the demo, but centaurs have been bred to be companions to humans ... to the point of docility. His route would involve him learning to overcome that.
Voice Acting - Oddly enough, the voice for Iandir was the most difficult to hire. I do think we can work on improving the voice work/getting more inflection if we are funded, or possibly even re-voice, if necessary. But I did appreciate that his voice has something warm and friendly to it - which matters for the character.
Volumes - Yes, definitely something we plan to work on. For the demo, I worked on the sounds myself, but if we're funded, we plan to work with a sound engineer (we already have someone in mind). I'm sure that will make the sounds more balanced/
I appreciate the support! The Indiegogo campaign should be out this week, fingers crossed that we are successful :D
In the meantime, if you know anyone else who might like the game, do share it with them! Thank you!
