I'm only just getting started playing this, having found it recently, but really appreciate what you've created here from what I've seen so far!
I see it's made in Ren'Py, but I'm curious what software you're using for the 3D models and background scenes, and the animation? If you don't mind sharing that is. If you would rather not, I understand perfectly there may be reasons to keep that information under wraps.
On another note, I wanted to bring something to your attention about the download for v0.55. I tried 3 or 4 times to download the Windows/PC release version from here, and though it appeared to work correctly and download fully, when I went to open the actual zip file, it was corrupted and would not load or extract like normal.
I ended up going to your Patreon page and finding the alternative download links post with sources from Mega.nz and Google Drive. I tried the zip file from Mega.nz and it worked perfectly on the first try, just like you would expect the normal experience to be.
It's possible it could have been an issue with my internet, but considering it failed on multiple attempts with the itch.io upload, and worked fine on the mega.nz one, you may just want to double check the zip file here, just in case others might be having issues too.
In any case, thank you for creating this wonderful work. It's very refreshing and enjoyable just from what I've seen of it thus far, and I look forward to seeing more of what the game has to offer as I get better acquainted with it.
