Your words mean a lot to me! I initially was concerned about my writing in the trial scene, but to my surprise, a good amount of players, especially other game devs, enjoyed that part and felt it was engaging, so thank you!
Yes, I do have an issue with the backgrounds as well. I have played around a lot with the colors, and it is somewhat hard to figure out what changes would not ruin the scene. I completely replaced some backgrounds between demo version 1.0 and 1.1 because I gave up editing the colors just so they won't mesh with the characters. In the end, backgrounds are something I need to experiment with, and it's great to have other people's opinions on them in order to correct the current backgrounds and decide for the future.
Thank you so much for streaming! And I didn't even know so many game devs in the chat enjoyed my game as well!
