AHHHHHH I played The Game TM and im kind of shocked this is less than 1k words?? Like,,, it feels like you somehow put more words in (but in a good way!!!) because I feel like i clicked every option trying to get the good ending (I may or may not have chosen the Bad Options for Funsies first lol) and also just to enjoy Genzou's little "shit shit shit" drift across the screen

I can def tell this is a self-indulgent project bc like wow you put so much effort into everything from the gui to the visuals to the coding and workarounds of the limitations and ahhhHHHH im just impressed you just put this much work into it so fast!! Really feels like im roleplaying Genzou to talk to Iggy which feels so odd??? Because im so used to seeing things from Iggy's POV so taking on the role of Genzou somehow feels enlightening??? Also Iggy just,,, freaking out at missing Genzou's birthday makes me feel guilty for choosing the "talk about birthday" option over the "nothing" option the first go around (but also ahhhh it was so sweet how Iggy was just freaking out and Genzou's all chill about it like "no problem i get that" because Iggys' relatable as fuck in this regard and seeing Genzou react that way was just A+++)

also I really like the ending scene!! I was trying my best to get it bc i know it existed and awww it was cute!! love the use of snow particles for the atmosphere and also how the main menu changes when you get the correct option (and the little visual changes like when Genzou calls Iggy or goes "shit shit shit" like gfhjgfhj im a sucker for the effort you put into this ahhhHHHH)

(also!! just as a PS!! if you're worried about the web version breaking i played through on that edition and it works perfectly!! didn't encounter any problems whatsoever ^^)

LKJAFLDSKFASDLF IT DOES FEEL LIKE A LOT IG. It could be because I tried to squeeze as much as I could into shorter texting-format phrases. Also there are some places where I use variables for repeated/looped parts, which helped a bit, too. I painstakingly kept track of the words in a Gdoc as I was going and had to keep editing down some parts or deleting the extraneous word here and there so I could expand on other parts that felt like they needed more weight alkdjfad The forced pauses also make things feel a bit longer in general perhaps,,, 🤔

"I can def tell this is a self-indulgent project" --> ALSO BECAUSE IT'S JUST PURE GENZY FLUFF LAKDSJFALSKDFA But thank you tho ahhhhhh,,, I used a template for the base messaging system, but kept adding more to it because I wanted to make it feel more realistic to the point that there's like 4-5 different things happening on the screen that you can't even see but that are happening behind the scenes LOL I-it required a lot of troubleshooting lfakdjfa

"Because im so used to seeing things from Iggy's POV so taking on the role of Genzou somehow feels enlightening???" --> LOL IT'S TRUE. This is the first time I've ever done something in a different POV than Iggy's (or third-person), so I did wonder how people would take to it. I thought it would be kinda fun and cute though kinda spinning things around,,, 🥺💕

"also I really like the ending scene!!" --> HHH THANK YOU. I had hoped it would be a sufficient little "yay!" moment for people for getting to the end ldkajflskdf ~~and of course not at all just me being even more self-indulgent and wanting to make a very cute and sweet scene that fits my exact aesthetic alkdjfasld~~ I-I'm glad you enjoyed it 😭

Thank you so much for playing ahhhh this comment made me smile a lot and I loved hearing your thoughts!! Oh, and that's great!!! I had indeed been a bit nervous about whether or not it would work well or there could be glitches, but it at least seem to be working for most people, so that's good hahaha 🤣 Thank you again!!! 💕
