"6,000 browser plays and 700 downloads" gosh im so proud of your success Carrot! Those are some big numbers and it's so cool to see you grow more and more as a VN dev :D Especially after hearing how downcast you felt about your game numbers: I think that's a bit of a struggle every VN dev can identify with (and man I really resonated with your words of how, at the end of the day, it's YOU who cares about your characters the most, therefore as long as you care, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks because YEAH it's your story you want to tell and tell it you shall~ especially if it's the one thing making you happy then creating something like this is just,,, the best,,,)

im writing this very late at night so i might not be entirely coherent rn but fghjgfhj reading your devlogs always gives me such feels because it's really neat to hear your experiences with Devving TM and how important your games are to you (and it feels inspirational as heck ngl!!). You always show such love and passion for OW and your stories in general and it's just nice to see you taking different approaches to OW in this jam from a cute date to a spooky DND-esque adventure~ Like I feel like you have such much passion flowing into your projects and something about that is just??? so cool??? to me???

I got to say i'd be interested in that animated menu tutorial! I know you already showed me some of the code before but I think seeing it step by step in a visual manner would be really cool??? so seeing a little tutorial devlog or video or whatever you choose to do would be something i'd sign up for for sure ngl

I SOMEHOW MISSED THIS COMMENT??? LKDJALKFDSJA I swear I didn't see this in my notifs... I don't know what is wrong with me πŸ’¦

THANK YOU SO MUCH THO?? "I think that's a bit of a struggle every VN dev can identify with" --> This is so true. What with the fact that we're all tiny devs anyway, coupled with VNs already being pretty niche. It can so often feel like this monstrous uphill battle trying to get any sort of momentum. And even then, you can keep trying and trying and trying forever before it feels like you're doing more than shouting into a void. Though I do think part of that makes us even more resilient in a way maybe. We already know it's somewhat niche going in, but we do it anyway. And not only that, but we do it because we have these stories to tell that we absolutely have to let out. And often that are really personal to us??? Idk. I could be talking out of my behind, but I do think VN dev in general feels very special somehow. And I love that there's such a great community of VN devs, too πŸ₯ΊπŸ’•

Ahhhhhhh... that means a lot GUHHH πŸ˜­πŸ’•I do really love this a lot. And I do love my stories and chars so much. Lately just thinking about Genzy has made my heart ache and my eyes well up IT'S REALLY BAD. I'M IN TOO DEEP. But I just love them with my whole heart GOD. I hope in the future I can not only, you know, finally finish the main game, but make more games too -- whether those are other small OW side games or new projects! I just love this medium of storytelling so much!!

ANYWAY THANK YOU AGAIN. AND I'M SORRY AGAIN FOR THE DELAY. And also I'm glad you liked the tutorial!!! πŸ’•
