THANK YOU SO MUCH CHATT, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOSING MY MIND A LITTLE BIT AT THIS COMMENT AKLDJFALKDS I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE LITERALLY DUG INTO EVERY PART OF THE GAME LMAOOOOOOO weeping slightly... /pos 😭💕
ORLAM DATING SIM HELPPPPPPPP
...tho I suppose I can't really deny it lakdjfs
Gosh having you mention all the tiny little things I did is making me melt inside like a giant pancake. Especially as so much of those are the types of things you don't really expect anyone to notice (or at least not actively kkdjfad). It means so much hearing you say such nice things about them... I don't have a whole ton of confidence in my general GUI and game design skills, so I'm always a bit worried it'll end up looking super rough or weird, especially compared to so many devs that have absolutely GGGOOOOOORRRGGGEEEEOOOOUUUUSSSSS GUIs (including yours AHHHHFD ALSDKHFALSDKJFASLKDFA ) so that makes me feel even more doubly triply filled with joy... 🥺
"this entry was full of IMPECCABLY written banter that was so fun to read and chock-full of character at the same time" --> WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME I'M ALREADY INERT LKJDALDKJFALSKDFJ
Hhh and I'm glad you liked the animation and effects!! I'd never done anything quite like this before, using the BG to actually simulate movement and such. And the text effects were new, too GOSH I JUST WANTED TO TRY SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. I'm really happy everything was able to come out in the end and be cohesive and look ok.
"Oftentimes I am blinded by Genzou bias because of how good he is for Iggy" --> ...that definitely.... wouldn't be me.... either........ NO NO NO I KID I LOVE THEM ALL EQUALLY. I do have a Genzou soft spot though for that same reason. EVEN THO I DO WANT HIM TO GET BETTER AS A PERSON. AND STOP BEING SO MUCH OF AN ASSHOLE. Even tho I know it's hard for him. And I feel so bad for Orlam too. GOD.
"Even though they're so horrible for each other, the past history and their relationship really is heartbreaking...the hurt they caused each other can never be undone." --> THIS SENTENCE JUST CUT TO THE CORE OF ME 😭💦 I feel the same way. I love their (horrible) dynamic and exploring it but also it's so incredibly heartbreaking for me... (I say despite literally being the one to put them through it...................... /whoops) There is just something about very messy relationships that fascinates and intrigues me I suppose. Also I clearly enjoy pain and wanting to inflict angst upon my heart, so.
OMGGGGGGG YOU ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT THE ENDING NAMES LKJALKDSJFAD I AM SO HAPPY?????? I honestly didn't think anyone would, but I wanted to do something mildly clever for those just in case anyone might know or be bothered to look it up. Gosh tears in my eyeballs.
