SORRY FOR THE SLIGHT DELAY IN MY REPLY LDAKJFADSFA I've been busy with family stuff and now I'm trying to get caught up 🤣💦

LDKJFALDSFAD I... it sounds like you enjoyed the night chat scene? I think?? 💦 I-I mean. At this point in the game and with everything they've gone through, Iggy has no problem putting his head on Genzou's shoulder. (I mean, if you want him too, of course LOL since it's entirely up to you if you're trying to get the Genzou/Iggy ending.) Iggy does enjoy comforting touch and being close to those he is comfortable with (in this case, Genzou). And in Arc 2 he even felt strongly enough about Genzou that he wanted to kiss him (even if it was just a very soft tiny kiss LOL). My intentions with Iggy were never that you should feel guilty if you want him to be with someone, he also has the possibility to very much want to be with someone (he just doesn't like, you know, going further, or at least it would take him quite a long while before he'd feel ok with it). He is ace but also biromantic! S-so please don't feel guilty for choosing the options where Iggy is close with Genzou!! 😭💦 The Genzou/Iggy ship in particular warms my heart to an immeasurable degree, they give me so many warm feels and I love them dearly and I think about them every second maybe who can say LDKAJFLDS

"you really drew a lot of new moves and standing paintings for Orlam" --> LOL YES LKDAJFAD I-I went a bit overboard maybe... 💦

And hahaha yes! I wanted to make sure I addressed the, uh, elephant in the room, being that there was an arc where Iggy very much went along with Orlam and none of them know this (and Iggy himself is extremely regretful but has never had to really "face" it until this moment, so he kept putting it off).

" why, why do you always scare me more than I expected" --> LDKJAFLDSKFA I'M SORRY 😭💦 Th-this arc is definitely the most intense of all those that came before it. Ok parts of Arc 4 may be similar... unsure. But maybe since Arc 5 feels so "fresh" with everything being so completely new as opposed to the looping path, it adds a bit more intensity lol.

Ahhhh I'm very happy you liked the music!! I was really happy with how the music all came together. I'd had a number of songs already chosen or some general vibes I knew I wanted already in my head when I started working on this part. But I also have to hope that I'll be able to find the perfect song for the vibe that I want. So I always spend a lot of time searching and listening to tons and tons of songs before I'm able to find everything. But this part in particular had a lot of memorable songs I feel LOL

HHHHHH THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PLAYING?? I hope despite the intensity and the conflict and everything you were still able to enjoy it 💦 THIS WAS DEFINITELY A VERY INTENSE PART 💦💦 But I felt like it was necessary to get the Genzou/Orlam dynamic/arc/whatever you wanna call it to its climax, especially considering it's been slowly building up throughout the whole game hahaha 🤣

Thank you for your lovely words, as always!! 🥰

Please make sure all is well with yourself and family stuff first!💦

From the perspective of CG scenes and injuries alone, I don’t think the scenes in Arc5 are truly more intense compared to the previous ones, even the scene with a bunch of mosaics in Orlam’s room, or the scene with Orlam’s heart bleeding, or the scene where Genzou’s finger was cut... I'm sorry for my unhappy comment on tumblr about Genzou's finger, hope it didn't bother you. The reason why I reacted so strongly was that even though the scenes in Arc3 and Arc4 were more intense, Arc5 could still clear all physical damage with all chars' rebirth, but there would be no next Arc after Arc5 to eliminate physical damage. So even though the cut off finger was much "lighter" compared to being eaten twice, I felt much worse.😭

And in my comment above, there is a part about "Didn't it go down, right?!!". This part is because when Orlam forced Genzou to tell him what he disliked about Orlam, if I stood from Orlam's perspective, I'll feel that Genzou had always been The act of keeping silent is simply because he wants to go against Orlam. As mentioned before in the game, I as Orlam, will think that Genzou wants to show that he is stronger than me so I am so worried that Orlam will actually chop off Genzou's arm in a fit of anger...😢

Then I want to say that in Arc5.15 it is obvious that Carrot has spent a lot of effort, whether it is cg, animation, moves , standing paintings, or the real emotion you invest in each character, which is great! This is also the reason why OW is one of my three most important games. The emotional content present in it is very complex and real, and there are many authentic expressions (as a non-native English speaker, I need to think carefully to understand🤣).

As for the reason why I kind of don’t dare to choose more options to get closer to Genzou, apart from Iggy’s consistent dislike of physical contact, it’s more about my own fear of “getting closer”. I feel like I’m moving too fast. I’m afraid this act will push others too hard. Mainly I don't want to see any of them get hurt, mentally or physically.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the last part!! And hope that Carrot can handle the family stuff and become more relaxed and not be tortured by stress any more. Well,, stress is sometimes good stuff, but just don't let it break you, OK?🥺💕(Also let me say it again, the new cg and music in 5.15 are really awesome!)
