Sadly, I'm too incompetent to use Ren'Py atm T_T haha. I did try years ago, but just completing a tutorial project made my head hurt, then I stumbled across Tyranobuilder in a Humble Bundle and used that x3 Then I wound up getting Naninovel in a sale! I do wish I could use Ren'Py! It's just when I attempted it all that time ago, I found the programming side of things so stressful and headache-including that I knew it would put me off making VNs if that was how I had to do it >.< I have a lot of admiration for all the devs who manage to use it though! :3
Tbh, if they were available + I was rich, I would buy plushies of them all, but Mada would be the first one in my basket :D
I'm sorry you had to go through bullying yourself :( I sure as heck wouldn't wish it on anyone. I think it was probably thanks to video games that I even survived school at all xD I especially remember FFX giving me enough joy and escapism to give me the strength to do well in my studies despite the horrible social situation occurring at the same time!
Hell yeah, for the gallery :D It's totally understandable that you wouldn't have time to squeeze one into the demo cos with everything that's there, you did A LOT of work as it is, haha. That's great to hear we'll be able to go back and look at your beautiful art in the full release though ^-^ I will keep sending more good luck! You can do iiiiiit <3
