TWO PARTS HELP ALDKJFALKDSFA

Ahhhhh I'm so glad you like it so far!! 😭💕 LMAO I DO LOVE ME SOME HURT/COMFORT WEEP. I feel like if I'm ever gonna make something a bit fluffier than my usual stuff it's always gotta have at least a touch of bittersweet hurt/comfort to go with it as it heals my poor miserable soul dlkajdsf

LOL YOU GOT THE GAME OVER FIRST HELPPPP I don't know if I've seen anyone else that has purposefully tried to get a game over (besides my testers maybe lakjfdald) That is very funny to me. But yes it's nothing too extravagant he just can't go to the party LOL tho there is slightly different text based on what part causes Iggy not to go to the party....

Weeping I'm so happy you liked Genzou's convos 🥺 Genzou's convos (and ending/route in general) will always hold such a special place in my heart, maybe because he and Iggy's dynamic is just so precious and mildly cathartic for me guhhhh. So it makes me really glad to hear some of the convos (ESPECIALLY THAT ONE LAKJDFA) were very impactful ahhhh. I ALSO LOVE THEM SO MUCCCCHHHHHHHH I think every time someone says they love Genzy my heart grows like 5 sizes or something lakjdfa

SOB I'M JUST SO HAPPY YOU'RE ENJOYING IT SO MUCH SO FAR. It means so much that you'd take the time to write up all your thoughts lkadjfa reading them brought such a smile to my face!! I hope that you'll enjoy the other routes just as much whenever you have the time to play them!! Thank you so much always for all your kind words 🥰

SO IT TOOK ME MUCH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BUT HERE IS SECOND PART OF MY RAMBLINGS

Once again for general aspects, I FORGOT THIS THE FIRST TIME BUT BUCKS' RETELLING OF CINDERELLA I'M WHEEZINGGGGG

Also the "GET THE FUCK OUT OF BED!!!" LIKE YEAH IGGY YOU GO DUDE

ONE MORE THING I really find it so so cute that at the end of each route you get a little picture of them sharing a bed like awe and then you got the "stay in bed" option WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH ANXIETY (so something bad) BUT NOW IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH LOVE SO IT'S GOOD AND KJBFASJBJCKB I'M SO HAPPY I'M SOBBING and also the fact that each of them mention Iggy being asexual and having a little something to say about it (all positive of course :D), like Genzou being extra supportive and nice and accepting it right away, Orlam saying that he doesn't expect anything from Iggy if Iggy doesn't want to do it, and Gidget saying "you don't have to be ace to be confused about romance" JSKSJKSNS I LOVE THEM ALL THE ACCEPTANCE FROM EVERYONE FEELS LIKE A BIG WARM HUG

Now about Orlam's route

It was very fun (though ORLAM YOU AND YOUR SEX JOKES MY GOD) and nice 'cause yeah while Genzou and Iggy together is my favourite I still do very much enjoy the dynamics with Orlam and Gidget !

I love the way Orlam talks LIKE IT'S FANCY and a bit POECTIC and that's COOL but ALSO SOMETHING ELSE MAYBE THAT I CAN'T PLACE A WORD ON ??? BUT YEAH I REALLY LIKE THAT.

"That was a slash pos" TONE TAGS MENTIONNED MY BRAIN IS HAPPY

Oh he speaks French so that's why he likes being so classy with his words huh (/hj we French speaking people aren't as charismatic as most of the world population seems to think)(our insults are great though :D)

"j'ai du mal à dormir seul, est-ce que tu as envie de me tenir compagnie ?" ORLAM FRÉROT ? ON NE SORT PAS DES CHOSES PAREILLES COMME CELA VOYONS NON MAIS OH (I couldn't help myself but to talk in French SORRY NOT SORRY-)

"je veux faire des cochonneries avec toi" MY BRAIN IS NOT HANDLING THE FRENCH WELL EVEN THOUGH IT'S MY MOTHER LANGUAGE IT'S CONFUSED BECAUSE IT'S TOO USED TO ENGLISH NOW (Orlam CHUT ARRÊTE DE DIRE DES CHOSES PAREILLES BON SANG)

IGGY WANTS TO EAT PAIN AU CHOCOLAT MY DUDE ToT I'll go buy you some good pain au chocolat Iggy no worries

"I'm going to wrap you in tinfoil and bake you at 300 degrees until golden brown" ORLAM HELLO same though I felt that. Appreciate that text lol it's so silly :p

CUTE LITTLE FOX HAT AWEEEEEEE AND IT FITS IGGY SO WELL TOO

LMAO HIM BEING LIKE "oh yeah I'm totally just being super friendly like a super FRIEND haha" when Iggy says he didn't realize Orlam was "courting" him

Big or lil spoon conversation was cute hehe AND IGGY ARE YOU TOUCH STARVED (I am too buddy we are the same)(the more I play your games the more I relate to him is this good or not who knows)

ARCHIBALD II IS SUCH A CUTIE (*o*) (^o^)

AO3 AND FANFICS (AND FICTONAL CRUSHES FURTHER IN ANOTHER CONV) MENTION HELLO I'M DYING (/pos) AND ALSO AM VERY HAPPY

Him showing a photo of them both and describing it as "sweet" and "lighting a warm glow within the cockles of his heart" AREUGH

"axious little ace of spades" THAT WAS SO SMOOTH ??? ORLAM DO THAT AGAIN SOMETIME ???

Orlam being SWEET oh WOW. I mean it's not that I thought that Orlam couldn't be sweet at all but I may also have gotten too used to his psychopathic self in the main game lol- Though I love both aspects of him !

AND NOW with Gidget's route

It's all cute cute awe :D I feel like the relationship between Iggy and Gidget is quite different from the two others because with Genzou and Orlam their personalities are more... not really "extroverted", though maybe a tiny bit but also... A bit more "exuberant" ? (IT DOESN'T REALLY FEELS LIKE THE RIGHT WORD BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE-) Especially in comparison with Iggy ? And Gidget's personality is closer to Iggy, so the dynamic is quite different and so the way Iggy acts also feels different. NOT IN A BAD WAY OF COURSE but I just noticed this and I thought it was extra nice ! Also it's SO NICE to see Gidget being able to be themself like yeah people under the non-binary umbrella let's rise together !!! I'm all for it !!! I'M ON YOUR SIDE !!! I'M ONE OF YOU !!! And well the casual representation feels extremely nice, as well for the asexuality !

"you wouldn't last a day without your headphones" RELATABLE

Them bonding over their shared interest in programming after Iggy finds the trophy under his bed awwwwwwwww- Reminds me when he found the plushie he made with Genzou or when Orlam showed him the photo of them THEY ALL HAVE THEIR LITTLE MOMENT WITH IGGY-

"we will have our night of nerdy nostalgia" YES PLEASE DO I'D JOIN

"anxious as usual" REALATABLE. AGAIN.

GIDGET BEING A SIMP AND SENDING THAT MEME LMAO THIS CONVERSATION IS LITERAL GOLD

Cecil mentionned I REPEAT CECIL MENTIONNED WEEWEE YIPEE

IGGY WRITES FANFICS ??? THIS IS THE REVELATION OF THE CENTURY THIS HAS TO BE PUT ON THE NEWS IT- HE WRITES HURT/COMFORT. HE WRITES GODDAMN HURT/COMFORT. MY DAY HAS NOW BEEN PLAGUED WITH HAPINESS THANKS TO THAT FACT. (universe let my days be plagued with hapiness thanks to fictional characters more often please)

Iggy calling Gidget handsome MY HEART- THE VALIDATION- THE COMPLIMENT JUST IN GENERAL-

Also I know you said it wasn't possible to get red hearts for everyone but uh my brain is stubborn so I tried to get the highest stats possible with everyone anyway and I GOT NEW CONVS !!! Specifically I GOT A NEW CONV WITH GENZOU. Specifically the one with "you ass ain't that bad. platonically of course." GENZOU HELLO ??? I know you definitely did not mean that PLATONICALLY. ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU REPEAT THOSE EXACT WORDS (the "platonically of course") AT LEAST THREE TIMES YOU'RE NOT HELPING YOUR CASE

AND I ACHIEVED GREEN HEARTS WITH EVERYONE ! Still got game over lol since Iggy didn't feel comfortable enough to go to the party with anyone BUT IT WAS WORTH IT FOR SCIENCE

Oh well I wrote an extra extensive comment again why am I even surprised at this point-

So once again and as always GREAT GAME CARROT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY JUST YOUR GAMES ARE GREAT NEVER STOP MAKING GAMES IF YOU WANT TO DO SO I LOVE YOUR GAMES !!!

Take care of yourself and I'm impatient to play the next thing you release ! :D

HHHHHHHHHHHH reading this made me so happy!! I'm really happy you continued to enjoy the game with the other routes!! Your candid reactions and comments are always hilarious and brighten my day ldkjfalsdk 😭💕

"I really find it so so cute that at the end of each route you get a little picture of them sharing a bed like awe and then you got the "stay in bed" option WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH ANXIETY (so something bad) BUT NOW IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH LOVE SO IT'S GOOD AND KJBFASJBJCKB I'M SO HAPPY I'M SOBBING" --> WEEPINGGGGGGG I AM GLAD???? I really wanted like a little final "treat" at the end for each LI, mostly just because I hate ending things so I like to delay it as long as possible and also as a reason to sit through the credits, etc. This idea just felt so cute and perfect and fit with the rest of the game so well lkdadfa so I'm really glad you liked it 🤭

"also the fact that each of them mention Iggy being asexual and having a little something to say about it" --> Hhhhh I'm glad you liked that, too. I wanted it to be slightly different between all the LIs simply because their dynamic is so different?? Like, I knew I wanted Iggy to already be out to Gidget, since it just seemed like something that would have happened in this timeline what with Gidget also being very out and active in the queer community, which would have made Iggy a lot more comfortable talking about it with them. With Orlam, Orlam is so good at reading people that he's able to guess even without Iggy telling him. And with Genzou, Iggy feels awkward and weird bringing it up just in normal conversation because it's not the type of thing they typically talk about, but even though he's not able to say it outright, they kinda dance around it and Genzou ultimately understands even in not so few words and is accepting of it. (I think this also kinda meshes with the 3 LIs involvement/experience in LGBTQIA+ spaces, with Gidget being super active in the RL queer scene, attending events, going to meetups, getting involved; Orlam being well versed in it particularly from an online perspective but not being incredibly active in RL; and Genzou despite being out to his friends and family is much more private about it and also isn't involved in much of anything online and definitely not in RL besides occasionally trying some dating apps and forums).

"I love the way Orlam talks LIKE IT'S FANCY and a bit POECTIC" --> It's certainly something... kadjfalskd

DLKFAJDSLKFAD THE ORLAM FRENCH PARTS I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY AND ALL RIDICULOUSNESS that convo is so off the rails... I don't imagine that he is fluent at all, but I do think it was something he took in school and enjoyed a lot so at least tried to keep up with it a bit 🤣💦

"he more I play your games the more I relate to him is this good or not who knows" --> LKFDJALSDKJFALSDKFJA

"I feel like the relationship between Iggy and Gidget is quite different from the two others because with Genzou and Orlam their personalities are more... not really "extroverted", though maybe a tiny bit but also... A bit more "exuberant" ?" --> LOL NO THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO PUT IT. Gidget's route feels much more down to earth to me. (Except for a few convos where they go a bit off the rails LMAO.) I was partly worried about this at first as I was afraid people might not like it as much, but I've had a lot of people say they specifically liked Gidget's route so that made me really happy ldkjaf I just really wanted to show how different each dynamic was and the different ways Iggy himself acted based on that dynamic.

"Also it's SO NICE to see Gidget being able to be themself like yeah people under the non-binary umbrella let's rise together !!!" --> Sob sob I was really so happy to finally be able to write Gidget the way I knew was their best and true self in my heart, it was rather cathartic tbh 😭💕

"IGGY WRITES FANFICS ??? THIS IS THE REVELATION OF THE CENTURY THIS HAS TO BE PUT ON THE NEWS IT-" --> LKDJALSDKFASD SOBBING. I had a lot of fun thinking up random new little tidbits about Iggy to show in this game when I never had the opportunity before teehee

"ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU REPEAT THOSE EXACT WORDS (the "platonically of course") AT LEAST THREE TIMES YOU'RE NOT HELPING YOUR CASE" --> WHEEZING

"AND I ACHIEVED GREEN HEARTS WITH EVERYONE !" --> OHHH!!! SOB I'M REALLY GLAD!! Then you were able to see the special convo with the whole trio 🤭 I honestly wonder how many people will be able to see that, as you definitely need to actively trying to talk to everyone at once without worrying about anything else in order to get it LOL I don't know if you also tried the other various convos, but there are also some hidden convos for each duo, as well (getting Gidget and Orlam both to yellow, Genzou and Orlam both to yellow, Gidget and Genzou both to yellow). I really wanted to make some fun secrets for people that may try different things in the game even if it means sometimes that not many people will end up seeing them in the end LOL

"GREAT GAME CARROT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY JUST YOUR GAMES ARE GREAT NEVER STOP MAKING GAMES IF YOU WANT TO DO SO I LOVE YOUR GAMES !!!" --> WEEPING THANK YOU SO MUCH??? You don't know how much that means!! I put so much of my heart into my games and chars so seeing that people would enjoy them so much and be able to connect with the chars and get some joy out of them really makes me so happy. It's literally the most a game dev could possibly hope for!! 😭💕 So really thank you so much!! Not only for playing my games but for your support and all the time you take to write up these lovely and fun comments that always bring a smile to my face. It means so much!!! 🥰
