Ohhhhh!! This was so absolutely lovely so far! It was a wonderful little prologue to set the tone for the rest of the story, and I'm so intrigued now as to whether this is going to somewhat follow the Beauty and the Beast Tale or if it's going to veer off completely (especially as I noted inclusion of other fairy tale references already, so I have no idea lkajdfad)

The visual and GUI were so stunning! I loved all the use of animations and how delicate everything felt. Truly like the pages of a fairy tale storybook! And the use of the watercolor BGs was wonderful! It created a very soft yet immersive vibe for the story.

The story had me giggling a few times already, especially with how Julian apparently likes to name everything as A, B, C, etc. 🤣 It was so silly!! Also the inclusion of the German words made me laugh a little bit kjasdaf

So curious now who the old man is that Julian mentioned, as well as what Brielle's role will be in the story 🤭 A beautiful and compelling start so far! I'll be so excited to see how the story finishes!! 😍

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH THANK YOU CARROT!!!!!!

Well, the base of the story is beauty and the beast (for Julian) and The little mermaid (for Brielle), and since Julian is more our protag for this (though he witches sometimes with Brielle later on), the story is really more beauty and the beast. (But definitely, some other fairytales will inspire the plot!)

AND OH GOSH I'M VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU LOVE THE ART.

(Honestly I was worried for the art. I got the idea at the start of December but only got to writing and finalizing the script until December 26, so all the art was really rushed! I had to just manipulate stock photos for the BG and then focus on the GUI and sprites so I'm really relieved!!!!!

(I'm happy you enjoyed how Julian names the bats hahaha! It will have significance later on, but lol the major reason is that I'm the same hahahaha, I named my Harvest moon cows Moo A, Moo B, Moo C or Choco A, Choco B, or just plain Cream or Milk.

(I am VERY bad at naming stuff afcdgscdgcf)

(For chickens I named them Chee A, or Omelette A)

And Aaaaahhh!!!! I still plan on updating the demo btw!!!! The full planned demo is 9k words!!!!! And I wanted to finish the scene Brielle was in but it was already 3 hours before the deadline for me so I had to cut the script. But hopefully I release the full demo by the weekend or by Monday! Aaaaahhh I'm excited about your thoughts then!!!!

Thank you again Carrot!!!!!
