Hei Nightfable,
thank you so much for your very detailed view on you further plans with this game.
I'm so excited for all updates and I definitely will follow along your journey.
I really appreciate all the information you shared with me. Please know that english is not my first language and I can't always express myself the way I want. So in case my reply is short at some point it is not because I don't care but rather because I dont know how to reply properly.
But besides that, I wanted to let you know that people who hate an a game and/or the dev behind it only because AI was used, simply suck.
As you said, you are a mom working alone on this game. There is absolutely nothing to hate about. In fact I think you did an outstanding job, putting this game together so beautifully.
I don't get why you shouldn't use a tool (and imo AI is nothing more than that) to bring your vision to life.
I didn't even noticed you used AI. I constantly was stunned by the beautiful artwork and knowing you used AI, doesn't make you game less valuable. It is still beautiful in any way.
So please don't listen to such people. <3
Oh, and one last question. Would you be comfortable with me sharing my playthrough with the otome community on reddit? I bet there will be a lot of lort fans who aren't aware of this game.
I don't feel comfortable sharing it without permission, since you experienced quite rough feedback.
With all this said I really hope you keep working on this project. 😊
