Thank you for the feedback, Tanxui! Unfortunately with STELLA being a story without any sci-fi or fantasy elements, I think it is more difficult to create any interesting "hooks" aside from well-written characters and interactions to keep people engaged. Where I lack in a setting without those fantastical elements, I hope I can make up for with more deeply-written, realistic, and lovable character dynamics and personalities.
With this being the introduction of the game, its world, and its characters, I hope I can write future updates with more engaging and enjoyable situations, conversations, and dialogue in general.
Wow! This is actually very helpful feedback, Di! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out to share with me, and I appreciate the kind words too.
I think given this is a game without any sci-fi or fantasy elements, it's bound to feel slower than other AVNS. I plan on making up for that with characters and writing that feel more believable, "alive", and enjoyable.
Good point on the continuity error with Alice. This was an oversight, and it will be fixed!
I really like this feedback about the "a few minutes later..." screen. I agree with you that it gets quite repetitive, and other phrases like you've shared keep it more interesting. I will definitely be adding this to the next patch of 0.1 and all of my future updates from now on.
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out. I sincerely appreciate you helping me make STELLA a better game with your feedback born from care and appreciation 🧡
Hmm, that's strange. I am honestly not sure how to resolve this either since I am not familiar with the Itch App. I've uploaded the exact same .zips and .apks on all these download links, and I didn't check any weird settings while building these distributions. Sorry about this!
thanks for the support, razz! and thank you for the heads up about the Mediafire Android link. I just tried reuploading it fresh, but it seems MediaFire does not like the .apk file of this build. I guess we'll have to avoid that link for now.
