ManlyBadassHero found you - 

These tracks are great! I love them. Only issue is that the soundcloud preview link is dead, so you can't try before you buy/download.

Top notch tho. I have a couple of projects coming up that these are perfect for!

Are you a traditional pianist, or did you use a DAW? Either way, brilliant work.

10/10 definitely reminded me of how it felt to go to the store in person after quarantining for like, a year. And hey, you finished a game! That's something!

"Never give up on your interactive stories. <3" I'm gonna carry that in my heart for the rest of my life. ;_; Since reading this comment (and thinking about what to say for an entire day), I felt inspired to sit down and break through my writer's block. I joined a few different narrative-based jams and I'm working on a few projects! Actively! There are actual words on pages for once! You lit that fire in me. Thank you. <3

I'm glad you're planning on creating more games. Like, extremely glad. You're a fantastic writer! I think you have a lot to offer the world and I'm excited to see what's next for you. I wish I had something more articulate to say, but it's 4:13AM and my last remaining braincell is in freefall.

:O MORE LIFELINE? :OOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS AHHH THANK YOU <3<3<3 I HOPE YOU GET TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN TOO!! 

Y'know what? I just checked your portfolio and I feel like I put my foot in my mouth a little! You ended up firmly positioned in the arts after all. That's... well, even MORE encouraging. I loved the Lifeline series and Whiteout was one of my favorites! You did a great job. You're absolutely awesome. I have discarded pitches on my Google Drive from back when Lifeline Universe was accepting submissions. I guess you could say that you inspired me!

Anyway, thank you for the kind words. I'll do my best to make time to indulge my passions. I wanna be like you when I grow up, haha.

You should be able to use one of the Linux releases on your Chromebook. You just have to go into your Chromebook settings and opt into the Linux beta.

Back during my short-lived stint at art school, I used to cry every time I did my homework. I'd do it in 8-hour nonstop stretches because I had procrastinated so badly due to my mental health issues. Having to do work that would be critiqued and graded made me so anxious that I couldn't function. I got bad, coped in ways I'm not proud of, etc.

Just now, I accepted a job at... a fast food restaurant. Part time management after I get trained up. I'm going back to school for computer science after I settle a debt that I incurred 100% because of my procrastination and mental illness. I always thought I'd be a writer, but now I see a future of screens and lines of code. Life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, but that's okay. Your passion doesn't need to be your livelihood. Sometimes your livelihood can just be a means of being able to comfortably pursue your passions.

You didn't get to animate Saturday morning cartoons, but... you created this. You touched people's lives with your work, stirred up emotions and memories in your audience (which, as I recall, is a tremendous feat).

Thanks for creating this interactive essay. I really needed to see this. I've been feeling really lost. I'm 26 and I'm just now figuring my life out.

Is it okay to use other people's asset packs? Like, if you bought a license, have permission, etc.

Your antivirus software will just say it contains a virus because the program is unsigned. It costs a lot of money to "sign" a program, so most indie developers don't do it. You won't get a virus from this game.

Hmm, I don't think I can do spoiler tags here so uh... SPOILER WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANNA READ-

But uhh, so I avoided pretty much every nice-looking town and shelter and path. I just took the scary-looking paths. Had three unicorns, two spiders, four snakes. I saved a snake and came upon my destiny, but I didn't use it. So she thanked me and decided that she wanted to tag along with me and learn a thing or two.

It was very sweet. Also another playthrough ended with me giving her a horse. I haven't tried to kill her yet and at this point I like her too much!

Oh, please consider including that option in a later update! I'm the opposite of the playtesters in that I love to take dozens of pictures in games to sort out later. For me, half the fun is sorting them out and finding my best ones! It might be a good option for people who tend to fixate on the same place for longer stretches of time.

Anyway, thank you for the beautiful and meditative game you've crafted. Wonderful experience.

I made all of the "wrong" choices and got a very pleasant ending. I'm really happy with this game! Eventually I'll play through it again. This is something I can see myself returning to.
