Hi there! This is Hollowrose. I still use twitter, though have been admittedly quite quiet. Feel free to send me a message there! Otherwise my Gmail is Hollowrosestudios@gmail.com.

Apologies for the delay! Yes, there is a "text to speech" support option (press v on keyboard or through the options screen accessible through mouse or keyboard).  The game is also written so that visual descriptors of scene changes and actions are described so that the voice-to-text speech captures scene nuances without requiring the viewer to rely on visuals alone. The game is playable through using only the mouse as well, with choices accessible through arrow keys (up and down) and spacebar to select. Aside from these aspects, for those with less severe visual impairments, the game contains different font options (Arial, Hyper legible and OpenDyselxic), with various options for spacing and font size for further legibility. The text box is white with black colored text to allow for high-contrast/clear reading. Options are also highlighted with high-contrast colors to emphasize their selection.  In future games I look forward to advancing my programming skills to add even more accessible options for gamers of all abilities.

So excited for this!!!

Got it; I've updated the files so you shouldn't run into this issue again! If you saved right before the end of the epilogue you can pick up right where you left off (in the new download). Feel free to let me know if you come across any further issues here!

A ribbiting tale of amphibious proportions.  If you're thinking about trying the game out . . . hop to it!

Congrats on all your hard work! :)

Hope you feel better soon! Being sick and doing schoolwork at the same time sounds like the pits, so please take care of yourself! And congrats on the progress you've made in spite of all this.

How exciting!!! Def trying out the quiz. 

Woohoo!! 😄✨😄 Congrats on the updated demo release! I love the trailer and how it shows the characters interacting with each other (also, agree on the excitement for Vanessa - love her sprite!). 

Oooh! Thanks for the recs! For the sparkles, I just copied and pasted the premade animations in Canva onto my still images (and exported as gifs). The animations are available in Canva's Instagram and Powerpoint template slides, but they can be isolated when copied/pasted. 

Thank you for being so sweet and encouraging! 🥰 As a solo dev, these types of comments really make my day.

I really enjoyed playing this game! Loved all the characters (Reggie has my heart though) and thought the concept was unique and well-executed. 

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks so much for your support! 🥰

Thank you for the feedback! I finish all drafts with the intention of revising them  (and will hopefully find beta readers to find moments like these), so knowing this is really helpful. I'll revise Adrian's introductory scene with your comments in mind! 

Thank you for reading! 😭 I'm excited to share more updates on his route development. Hopefully, I'll have a lot to talk about in my next devblog. 😄

Thank you! 🥰 I'm really enjoying writing these characters and can't wait to show more dialogue snippets!

Woohoo! Congrats! 🥰

Woohoo! Excited to see the updates :) 

Thanks so much for your support! 🥰

Thank you! 😄 I'm so excited to show what I've been working on all this time, haha. Still a little ways to go though . . .

Joseph told me 'It's going to be okay' 🥺 10/10.  This was such a lovely demo and I'm really excited to see how the story develops. All the characters are memorable and the art is beautiful! 

Ahhh, I'm so glad you enjoyed the demo! 🥰 Thank you for your kind comments (and I look forward to releasing the full game - hopefully both Logan and Adrian will continue to impress you)!

Wow! ❤️ Thanks for reviewing my game! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  

Thank you! I'm glad the demo was relaxing and I'm excited to see which guy ends up being the most popular when the full game releases, haha. I'm also glad the angle I took with the NSFW content appeals to you (and that you're implementing it within your own game too!). I wanted there to be options for all types of players. ✨

This story made my heart feel warm and cozy  -  a healing romance indeed! I especially loved Yrsa's character and found her backstory compelling. I'm so excited to read your future works! 

Thank you so much! 🥰 

Looking for a calm, romantic game for your tired, burnt-out heart? Well, look no further . . .

An Everyday Love's demo just released! Check out the itch.io page here. 

The game follows a customizable protagonist as she learns to fall in love and trust in the people around her. You work as a tired marketing assistant living in the city who unwittingly begins a new chapter in her life after her boss gives her a new assignment at work. As you interact with others, you'll learn more about their secrets and in turn, reveal your own vulnerabilities in hopes that you'll be able to grow together.

For more info, feel free to check out my twitter and patreon!

Hi! I'm really excited to play this game, but as soon as I purchased it, I was given a notification that the file was damaged and unable to be opened (mac version). 

Loved the medieval setting of the story and the beautiful art! This was a really fantastic first game.

This was such a sweet and unique game! Thanks so much for your hard work in creating it. I'll definitely be replaying this story over and over. 

This is a really cool game (downloaded from the bundle), but the mac version crashes on me after five minutes of play. Any insight on the constant crashing? (I'm on the mac High Sierra update).

Really delightful demo ~ I had so much fun with the story and characters (all written SO well)!  I look forward seeing this project progress. :)
