Hello, thanks for the interest! To your questions:

> UI: Since the demo, I have made some UI improvements to the font and dialogue box area. It is best that you see how it looks like in the gif here:
https://tangodreamgames.itch.io/queen-of-hearts/devlog/262458/update-checking-in...

> CG gallery: Not yet, but my next update plans to include it. My next update will also include more CGs and other visuals, so feel free to hold off until then. Am hoping to get the update out by end-this year.

> Expressions: The love interests have different expressions and even some other changes (don't want to give too much away). Side characters have less expressions, while very minor/brief characters either have one expression or are served through silhouettes for now.

Since QOH did not get crowdfunding, hope you can understand that this is self-funded so we're limited in what we can achieve. Hope that answers things and helps you to make a decision!

Thank you for playing this one as well! And your 2nd paragraph made me laugh ^_^

That's good to hear - I certainly didn't want the characters' stories to be predictable. Super glad you enjoyed it!

It's really cool to hear feedback from someone who has played more than one of my games! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you, this was really encouraging to read, especially as I'm still working on more visual novels (as well as planned improvements to QOH).

Awesome, thank you for sharing! It's really helpful :D

Hello! Thank you, so nice to hear you enjoyed the game! Heartening too as we are still planning some future improvements.

SPOILERS

A few things are up for players' interpretation here: 1) What is the place they went to (Is it really Hell, or a hellish space that was created?) 2) Was that person really MC's mother, 3) If so, is she a demoness or perhaps she was posing as one? If not, why would the demoness get involved? Perhaps out of her own reasons - pity or disgust and wanting nothing to do with humans for example.

You have your own ideas and thoughts about it, I'm sure : ) Some things that are definitive - yes, MC is immune to the plague, and her mother did die of it . Other than that, things are kind of up to interpretation. 

If you'd like to share, let me know which was your favorite route and why! It helps to know what resonates with players. Thank you again!

That's the feel I was going for, thank you for the kind words ^_^

You're welcome :)

Hello! Since you purchased the game, you should be able to download the Cheat Sheet off the game's page for free. Scroll down to the Purchase section and you should see an option to download the file QOH Cheat Sheet.pdf

Alternatively, you can go into your profile -> My Library -> Queen of Hearts, then you should be able to look at the files available for download (which should include the Cheat Sheet).

Thank you for sharing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do agree and hope in future to work on and improve the game based on everyone's feedback : )

Thank you for the honesty, I’m sure everyone’s feedback on this will help me to improve. For the moment actually, I am planning to take a creative break. While Queen of Hearts means a lot to me, it took quite a few years to work on it and I have to admit that it was always an ambitious project. It’s probably best for me to step back and think about how to do better in future for now. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me : )

Thank you, your support means a lot! 

The cheat sheet should be available for download if you bought the game. You can try going into your profile > My Library > My Purchases > Queen of Hearts. It should be listed together with the game files. 

Hi! No, not particularly other than playing Aiden last (which should already be incorporated). 

Hello! This is something I am looking into for the future, hopefully. Thanks!

Gosh, that was fast! As to your previous point, yes, I reduced my initial planned number of CGs due to cost and time considerations. But if the game does well, I would hope to add more content  in future : )

Thank you for the kind words!

No worries, take your time and hope you enjoy it when you do get around to it : )

Thank you so much! The support from everyone has been very helpful : )

There are CGs for good endings!

Thank you so much, let me know if you need any help!

Hi! I will try my best but of course, it's important to take the time to polish things up. I wouldn't want the game to come out feeling rushed.

Hello and no worries, feel free to ask questions. Yes, in order to help cover development costs, the game will be paid. As I shared with another commenter, it will likely be under $10, and I occasionally take part in sales so do look out for those. 

Thank you very much for the positive comments on the demo! It's heartening to know you and others have enjoyed it.  Would love to hear who your favorites were if you're up for sharing! Anyway, we still have a bit of work left and are doing our best to deliver a great product with the full game. I hope to hear more thoughts and feedback from you on the game in future : )

Hi there, and thank you for the interest! The full script's word count is about 52,600, assuming a full playthrough of all love interests and including all choices/outcomes.

Thank you for the kind words, it's very encouraging after all the work we put in! Yes, I myself tend to rely on guides so I felt it best to provide one, and I'm glad it helped.

P.S. Based on your username, I take it you are a fellow Dragon Age fan! Ah, reminds me of the pain of the Solavellan romance...

Thank you! The artist is very talented indeed :D

Hello and thank you for sharing your honest thoughts! You know, you're right; it wasn't planned but Roxas does look like Gaston, gosh!

As I've shared with other commenters, it's unlikely that we will release with full voice acting as I had to scale down the game budget quite a bit. If the game were to do well enough, it would certainly be something I'd look into though. 

Progress is coming along well but we may still need a few more months to round things out, so I hope you will be patient enough to stick with us till then. To your question, the game will be purchase-based, though most likely no more than $10. Also, I do take part in sales from time to time : ) 

Thanks! I'll try looking into that.

Hello! Only the side romances (female side characters) are short as they were added later. It doesn't apply to Thrace, Kadan, Iandir, Roxas and Aiden : )

Hi Akinaba, really like your backgrounds but would love to get a few additional specific ones. Are you available for commission?

Thank you! We would love to do a full voice too, though it's not looking very likely at the moment : /

Thank you so much and I feel the same way. Our artist will be so pleased to hear it ^_^

Thank you for saying so! Indeed, we definitely wanted them to have personality and not be forgettable characters. After all, they matter to the story too.

Me too! We just went all out and had fun with it, thank you :D

Awesomeness! Thanks to you guys for being patient with us, it's really helpful to hear your feedback as we go along.

Thank you, we're excited with how things are coming along as well

Thank you Amberbaum, I think so too : )

Ah, yes, I know what you mean, I've played some VNs like that. That might be worth considering actually; thanks for reminding me of it!

Thank you! To your question, it's unlikely that we'll be able to implement voice acting for the full game due to the cost involved, sadly. However, if the game does well enough, we would love to use that success to get the voices back in. So, there's always a possibility in future, so we hope! 

I will let the BG artist know of your words, and glad that you guys are still following our progress! Thank you so much :D

Thank you for the kind words! ^_^

Loved the game, great writing!
