Can't wait!! :D 

You should go for it! I for one, would be EXTREMELY excited haha. But no pressure of course! Life happens sometimes and sometimes inspiration takes you in a different direction.

Either way I'll be putting good vibes out there for you! 

Hey fam! Just wanted to pop in and say I've been replaying the HECK out of this game and it's still just. SO GOOD!!

I was also wondering if you were still considering making a sequel? I've been examing the ending to this one and the hints about what the next game would be like. Would it take place in the sky or on land? Or feature different races? Interesting to think about!

Anyway I mostly just wanted to say I still adore your game :) and I hope you're doing well! 

Crave is so cute!! I want to protect him and his doggo for sure!!

And idk if you've heard of bnha but Trigger reminds me of aizawa haha. He is also very cute!

Hey guys! Just played the demo and it was super cute! I was wondering if you're still going to work on this game now that Our Life has been funded (congrats btw!). Anyhow, thanks for making this adorable game! :D

Wow! This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out :D

Aww wow! Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I tried to put more of an emphasis on theme in this story so I'm happy I managed to get a message across haha. You made my week, you're so nice <3

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I missed this awesome comment! Thank you for taking the time to play my game and for liking my characters, it's fantastic feedback to receive haha. One of my main goals is to make the characters interesting, so thank you!

YESSSS GREAT GAME DUDE! 

After a few super fun playthroughs (which were interesting and surprising each-time due to the different scenes I chose) I got the best ending!  And I gotta say... I loved it. It was uplifting and warm and I'm glad that the four of them will go on to their next adventure. I enjoyed exploring their different cultures and how their perspectives clashed with each-other, but also how they overcame their differences to work together! And congrats! You made me fall in love with an eel haha.

Thank you so much for making it!  I had a blast playing it, and wish I could go back and experience it for the first time again :)

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
--Who is your favorite character and why?
I love them all, they are all my children, but i can't run from it... Makani and my snake boi for the win.
Makani my awesome daughter. At first, I was a little disappointed she wasn't more kickass in a physical fight, but then it made sense. She's determined and steadfast and a great leader absolutely, but she's no superhuman - she's restricted simply by her biology like the rest of us mortals haha. And eventually that made me respect her even more :)
Groriu's sarcasm was fun, but surprisingly that  wasn't what made him my fav. His unexpected nurturing and watchful side was! I liked his vulnerability and forever cultural misunderstandings with the rest of the group haha. I thought the relationship between Makani and him was really sweet :D
That being said, I really appreciated showing the relationships forming between the boys themselves and not just between Makani and the boys. It made them feel like an actual group trying to figure everything out. 
And gawd... Vane being the fanboy of the group is just. the. best. I love it so much haha. 

--What was your favorite moment from the game?
Difficult question. There are MANY TO CHOOSE FROM. As previously mentioned, I enjoyed every scene with my snake boi. But there were so many others as well - like the whale scene, the part where everybody stood up for Vane, braiding Groriu's hair, the end fight (you super creeped me out with the carab pena btw lol). There are probably more I still haven't seen because of the choices I made! Can't wait to play the game some more to find out :)

--Any advice or critique I should keep in mind for the sequel/other future games?  (other than having more reasonable release goals)
hmm not really? All of the following I'm going to talk about now is just going off my own hopes and dreams haha so feel free to pass this section by!
I wouldn't have minded showing off Makani's independence a little more but i think that's just a personal preference, and probably hard to do when she's also wired to be a part of a community. And just to add some more picky personal preference stuff (which im only mentioning because i keep thinking about it 'while walking to work) is that its my hardcore headcanon that she's got a sickass scar and walks with a slight limp now because COME ON. She got pretty messed up by that shark!
ok thats it ill leave you alone now haha

--Any other comments/concerns?
I have a couple of questions too!
By the end of the game, I was kinda surprised that not much was done with the corruption stuff, and the mysterious end scene in the best ending threw me for a loop. Will this stuff feature in a sequel? 
Are you planning on doing a sequel? And if so, will it continue to feature these guys as the protagonists?
And HOW OLD ARE THEY!?!? I previously thought they were all around the same age, but something Groriu said made me realise there's no real basis for that assumption like at all. ples im so curious now

oh geez thanks dude haha. Thank you so much for playing! 

aw thanks a bunch for the lovely comment! And yeah having more branches in the story would have been cool, but this was my first game so I thought I'd keep it small haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

All good :) Take care of yourself!

Thank you for the reply! Can't wait for the full game :)

I had a lot of fun with it! I love stories with interesting creatures and cultures clashing together, and reading the interactions between your characters was a lot of fun! I  like how different the characters are from each other - they're all very distinctive and unique and will no doubt create some very interesting conversations with each other haha. 

I hope you don't mind, but I have few questions too!

Where’s the best place to check for updates?

How’s the production going so far? 

How do you pronounce all their names? 

-Anything unclear that you wish had been better explained or would expect to be explained as the story goes along?

Not really. There’s obviously a kind of mystery going on, but I’m sure that’ll be revealed eventually.

-What expectations do you have based on the premise, description, and demo?

Hmm currently its giving off this awesome cross country/ocean trip with four strangers from wildly different places haha. I love characters that are different species and have unique cultures!

-Do you like Makani? Is she a protagonist you're willing to root for?

I like her. She’s responsible and thoughtful, but I think her flaws are especially interesting in that she’s also reckless and fiercely independent (which can also be good things in my book, just maybe not when taken to the extreme).

-Got a favorite character?

Vane and Groriu are my current favourites. Loremna'tat as a species seems like the most interesting (I love deep sea creatures haha, plus the whole matriarchal thing going on is super cool) and I've always had a soft spot for dudes with a bit of attitude lol. His perceptive side is unexpected but extremely welcome! Vane reminds me of a princess but I think that’s cool! He’s obviously intelligent, if a bit pessimistic haha. I'd love to find out more about his family and species!

Kameckt's enthusiasm is endearing but he’s just a bit too pushy for my taste. But I'm willing to give him a chance! I think he could be a good friend to have if he ever starts considering other people’s feelings before charging in lol.

I love how all the characters have flaws with strengths that balance them out. They’re an interesting cast that I'd love to spend more time with!

-Would you want to play through the rest of the story?

Yes yes yes!

-Anything that just needs fixing?

Some sentences read a bit awkwardly but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the vn. You’re doing great!
