thank you!! 2024 went by painfully slow but way too fast if that makes sense??? I am so glad I discovered therapy and anti depressants. And I love shouting at the rooftops for everyone to take care of themselves. I am on a good path for 2025. Thank you for sticking around :)

Hey! Thank you so much for playing and for this comment. I love hearing thoughts from everyone, good and bad, and I really appreciate your sharing yours! Since it's early game, there are many decisions that won't show up for a while but it's definitely my intention that choices should matter as much as they can.
I definitely intend to further flesh out many characters, both LIs and others. Just like MC, they have likes, dislikes, pain, happy memories, etc. I want people to enjoy the story whether or not romance or friendship is involved. One reason I'm so so so slow with writing is because I try so hard to capture that character's voice and make them unique and true to themselves. The first version of my demo, I got a lot of comments that the characters flirted the same. That was good feedback because it was unintentional. I had to really dig deep into their psyches.
Anyway, sorry for the long response. If you read all this wow. Thank you again for taking the time!!

Thank you, cottoncandy. <3 I appreciate your kind words and for your patience. It's very much appreciated. The coding is already in place for this game, it's just that I need to finish writing some of the demo. I do hope to be able to do that soon. But yes, mental health is really important and I'm doing my best to get it sorted. I hope you will be able to do the same. Sending you lots of care and positive vibes!
as someone who loves playing IF, I get the feeling. But speaking for myself, I didn’t pause working on the game because of “asks drying up”. I have around 100 asks that have been sitting for months because I have too much going on. I’m barely holding it together and my therapist said writing is pushing me further the wrong way so I stopped writing for now because I actually want to get my mental mindset right so I still wake up tomorrow and the next day and the next. I understand your frustrations but every author putting out games, especially the ones that are free or will always be free, has a life and things happen just like they do to everyone. I’m extremely sorry for disappointment I have caused to anyone because I haven’t provided a demo. I do my best to pop in and let people know I am not MIA but I’m not prefect. Did I make a mistake many authors make and put out my new idea without a ready demo? Yes, yes I did. Does that mean I will never release the demo or game? No.
Wishing you the best.
Thank you, that's very kind of you. I also hate when games are WIP lol. Feel free to message me on Tumblr or Discord or email me at vi@vwpublishing.com and I would be happy to provide advice for Twine. But yes, as someone else stated, many authors have free resources on their blogs. This is still a WIP, but I do have a spreadsheet here with some resources: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/9/d/15vgEwV8lOyYZPM-BF61zkO3HAxKOSBDdT7-2...
hey! I’ll take a look at the coding this weekend. The option is still there! I did change how attributes work so I might have just messed up the variables. You do have to do something particular to get that choice. Let me check and I’ll come back and tell you what has to be done :) I think you have to have either the deception or suspicious attribute but I might have messed up that on the backend so I’ll check!
And thank you so much for playing and for showing your friend! That means a lot to me <3
