Aww this was really sweet <3 It was such a cute little visual novel, perfect for the start! I loved seeing all the characters in your art style, it makes them all look so soft and a little bit ethereal. 

Derek is the best boy and deserves all the happiness, so playing your little birthday addition for him quenched some of the nostalgia need I have for replaying the whole game. Thank you for that :)

Keep up the good work! I'll definitely be playing again when you update  and maybe even in between. I'm sure you'll go on to do great things and I am excited to see them :)

Of course you should take a break for your birthday!! And celebrate yourself in the way you want whether that's a party with family/friends or just taking some time to relax and maybe play a game instead of making one for once :) 

I hope you enjoy your birthday week! Stay healthy and happy, we'll be waiting for you to be back :)

I really love the entire game. I don't know how best to put it, but Cove Holden has been a comfort character, Sunset Bird and the whole gang my family for difficult times and really didn't think anyone could ever give my best boy a run for his money - (his 20 Dollars if you know what I mean). I liked the Derek DLC, he was nice, I already loved him in the base game and I had a good time with it, but I was not prepared for the thunder storm that would be Baxter Ward.

Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.

I love the monochrome man. He's been living rent free in my head ever since I played the DLC for the first time, I can't stop thinking about him. I find myself going back to the game time and time again. The DLC is pure perfection with the only flaw being that I really, really would've liked to spend more time with Baxter, Xavier, Jude, Scott and the gang.
Everyone was so authentic even with Baxter being a pompous precious ass he felt like a real person with real problems and so so relateable. While playing the base game I didn't really click with him, but ho boy was that different in his DLC. Everyone on this team deserves a huge congratulations for the story writing, the art, the voice acting, literally everything. 

I can't recommend playing this enough. You are in for a wild, but beautiful ride my friend. Allow the autumn storm that is this man to sweep you away for a little bit, you won't regret it.

Heyy, it's always hard to lose family and we all know that our dogs are exactly that, part of our family and whoever denies it is a damn fool... I feel so much for you <3 My dog passed away 5 years ago, but I miss her everyday... damn has it already been 5 years? Time passes so quickly. I grew up with her and she was my everything, so I know what you are going through and honestly, take your time to grieve and give yourself some peace, we all understand :) 

It must've been hard to have her pass away in your arms, but at least she knew you were there and that you cared for her until the end. She'll always be in your heart and one day remembering her will fill you with more joy than sadness :) I can tell you that from experience.

Take your time, take care of yourself and allow yourself to be sad, we'll be here supporting you <3

ahhhhh finally! IT'S HERE! I've been waiting so long for this, can't wait to play it <3

Keep up the good work! :) I am glad to see, that things are getting along so smoothly, and don't worry too much about the good things! Just enjoy them wholeheartedly :) because even if bad things are coming (and I mean, there are always some bad things in life), at least you enjoyed the good things and you have the power to endure the bad things. But you certainly do deserve the good things coming to you :3

Congratulations on your day job! That's so cool! And I know a lot of people that really like being able to play visual novels on their phone - myself included, nothing quite like a lazy morning in bed with a good vidual novel :D - so I am sure people will appreciate it coming out on Google Play. I know I am excited :)

I don't celebrate Chinese New Year (being European and all), but it looks like a lot of fun and a lot of work at the same time :D I hope you enjoy it, but that you also get to relax and take time for yourself :)

Happy New Year to you, too! May it treat you kindly and bring you lots of happiness :)

Hey, hun, I am so sorry to hear that it got worse, but should know that you are not a disappointment. Don't ever allow someone else to make you believe you are. Your mom is definitely so mad at him because she sees the fault in him and not you, you tried so hard to talk, compromise, find solutions and you are still trying to find the fault in yourself - you are so so compassionate. 

This is not your fault. And it's okay to feel empty and it's absolutely ok that you maybe don't know how to feel about all of this. The man you thought you would spend your life with turned out to be someone very different from who you believed him to be, that's incredibly hard. Take your time to figure everything out. Take time with your mom, the dogs and maybe talk to some friends, even if it's hard, but don't worry about us, we will be here, the entire time, patiently waiting and rooting for you! Like the comments before me already beautifully pointed out, we are here for you and we hope that you will do, what is best for you. If it is already such a relief to not having to face your mother-in-law then something is definitely wrong and you shouldn't be forced to deal with that forever. 

Ultimately a marriage is between two partners who need to compromise and if it doesn't work out for whatever reason, that is also between those two people. Everyone that cares about you and your well-being and understands your struggle would never even think to consider you a disappointment. You are just protecting yourself and that's so so  important! 

However, I do have to say, if you find a way to compromise, a way to reconcile this whole mess after all, we'll be behind you as well, of course. But in that case, make sure you can trust your husband and trust in your communication. We just want you to be happy, remember that <3

I really have to thank you for your weekly updates, I always look forward to reading them and seeing how far you've come. I really hope you and your husband can figure out your differences, I always feel like communication is the biggest and most important part of every relationship, but sometimes it can be hard. Maybe the time apart will actually help you and give both of you different perspectives or maybe you could include a third uninvolved person for more perspective? (Not like your in-laws or family, someone who is not involved in the problem at all?) 

I wish you the best of luck with resolving the conflict as well as your continued process on bermuda! And of course, stay healthy! :)

Take care of you and your family. I'm sure you'll get through this together! And don't worry about us, we're all rooting for you!

Ah well, sometimes the tech just doesn't want to work the way it is supposed to. Thank you for the fast answer, though! I will keep an eye out, hopefully everything will be resolved sooner than later :)

Yeah sadly I can't buy the DCL with paypal even though I never had that problem with the previous DLCs. Hopefully you can fix that soon! Still excited about the release nonetheless

Oh. My. God. Yes.

Yay *-*

I don't even know what to say. I downloaded this game because I thought it was going to be short, fun and a bit whacky and sure enough it turned out to be hillarious. But also heartbreaking, warm, relatable and absolutely lovely. 

First of all: Jazz is the best. Hands down. Best protagonist I've ever witnessed in such a game. She has so much personality and I think I might have found some of my new favorite swear words, ooopsie-freaking-macy-daisy. I love her. And her backstory broke my heart. I honestly cried during my first playthrough on  Carol's route. Especially the scene where Jin is comforting her made me bawl my eyes out. 

I also really loved Laby and his crying. Actually all of the family interactions were great, I could really feel the love between all of the families, Noct's and Carol's. It's amazing how well you captured family dynamics. The characters in general felt so fleshed out and each of them was interesting in their own way. I find myself wondering how their lives go on after the story and that is an amazing feat for a storyteller. I read every single bonus story and I'm usually not one for extra stuff.

The last thing that really got me was the representation of mental health problems. Oh my gosh, you did it really well. It was an integral part of the story while not having the whole focus just on how bad it is to have either depression or anxiety. Carol might have been a bit over the top with his furious blushing, but then again that is his character and I love him, but Noct's depression was just so spot on, I'm honestly impressed.

So overall I simply have to say good job. On one hand you made me cry very hard, on the other I never laughed out loud while playing a visual novel before and I have played my fair share. I really like your humour and story telling. So keep it up! I'm excited to see what you are up to next.

(Also if you behind the screen read this whole text now, this is a definite recommendation to play this game, if you haven't figured that out yourself by now!)
