I'm quite heartbroken about Lyria ; I really liked her.
But if that's your vision, so be it. I'd hate for you to alter your story to pander to us and then lose interest or get fed up.
And that... I can respect. Because you also respect my own vision. This is a fine, fair, common ground. So kudos to you, friend.

THAT... is precisely what I am trying to avoid, something many do not understand. If I lose interest, get fed up, and then abandon this project?

Over what? For what? Just cause a single character? No. I don't think so. That is not happening.

Well, if 12 hours of content ain't enough already. You'll be waiting a long time :KEK:
It's not that! It's just that I have very little time to play and a huge backlog of updates :ROFLMAO:
For example, I haven't even had time to play Chasing Sunsets latest update, to name just one.

Not sure about Chasing Sunsets, I don't know what that is. I am Chasing Dawn, with 12 hours work on updates from fucking Monday to fucking Sunday.

That's what I'm chasing. :LUL:

dang 12 hours of content alot more than I thought for 3 chapters. Sounds like gonna be about 1/2 a week with how I play AVN's to get through it unless I get so into it I don't even take a break to play some regular video games lol. When I get around to this game that is

Anyways just now saw this is gonna be on steam without playing it i'm already planning on buying it im a sucker for fantasy / medieval settings and from the renders ive seen tells me enough that i'll like this without playing it lol. Plus you do seem like on of the better dev's being more active even tho I read you are thinking of taking a break from the zone. Nevertheless I do like how active you are with your fan base.

I write a lot, what can I say? Sue me. :KEK:

Active with my fan base? Wait, what? I have fans? :KEK:

But thank you man, I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it. And just cause I won't be about and around here, feel free to join discord. Hit me with feedback or anything you'd like.

Of course, your vision brought this to life ; plus it's common courtesy to respect each other's pov.

I will remain heartbroken about Lyria but I see no point in pestering or whining for her to come back ; especially if this spells definitive consequences for your enjoyment in bringing this game to life.

On a side note ; about Aria, you said she's to be more than a simple wife. Does that mean she's not to be romantically involved with Eliot, since she won't be one of the 2 wives ?

Aria is, and remains romantically involved with Eliot. Just cause they are not married by law doesn't mean they have nothing to do with one another. Aria has been with him long time, she played major part in all he did. Without her, things would be different by far. For example if not for her barriers justice guy would kill em all.

Such ceremony means little to her.

Same, I've got 4 or 5 updates I'm going to do (the rest can wait), but then this is the next new one (for me). The last 10 or so pages here has me quite excited to get going in a couple of days. :)

I get it ; wife in all but name and no value given for official rites. Plus her role as a magic prodigy.
As long as they love each other, I too won't give a shit about law or marriage :giggle:

I really want to like this. I like the setting and the characters (except the MC is a bit to grumpy and sulky for me). The problem is that for the amount of dialogue involved it really needs a better translation. It's incredibly distracting, not because it's 'wrong' most of the time but because people just don't talk like that.

I don't have the game open at the moment, but even what you just said - most people I know would just say "I don't understand, can you give me an example?"

Dude! Not everyone here has English as their primary language.

Perfectly fine, as I said, I can respect that. But I've had enough of accommodating anyone for **my** story anymore. As long as you can understand this, I have no problem whatsoever understanding you as well.

Thank you. Hope you find something suited to you.
I'm enjoying the game so far. I will note that the choices I've come across thus far have seemed rather pointless. Feels like "I want pork." or "I want pig meat". 2 options that are just the same thing, worded slightly different. The responses are usually either exactly the same, or again just one line worded slightly different. I can enjoy a good kinetic novel, so that isn't a big deal to me, but I'd prefer no choices at all to meaningless choices.

I have noticed that the customized MC name is ignored an exceptionally large number of times, though. That is quite immersion-breaking. Wouldn't hurt to do a quick search through the script for "Magnus" and replace them with [player_name]. After seeing "Magnus" about a dozen times, I decided to use URM's rename feature as a personal fix, so I don't know exactly how often it happens as the game goes on.

All that aside, I am enjoying the game, please keep up the good work.

Edit: Second paragraph was my mistake. Magnus is MC's surname.
