Yes, maybe I did not express my ideas very clearly, when I said that if it is so necessary to have music, I should really say "specially selected or paid music"... in other words, it is understood that an animated sequence as in chapter 1 would be very strange in total silence.
Yeah, maybe search some free musice for scenes where is mandatory music, like cinematics, and doon't beat himself so much to get music for every single scene at least for now.

For me music matters a lot, maybe I'm alone in that respect, but when I play some VNs where it's completely silent, something is lost for me with the atmosphere. Being A DIK & City of Broken Dreamers are games where the music is done so well that it sets the stage really well for a lot of the scenes, both sex scenes and just story scenes. Hope things get resolved.

But, in the hypothetical scenario (not so hypothetical since the problems are big and the solutions would take a lot of time and money, money that WIAB does not generate) of not having the option, to go out with free music? to go out without music? or not to go out until the problem is solved?

Lul, I almost always mute VNs, especially when they use stock music or SFX.
LOL. Same. This reminds me of when I was playing Intertwined, which is a nearly completely silent game and the dev decided to drop one of the girls whispering "goodnight" in the middle of the game. I thought that I had the game muted (like I usually do) and was playing it in a dark room when Alexis whispered "goodnight" and I almost jumped out of bed and dropped my laptop. I thought it was an intruder or a ghost or something lol. I haven't been jumpscared that bad by anything this side of Birds and Bees.

It depends on the projected impact / delay. If we're talking something crazy like several months and upwards, then you release without music and hope you don't lose too many folks who are into the game. If we're talking a month, you delay release temporarily.

I honestly have no idea either. But this tag being there and knowing Ocean who would have removed it, I think it is probably a future tag.
I guess I'll just wait and see then.


Also, finally a VN where the MC is confident, looks like a badass, but is still a relatable person with his own realistic issues.

The MC looks... Extremely muscular, like a perfect tv actor... It's not that "I don't like it" but... I don't know, I liked him a little more when it was something like a "pov", in my opinion

I understand there was room for improvement, but that body seemed more logical to me at the time (the MC didn't want to look like Dylan! I could even say he hated him for what happened) Katie is a bonus, and it never hurts.:love:

And if it seems to me that the face was better, he should have done some adjustments and, if he wanted to, add the heterochromia.
And Helen is another bonus ;)

I don't think devs can add or remove tags, even if they own the OP (and this isn't even that case).
Horror is even in the OP's genre section, and it probably was there ever since the first 0.1. Maybe is was planned at one point but it never made the cut.

I can't believe I've never noticed the disappearing hand despite watching that gif multiple times :ROFLMAO:
