[QUOTE]Love this post, every part of it.
Truth is, when we started the game we deemed it so specific and niche that we swore very few people would play it. And so, we just did whatever with the branding.
But somehow, the game started to get traction beyond our wildest projections, and our ideas somehow outgrew how we were selling them. But we were already too knee-deep into it to even think about changing things up.
You could also make an argument about our growing pains showing on the content, with the older stuff clashing with our newest skills.
But what we loved about this post is that the author feels like we can do much more, that we outgrew whatever little circle we put ourselves in.
And we’re up to that task.[/QUOTE]
I wonder if they will attempt story rewrites with updates, or is this just talking about a new game later

I don't know, man...
[QUOTE]There is a temptation, a great and dangerous one, for non-marginalized creators to never handle issues of the vulnerable and hurt. Some sentiments are well-intentioned, like the marginalized themselves needing more places and opportunities to speak and create themselves.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]And the creators embraced their status as members of “waifu” culture, and seemed either oblivious to or none-too-concerned to dispel it’s persistent mythos of female objectification, orientalism and fetishism of Japan and Japanese culture, and prioritizing the forced availability of both for consumption.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Is Alma’s breakdown over the frustrations over her sister’s continued involvement with her abusive husband painfully real, or another misogynistic tirade disguised by being placed in the mouth of a female character? Is the presence of so many queer woman a victory for representation, or just another way to contort a large cast to the personal preferences of the creator?[/QUOTE]
Is there really a need to witch-hunt every piece of media for the most inane nonsense? Do we seriously need to bring up race/gender issues in every piece of media to ever exist?
Claiming that the game 'fetishizes' the Japanese, or that it's 'misogynistic' is just silly. Come on, now.
got this game reciently thanks to the generosity of a fp member
only played for 1 ingame day but it's really cool
the start of day 2 mentioned about buying a holo-plant, how do I go buy stuff?
When you're at home chillin, there will be two tabs up top. One to go to work, and one to shop.

SJWs ruin everything, what makes this game any different? If the authors change their way of writing to fit some idiot's way of thinking, it'll be a huge shame.

"Oh look something is gaining traction I'll de-construct and invent issues."
Like what's the fucking point? This game is well written and there is no malicious intent.
I fucking love people that pull this shit. Spend all day criticizing something without offering a solution to the "problem".
You don't see them deconstructing big name games it's always aimed at these indie devs busting their ass trying to break into the industry only to be shot down by hacks pointing fingers. It's like people watch Fem Frequency and go "Yeah I can call people out to look good too!".
I really hope the devs stick to their guns here.
I guess I should get around to beating the game before they possibly change it for the worse then.

And hey, what's everyone's favorite tracks?
As much as I love the whole soundtrack, Snowfall is stellar and underappreciated imo [sp]but then again I guess the whole game is, so far anyways.[/sp]

I only wish that I don't have to pick 12 songs at the start of the level, but instead have the entire game playlist.
This way, it is easier to discover good songs, rather than accidentally miss out a few good ones because they are placed too far down the tracklist.
It already has got a media player UI so it should be easy to recognize and encore favorite tracks.

It's a short one but it has so much character (like the whole of the game, I guess).

This was always my first song in my playlists.
I like this song. It legit 100% sounds like a rip off of Maplestory music which is why I like it so much.

Is the soundtrack available to purchase yet
[QUOTE=Shenesis;50703264]It's in the game directory as .ogg files[/QUOTE]
But [I]owning[/I] it is different
[QUOTE=PrivRyan;50703255]Is the soundtrack available to purchase yet[/QUOTE]
It's been available since release. It's on their bandcamp.
Tbh their general website layout and stuff is really bad. It's impossible to find their merch store without getting a direct link.
just finished the game :ok: [sp]i got the good ending+ alma's, dorothy's and virgilio's, I was dissapointed you didn't get to see the New Year's party[/sp]
Listening to the music like this kinda makes me sad the game is over. Takes a special story to make you wish it'd last longer, but are still happy with how it ended.
It's weird because I wish it was longer but I know if it was it would be a drag.
Just bought the game blind, anything to expect?
[QUOTE=doomevil;50705725]Just bought the game blind, anything to expect?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Shenesis;50707074][URL="http://www.strawpoll.me/10742988"]who should be a foil badge v2[/URL][/QUOTE]
Aw, so little votes for Kira Miki. Idk why but I totally squee'd [sp]when we saw her the second time.[/sp] The lilium in general were pretty rad. Also I just found out there was a demo, it's just composed of the base game, right, not a specially made demo? Someone said something like that and it could be a little nugget of new content I haven't seen yet.

The demo is a short prologue not included in the main game. Mostly, it introduces Anna.
Anna would be a pretty good choice for a foil badge.
I still voted for Dana
