>Your dialogue and ideas are still hilarious
Thanks aplenty. I know jokes are going to fly well when I'm on the sixth edit and I'm still laughing at them.
>I still found myself gosling for a Reimu that doesn't exist
This brings me back to when I was drafting the first one. When I got to Reimu I was unsure of how I was going to sell her in cast full of very strong and unique characters. I knew a straight man type would fit right into the goofballs, but I also knew it would require a couple extra scenes to properly characterize her charm. I'm happy she's a favorite, and am still surprised it turned out so well.
>Just like the first time I played I was more than happy to sink hours into this game, ticking off tasks and immersing myself in the world and the characters. Such a great game.
I just love to hear that.
>One thing that I noticed only on my second playthrough was just how utterly depressing this game is, though.
Funny, I only noticed this after release. I was going for sentimental, but upon rereads I noticed the same thing. Honestly, it's something I've been self-conscious about, since a lot of my recent drafts have depressing undertones. I think it's because I've been writing a lot of works that serve as chadacter studies, and delving into the internal motivation has a lot of navelgazing
Even so, I think the depressing undertone works for Ninisanni 2. There's grieving there, what with the Ninisanni cast irl. As well as the idea of graduating high school and totally losing that super fun group of friends.
>I think the fact that you're unlikely to write book 3 just adds to the sorrow of that last point in a fourth-wall-break kinda way.
Yeah.
I would like to write a third one... I can still write the characters. But I also think I can make you fall in love with characters in an original plot. I have so much other stories to tell. One day.
>P.S both "Ninisanni Scenario" and "Dullachan" don't return anything on itch.io's search function. Know why that is?
That's just itch.io search being bad/blacklisting. Adult games don't show up on no accounts/sfw accounts. The search is bad with specific wording. And also itch.io loves blacklisting game devs because the mods are monkeys.
>Eagerly awaiting your next project.

And check back in a month a month or so, I'm nearing release for a new one.
