Good morning,
first, I want to say thank you for taking at least 20 minutes of your time to give the game a chance.
Alxira expressed almost everything I wanted to say with the exeption of a couple of points:
1. This is a Visual Novel with 6 love interests inside a story narrated trought a slice of life narrative. For me, natural and detailed interactions between the girls, the characters and the protagonist are the key for a good story. I understood what you expressed and I can tell that this isn't your bread and butter, but telling that "nobody is here for the dialogue" it's a little bit malicious, since you're implying to pretend to speak for everyone here... And I can say 100% that it's not the case.
But then again, It's your opinion, man. You do you.
2. > "BUT this is clearly not a SOLO dev effort anymore like those initial days isn't it ? Plus you guys seem to have gothered quite the financial support through donations in itch or Patreon from fellow addicts , so there is really no excuse to hire someone who is capable to make some hand drawn imagery at least for the actual characters".
I don't know if you noticed the disclamer while you boot up the game, but the game is 100% free, that means no financial support and certainly no donations nor Patreons. (I really don't know why you said something like that out of the blue to be honest.)
I mentioned multiple times, this is a passion project.
Plus, I'm doing 90% of the work, so despite the completely free support from other creators, this is still a SOLO dev effort.
I'm sure there are a lot of FMG games on this site who can give you what are you searching for. :) Unfortunate that you didn't find it here.
Have a good one! :)
