Ahhhh OMG, reading this comment put the biggest smile on my face!! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment!! <3
First off, talking to you guys like this means the absolute world to me. I never want to be just a distant dev behind a screen, we're building this world together! I take every word you say to heart, and honestly, knowing you guys are right here experiencing every twist and turn alongside me makes every bit of hard work so worth it!! <3
And speaking of Mac... you hit the nail right on the head! Mac is definitely the kind of character who knows EXACTLY what he’s doing and why. He is someone who actively plays his own game and pulls the strings behind the scenes. So if he ever does anything... you better be sure it's completely intentional!
I absolutely LOVE that you brought up the scene with Danny! The goal with Mac was to flip that classic trope on its head, make him completely unpredictable, and give you that intense tug of jealousy and tension. To be completely honest with you, I was really hoping that exact effect would happen if the player was interested in him! So hearing that it pulled you in so emotionally and made you want him even more means the world to me, truly!!
...and who knows, maybe making YOU jealous was part of his plan as well? ;)
I’m also SO glad you enjoyed his interactions with Jules despite them being brief! His route is definitely more of a dark, complex slow-burn compared to the others, which is why there were only a few scenes in the demo. But the full game is going to deliver ALL the Mac content you could ever want! There is going to be so much friction, tension, and intensity escalating from here on out. If his brief appearances gave you that much joy and panic, you are in for a wild, intoxicating ride. In my personal opinion... he’s only going to get dangerously more captivating from here ;)
Thank you again for being so sweet and supportive, it honestly made my day!! Can't wait to share the full game with you!!! ^^
