Man… These notifications really do me dirty.
You can’t imagine how glad I am that that commentator happened to comment here, haha.
It’s also incredibly gratifying to hear that the game managed to capture your interest so quickly, especially considering how rather slow its beginning is.
So truly, thank you for giving IWM a chance all the way back then!
And I’m just as glad that you decided to share your thoughts here.
I still remember reading through your post several times.
At the time, comments that went into detail about the events of the game, personal interpretations, theories, and broader thoughts were quite rare. Frankly, they were almost nonexistent.
And encouraging exactly that kind of discussion was one of the reasons behind the direction I chose for IWM’s story.
I wanted the game to leave people with things to think about, and then encourage them to share their theories and the different ways they interpreted what was happening.
So when I first read through your post, it genuinely felt like I had achieved a little milestone I had quietly been hoping to reach throughout development, haha.
And what makes me even happier is that I was fortunate enough to experience that feeling not just once, but repeatedly throughout development, thanks to you.
Even now, with the game finally completed, I still have the privilege of reading and responding to your thoughts, interpretations, and theories.
And I cannot tell you how gratifying that is!
Can’t believe all my yapping was actually useful for once, haha.
And, of course, I’m always happy to hear whatever thoughts, theories, or impressions you may wish to share in the future!
I’m very grateful. Thank you very much!
Warm regards!
