Ah, I'm sorry I've been away for so long~! I'll get to answering your comments now :D First of all, thank you for playing the demo! We really appreciate it! (:

The first thing that really drew me to it was a protagonist whose power came from her imagination. (Hmm, I wonder why...?) I shed a mental tear when I read that her ability to imagine thoughts into being is dying/is nearly dead as she is growing older and seems to be losing her spirit. -sniffle- I think pretty much instantly you have anyone who has either been melancholic about the reality of becoming an adult and/or has been told they have an overactive imagination on more than one occasion supporting Siran strongly after reading this.

I played the demo, and though it was short, it made me even more excited about the full game! It also raised rather a lot of questions about the world in your VN, but I think every single one of them would require major spoilers so I will just have to wait for the full game. :) I'm eagerly anticipating seeing Siran develop as a character, I think she has the potential to be an entirely amazing character! She is definitely drawing me to this VN. As much as I am yearning to ask about the setting and world logic, I'll be a good girl and wait until it is released. ;D

The guys I am most drawn to would have to be Alcin(he seems very insightful and caring in a kind of emotionally detached way) and Eriond(you had me at FAERIE! *.* I love faeries!) I actually like Eriond's design the best out of all the guys, I think it is the most fantasy/magical themed of them all so I think that is probably why I'm most drawn to him. I really like his hairstyle. And his ears! (I have a serious thing for guys with pointy ears. I think it may be a problem.) And his adornments. And his skintone. And his wings... Basically I really like his design.

This sounds like an amazing world with interesting characters, and I'm very excited to be able to explore it! I wish you the best!
You're right about the 'major spoilers' thing xD It was kinda hard to make a demo that won't give away a lot of things that we want to keep hidden for now, so I decided to release a demo with just the 'prologue' to the game. Thanks for the comments on your overall impressions on the game, too :D (I'm happy Eriond has another fan xD) I'm glad a lot of people are giving positive feedback on this! :D Thank you for playing the demo!
VoodooVista wrote:Hello, I played the demo. I like the concept and characters so far. I think Siran and her friends are adorable. I do have one criticism: the white text on a transparent and light gold background makes the text kind of hard to see, especially with white or light colors in the background. I noticed one typo: "avoide" instead of "avoids" when it talks about Alcin avoiding looking at Siran after she decides to call Siri (not sure typos are really the main concern at this point but I figured I'd mention it). There's not much else I have to offer at this point, but pretty good considering there's still work to be done. I send get well wishes to your background artist and I'm looking forward to what you guys have in store. :)
Thanks so much! (: Yup, as someone had already commented, the white text on the yellow background's pretty hard to read... Thanks for pointing out the typo, too! (: I've weeded them all out, but it's nice that you want to help out with this. Yeah, our BG artist is getting better, thank you for the concern... Thank you for the support! :w

Art looks great, though the GUI seems kinda plain... Maybe some more detail to spice/liven it up? And yeah, white on yellow was kinda hard to read, but someone already addressed that. Siran's sprite is too adorable I want to hug heeeeeeeer. ≧(´▽`)≦ There's not much to go on from the demo yet, but, all in all, it seems very promising. At this point, I'm feeling like the bulk of the story might focus more on the adventure and that it'll largely be event-driven, but I'd just like to say that based on what descriptions there are so far, there's a lot of potential for the plot to be character-driven, especially with the dynamics between Siran and Siri and Alcin. There's some internal reflection scenes stewing in there, and it would be a shame not to tap into it, and it could work great with Alcin's path. (Unless I'm completely wrong about this being event-driven, orz. Then feel free to disregard this comment.)

On a side note, I would love to read it as a novel. @u@ Or is the novel version going to end up as a true path or something?

Anyways, I'll be looking forward to your final release! Good luck.
Hmm, it'll be event-driven, but will read more like a novel, I guess xD I really can't give away much more than that--sorry! ><
Anyway, the novel is finished, but I haven't uploaded it to writing sites. When the game is finished, and you're interested in reading it, I could send it to you (although it might seem mundane compared to the VN haha).
Thank you for the support! ≧(´▽`)≦
