First of all, I think it's lovely how you take your time to reply to every single comment. I think your game has an interesting story with really eye-catching art, so it absolutely deserves the hype! (Oh and on a completely irrelevant note, someone with nickname Akitsuki commented, and when you were replying you wrote ''Akatsuki''
So I was going to ask, do you happen to watch Naruto? If yes, high-five! If no, still high-five 'cause I'm drooling over Reksa and you deserve one!!)
Sorry for that, now moving on to actual comments:
1. Which character stands out the most for you? Why?
Reksa. He is just... handsome. Hot. Apart from that, I'm not sure if I liked his character, but he seems interesting. I'd like to know what makes him so paranoid about potential threats; and in games, interacting with cold, cocky people is always fun. Anyways, I think it would be wonderful if we could debate with him about his life view. Like Fleet_commander said (cool nickname btw) he may be potential danger to those around him. How he judges people so quickly and thinks he has the right to do that makes me want to know more about him.
Other than love interests, Asih seems like a nice character. Her smile is so warm and cute ^^ Both face and clothes, I really liked her design.
2. Does the intro and the art so far interesting?
Yeah, i liked the intro, and it sure is interesting, just look at all the comments this topic got in a mere 3 days. Art is simply gorgeous to me since I like this drawing style. My only complaint about the art is Tamara's design. Especially when you compare her to Asih, her design looks a little dull. Most importantly, her sprite is good but seems like it's in a different style. When you look at the height comparison, Tamara stands out a little too much, like she doesn't belong to the same game with other characters. Sorry if I was too harsh or rude, I wanted to be honest and say it directly when there was something bothering me. (English is not my native language, so I don't know if it sounds too aggressive. If it's, sorry again) . It's just my personal opinion though, and it's not that much of a bother to me. I pointed that out because rest of the art is perfect in my opinion, I especially loved how their eyes are so expressive (and how they are all shirtless........). Well long story short, I am quite fond of the art and it makes me sad how Yuda is not obtainable. Because ALL of that gentlemen look really good and little details like tattoos or color shifts on their wings are beautiful.
3. What makes you consider to play this game?
Fantasy. Legends. Adventure. Romance. (And half-naked handsome men.) Could it get any better? And flying (with wings though, not something like planes) was always my biggest dream, so people with wings sound really cool to me. Your game has a ton of things I love, so I am really excited about this and can't wait to see its progress ^^
4. Last but not least, do you have any question or critiques? I welcome constructive criticism any time
Maybe you can see something that I miss or lacking.
...........Oops, so I was supposed to put my critiques here? I wrote all critique part at the second question though
I don't know if it counts as critique, but I think your text is okay. Just a proofread would fix it, don't worry about it ruining your game. But I do have one question, if you release the demo on December, when will the full release be?
I wish you the best of luck with your project. It's just two days left until Monday, I'm looking forward to your update too!
oh my gosh, what I noticed first when I read your comment was that >> Did you read all the comments and my replies? xD it's just- wow! you're so thorough at reading them and I've just realized the typo myself when you mentioned it!
So about my replies... I'm just sooo happy with the warm welcome you guys are giving me and my babies!
the least I can do is to reply them, right?
and to answer your question, high five! I'm a fan of naruto too xD I haven't watch Naruto Shippuden yet, but I read the new manga updates until chapter 286
LOL naruto sure knew how to surprise us, that reverse harem no jutsu really threw me off and I was laughing like there's no tomorrow xD
*ahem* so about the answers hahah
I'm getting sidetracked by naruto
1. awww Reksa you lucky bastard, you're really loved! :') well about him being paranoid, it have something to do with the 'war' happening *hint hint*
it will be obvious in the demo and he will be a hard person to deal with later. It depends on your choices
now I'm gonna stop before my mouth starts running again
and Asih, yes I love her design too, I guess I can tell you that her outfit was inspired from Bali Dancers
2. I notice that I got quite a lot of complain about Tamara's design xD But hey, it's okay! I really like the honest comments here
refreshing and really pushed me for the better.
Don't worry tho~ Tamara will have another outfit ready for when she interacts with the other characters 'out there' *hint hint*
Her design will be as unique as Asih's
But do have in mind that Asih's fashion taste is different from Tamara's.
wait for her update and tell me your opinion again later x) *though I'm concentrating on backgrounds for now, I'll try to spare some time on character designs too (I still have 2 major characters and 6 minor characters to make after all)*
3. lol, what about adding 'tall-black-and-handsome' to 'half-naked-men' with wings that can swept you off the floor ? better? xD
I'm so glad you like my VN so far xD
I think we share a liking about people with wings that is one of the reasons why I love VNs 'All is fair in VN, anything can happen'.
4. hmm, let's assume the VN is out in December.
I think at that time, I almost finished with all the backgrounds and character sprites (except the CGs) that means, I just have to spend more time in writing scripts. The story line is finished in my head (maybe minor changes here and there, but the main story for each character is already planned),
So... maybe in August 2015 the full game will be out (considering I wrote the demo script in 3 months + college and there's no errors in Novelty). This is just an estimation, mind you.
Also, this is my first time making VN with Novelty so let's hope there will be no hindrance in the programming. IF I can't use novelty, I will need to ask my friend to help me with Ren'Py.
Hmm, I think enough hints for now? xD
I have to say this is the first time I threw so many hints. Oh, how about try to guessing why Tamara's outfit differs from the others? and why changing outfit later in the game?
I hope it will keep you busy until Monday
Thank you for your feedback miss Bouki!
I really like how you write this review! It's so honest that I can't help but to smile
stay tuned and see you later!

Of the already posted characters... It's really a difficult choice between Reska (Because we share being a Libra and he's adorable) and Yuda... I'd probably marry Yuda... He's adorable and seems pretty strong. (He probably has something about him that I'd grow to dislike over the course of the game though. X'D That's how these things work for me...)
2. Yup. It's really interesting so far! I like things to do with various cultures and myths and this seems like it'll be executed well.
3. ... I will admit, it's probably the cuties... But, that also means that the art is executed well enough for me to realize that they're cuties.
4. The ???? guy seems a bit thick in the torso and his neck seems too thin... Other than that... Yeah... Focus on finding a proofreader and finishing quickly so I can drool over meet your characters! OuOb
1. Yup, good will come from him, just, don't hate him later in the game >_< he's quite hard to deal with in game.
and lol, too bad Yuda is already taken by Asih. I have to say kisa, you have a sharp sense. I saw your comments back in miss Aruise's project and you manage to make 'almost-right' guesses (with little words being said) xD
Well... I can only say that what your premonition is quite right with Yuda.
2. Amen! I can't hope for anything better than viewers enjoying the new cultures and story
3. They're cute? my babies are cute? aww, you're making me blush ^.^- thank you! again, I feel so happy that my mixed style got welcomed.
4. hmm, I was
trying to make him look thin :S but I see he still looks thick in some places (I just don't have the heart *sobs*)
*ahem*
I'll try to refine my babies again in the future and maybe when ???'s outfit finished, you can give me your opinion again
Thank you for your feedback miss Kisa
I hope I'll be seeing you again in the next Monday!
