Ooooh, I like it. Haha.

Haha, hate is such a strong word. :3 I don't hate them, but I kinda dislike them too! I like characters whom I can relate to, haha, which is why my fave visual novels are otome (I'm a girl who likes boys after all) and why I love horror stories (I don't get scared easily so I like being scared haha!) and also why I like protagonists who are simply... not perfect. :D I am perfectly imperfect as well, so I too, dislike Mary Sues and their utterly perfect selves. :D

That's okay, I'm actually quite easy to please. Hahahaha. XD

As for the PG rating... this is a commercial game, right? If so, upping it is fine. Hahaha. And even if it isn't, it's still fine I guess. Hahaha. =)

That's good then :) Would have been terribly disappointing if the name was bad XD

Hate is a appropriate word for my feelings. And horror games are awesome (though I'm terrible at them) Anyway, I think we've gone slightly off topic here XD

Hmm, see, I don't really want to up it, but I feel like because it's going to be commercial game, I have to cater to the audience more. It's not that I can't write r-13 of even r-16, but it never really felt like it should fit in this particular story. But I want a few people to throw their opinions in as well before I make a decision :D

I love Slice of Life games. They can be so relaxing. And it's awesome that you're mixing things up to by making it BxB.

1-As for the character they sound pretty good. I how diverse they are. What I love about Ted is that he likes video games, but sucks at them. That sounds life me XD. As for my favorite character, I like Anna. Even though I was never gothic like, I didn't really get along with many people and I always wanted to be a writer, as still do today.

2-Though not my fav, I think Filipa sounds interested and I like how she's Spanish. I guess it's because of what she does maybe that makes her sounds so interesting, or how she acts with things

3-That depends on what you are going to do with it. For now it seems to be fine the way it is, but if there's going to be some dramatic or rather gory stuff then maybe a bit higher. Still, I think it's fine as is, but it does seem that might change as you write this

Ahh yes, it's actually quite relaxing working on this, so my hopes are this will be a very 'casual' game that even non-visual novel lovers can enjoy to a degree. It gets a little less relaxed at the end, but not horribly so XD

And that's interesting, Anna isn't actually my favourite, but Filipa, I guess we had a bit of a swap there :) (also, I need to be careful with favourites....)

No gore will be in the game, I was referring to upping the rating in terms of *ahem* semxy content.

1. The characters all seem good so far! One thing I'd like to know a little more about is their quirks and flaws- what makes them tick, what motivates them, their wants and needs. Or maybe you've already worked that stuff out & don't want to share it with us just yet (so it will be a surprise)?
2. Teds best friend, Ben. I adore sushi too, so I can relate. I'm interested in learning more about his obession/passion!
3. I like it! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the characters.
4. I actually prefer games that are sweeter and more innocent in nature. I enjoy the story, and I don't mind if its PG.

this looks like its going to be a lot of fun! Good luck with everything:)

Ahh, I think I'll leave it as a surprise ;) I enjoy going into games and having no clue so~
Sushi is the best. I've tried to place a little of myself into each character and Ben happened to get my love for sushi XD
Good good :)
And thank god! I was hoping people would say that XD

I really like everything you have done so far, I can tell this will be a great game! I was wondering when do you think a playable demo of the game will be released? I cant wait! :P

Sono toki, Ame fuiteru...
AT that time, the rain was falling:

I think that's a more correct translation for
And the rain was falling for your original title.

I am IN Japan, so I am confident that they never start titles with And like we do in English. Soshite is more directly translated as 'and then'... and used between phrases where as to is used between nouns and simple verbs as just and. Not only that, but they use to in front of every single word, so...

strawberries, grapes, and bananas would be translated: ichigo to buto, to banana ....

I'm not sure when a playable demo will be available, probably when I save up the money to pay for it all to make it a decent demo >.< But my aim is November :)

Umm.... I'd just like to point out I've actually changed the title to English (not American English).... my original language (and one I'm far, far familiar with), so I'm afraid that this sort of comment isn't really relevant any more >.<

1. How do the characters sound? Since this is pretty early development time, I can change them around according to what you guys say.
2. Which characters sound most interesting to you and why?
3. What do you think of the art?
4. The plan is to have it be a PG, but would you guys like it if it's maybe got a higher rating?
1. They all seem to be cute girls with different personalities so yeah they're alright. I can't really judge before seeing how their characters pay out in the game
2. Anna, I like girls with issues it makes them non Jane doe
3. Too much boobs
4. That depends on the content of the game, but PG is good though right? (larger audience)

Good luck!
