Music History knowledge always welcome, wear that badge with pride ヽ(´▽`)ノ
I had no idea that copyright lasted so long. I would've guessed that music written so long ago would be open for public after a 100 years or so. Out of curiosity it makes me wonder where the royalties go if someone did want to use them. The deceased persons heirs? The victorian equivalent to a record label?

I'd love to hear more about the direction of where you guys are going with endings when you've gotten to a place in development where you can speak more on it
Even vague ideas that could be subject to change are welcomed :3

If you haven't made it to the true ending already, please do. We've played some major titles from cheritz too but Hatoful boyfriend still ranks number 1 on our list.
I've actually never played hatoful boyfriend before, though i had seen it several times i wasnt sure about dating birds X'P but with your recommending it so fondly I'll have to check it out. A game that can make people both laugh and cry has to be awesome. I will def aim for that true ending in it

Whoa you werent kidding about it being huge, surely you will be able to find anything you could possibly need for music there (・ω・)b
Some questions/Comments
____________________________
About how many tracks were you thinking about featuring in the game?
Were you planning on some of the music being based on location or being set to the emotional tone of the scenes? As a fan I just freely enjoy music as it happens in the games but I became curious about how devs work on music placement.
Ive seen a otome dev show some samples of songs that they have planned for their game. Will you list a few of your favorites from musopen for us to hear too?
Forgot to say this before
I like how the guys all have a unique signature for signing their letters.
I feel like it suits that they would have differing styles some simple and some more flamboyant (I'm looking at Fabian and Petrus).
Im curious that Dario has the longest name and most distiguished family history(probably)
but writes his signature in a style that is more illegible.
It reminds me of a handwriting analysis article that i'd read in the past saying: if someone has a neat script but messy signature it means that they care about what they are trying to convey in their letters more than they care about their self/ego.
With Dario having the highest peerage rank but being so timid at the same time I felt like it would fit him somehow and (possibly) reflect this theory of sincere writing while at the same time showing a disregard for self/ego that is at odds with his rank.
And wonder if it was deliberate signature choice for him? Or am I thinking too much? XD
