Wow, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! It's really helpful, both practically and as a motivation-booster.

That filter/style (it looks like a modified filter, but i dont want to be rude to your artist) is especially hard to pull off, I'm impressed that it meshes so well with the art.
Ha ha! You can be as rude as you like about the edited backgrounds, because that's all me. And I'm under no illusion when it comes to my limited ability to slap a filter over something and jiggle it until it looks as not-terrible as possible.

It's true, he does look very white and crisp in those screenshots. But I can promise that he won't always be looking so squeaky clean.

Don't worry. I think I've been too vague in my descriptions. There are no mini-games of any kind - this VN is pure text and menus. I should've been more specific: when I say "action" I mean it in a thematic sense, not a literal one. So there will be a lot of stuff going down, but it will all be delivered via dialogue and choices.
