Oh no, it's me who should apologize! I've been on itchio for years and wasn't aware that devs aren't notified unless it's for a direct thread made by them. I'll make sure that my next post will be in the Game Discussion thread 😉
I'm always happy to praise good storytelling that manages to evoke an/multiple emotion(s) from me! The decision to show Nor and Esha's story from Nor's perspective was so worth it, despite how much more effort you had to put into it ( for the extra art sprites, cgs , backgrounds, music and coding everything). But I think it paid off extremely well; it felt more intimate to witness their story from one of their perspectives, and the culmination packed quite the emotional punch, not only for Aura but also for the reader. Again, great characters, great writing :).
Ah, my fellow romantics❤️. Just to be clear, I'll accept any ending where the trio ends up happy, even if it's not in a romantic poly. The only requirement, that I have, is that the chars achieve the happiness and stability/safety they deserve. (😭And they deserve lots of it)
I don't envy the work you devs put into a project this ambitious; cuts and edits are inevitably going to occur during the development process. The two professors' story is already hinted at in the story, even if the full development will occur off screen to us; the foundation has already been laid, the ship has already sailed ;> so don't worry about the prospect of "shortening it", when we get glimpses of the development.
Perhaps, later on, you can release a booklet ( with writing and art) that expands/fills in the details of their story as paid dlc content? I've seen other devs do it, thought I would offer it as a suggestion here :)
Cheers, darlings ✨🤗
