... Here's the gist. I played recently an indie mecha visual novel from the west called Ace Academy. And to put it simply, because it was indepent, it's kinda of a mess. Some plot threads are really predictable, which is fine, but the thing is, most of them aren't even ended properly at all. Including mecha stuff, which kinda suck by the way. There is also a choice at the start what you like, buff boi, nerd and smooth criminal (Not literaly, but you get it). And it only changes few options which are completely inconsequential. The are even tests as well, which are basic as all hell. There are also a bunch of options for characterising your character which are technically nice, also don't mean a lot in terms of choice and involvement. You can actually see that there are some similarities with what you doing, so this got me thinking... I can cleary see that you made battling a big thing, which is good, but i hope plot threads of character specific routes are going to be finished properly and i hope that changes to the character of Red will me impactful. That is my concern... Especially since you not even taking patreon, which utterly terrifies me. I know about the streams, but still. I hope you don't fall into the same traps as that game did.
