I absolutely adored this! It’s just so freaking charming, I am charmed! Utterly Charmed!! The physical puppets were so cute and I loved the style of humor, the corner of the map gag and giving the mushroom those legs, it’s just good vibes all around. Loved it. Awesome job!

I really enjoyed reading this and there were a number of really cool and surprising details!

The extra hint of worldbuilding you mentioned I found to be really interesting, and the fact that you were at times considering 5 (or even six?) pilots is wild!! (I had a personal theory that the pilot colors were related to Tetris block colors but I suppose this disproves that theory lol)

Reading your insights into the characters was also really illuminating, I think I must’ve missed some of the subtext but your notes about Green in particular hit hard, I see a lot of myself in him, well a bit in all of them really; I imagine that’s just what good writing does.

Seeing Red rendered in the administrative style… I can see why you were considering that because the art alone is impactful.

Reading Fisher’s interpretation regarding the pilot ids was legitimately horrifying so in a way I’m glad it was more intended to be a (very cute) easter egg lol

It’s always so nice to see your drawings and sketches, I love that you included all of the fun memes and alt universe stuff too, it is all so lovely!

Congrats!! I’m so happy to know that heavensent has been re-indexed too! The embroidery, charm and fan art are SO cute and adorable HJSHSDJSHD this community is the best. <3

You captured that complicated post-dev feeling so acutely INSIDE of the game itself, I have no idea where one’s thoughts linger after making something like this.

The visuals and effects are gorgeous, and the way you structured that narrative is fascinating. Leaving it to the player to break the narrative by quitting, it feels like a development in the narrative itself.

WOW!! This was so beautiful! Amazing work!! The way the last panel echoes that previous one is sooo good! I also really like the colors you chose and how you rendered the shadowed areas, it’s all so pretty!!!

Oh thank you so much for playing and for your kind words BibiXP!! It means a lot. I’m glad that the story didn’t feel too dark for you, I think it ended up being more ambiguous in the end, but my own head cannon is that it ends on a more hopeful note. (though I believe anyone’s interpretation is just as valid)

<3333

AHH thank you so much for writing this up! It was so nice to see your thoughts! I also really enjoyed that about Nikko, she might be naively optimistic or innocent but she holds firmly onto her ideal of love and I just love that for her lol I also agree Mala’s design for Nikko is awesome, her colors are so bright they feel like a beacon or lighthouse compared to the world she lives in, I love it. XD

OH nice! I’m excited to play it! I definitely will come back whenever it’s released!!

This is so beautiful. These words cut deep and shine so brightly. Your adoration flows through this work painting its own colors into the world!!

oh wow! Thank you death! It means a lot!! <3

I am so thrilled that you enjoyed it!! <3 Thank you for playing!!

Ahh! thank you so much! I also think it’s beautiful and very true!! (Sorry for the late response!)

This was really compelling, for such a small glimpse into this world and these characters it paints a surprisingly detailed reality. The art and photography and music were beautiful, it was all such a delightful and somber experience. Loved it!

Yay!! I’m happy that you enjoyed it and you found Nikko to be adorable! Thank you so much for playing!! :D

Thanks for playing Henni!!

Yeah I think Mala’s art really helped make these characters shine so much. I’m happy (and sorry) you found some parts relatable.

hehehe ^^ <– definitely a fiend.

This was so sweet, I think I sometimes callously think of my machine as just a tool but your perspective (being so saturated in sentimentality) is really striking to me. A computer as a midwife, a partner, a lover. A machine with scars, it’s beautiful. T^T

I fear this isn’t the correct place to make these comments so I will keep it short. I just finished reading Kitbashed Heart and Kitbashed Souls and I absolutely LOVED it all! It’s so well written and charming and sexy, I know nothing about FFXIV but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the story at all. The dynamic between these two characters is electric, and they are so so cute. Amazing stuff. Really inspiring.

Oh wow thank you so much for the kind words! This was very sweet to read! <3

This was really well done, you really captured the mindset of people who rely on LLMs to “express themselves” or do their job for them, utterly devoid of the creative joy they are paradoxically seeking for with a desperate fervor.

I don’t know if the parallel was intentional but I believe in real life there have been multiple instances of “AI” that were revealed to be outsourced human labor. It feels very realistic to imagine CEOs just getting frustrated with the current limitations and deciding to just wire up human brains to keep the grift going.

The third client was so sad. Getting little glimpses into the truly dystopian world hidden in some of the dialogue choices was also very effective. The music and SFX, visual presentation and writing were all very compelling. Well done!

Oh thank you Fisher! Yeah I agree, damaged Nikko is so stunning to look at! I’m really glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing! <3

YAY!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! I love their dynamic as well! <3

This was awesome!! Your descriptions throughout this story were really mesmerizing and the steamier scenes with poppy were amazing!! I did NOT see that coming in the last act, holy smokes what an amazing sequence!

I was surprised by the inclusion of Azimov’s Laws in this but after playing it makes a lot of sense. It’s so cool to not only see them as chapter headings, but they also hint at the ethical conundrum of robots and their agency in the world but ALSO puts the laws in the readers mind so you can introduce that genius loophole in such a freaking clever way. And the loophole also feels so “targeted” towards Gale from what we see in her internal thoughts, it’s soo good!

AAHH this is so lovely!!!!

This was really really cute, when Dollmaker looked into the mirror my heart broke T^T

The whole hand-crafted presentation is so charming and dripping with sincerity. Despite the small scale of the set you still managed to get a lot of creative camera angles and fun interactions with the characters, the little visual effects added on top were also great. I love Dollmaker and I would totally read that story premise mentioned at the end lol

This was awesome, the way you progressed the dialogue by looking around in the environment really evoked the real-life feeling of having such a limited view of the space sitting in the dentist chair and the “finding teeth” moments were so visceral, loved it! The girls were so cute and the world is very intriguing!

There are so many cool options and many of them feel like they can tell a story just on their own!

I loved this!! The art is so good, their expressions are so sexy and fun and there is like a frenetic energy to the panels and shots that really made it all feel so alive and exciting! The premise is so hot too, the girl bullying Doll wowowow what a fantasy! I also really like the final speech bubble falling off the page, so adorable!

Reading your thoughts in the extras was also really fun and insightful, I think you absolutely nailed your goal of having something sexy on each page too.

Selindae and Lynolell are just the cutest, the premise and worldbuilding, the writing and visual design is all awesome and the way the characters are animated was really dynamic! Playing this with my wife on a Sunday morning was really heartwarming and fun, we’re excited to see more stories with these two.

The story conflict with sinklung, Selindae’s use of fey logic and the whole final showdown with the Mist Queen were very exciting and tense and so sweet T^T

Also imo “The Red Festival” is one of the best fantasy sword names ever lol

Awesome work!!

Not even robots are safe from winter blues T^T this was very sweet and it was nice to see such a considerate perspective towards the robotic character.

Oh yes! Good squirming! The squirming means it’s working lol

This is so sweet and heartwarming!! I love your artstyle and how expressive the characters are with both their bodies and faces! Gal’s self loathing was (emotionally) relatable and the sentiments expressed are so sweet and true T^T

Also the heart button is just the cutest thing! and the robot blushies!! AHHG!!

This is so well done!! You communicate so much with so few words and the artistry of the presentation is so delightful. The “Zoom window” on the right is so nice to really get lost in the details.

Absolutely captivating. This hurt me good. I feel simultaneously pained for Polyco and attacked for anthropomorphizing her. The writing of that sequence later in the story was so beautiful… just wow. The art was also achingly adorable, the whole presentation was immaculate. This is really special, well done!!

Amazing work, absolutely horrifying I squirmed so many times while reading this, the art, writing and sound design were all really well done and evocative. The build up throughout the story was so well done too!!

Yay!! Thank you for playing!

omg thank you so much for these kind words!! You are too sweet! T^T

Thank you so much for playing! I’m happy that you felt for Nikko! T^T poor thing really needs a break lol

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad that it wasn’t too much for you! ^^

Awesome!! Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to us! ^^
