No worries, I didn’t take it as such! And I appreciate your faith in me. 😁

Tellus is going to be a prickly porcupine for a while. It’ll take some work to get past those defenses, but once you do, it’ll be worth it!

Thank you so much! To hear that I've inspired another is the best compliment, truly.

I'd be happy to take a look at your work and tell you what I think. But I have to warn you... I've done a lot of copyediting and proofreading in my career and tend to be hyper critical (of my own work included). Are you looking for a full on red pen, grammatical deep dive or just broad thoughts and light suggestions?

Either way, congratulations on your first IF and good luck with the project!

Thank you so much!

Niiiiiiiice!

Thank you! I'm glad Vicente still has his fans. There was a mass exodus to Tellus, lol.

Hello! When you play from a save, (which I'm assuming you're doing since you switched devices) the music doesn't automatically start. As far as I can tell this is a Sugarcube thing and no real way to fix it. The music will kick in when you hit a scene or passage where the music changes, for example between chapters 1 and 2. If you start a new game on the browser, you'd hear the music fine from the beginning.

I hope that made sense!

Thank you! To hear that I've inspired others is truly the best praise I could ever receive. And I 100% encourage writing for yourself. It took me decades to return to writing outside of a professional capacity, but I am so glad I did!

Thank you!

You are most welcome!

I'm sorry, but no, not at this time. May I ask what browser you're using? I had one reader mention they had some trouble with Microsoft Edge. I use Google Chrome and it works fine so maybe try that?

Aww, thank you so much, I appreciate hearing that!!

Thank you!

I’m so glad you all did form an attachment because you manifested this! ❤️

Omg 🤣😳

So am I! And you are in luck, because he is. 😉

Erm… well… you’ll get a hug eventually? It might take some doing. 😅

You sure about that? 😏

There are now 5 ROs. ;)

Lol, thank you!

That's wonderful, I'm glad you appreciate that option! A commenter here on my itch page mentioned it and it was a great suggestion. I'm glad you can relate to your MC better now. :)

Thank you! I'm happy you're enjoying it and I can't wait to share more!

Aww, thank you!

Lol, he actually wasn't. I never intended him to be a character, but he received so much love that I considered the possibility... and here we are!

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! I’m excited to share this story with you!

Thank you! And I’m glad Vicente still has fans, lol.

Thank you! I really have been blessed with some awesome (and hilarious) readers. I’m glad you joined us! 🫶🏻

❤️❤️❤️

Not directly, but I’ve always been a big proponent of reading and the power of words. Viatica is adapted from a novella I wrote nearly 30 years ago, when I was a voracious reader of dystopian literature. It’s deeply concerning how the events of this story ring truer now than they did 30 years ago. I live in America, and I think it’s more important than ever that people speak up right now. I don’t like to wax too political, but I do believe in being human and compassionate, and speaking when needed. Thank you for asking. 😊

A very rough estimate would be September or October. Chapter 4 is a biggie, and I have several vacations planned with my family over the summer.

🤭

I have PLANS. And art. 😉 Just waiting a few days for readers to catch up and I’ll answer that question. 😁

Just because I’m not talking about certain THINGS right now doesn’t mean I don’t have PLANS. 😎 I’m trying not to give spoilers and give readers a chance to catch the update. I wouldn’t make any assumptions. Give me a few days. 😉

If I do monetize this game then yes, I’d probably port it to Steam. I was thinking of doing similar to what the author of Arcadie did, with a sizable chunk here, and the final version over there.

Thank you! And you’re absolutely right. 

Hahaha, thank you!

Thank you! I’m trying to include a lot more options and choices in this IF than my last one, and have them affect the story, so I’m happy to hear you appreciated that. 😊

😎

Piccolo is a great name! ❤️ I’m glad you appreciate the musical aspect! And I’m glad you found the choices appropriate to your MC; I’m really trying to make this IF more inclusive and customizable than Viatica was so I’m happy to hear you thought of it as such.

Fun fact, I am Italian on one side and Irish on the other, so that would be a neat way to honor my other heritage. I’ll give it some thought, thank you!

And don’t ever apologize for writing long comments, I love them!

Oh, the flavor text I’m already imagining… 😎
