Thank you for the lovely comments! They've really helped my mood!

Apologizes if I sound a bit whiny, things ain't so bad, and it could be WAY worse but real life has been turbulent and exhausting of late, need a pick up.
I don't really feel like carrying on with this game if it's just gunna be distributed around the internet without my knowledge.

It's bizarre coming across a random forum, and seeing people commenting about the game, yet, none of them tell you directly, despite there being a link to the page.
It's crazy stressing yourself, trying to port it to Android, and constantly failing, only then to find some Russian guy did it without even asking.
Oh, and they slap their own splash screen on, too
Makes you feel used.
And at some point, I need to start thinking about when to cut off the free updates.
I'm not making original music and sfx, and putting 100's of hours into a project just to be treated like some kind of auto-dispensing free content machine. I want to feel rewarded for my efforts, not ashamed to say it.
Is that wrong of me? To want to feel rewarded for my efforts?
Should I not aspire to be some kind of dev with a business?
What I would really like to do, is to work with an artist, someone who can draw and animate.
That'd be swell!

Anyway, changing how I approach this place.
After finishing and releasing Chai's game to a tepid reception, I feel burned out.
Whats even more baffling is how people sent me donations for the demo.
Now the full thing is here for $3 and its... I dunno... too much to ask?
To be honest I'm coming to terms with it. I love the game but I get if it doesn't have mass appeal.
Maybe there's somewhere else I can go with it, too.
But thank you to those who have purchased it so far. Seeing my first sale was like a fireworks display!

I'm feeling the pull towards The Brave again, even did some map making to relax.
But I'm changing how I'm delivering it here.
Instead of putting pressure on myself to release small updates, I'm just going to work on the game in my own time, and try to bring it to a conclusion.
Everything extra can be added on afterwards.
I'm not developing any other games or starting any new projects, The Brave is now my sole project.
I'll stick to two companions to develop for now, that being Ria and Maxi.
I may even go back and completely rewire their relations quests.
Just let me know someones there, please.
