Episode 02 release finally happened. Yay!
I gotta say it was received better than I hoped, so I'm very happy about that. Thank you for all the kind words (and kind money :) you keep sending my way.
For the past few days I've been taking it slow, playing video games (mostly "ELEX", it's so good T_T) and answering your emails.
Now I think it is time to share some of my post-release thoughts.
First of all let me assure you that my main strategy for Episode 03 has not changed. I still plan to make it way shorter and release it way quicker.
Also I plan to do a bit more drawing and a bit more writing this time around. Many of you enjoyed the story of episode 02 it seems, and I can't be happier about that. But looking back now I realize how much time it took me to write that story. And please don't forget that I also commissioned other artists to work on some of the chibi animations, the episode title screen and some other minor things. All that resulted in me barely drawing anything for the past 10 months or so...
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy writing, but not nearly as much as I enjoy drawing... So I will have to give all that a bit more thought, but the general idea for now is to spend a bit more time drawing crap and a bit less time writing crap, while working on episode 03.
Next thing is sexy scenes with Genie. This time around a lot of you told me (in one way or another) that Genie needs to be more active with the girls. And I hear you and agree. But this should be done in a way that would make sense inside the game world and also not multiply my workload too much... No idea, how I am going to do that... All I can say for now, that I heard you and I plan to give this A LOT of thought...
And that is it for now. Xaljio is repacking the game for ANDROID at the moment, so as soon as that is done, I will make another post and maybe talk some more about some things...
In the meantime I want to share two links to two games that you may find interesting.
First one is "Lyla's Curse" by Voodoo Monkey. Monkey sent me the link to his game saying that I should try it. I was very skeptical at first to be honest, but I give it a go and got to say I did enjoy it. The presentation is rough around the edges at time but I did like the overall artstyle and characters. Oh, and you should know that there is not much gameplay at the moment, more like a several long scenes but there are quite a few illustrations... Anyway, my only intent is to inform you guys that the thing exists and that I think it had potential.

And I have another game for you as well... This one is called "Soldier's Life" by Pyorgara. This one was also brought to my attention by the creator of the game itself and he insisted I should try it. And I did. And to be honest it had way to much shit going on for my dumb brain to handle... A lot of choices and numbers and stuff... But it looks rather well-made and I am sure there are people out there who enjoy that sort of gameplay. So in case you never heard of it, here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/Pyorgara
And that's about it. My job is done here. Thank you for your support guys, and I'll see you again when ANDROID version will be ready for release.
