I’ve finally finished this! You now have the option to carry cigarettes with you, along with the switchblade. That means new dialogue options and scene variations, yayyyyy.

I’m also working on adding the inventory menu. It’s fairly simple since Fennel doesn’t carry much (at least, he doesn't carry around a lot of items that you will use) and because of the POV changes.

Hii, i love listening punk rock bands and a while ago, when i was listening to celebrity skin by hole, i noticed that the lyrics were compatible with Fennel and i wondered if you might have been inspired by this while making this game. in my opinion that song really fits him so i just wanted to ask<3

no, i was not! but i'll give the song a listen...

fennel takes a lot of inspiration from characters i loved when i was younger. if i said exactly who, that would be a very long list. so, i'll just say he's an amalgamation of my favorite late 00s anime boys.

fennel was also created around this time period. technically, he is one of my oldest characters, but i only say this because i recycled his design over the years.

theyre all fennel!!

I don't know if you've been asked this before , ( if you have or can't answer for any reason , just ignore this haha . ) but how would you describe your characters personalities ? More specifically Fennel and Clyde's - I love them lots and just wanna understand them better . Apologies if this is an odd question , I'm not sure how to word it . (⌒_⌒;) Much love . ♥️

Fennel: Aloof and stoic. Distant, but hates being alone. Does not like being perceived as 'weak', so he acts tougher than he is. Relaxed and lazy. He's a cold person but warms up over time. The Fennel you're getting in Introdemo is under a lot of stress so his negative traits, like his vindictiveness, are pushed to the surface. He has an air of mystery surrounding him.

Clyde: Charismatic! Friendly! Kind! Sociable! But also vindictive and petty and holds grudges easily. He's full of contradictions. He respects authority but he has a desire to rebel. Everything was gifted to him and has a desire to prove himself. He's at the point of his life where he feels unworthy, so he's always seeking validation. You either love him or hate him.

Clyde and Fennel are two sides of the same coin.

Other characters below...

Bailey: Kind and altruistic but is not a doormat. She follows the golden rule and assumes the best out of others. I wouldn't call her 'naive'. She's just willfully ignorant at times. I would say that Bailey is the most 'normal' character in the main cast.

Spot: Squeak.

Diya: Efficient and domineering. If she does not like you, she will tell you. She is quite sensitive though, and is a hopeless romantic...

Darcy: Avoidant, quiet, self-critical, and has low expectations for himself and others. Happiest when engaging with interests. Observant.

Princess: Hyper!!! Excitable!!! Easily distracted!!!!!! She's very curious about the world around her. She knows a lot more than she lets on.

Wren: Wants to be cool but is dorky. Cares waaaaaay too much about what people think. Independent but might ask for their hand to be held.

Valentine: Is cool and is not dorky. Practical. She is very sentimental. Realistic about her expectations for herself and others. Probably the second most 'normal' character in the cast.

Pine: A player. Selfish. Self-aware scumbag.

Everyone else I didn't mention: Awesome (?).

This is a question for Fennel and Clyde!!! Whats their favorite musician and favorite show? Also they should listen to "The Air Condition Nightmare by Mr.Bungle"!!

Xoxo love the work, #1 fan :D

[introdemodev]

you are the intro to my demo...you are my introdemo.

[introdemodev]

Hii! I was wondering if you could talk more about the breakup between Fennel and Yua in the game. I'm a bit curious about it! :)

ultimately, they broke up because their careers were heading in opposite directions. yua wasn't too keen on fennel's pursuit of stardom and felt like he was starting to 'sell out.' plus, yua was feeling the pressure from being associated with fennel, though the first issue was the bigger factor. yua sees that fennel being treated like a product, and she's upset that he isn't making any real change. ideologically, she's much more radical than he is.

how does everyone feel about having fans?
