snap your friend out of his spiraling by shocking him with a bizarre callback

Wacky little thought, but what if this movie had an actual impact on 'Hikaru's feelings for Yoshiki and how he acts towards him?

He's so upset at the plight of this woman who gets treated by her husband as if she's completely replacable, and he goes on to fully dedicate himself to Yoshiki, shaping himself, learning human morals and mannerisms, making extreme sacrifices for and letting himself be hurt by him both mentally and physically. Choosing Yoshiki time and time again. The complete opposite of the man in the movie.

This idea first came to me because of the "you're a demon in the flesh" line. It seems just a bit too pointed to be meaningless.

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

It’s so interesting to hear what mokumokuren was intending with the hand in chest scene! I think the themes of the story come through excellently. “Difficult to accept” in the sense of Hikaru’s death and yoshiki’s sexuality. It’s a bit genius I fear

If funding and time wasn't an issue, what would you add into the game? What features/ideas did you guys have to cut because it just didn't seem feasible? I'm really curious what your guys' "ideal" version of the game would be.

Honestly? My ideal version is already happening or uhh i.e none of the super important features/ideas I wanted in game have been cut yet! So I’m optimistic (and delusional) that that will remain the same as we continue development.

That being said— we did have to cut like three minigames from the spring demo because it was a programming and art effort that didn’t really net much gain?

For example, in the rainy event— I wanted to do a cooking mama segment where you actually did have to chop, season, and stir the pot to make the soup. But from a development perspective, it didn’t add anything to the narrative and it ultimately would’ve been a waste of our time since it wouldn’t be reused.

Soooo bye bye it went!

My current version, of my ever-evolving theory, on what constitutes "aromantic stories" is that first off, there's absolutely a wide spectrum between 1, "this is explicitly undeniably about aromanticism," and 2, "there sure is a noteworthy amount of aro subtext, but representing aros clearly wasn't the author's intent." But the spectrum is best completed not as a straight line, but as a triangle, where the 3rd point is "the story probably wasn't created with aromanticism at the forefront of anyone's mind, but was created with subverting particular expectations related to romantic relationships in mind." And in my experience, a lot of juicy aromanticism-related experiences that are underrepresented in their own right can lie in that third option, regardless of whether the characters are aro-spec or allo or kind of whatever you headcanon.

So, what does make a story on this spectrum "aromantic?" IDK, I wouldn't necessarily include all or most of the firm 2s (unintentional subtext) under the aromantic story mantle. But when you get into the gray areas that inch a little closer to 1 and 3, let alone the gray area between 1 and 3 where intent is ambiguous but ultimately may not matter, it makes sense that different people will have different takes.
