It's good to hear you've been getting some progress done on Atonal Dreams! Writing characters is always difficult until their voice starts to click together.
I like the Beast's dramatic pose. Very dramatic!
I do vaguely remember when you asked for advice on constructing a PC years ago. Sadly I don't have any more advice to give now than I did back then! My parents seem to believe I must know a lot about PCs since I use them so much, but I really don't.
I looked a bit further at that Roseblight thing, I noticed the game itself only has a paltry 5 reviews, 1 of which is an insane rant by one of those toxic fans about how the game is problematic because a character is trans and it's not really delved into more beyond a simple acknowledgement. And then some more weird stuff...
"I feel so, so terribly betrayed by this. These were the characters I sought comfort in, and to be this discontinuous DISTRESSES me, fills me with a pain that only others who have lost comfort characters in this manner can know."
"There is a scene of dialogue about a "stalker from chemistry class" that is an extremely thinly veiled vent-post about a personal feud between the two of us. But he doesen't develop this thread into its own story, and its sheer passive-aggression infuriates me and everyone from his old fanbase who knew what happened."
Bizarre!
I can only imagine the dev (who is still in school) got some people he already knew somehow to beta test the game, and then they latched on to it to an absurd degree and got butthurt over a difference in vision. On closer inspection a lot of this looks more like personal drama between atypical group of socially inept teenage 'friends'.
Looking at the trailer itself, I have no idea what kind of game it is trying to be. The gameplay seems to be all over the place, and there's no accompanying text!

Interesting; I didn't even bother looking into the specific game or dev or situation or anything myself! I just saw something that reminded me of my own situation and made a ton of assumptions. Maybe if this is just a case of teenage drama then, perhaps this kind of community drama isn't as common as I dread it is?
Also, weird that teenagers in school are getting their games on Steam!
