DAY05.DIARY
Added 2020-11-22 22:55:29 +0000 UTCHey guys, sorry for not posting this during the weekend after I released v0.8.0 like I had intended to. Basically, what happened is that I believed to be able to finish writing it, and I did. But it was way too long, and I wasn't happy with it. Plus I wanted to incorporate some more of her thoughts into it.
So I ended up wanting to rewrite it, but didn't manage to do it until today, due to a lack of time and a lack of motivation too, I guess. In any case, I rewrote it again today and am decently happy with it, so would love your feedback on it to see if it works (from the text to the graphical representation).
It was harder than I expected, it needs to have a different tone than the usual writing, and not be too long. Or too short. And still be interesting to read, and give you some insight into her character and the way she experienced things.
PS. If you're wondering about the "lack of motivation", don't worry too much. I certainly don't intend to abandon the project, at all. It's a hobby, I enjoy writing it and interacting with players.
The lack of motivation was due to 1. being really tired from my daily life (I slept for 15 hours yesterday), and 2. due to getting some bad reviews, which I know I shouldn't let affect me since I knew from the start it wouldn't be immensely popular or become a big thing, but it's still disappointing, and when you're tired, kills motivation.
But as said, do not worry, I felt like writing today and enjoyed it. I worked on the outline for the next day as well, and am starting to get an idea for how it will play out. I hope to get some more time soon to continue working on the next update, but won't make any promises about when it will come.

Keep looking forward and cherry pick the useful feedback, it's true in life like it's true here :) Too little sexual content? Easy, we're just starting out and it will solve itself once more content gets added. Promise me you won't lose motivation for something as trivial as this again ;)..1 star trolling reviews? Who cares, what's meaningful is that there're people using their own money to support you. GL ;)

Also, getting tired from your daily life is expected from time to time, no need to apologize. Your pace seems good so far! We don't want you too feel burnt out or uninspired after all.

2020-11-24 04:33:50 +0000 UTCIt was feedback I can't do much with in any case (not liking the setting, and there being too little sexual content), but it's still disappointing to get hit with a 1-star review. Thanks for the encouragement, and as you said, I shouldn't worry about them.
2020-11-22 23:05:19 +0000 UTCAwesome, I'll let you know what I think! Don't let the reviews get to you, the project is still in it's infancy, any *serious* reviews at this point are irrelevant to me and they should be to you too! :)
