Thank you Jack, sleepykitten and Dejinyucu - you all rock! Thank you for being involved in these great games! I appreciate your talent and your hard work.



And yes, Jack has it right - I didn't mean to disrespect you and apologise if that's how it came across.



It's just that I know with some of the early WW games, some writers and artists were not comfortable writing or drawing gay relationships. (Apparently this was the case with Mass Effect too, as Tali was intended to be a Femshep relationship too, but the voice actress Liz Sroka didn't want to record the dialogue...)



As Jack mentions, Love & Order, Planet Stronghold & Heileen really only has 'two girl friendship' without depicting kissing or cuddling. The later games - Loren, Roommates - show clearly that it is a romantic relationship (for the gay guys as well as the lesbian couples).



And don't worry, I'm perfectly happy with romantic love I'm probably just a bit defensive because many shows use 'romantic two girl friendship' as a 'Hide Yours Gays' trope, rather than to illustrate tenderness or subtlety. I know you don't do it for those reasons and I appreciate your efforts.

Maelora explained it all very well, when we're subjected to shows/movies and games using that trope and others over and over again for many years, we can get kinda defensive on the subject. I know Deji and you wouldn't do that and I'm excited to see the final result of the projects you both work on.



Sorry if any comments upset you, wasn't my intent.

Yeah, don't worry, we don't plan to go that way



There will be kissing and cuddling and real romantic feelings acknowledged by both parties! I guess the "romantic friendship" is a rather complicated subject, but trust us we know what we're doing xD (we're in a romantic friendship ourselves after all, lol )

I admit when Maelora mentioned it was used too many times, I was scratching my head because the only romantic friendships I could find were in older literature. XD Now I realize it's the 'hide your lesbians' tropes, and no no no no, I would never do something like that. Nor would Deji.



Both parties will always be clear, or at least be figuring their relationship out together. =) When the GxG routes are tackled in the later games, they'll be romantic.

Thank you, Deji and sleepykitten!



The Winter Wolf games are clearly in safe hands!

Super excited for this! I'm in love with the character designs!

Since GxG is already planned, any chance for a BxB route expansion later on? ^_^

Don't think since for SH2 there will be BxB already, but anyway we're talking about next year for the GxG, so even if the BxB was available would be 2016 at best

Just wanted to say that having the artist from the Flower Shop guarantees my purchase. Well, there was a 98% chance from it just being Winter Wolves, but now it's 100%. I loved the art in Flower Shop.

Yes, she's good

Here Here!! Well said Kitty ^^

Don't think since for SH2 there will be BxB already, but anyway we're talking about next year for the GxG, so even if the BxB was available would be 2016 at best

I can totally wait! World needs more BxB!

Woah, woah, don't plan so ahead you all! x'D

We have other projects we have/want to get done before even *thinking* about expansions in 2 years more and stuff like that!

And the main game is not even finished yet :'D



I'd appreciate if we'd keep focused on this one and worry about what my acme in the future when this one is done or close to done

We'll see what we can do but it's highly unlikely. ^_^; We got some other projects we'll be tackling after C-14, including Spirited Heart 2. If we're unable to work on a BxB focused game (aside from the BxB in SH2 which will have 12 to select from) I'm sure Jack will have some exclusive BxB projects planned. ~_^

Haha! Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I'm putting pressure on the team. I know how busy you all are ^_^;

Looking forward to both SH2 and C-14 <3

YEP. Good art!

The art is brilliant! I'm so in love with Hendrik already! <3

Is his arm a prosthetic btw?

Yes, one of the strongest point of this game is the variety of characters. Very different from the classic otome games

That's what I thought.

Hats off to the team. We don't get to see this kind of diversity in mainstream games.



EDIT: Meant to ask, is this game going to be in a more serious romantic tone or more towards the sexy comedy style of Roommates?

Lighthearted slice-of-life, with the choice of befriending or romancing the available characters.



And a focus on archaeology of course.

Lighthearted slice-of-life, with the choice of befriending or romancing the available characters.

I really shouldn't read when tired. I saw 'befriending' as 'beheading', and with the 'slice-of-life' I thought it was a dating sim set in France's Reign of Terror...



However, playing through Spirited Heart, and let me say I really enjoy writing thesleepykitten. So, I look forward to C-14
