All im saying, it'd be better to start off fully with twine. Down the line, you might switch over from cs to twine and it'd be hassle trying to send over those variables from there to over there
Yeah, that thing that I was afraid of because I always had in mind to eventually make my game into twine. It might not compare, but I know the struggle of changing from one code source to another with past projects I did for college, and I really don’t want to stress over it when I could continue writing chapters.
okay so we got ROs love languages that they show with MC. can we get love languages they'd love to get from MC too? 👀
Of course. ;)
Aurelian: he values both verbal and physical expressions of affection from MC. He find great joy and happiness in receiving compliments and praise from MC, such as “You did great today.” These simple words make his heart swell with love and warm.
He also loves the feeling of a warm, gentle hug from MC. It makes him feel seen and loved.
Elara: she treasures quality time, meaningful conversations, and thoughtful gestures from MC. It makes her feel cherished, and deeply loved.
Elara finds it incredibly special when MC sets aside time to spend with her, whether it’s relaxing or working together. And when MC surprise her with little gifts, such as her favorite flowers, it makes her heart skip a beat.
It’s the small gesture that mean the most to her, knowing that MC took the time to think of her and put a smile to her face.
Kazuo: he deeply values the protection and assistance that MC provides whenever he gets hurt or injured, especially during tasks.
Kazuo also cherishes MC’s words of affirmation and praise when he completes a task. It makes him feel proud and accomplished.
When Kazuo experiences nightmares from his past and he can’t control his laycan form. He finds solace in MC’s comforting presence, and being physically to feel their support through gentle circle pats on his back helps to bring him back to a state of calmness.
Aiden/Ava: they values the time, attention, and affection that they receive from MC. A finds MC’s adoration of them to be endearing and heartwarming to know that MC loves them and values them for who they are.
One of A’s favorite moments with MC is when they gently play with A’s hair and call them by their name. It makes A feel special and cherished.
SC:
“Anything MC does only fuels my desires.”
Mhmm how about the song for solider,poet, and king? And also how about Until I found you?👀✨
Yess! Love them both! 💗💗

...........
Nadeem/Nadia Mirza (opposite gender of Birbal) 💕: Birbal's betrothed and distant cousin of Akbar.

hey everyone.
I just wanted to apologize for not posting anything lately. Things have been pretty rough.
unfortunately, my laptop died on me, and I also lost someone close to me recently…It's been a real struggle, especially since money's been tight. I'm doing my best to sort everything out, and with the help of a friend, I hope to have a new laptop soon. It might take me a week or so, but I'll be back as soon as possible.
I'm sorry for not updating you all earlier. I wasn't feeling too great mentally, but your support means the world to me. Thank you so much.
Hello again!
I've been giving it some thought, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to create a Ko-fi or a Patreon account where I can share some nsfw exclusive side stories and other things. 🤔
However, please don't feel obliged to join either of them, as asking me here is always welcome too.
My aim is to create something special and exclusive for each person who enjoys my wip, and I'm truly grateful for every single one of your supports, whether it's a like, reblog, or follow.
If you do ask me here, I'll be more than happy to answer your questions, but please bear in mind that I'm currently prioritizing writing chapters and releasing them to you, so it may take me some time to respond.
As for when I'll create the Ko-fi or Patreon account, I'm not entirely sure yet. It may be after I release chapter one, but only time will tell. 😌
Thank you for your continued support!
If I have time to make a fanart of my oc and also the RO's would you wanna see them?🥺
Of course!! That would be so sweet of you 🥹 I always love to see fan arts! Please don’t hesitate! <3
