Hi , So... My Reaction After Reading Chapter 9....

Hi 🙂, so... my reaction after reading chapter 9....

Me: I'm not jealous!!! I SWEAR I'M NOT!!! 😭😭😭

Mc is single and ready to mingle~

Can we play as a virgin? Hoho 🤭

LOL! I know, I know, MC is loneeeely right now. I'm sorry, I know y'all like the angst though 👀

You can't play as a virgin strictly speaking, but you can finish the story without a RO if that's what floats your boat! ♥

Could you specify who are the ROs then, please? Or is it spoiler?

Yeah, right now it would indeed spoil the fun! You can make guesses about the current romantic developments, but not all the characters have been introduced yet, and there’s still a lot evolving! ☺

Do you have a timeframe of the after dark and the in between will be finished? Or are you just going with the flow? I read and re read both of them they are very interesting and had me hooked!

Hi, thank you for asking! I'm glad you're enjoying them ☺

"In theory, I have a timeframe for both, but to be honest, I’m re-evaluating the composition of After Dark (three separate routes in the first book from the start). The writing and coding for it is really complex, especially considering the multitude of side things you can do with the phone, the collectables, the individual scenes with RO characters, and so on.

For The In-Between, the situation is a bit simpler because it’s more of a novel than a game, but there are still some things to consider when you add interactivity into the mix. To give you a practical example, the original story up to this point consists of 17,747 words. The IF version consists of 27,606 words! So you can imagine what I mean lol

There’s a bit of personal ranting after the cut, so if you’re not in the mood for various unnecessary complaints, you can stop here! ♥

Also, over the past few years, I’ve had a string of bad luck, one thing after another—losses, health issues, bureaucratic problems. It’s been a real mess, and I’ve had to juggle all of it while constantly working (at least) two jobs, earning a degree, and taking extra university courses. Honestly, I’m surprised I’ve managed to get... even the little that I’ve accomplished done, lol. Things haven’t really improved much (I have degenerative health issues, so it’s not like they’re going to get better), and I won’t have any more free time with the PhD and everything. But mentally, I feel stable enough to keep working on my projects. I just hope I can finish them before the next family tragedy, or at least find the catharsis I need through writing.

Sorry for the unnecessary personal rant, but I think it did me good to put it in writing, so thank you for giving me the chance to do so! ☺

I just realized that because of some variables, with the right stats and a certain amount of randomness, there is 2.5 percent chance for someone to have very little to read from the After Dark 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 updates. Two whole updates and a particularly lucky (or unlucky?) person could miss almost all of their content. Honestly hilarious

Watching everybody being love-dovey with their partners, and I'll be like; "Omg! I'm so happy for you guys!"

😂😂 I feel that! Still, Chiara didn't seem all that happy to me, and neither did Mirko/Mika... and even Ale1 doesn’t seem completely carefree when thinking about Chiara. It’s all about perspective I guess 😌

Cinzia is enjoying life tho :D

woah holy shit, YOU'RE the author of A Long Weekend??? Omg, that was one of the first if games I ever played!! It was so long ago, and I was wondering like a week ago where it was and who wrote it! I really liked A Long Weekend, it felt like a very good introduction into a new obsession

Thank you so much, it’s so nice to read something like that—I’m speechless 😭

Since your message is anonymous, I can’t tell if you follow me or have already interacted with some of my posts, so I'm sorry if this is something you already know—but have you seen my work in progress The In-Between? It’s not exactly the same thing as A Long Weekend, but it’s a drama IF with romantic elements, so you might like it!
