This is literally my dream game!! It's so good. Be proud of yourself; you have made something wonderful here. I'm only a little bit into the game, and I have loved every minute, the vfx, time capsule vibe, the graphics, the storytelling, the cutscenes. If you ever think about working on the game again, or on other games/projects, I would love a chance to contribute! My main skill is art, if you wouldn't mind, I will email the details.
I don't have a windows machine, but you better believe when I do I will be playing the heck out of this level selector. I read your goodbye radiant sword post and thought it was beautiful writing: cant imagine how beautiful the writing would be in a game you made (writing is most of what I care about in games!) Congrats in walking away from a project you have been working on for that long....takes guts!
I am wishing you luck in finding your trans & queer dev community to make an awesome game, if not this game, than another. If not, I am ringing bells for all the trans dancing joyful community you want!
And personally, most of the game devs I have ever met who make JPRGs over the past ten years have been transwomen (or at least some kind of transfemme or "no longer man" (im that last one!) so maybe you can have both :)
Thanks for making something so amazing, even if it is unfinished :)
Found out about this project yesterday while searching up some old "alpha" trailers of FFT as research for the narrative for my own FFT-like project and absolutely fell in love with what your team did here! Downloaded the demo on your Itch.io and I've been combing through it for a bit today and while there's a bit of jank (as to be expected of such a large scale cancelled project) like saves not loading properly or the concept of putting an enemy capable of summoning a vampire wolf on the second level of the game, there is still, frankly, an absolutely RIDCULOUS amount of heart in this!? I made a reddit post linking back to the demo video on Youtube because I really think that this sorta thing deserves to be celebrated, even if in post-mortem, simply bc it's clear how much work you all put into this! Is there anyway to contact you in an offical capacity? I wouldn't be any real help in getting this finished, per se, but as one aspiring storyteller and fan of FFT/LUCT to another, I would LOVE to compare narrative/thematic notes and just pick your brain about the development process that went on! This seems like it would've been the best parts of FFT and LUCT, and it's a god damn shame that it's been deemed as infeasible to finish bc God knows Square's never gonna give us anything half as badass as this ever again, sigh
First off, thanks so much! I'm glad the hard work came through, even though the build is indeed full of jank. (I thought save/load was working in this build though >< I might need to upload a fixed version...)
As for contact info: my public dev contact is squeakmousegamedev@gmail.com. Feel free to hit me up! Happy to hop on a Discord call or something as well.

Thank you so much for the kind words! And, getting a Mac/Linux build together is on my todo list, so hopefully you'll be able to play it soon!
