Such a great developer playthrough, thank you! I adored the game of course, you did a beautiful job of adding so much content & context. How much was autobiographical-esque was super interesting - the STaggle poem being from you when you were 16 is the rawest thing ever in a game, to teleport that forward through time is amazing. And loved the development notes, the constraints of how production limitations shaped design (like how timing music to animations was hard because you had to develop them in parallel) is always fascinating. I really appreciate you putting this out there!

Just finished the game, great game, think i got the bad ending tough , since from what I have gathered from looking a little small bit of this walktrough there seems to be different things that can happend. Witch poem do you mean ,the one at the end with Staggle?

@@XTORD1 Ah this one would be ending-independent, and is from the fist half of the game; its when Mara is 'dating' Staggle and he writes her a physical letter which includes a poem he wrote for Mara. That poem is one Meredith Gran actually wrote as a teenager for someone online, which she re-used in the game.

@@CommissarYarric9 I see. Thanks. Then i probably didnt get i even if I felt I did take my time to do stuff. Thanks. And is a bit cool Meredith used that poem online herself and then re-used it.
