OC x AIS MINI MANGA
HEYYY GUYS!
I am kinda back again because i got some motivation...soooo I decided to draw shirtless ais
Pinterest sure is a strange place cause wdym people Repost your oc and delete your comments that tell them it's your art and you don't like your oc reposted?
My thoughts on the TS preview:
hiiii okay so !! Since the ts preview has come out on Patreon I thought Iād give my thoughts :] please be aware of spoilers below and also, these are just my opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.
āāā
Letās start with my main concerns so we can end on a positive note!!
1: the pacing.
Now, Iāll start with the thing most talked about: the quickness when it comes to the romances. Each character, even ones like Vere or Mhin, jumpstart the progress of the relationship faster than I had expected, which gave me a liiiittle whiplash.
But hereās the thing, Iāve played a loooot of romance games. My first one was Arcana! Where we can have a relationship break-up before youāre even officially together.
I kinda understand that the quickness of relationship progression was just apart of the romance game formula. Which makes sense especially when youāre in a visual novel format and not likeā a game similar to bg3 or the interactive novels that can spread out through the span of multiple books.
So it was a lot easier for me to brush that off, especially considering that the full game has been said to be only around like ? 5 chapters ?
Now other visual novels, even confined to shorter time, can still take a slower approach. (Example being: Obscura. Ohhh donāt even get me started on that masterpieceā)
But I understand thatās not the approach every visual novel will, and has to take. Which means that I wonāt be taking this criticism into the full game, and instead will keep my eyes on how they choose to continue the romance.
My bigger concern (which is probably not that serious) is that all of this will be over wayyy too quickly, without giving us any time to breathe.
Arcana, despite the quickness of the romance, still allowed the story itself to breathe and let you have fun. I hope that will be the same with Touchstarved. Especially since there wonāt be any longer scenes locked behind a paywall.
2: the MC
To be completely honest with you, Iāve never liked the TS mc hshshshshsā when I first played I was like āI would NOT say thatā and they have annoyed me more than once. But again, Iāve played a lot of romance games, Iām so used to just going āwell this character would actually say this instead.ā Iāve put my not-stick thin pale girl ocs into MYSTIC MESSENGER AND OTHERS OKAY THIS ISNT MY FIRST RODEO
But I can understand that this can still take people out of the story, and any criticisms of Mc is valid. I just donāt personally mind too much. (Not everyone can be a Vesper okay š)
For me, it will all depend on how the mc is written throughout the entire game. If they have development, if they have more agency, if they will be able to prove why THEY are the mc.
(Like how arcana MC was able to grow more confident, use their powers to defeat the devil. How Last Legacy MC was able to progress into a moreeee leadership type role)
One thing Iām actually worried about, and have seen become more prominentā is that the writing itself has been shaved down to what feels like, sometimes, the bare bones.
If youāve had the previous backer updates, youāve seen the writing process. And a lot of it!! Isnāt even re-wording to better the flow, but just simply cutting it done until it goes beyond just being concise, but restricted. Bare.
This is a visual novel, which means the descriptions should be allowed more space. I want to see the character of this writing to shine! I hate when personality and character and depth is sacrificed for the sake of what is excused to be *conciseness*
If youāre a writer, youāre familiar with the three Cās and know that being Concise is one of them. But itās not to sand down creative expression until a colorful paragraph is one, shiny sentence, itās there to smooth over messy wording, to trim!! To trim lengthy paragraphs that go on longer than they need to.
It was disheartening to see this process take over the demo in the update, and it was a bummer to see it continue in the previews. I feel like the team has been limited to what they can say, what they can have the writing express.
I also fear that they have let some of the fandom tooooo sweeten the horror? Like when they said in the demo update that they āgave vere something to eat so he wouldnāt be so bloodthirstyā so it would be harder for him to kill you. NOOOOOOOO !!!! Thatās what shocked me !! What brought vere into my attention !! I thought it gave proper consequence, it served as a preview into what choosing vere would entail. Murder. Risk. Caution while also knowing when to choose boldness.
So I do worry that they will be holding themselves back from what they originally intended for the game. I want it to be a romance, yes, but Iām also here for the horror.
My biggest concern is that the team has been held back ever since the demo first came out. I worry that they have split from the cooperate hold and restrictions just to bring with them the lingering uncertainty that mindset planted in them.
I want to see this game be its truest self, even if it unsettles people, even if itās not what some people want it to be. I want to see what I signed up for: monster horror and messy, bloody, often disturbing romance.
I really, truly love this game. Despite the flaws and concerns, Iāve been blown away by the art and the characters and the world this team has so lovingly crafted. Im in love with the lore, the music, the promises. The relationships between the cast, (Vere and Ais, oughhh theyāre such a messā¦) the backstories I canāt wait to see fleshed out.
I still trust these writers, and Iām proud of them for achieving their goals and for doing what they do to bring us this passion project.
So thatās why I hope they wonāt be held back and will take their time to bring us what they truly envisioned. Because even with the flaws Iāve stated before, I still had a blast playing each chapter. I thought they were fun, intense, and exciting.
It also felt pretty ethereal at timesā like with the musicā helloā the scene where youāre with Vere and walk by all the statuesā
So yeah :] those are my messy thoughts. You definitely donāt have to agree with anything Iāve said hereāespecially since a lot of it has boiled down to me having a different perspective and expectations for romance games in general. But yeah !! Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day !!
Sooo...
Iāve kinda realized that the Touchstarved fandom feels⦠not dead..more like inactive. And honestly, so was I.
It started to feel like itās only āaliveā because a few people are trying hard to keep the hashtag going, rather than there being actual activity. Because of that, I donāt really feel like staying active in this fandom eather.
Soooo.. I think Iāll just step back from the fandom until the game actually comes out. āļø
Hope i see yall when it's out.
you're hot but in the way that you're actually on fire and im socially awkward
Omg hihi ā¤ļø thank you

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In honor of the Chapter 1 preview, I canāt believe I drew this back in may and never posted it š
(Open for close up + full sprite)
100% agree with you about the lack of content for non backers on the game
We literally have stuff never shown to us, do you know that wip animation they posted recently asking "whose boobs do you think it is?" It was literally a post from JULY in Patreon šššš
They are literally not giving us anything
.
The whole backer situation has been bothering me.
I usually donāt vent, but in my opinion this whole dynamic has taken something really important away from the community: communication and the simple joy of talking and theorising together publicly.
Iāve noticed it for a long time now. Backers get early information, sometimes even things that never get posted publicly at all, and that splits the conversation. We end up discussing everything privately among ourselves, and by the time it becomes public, the hashtag is already dead because all the excitement and theories already happened behind closed doors.
As a result, the touchstarved hashtag is often dry or already over before the wider community even gets a chance to participate.
Iām not saying backers shouldnāt get the rewards they absolutely deserve. After all, they are the ones who financially supported the project to make it what it is now.
And as someone who was there from the very beginning. someone who came over from the last Legacy and Arcane fandom after everything that happened with Nix Hydra and the Dorian, I can say that I truly love this game and support it fully and i absolutely love this community.
I loved making theories together and collectively getting excited about every new update, all the beautiful art and fanfictions that came out of it too.
But the gap seems to be getting bigger. backers who get all the updates and information, and non-backers who get very little. And with the new update, I just felt the need to say it.
Thatās just my opinion, and maybe everyone sees it differently. I just had the feeling I needed to say it out loud.
