A clarification and an apology


Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've checked how this game has been doing (mainly due to being very busy working on a certain other game), and I'm very thankful that so many have played and enjoyed it. Truly, thank you so much for that! :)

While catching up on the game's reviews and some of the comments however, I've noticed a recurring theme of confusion regarding the unknown MC's gender. This most specifically refers to some players feeling uncomfortable by the fact that The Guide will always call you Miss Pumpkin, which of course has feminine connotations.

Here's the full disclosure of my original intent: The Guide doesn't give a shit. This means that regardless of how you may feel, he decides to call you that because he thinks it fits you somehow. Is it because you look feminine? Not necessarily. The character is, after all, a weird, non-human entity with limited (although fairly well-researched) knowledge regarding the nuances of things such as gender socializing.

That being said, though, I recognize that this intent may not have been entirely obvious, and I also understand that it may have been hurtful to some players. I apologize for this, and I've edited the game's description to clarify that Miss Pumpkin is, in fact, a canonically female character; which is something I hadn't fully decided on at the time of writing Guidelicious.

Thank you everyone for playing my games, letting me know what you think about them, and for all the fantastic support!

You make my day, every day.

All the love,

Tymedust

Edit: After receiving multiple reports on various heated comments attached to this devlog, I've decided to close the comments section as I frankly would just prefer to move on instead of revisiting this over and over. Thanks for sharing your opinions and viewpoints, I really appreciate your interest in my lil' game. :) <3
