Hi! Just had a question, since your game is based on a real location, is it gonna be based on historical events, Or paranormal activity?

How much non reading gameplay/gameplay based progression do you think separates a visual novel as a different type of game entirely?

What is the technology of Silverstone like? I know there's smartphones and the like but is it on par, slightly ahead, or somewhere behind ours?

One thing that's fascinating me about the new update is the whole it all goes back to the lighthouse thing you've been teasing. It kinda reminds me of the first life is strange a bit. Did that game or the series as a whole inspire you or your creative process?

Saw the devlog. Quite unfortunate about those removals. I have the original 1.0 version and didn't see any comments about the Echo Project in the About section nor the Credits (beyond acknowledgement in the Credits)? It is ultimately your decision, though I really don't think that having them in your story "canonizes" them as being connected. They're not being referenced as real historical textbooks or anything, plenty of classes in college make you read fictional texts, especially if it was for some kind of elective/GE course. They're no more canon to the "reality" of the world than any fictional novel we might read, no one's claiming that every (or even any depending on the class) classical piece of literature we might read in an English class actually happened.
Unless you were talking about the stories being part of a more literary type canon? Some kind of worldbuilding concern surrounding what amounts to classic literature in your world? I don't think that's a major concern nor what you were worried about, but on the off chance you're worried about whether Adastra and co. are "deserving" of making some arbitrary cut to be canonized as great feats of literature/storytelling/drama/what have you in the greater context of culture in the world, I think it really should be fine. They're cute references and if you really want to overanalyze, a potential insight into the culture behind the world of Silverstone (or at least what one professor likes and wants to assign students as readings).
Regardless, whether it's for a worldbuilding concern or a fear of upsetting an author, I suppose it doesn't matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. Recognizing the references was fun though.
This was a long one! The special thanks to The Echo Project has been there since 1.0 if I remember correctly. I think they're cute references, but sometimes authors can consider stuff like that "game-jacking," for lack of a better term. I want to keep them in, but I want to respect the authors first. If Jericho, Howly, or Monchi and I ever get in contact and they say it's fine, I'll return them to the game!
The Echo Project special thanks also did cause some comparisons to Echo itself (rightfully deserved tbh). While I am fine with criticism like that usually, it just felt weird since the special thanks was in regards to the Adastra easter egg and not Echo itself haha. Just a little insecurity. Thanks for reading the devlog!

Are there any certain vns that inspired you to try to make your own?
I haven't played too many other FVNs or VNs in general, but Echo, Higurashi, and early builds of The Smoke Room were inspirations. A lot of games that ManlyBadassHero plays also got me interested in the genre (namely Cooking Companions, Don't Toy With Me, Charon's games, and the better written parts of Crimson Gray)
