Hello dreamers. 

I've never finished a game project before. This is probably the most "professional" effort I've made so far. I refuse to let this fail too, even if I chose to publish a silly text adventure that 90% of people will skip and 90% of the rest won't figure out how to play.

I started drawing in 2002 and never got around to forming a proper community, so I have no real support network. I've seen the world crumble into smolders around me, and it's very difficult to put a lot of effort into something that could just be a lot of hot air that accomplishes nothing.

RNSNSF is supposed to be part of a pair. The other member is Frozen Tears, which takes place hundreds of years ago and is nowhere near as joyful. It takes place in a world kind of like ours - a world of predators and prey. A world of bandits that threatens to destroy itself if it does not turn away from hatred and selfishness.

We fetishize villains in our fiction - make excuses for all the dark knights who blow up cities and make main protagonists into orphans.

We forgive flawed heroes in our fiction - we applaud them as their shadow steps out of the mirror and falls to their blade, leaving only their light.

But in reality, we hate villains and heroes alike. You can spend ten, twenty, thirty years building something beautiful, and your career will end at once as soon as the first parasite makes a public accusation, whether you did anything wrong or not. You don't get to overcome your shadow. Instead, you are forced to become only your shadow.

Many of these people hamming up these accusations are gunning their fellow man down in the streets.

I have no idea how many other wouldbe heroes are sitting at home depressed, afraid, and hopeless like me.

Frozen Tears takes place in world of banditry, hypocrisy, and despair just like ours.

RNSNSF's very existence is optimistic. It means that Frozen Tears ultimately has a happy ending before I've made a single screen of that very unhappy game.

But that happy ending is hundreds of years off, and it may be that we on Earth won't get one at all.

That's why RNSNSF, which I first started working on two years ago, isn't done yet.

That's why Frozen Tears, probably started the same time, isn't done yet.

That's why Sword of Dreams and Those Little Charmers and Night of the Vixen and CyberELF and Reverie Equestria and Eternal Mobius never came to anything.

Sorry.

I'll at least finish this one.
