style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">From the google form here were some of the key takes\/general feedback that <strong>directly applied to me<\/strong> as the <strong>environmental artist<\/strong> as well as the <strong>narrative writer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Some of the dialogue for him didn&#8217;t correspond to the options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Good game, I wish I could play the narrative through further<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Strong aesthetic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Engaging Narrative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Some typos in text (spaces between sentences, missing capital letters)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">I&#8217;d say possibly add some more dialogue options on the player&#8217;s end and have possibly a telltale pop up to say like &#8220;*enter name here* will remember that&#8221; but overall cool!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">The dialogue was quite cool and matched the stereotypical bad boy. maybe it would benefit from more dialogue choices and the game is very visually appealing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">I really like the art style it\u2019s really good<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">I love the art style and the colors of it, looking forward to the complete version of it! \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Another comment which wasn&#8217;t on the form was that Yami wasn&#8217;t centered in terms of the environment as shown
