    It's cute. Obviously since it's based on a book I know you can't control the story, but I think it would be greatly improved if the female protagonist actually already had a crush on him and then the magic "no-lying" artifact forced her to confess. (I've only seen this animatic so I am guessing at the details, but I picked up from this animatic that the artifact seemed to force them both to tell the truth) And I think that the female protagonist should have just told 100% the truth--like, "I already like you. But it's not anything like true love--it's just infatuation--no...I mean...I just admire who you are as a person. BUT I would never ever act on my feelings. I'm not that type of person. I guess I don't know what that says about me...but you don't have to worry." Something along those lines. I just think that would be a much more interesting take.

    Thank you! Yes, the device forces them to say the truth. And yes, I am limited by the book (which I love). But your suggestion is great too. I laughed out loud imagining your suggested dialogue/situation unfold. Soooo good.

    ​@@MaruExposito :) Thanks. I'm working on developing an indie video game that's a romantic adventure story so that means a lot to me too to hear someone likes an idea I have. Let me know if you might be interested in reviewing my story--sorry for shameless plug. But, I figured I'd ask. I'm just getting started forming a team. Will need VAs too eventually.

    Art blocks are tough, the more you want to get out of it, the harder it becomes. Thanks for sharing your perspective its interesting to see how other artists cope with that. Its also good to see that all artists go through the same and its not just me XD Sometimes social media cretes the ilusion that all artists are very productive all the time.

    For specific deadlines for art I've only had that those that were from working on other people's projects in which case I don't in which case I don't get art block because the reasons for it are non factors in that case. Drawing inbetweens doesn't require much in the way of creativity for example.
