Final exams at university are over, I’m officially back!

As you may know, I am just an ordinary sophomore from a second-tier university in China, Langfang Normal University, a nobody among all students. I finished my last exam—Applied Mathematical Statistics—at 6 p.m.

  • Balance
changedI have zero operating funds. The $100 Steam store listing fee was scraped together from the leftover money of my living expenses over three months. For this reason, I cannot afford to hire artists or any paid promotion services. All artwork is AI-generated; every single image took dozens of prompt adjustments before reaching its final version. I have done everything within my limited capacity. If the visuals still fail to meet your expectations, I offer my deepest apologies as the sole developer for letting you down. Actually, I don’t major in game development at all. I learned Ren'Py entirely on my own in my spare time after classes to make this game. If the final result fails to satisfy you, please accept my apologies once more—I truly have done everything I could.

As you may know, I am just an ordinary sophomore from a second-tier university in China, Langfang Normal University, a nobody among all students. I finished my last exam—Applied Mathematical Statistics—at 6 p.m. this afternoon. I had to focus all my energy on reviewing for finals these days and simply couldn’t spare any time for work. Therefore, please accept my sincerest apologies to all my business partners. Starting from now, I will sort out and properly deal with all accumulated work step by step.Steam post imageSteam post imageSteam post imageSteam post image

All English translations you see were written entirely by myself. I drafted every paragraph manually, scanned my handwritten notes into digital text, proofread repeatedly, and refined every sentence before finalizing the copy. Attached are some of my rough drafts for reference.Steam post imageSteam post image

To celebrate the official launch of my game, I planted a Hedysarum scoparium sapling before. Now that I’m officially back on track, I’ve planted another seabuckthorn sapling, and I sincerely wish this game great sales.Steam post imageSteam post image

Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every player who supports my game. Thank you all so much for sticking with me on this journey.

I’m back!
