Q: Is it going to be still free, even if you released some demos in other volumes of Time Will Travel?
A: Who said I don't? It will be free forever, as I don't own these assets, and they might be non-commercial.

Q: What do you only own?
A: I only own the Time Will Travel story and it's character concepts originally, but i still don't own them assets.

Q: Why use free assets? Is it laziness or a lack of skill?
A: Everything's not lazy, but I lack an art skill due to me going on other activities that I'm comfortable of. So, I happen to use free assets to make this visual novel game possible. Plus, these characters are also made via Gacha Club (+ Life and Life 2), which is already fine for me.

Q: Any ports for Android and iOS?
A: Possibly. I'm new to Ren'Py, so the port might not be possible unfortunately. iOS is impossible for me, since there is no mention for build distributions.

Q: Who made the Time Will Travel title and logo?
A: That was me, made in Photopea. I have most of the experience with photoshopping.

Q: Was this your first time developing a visual novel game like this? What about the other genres?
A: Yes, this was my first time tampering (aka learning) with Ren'Py and decided to make Time Will Travel interactive with your choices. I don't know about other genres, but I'm not unitely skilled with it.

Q: What has inspired you to make the Time Will Travel series?
A: From an anime called "Erased."

Q: Does it have a wiki page, like officially had a wiki page?
A: It does, and I did it myself! You can view these contents at The Hananezumi Project Wiki!

Q: Should I notify you if your game is recorded on stream or on a YouTube video?
A: Yep, just notify me if you did. I'd be happy to see some reactions!

Q: Can I contribute?
A: I'm only accepting translations, so keep that in mind.

Q: What was the browser version for?
A: It's the demo version, but the full version will be downloadable soon.
