What in the name of Front Page?!

Hi!! Uh. Hello!! I wasn't expecting to ever make a blog post about this game, since it's a complete game, but uh. I was about to go to sleep last night and was just rolling around the usual sites I visit, and I saw I'd gotten an achievement... FOR HAVING MY GAME SPOTLIGHTED ON THE FRONT PAGE?! HELLO?!?!
So I went back to the front page because I hadn't noticed, and... WOW...
"Fight for your wish!" aaa what a cool prompt/sentence for TotS... Thanks to whoever did that!
Needless to say I was shocked, excited, all of that! It's an honor! The event was very fun to participate in, and I'm glad I got over my nerves and went for it (making a game in 14 hours is uh... no joke).
There honestly isn't much else to say or show since, again, this game is a complete one... but to see that my first "fully complete" game got me an achievement like this is very, very... sweet and amazing!
Alright I'm not the best with words, that's not the point! I just wanted to say, thank you very much!
...
...
And between you and me, I have a few ideas in my head about a... potential sequel to their story. It's not something that I'd see myself working on until years later from now, especially since I'm currently working on Call of the Overseer, but I have had a few thoughts. And a few sketches of their sequel designs, if that interests you:
Zeiss had already been a student studying alchemy before the events of TotS, but he took a break afterwards for... a few reasons. In the end, this image is of him soon after he graduated/became certified. He's still unsure of what exactly he wants to do with his certification, but traveling the world and using his alchemy to help others with Apollo doesn't sound bad to him...
Apollo is a descendant of a famed warrior, and the family has passed down many teachings and abilities. He continues honing those skills after the events of TotS, but is ultimately struggling to figure out if he should try to use his strength in some sort of career. ...Well, no matter what, he knows he wants to stick with Zeiss & protect him, should the need arise.
A more refined idea of older Zeiss' outfit.
Aaand a slightly more refined idea of older Apollo (+Zeiss)'s outfit. Well, the bust-up of it, at least.

CloseWhat games manage to get spotlighted on the front page works in mysterious ways.
But congratulations on getting one of the gamespots for this month! It’s like winning the Intercontinental Championship in the WWE, but we all know that the real prize, and recognition, comes in the form of getting that main featured spot! If you can get that, then you know that you’re game is good!
Maybe you might get that down the road??? You never know!
EDIT: Wait, this is your “first” completed game and you did it in under 14 hours?!?!?!
W-Wow!
I think we’ve discovered the reason why so many people don’t manage to finish their games: they need to be put under a lot more pressure and to be put under a strict time limit. That will do it!

@Addit aaa thank you! I was seriously in awe when I saw this game had gotten one of the sidebar/spotlight games, so I can't imagine how I'd react if something of mine got on the main featured spot lmao
And yep, this is technically my first "complete from start to finish + published" game! I definitely made many projects that were just "make the first cutscene or two and then scrap the project" back when I first got into RPGM (near the end of vx/ before vx ace's release I believe), so all those years must've helped here...
I feel like I work a bit better when I have a time limit because then I can't really procrastinate or anything. All 3 games/demo's I've made (well, only 2 on this site) were made for game events of various lengths, so yeah...
@Liberty thank youuuu :'''O
