I just want to say thank you for reading this! Look how far we've come — it's insane!
There are a few points I want to highlight:
1. I won't skip the 16-bit console era, even though Zaboru could directly create a 32-bit console. Why? Because 16-bit consoles are my favorite — I literally grew up with them. Also, I want to separate PS1 games from 16-bit games since the PS1 had a lot of weird but amazing titles. Back then, 3D gaming was just starting to thrive.
2. I'll often skip technical stuff. Why? Because it can be boring!
3. I also want to introduce time skips when necessary. You've probably noticed that I rarely use major time skips, right? That's because I love showing daily or weekly progress. Still, I'm trying to tone it down a bit so the novel can move forward.
4. I actually have some experience as a game developer — though it's still just a hobby for now. In the future, when I can afford proper developer gear, I might try to recreate some of the games from this novel, like Karate Bunny or Koro-Cool. Haha! It's a distant dream, but who knows?

5. About — I mentioned releasing four Chapters a day, but I'm going to revise that. Instead, I'll give subscribers additional Chapters when I feel like it. It could be more or less, depending on how much I write.
6. I've been feeling pretty unwell lately because I keep getting soaked in the rain after work. Dayum!
7. Please keep the comments and advice coming! I read them all, and if something seems viable, I might seriously consider it.
8. There are plenty of you asking this but let me tell you this, here's a small spoiler: I'm refraining from making or demaking indie games. Why? Because in the future, when the novel reaches the internet era and ZAGE become really massive I want Zaboru to be a mysterious indie developer, separate from his ZAGE work. He'll create those games using ZAGE's resources, but no one will know it's him! That's why I'm holding back on games like Undertale, Terraria, and Celeste. Even though they could be demake for NES/SNES in the real world, I don't want to do that in this novel
10. Thank you guys for your support!
