Reflections
- I am not good at voice acting! π
- Making a visual novel-style Actual Play takes longer than I would have expected (I am really bad at estimating time)
- This was so much fun to work on!
- I ended up recording and re-recording parts of this over multiple days because I would go “I don’t like that” and then just do it again.
- Again, this was so much fun!
