Thanks for this beautiful game. I really like the concept of putting a story together and having that story serve the people of the village. I worked in oral histories for two years with former mill workers, and our work was much like that. Also, it's interesting that the illusive character is named Derrida. Jacques Derrida is the literary critic who developed "deconstruction," a process for un-building a narrative. So, I thought that Derrida might be working to un-build Myositis' efforts to construct his story.
Pastel, I dig it!
Big fan. Echoing everyone else, the load times are tough. I wonder if Kongregate would consider coding some of the server-side singleplayer stuff right into the flash, so the lag didn't hit so hard. It seems like they should do that or boost the processor powah dedicated to us players.
