July Update 1 (thank you for 500 dowloads!)


Twitter | Tumblr | Patreon | Ko-fi | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube

Announcement: The demo has been downloaded 500 times!

We're also very close to 500 collections, so if you haven't added Her Choice yet, you know what to do (˵¯⌄¯˵)

A heartfelt thank you, to all of you who have given our game a chance and played the demo. 500 might seem like a small number, but to us, it's still a big milestone. A year and a half ago, when Moon and I decided to work on a visual novel together, we would have had a hard time wrapping our heads around the amount of love and kindness we've received from this amazing community ❤

I hope you will go on supporting us, as we keep working hard to deliver you a game that will be worth your patience and time!


On that note, here's our weekly report to you. July is off to go a good start, let's take a closer look at what we've got done so far.


☐ Script

The current word count for Act 1 is 128k. My projected total word count is around 180-200k (15-20k for the common route, and 55-60k for each love interest). 

Last month I had to take a step back from actual writing in order to — among other things — code everything we have added to the game recently. I don't want our artist and composer to fall too behind, so I have to regularly check that our current assets are working properly, and collate any new ones we might need.

What happens when I skip doing this for a month? See below ...


☐ Sprites

... for example, this absolutely gorgeous formal outfit Scai going to waste

Because I hadn't updated the sprite list in a while, Moon (rightly) assumed they had to draw the formal alternates for all the main characters, and Scai's not being listed was my miss. ( ; ω ; ) Who's going to tell them now? 

Not me.

I don't care if Scai had "reasons" to not be at the party, I mean just look at him, I'm going to make him attend no matter what, dammit.


On a side note, here are the updated sprite and the formal outfit alternate for Director Dernol:


(Though I have this feeling nobody really cares about seeing more of him ...)


☐ Backgrounds


The park area is finally coming together. I'm tempted to add a couple more scenes, but to be honest, I'm more concerned about the ever-bloating of the game file's size. If I figure a way to better optimize the files, I might squeeze them in later on, but for now we'll work with these. 


☐ GUI

I can finally show you the updated Note menu \(≧▽≦)/


See you next time!
