Hope you all had a great September!

Before we take a look at this month's progress, I have an announcement to make:

TotES Studio P. will be going on break until the end of November.

Travel bans have just been lifted in my region, so I can finally go home and spend time with my family, which I haven't seen in over 2 years (T⌓T)
There will also be a mountain of long overdue paperwork waiting for me, so at the moment I have no clue how much time I'll be able to dedicate to Her Choice. I'll probably be focusing on drafting up Kanzen's route, which basically means a bunch of words that don't make for a very interesting devlog. But if we do get new content, I'll still publish the monthly updates (one at the end of October and one at the end of November).

I hope you guys will understand (>人<；)

☐ Script

The script is over 70% complete right now (the remaining 30% mostly being Kanzen's route and the additional / optional scenes that focus on the supporting cast).

Day 6 on Hano's route is almost done, and will feature cameos from both Totes and BotJ characters; more funny shenanigans; a lore face-off; and *drumroll* a once-in-a-lifetime-chance to see Hano taking his first baby steps into romance as he attempts to flirt with you. How do you think that is going to go?

☐ Backgrounds

We've shown you some of Wingate's fanciest locations, but there is more to the city than gilded recording studios and upscale shopping avenues. On Hano's route, you'll be diving into the grittier side of town as you try to uncover the secrets surrounding the studios.

This set of backgrounds was a little tricky to make. I wanted to give it a different atmosphere compared to the other locations, but it still had to fit into the same overall aesthetics. It ended up being more desolate than eerie, but I'm still pretty happy about it. What do you think?

☐ CGs

If I had it my way, there would be an otome law that states that every hug and kiss, kabedon and yukadon, catch and carry must come with a CG  ( *￣＾￣*)

I'm ready to sign the petition any day. In the meantime, I will nonchalantly sneak in as many as I can into Her Choice.

And with that, we've shared WIPS of all 3 boys carrying our heroine. Which one do you prefer? Who would you want to be carried by? I'm really curious, so let me know in the comments!

Even though Zan's CG was already half-done, we were not satisfied with the composition so Moon made some changes to the crop and pose.

Zan and the MC are more in focus, and the way they are holding each other feels more intimate, creating a stronger separation between them and Rajar.

The before and after:

☐ Other

Just for funs, here's a little snippet from Zan's route we shared earlier last week on Twitter:

Love you all and catch you in December!

In the meantime, make sure to follow our Twitter, as we'll keep sharing short updates, sketches and game visuals over there!
