Hello everyone! (≧◡≦)

We have a very special announcement to make, so read until the end to find out!

But first, let's talk progress!

☐ Script

At 95% complete, the script is currently hovering around 180k words!

This month, I finished writing Kanzen's route

...and had to take a break to lie on the floor while sobbing my heart out ... wait, this is only Act 1, why has it become like this (ಥ﹏ಥ)

In April, I will focus on finishing the missing handful of scenes, then move on to complete the Extras:

• While you play through the game you will collect chapters from 3 in-game books. Reading these chapters is entirely optional, but we hope you will enjoy delving deeper into Her Choice's world and figuring out how these tales are connected to the story at hand.
• Act 1 will feature 3 Memories from our heroine's days in Arkaia's School of Alchemy. Due to her mysterious past, our MC has to keep many secrets, even when doing so means attracting the suspicions of all those around her.
• Many of you enjoyed his side sections of the demo, so we've added more scenes seen through the love interests' eyes, including memories from their childhood (✧ω✧)

☐ Sprites

Unfortunately, this month little work was done for the character art, since I didn't make any progress on the sprite direction side of things.

I really want to share more of those alternate outfit Zanas sprites with you, but I can't because of spoilers （ ; ; ）

In April, we'll make sure to set aside time to work on the side cast sprites, so we'll have more images to share!

☐ Backgrounds

I've been making steady progress on the backgrounds.

How do you like the way Higre decorated his changing room? I think it's pretty neat, if I can say so myself ( • ᴗ • )

☐ CGs

I'm so proud of Moon for the amazing work they've been putting in for the CGs. There are so many images we'll not be able to share with you here (you'll have to play the game to see them all!), but I'll try to share as many as I can.

In the meantime, here's a teenage pic of Hano, no context.

☐ Code and GUI

While I enjoy programming, I'm not a professional, so it often feels like a struggle, every issue that is solved adding two new ones to that endless to-do list (×_×)

I spent half of March working through the code and fixing the GUI, and it's still not quite done yet. At the moment, it's the workload that is worrying me the most, because ...

Here it comes ...

Last but not least ... our very special announcement!

A new, enhanced, improved, polished, extended demo!

The original demo is now more than a year old. So much has changed since then, and we feel it's no longer representative of the game's current quality. With Act 1 nearing completion, it only seemed fitting that we got a new demo out, so you get to sample all the cool things I've been sharing with you in these devlogs.

I'll be announcing the release date in an upcoming devlog, so stay tuned!
