Nov | Sneak Peeks, Art Updates & Progress Report


Hello everyone, happy November!

After working hard in October, I finally finished writing chapters 2&3! Thank goodness!!!! YEAH THE SCRIPTING IS DONE!!!!!!!ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

In addition, even though life has been busy (I was so busy that I didn't have time to draw a Halloween art...), I still managed to make some progress last week. 

Here's a sneak peek:

Programming:
  • Fixed some UI displays, language selection, and chapter loading bugs.
  • Added image to notebook system
  • Wrote some new functions
  • Imported all CG and placeholder art
  • Finished Chap2 (like everything except CG art)
  • Added a love point system (yes, starting from chap 2, there will be some interesting endings waiting for you to explore!)
UI:

I updated the gallery and chapter selection page UI.

Gallery:

  • Moved the overall content up to show more CG.

Chapter Selection:

  • A while ago, when reviewing the outline, I decided to divide the story into three acts, so now the chapter selection is divided by acts:
    • Act 1: Prologue to Chapter 3
    • Act 2: Chapter 4 to Chapter 7
    • Act 3: Chapter 8 to Chapter 10
  • Enabled the chapter unlocking system.

Art Progress:

  • Renovated the ask-for-name screen
  • Finished sprites for two new characters.

  • Finished the new (semi-grown-up) illustrations for Hendrix and Edmund (2 for each ehehehehe)

  • Completed drafts for about 15 CGs and about 10 small illustrations (can't wait to finish them!)

...And that's it!

A little off-topic.

I recently recorded that I spend about 30-35 hours on this game every week. I was shocked when I saw this number hahaha.(ᕑᗢᓫ∗)˒

But I really love this game, so I want to finish it as soon as possible! I hope to finish this update before the end of November (or early December), and then I can take a break in December(maybe)... and then I hope to finish the remaining two acts in 2024.

Also, I've been receiving some donations for this game... I'm not sure how to contact you on itch.io, but I really appreciate it! THANK YOU!!!

Finally, let me end with some current game screenshots:


C2 Screenshots (Haven't finished English translation yet)


Yup. This is what my CG draft placeholder looks like in the game :)
