Hello everyone! I didn't expect to actually stick to my plan this month! OMG..._(:з」∠)_

Anyway, the progress in April was pretty good - besides revising Chapter 5, I also successfully finished the Hendrix and Edmund's route -- and now is time for Noah's Route! My plan is to finish his route (Chap 7~8) in May. 

Noah's story happens after MC finishes Hendrix & Edmund's route, so MC&Noah's relationship will be a bit more complex (but it's fun to write). I am super excited for them!

April Progress:

Finish Chapter 5 (Week 14) 

Finish Chapter 6 H-Route (Week 15-16) 

Finish Chapter 6 E-Route (Week 16-17) 

Finish Chapter 6 (Week 17) 

Chap 7&8 Outline  (Week 18)

Plans for May: 

Finish Chapter 7 (Week 19) 

Finish Chapter 8 (Week 20-21) 

Outline for Chapter 9, Chapter 10, and Epilogue (Week 22)

Apart from developing the game (actually, burning my soul for it) this month, there were also significant changes in my day-job (my manager resigned, so now I have a new person to report to -- I will be much busier). And I'll be going back to China for two weeks in May, so the writing progress will relatively slow down.

Writing TROT is a long process, and it often feels like it's taking forever. But I've learned that the key is to keep going and finish what I've started, even if it's not perfect. Sometimes I have to push myself to write, but when I look back, I'm surprised by how much I've accomplished. Inspiration can be fleeting, so it's important to seize the moment when it comes. Now that TROT is more than halfway done, I feel a mix of happiness and sadness knowing that the end of the characters' stories is approaching. ...I have to say, creating games & stories is truly an amazing journey!

A side note, in April I did an art trade with @rice-love-coffee and she drew some SUPER CUTE chibi and a astonishing illustration for TROT! EVERYONE, LOOK AT THOSE PIECES!!!!  ε٩ (๑> 灬 <)۶з 

They are just soooooo cute....

Finally, I hope that by the end of May, I'll have finished writing the script for Act 2! 

Thank you for reading :)
