All these comments about clothing are very helpful! Thanks, all of you. :3 I really appreciate the clever ideas with clothing design!
Chansel, that's such a super smart and simple way of adding details... Also, thanks for the link, Deji! :'D

lepapillonrouge, don't worry, I kind of cheated with the menus. Haha.
Like half of the menus are for the "background on Astrology and Zodiac signs" portion. LOLOLOL.

Also, to answer pastel's question about the demo:
I think I'll release it sometime in the summer--maybe July. Definitely after exams in June...

...Which reminds me, I should be studying. D:

Sooo. I actually made the varied poses/expressions for the Riley + Zach character sprites. Drew more outfits, too! (Again, thanks for all the comments on clothing. I'm actually such an unfashionable person OTL)
(LOL, when am I ever gonna make progress on the other characters? xD)

And I worked a little bit on the script itself.
Quote:
Statistics:
The game contains 181 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 1683 words,
for an average of 9.3 words per screen.
The game contains 11 menus.

Hahaha. I totally meant it when I said "a little bit".

I typed out a bit more the story, and I've decided to add two more chaseable characters... One of them is going to be a student teacher, for Ancient History. That's like the nerd cliche (*cough*MEGANE*cough*) mixed with the "forbidden sensei romance" (except not really. Because he's not technically a teacher...) And the other will be "the childhood friend". Oh dang, I'm really playing on these shoujo manga plot devices, eh?

But never fear. They won't be totally cliched. They'll be multidimensional, like actual people are! ;D

And a question to people (who've actually made it this far into the post without losing interest :'D. I applaud you.)... what kinds of scenes would you like to see in otome games? I'm just curious~ Heehee.

I commend you for how far your getting! I'm excited to see the different outfits as well!
Oh, and I'm loving the new additions, forbidden sensei romance <33 and childhood friend always turn out to be a cute story!

As for scenes, I'm totally drawing a blank here. Do you mean places? Or situations?

Omg !! A teacher ?! This is such a good idea >__< I want a screen shot !!
Even if you say that it is a "cliché" there are not a lot of game in this forum where you can chase after a teacher :p

I hope everything is alright concerning the game's progress !
I will be waiting for more info, good luck ;)

Ps: concerning the scenes are you refering to events or CGs ? I didn't got it :x

@ pastel ; thank you! Haha. I hope I can keep up the effort, though. I usually end up starting projects with extreme enthusiasm, then give up halfway. D:
And YES. I love the sensei + childhood friend romances. >w<

@ azureXtwilight ; glad you like the new additions! ;D

@ Riviera ; LOL! And ha--actually, Zach is also my favourite~

@ Nanally ; Hm, you're right! I haven't really seen many games when you can go for teachers. D: But hey, there's been a lot of otome games in development lately, so who knows, eh?

--------

ALSO, by "scenes", I was just wondering, what kinds of events people would like to see in VNs... Sorry for the ultra-confusing wording!

And I don't have any screenshots on any of the new characters, but here's a WIP shot of a Zach CG. :'D
Now that I'm pretty much finished the pic, I have this overwhelming urge to redo it OTL.

Aha, it was one of my favorite guy so I'm fine with that :D

Events...

Guy walking you home

Study date, either at your or his house or at a library... or heck, even in a park. You can study in a park! The fresh air is good for you!

Seasonal activities. Ice skating/skiing/snowboarding/snowball fights/making snow angels in winter, raking up (and playing in) leaves/fishing/going to local gardens and picking veggies or fruit in fall, swimming/sports (volleyball, soccer, tennis, w/e)/fishing in summer, visiting flower or butterfly gardens/planting trees or flowers or veggies or fruit for your own garden in spring

Hummmm. Bowling. Movies. Video games. Going to a pet store either to actually get a pet or just to pet the cute animals. One of you getting a tattoo. One of you practicing a musical instrument (or sport or some other skill) and teaching the other a few things about it. Amusement park or regional fair, complete with junk food, screaming kids, sickness on the roller coaster, mushiness on the ferris wheel.

Maybe one or the other of you geeking out over your particular passion (movie, book, whatever) and trying to convince the other to like it, successfully or not.

.... That was probably too much, really. But I brainstormed best I could, and hopefully you can use at least a few of those ideas. :D

Yeah, when I was making the suggestions I have to admit a few of them did come from Tokimemo, but since it is in a similar setting, they would work here too. I think they'd be implemented a lot differently here though. :)
