Scriptwriting is at 50 percent.
Art at 10 percent

Aquae will be getting a final facelift for Arc III. My drawing style has been changing vastly between each arc, which is nice. Originally I wasn't supposed to be the artist for the visual novel but since we couldn't find one I had to take up the position.

Here's a comparison:
2008


2011


Really saddening to think I've been working on this for almost 4 years now! But with the project I discovered my latent drawing skills. So those of you who are drawing don't give up!

On another note: The third arc of Aquae will be released in a compiled edition, containing all 3 arcs, you will get to choose which arc to take via the new main menu screen.

Wow, I am impressed with how much your art has improved. It really encourages me to keep drawing.

I've probably commented already in the past and just forgotten but in case I didn't I will say a couple words. I played ARC I shortly after it was released, loved it. Played ARC II as soon as it came out, and as expected I loved it too. I have a passion for Mer (and other water stuff) so I'm really glad you have taken so much time to make this wonderful story and share it with us.

Keep up the great work, I am looking forward to ARC III!

That's what I call some serious art improvement! >w<

It's so nice to look at your art now and compare it from your art back then, isn't it? Especially when you have so much improvement- makes you feel proud, ne? ;w;

You could consider it then as some luck that you couldn't find an artist back then- things really turned out for the good now, right?!

Your story is really long but well worth it. I was so in shock when I thought it ended with Aquae II- Ocean Tide. I thought " That's it. That can't be it. That can't be the ending!?" I was lost and confused. I wound up with so many Q's like Is that white haired woman that they met (sorry been awhile since I've read it so I can't remember her name) Kaizarel's mother?

But I'm glad that's not the ending.
Your picture above is amazing. I hardly recognized the trio.

Hello everyone. This is Lyndis, co-writer of Aquae and member of R3 productions.

I regret to inform that this thread is no longer relevant, as it turns out we will not be finishing the third and final installment of the Aquae ~Crystal Clear Waters~ storyline. I do, however, thank you all for reading, the positive feedback and for the motivation given throughout our work. It was a fun learning experience for us all.

Thank you for your time and interest.

I appreciate all that you guys have done thus far, it was very enjoyable. Sad to hear the finale won't be, but life happens and things are always changing. I wish the whole team the best of success in the future. I know you have positively effected many people with this work, myself included. I'm sure your you can all be proud of what was accomplished and learned in the process of making this. Thanks for everything ^_^

Ah, it's too bad, that Aquae won't be continued... I really liked the story and the artworks. The way of storytelling was very nice and always sucked me in a fantastic new world. I think that a lot of people loved your work...
Thanks for your great work so far!!! I hope we will see some works from you guys in future!
