Seems like I can expect another awesome VN from the maker of "That Cheap and Sacred Thing". xD Goodluck! *stalks the thread*

WHAT?! HOW COME THERE WERE A BILLION POSTS AND I HAD NO IDEA?!

Geez, I keep doing this. o.o Can you like, subscribe to a topic or something?
*looks*
Oh yeah, I could like, click the subscribe topic button. Ah ha ha! XD
*facepalm*

@Clannadman
Thanks for checking in! :D Um, not so well. My sprite artist has dropped out, and my CG artist, as you can see, has done some pretty badass work! 8D But he has his hand in other projects too, so work has been a bit slow, but it's alright!
Aaand I'm revising the script right now.

@ririruetoo @azurextwilight @OtomeWeekend @LumenAstrum

Awwww, you guys are too sweet! Thanks so much for the love, the compliments, and the interest! :D I'll do my best to try and make a good game for you all!


Like I said, the game currently lacks a sprite artist so I'm RECRUITING ARTISTS!!
If you are awesome, good at working with other people's styles, and interested, please let me know. :D
The game contains three sprites with about four expressions each and two have alternate outfits.

We are no longer recruiting because Pyonkotchi is now filling the "fabulous sprite artist" position! Hurray! :D

And made some fabulous Fantine sprites. o.o Holy crap.
Here's one! :D

I know, rite? X3

Well, there are two things I thought I'd talk about that I haven't mentioned yet. Please let me know what you guys think.

#1. There will be boys who like boys.

#2. The game has multiple endings, but they're not endings in the normal sense of the term. They're quite a bit longer. Each one is it's own story arc that is generally longer than the preamble that led up to it.
So it's less like you influence how the story will resolve, and more like you choose the story that is told to you. Make sense? o.o

It's like a pseudo-VN. I'm totally OK with that!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.
Did I mention that I love it? XD
Seriously though, I appreciate variety in any game, even more so when it comes to the characters' sexual orientations, as such variation happens way too rarely.

Yep. I haven't played a game like that, so it'd be a nice change of pace. ^o^b

Totes agreement. :3 Though I think either we're either getting better, or we're getting bigger as a community so there's more facets of us. XD I'm glad to see quite a few more BxB games in development and other games that have same-sex couple options.
Though we need more GxG stuff. o.o *complains even though I'm clearly not helping*

Glad to hear it! And I hope so. xD Hopefully it won't play like I lulled the player into a visual novel and then grabbed their choices from them. ^-^;;

I'm not even the same person anymore
