Updating the progress on this project. I've been focusing mainly on revisions and have recently added some background sound effects in various places such as the scene near a river. Again, these are things that aren't very screenshot conducive. >_<

I'm considering a second demo release with these background sound effects if people are interested in it.

I'm more interested in
Crows Project: Internal Alpha
because I'm curious to its status. Although, glad to know this one's going too.

Sorry about the lack of updates on Crows Project.

Our artist has been fairly busy this summer and hasn't gotten a chance to work on the art which is the main thing that's left to do on this project. Scripting and programming are all done, though I might go back and do some editing in of sound effects like I have in Noctua. I can't say when it'll be ready at this point, but we definitely hope to get it out the door by the end of the year.

The CGs are looking rather impressive on this game! Best of luck for completion!
I released 3 VNs, many moons ago: Elven Relations (IntRenAiMo 2007), When I Rule The World (NaNoRenO 2005), and Cloud Fairy (the Cute Light & Fluffy Project, 2009).
More recently I designed the board game Steam Works (published in 2015), available from a local gaming store near you!
