Outfits and haircuts?! :O
Sounds awesome...

The characters appear very compelling. I'm normally not interested in GxG elements of otome games, but based on your description, Kaori seems very interesting, realistic, and not at all stereotypical. There is potential for a lot of complexity in this character that, in my experience, is often missing from GxG paths. (Seriously, I will be very happy to see lesbianism handled in a way that is not just pure fan service to male players. :))

Anyway...I can't really help you with BGs or CGs (I'm no artist), but if you ever want help with characterization, proofreading, or just someone to bounce ideas off of, let me know.

Oh, and the artwork looks great so far. :D

@ IonicMomo
Really, you're willing to help me with the characters and the proofreading? That'd be awesome! Up until now I've been handing my poor, very uninterested mother all my writing XD She'd be relieved to hear there's someone else who's willing to help out :)
I'll send you a pm after posting this.

@ Nanashiko, azureXtwilight and Victoria
You all just made my day ^^
And I'll be sure to let my artist know you love her work =D

Xx

Alright everyone, a quick update with the statistics after having written and scripted one scene:
The game contains 372 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 4078 words,
for an average of 11.0 words per screen.
The game contains 12 menus.
Now how's that for multiple dialog/event options? :P

Also, EriDaiho has just sent me the first sketches of Kai =D So you (and I) can expect a final version coming soon :)

Xx

A character driven game with lots of choices that change the story? I think you just got yourself another stalker :P

The artist is very talented too! I can't wait to see what everyone else looks like ^^

@Lanna
Never thought I'd say this, but:
"Yay, a stalker =D"
And you're not the only one who can't wait for the sprites XD But alas, the artist is very busy with schoolwork right now. So that's why it's taking longer than expected for the new sprites to be finished. But, she's coloring Kai. So, any day now ^^

@aestate
Thanks :) I can only hope it'll be as fun as it looks ;)

@Aquane & Cain0425
Well, I find it hard to make an estimate... Especially since I don't have a CG artist yet ^^" ...nor a BG one (though I suppose that I could use photo's or something instead, if I really can't find one). The story, however, is coming along nicely. I've got most of the scenes summarized in a word document and all the characters are fully developed by now :) Though it's going to be a fairly large game, so I'm afraid it'll take longer than I had originally expected.
Aleema is working on the interface and we have some great ideas for this, so at the very least you can expect to start seeing screenshots from that in the coming weeks. And when the interface is up and running, I was thinking of releasing a demo with that that'll also include the beginning of the story. So, it'll basically be a demo/sneak peak/test run :P But since I'm not doing this on my own, I'm afraid I can't say any dates. I don't want to tell you it'll be done in a week just to disappoint you when it's done in two... Once I have a date though, I'll be sure to let you (and anyone else who's interested) know ^^

@Everyone
Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm. It makes me want to release this game as fast and good as possible =D
Here's a quick lint, so you know that I've got another scene in there:
The game contains 865 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 9669 words,
for an average of 11.2 words per screen.
The game contains 38 menus.
Hehe, I guess I basically doubled the previous statistics ^^" (with a little extra)
Note that this is just from one full scene and one path from the opening scene.
So this'll give you a good idea of what I meant when I said it's going to be bigger than I had originally thought :)
