I'm sorry for not replying in so long. To be completely honest I have been avoiding this thread, especially after my last post here. I was afraid that people would be angry at me for having trouble with the game. I'm glad to see that I was mostly wrong ^_^ I also didn't want to post anything until I had something to show.
So, what have I been doing?
1. Finished a new main menu image. I'm not totally happy with it though. This is what will be used for the demo, but if I'm not completely burnt out/lazy by the time the full game comes out, I'll probably change it.

2. Polished up the textbox a bit, and all of the buttons are hidden until you hover over them. All I have to do now is the save/load screens and the GUI is done.
Here's how it looks when you hover over the right side of the textbox.

3. Have some more screenshots. I've been writing a lot of scenes, and the current wordcount is 49,653 words.


4. The broken drive has been fixed. (For those who didn't know, the flashdrive that I used for the game broke and seemed unsalvagable. Luckily I got it repaired at a computer repair shop, at the cost of a week's worth of groceries ^___^;;)
In a short while, I'm going to be setting up a way for people to give donations if they desire. Some people offered to pay for me to repair my drive, which I just couldn't accept... but it got me thinking, maybe those same people would be willing to donate? Well, I guess I'll find out when the time comes. If I end up making a reasonable amount of money from that, I'll use it for something game related... been wanting to make (P)lanets merch for a while (like keychains and buttons, since I have an nifty button machine). I wonder if anyone would like that sort of thing :0

It's always been easy for me. I know it's rare for you to actually accept this offer, but if you would like my help it would be easy for me to write according to the character's personality and the plot for what you want written. I know it's a long shot, but I just want the game out to play. Either way, GOOD LUCK and DON'T GIVE UP!

Thanks for offering to help. I seem to have gotten over my writer's block for now, but I wrote your name down to contact you if I ever need help.

If you're talking about in the video, Mikah wasn't actually saying the line. He has a different line ("I hate sadness.") I just overlayed Haruhi's quote with the picture of him holding a star because that quote is representative of the game and I wanted to bring it back in the 2nd game. Sorry if it seemed unclear.. I'm going to be remaking the video later on anyway.

Huh, well, to be honest I have NO idea how I would continue a story with the same characters from the first game. Considering the fact that Marin lost her powers, would a 2nd game with them be at all interesting? ^_^;
