As I said, needs come in fits and starts. Nothing's out for testing at the moment, I won't be looking for people again until I finish the next path and that'll take some time.

This was set WAY behind schedule by things like all the Steam entanglements, but I have been writing again and have gotten to a first pass on Nazagi's route.

Statistics, for those who are interested in such things:

The game contains 4,905 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 75,896 words,
for an average of 15.5 words per screen.
The game contains 36 menus.


This means I am once again in a looking-for-readers phase.

The art and the story sound great! I'd love to help out as a beta-reader if you ever need one

I'm looking forward to this! The art is amazing, and the story sounds really interesting. I love royal romances and fantasy, so this is the best of all worlds for me. If I can help in anyway, just ask. :)

I'd love to beta-read! I'm technically a published writer (well, it was technical writing ;)), and I have a good eye for proofreading (if I do say so myself). Let me know if I can help out!

I love prince and princess themed Visual Novels, glad you're making another one =D! I never quite managed to finish Long Live the Queen (not without dying, I mean XP), so I'm quite eager for this one… Which I hope to be more, erm, easily beat-able?

This is a pure visual novel, no complicated stat juggling to worry about, so it won't be THAT hard. :)

(semi spoiler stuff about structure and difficulty)
Partway through the game, you find yourself in a Bad Situation. If you have managed to connect with any of the characters who have routes before that point, not love-love connect but enough that they're going to make an effort to help you out, then they become your ally and the game goes on from there. If you have no ally at that point... game over. So it's still more difficult than some. It doesn't have a default route to dump you on, not in the current plan.

this seems really promising and I'll look forward for the game release. (I hope it's not a commercial game? ;_;)
I'm not good in proof reading as English is not my native but I'll be watching this tread for further updates!

Making games is my day job, so pretty much everything is commercial. That's how I eat! :)

Ahh I see...
I wonder how much would the estimate price be?
I've never paid for a game in the western industry visual game so this could be my first time.
I'm sure it'll give a very fresh experience.
this game seems promising too, especially seeing how much it has been going on.
