Waxwing[otome, fantasy, commercial] Hiatus

[ShadowBerry]

omg Shin.... O___O
I want you!!! >////<

[spooky]

Aaaah the art! :3 The colouring is so pretty~ I was trying to figure out who Ten reminds me of, but I think it must be Mystica from Fading Hearts...
Anyway! I always like the idea of trapped royalty (I actually started writing my own story involving it a while back) so I'm definitely interested in this. ^_^
I really like sound of all the characters, I think maybe Taga might be my favourite.. or Rek... I always like the mean/aloof ones...
The names are all quite unusual but not too out there, which is always a plus, too.
I hope things go well for you! I've followed the tumblr. c:

Oh. My. Gosh. THE ART!!! *squeel* They're so cute!! The characters look so great! It only makes me wonder how everyone can draw/paint so well Everything's so gorgeous.
The story line look really interesting as well, and I'll be looking to your updates.
It's not often that something as good as this isn't commercial. I'm really happy.
Good luck with this

@MioSegami : Thank you! Yes working hard and climbing slowly!

@TheOneTwo : MioSegami is no mistake that this game is free. I should put it at the front page since it's asked so often. ^^;

@Blane Doyle : Omg your post just made me tear up a bit. As much as I want receive earnings in exchange for my time spent on this game, I have to say that Waxwing is my childhood story. I don't want it to turn into a game with money as my motivator. Also, I don't have the mental power to answer to customer's unsatisfaction for my debut. Another reason is because of the free background and music resources. I do believe that all commercial games should have original content.
I do agree that free doesn't mean it's not as good as commercial and vice versa. It just depends on the creator and their reasons for why they want to make it commercial or non-commercial.
I feel so overwhelmed from reading your comment, it motivates me even more now!

@EchoLove : Way to learn to be a professional but thank you so much! ♥

@ShadowBerry : Awww! Glad to change Shin's looks! Shin is happy that you want him hehe!

@spooky : Don't worry! I got some feedback and I do think that Ten's appearance isn't too original. There's a lot of girls with long and pink hair ^^;
I like stories about royalties too! I hope you're still working on your game, don't give up!
I'm glad you like the two most important/main character in the story. Wait no, I mean expect to be the main character though everyone is important in the story depending on your choice!
Lastly, I'll be sure to update first on tumblr so yes, please do follow it and have a nice day!♥

@Devil's Truth : Thank you very much! I still have a long way to improve T_T

------------------------------------
A small update :
I had a skill trade with Ziassan a few months ago.
He's such a wonderful musician! I didn't believe I was able to work with him!
He's very easy to work with, friendly, responsible and listened to my opinion on the changes!
Definitely recommend him for anyone who wants their music done!

I'm actually done with chapter 6 too, but I' will be updating it along with the 2nd adv textbox screenshoot. I'm actually done with it but I have a slight programming question about it.
I'll get it fixed before revealing it ^^;

That's all for this time, I'll be back during the next update!

Goodness Bunbun ~ This is really becoming more awesome ! xDD
I'm watching it till now XD and Am very excited about it !
Just remembered the very first post is not considered as pure otome and now it's all otome, Oh gosh, ALL I SEE EVERYWHERE IS OTOME, Otome ! Gave me such sweet heartattack <3


Go Go gO ! =D Always supporting you *w*

[Blane Doyle]

That theme is amazingly relaxing. It's got a nice music box tone before the music starts to play full on that I enjoy. I think I am going to enjoy the rest of the music if it sounds anything like that. 83

I look forward to seeing more progress on this and wish you luck getting everything worked out!

[WickedRaccoon]

Just dropping by to say that the new sketch of Shin is awesomeee! Now I really want to go after him
That music theme iso calming,I listened to it over and over again!
Will be awaiting till the next update

[Pyun~]

Can't wait!：Ｄ

[bunbun]

@CuppieKeyk : Aww thank you! I won't say it's a full otome still as it is lack of romance ^^;

@Blane Doyle : I'm glad you like the music! Ziassan did a really good job with it.
As much as I like the music to be great, I don't have the funds to do so. Unfortunately other in game music will be free resources unless I get enough funds to commission musicians!

@WickedRaccoon : Thanks for liking Shin! Also I'm happy that you like the music too!

@Pyun~ : Will try my best!

--------------------------
Overall update :

I've been updating on the tumblr and completely neglected this forum post ugh
I don't think I have much to update nor I can receive any criticism yet with the lack of demo or even sprite.
Anyway for the story, I'm done up to Chapter 7 (except Sheol's path) and I'm working on Chapter 8 Taga's path.
Total word count up to Chapter 7 is 142K
There will be an estimate of around 12 Chapters.

More sketches
Sheol's (town)casual outfit


Some dude who I wanted to make him an obtainable but dropped it.
He will appear as side character in game.

[Mimi_Melody]

Oh....that's too bad, 'cuz the "dude" looks kinda cool~
But I'm still looking forward to the game! The other guys along with the story and art are wonderful! I really admire you. Such a talented artist and writer. (12 chapters, YAY!)
