Hello,

I worked on the GUI for the game so I thought I'd show some images of what I did =)

Congrats on the demo release! It's definitely cool to see a detective VN in the works.

The character art is great. However, there seems to be a consistency issue that you might want to think about while you're still early in production (if you're not already addressing it). I.e. the little sister is done in a very different art style from Josh and "the girl." The final sprite for the little sister is awesome - great style!!

Good luck with the kickstarter! I'll be looking forward to more updates.

A Bump: This project isn't dead, I'm just quiet. We're currently going through casting for the last voice acting roles, the script is ~80% complete and ~30% edited, CG and BG art are both above 50% complete.

I just opened the file to see how things looked, and I got an error? I was able to continue by hitting "ignore" but that might be something you want to check out.

Huh. That doesn't happen on my machine. I'll give it a look-over.
Cheers for that.

Edit: Found it. That's the code that makes the menu change depending on persistent endings. I removed persistent.endings for the demo as it wasn't necessary. Nice catch.

As for everything else: Character and CG art is 100% complete, the script is ~95% complete, BG art is ~80% complete, voice acting and composition are underway.
