Unfortunately, I don't have time to play anything right now, so I'll just be patiently awaiting your updates. n__n

I think your concept is unique (I've often wondered about the things I draw and what they'd think of me if they could...), and I think your characters have cute personalities. ^__^
For your first VN, I think this is nice stuff. =)
Thank you. (: I'm hoping to finish sometime in summer.

Just posting to show I didn't abandon this game!

I decided to take a break from it for a while to focus on school. I probably will be working on this pretty slowly until summer.

The word count dropped because I removed a section I didn't think worked.

The art is very interesting and cool. I really like it.
But people on the last screen in the background is very ... weird... (is it a people at all? They're just like pawns :D )
Also background on last screen is a bit different from other backgrounds... It's way too much blured, I think.

Love the bookshelf in the firtst screen that filled up with BOOKS :D

It'd take too long to draw out all the people in the background. lol
I'm doing everything myself so I have to cut some corners.

I try not to make backgrounds too blurry but it happens when I zoom up on things sometimes.
I'm drawing on low pixels to make straight lines more easily, so that's why.

Thank you! I plan to have books show up a few times in the game. I already finished a scene where you get to read one. c:

I'm on a roll! 50% completion has been met.

I probably won't work on this for a while though.
Working on it too much at a time kinda burns me out.

Whoo hoo! I got a lot of story written up. If you're wondering why the word count jump is so big it's cause I added on a lot to the later days.

I've decided to add in a third heavily plot based day. This will make the game more streamlined instead of random. So, the days with heavy plot development will now be the first day, the day at the midpoint of the game, and the final day. It is still a slice of life game and not especially serious.

I really like the idea of this game, and congrats on 60 % completion! It looks like you've managed to stay motivated, huh?! I'll have to try out the demo as soon as I can!
