--PROGRESS CHAPTER 4-- (W4 July '19)

Story 100/100
Scripting 50/100 (1200 lines of estimate 2000 lines. It's past half but I feel still a lot to do)
GUI design 70/100 (I consider it's done before, but I'd like to improve text box and main menu as well)
Sprites 20/100 (There are 3 minor characters added. On the bright side I have actually drafted them....still sketch though. But it's a progress)
CG 75/100 (2 done. Maybe I'll add 1 more)

.
.
.
I have consulted to the original author and we agree to push the release date into somewhere in August because July is near impossible at current state.

[tiya_nofurita]

Updated textbox. Not much, but still an update :p




On the bright side we finally agree to put this VN on STEAM once Phase 1 has been completed
The release date is Q4 2019, somewhere around November or December
Please consider donate us some cash on itch.io when downloading (I also thought of making Patreon or some kind...will be updated later) even 1 USD is appreciated, because Steam Direct fee (100 USD) is equal to half of my monthly income

[tiya_nofurita]

Updated fundraising platform


Please help us to make it on Steam!

Regardless of the result we are still planning to make it by any means though but we appreciate any donation!

Frankly chapter 4 is pretty much done. I just need to beta-test myself before launching into store. Expect to be released this week, finally

[tiya_nofurita]

Hello folks! It's been a long time since I posted here related to the development :'DD
A lot has happened in real life, I have to stop the development after Chapter 4 (yeah Chapter 4 has been released! Here is the link!) for about 2 months. I'm planning to release Chapter 5 in the next month and hopefully can release the final product on Q1 2020 as the scheduled timeline! Wish me luck!

In the meantime, although the page in Steam is pretty much a demo (and I haven't done anything to engage audience orz) I'm glad a few people posted about their playthrough! Here's the video! Once again thanks for the support and review!







I'll post the development on weekly/bi-weekly basis like usual.

[tiya_nofurita]

November already here ><
I've been hiatus for 2 months ;__; I'll try my best to get on track

--PROGRESS CHAPTER 5-- (W2 November '19)

Story 100/100
Scripting 5/100 (100 lines of estimate 2000 lines ;__;)
GUI design 100/100 (I consider it done for now)
Sprites 100/100 (I don't think I'll draw anything for this chapter)
CG 30/100 (2 left)

.
.
I want to release Chapter 5, hopefully in end November.
Then start making Chapter 6 in Dec/Jan, polishing for the final product, making teaser for Phase 2, and finally release on Feb 2020 ^^

I'm pretty honored that someone uploaded their playlist into Youtube!

Here's another exposure from someone on Youtube! Really appreciate it.

I AM NOT DEAD YET!

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if you're still catch up on this, but I 'm here again! After a long hiatus :p how long it was? Oh-uh, almost 9 months. Yeah, right.
As I have so little free time now, it can't be helped >_< but I'm still stand on my initial commitment to finish this no matter how slowly it'd be. As per now I changed the target of release to somewhere on Q4 2020 (hopefully October/November).

Things I need to do (based on what I remember after a long break anyway):
1. Finishing Chapter 5 and 6 (by this I should gathering assets and drawing whenever necessary, aside from scripting)
2. Looking for better proofreader to review chapter 1-6 once again (yes the previous release is deemed grammatically incorrect a lot of times)
3. Overhaul main menu and fixing overall system for convenient (especially on Android version)
4. Making promotional content for Phase 2
5. Incorporating Japanese and Russian translation, if possible (yeah I got volunteer translator but dunno when they'd be finished. After all I can't force them to fit on my deadline, since this is free project :p)

[tiya_nofurita]

Updated key visual for Phase 2!

[tiya_nofurita]

Bad news! Since the Russian translator suddenly quit, there will be no Russian translation
But I still plan to at least include chapter 1 translation that has been finished.

I plan to release chapter 5 in Android along with several improvement on GUIs and updated RAPT (which support API level 29)
