DEV NOTES 2020.30.09
Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all!

It has been a wild month, but the game has been released!

[Kokoro Hane]

As of today, I finished writing the second ending to the game! The final script has now been sent out to VAs!

The game itself has no choice points. The endings are obtained by whether or not you can solve the puzzle! If you figure it out, you get the first ending. But if you fail, you get the second ending. Personally... I hope you get the second ending first lol. You can try your hardest to solve the puzzle to get the first ending, or if you're a masochist, feel free to purposely fail and see what the second ending entails. Your choice~

Overall, El.Seth and I are super proud of both endings and the entire story in general. We really hope you'll enjoy it too!

Raf's voice actor is the first to finish recording all his lines!

[Kokoro Hane]

Final CG count is 7!

We launched our Itch WiP page, so we'll occasionally post devlogs there too;

The final wordcount is 9,896 words

[Kokoro Hane]

As of today, El.Seth has completed scripting in images and sound! This means the game is done, by voiceless standard. The project has now been forwarded to me for voice placement and extras gallery!


Speaking of the extras, here's a look at the design for the CG Gallery!

I began line cutting yesterday and updated in the main post all of our current progress! Basically only me and Ed's VA have any recording left to do, for endings only., which should be ready soon. Looking forward to showing this to you all!

[Kokoro Hane]

All lines have been RECEIVED!

Today I begin lots of cutting and leveling and applying.

Also, we got a couple special promotional materials coming soon~

Made a dev log with current progress report!

[Kokoro Hane]

Just finished applying Ed and Raf's main lines to the script! Now all that is left for me to do is finishing cutting the rest of my lines, the ending lines, and then apply! (I also need to finish the extras gallery but that shouldn't take too long since I'm only worrying about the CG Gallery and Music Room, I'll add the Sketchbook for bonus art if there's time).

[Kokoro Hane]

As I am finally finished cutting my main batch, after application, I'll be testing the game today to see how everything looks and sounds. At this point, I may adjust sprite facials to better match the recorded lines and see if any post-leveling is needed to be done.

Tomorrow is dedicated to endings! Both cutting and applying.

Wednesday is the planned release date! Around 2 or 3PM PST I plan be posting the game online!

[Kokoro Hane]

I'm done cutting all of the bad ending, and then Ed and Raf's lines for the good ending (just my batch left to go there). Once I am done cutting, I'll quickly apply and playtest.

There is a possibility I will not be able to get the extras done in time. Imma try to at least have the CG gallery in, but what's important is we have the game itself!

I am pleased to announce the game has been RELEASED! Check the first post for link to the release thread~
