Thank you so much everyone!!! It really means a lot to me ;o; I've been a bit stressed out with the background since I only meant to quickly paint them and then... this happened somehow. Only 2 more to go though, slowly getting there.
Rins also finished Hajime's sprite!

After a little while of having nothing good come out of my DAW, I did some more music for this game and I'm so close to done it's not even funny.
This is the tension theme (AKA "I rip off Ligeti").

@Cith, Thank you
I took a bit of a break from actually doing the backgrounds to start lighting them. I'm not allowed to touch them anymore

Your work is amazing, Auro

The backgrounds, the UI, the character lineart... it's all just so attractive and meticulous! And you work really fast too. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product =)

I'm so impressed by this game! I actually just registered on this site so I can gush about it

The backgrounds are so gorgeous: the colours are so beautiful and I am especially stuck by the details in the candy shop

It fits the overall theme of the game so well! The character design is very appealing and also fits the time set. And what we heard of the music sounded really polished and professional too

And the GUI
I might be getting a little too excited here. No pressure guys

Are you really going to finish by April 1st? That would be really impressive! Is the game on the short side or are you guys just that efficient?
Anyway, I think I should finish this huge block of text right about now and go back to stalking the thread obsessively

@DarkSin & Killdream, Thank you! I hope the project lives up to your expectations!
@kstorms, oh my gosh, thank you! I take it as a great compliment that you took the time to sign up to comment ^_^ and we should be finished! I've completed 4 Nanoreno projects before so this one will be failing over my dead body XD The game will of course be shortish given it's written in a month, but with 3 paths and a number of endings it should have a fair bit of content! Lore would have to give you a more accurate word length projection.
Only a WiP of a background tonight, I can’t really afford to stay up until 5 on a work day -.- I wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning, it’s already bad enough at 2. This is as far as I’m getting tonight!

Oooh all of the graphics are all shiny, I used to pay attention to small details added to VNs BG, like the lighting and stuff they put in the backgrounds and yours is really neat. The sprites are lovely, love the clean solid style and they blends in well with those backgrounds too. Story concept and everything looks promising, I'll be stalking this one for sure! Good luck for all of you and don't force yourself too hard.

@Yuuki, Thank you
Finally finished! I need to mull on the colours and lighting (and fix some of the shadows) so I will try and export tomorrow night! I've got one more to do and /hopefully/ it will be more simple.

Thank you so much guys! Oh my gosh, I hope you all like the game when it's done!
It’s 4am and I have work tomorro… ah, later today. Someone please shoot me.
The good news is that this is the last background! I just have to do some edits and some light variations and I will be able to move on to CGs!

Your backgrounds are so pretty and detailed. I'm so jealous of that skill. I hope I'm able to come close to do something that awesome one day.
