Lemma Soft Forums

this story runs parallel along Holiday♥Lovers, as in, it's in the same time, they experience the same outcomes and events, etc

You know when we said that this game would only be 10k or more words long? Well... we deeply underexaggerated how much more it would be. Right now, we're at around 28k and are looking at surpassing 30k by the time the entire common route is done for the demo. Ashe and I are to blame for this sudden growth in word count, but hey, that just means the story must be great, right? ^^

As for GUI, Sas has been an angel the entire time. She's finished the Main Menu screen and we get our very own, personalized name screen! *squeals*



King-sama has done yet another gorgeous and wonderful BG! It's a reindeer stable, guys, and it's marvelous to look at, if I do say so myself


In other, new news: Sas has also taken the position of Chibi Artist because she's truly something that was sent from the Heavens. Look at the wittle cyutie that is Vixen Wixen (idk why I started typing in baby talk):


Some other sketches of a chibi CG scene here (sorry for low qual and unclear-ness):



And, last but not least! Some sneak preview CG sketches by the lovely Zino



That's all for today, folks! Again, we appreciate the support and constant encouragement from everyone. We can't say thank you enough

---UPDATES---

First and foremost, we're at the end of the common route, still working away at the branches and are over 30k words already BUT we've decided to only release Chapters 1 and 2 to submit to NaNo. That's only because the backgrounds needed for the rest of the story haven't been finished yet, and they won't be finished before March ends. But, as soon as they are, we'll release the rest of the chapters in the common route.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, on to art stuffs!

Zino needs to be given a reward because she managed to finish four CG sketches in 6 hours; she's a trooper, *round of applause* Quick preview:






Sas made us a wonderful new logo to go with the GUI aesthetics (not that the old logo had anything wrong with it)



She also finished the Save/Load menu



Annnd, unless I'm missing anything, I'm pretty sure that's it!

*just gonna drop some more GUI screens because Sas works hecka fast*

So, for the Gallery, we decided it would be cool if

(gallery screens 1 & 2 would all be categories for the different art you could see)



(gallery screen 3 would have all the thumbnails for the art, and when you click on them they will open up full screen. and then players can just click once to get out of it)


How cool is that? ok, going back to trying to be productive but physically and mentally can't *rick rolls out*

I realize this thread hasn't been updated in a WHILE, but that's only because we've pretty much been busy trying to gather all the assets needed for the demo - i.e. CGs, BGs, and voice clips. As you know, the demo will only include Chapters 1 and 2. It will not include voice acting YET, because we're still waiting on re-dos from some of the cast, but as soon as those are ready, we'll get that in. Jackie, the one who also bravely took on the role of programmer, has decided to leave out some of the settings/parts of the GUI for now only because she says it'll take her a few more days in order to sort through it and get everything ship-shape. Therefore, we're going to be leaving out some of the important screens. Hope you understand! We're going to tweak and fix everything after the deadline, though!

No art updates, haha, but the CGs for the common route are finished and they look phenomenal if I do say so myself Other than that, we're looking for a few beta testers to help make note of some issues/etc. on the demo before we finalize everything, so if you're interested in that, let me know!

Thanks guys, Godspeed to all of those participating in NaNo. I can't wait to see how all the projects turn out!

I'm looking forward to playing all of the other NaNo entries, everyone has done an amazing job!
