Notes

3/1: So you know how I said last year's nano would be my last? That'll be this one instead since Amiralo asked to make one more with me this year. I'll probably stick to my usual weekly updates.
3/8: Sprites are halfway done, story's rough draft is basically done, and got a surprise member, Larry Jones. Also added 17+ tag due to a certain character making insinuations.
3/14: Story's pretty much done, if you blush easily then hoo boy. More art is getting complete, and adoring the music done so far. Will potentially change the tags later.
3/25: Members have been busy, but should be more free now. We'll be pushing ourselves to try to finish on time!

Thank you for taking the time to read, and good luck to everyone!

Will this be a heart-wrenching story?! Saying good bye to a long-time friend right before your honey moon sounds like a bit of heart ache ; ㅡ;
Can't wait to play though! I'll have my tissue box ready~!

Edit: Just noticed the Horror tag. Now I'm especially piqued!

I never did quite say they said goodbye BEFORE their honeymoon, now did I? =3

And seeing that I'm here, I might as well show a little progress that we've made.

Here's Melanie's wip sprite!

The description and the "horror" tag intrigue a lot.
Melanie's braid looks nice)
Good luck with finishing the visual novel in time!

We shall all do our utmost to complete it~

It is now time for the weekly update.

The script's rough draft is complete and is going through edits.

Melanie's sprite is complete and Asher's is halfway done.

We've got rough drafts for the gui in place.

And a surprise, to even me, we have a new member joining us!

(Does anyone else find it a bit humorous there are three snow/winter themed nanos this year?)

Anyway here have Asher's wip~

[Sunlit-Dreamer]

Tis the 14th, about halfway through the month.

Script's pretty much done, going to leave progress at 95% JUST in case I need to make edits.

Asher's sprites are fully done, the bg outlines have been completed, and work on the cgs have started.

Music has also been started.

Debating whether I should change the tags a bit, since it's more of a Psychological Horror.

Anyway, here's a preview of the first cg~

[Sunlit-Dreamer]

A few days past the 21st, but offline priorities first!

Everyone's a bit more free now, so we should be able to make it!

Almost all of the cgs are done, only one left to color.

Bgs are getting colored, and more progress on the UI.

Here's the final sneak peek~

[Sunlit-Dreamer]

Code is ready. Simply waiting for the last of the assets. Will upload a preview build though if it's not ready before midnight.
