I love the characters, colors and the overall look and feel of the concept!
Can't wait for the next update!

[Hazel-Bun]

Evey time I see this thread it puts a smile on my face <3 Good luck and I can't wait for more updates once y'all are back!!

[potouto]

I'm not very active ah let's blame this on P3P and Fire Emblem: Awakening.
And life. Mostly P3P. I still can't get over the fact P4 doesn't have a female protagonist.
Anyway, up with the new update. Only fifteen days left until the release of the demo. We are still working on the game :3 Some changes has been added to the game. Instead of routes, we will now have the game focused on one route, still separating into four endings. May be crack endings later if time allow.
I'm starting to write for another project now along with Pluvial. Whichever come out first will guarentee to spoil the other. As for weekly's update, I personally think it's hard to keep up every week if there's time that everyone are busy for the whole week.
Story wise, things are a bit rusty nowadays. I have been stuck with the new story's modifications and I'm a bit lost with where to start. Since I'm still busy with studying and tests, I will try to sit down and write the outline when I have time.
For the art, our artist are finalizing the expressions. We haven't worked on other aspect of art much. Hopefully, some of the GUI will be done. It have been a while. I'm itching to touch it myself but our GUI artist said he can handle it so we will be waiting.
And there is music, our composer has been working with the audio. He has life issues but he's doing great with the editing as well. Expecting the script to be edited by the weekend. Hopefully the music will be coming out soon.
As always, the game is not coded yet, still waiting for all asset to be finished.
That's it for this time update. Not much progress I suppose. I will try to keep everything updated.

Thanks a lot for your supports! We will be working hard!!

My favorite part;
"Canadian????"
ha ha~ gg lol
Cute looking project .w. nice~

[potouto]

@FrostkingDemetri: aha, thank you. It'll be full of fluff and cuteness ye

Andddd I'm the one who will take up the spot of the GUI designer, I might not be as experienced but at least I know what to do?? I think?? So here's the sneakpeak of the game's new interface!! Not the final design since woops so many mistakes ahaha ;_;

[Haze]

Been watching this project for a while, and I'm looking forward to it! Just want to say the GUI looks nice, though the logo not being centered is kind of bothering me. It's a small nitpick, I know, I know. XD

As for the choice menu, is the only thing that changes when a choice is hovered the little umbrella appearing? If so, you may want to considering having the hovered choice slightly change color or something, just to make it more apparent that it's hovered. And is that a Cafe Memoria BG I see in the screenshot? Is that free to use...? EDIT: Just looked into it and found it that it is free to use. Learned something new today!

Also, here's something I've been wanting to ask for a while: is the bird a cockatiel?

[potouto]

Ohh yeah, I pointed out that the GUI isn't in its final state yet, I noticed the logo not being centered too so I will fix it soon. But thanks for pointing that out~!

I did think about that during the process of creating the design, still I haven't thought of how to make an alternative for the hovered choice yet. Oh yeah, the Cafe Memoria BG is just a placeholder but yes, it's free-to-use as said on Uncle Mugen's thread.

Of course not, Birb is a kind of royalty came from the other side of universe -- nah, none of us have any idea of what kind of bird it is actually. This bird is not all right, may be it's not a bird at all.

[noeinan]

I like the GUI. It's colorful and has a consistent theme. The main menu looks a little flat, maybe try adding a texture or shadows? Other than that looks great tho.

[potouto]

I tried this way ahaha ';_;'

daikiraikimi: Yeah, I'm trying to figure how to make it better but it have been a big failure so far wahh
But thank you though :3 <3 I will try to make it look better

[Demetis]

Aaaah I really like the new menu's theme! The colors are cute as hell <3
As for the main title, I kinda liked the first try more though >w< Maybe moving the logo up a little and adding character screenshots into the picture frames? Just my opinion though XD Cause the second design is a bit too common for me XD And somehow less cute //slapped out of window
The ingame interface is super cute! For me the huge umbrella on the speechbox might be a little bit distracting but I guess it's alright ovo Really like how you used the icons <3
Keep up the good work! -sits and cheers- 8D

[Haze]

Yes, the new main menu looks a lot better. Seriously, great job; you really improved it!

Awww...it's too bad the bird(or Birb, as you called it) isn't a cockatiel...ah well. Royalty from the other side of the universe, huh? Sounds interesting.

Guess whose bday it is today
TECHNICALLY it's still his bday here.
