Oh noo that new sprite of Artie is too cute! That expression!!
Really digging the UI as well, and it pairs so nicely with the backgrounds and sprites.
Honestly this game's aesthetic is just so good... I'm so excited haha

Thank you!! It saddens me that the time she spends being cute is limited ( é A è ) || Artie why must you grow up like that

WE HAVE SAGUARO TO THANK FOR THAT....... it's true greatness. Basically the main menu and all the gui genius is the work of the magic cactus. I confess to liking to opening the game just to see the gui. I am mostly useless team member

IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE THE AESTHETICS THOUGH. Time spent on of all there is disillusioned me. I was very ready to make 15 unique sprites for one character for the first act. Good thing I don't have to, but it was very close. I'm glad things look okay even without the ridiculous amounts of pretty pictures!

Sadly I won't be making as much progress for a bit ^^;; I decided to take a bit of a break because I really need to get IRL stuffs in order (I was very close to accidentally failing courses through too much absences thanks to oversleeping >>) and basically yeAh I need to reprioritize. BUT IT WILL BE FINISHED. IDC HOW.
THANK SAGUARO FOR ALL THE GUI MAGIC. it's beautiful.

THANK YUOUU

If anyone wonders what happened to progress in this VN, I just want to say: am not dead, at least yet. All these lab reports are making me want to test the acidity of all the samples with my own mouth tho.

I'm planning on finishing this vn sometime in the middle of next month-- yeah, during Camp NaNoWriMo. Which I'll be joining. In any case, I'll be adding a library into the game-- not really a huge selection of books, but mostly old journals and newspaper clippings that you can search through for more question prompts. The reason why the library will feature a lot more than it ought to is still related to the fact that what matters is your observational skills-- certain clues are important, yes, but only in how it shapes your understanding of the situation. You should be able to not have to sift through everything if you do some extrapolations.

WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS THREAD SINCE I LAST CHECKED LMAO

(THE SPRITES AND BGS ARE VERY PRETTY AND DETAILED AND I'M VERY AMAZED. BUT PLEASE GET SOME SLEEP <3)

I'M SORRY.
