Ha, I totally know what you mean by having too many games to play. I barely have enough time to finish anything nowadays, especially trying to balance looking for a job, doing bgs for Aquae, playing my console games, etc. Thanks for your words of encouragement though :D. It's always nice to hear feedback or constructive criticism, whichever the case may be.

I understand your disappointment completely...
Also, it's exactly as Aashtarsrain said. Not to mention that NaNoRenO having been completed only a few weeks before hand...
Well, you can imagine there's much to look at.

To make such a long game must take a great amount of effort on your parts, though...
(And don't worry about your art style, it's really lovely)

Well the good news is that I have all the rough drafts of the character sprites for Arc 1 done, as well as all the event CG rough drafts.

we currently have 3 event CGs in the first arc.

3 members of the team are meeting tomorrow to work more on the game (Rika, myself, and Ryoko Hiwatari), so more progress will be done.

And once Rez gets the rest of the 3D bgs done we'll have all the needed background CGs for Arc 1 and some of Arc II.

The team will officially be releasing the game in Arcs, with a giant 3 arc package coming at the end when the game is finished. The 3 arc package will include extras including music and CG galleries.

Right now the team is working on Artwork and transferring the script onto the newest version of renpy, since we are still using an early version and I want to use image mapping and other things.

The first post is also in the progress of getting fixed up :3

Edit: Frain's profile has been spiffied up

Nice~
There are 3 CGs for the first story arc?
The CG you are working on looks beautiful.
Everything is so well thought out.
I like how you made a logo too. ^^

I lied...there's four event CGs. XD And that's not including the main menu CG that I'm working on.

backgrounds are now 100 percent complete for ARC I. I still need to work on sprites and event CGs, as well as re-coding the options and save menu. Tweaking needs to be done on the game as well ;x A new textbox is being created to fit the theme of Aquae.

Let's not forget one other important thing....I still need to gather the rest of the soundtrack for Aquae. I've been gathering a few pieces here and there, so I can't wait until we get down to scripting it.

I can't wait to get my hands on this one. The graphics look good and polished. It's also interesting to see two different games with mermaids being developed simultaneously and independently.

So you guys have the artwork finished before the scripting if I understand correctly? It's nice to see I'm not the only one working this way.

Good luck guys, I hope this project is going the way you want it to.

Well you could say that XD...I'm the only one behind on the artwork though. Thanks for the compliments XD Although not sure if our game will be as quite as epic or as hyped up as Mermaid Liaisons. We'll have to see :p

@Rezz: :x You are indeed the jack of all trades.

The art is so beautiful in this game. This is something I'm really looking forward to play (while I wait to make my own game, since my scanner isn't working/have no tablet to draw on)

:D The logo is really cool too.
