"You play as Hideo Toyoku, a 17 year old male who attends Chinrai High School. Since his days as a first-year, Hideo has been a “player” with women. Though, one fatal day as a second year, when a girl rejected his sly proposal of dating in front of everyone at the gymnasium, he has lost his vibe, and slowly grew to have trouble even talking to women, let alone greeting to them. Your friends Tomi Misora and Akaka Okuma agree to help you out with re-building your ways of talking to women, and getting a girlfriend. You will play and guide Hideo’s life for 5 months until his next semester. Can you help get him the girl of his dreams? Will you lead him to a committed life, or a life of seeing different women at once? The decisions are all up to you." Here's some quick tidbits of info:
-The awesome backgrounds are from the generous Uncle Mugen's FREE Resources!
-There are a total of 4 girls Hideo can pursue, each leading to many different endings (depending on what you choose, there will probably be a good amount of endings possible!)
-The game is still in development, with little done compared to the goals of the project.
-The game will be free. UPDATE: There will be a $10 version you can buy that helps support me and others working on the game, and also gives you some more extras and guaranteed free downloads of future DLC mini episodes.

Let's get on with the update, shall we?...
So, I stopped development for this VN back in February. During that time I was still very much a noob with bad graphic editing skills, etc. I also had my story all over the place, and my sprites weren't perfect. So, I now decided to pick up the project again, starting with re-doing the sprites. They will have the same design and all, they'll just be bigger images. Among that, I'm going to make their "neutral" or default stance for each of their outfits have a breathing animation. That's going to take up about the first month and a half of work. In the midst of that, I'm making a few changes here and there to the programmer, and collecting more great backgrounds and music.
I'll keep posted on the tumblr blog and Indiedb page with dev diaries and videos. Feel free to ask any questions or pitch any help you can! Thanks!
