Hello everyone! Here’s a small update for this week.Sneak peek here: (WIP, sketch and line art animation frame for SAKURA)
I’ve continued working on the goal of finishing 6 animation line arts before the end of the month. So far, things are going smoothly and I’m not running into major issues. At the moment, I’ve already completed the line art for (almost) 4 animations, with 2 more remaining, which I believe I’ll be able to finish comfortably on time.
We’re also implementing a new way to view the gallery, which will help players understand how much content is currently available in the game. We believe that, for various reasons, many players end up missing a large portion of the game’s content, either because they don’t know the exact number of missions each character has or they’re unsure how to unlock certain events. This will be addressed in the next update.
As mentioned before, this update will place a strong focus on the visual novel style, which will allow me to concentrate on finishing all the animations on schedule, while also giving us the opportunity to try something different. This doesn’t mean the update will be completely free of event illustrations — there will still be some — but fewer than before, since a significant portion of development time is now being dedicated to the animations.
Finally, next week there won’t be an NSFW sneak peek. I’ll be showing you more about this new feature idea, along with a brief explanation of our concerns regarding players unintentionally skipping a lot of content, and how this change could help solve that issue.
Without much else to add, I hope you all have an excellent week!
