Important- PLEASE READ

Before anything else, I would like to remind and inform everyone that feeding any part of my work (art, design, writing, concept, etc.) to AI is PROHIBITED. Please don't do that 😭

I can turn a blind eye to AI character chatbots (I would prefer if you don't, but I wouldn't stop you if you do), but DO NOT feed the VA's voice files  to AI. 

If you would like to make fan art, please DO NOT feed my art to AI. 

DO NOT use AI.

For more information, please see the derivative works guidelines.

Progress Update 

Now that that's settled- here's some progress update.

I've made some decent progress with the writing, although not as much as I have hoped; but still, progress is still progress! 

Unfortunately, I can't really talk much about it since it's within spoiler-territory... but what I can say is- I was struggling with writing some plot exposition, so I went- "oh, what the heck, I'll make it the player's problem"... um yeah. Which means there'll be section/s where you'll have to solve the exposition yourself😋.

That said, if I continue at this pace, I should be able to finally complete the base common route (not including the bad endings), and finally start with the romance routes by next update... or well... I've actually started on their openings, so it's more like officially(?) begin with the romance routes? I'm really looking forward to getting there🥰

I also ended up finishing a BG that I wasn't supposed to draw just yet since I had a placeholder for it anyway... but I got some nice assets from CSP and wanted to try them out... and this just happened. Yeah.

Whatever could happen here...?

Those who have played the early beta should know~

Game Tutorial

I've already mentioned this in a previous devlog, but I've received some bug reports on disappearing quick menu options...
-It's not a bug😭

When you close the quick menu, you can re-open it by HOVERING on the purple rose image at the corner.

The actual game will have an optional tutorial for this, although you can also open the HELP menu for instructions.

Furthermore, there will be sections in the game where saving will be disabled (ex: when you're in another character's POV), they should just be fairly short scenes though, so don't worry.

There are also some short sections where skipping is disabled; they should only be a few lines. 

If you experience any more issues, feel free to post it in the comment section, but do try to check other comments first if it has already been brought up!

Artist Corner (Happy Bday Edel?!)

"Is my birth truly something to be 'happy' about?
...Hahaha! What's with that face? I am only joking~☆"

April is the month of Edel's birthday... which also happens to fall on April Fool's Day!

And so, our special feature/bday/April Fool's Day art was brought to you by Kaixinn from VGen!

Furthermore... if you've noticed, we have a new banner!

This lovely art was drawn by @kasutera_nyan!
