PROGRESS UPDATE – JUNE
Added 2025-06-30 16:48:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Here I have the first progress update of v0.5!
Kana scene
As you may have seen in the sneak peek, the sprite was already drawn, but finishing and polishing all the expressions took me much longer, especially the taking animations. Luckily, I'm done with it now. There are only some body variations left to add, but the sprite already works and in-game.
The backgrounds were already partially prepared from the work I left done in previous updates. I just need to model one more location and the animation bg will be ready.
As for the script, I've already completed the draft of the whole Kana scene, although I always end up expanding it when I start editing and coding it in-game. For now, the assets listed should be enough, and I hope I don't have to add more, the endings demand enough assets already.
The sketch I shared before (sneak peek) for the animation doesn't quite satisfy me; I don't know why, but I think I can do something even better. Still, don't worry. This will be a scene you'll definitely enjoy... Here's a preview of one of the CGs I've been working on.
Endings
The endings(outcomes) get their own section because I still haven’t decided how hard I want to go with them. To me, they’re the crown jewel of everything I’ve been working on, and they wrap the story at a very solid point. Think of them as a season finale.
Of course, it’ll leave everyone wanting more, but after that ending, it will be a good time to revisit earlier parts and polish sections that now feel outdated compared to the current quality. If I do manage to complete the endings with all the assets I want, I could technically end AL up in v0.5 (but don’t worry, I won’t). I’ve been wanting to show this side of the story for a while, but I want to get the main course ready before I start drawing all the possible endings.
That's all for now. Soon I will show you the finished version of the image above... so you can see how baaaadly Kana is going to struggle in this update.
