Plegder's Update
Added 2023-02-09 20:00:04 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Hope you're all doing well.
As you can see from the development log, you can already get an idea of a lot of the new changes I had to make with the story. I decided to make it fit into a better and smaller scope for the flow of the main story. Don't worry though, this just means the main game will be a bit smaller but will likely be completed in a more reasonable time. Along with that, I intend to continue working on the game after completion to add/finish characters personal stories and bonus side stories. So the grander vision of the story will be the same but will be developed midway or after the main story is completed. As i still wish to add as many characters as I can, because I originally envisioned the game to be focused on the main 3 girls along with a variety of different supporting characters.
I'm currently looking at finishing up a bit more of the writing to be in a comfortable place with the story and not worrying about making sure things flow consistently, as I tend to not remember everything I write down (completely normal of course). I plan on finishing chapter 3 and maybe parts of chapter 4, and will then focus on creating the assets for Chapter 1. So finishing all the CGs, the character art has to be spliced and animated and other missing characters will have to be completed.
So we're getting closer to a release, which is great! I feel a lot more confident with this story and rework in the story, as it feels a lot more how I originally envisioned it. Also been reading similar works and taking inspiration to advancing the story and each of the personalities of the characters! It's been a long ride and coming up to 8 months of actual development progress. If you have read the roadmap, I'd like to aim for the Summer for a full demo release, this includes all of Chapter 1, which may be around 1 - 3 hours of content, depending how fast people read. I think that is enough to get an idea if people like the content of the game, and I will hopefully get some valuable feedback from you guys and others who play the game.
Although, I will take any feedback, but I will try to make sure any changes are tasteful and appealing to the types of people (similar to me) who would like this kind of game, without disrupting the original pillars of the game's content. Similar to Nekopara, Monster Musume, and similar media which focuses on cute, lewd, and wholesomeness. I don't expect to make everyone happy here, I am just focusing on things I find appealing/know and the fun of writing an erotic rom-com and slice of life story. There may be things people want me to add / remove but I don't intend of adding anything that would damage the core elements of the game. I won't be able to write or draw things I dislike either, so I'd like to keep it that way. It's why we also have Q working on his own project for more specific content like that.
So hopefully this month's update made some sense to everyone. A lot of minor changes but definitely beneficial ones! Miz out!
