Early Access 0.1560.2: Devotion and Gullible Path Progress
Added 2021-11-29 20:57:23 +0000 UTCHi, cakes.
First, the good news! We now have a delightful second part of the CG for Hiroko in the Gullible story path, complimenting the first part introduced last time. You'll only see it if you're particularly mean to the poor girl, but regardless I think it'll be another reader's favourite. The new Robot storyline CG is in as well, accompanied by a slight script update to go along with it. I'm happy with how that one turned out too~
And now the bad news, at least as I see it. Because I'm sorry to say that, despite trying my hardest, I've failed to make much of an impression with the writing assignments I gave myself this month. First was the alternate Gullible story path that I struggled with earlier, which I've written a very hacky outline for here. Next I tried getting an alternate ending for Devotion down and that gave me just as much of a headache, to the point where I'm not sure writing it is really worth all this trouble after all ;_;
Well, it is what it is. It's certainly not for a lack of trying I can tell you that! So I'll see what else needs to be done and see if I can get into some sort of groove for next month. There's still so much to do...
Anyway, that's all for now, but I hope to see you all again in December for the final updates of the year!
UPDATE: New release 0.1560.2 corrects a couple of typos in the new script and adds Spanish language support.

Hm...you might be right that it'd be easier to cut the Girlfriend option on the Devotion path - it does feel like it's overcomplicating things. As for your work on the Gullible path, there might still be some potential here...if you're hinting that at least Nozomi is interested in participating in the hypnosis show, then maybe you could rope Risa in too (I know I keep harping on this, but I guess I really do want to see it :P). Actually...I don't know if this would work, but maybe this version of the Gullible path could be rewritten to involve Risa on the hypnosis end of things, sort of as a...support for Hiroko maybe? I'm not quite sure how that would work or whether it would fit with your overall plans, but it's something, at least. In any case, keep up the good work, and take as much time as you need to figure out where you want to go next with this!
