Early Access 0.1524.2 - Nozomi Reversal Path Update
Added 2020-07-20 19:56:18 +0000 UTCWelp, it's been a whole extra day's work that I wasn't expecting, but here it is!
This release brings a wealth of visual upgrades to various CGs as well as a couple of all-new ones, not to mention Risa's sprite getting brought up to par with the main girls. Her upgraded sprite's been put to good use in some newly-written scenes~
Speaking of, I did hit a block for Nozomi's Reversal story as I expected, so I decided to simply write up the outline I made in the previous update and think about what to do from there. I'm still not really sure how to proceed at this time, but ideas are starting to form, and I'm definitely in a better place with it than when I started work on it again a few weeks ago. I hope you enjoy what's written, because I think there's some fun stuff in there!
Anyway, working all through the weekend and today has really drained me so I'm gonna take a well-earned break before I think about what I'm gonna do for next time. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this release! I think it's one of the best ones I've put out in a while and I'm mostly pleased with it :)

Aww, thank you so much! It's been difficult, but I'm still having a blast with writing this thing and I'm thrilled so many people like it ^^ I have no intention of stopping for a long time yet~ While Reversal might have stalled again I do think there won't be such a gap between updates as before. I really want to see it through!

2020-08-23 18:06:10 +0000 UTCJust gotta let you know, your Nozomi's Reversal route is SO adorable, and good, and fun, and even flirtatious and pleasurable. You did such a nice job on it so far! It's both entertaining, and exciting (in all the ways, heh). I haven't dived too deep into many of the other routes yet (this was the one that most got me hooked on your really well done and high quality graphic novel. But route is wonderful so far. And overall, you really do make a nice clean high quality product in your game. It so much more polished than so many, and especially than so many in the hypno hobby realm Anyway, just *needed* to make sure you knew how good the work your doing is (as if you didn't already know, heh). Oh and while I never want to tilt the natural path of the creative process, a slight (entirely dignified) mild...on-knees-pleading request for more of the Reversal route (as you feel it and the blocks clear up). I literally can't get enough of how well they're bonding, and how much she's enjoying playing with him (whichever way one wants to use the word "with" :) ). Anyway, you're doing high quality work. And it's really uncommon and refreshing to see such being done, and done in such an organized and reliable process too. Really impressed (and not much impresses me all too often). Big huge kudos to you. And hope you get to keep growing the game forever and ever and ever (or until you stop enjoying it anymore, whichever comes first, heh).

2020-08-23 11:03:17 +0000 UTCI'm really happy you enjoyed it! That whole sequence is the reason I delayed the release, because there was no way I wanted to let it go until I'd written the whole thing. It was very entertaining to write ^^ As for Risa, I've thought for a while that she'd be in a relationship and her mentioning it here was an attempt to flesh out her character a bit more. It might come up again later~

2020-07-21 08:41:09 +0000 UTCOkay, that was straight up hilarious. I'm really loving this reversal route (even though I know it will likely get a bit heavier later on). Really looking forward to where you go with this next. Btw, the bit about Risa and her boyfriend was interesting? Is that a hint for future content?
