Development Team Updates

We are still recruiting writers, although currently we're only accepting writers who are able to code their own scripts into RenPy!

You can find our recruitment post here!

Game Progress Updates

• Completed some small updates, such as:
  • Added indicator on how many % of the scripted in dialogues has been read by the player on the front page.
  • Updated text box UI so there are 3 types of boxes depending on the dialog and who's speaking.
    
  • Updated Quick Menu UI to make them more visible across all the different backgrounds.
• Updated phone function to enable the characters to send images + updated UI to make it even more similar to the game! I spent far too long on this... ^^'
  

• Choices menu UI revamped! I personally like the look of this one better since it looks similar to the main game, plus it fits nicely with the phone UI, as you can see on the previous video! What do you think?

• Conversation cut in function! We will have to build more on it as we script in more scenes, but the base code is working quite well. Now all we have to do is.... uh... revisit the scenes... to incorporate them in the script... oh boy ;')

• Status menu UI updated! Added the affection points for better clarity and a scroller in case the character description gets too long.

• Worked on Gallery page a bit, but again, this was a bust - I think we'll have to consider different design considering we probably want to have a CG section here too. I'll continue working on it.
  
• Words scripted in so far: around 46k+ words. These are across all routes, and there are still quite a few scenes written but not scripted in. I feel like if all of the routes are finished and they're around the same length with what we have, we can hit 100k+ in total? Who knows haha
