devlog #01: small patch notes 𐙚


hi everyone! the support these past three days has been insane. i just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who played/left reviews, commented, recorded playthroughs, or donated in the past few days. i genuinely didn’t expect this much support especially for my first vn, and it’s been so encouraging !

i  uploaded a small patch that fixes a few grammatical errors and adds an endings/achievements screen to the main menu! it only covers the current available endings (not the placeholder motel/captivity ones yet), but hopefully it helps anyone trying to track them down. i had some issues with updating the patch (butler... my worst enemy...). hopefully the process will go down a lot smoother by the final update

also, thank you SO much to everyone who donated, every penny helps especially as a solo dev ;; i want to keep the game free since i’d rather focus on creating games people can enjoy and connect with, even if they can’t afford to support it financially. but i’m still incredibly grateful for anything that comes my way... i'm planning to put most of whatever i make towards my education, however i do want to set a lot of it aside for voice actors/composers so i can have official soundtracks/etc for my future projects

i’m planning to start working on the motel route tomorrow (pray for me), and i’ll be posting mini devlogs every other week w/ my progress !! alrighttt mari out

I love progress updates! For a bored person with no life, they feed me.

And the fact that you're getting right into working on a new route, makes me happy, but remember to take breaks! Also, drink lots of water in this heat to stay hydrated.

Fun fact: the first thing that I thought when I saw the cg of llya was that his face that close looked really cute with the clarity and definition of his freckles being so clear. I think I might have a problem...HELP! Joking~

LMAO ur so real for that, i’m glad the updates are feeding you well <3 and thank u sm for the sweet reminder!! i’m diving into the new route now but i promise that i'll take breaks hehe
