🏈 Dev Update + DISCORD – Minigame, CGs & More! 🎨🎶

Hey everyone!! 👋💖

First of all, thank you so much for your patience and all the lovely support messages you’ve sent me! 🙏✨. They keep me super motivated and excited to keep building this VN for you! 💪🔥

🎮 Minigame Progress

I’ve been hard at work on the minigame, and here’s where we’re at:

• ✅ 8 of 15 CGs are finished!

• ✅ 3 of 20 Mason interactions are already programmed into the game!

And to give you a sneak peek 👀, I’m sharing two short animation previews where you can see the CGs come to life. Just like the sprites, the characters blink, change expressions, and move their mouths while talking 🗣️.

💭 I’d love to hear your thoughts: for the next minigame update, would you be okay if some CGs are included as WIPs (a bit sketchier, not fully polished) in order to deliver updates faster ⏱️✨?

This way I can keep progress moving without long delays. To give you an idea, I’ve included one finished CG and one unfinished CG as an example.

🖌️ Other Progress Updates

Besides the minigame, I’ve also been working on new content for upcoming scenes:
👕 Mason sprites with different outfits (examples below!).
🚿 A new background for the showers.
🍽️ A sketch WIP of the school cafeteria background.

🎶 Music & Sound

I’ve been updating the audio side too:

• 🎵 A new track inspired by Mario Party will play on the minigame instruction screen! (see attatchments)

• 🔊 The GUI sounds are being replaced with original ones.

• 🎼 And yes… more new songs are in production! I’ll keep you posted as they’re ready.

💬 Community & Discord

Don’t forget! We now have a Discord server where I share regular previews, chat about characters, and run polls 🗳️. Patreon should auto-link you if your Discord is connected, but if not, just DM me and I’ll send you an invite. I don’t want anyone to miss out on the extra goodies!

👉 Plus, I’ve started doing Patreon exclusive streams where I work on the VN and commissions live, come hang out! 🎨🎥

Thank you again for being here and supporting the project 💕. Your feedback really helps shape everything, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the CG WIP question! 🙌

See you soon with more previews!! 🚀💖
