Sunday Devblog – July 27, 2025

Hey everyone!

This week I’ve been deep in Chapter 6 production, with lots of focus on both art and writing.

The Halloween scenes are close to completion, but there’s still some art left to wrap up. As usual, I couldn’t resist adding a few things I hadn’t originally planned... so the FMG art for the Halloween segment still isn’t fully done. That part usually takes a bit more time, and with 9 girls, it’s a lot to get through.

Plus I decided last minute each girl needs a full body shot when they first arrive so we can appreciate their full outfit. I found myself burning out a bit on doing all the variations, so I decided to take a short break to clear my head.

In the meantime, I went ahead and finished most of the exam scenes. For the exams, you’ll be able to earn a perfect score if your knowledge stat is 20 and you answer all the questions correctly. The questions are based on things discussed in classrooms throughout earlier chapters, so I hope you’ve been paying attention. If you ace the exams, you’ll unlock unique dialogue in several scenes that follow.

I also spent time working on art for the upcoming story scenes. As we move into fall, Yuka will be trying to bring Hino more into the inner circle (screenshot in the header of the post), partly due to certain developments involving the Oshima family. No spoilers here, but it’ll be a big shift.

And speaking of new characters, I’ve completed all the sprite variations for the elderly Queen test subject. Her name is Obayashi Fumiko. Oba just means grandma, so yes... real creative naming on my part haha.

All of Fumiko’s sprites are done, and I’m looking forward to introducing her properly when the time comes. There’s a lot to be excited about, but I’ll need to stay careful about what I show to avoid spoilers... both for story beats and FMG reveals.

Thanks again for following along and supporting the project. I’m excited to keep sharing more soon!
