Poll results for book 1's best girl:
1. Hikari -17 votes!!
2. Kanehana - 12 votes!
3. FMC - 8 votes!
Hikari wins the poll and the next chapter is all about her, she basically wins twice this week! So all you Hikari fans out there, this chapter is for you!
Here it is! This is going to be a long post regarding the development, progression, and whatnot so feel free to skip to the download links if you want to.
Let's start by saying this was an extremely challenging chapter to make and it managed to teach me a thing or two and also made us realize how much room we could still grow in, so that's awesome; we'll definitely continue to do so!
Apologies for the delay once again, I feel like I'm saying this a lot, but I do mean it. The reason the delay happens is because of "my want" to present the game to you as best as I could, although I need to change scheduling fixed dates because I know it gets annoying when they're not met. That will be the first thing I do tomorrow, I need a reset after releasing this.
So, what happened? Chapter 13 is massive, chapters 11 and 12 were already sizeable, see the comparison below:
Chapter 11: 826 renders, 13 animations
Chapter 12: 712 renders, 13 animations
Chapter 13: 895 renders, 51 animations
Discarded renders and animations are excluded and there is a lot.
Yes, the story is written; the whole storyboard is set from start to finish.
However, when the final writing of the scenes that are to be set in the chapter is being made, I start getting more ideas, I started having more fun; then momentum leads to expansion of the scenes. I'll post a somewhat more detailed explanation about this in the behind-the-scenes section.
The storyboard for chapter 13 wasn't that long, it was at least equal to the 2 previous chapters but poof it became that way, and not to toot my own horn but I love how this chapter turned out, I hope you do too. What's got me slightly nervous is hoping I could match this chapter's quality or surpass it, but I do have more cards up my sleeve, so ease that worry.
I'm sure you all know what would be in chapter 13 by now given the cliffhanger from the last chapter, so there's really not much point in saying anything further about that.
Android ports in a day or two.
So is it worth the wait? You tell me:
PC: Mega || Gdrive
MAC: Mega || Gdrive
Android: Mega || Gdrive || Workupload
Thank you, everyone! I hope you stay with us till the story ends, whether you continue supporting us or not. I love having our story told and we appreciate you liking it.

2022-06-21 04:36:36 +0000 UTC2. Chapter13.rpy line 138 needs a check and an updated line I believe. I don't think Akemi would refer to MC and Hikari like she did. To help locate it, line 137 for me is: scene c13s210 with dissolve Maybe it's just me, but it just didn't feel right when I read it.
2022-06-20 20:45:47 +0000 UTC1. EO does that a lot, it sucks that I can't catch them all before we release, apologies. Though it's funny to me every time we find one. 2. Could you elaborate further, I was unable to find anything wrong. 3. Fixed 4. Fixed Thank you for this and your continued support!

2022-06-20 17:45:08 +0000 UTCJust getting into this one 1) In the first scene with MC, Kanehana, and Hime, you accidentally referred to Hime as Hikari in Yellow. 2) early on, you're missing a variable check in the Akemi, Hikari, and MC conversation in the flashback 3) In the hotel, Future!Hikari's conversation has a missed Honorifics check. ("Yeah, I don't think I need to convince you of anything...") it displays the 2 different versions of that line back to back 4) in a similar vein, you accidentally have Future Hikari saying "Go ahead..." instead of Hikari That's all I noticed, otherwise, awesome chapter, about time Hikari got her time!
