Hey all, TD here with the monthly dev diary.
We are currently at 1,151 static images, 55 animations, and 28,710 words.
As you can see, compared to the previous animation count of the last dev diary, Hana's "main event" is quite heavy in that aspect. I hope it'll be the most action-packed mini-golfing scene you've ever seen in a VN. ;)
We are still aiming for an October release, tinkering away at the remaining bits with our resident goth GF (more animations to come), but once...

Hey all, TD here with a somewhat belated developer diary.
Normally we try to squeeze in a couple of these a month, but this time around, we decided to fit in some extra previews/bonus images in lieu of not really having much to report beyond our working tally.
Speaking of our working tally, we currently sit at 990 statics, 19 animations, and 19,467 words for Ch4Up1.
Hana's date has progressed nicely and we have finally hit what I will call the "main event" of the evening, a ...

Hello all, TD here with the next dev log of Ch4Up1. I hope everyone is doing well.
All told, we're sitting at 561 static images, 6 animations, and 12,477 words. I thought we would come in below average with me being out of town and all the prep work Hana's date has required (they'll be multiple location changes!), but it looks like we managed to roughly hit our usual 2-week output - our graphing friend can let me know if I'm super off base with this.
We flew past Ian's portion of ...

TD: Hey all, please check out our friend Story Anon's wonderful passion project, Out of Touch. It's a narrative focused visual novel packed full of humor, friendship, and crazy anime shit - harkoning back to the charages that first sparked my interest in visual novels more than a decade ago. One part warmly familiar and tropey, one part quixotic and experimental, and full of heart, OoT skyrocketed to one of my fav...

Hey all, TD here with the second developer diary of Ch4Up1.
This one is coming to you a few days early, as I will be going out of town for the weekend to a film festival.
Currently, we sit at 298 static images, 3 animations, and 6,622 words.
Things are proceeding smoothly. The update will start with four variables openings, dependant on who you visited at the end of Ch3Up4. We have finished the Mina and Veronica openings and are currently on the tail-end of the Victoria one....

Hey, all TD here with the first developer diary of the Ch4Up1 cycle. Two more chapters to go!
GIL and I slowly got the ball rolling again this week (June 21st specifically for our graph-making friend) and we presently sit at 57 images, 3 animations, and roughly 3,041 words. Not too shabby considering the fast ball posing-wise I threw GIL from the very start of the script.
Our plans for this update is for a relatively smaller and more self-contained one than Ch3Up4. It'll cover the...

It's finally here folks!
Changes for the public release:
- A new Kat-centric ending has been added to the night. Totaling 49 static images and 1,546 words.
- Fixed a MAJOR bug involving the resolution of week 2's photoshoot contest and tying scores. If you didn't use the the hotfix attached to the early release post, I highly recommend ctrl skipping through the exhibition again so the correct winners will be set.
- Fixed a MAJOR oversight where n...

Hey all TD here, letting you all know that Ch3Up4 has been in the tester reader's hands for the last couple of days and things are going smooth. Everyone seems to be finishing up nicely and it's safe to say we'll have an early release this week. Attached above is our tentative release schedule, assuming no catastrophic ineptitude will be discovered by our testers. I hope everyone will enjoy the conclusion to chapter 3.

TD here with the final dev diary of this update cylce.
Currently, we sit at 2,631 statics, 92 (the final count) animations, and 62,369 words total for update 3.4
That last one is a new metric we'll be including in these reports going forward. A fellow dev (Story Anon, who is the author of the wonderful VN Out of Touch) showed me how to easily calculate it with the ren'py SDK. For reference, the project's total word count is 375,122 words -- a number that I'm wholly ambivalent abou...

Hey all, TD here with what I'm hoping will be the next to last developer diary before the release of Ch3Up4.
All told, we currently sit at 2,305 static images (the most ever) and 77 animations. Kinda crazy when you think that's being fit into a span of a single in-game evening.
Presently, I'd say we're about 65-70% of the way through the last event of the exhibition, with two more talky events to wrap everything up and conclude the update. Those latter two should go quickly, but G...

Hey all, TD here.
It's not Sunday, but I wanted to squeeze in a dev diary before the end of the month so you guys can make an informed decision with your support. All told, we are currently at 1,970 static images and 65 animations.
We are at the tail end of the second girl's scene in the exhibition - which is a pretty big tail, admittedly, with one more girl remaining after that. Then there's the connective tissue required to wrap things up. I'm still hopeful about our target of M...

Now, onto the progress report. Currently we sit at 1677 static images and 57 animations for this update.
Things aren't looking too shabby right now. One carnation's event is completely behind us and we're ...
