Sprite art preview: Diaper designs!

This might come as a bit of a surprise to many, but we're making some minor adjustments to the diaper designs for Miki and Nova mainly.

Why is that? Well when looking over the designs and trying to keep things spoiler free about the meaning behind the diaper designs for each student at the academy. I've felt like these two characters have very similar themes going on for their diapers and in some way, it didn't really help either of them too much.

Music preview: Late Night

Hopefully everyone has been enjoying the music within v0.19 and if you're someone who has turned music off, I'd highly suggest trying to play the game again with music on here within the upcoming releases as more music will be coming! ^^

This is our first track that should make it in for v0.20 and we'll possibly get another track added before v0.20 is ready to release in mid August, so we're hoping for two complete tracks.

This track here "Late Night" is meant to be heard during...

It's been a while since our last preview look at the Sprite Creator tool, so let's dive into a more complete look at it. :P

Just want to once again let everyone who supported us during June, know that we're very thankful for it! ^^ I know June was filled with delay after delay and many are on the fence right now, possibly waiting to see if we pull through finally.

Episode 4 news update!

Edit: 6/16/21 (Had to update this post. I'd rather do this now instead of later when it'll just cause more issues.)

I might've jumped the gun with the mention for the 20th, as there's still other steps in the process before release is possible. I know how that might look, but it's part of our regular release process.

We have different people tackling many aspects of the game and steps before a release is possible, so there's always other factors I have to keep in mind or consi...

A quick little post as a shout out to everyone who supported us during May! We know things are a bit awkward right now for the game releases planned, but we're already working ahead with episode 5.
