Nova expressions complete!

In case you aren't aware yet, the game is undergoing some changes to fix file size and expressions are part of it. Before the game had at least 100+ different expressions for Nova, covering over her other outfits as well.

It's very excessive for what is really needed and much was never really used more than once.

The main goal is 20-24 base expressions per character, much like any other vn game. These would be shared across to their other outfits and be unique to the character ...

Behind the scenes: Engine work #3

Very short little behind the scenes for engine work! (check post #2 for previous news)

So since having day 5 stuff done, the file size was 565MB. I finished up day 7 tonight and now the file size is 478MB! ^^

Little by little the size continues to get smaller and it's looking better as I continue work on fixing up the engine stuff. Some of the remaining bulk of that size remaining is f...

Behind the scenes: Engine work #2

This will be a little behind the scenes, more news in a sense kind of post as much of the actual engine work is kind of different to share visually.

So, if you aren't up to date on the engine work stuff going on. Check this previous post out.

This is on going for update 0.11 to make sure the file size is fully future proofed for the rest of the game project dev process. Also good for ...

Erika expressions complete!

In case you don't know yet, the game is undergoing some changes to fix file size and expressions are part of it. Before the game had at least 150+ different expressions for Erika, covering over her other outfits as well.

But that's a bit too excessive! >.<

The plan for a while now has been to cut down on this and make it similar to other vn's with a base set amount of 20-24 per character. Each character should still come off feeling unique as no two Happy expressions shoul...

May news post #3

In case you haven't kept up with the previous news posts, check out #2 here. (links to #1 are in #2's post)

Quick recap on engine adjusting progress. Yesterday was my first day working on the engine adjusting files in old sections, fixing dialogue/text, replacing old images with new ones, getting file size for the game lower for the future proofing overall.

The good news is I did days 1-2 and so far t...

Behind the scenes: Engine work #1

This will be a little behind the scenes, more news in a sense kind of post as much of the actual engine work is kind of different to share visually.

Anyways! Writing has come to an end for May. With it, I am now fully working on engine work for the upcoming update. Which includes the massive fixing of file size, adjustments, file compression and reworking to make sure the previous content visually and gameplay wise is still all working as intended from being fixed up with the compressi...

Miki expressions complete!

So this is a little new in a sense..

If you don't know about this already, the game is under going some engine fixing and adjusting not only in terms of general file size. But also cutting down on excessive amount of sprite images, compressing of images, fixing of dialogue/text, etc.

This is part of the cutting down on excessive sprite expression images.. <.< Now what do I mean by that exactly?

Well in Miki's case... I have 200+ expression images between outfit ver...

Behind the scenes: Day 16 Section 3

Early preview of the writing for section 3. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Nova, Rosa & Allie.

The section begins once Brandon comes across a very interesting booth for the swim club, where he finds Allie in her swimsuit. He asks her if the other two are around and she teases him a bit, before we see Rosa and Nova show up. They're all talking about various things, mainly about their swimsuits, more general school plot news, mention of transfer studen...

Preview for Kickstarter! Miki character standee!

This is a very early look, but this is supposed to be the finished product for how the character standee's for kickstarter rewards will look like.

I will of course hope to have the other character (6 main and 3 side girls) done and sent to me in person first. Check quality of the product, make sure that when handling these. That they pass a very high quality so, think of me as a quality check before I send them to people. ^^

There will be different versions of these in the futur...

Rachel sprite design change preview #3

This might be the last major preview in terms of changes or differences, as it seems the on going poll here. Along with the one before it seem to lean towards her being 5'5" tall and bust size, with her new body type in mind, etc.

The one thing that seems to pop up mainly is that people would like to see how she looks with the pony tail and I'd like to share how that looks with everyone. This...

May news post #2

In case you haven't seen the first post, check it out here. (warning long read) and also make sure to update yourself with this post here that expands on some news for bg/cg stuff.


So the writing is nearly wrapped up at this point for the month, as mentioned it will be a shorter amount of content this month (only day 16 & ...

Behind the scenes: Day 16 Section 2

Early preview of the writing for section 2. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Erika, Miki and Charlotte.

The section begins with Brandon who runs into Miki & Charlotte, who are playing pretend from the looks of it. After a little bit of interaction between each other, it's made aware that they're trying to help Erika pull in a crowd for the literature club. While they're thinking about what they're doing wrong to get attention, Brandon goes to the booth...

Support goal reached! Thanks!

Really quickly, I noticed we reached over the $500 goal I set. Which means I'll begin looking to hire a composer to make music pieces and sound effects for the game by June/July. ^^

One more goal down for the progress of work going into the project! Big thanks to everyone who continues to support us through the months, even those who for whatever reason can't support with funding. Any help with sharing the word about the game in communities and supporting by other help is always greatl...

Rachel's new design poll #2

I wasn't going to make a poll for this, but I figured it could prove useful in seeing if opinions have changed since the first preview with her sketch or if there's still some major issues to look at for concern.

Here's the post for her 2nd preview.

Rachel sprite design change preview #2

With the voting coming to a close, I have collected some concerns. But also trying to keep things open in terms of this design right now to give it some time and see how everyone feels about how she's looking with color added to her, more polished up.

This doesn't mean it's set in stone, as things can change still. But based on the previous voting with her new design, I felt another preview was in order first before really choosing to do some stuff.

Now below is some stuff that ...

Background art preview: Courtyard garden

A early preview at the courtyard garden area! ^^

This here puts May's bg's at 3 new ones (courtyard, diaper training room, club room.) and while these three were meant to be in April's update (0.10). Sadly our bg artist is fighting computer issues and didn't want to agree to any new bg's until further notice until they can ensure to fulfill their promise on their end given the hardware being used can run into issues, etc.

Even with that in mind, these three have come out looking...

Behind the scenes: Day 16 Section 1

Early preview of the writing for section 1. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Rachel.


It begins with Brandon roaming around during the 2nd day of the festival. He makes notice of Rosa dressed up as a cat maid girl, posing out front of a booth and chats with her. He learns that she's helping Rachel and that later the kickboxing club is helping the swim club. It isn't long after that Rachel takes notice of Brandon, rushing over excited that he stopped by ...

Bg update!

Minor update for today! Our bg artist managed to get the night and sunset versions done for club room and diaper training room.

Their preview posts have been updated.

club room
diaper training room

Small post regarding changes coming to day 5 content!

This might come to some as a shock, but given how we want the direction of the game to lead. There is some problematic content in day 5 section 3 regarding John that many people dislike.

While it is optional and can be avoided, I feel that while looking over everything recently. The questionable content that can be avoided in that given section seems to push things too far in it's theme, not to confuse it. As there is going to be sexual things in the game, but with how that scene is ha...

Minor news post regarding bg art and cg art for May!

Jumping right into it, I think shortly after my news post for May that mentioned what could be possible for new bg art added mentioned that our bg artist was catching up with April's bg's (diaper training room and club room to finish, plus courtyard garden area)

Well, in case I didn't mention it in that post. >.< I jumped to a conclusion early, assuming our bg artist had their computer issues fixed to continue. But it turns out they're still having issues, they mentioned trying t...

Background art preview: Club room

A early preview for the club room! (possible variants in the future to match certain clubs, example cosplay club having racks of clothing added to the room.)

 Edit: all bg's done! ^^

This is to try and take in a collective understanding if you guys like the new cg scene art or if you prefer the current cg art, possibly some pros or dislikes with how the artists handle aspects? You can see the example cg scene with the new art style here.

Without saying much, this voting poll will be to collect what you all think about the new design for Rachel. Which you can see at this post here.

Rachel sprite design change preview #1

(public post as it's a big change for the game that feels right to let public followers be aware of as well. Future previews for Rachel's new design will be exclusive to $5 supporters though, sorry! )

This is only the line art concept right now and some of it is a little rough. But I wanted to share how her new design is starting to look so far.

Things to remember and keep in mind.

-Eye color is going to be roughly the same color as her current sprite.
-Hair color is g...

Cg scene preview: Miki spanked in class

As I mentioned in the news post for May, if you haven't read it. You can read through it here. (long read, jump to "(2) cg scenes" in that post. )

So to sum things up for those who are new or continuing supporters with us. Due to pricing budget for the project, we had a lot of thought behind this during April. Which is why there wasn't anything new for cg scenes during that month while trying to figure thing...

Background art preview: Diaper training room

A early preview for the diaper training room area! :P

Edit: all bg's done! ^^

The monthly Q&A and voting poll. These are open to the public, but supporters votes by default count as double and when answering questions they'll be given more priority.

Q&A is simply just as it sounds! Leave any questions about the game, be it tech support, story, character, etc. Whatever feels fitting for questions to ask about the game and project. (These questions can be directed in a roleplaying style towards select characters, watch as they personally reply back to you ...
