Hi everyone!

Finally... finally got my new monitor today! They were giving me the runaround for a while, but here we are!

I've been working and finishing the renders on my old monitor - it had some color and pixel issues but at least I could see something. But now... now I can actually see the real colors of everything.

Oh! I've got something to share with you all... I've thinking on something...

I created an Excel spreadsheet detailing my entire update process - every single step I take from start to finish! I thought it would be nice for you to understand more about how these updates come together, and you can even track where I am in the development process. I'll pin it so anyone curious about the update's progress can check it out easily!

Also attaching the changelog (as it's coming along) for the upcoming update and some final renders.

Oh! I had some... issues with Madison's post-processing, so I'm redoing that part (just the post-processing, not the rendering, thank goodness).

That's all for now. Thanks for being patient with me through all this monitor drama.

Kisses to all of you,

~Yukana

The original art style was very unique & the characters were very beautiful, it's not the same with ai.

I don't mind it either but I do wish the developer had just integrated it into their existing game and continued with the story rather than remaking the whole thing.

You got me there tough guy. I'll just go over here and sit and watch you argue about whether manually rendered images are better than AI rendered images. Lmao, we're on a pirate forum, there's no real need to argue about stupid shizz like this.

Hi everyone...

You know, all that time without my PC (first the CPU and motherboard failure, then my stupid monitor) made me think about things. We take so many little things for granted, don't we? There were days, like I mentioned before, when I felt too depressed to work. But now, after being forced to stop even when I wanted to work... it's made me realize we shouldn't waste the time we have when all our tools are working. You never know when things might go even more to shit, right?

I haven't really shared much about my creative process with you all... I don't know if it matters much, but...

When I'm working on updates, and when I'm focused on dialogue interactions... sometimes, the weirdest thing happens - new interactions just pop into my head! Then I find myself thinking, "Oh no, I don't have renders to show that..."

Before, I used to either avoid those new interactions entirely or simplify them to avoid extra rendering work. But this time? I'm doing the opposite! You can actually see these changes if you check the pinned post - there are updates both in the Excel sheet and in the notes below it.

Speaking of progress, let me break down where I am!
I'm currently working on Nanami's main route (which has 3 sub-routes). After that, we have:
  • Amber's route (short dialogue-wise)
  • Madison's route (moderate length)
  • Elizabeth's route (a bit longer, but much less subdivided than Nanami's)
  • Isabella's route (moderate, similar to Madison's)
And finally, there's a section for the main story. It's short, but it's slowly building up the main plot!

I'm trying to be more transparent about all this... I hope seeing the process helps you understand how these updates come together.
Thanks for being patient with me through all of this.

PS: Made some collage to show renders w/o spoiling

Hi, im looking into trying this game out. Was wandering if season 1 is included in 0.22 remake update or is there a separate download somewhere?

The remake is only a partial remake of Season 1 as of this moment in time.
