Hey guys! It's that time of the month again... time to put out a devlog, I mean. What, did you think I meant something else?

Development Progress

Unfortunately, due to both Krash and I running into a lot of issues lately, on top of tech issues for everyone, and the stacked combo of me being sick, to me hurting my back and being unable to get out of bed, back to me being sick... November was a damn struggle for all of us. Krash is currently an incredible help as usual, but for those who don't know, Krash does like a million things a day, and maybe only a 10th of that is OA stuff. Right now, he's away from home for work and will be back as soon as he can, and he will work from his current spot, but it's still providing some difficulties.

When it comes to art scenes, Astro is working on probably the biggest scene of the update, and Farmer, I believe, is at least ALMOST done with his scene. We have a few random scenes that are already done, and I will put up a vote if you want me to post previews for those out of order. As it goes, though, I'm working very close with the artists, and I know Astro is working with other artists to help him improve. He's improved so much recently (after already being great), and he's going to be fantastic.

Writing wise, I'm taking a break from the scene I REALLY want to write in order to write a couple of smaller scenes. That's not saying I don't want to write these. It's just a scene with Autumn, so I'm more excited than normal.
Both the smaller scenes have actually given me trouble because I keep changing up small things as I write, but I'm a firm believer in creating outlines and using them as a template for the true script.
(I should've left this for the next section, rahhhh)

When it comes to music and stuff, I have a lot of prepared music, but I want to look for more unique music from smaller artists. I got permission from a couple more artists recently, so that's really exciting! Side note: I may change the main menu thing and put the song in a scene.

One last note; I feel so bad for those not intro trans girls. Harper is so hot, lol

Writing Process/ Lampy is rambling again

First things first! I put out a post about it recently, but I wanted to reiterate that this part of the game is meant to be pretty silly and not so serious in tone. This is just because we wanted to introduce everything and everyone with a lighthearted tone. While the story is meant to be dark at its core (and trust me, it will get dark), the characters are meant to be a bright light in the darkness. This does not mean jokes in the face of tragedy, but more they are supposed to be there to lift the story along. I see worries and confusion about this, but this is something I've been focusing very hard on in scripting.

Also, on this subject, I think I would love to do a full drama type story, but for my first writing experience, I feel having fun while learning is more important. Attempting to immediately go for a mood that I'm not used to- serious- sounds rough, and while I definitely will be writing more serious stuff in this story, it's something I want to come naturally, instead of forcing a mood or some inauthentic feelings. A lot of my writing comes from a familiar place, which - not to toot my own cock- I think adds authenticity and character to my writing. I'm still far from professional, but looking at your own writing and liking it is the best damn feeling.

I don't think I can understate the fact that I love the character writing process as well. Phoebe was a character we always intended to be bratty, but as we started writing more of her, she's kind of shaped into a deeper character, and molding her into the character I think she's meant to be has been fantastic.

In this case, you'll notice some character differences between the prologue and chapter 1, due to us fully understanding the characters. In one example, I embraced the Autumn that you see in the text messages and wrote her like that. She's super goofy and fun, and I just love writing her so damn much. These characters all have their development pathed out, but as we write them, they start telling their own stories.

TL;DR: Writing and enjoying it is fucking awesome.

Final Thoughts

We've had quite a few people join the community, and it always makes me happy seeing new people join in and talk, say their opinions, or whatever they want. I've had so much support from fans, other creators, and my own team, and it just makes us want to do even better for this release. Honestly, this release can't come fast enough; I want to make you guys laugh and feel all the intended emotions.

Also, for the small or big criticisms, I'm paying a lot of attention to those, too; that's actually why I brought up the tone shift thing. However, I'll say it again; we are not changing MCs face

Any questions feel free to leave comments or ask on the discord! I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate you!

Hey guys! Welcome to something I'm going to try to do weekly, as replacement for a weekly dev log. The regular dev logs will still come, but like... whats the point of updating every week if theres not much to say?

Today's girl is Summer! The rest of her story will be revealed either in the story or through bio details, so I'm going to knock some small info out of the way first, and then throw in some fun facts!

  • As some of you have gathered, Summer and Winter are very close friends. I like to think of them as having the type of bond that won't waver even if they don't talk for a while; they understand that their friendship is strong enough that it won't fold over something as simple as time.
  • As some of you may have realized, Summer REALLY likes cars. She actually always liked cars, but wasn't inspired fully until she saw a certain hottie working on a car in a movie (Something about transsexual robots idk). After that, she started saving up for her own fancy car, but as she grew more into cars, she ended up deciding on an import. Her car's name is Artemis (Artie for short).
  • Summer played club volleyball for most of her life, as well as playing on the high school team, making varsity first team as a sophomore. She was offered a scholarship to many schools based on her performances, as well as her grades; however, she decided to go to ELU because it was the closest to home.
Now for the fun stuff!

  • Summer sometimes models for her photographer friends. She doesn't want much recognition for it, so she goes by another name in the credits. On top of this, she has taken a couple of lewd photographs for the sake of artistic visions; however, these pics are to stay between her and her (female) friends.
  • On top of her car fascination, Summer also is experienced with bikes and motorcycles. She prefers not to ride them, though, after experiencing awful road conditions due to other drivers. She's also modeled with a bike before; you may be able to find one of those pics somewhere!
  • Though she may seem very anti-nerd, Summer has a big love for action franchises, including super heroes and spy movies. For those wondering which side she's on; she's a CD Comics fan.
I thought I'd add some meta commentary, too! Summer is our oldest model that still remains an asset to this day. The first character we made was old Winter, followed by Summer. I got the idea to name her Summer because we had already made a Winter (Which is a name I've wanted to use for a long time) which is what snowballed into the Seasons.

Summer was always intended to be a main girl, and her personality was always clear to me. I didn't create her personality based on the mean girl trope; I actually based her off real experiences, and molded her entirely around the idea of someone I once knew. While Autumn is the most fun to write, Summer by far comes the most natural for me. There's rarely ever a second thought about my dialogue with her. The writing being easier doesn't make it any less fun, though!

I apologize if this post is formatted weird. This is my first time at this. I really hoped you guys enjoyed learning more about Summer! Let me know what you guys think, anything I should add, if I should catergorize it more, etc.

The next girl I might put a vote for; we are going to space out the main girls and put side girls in between them. Next week I'm thinking of putting in Faye or Joy. The next main girl to get this treatment will be Autumn.

Really hope you enjoyed this, guys! Thank you for your support!

This one feels ambitious, based on the prologue I think It will be massively successful If the quality keeps up.

Love the humor and the writing for characters, seems very natural and just overall enjoyable to read through. The ending of the prologue Is wild, I knew It's a dark story you're aiming for and the opening sets that up well, I do worry about how It's going to end though. Really just hoping the most we see of LI's being harmed is that ending(I can dream, right?), I am a massive bitch when It comes to that stuff and I know from the prologue I'm going to love a lot if not all of the girls.

Summer and Elara are best girls so far, though the competition is strong here.

Last fact of the day; no, Autumn is not trans. I actually considered making a main girl trans, but felt it was best to confine the trans girls to a side girl, to make sure people didn't feel forced to have a relationship to a trans girl if they weren't into that. Again, you're not forced to date anyone in the game, but it was just an example.

Damn, that's so sad, when I started the game and saw her questioning about the trans content I was sure it was was about her. Well, the library girl is pretty hot too, maybe the nicest ass of the game.
