Kinetic novel, no choices.
There might be choices to exclude stuff people might dislike, but that is about it. At least that is the plan for now, things might change.
The story is designed as double protagonists, and a lot of time they interact with each other. Who would make the choice? The girl or the boy?
Things become so much more complex with that.
I understand that the feeling of "impacting the story" might be important for some, and I will take it into consideration. Maybe a choice of "you are experiencing the story as xxx" and then certain choices could change the responses you get from whomever "you" communicate with.
But most likely not for this story.
But maybe in sections where the protagonists are not interacting with each other could be something I include in this story though, but no promises.
Ability to name the characters is more likely to be included, but no promise there either. I have intentionally written the story to exclude names so it would only impact minimal anyway.
As for updates. I decided to NOT go with smaller updates but follow the roadmap I included in the dev notes.
It is not abandoned, I promise you.
With the change to 16:9, even though I told myself "this novel should by design be a bit 'sloppy'", when I started working on the images, either cropping and upscaling or outpainting, I just could not stop myself from cleaning a few things up.
One thing leads to the next and suddenly I found myself in the rabbit hole of "perfection".
For example, making images like these, to make all 3 images in different angles takes a lot more work than people probably realize.
On the bright side, I have learned quite a lot from using img editing tools like krita.
I have spent more time using krita than generate new images since the initial release.
(keep in mind, there are still inconsistencies, like the toilet changing a bit, her dress not having a slit, red rug smaller in one image etc. Things that might or might not be fixed before next update)
