After the progress update was posted last time, I received a lot of encouragement from friends in the comments and private messages. Thank you all for your support!
Many players have pointed out that recently it seems like I've been pushing the progress too fast. I realized that I was feeling a little negative about the game due to some less-than-ideal feedback, so I wanted to give this project an end sooner. This kind of fatigue is a mental issue that tends to affect every long-term updating creator periodically. This is not good, I deeply reflect on this.
So, for the next version, I plan to add some additional events of Asuna's POV based on the original plan.
However, many of the previous works have involved "major events" material, and now it's already the middle to late April. According to the original plan, it might be challenging to finish an "additional Asuna event" + "major event" version update by the end of May.
Therefore, after careful evaluation, I've decided: to release an early version with mainly the additional Asuna event in mid-May, and the "major event" version update by the end of June.
In addition, this weekend, I made some minor improvements to the previous cave event and added a "limited event" mode. Although no new CGs were added, I included additional dialogues from Asuna's perspective. I hope everyone enjoys it.
