About the status of development as of November

We've received another status update from Daraneko.
Please give it a read.
=======================================
I'm here with my second regular status update.

Right now, I'm making a whole lot of event scenes.
Chapter 3 Route A has as many scenes as Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 post-route split combined, so I'm screaming internally while I'm working on it.
And this is after deleting a bunch of stuff too. There were just too many things I absolutely didn't want to leave out, so I'm really giving myself a headache here.

---------------------

For this time's new art, here's a new pose for Misha in the desert.
Fun fact: in the survey (which you can access from the game), there's a question that asks "Who's your favorite character?" and it turns out that Misha's the most popular of them all.
What's more, every once in a while I get messages from people all over the world who are madly in love with her. Fear her irresistable charms.



Actually, even a slightly different pose like this isn't as simple as just going up to the illustrator and saying "Hey, can you draw this for me? Thanks."
It actually takes quite some time to make new art.

First, I have to think about what kind of scene I want to make, and what kind of composition would fit that scene.
Then, I collect a bunch of references so that the artist can understand what I want the illustration to look like.
When the art is done, I'll tell the artist what I think, and go, "Could you make that part a little bit more like this?" and tweak the details until it's perfect.
Neither me nor the artist could make the art on our own.
It's the fruit of our joint efforts.

And that includes this piece too, of course.
I asked for so many revisions with so much passion and conviction, like, "The cleavage! It needs to look more, y'know, like this! Like THIS!!" to the point where even the artist started cringing at me like, "Does this even look any different...?" Despite that, here it is. The fruit of our joint efforts.

---------------------

I was only planning to show one new illustration this time, but here's another extra sneak peek.
I'll keep this guy's identity a secret for now.



By the way, we don't know if he's actually going to attack like this.
This picture was suddenly sent to me by the artist. Unprompted. I kind of like it, though.
Maybe it'd be fun to add sound effects like this to the attacks, just like comic books.

=======================================

And that's all for this status update.
Please wait just a little bit longer!

And that concludes Daraneko's status update.
Development is still going strong, so please continue to support us!
