A Promise Best Left Unkept - Aya Edition News

[p]Hi![/p][p]Next month is going to be the official release of the game. It's been hard, having all the animations/illustrations ready in such a short span of time, but let's hope I'm going to make it. Anyway, let's get this out of the way.[/p][p]Here are the things added:[/p][p]+ 24.2k word (total: 466.4k words)[/p][p]+ 8 CG sets (total: 125 CGs)[/p][p]+ 3 lewd scenes (total: 68 lewd scenes)[/p][p]I feel like I have quite a few things to say, but I don't want to waste more time before releasing this. I mentioned it before, but this ending (because this update does reach an ending) wasn't planned. I wrote it because I thought about it on the spot, and found it funny. The plan was to release the other ending from this path first, so that even if this one fail, it would be fine. But the other endings had more animations, and as you can see, I'm already very slow with those. So I was forced to go with this ending first. I don't think it’s very good. It also cost a lot for how bad it is. But whatever. We had to get through it at some point. I guess that point is today.[/p][p]You might observe that some moments could have had a CGs. Those moments, while not important, were supposed to have CGs. But I'm a retarded person who doesn't really think about budget or time when writing. If I had done those as well, we would be at like 12 CGs, most of them not even that interesting. Anyway! Don't want to spoil or say things that I shouldn't so I will just stop.[/p][p]Next update, I might have the same kind of problem. Not necessarily the animations, but maybe the illustrations. I'm currently paying my artist more so he can draw faster, but yeah… this is tight. It's kind of my fault for wanting to complete the game for November, but we've been in this development cycle for long enough, I think.[/p][p]In any case, no commentaries. Don't feel like doing those.[/p][p]Have a nice end of the week.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey guys.[/p][p]I'm not feeling all that well, but that's life, I guess.[/p][p]It's hard to tell if this update is any good. My focus has been a bit elsewhere, so hopefully I did an okay job coding this.[/p][p]Here are the new things added:[/p][p]- 20k~ words (total: 442k words)[/p][p]- 8 CG sets (total: 117 CGs)[/p][p]- 4 Lewd scenes (total: 65 lewd scenes)[/p][p]The number of lewd scenes is debatable, so I put four. But as you can see there's more action as we get closer to an ending. I'm really not sure if I'll be able to have all the CGs/animations ready for next month. Even for this update, I was forced to pick and choose, pretty much. I want to complete this game for November, so we'll see what happens. This is kind of an annoying situation.[/p][p]I don't have much to say. I feel like I forgot a few things, but I can't afford to wait longer before releasing this.[/p]

[p]Here we go again, for more Aya fun time! We're starting a new route today, this is exciting.[/p][p]Here's what's new:[/p][p]- 18k words (total: 422k words)[/p][p]- 4 CG sets (total: 109 CGs)[/p][p]- 2 Lewd scenes (total: 61 lewd scenes)[/p][p]So yeah, we're starting a new path. In order to reach it, you simply need to choose "The Convenience Store" when looking for Aya. The previous choice doesn't matter. This choice overrides it.[/p][p]If you use the Jump To Version menu in the extra section, you will jump right at the choice. You will be forced to see one scene that is almost exactly the same from Aya perspective, but then you will fully enter the new path.[/p][p]The update is slightly smaller than I would like, but since the endings have more sex scenes, and thus more animations. I'm hoping to release a bigger update next month (believe me, I want to finish this soon).[/p][p]I don't have much to say about this update. I have not written a commentary for Aya Edition this month, I've been too busy trying to add features to my site. Now you can leave a review for specific builds. I've been busier, trying to keep up with three monthly releases, plus The Edge of… so yeah. I like doing commentaries, but I won't force it.[/p][p]For the Simplified Chinese, the beginning of the path is not translated. But if you skip further away, most of it is translated. It's just that I forgot that some events were changed from previous files (due to the shift in path). I apologize for that. It will be fixed next month.[/p]

It took more time than expected, but here we are. The first ending of Aya Edition. Let's get this out of the way, V0.8.3 adds:

- 14340 words (total: 404k words)

- 6 CG sets (total: 105 CGs)

- 3 Lew scenes (total: 59 lewd scenes)

Although this is the first ending, it doesn't really feel that way. Compared to the original, Aya Edition, I think, was stronger during the corruption phase. I feel like the endings will be inferior to the original. Though that's kind of hard for me to evaluate, really. Sorry for always being negative. I know it's not the way you want to go about reading the update.

In any case, you will notice that there are quite a few animations… That's because the action usually ramps up toward the end. I sincerely hope that it doesn't mess with my schedule, but if I need four animations for an update… I might have a hard time with the current animators that I have. Just something to keep in mind.

I don't have much to say about the content of this update. As you can see, the game is already 404k words (with the common route). That's… a lot more than I thought this game was going to be. We still have three endings left after this one, around 100k words to go. Hopefully, we conclude this game in something like 6 months…?

Something in this update did make me… feel a bit sad. I talk a bit about it in the commentaries. Can't really mention it now though.

I will also raise the price of the game by a few dollars. There's enough content in the game at this point that I feel like it's the right time to do so.

Hey.

Before I talk about this update, I just want to announce that there won't be an update next month. My artist needed this month to recuperate. This isn't something I wanted to happen, but we're there anyway.

Since we've started an ending, I need more CGs, which means that… I couldn't even make this update as long as I would have liked it to. And I also had to give up on one CG.

This ending, all in all, is around 34k words, which means that halved in two… makes for a small update.

The content: 14113 words added, 6 CG sets, and, like, 3 lewd scenes.

My thoughts are a bit of a mess right now, so I don't know what I should even say. I have worries, as usual. Some will like this ending, others won't.

So, no update for Aya Edition next month.

In any case, take care of yourself.
