A Promise Best Left Unkept - Aya Edition News

Alright, so this is it. I don't know how to feel about this update. I knew we would have to tackle it at some point, but it was always far away in my mind.

First of all, for the things that were added. 21k words~, 6 CG sets, and 1 sex scene. I know, 1 sex scene sounds low when we're at this point in the story, but it is how it is.

Now, it will sound kind of hollow coming from me since I say it pretty much every single time. But this worries me. I tried my best to think of a way to avoid what's happening in this update… but it's not possible. This is the problem with Aya, pretty much. I never thought she was compatible with NTR, and this update encapsulates the reason why perfectly. I won't say more about it until after everyone had the chance to play the update, but that's just my personal opinion and I want to share it.

I also feel let down by how the sex scene ended up looking like. I wanted to animate it, but it would have cost too much. Also, the direction could have been better. I tried something, but I think it didn’t work all that well.

Other important scenes are also suffering from bad direction, I feel like. I know it's a visual novel, and there's a limit to how I can portray things, but it still doesn't mean I can't be disappointed by it. In my head, I had a very clear image of what I wanted to show… but it lacks something. It's hard to put into words.

In any case! I know me, whining, is stupid. I should be building up hype, not shooting it with a shotgun. So I'll stop here. Depending on people's reactions, I'll post something more thorough in the next couple of weeks explaining my thoughts on the matter. For now, happy disappointment!

Hello, everyone!

V0.7.3 adds 20700~ words to the story, 4 CG sets, and 2 sex scenes. It also adds the first choice, although, as of right now, you can only choose one option out of the two. Like the development of the original, we're going about it in a linear order. So one ending at a time. Would be too complicated to have multiple endings developing at the same time.

Next month will be the last update before we start the first ending. So we're getting dangerously close to the end of the game. Well, I say relatively because, while we will be starting the first ending, it will still take about two updates to complete it, and we have three more endings after that one… so yeah. If everything goes well, we should complete Aya Edition either in October or November.

I've… also been losing a bit too much time on the commentaries. I know how much you love those retarded bits, so of course I'm going to waste multiple hours on them. Seriously though, I… love to give myself a headache.

In any case, I was in a hurry to release the update, and so I haven't looked at the text as much as I would have liked it. Let's cross our fingers and pray I didn't blunder.

Changelog V0.7.3
Story

• Added 4 CG sets
  
• Added 2 lewd scenes
  
• Added 20.7k~ words to the story
  

We're finally back to our usual monthly releases. Hopefully, this won't happen often. I'm able to release this early in the month mainly because I worked on the update in November.

While November wasn't a break per se, it still wasn't enough to give me a chance to release a bigger update. This update is pretty much the same length as the other one. It's a bit more than 20k words, it adds 6 CG sets and 3 lewd scenes. I mainly needed more time because there were a bit more animations this time around. This can really mess up my schedule.

As for the content of the update, there are a lot of things I would like to say about it. I made a few mistakes, I also feel like things are moving fast… but this is kind of ridiculous when you think about it. We're 300k words deep in the story. Almost no NTR games are this long. And we still have around 10 months worth of updates to go. So yeah… hope you guys enjoy it…

Changelog V0.7.0
Story

• Added 6 CG sets
  
• Added 3 lewd scenes
  
• Added 20k~ words to the story
  

V0.6.6 is more of a transitional update. It doesn't have as much action as I would like it to, but it's important story-wise.

As for the actual content, about 27k words have been added, 3 CG sets, and two-ish lewd scene. One thing I need to make clear is that I have been having a hard time with the animations these days. In fact, the scene from last month that missed an animation is still not animated. I'll make sure to animate it before the next update, so yeah… that's kinda frustrating.

Something I realized is that with working with three projects at the same time, the thing that is taking a hit is the coding/direction. I feel like I've been lazier and lazier with the way I direct the scenes. I don't know if it's noticeable or not, but I'm not quite satisfied with this update. Maybe I'm just thinking too much, but if you guys notice it, I would like to know.

I've also been lazy with testing the game for bugs, so do let me know if you find some.

One last thing, but I'm on a break right now. Been a while since I took anything resembling a break. Although it's mainly because I'm waiting for my animator. So don't expect an update next month. The next update should release here more in January. Sorry about that.

In any case, the next update should have more juicy scenes, I promise. We're slowly getting closer to the endings and so things should ramp up pretty fast.

Changelog V0.6.6 Story

• Added 3 CG sets

• Added 27k~ words to the story
  

Hello, guys~

This was tight. And I'm not talking about Aya's pussy… or am I?

Seriously though, I'm talking about the animations. I'm having a really hard time having all the animations ready for the month. I guess working on other projects doesn't help either. So the last CG is not animated, I'm sad to say. I'm trying to find a third animator to make sure this doesn't happen again, but it might take some time to find the right fit.

Also, I gave up on writing a commentary due to time constrain.

In any case, let's go down to business. This update is a bit more than 18k words. It adds 4 CG sets and 2 sex scenes. And just to make it clear, the reason the version is 0.6.3 and not 0.6.5 is that we need to adjust to the amount of update left for the game. It has nothing to do with the amount of content in the update per se.

Anyway, I'll let you have your fun now… and I'll have mine, by beginning the process of hangovering.
