Public Release 0.1513.1 - Nozomi Route Rewrite (Preview)
Hellooooo,
It's been five weeks since the last public release of Penlight, and the game's been in a bit of a transitionary period. My time's mostly been focused on rewriting Nozomi's main path, with the intention of increasing its length, working some more fun kinky scenes and generally fleshing out Nozomi's character some more. I'm hoping by the time I'm done, Nozomi's paths will hold up as well as her friend's, and provide a more satisfying journey into consensual kink than her original route offered.
Nozomi wasn't my sole focus, though. Sayori's Alter path from last month has had a second ending written for it which I'm sure is going to provoke some responses, and there's been a lot of minor tweaks and fixes throughout the game. Penlight's CG gallery is also growing nicely now, with a handful of new images this month.
So, I hope folks enjoy the new additions! Next month I hope to have made significant progress on Nozomi's rewrite and I'll see where to go from there~
Begun re-writing Nozomi's route, allowing for a longer runtime. Fully written up to day 5, with very rough outlining and recycled script up to the epilogue (expect major changes for next time)
Written a second ending for Sayori's new Alter path, where Kyou sides with Sayori's alter personality
New CG featuring Nozomi taking part in last year's culture fest stage show. It appears in the first scene of the game
Added a new CG featuring Sayori with Kyou, during her newer Alter path
Expanded Hiroko's and Nozomi's basic CG sets, allowing for a greater range of expression
Most of Hiroko's penlight and couch scenes now use the new CG assets
Added some more music to Penlight's soundtrack, which play during the newly-written parts of Nozomi's path
Tweaked a line or two of dialogue in the earlier parts of Nozomi's route
Lots of little tweaks to the dialogue during Hiroko's route and the start of the Villainous route
Made some minor textual and visual tweaks to Nozomi's zombie path
Fixed Kyou's sprite not appearing after he refuses to comply with Sayori's request, at the end of the original Alter path
Fixed a text error on one line where Kyou called Sayori's alter "Megumi" regardless of the name Kyou actually gave her
During some of the earlier-written parts of Sayori's route, Kyou's sprite wasn't showing any expression at all. That's now been corrected
Corrected a few instances where Kyou's sprite wasn't showing on some lines in Nozomi's route
Fixed an oversight that had Hiroko's sprite show over her CG during the start of the Villainous Sleeper Agent path
Public Release 0.1510 - Sayori Alter Route Completion
Hi everyone!
This month's public release is pretty much all about Sayori, as the path I previously showed a draft of has now been written out to a conclusion. To see it, Kyou needs to start her route, suggest making her think she's someone else and decline every opportunity to switch Sayori back from her altered state. What follows is, I think, one of Penlight's more interesting storylines so I hope people enjoy it~
In other news, there's a couple more CGs this month, adding a little visual flair to the Villainous and Delusion routes early on.
Next month there'll be some more on Sayori's route, plus some progress on a major rewrite of Nozomi's route that I've been wanting to try my hand at for some time. I'll be really looking forward to seeing what people make of it ^^
Public Release 0.1508 - Sayori Route Additions and CG Bonanza!
Hello again, folks!
There's a few things in this release that I'm pretty excited to show everyone ^.^ Firstly, with the main sprite work done I've been able to turn the art budget to CGs, so we now have art depicting the start of the game, one of the main endings and the start of Sayori's Alter path. They came out really good, and I expect to insert more CGs at a good pace from here on out~
Hiroko's route had a second ending written for it, but Sayori's Alter path is the other thing I'm hyped about. Since her route came out, I left a fragment of story depicting one of Kyou's more irresponsible choices. Since then, ideas of how it might play out have been in my head for months and I decided I really needed to set them free~ While I didn't have time over the holidays to complete it, there's a fair bit of new dialogue along with a (very) rough draft of what comes next, up to just before the epilogue. I think it'll turn out to be one of the more interesting paths in the game so I'm looking forward to getting it written to at least one conclusion in time for next month's release~
All in all, I'm quite happy with this month's output~ I hope you all enjoy the update, and look forward to more CGs and a conclusion to Sayori's new storyline next time ^^
You can now choose to convince Hiroko not to go through with her decision at the end of her route, leading to a different ending
Added much more story to the Sayori Route Alter path, on the decision branch where Kyou keeps Sayori in her altered state (much of it far from finished)
New CGs added for: Introduction scene with Kyou, Delusion route main ending and the start of Sayori's Alter path
New Kyou sprite has been added to the game... for better or worse
A rudimentary CG gallery has been added to the main menu
Updated the code in most of Kyou's spoken lines to ensure his new sprite shows up with an appropriate expression in the more recently-written scenes (He may still be missing in some scenes, though)
Some minor textual additions made to the existing script on most routes
Added a couple more songs to the soundtrack. They play during Sayori's new path
Fixed a minor bug in the Android version where Nozomi's sprite didn't display for a few lines on the Delusion route if Kyou confronted Sayori
Fixed a couple minor bugs common to all versions where Nozomi's sprite doesn't display for a single line on Sayori's route, and on the Villainous route
Fixed a display bug on Nozomi's route, when Kyou decides to test his theory and pushes Nozomi further
Added several new background images to accommodate Sayori's new story
Public Release 0.1506 - New Sprites and Script Rewrites
It's been a little while, but public release day is upon us once again~
In terms of new writing, there's admittedly not much to offer this month, with an alternate ending for Sayori's route and a small extension of Nozomi's reversal path the main additions. However, there's been several rewritten scenes this time around. Mainly this concerns the opening parts of the game and is intended to characterize Kyou as more deluded and socially awkward while toning down the sociopathy when it comes to his thoughts and actions early on. It's still a bit of a work in progress but I hope it improves on the original script.
On the art side of things, Hiroko's tennis friend on her route now has a sprite and a name change~ Risa (formerly Kasumi) has a bigger role in Hiroko's route than either of the other main girls, so I really wanted to give her a visual presence in the game. She looks great, and will probably make a few more appearances if I find the opportunity~
Nozomi's sprite now has a second pose, in line with the other girls. It's nice that she doesn't have to directly face the camera (and therefore Kyou :p) all the time now.
That about sums up this month's updates. Join us in the new year as I turn the art focus to filling out the CG library, along with adding what writing I can during the holiday period.
Significant rewriting of the script concerning Kyou's motivation. Main areas this affected were: Opening scenes leading up to the first choice and aftermath, much of the Delusion route, the Nozomi route's café scene and the early scenes of the Villainous route
You can now refuse Sayori's request at the end of her route, leading to a different ending
Replaced one of the music tracks with a new tune: The triumphant theme that sometimes plays when Kyou feels he's majorly succeeded at something
New pose added for Nozomi's sprite
New sprite added for Risa (formerly Kasumi). She appears frequently during Hiroko's route
Rewrote most of the back half of the Villainous Robot path's second ending (obtained by arranging to meet Sayori at Nozomi's house)
Written functional dialogue for Nozomi's Reversal route, up to about halfway through the fourth day
Made some more tweaks to a few of the conversations along Hiroko's route
Fixed a bug on Nozomi's path where Kyou testing his theory on her to the full and taking responsibility led to the game jumping to Hiroko's ending and then crashing
Word count is now over 127,500
Numerous general typo/grammatical corrections
Known Issue
Nozomi's sprite fails to appear for one line during Sayori's route, on the third day

I'm currently able to commission a small amount of artwork for my projects to a limited budget. With a little more money I can keep my artist in work for most of the month and ensure the art I need to get done for the game gets done in a timely manner.
