Hello everyone!

As promised, you'll find a list of scenes in which you can write something for the next chapter.

Of the five available, only one ended up with a blackboard, so I guess I'll have to come up with another name for it all.

Pictures information
Check out the pictures, then refer to their numbers for more info on the scene itself!

1) Sensei's classroom - Characters present (MC, Sayuri, Misaki, Takeshi, Sensei)
2) MC's kitchen - Characters present (MC, MC's Mom, ???, ???), breakfast!
3) MC's neighborhood - Characters present (MC, Sayuri, ???), on the way to school
4) Lemonade stand - Characters present (MC), minigame
5) Amusement park(?) - Characters present (MC, ???), date

Tier benefits
Since this is the first time I've done this and there aren't many paid-subscribers, I'm going to exceptionally increase the benefits of Chapter 2 to allow more people to write things.

Tier 1: Write your name in the scene of your choice (From the five pictures provided).
Tier 2: Write a short message in the scene of your choice.
Tier 3: Write a short message in two scenes of your choice.
Tier 4: Write a short message in three scenes of your choice.

Message rules
-No real world politics, nor the usual problematic stuff (racism, doxxing, etc).
-Try to keep your message short, or at least within reason.
-No language restrictions! (Although English would be preferable).

How to send your message
Simply comment under this post, or send me a private message.
Remember to include the scene/picture number!
Put your message/name in quotation marks, it will appear as is.

If there's a problem, I'll contact you.

Examples of messages to send me:
1) "Sora is overrated."
->Anonymous message on Sensei's classroom scene

3) "This message is so long and the surface so small, Haptales will have to reduce it's font size! -Anon77"
->Signed message on MC's neighborhood scene

5) "Anon77"
->Name only on Amusement park scene

You can send/edit your messages until the 26th of April, after which I'll collect everything to make the renders.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. (I will usually reply at weekends)

Thanks for your time, and see you in a few weeks for another devlog!

Hello everyone!
The last couple of weeks have been quite a busy time for me, but I feel like I've made a lot of progress in spite of everything.
Unfortunately, this is mostly behind-the-scenes work, so this time, there is no preview pic or big render counts to show off.

What has been done?
So far, the whole script for Chapter 2 is written, but... I don't know yet how many renders there will be. What I do know is that it's going to be a long chapter.
Currently, and based on the script, chapter 2 should be at least 25% longer than chapter 1.
With post-render adjustments, it could be even more.

I also worked on the character's cards too, as I needed to make some outfits.
Plus a little work on the body of a certain character.

What am I currently working on?
Now I'm mainly working on the maps that will be used, I've got a few new ones to make so I think that should keep me busy for at least a weekend or two.

What's next?
After doing the maps, I'll be able to provide you with the list of blackboards(or whiteboards) on which you can leave your name (or a message).
Incidentally, I'm planning to improve the tier benefits in this matter for Chapter 2, so that each paid supporter can at least leave his name while higher tiers can write on multiple boards.
Well, I'll tell you more on that in a week or two.

Afterwards, I'll work on the renders, then the dreaded animations.

ETA?
None.
I'm busy with work until at least the end of April, beginning of May, and this next release isn't small.
So I'm not going to take any chances: Chapter 2 will be released in 2025!

Aaaand that should be all?
Thank you for your time and support, and I hope to see you again soon!


Ps: If you haven't seen it yet, I've opened a poll about the music used in the game.
It would be really helpful to have your opinion on the matter.

Hello everyone!

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the music used in the game and how it's used.

If you'd like to argue your choice in the comments, or if you have any suggestions for me, please don't hesitate!

As for the development of Chapter 2, see you next week for a devlog!
