Greetings friends! Today we would like to announce our plans for the rest of this year.
1. First of all, we would like to inform you that we have decided to do 2 chapters in parallel to be able to release more updates. As we said earlier, a lot of the sprites and backgrounds will be reused in the different chapters, which means that as we've created the Destitute Chapter, we've accumulated a significant amount of material for the Underworld Chapter. It will take us a two or three months to finish all the necessary material, and approximately in early fall we will be able to release the first day of the chapter. We won't make any specific promises for now, so that we don't have to finish everything in a hurry like we did with the last update.
2. As for Destitute Chapter - we plan to do a third day at the end of this year. As with the Underworld chapter, a lot of the material will be reused, and the work will be mostly behind the new CG and text.
3. The Portuguese and French translations of the second day of the Destitute Chapter are almost ready and will be released soon with an update, which will also significantly lighten its weight by optimizing the resources used. The Spanish translation is a bit delayed at the moment, but we will try to release it as soon as possible. In addition, we have almost finished the Japanese translation of the Prologue and will probably release it separately from the Destitute Chapter translation.
4. Also we are currently working on a big update that will add a music room, an in-game choices map, missing articles and dictionary illustrations, and expand some scenes. All in all, it will make for about 10-20 minutes of reading time. The choice map will look something like this:
You will see all scenes as blocks with "?" if you haven't reached them yet, and blocks of already passed scenes will contain a brief description of events. We may add a pop-up window with a more detailed description of the scene, because the novel is large and many players may forget some of the previous events. Expect an update closer to the beginning of June.
Don't forget about us! See you soon!
