Chapter 3 Sneak Peeks!
Heya guys!
I'm terribly sorry that I couldn't send these sneak peeks sooner. I just wanted to add more scenes so you guys can see more of what I've been working on. But here they are! And what do you think about the new style of renders? They're a lot smoother now, while still retaining the old style/feel, wouldn't you think?

Great renders, but am I the only one that is still bothered with the hairs? They look very weird(except Fiona's)

I always love how Lexi can both be hot and cute at the same time.

Hey guys! Dev log time. I'm bringing good news this time. I was able to make quite a bit of progress on the game these past 2 weeks. On top of progressing the scenes and animating one animation, the renders have also finally caught up with the script and have all been coded into the game.
Here are the stats so far.
- 465 images
- 12k words
- 3 animations
I'm pretty bad at making dev logs and usually don't know what to say aside from talking about the game . If there's anything else you'd like to know in general, feel free to type it in the comments, or send me a DM. I'll always reply.
Lastly, thank you all for supporting this project. I really appreciate it . I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thank you!

So good. I so enjoyed reading through the first two chapters. This easily slots into my Top 5 ongoing projects.
Compelling characters, interesting dynamics. It is so easy to get invested, to care about these characters, their problems and their asperations. Turns out that a shortcut to making compelling characters is to give them concrete motivation, a point seemingly neglected by the vast majority of amateur VN creators.
The eroge scene were hot, while being very appropriate and believable. Renders are better than average, and the problems they do have (artifacts with the hair and color grading) exist almost certainly for other very good reasons (manageable render times and image size); cause they want to be able to churn out consistent work on a manageable schedule. What I'm saying is they're not strictly mistakes, rather they're smart compromises.
But what probably does if for me the most is the author's voice, which is distinctive and clear. The dialogue is really good, and helps breath real life in the characters; but it's not all just dialogue. Having internal monologues, having the narrative show the internal thoughts of multiple characters, is a great way to bring an audience into their headspace without a ton of needless exposition that makes the characters sounds like idiots when they have to say it all out loud. Plus it's generally a sign of a strong creative vision behind things when an author can give voice to the internal lives of their creations; it shows that they've put real time and effort into imagining how their characters think and react to the world around them.
Also, I didn't have a single moment where the game did or said something that broke my immersion (to be fair, this might be different if I knew anything about volleyball, but everything passed the 'sniff test' for this layman at least). The MC having to track everyone down on foot instead of just being given a literal list of contact information that the college certainly has about each and every one of their students is a minor plot hole, but the journey itself plays an important role in the MC's advancement as a character, so it does serve an important narrative purpose. There might have been a better way to square that circle, but it was a minor nitpick that the rest of the overall excellent presentation more than made up for.
So yeah, pretty top tier shit. Not quite ready to topple Mutt & Jeff (Pale Carnations) or Kinderfeld (Now & Then, Interim Domain, ToxiCity) yet, but this is very solid journeyman work. I'd handily put this writing on par with Cosy Creator (Cozy Café), Jestur (Ripples), Stone Fox Studios (Chasing Sunsets), Vertigo (Crimson High), or NeonGhosts (Friends in Need).
