Hello everyone, happy July!

Sorry for the late update this month! I spiraled getting the Hanasu script done, and by the time I realized it half the month had already passed by...how time flies...

WHAT DID I DO?

I ended up working on almost all of my active projects this month, haha! 

For Actala, I did... a lot of things, to be honest. I was so set on finishing that I kind of stopped keeping track at a certain point. I finished 10 sprites, including significant redesigns for Faye, Liam, and Shizu. I also did a couple of backgrounds and CGs, and animated most of the CGs that I had done up until that point. 

Ultimately, while I did do quite a bit for Actala, I decided to postpone the demo update, as I wouldn't be able to get out a demo with a reasonable scope within the jam time frame (even if I had released Chapter 1, it would have been abbreviated from what I really wanted to release). You can check out my announcement post about this if you want more details. 

For The Deepwater Witch, I made a trailer, fixed up the Steam build, and participated in Steam Next Fest!

For MindMindMind, I fixed up the build for Steam and set it live! I also figured out how to set up DLC.

For Hanasu (the last part of the Karamu trilogy), I had hit a writing roadblock, so I revisited the outline from scratch and reoutlined it. In total I wrote around 20k words for the script during June. I also worked more on the Karamu and Kanau localizations. 

I also started development in earnest on my Mythology VN Project, The Perfect Woman, near the end of the month! I collected references and designed the main GUI and did some color palette concepts for the game.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR JULY?

ALAS, July is 2/3 of the way done already, but better late than never! This month, I'm focusing on The Perfect Woman's assets and voice acting casting call. I'm also finishing/finalizing the Hanasu script, in addition to steadily working on the Actala assets.

In the latter part of the month, I'll be polishing the Hanasu script and resuming work on the writing for a secret project! In addition, I'll be working on the coding for The Perfect Woman, as I'd like to be a little more experimental with it than with my other games!

Thank you to everyone who's following along, and see you next month!
