It's been a week and a half since Kickstarter ended and the team is still working hard. But as funds are depleting, progress is starting to slow down. We recently added our new charm design as a preorder on Storenvy. The money we make from these charms will help pay for backgrounds, sprites, event illustrations, and music, and will also be used to lower our future Kickstarter goal. Along with buying a charm, you'll get your name in our game's credits for helping fund us.
Now onto our progress!
We believe we have our event illustration implementation working properly. We have a few more tests on it, then we'll move onto putting in some additions to make our Save/Load menus more user-friendly.
Classes have begun for Noelle so she's once again balancing that along with game work. At the moment, she is running through Rory's 4th Chapter so she can upload it into our review group. After that, the writers will go back to working on Sven's first few chapters.
Along with writing and dealing with a few pressing family situations, Justin is sketching and finding references for Lordless' next background.
In other news, we've created a new survey to help provide some feedback about our first Kickstarter attempt and hopefully give us some insight of how to improve on our next campaign. We're thinking of replacing some rewards with new reward items, but want our fans' opinions first before we finalize anything.
One of our reward ideas is a fan disc/spin off game of A Very Important Date. This side game will be a common route style visual novel with a male lead and four potential suitors (2 males, 1 MtF, and Alison). The writing team has been playing around with this idea for a while now and have been working on it between AVID's workload. This game will help to build the world of A Very Important Date beyond The Looking Glass and Mimsboro. The male lead also has deep connections to the twins, so fans can delve into their past even more.
So that'll do it for today's update. See you soon with another. In the meantime, please spend a few minutes to take our survey!
